Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 488 What is a wizard duel?
Integrating the soul into the magic painting can allow the magic painting to use divination and make it have powerful computing power. The prototype of the magic computer has already appeared before our eyes.

If we go one step further and make all magic paintings able to complete the interaction between the wizard and the "world database" in a very short period of time, then it will be possible to build a magic network.

Afterwards, Connor and Professor Victor discussed, analyzed and conducted preliminary experiments, and confirmed the feasibility of the magic computer through Angel. Then a new question was placed in front of them—where did the soul of the magic painting come from?

"Connor, according to what you mean, putting the soul into the magic painting can make the magic painting use divination, which has powerful computing power, but this is different from using divination directly by sacrificing sacrifices." What's the difference?"

"...No one wants to live in a painting as an information processor for the rest of their lives, not even a ghost. Just imagining that kind of life is enough to drive people crazy, which is very unreasonable"

Professor Victor frowned and said, now there is hesitation in Professor Victor's heart, because she feels that once this magic is completed, it will be no different from black magic.

Just imagine, in order to have a "magic computer" that can efficiently process information, wizards in the future will hunt a soul, then seal the soul in a painting, and then apply the Imperius Curse to the soul, so that those souls can be used by wizards. What is the difference between working hard and those slave owners who enslave others?
Professor Victor is unwilling to accept such a result. If he really wants to research such a Pandora's Box-like magic, then he might as well stop and give up this research.

"Professor Victor, of course we will not accomplish this magic by enslaving souls. I want to make a magic computer to make the wizarding world better. If we really want to do this, it will run counter to our starting point."

Connor shook his head and said his bottom line. In this magic, the soul is indeed an indispensable part, but if you really want to say that enslavement is not the case, because the soul only plays the role of "matchmaking", the whole The process of casting a spell does not actually require the soul to do anything
To explain it in a simple way, if this magic is compared to an instant chat software in a mobile phone, in fact, the software program itself still needs programmers to write, and the role of the soul is only to represent the APP icon that opens the software.

For example, the "magic program" written by Victor in the laboratory before, its function is to search for a person's location in reality through divination. If a wizard is to cast a spell, then he needs to prepare spell-casting materials to construct the spell The magic pattern then performed the divination in an orderly manner, but the result was not necessarily correct.

But after Professor Victor integrated the entire spell model into the magic painting, when Angel sneaked into the painting to operate, Connor only needed to write someone's real name on the "screen" of the magic painting, and the magic painting would appear on the magic painting. The divination is completed in an instant and the result is fed back!In this process, Angel's role is only to "start the program".

This is the real usage of the "magic computer", even Muggles who don't know divination at all can use it. According to this idea, as long as Connor writes a "program that can exchange information", Facebook can directly evolve, and then There is no need to exchange any "calling cards" in reality, and all functions can be realized through the magic model of "information divination" by directly adding friends on the "network"
If it really comes, the [Magic Network System] of "Magic Computer" + "Magic Network" will be established, and wizards will be able to enter the Internet era in one fell swoop!

But now, to really get to this point, the only thing left is the last piece of the puzzle - "soul".

The once wild idea is now becoming a reality step by step. Even Connor is inevitably a little excited. He pushed his non-existent eyes and said:
"Professor, in fact, when I was considering another issue—that is, the issue of the control of the magic network, I thought about the situation of involving the soul."

"What? Connor, did you plan to use your soul to complete this magic from the very beginning?!" Professor Victor was taken aback. He didn't expect that the student of what turned out to be a big devil with a cruel mind.

"No, no, no, I was just thinking about managing the magic network at the time, but I didn't expect that by mistake, I ended up with the same goal in the end."

There was a little bit of excitement in Connor's tone. Of course, he was referring to Ravenclaw in the Hanging Garden. The role of this "final puzzle" turned out to be so important at this time
"Professor, we will definitely succeed. Even if it really can't be achieved through the method I mentioned, we can use other souls. There is no requirement for this magic to use the soul of a wizard, right? For example, we can try Take advantage of the Eater of Souls!"

"That's right! There's another method! Eater of Souls also has a soul. If it doesn't work, try goblin giant centaur or other magical animals, it's also possible!" Professor Victor suddenly realized.

no no no!The last few are too much!Horses are people too!
Well, Connor thought he was already "cold-blooded", but he didn't expect that in the eyes of his professor, creatures other than wizards were not enough to be a concern at all!
"It's not impossible." Connor wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said, "Instead of using the soul of a creature, we can be bolder and try to create a soul! Just like Angel, right, since we can succeed One time, it may not be impossible to succeed the second time, isn't it used to create miracles."

"Connor, what you said makes sense. It's because I didn't think carefully, so I will continue this experiment." Professor Victor easily passed the hurdle in his heart. Sure enough, most of the researchers' moral bottom line is not very reliable. spectrum
"But I really didn't expect to study the soul in the end." Professor Victor shook his head: "We wizards have too little research on soul magic, and I am not very good at it. Connor, Maybe we need some help."

"Ah, there will be. Soon my teacher, that is, Mr. Nicole Flamel will come to our Hogwarts. I will then."

"Oh my god! Is this true!!? Mr. Nico is coming to our school!!!" Professor Victor was so excited that he almost jumped up, and Connor didn't even know that the professor was still a fan of Nico.

"Um, yes, we will also conduct research on the Eater of Souls together, and we will need your help, Professor."

"Of course! It's my duty!"

"Connor, you really shouldn't miss today's duel at the Dueling Club! You don't even know how exciting it is!"

After that, Connor and Professor Victor continued to discuss until the evening. When Connor finished his magic research and dragged his tired body back to the dormitory, Roger ran over to share his happiness with him with an excited face.

"Huh? What's the matter, Professor Lockhart was hung up and beaten by Professor Snape?" Connor responded casually while undoing the bow tie of his school robe.

"Eh!? You know this too? Did you also watch the video of Duel Club?"

"No, I guessed it." Connor remembered that when the dueling club was open, Lockhart seemed to be humiliated by Snape, and in the original world line, Harry also revealed his Parseltongue identity?But now Harry has been exposed long ago, and his current style review is much more embarrassing than the "original style review".
"Hey, then your guess is quite accurate. At the beginning, Lockhart was indeed dueling with Snape. In the end, Lockhart couldn't even take a single move from Snape. Hahaha, the others were directly thrown into the air. When I got to the auditorium on the second floor, I laughed so hard, hahaha." Roger described the scene with Connor briskly, and he could see that he was very happy at this time.

"But this is not the only wonderful thing! Connor, what happened later is much more interesting!"

"Oh? Anything else interesting?"

"I didn't know that the second-year kids were so good, especially Harry and that Neville, hahaha, when Snape let Harry and the second-year Malfoy perform on stage, guess what happened afterwards ?”

Connor raised his eyebrows: "Draco summoned the poisonous snake and Harry controlled it?"

"Huh? Isn't Harry a Parseltongue? How could that Malfoy summon a snake to deliver it?"

"No? What happened then?"

Roger danced and danced vividly: "The situation at that time was wonderful! That Malfoy is indeed a Slytherin from an old family, and those attack magics use needles or not poking! He was able to cast spells multiple times in a row. I was in the second grade. Can't do it all the time, but it's no use, all his spells are dodged by Harry, and guess how Harry copes?"

Connor staggered, with a bad premonition, hesitantly said: "Harry, he won't take out his sword and run over to chop people, right?"

"Huh? You actually guessed that someone cut someone with a sword?!" Roger laughed directly:

"Someone did turn a wand into a sword on the dueling ring, but it was Neville Longbottom in the second year, not Harry, who was more direct - he went straight up and punched that Malfoy is down!"

"Hahahaha! We were all stunned at the time. A group of people watched Harry sit on top of Malfoy and beat him up for half a minute! Hahahaha, if Snape hadn't recovered, that poor Malfoy would have Go to the school hospital! I have a video here, you want to watch it, hahahaha!"

"." Oh my God, Harry is... totally going the wrong way. Will he become a school bully like his dad in the future? It's none of my business. I haven't done anything. Ah, Connor clasped his hands silently in his heart, hoping that Draco is okay
"This is not over yet. Fred's younger brother, that is, Ron, is even more outrageous. He has learned ten percent of the [card magic] you performed before. If you haven't taught him privately, then Probably because this kid is self-taught, Ron prepared a stack of cards to chase after that kid from the Goyle family, if Snape hadn't stopped him, the kid from the Goyle family might have been roasted on the spot."

"Later, those people followed suit and all took out their magic cards to fight. If it wasn't for Snape's later rule that only magic wands could be used, this dueling club might exist in name only. Hahahaha, Coca-Cola killed me. I don’t know that the kid in the second grade is so talented. But I think, there is no rule that other props cannot be used in wizard duels, right? I always feel that the rules will be changed in future duel competitions.”

"." Although this style of painting has become a bit crooked, it seems that there is no problem for wizards to fight with cards, right? And the rules of duels for wizards...?
If the use of cards is allowed, will the slow-moving stocks at home be sold more? It seems that it is time to remind my grandfather to follow up on this matter.

Connor, who has high ambitions, never forgets to earn money for his family. He is too competent as the patriarch, Connor thought so.

"Tell me about anything interesting. It really sounds interesting."

"Yes! Of course there is! After that, of course, it will be time for our fraternity to perform, listen to me."
