There are still two and a half weeks until summer vacation.
During this time, Schelling decided to retreat. He hid in the secret room of Ravenclaw, racing against time and studying hard without sleep. He used expensive nutritional potions instead of three meals, used uplifting potions instead of sleep, wore the Crown of Wisdom to enhance his intelligence, and with the more time given by the hourglass of time, he read and studied the books in Ravenclaw's secret room one by one. .
The advantages brought by Xie Lin's super understanding and super mental strength were fully revealed at this moment. After drinking Bafei's brain-refreshing potion, his reading speed was almost three times that of before. It is not an exaggeration to say that one eye can read ten lines. One day At least thirty books can be read within it.
The most amazing thing is that not only does he remember everything, but he can also instantly organize and summarize the messy information in his mind, analyze and edit it, integrate it, transform it into usable knowledge, and even understand his own opinions.
(Note: Although Schelling read thirty books in the public area of the library every day when he was in first grade, the contents of Ravenclaw's books are obviously more profound and more difficult)
Ravenclaw was the most knowledgeable and research-minded among the four founders. The books she collected and compiled were the most precious collections at the time, which contained her various research on magic in various fields. , and unique insights. Among the many books in his collection, Xie Lin unexpectedly received another big surprise!
["Abatail Volume 2" obtained! 】
Abatail is an all-encompassing magic book. This book was split into eight fragments due to a battle in the Middle Ages, each volume corresponding to a magical realm. At that time, the Malfoy family obtained the first volume on spiritual magic, which has since led the family's rise and brought its glory. From the fact that Malfoy's Secret Charm focuses very much on spiritual magic, we can see how important this book plays in the inheritance of the Malfoy family.
The fragment of Abatail collected by Ravenclaw corresponds to curse magic.
The curse magic mentioned here is not the same thing as the so-called curse in black magic - the curse often mentioned in black magic is actually a more powerful evil curse. Curse magic refers to planting magic on something at a distance through some invisible link.
(Note: In black magic, there are Jinx, Hex, and Curse. They are classified according to the strength of the curse, but the boundaries are very blurry. After all, it depends on the user's own magic power and control.)
For example, what Voldemort planted in the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts was a type of curse magic; and what Voldemort planted in the Gaunt family ring was also a type of curse magic. But these are nothing compared to the most evil curse in the world - the blood curse. The blood curse will not end when the host dies, but will be passed down from generation to generation in the host's descendants, which is very vicious.
The longer the curse exists, the more powerful it becomes over time. This is why Bojinbok shop likes to recycle old black magic items, such as opal necklaces. The curse on them has reached the point of death if touched, so it will be more valuable.
Another example is the Egyptian pyramids. The warlocks of the ancient Egyptian era buried a large number of curses in the pyramids. After thousands of years, these curses have become unimaginably powerful, so Gringotts has a great demand for curse breakers.
Schelling learned from a research note of Ravenclaw himself that it turned out that Ravenclaw himself was once a blood curse host.
The curse of her bloodline is "absolute sanity", which means she does not have the seven emotions, six desires, joys, anger, sorrows and joys of normal people.
Ravenclaw devoted her life to researching ways to break the blood curse. Although she finally found a theoretically feasible way, she was deeply saddened by the death of her husband (her husband was Mr. Ravenclaw, not Mr. Ravenclaw). other founders), thus breaking the curse on their own. Therefore, her idea of breaking the curse has always been just a theory on paper and has not been confirmed in reality.
Of course, this is an irreproducible coincidence. After all, Ravenclaw's own strength is extremely amazing, enough to withstand most of the power of the curse, so it can be successfully solved in one go only under severe emotional stimulation.
(Note: The strength of the cursed person is also one of the factors that affects the power of the curse. Otherwise, Voldemort could directly curse the position of Hogwarts principal, and the whole play will end)
Although Ravenclaw finally lifted the curse, because she was an adult at the time, the inner demons buried in her heart by the bloodline curse had already taken shape, and this inner demon left an invisible magical crack in her heart. That is why, when she faced her daughter's betrayal (her daughter Helena stole her crown), she lost control of her emotions for a moment, became depressed and eventually died of a "Broken Heart".
(Note: Ravenclaw's blood curse was made up by the author; although she was unable to feel "love and happiness", she still tried hard. Marrying Mr. Ravenclaw is an example)
(Note: Ravenclaw's final death from "broken heart" is an official setting. The author privately added inner demons as an explanation, otherwise I always feel that it would be too easy for such a powerful wizard to die)
The dense notes are full of her various research and thoughts on the bloodline curse, and it has been stated many times that many of her thoughts and inspirations came from "Abatail Volume 2".
In her notes, she repeatedly emphasized that her successors must read Abatel carefully for themselves, because it contained very important theoretical knowledge that could more deeply complement her own assumptions. In addition, on the last page of the note, Schelling saw Ravenclaw lamenting with regret that Abatail was worthy of being an ancient book. She was very eager to get a glimpse of the eight volumes of Abatail, but it was a pity that She could only glimpse one volume in her lifetime.
[Obtain Ravenclaw's Bloodline Research Notes! 】
In the wizarding world, research on the power of blood is very rare. But Schelling first read Merlin's research notes in the restricted section of the library, and then obtained the research notes of the Greengrass family. Now coupled with the research notes of the Ravenclaw family, he combined the three families into one. He was in the field of blood power. The knowledge can be said to have reached an astonishing height.
Although he still has no idea how to activate the bloodline power hidden in his body in the short term, he has a lot of ideas on how to transform the species' bloodline and how to break the bloodline curse.
Another book that surprised Schelling was "The Mystery of Space."
The only well-known space magic in the magic world is the "Invisible Stretch Spell" that can expand the volume of space and three types of magic transformation. But Schelling knew that there was more to space magic than just that, such as the Room of Requirement, the Vanishing Cabinet, the Peeping Mirror, etc., all of which demonstrated more complex and advanced principles of space magic. This book directly involves the nature of space magic.
(Note: The Scrying Mirror is not a looking glass, but a mirror that can peer into the distance. It is similar to a mobile phone linked to a CCTV image. It is sold in the Ganus Magic Mirror Shop in Diagon Alley. Because this mirror is likely to be Abuse, the author sets it up to be strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic) (How to abuse? Men, do you still need the author to say it?)
Space magic involves an area considered one of the top secrets in the magic world - the void space (Limbo). The only time this space is mentioned in the original work is when Graham Montague was stuffed into a broken disappearing cabinet. when.
(Note: People's Society did not translate Limbo. This word has two origins in the original work. One is the place where Harry went after his death, which is translated as "Netherworld" in this book; the other is the gap between the space walls. is translated as "empty space")
At that time, when he tried to deduct points from the Weasley twins, they forcibly grabbed him and stuffed him into the disappearing cabinet. At this time, the disappearing cabinet was broken by Peeves and could not transport Montague to another place. Go to the disappearing cabinet.
As a result, he was trapped in a dark void, unable to move his body, but his consciousness could still remain clear. He could hear the sounds of Hogwarts, but also the voices coming from Borgin's Bock.
(Note: No one in Hogwarts has known the use of the disappearing cabinet for a long time. This is very unreasonable. The author believes that this is because the one in Borgin Bock’s shop broke in the early days and was replaced by the original owner many years later. It was sold to Borgin Burke's at a low price, and then restored by Professor Burke around 1992. Then Peeves broke the one in Hogwarts that same year, so the two matching Vanishing Cabinets were never in the same room at the same time. in good usable condition)
It wasn't until the next day that Montague saw that he had no hope of escape, so he used Apparition to escape. After failing the Apparition test, he got stuck in a toilet on the fifth floor of the castle. In the following weeks, Montaigne escaped. He has been in a daze and confused, and has not recovered from the shock of being stuck in the toilet.
The void space is the gap between space. There is no light, no sound, and no flow of time. The so-called magic transformation is to use the void space to connect two transmission points. The transmission route can be determined by thoughts. (Apparition), or through pre-linked magical pathways (floo network, vanishing cabinet), or through guidance anchoring the location of objects (portkeys).
The advantage of Apparition is that it is convenient and can be done anytime and anywhere, but the distance of Apparition is limited, and it is also quite dangerous to Apparition with other people.
Floo powder has overcome this problem, but it can only lead from a place with a stove to another stove that is linked to the Floo network, but the convenience is far inferior to Apparition.
Portkeys overcome the limitations of floo powder and can safely teleport a large number of people at the same time. However, they require touching an object to initiate disembodiment. This is why they are strongly controlled by the Ministry of Magic. After all, there is definitely no shortage of wizards in the wizarding world. It's not impossible to create portkeys to trick Muggle bastards, or even other wizards. Imagine accidentally touching a fallen Galleon and being teleported into a cage with a lion...
After understanding the nature of void space, Schelling realized that wizards' use of space magic was still at a very superficial stage - they did not use the characteristics of void space in combat at all. Think about it, even if you are facing Avada Kedavra, which claims to have no counter-curse, wouldn't it be enough as long as you can use space magic to transfer the curse to other locations? If the control is precise enough, the death curse can even be sent back to the caster...
["The Secret of Space" obtained! 】
There are about five hundred books in Ravenclaw's collection. Due to limited time, Schelling can only try to select the books that he is most likely to use and read them first to enhance his strength as much as possible. However, he did not forget the reward that Aquila had promised for reading all the books.
After two weeks of hard work, Xie Lin has read most of the books.
Before leaving, he used a copying spell to make a copy of all the books in his collection and took them away with him in his private library. The remaining unread books could be kept for further study during the summer vacation. Now, his private library includes books from the Malfoy family, the Black family, the Druella family, books donated by professors and girlfriends, etc., and the number has exceeded the one thousand mark.
As a bookworm who loves books, Xie Lin looked at the shelves filled with books, admiring his collection, and felt a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment in his heart.
