Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Peter

Chapter 144 Ancient Mantra
As soon as February passed, the real spring came to Hogwarts. Professor Sprout's hawthorn tree quietly took out its buds, and the students who went to the greenhouse for classes no longer had to suffer from the severe cold and snowstorm.

However, there are still a considerable number of students in the school who have colds and fevers. It is the season of change, and some little wizards change out of the thick winter uniforms prematurely in order to look fashionable and trendy. Frozen into ice sculptures.

Sirius has often stayed outside lately, hanging out with Hagrid, Harry, Ron and Hermione often visiting them when they are not in class, and for Sirius, being able to return to the school he was forced to leave halfway through his school days Make him feel like he's young again.

After solving the troubles of Voldemort's remnant, Mr. Crouch, the Slytherin monster and Dobby the house-elf, nothing disturbing happened in the castle, except for Andonova's big ship. Besides, Peter could hardly feel the breath of black magic.

Without class time, Peter spent most of his time tossing about the ancient spells left by Helbo, and the rest of his time was spent on promoting the intimate communication between Hogwarts and Durmstrang.

Haierbo's ancient incantations are complicated, and the chanting process is extremely lengthy. The most complicated one even requires the caster to recite the incantations for three days and three nights. The text also has its corresponding simplified expression method.

Among them, the red mantra symbolizes enthusiasm, the yellow mantra symbolizes protection, the blue mantra symbolizes wisdom, and the green mantra symbolizes mystery.

Peter has always felt that the above four basic spells can perfectly correspond to the four Hogwarts houses. It is no wonder that in the era of the four founders, the overly complicated ancient spells may not have been completely lost.

In addition to the four basic spells, there are many mixed spells, and Peter admits that he still can't master them—or rather, dare not master them.

For example, the effect of the black spell is terrible. Peter once tried it in the office, but fortunately he stopped the experiment halfway. He found that the black spell would be a good helper for creating the army of corpses. Limbs and limbs of dead bodies.

Incantations and transfiguration have obvious commonalities. They both require wizards to master the underlying magic laws. Since Haierbo's time, incantations have gradually faded out of the stage, giving way to more convenient and quick spells. The fruit that grows on this rattan is a mantra that has been artificially "encapsulated" to simplify it...

In other words, Peter's engraving spell can also "encapsulate" the bloated and complicated mantra, thereby simplifying it. This is definitely something that those ancient people who had to recite the mantra for three days and three nights thousands of years ago could not have dreamed of.

Peter conjured up a target in the office. Standing on the right side of the target, parallel to the target, he quickly completed several swinging movements with tricky angles and complicated trajectories. A dazzling red light spot appeared in the thin air middle.

With a puff, the paper bullseye was shattered by the spell emitted from the red dot. In order to avoid destroying his office, Peter deliberately withdrew his strength. He repeated the movement of swinging his stick just now, and another red dot appeared out of thin air. Peter Shaking the tip of the wand lightly, the two red dots fired spells at the same time, smashing the target into pieces.

A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Peter's mouth. This was the first time he successfully operated two red spells to attack the target.

Modern wizards who are accustomed to using spells rarely ask themselves a question: Why must the spell be fired from the tip of their own wand and not from another place?
The red incantation solves this problem. It can rely on the wizard's own powerful spiritual energy to have a very complex resonance with the core of the wand, and finally achieve the purpose of changing the firing point of the spell.

If Peter can use this spell proficiently in battle, and cooperate with the body copying technique of engraving magic, he can easily play "no dead angle damage". The only problem at present is that even after countless simplifications, the ancient spell's The spell-casting action is still too complicated.

After a short break, Peter began to practice the yellow spell that symbolizes protection.

He drew a triangle with his wand, and a shimmering yellow shield appeared in front of him. It was a bit like a thickened iron armor spell. He didn't master this spell well. According to Haierbo, the triangle Yellow spells are the most basic one.

He stabbed his wand forward lightly, and the triangular barrier was quickly pushed out...

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the office, "Professor Peddie!"

"Come in, my assistant." Peter said with a smile.

Holding a box of wizard chess, Hermione pushed the door in and greeted Peter politely.

The two arranged their chess pieces and sat down facing each other, Hermione nervously putting her hands on her lap.

"Professor, I... I'm not very good at wizard chess..." Hermione said blushing.

"It's okay, you just play chess, I'm not very good at chess."

In this way, Hermione held white, Peter held black, Hermione timidly moved a soldier at the beginning, and Peter took his time to respond with a knight.

After only ten rounds, Hermione discovered that she had been severely deceived by Professor Pedillo—he was no less skilled at playing wizard chess than Ron.

An old knight watched sadly as his young man was killed by the opposing knight. He put down his weapon and said in a low voice, "Granger, you are not fit to command an army."

Peter pulled his wand out of his robes, "You can try this," he said, waving his wand around Hermione.

A looming blue pattern appeared above Hermione's head, and she looked at it in amazement. This pattern resembled a human eye, and the whirlpool of shimmering light around the pupil was unfathomable, as if the knowledge and wisdom in the entire long river of history had converged. here.

"This is the blue spell, which can increase your cognitive ability." Peter explained.

Hermione re-examined the chessboard suspiciously, and soon she was surprised to find loopholes and opportunities that had been ignored before.

Peter and Hermione played inextricably for the next 25 rounds. Hermione's chess moves were no longer cautious, but became more aggressive. While Peter was tired of coping, he was delighted by the remarkable effect of the blue spell.

Hermione's knight beheaded the soldier Peter used to protect the king, Peter smiled: "General." He said, "If you let the soldier at the beginning survive..."

"Oh——" Hermione covered her face in frustration, and leaned back. The situation in the first ten rounds was too different, and she couldn't win even with the help of the blue spell.

"In the end, I was superior." Peter said with a smile, he lifted Hermione's blue spell and restored the wizard chess to its original state.

Hermione touched the top of her head in disappointment: "Professor, after you removed the spell, I feel stupid, so stupid."

"You're the smartest kid in the whole class—even the whole school."

Her eyes lit up: "If I can use this magic while studying, I can learn better. I deducted a full 3 points from Transfiguration class last semester!"

Peter said in an approving tone: "The spirit is commendable, but unfortunately, according to my research, there are many restrictions on the use of blue spells."
