Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 154

c153 leave

Life is really fair. In this world, wizards have reached the pinnacle and occupied areas with good environments.

Aliens that are harmful to humans have basically been driven to inaccessible and harsh areas.

But they have a lifespan that wizards cannot match.

Whether it is vampires or goblins, or house elves that have been completely conquered by wizards.

Their lifespans are several times that of wizards. As long as those longer-lived races do not experience any accidents, it is easy to live for a thousand years.

For wizards, even the strongest among wizards, they still cannot escape the consequences of old age and physical decline after a hundred years.

As far as Grete knows, the longest-lived wizard in the magic world is Barry Winkle, who once published an invitation to his 755th birthday in the Daily Prophet.

However, Grete did not comment on this news.

After all, everyone understands the tone of the Daily Prophet. As long as you are willing to spend money, they dare to publish this news even if you say you are the king of the world.

So, from Gretel’s point of view, he thought that this news was probably a prank.

After all, even Nicolas Flamel, who possessed the Philosopher’s Stone, only lived to 665 years old.

There was only one Philosopher’s Stone in the world in 1991 when Gretel came into contact with the magic world.

And in June 1992, it was successfully destroyed under the witness of Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.

Nicolas Flamel, who had fame, wealth and love, chose to accept death calmly after more than 600 years of life.

According to insiders, Nicolas Flamel dressed himself up very decently on the day of his death with his wife Perenelle.

He closed his eyes calmly in the sun with his fingers interlocked.

The last words he left to this world were: I have enjoyed too much, and now I think it is time to face the arrival of death calmly.

I never evaluate the value of life by the length of life. Death is a necessary path for everyone, so there is no need to be afraid or worried.

Finish what you should do, and calmly welcome the guest of death that everyone cannot avoid.

Perhaps, the kingdom of death is not that scary.

Dumbledore said that Nicolas Flamel had lived a clear life in his long life.

He and his wife have seen the prosperity of the world. They have walked the whole world, whether it is the magic world or the Muggle world, more than once.

The reason why they did not give up taking the Philosopher’s Stone was that they did not know how to deal with it.

Fortunately, Dumbledore came to borrow the Philosopher’s Stone to set a trap for Voldemort, which finally helped him solve a knot in his heart.

In a long life, it is difficult to have passion for life after seeing everything clearly.

Dumbledore’s arrival gave him a reason.

So, after the end of the first school year, Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel calmly destroyed this rare treasure in the world.

Human life is precious precisely because it is limited.

Voldemort, who pursues immortality, will never understand this truth.

In the long pursuit of immortality, he has lost his mind, and he is just immortal for the sake of immortality.

So much so that he chose to tear his soul apart, turning himself from an excellent graduate loved by everyone into a hated person.

It is hard to say whether he will regret it, because such a broken soul does not even have the chance to go to the kingdom of death.

Nicolas Flamel is like this, and Gretel does not think that Barry Winkle, a man with only a name, has really lived for more than 700 years.

If he really has this ability, I believe Voldemort would not have to plan the Philosopher’s Stone.

After all, compared with Nicolas Flamel, a wizard famous all over the world, Barry Winkle is really an unknown person.

There are no saints in the magic world who live in seclusion, are not well-known, but have a broad mind.

At least, such people do not exist in Europe.

——

Gretel left, and left in a hurry.

On the second day after the apprenticeship ceremony of little Vera, Gret packed his bag and prepared to go to America to see the cruel hell on earth.

By the way, he saved Fred King, now the copper ring, from the hands of the black wizard.

He took away a lot of things, including but not limited to Kunlun’s collection of books, information, special materials…

He also did not forget to leave something for Kunlun, of course, these things were mainly left for little Vera.

Gret originally planned to return to Great Britain, pretend to be a black wizard, and casually get on a gold mining ship to follow them to America.

However, after Kunlun learned that he had less than a week left, Gret gave up this unrealistic idea.

After all, even with the help of wizards, the gold mining ship could not carry him to America within a week by relying on the wind summoned by magic.

Originally, he was thinking that he could experience the unique honeymoon between wizards and Muggles in this era with his unique black magic.

After all, this period of history was not recorded in modern times.

There has never been a period of time when the distinction between black wizards and white wizards was so clear.

The white wizards huddled in remote mountainous areas, self-sufficient.

The black wizards plundered across the sea with these lunatics, colluded with them, and killed many people.

White wizards are too shy to record, and black wizards will not choose to leave evidence of their crimes.

In modern times, the wizards who knew the inside story have long since turned into a mass of withered bones and disappeared into thin air.

Naturally, no one mentions this disgraceful history.

Grete only knew about this after Dawn’s power expanded.

In order to find traces of magic particles from history, it helps you to conduct research by analogy.

Grete rarely allowed Dawn to fully activate, collecting all kinds of useful and useless historical records.

Only then can some dust-laden history be unearthed from some fragments of words.

Although Gretel wanted to experience the ‘harmonious’ relationship between wizards and Muggles, so as to create a new era in the future, balance the relationship between wizards and Muggles, and collect some experience.

But if you think about it carefully, this collusive relationship between gangsters seems really unnecessary.

Whether it is Muggles or wizards, a harmonious and stable society is a must.

So he won’t allow anyone to mess up the world.

It would be fine if he was born in this era. After all, chaos has become the norm here.

Even if he tried to change, he would probably end up becoming a Death Eater or a saint.

The day he becomes famous may be when he is forced to take the position.

Adding a yellow robe may sometimes be a last resort.

Therefore, it is better to ignore other business and try to find out where the goblins who came to America are as soon as possible.

After not rescuing Fred for a day, Grete’s heart couldn’t settle down for a moment.

Although he saw the powerful correction ability of Time Changhe from little Vera, Gretel was still inevitably worried that something might happen.

However, although time is tight, you still need to be well prepared.

After obtaining Kunlun’s magic system, Gretel briefly slowed down and studied while rushing, trying to understand Kunlun’s secret techniques.

It’s like shrinking the ground into an inch. In the world of Xianxia, ​​this is the top ability involving space.

But in such a magical world, a simple spell, paired with the corresponding spell-casting gesture, and the surging magic particles will send the spell-caster to an extremely distant place.

Fortunately, after years of practice, Gretel’s own abilities no longer rely so much on the panel.

With a high altitude, Grete’s practice was not difficult at all.

If he had really been studying in Kunlun at that time, without the existence of the panel, he might not have been able to come out for more than ten years.

Kunlun’s magic can be said to be completely different from European magic.

Even the most basic composition of power is the same magic power.

But they cannot be compared at all.

Grete saw the concept of magic particles through observation.

But in Kunlun’s system, they use their own spirits to sense the existence in the dark through meditation day after day.

After many years of practice, the concept of magic particles was established.

Only then can Kunlun’s secret technique be successfully used.

Otherwise, those ordinary refreshing spells, cleansing spells, and clearing heart spells can still be successfully cast by relying on their own magic power.

However, secret techniques such as those big cloud and rain spells and shrinking the ground into an inch would be impossible to successfully perform without the participation of magic particles.

Gretel had never meditated, nor had he mentally constructed the most basic concept of magic particles.

However, this does not prevent him from fully displaying his secret skills.

How can the cognition established in the mind through induction and imagination compare with seeing it with one’s own eyes.

What’s more, he has been working with the magic particles for so long, and the tacit understanding between the two is completely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

According to Kunlun’s records, it is impossible to successfully use a spell like shrinking the ground into an inch without three to five years of practice.

No matter how talented a person is, it will take him several months to make a move.

Gretel was different. The first time he used it, he successfully used it and almost hit the mountain.

Fortunately, he merged himself into the magic particles in time and escaped.

Speaking of which, the shrinking spell is very similar to apparation, and is a good way to travel quickly.

But there is no dizzy feeling like being compressed and thrown into the engine for countless revolutions.

And because Shukuchishengchen mainly relies on the response of magic particles in nature to construct spells.

Therefore, the requirements for one’s own magic power are not that high.

Even if he fails to shrink to the ground, he will only get a bruise at most, and if he is unlucky, he may have broken muscles and bones.

However, compared with the consequences after the Apparition fails, this is not a big problem at all.

In previous years’ Apparition classes, there were many people who stuck themselves in walls or cut themselves into several pieces.

That is to say, for an orthodox educational institution like a magic school, the Apparition class will always have life-saving medicines ready, as well as medical staff standing by.

If it were the wizards in the wild, a few would disappear every year.

Then one day in the future, people will find the body tissue of the missing wizard inside a wall, a tree trunk, or something else.

The danger of Apparition is so high that every year Hogwarts hires professional Apparition teachers from the Ministry of Magic.

Watching over students who have applied for the Apparition license exam.

Teach them the tricks, take them to experience Apparition several times, and then summarize the key points.

If you really want to compare them, Apparition is a bit like point-to-point teleportation.

In the depths of their hearts, wizards construct the place they want to go and use magic to form a channel.

But if the wizard is not familiar with Apparition or makes a mistake, there may be some unexpected situation at the landing point.

And then put yourself in danger.

Shrinking the earth into an inch is more like folding space, folding the place you want to go with your current location in space.

The advantage is that most of the energy that constitutes the spell is provided by the magic particles themselves, which can ensure that the wizard retains a certain degree of combat power after traveling a long distance and appearing at the place you want to go.

It will not cause the magic power to be exhausted due to frequent travel, so that people will not be caught off guard.

The disadvantage is also here.

After the European wizards have clearly determined the destination they want to go to, the magic power they provide will only be kept within an acceptable fluctuation range.

As long as there are no mistakes, there will be no unexpected situations.

However, the shrinking of the earth into an inch is different.

Only after a long period of meditation can you form a tacit understanding with the magic particles.

The magic particles will not be too active due to emotional fluctuations, supplying more energy than needed and colliding with other things.

This is the case with Grete just now.

Because it was the first time to use the shrinking of the earth into an inch to hurry on the road, Grete couldn’t help but let his thoughts drift.

Then he was dragged over by the crazy surge of magic particles.

This problem is naturally not difficult to solve.

Just like the apparition, you can get used to it by using it more often, and it is not easy to come up with any unexpected things.

Although the apparition and the shrinking of the earth into an inch can be said to be competitors in terms of function.

But the comfort of the shrinking of the earth into an inch is something that the apparition will never be able to compare.

There are so many ways of moving. If there is anything that can really compare with the comfort of the shrinking of the earth into an inch, it is only the portal that Grete has not yet fully developed.

In terms of comfort, these two spells are almost indistinguishable.

But the ability to shrink the earth to an inch can only be performed by the wizard himself.

Portals are different. As long as the portal is solidified,

Whether it is a wizard or a Muggle, whether it is a magical alchemical item or an ordinary industrial product, it can be easily transferred through the portal.

Before this, if wizards wanted to deliver something, they either relied on messengers to deliver it.

Or the wizards themselves carried the goods.

The significance of the portal is not to add a comfortable and convenient way of travel.

It is more about turning the whole world into a state of mutual exchange.
