Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

#24 - Which strong person doesn’t cheat? Is talent determined by innate ability?

Sometimes, inspiration is simply unreasonable. When you seek it, it's nowhere to be found. But when you relax, it comes unbidden.

Roger was currently in the 'Room of Requirement,' his usual space for magical experiments, flipping through books.

Books borrowed from Professor McGonagall… As carefully selected personal collection of the Hogwarts Deputy Headmistress, Professor McGonagall lent these theoretical cornerstones to the Seer with a certain anticipation for the future. Each book was a precious masterpiece, influencing Roger's magical worldview to varying degrees.

And this one was particularly special.

《The Connection Between Soul and Brain》, was a rare modern work among the many books.

The author wasn't a specific wizard, but rather, 'The Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic.'

If Roger remembered correctly, the Department of Mysteries seemed to have a 'Brain Room.' It should be the research results from there.

Besides the above, this book had two other peculiar points.

One was that, rather than an integrated book, it was more like a bound collection of numerous internal publications.

The other was that there were large sections of text in the book blacked out in a █ █ █ pattern.

This wasn't done by Professor McGonagall, but was like this from the time of printing.

Perhaps it was due to the confidentiality clauses within the Department of Mysteries.

But even so, the remaining public content of this book still had considerable value.

Originally, Roger valued its extended discussion on whether the power of thought itself could harm others, leading to the question of 'whether a wizard's mental power, even without magical support, inherently possesses the ability to influence certain things in the real world'—a research theory related to wizarding mental power.

But now, he discovered that this book also contained other content of significant value.

For example, the compiler of this book clearly absorbed a lot of Muggle modern medical knowledge, and explored the functions of various areas of the brain in the human body.

When it comes to medicine, wizard healers are far superior to Muggle doctors in terms of methods… The added benefits of various potions are enough for the Muggle medical community to pursue for a long time.

So the progress of these wizards is also gratifying. Although they still haven't unlocked all the mysteries of the brain, the depth of knowledge surpasses Muggle brain science by at least one era.

If I combine the knowledge about the brain in 《The Connection Between Soul and Brain》 with the 'brain transformation theory' envisioned by the old wizard in his later years in 《Bloodline Magic and Transfiguration - Future Era Conjecture》, who used 'human body block deformation' to extend his life…

And then add the magical neuron technology I developed…

"This experiment is very dangerous… Even a slight mistake could lead to death," Roger murmured softly.

Messing with limbs and organs, if something goes wrong, St. Mungo's can still save you. Messing with the brain, if something goes wrong, there's no time to save you!

Roger has been at Hogwarts for some time now. During this time, he has not only found the path he wants to walk, but also begun his own practice and growth.

In this process, he also has a rough idea of where his abilities are in the magical world.

A person's abilities are diverse, like the attribute panel of a game character. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Roger's strength lies in using his logical thinking and his already solid values to digest and break down other people's knowledge, turning it into his own.

His mental power is very strong, far surpassing almost all young wizards, and even stronger than some of the professors who teach easy courses, but because of his shortcomings in spells and casting, his combat power has not yet synchronized to the level it should be, given his mental power strength.

Roger, who already has his own magical theoretical understanding system, has a certain magical research and development ability. According to Roger's judgment, it is probably not weaker than Snape during his Half-Blood Prince period, which is at the upper level in the wizarding world, but not the kind of truly top-notch talent that is rare to see in a century.

Roger's magical research and development progress can advance by leaps and bounds, purely because his precognitive ability to sense danger is too useful in the field of magical research and development.

In terms of spellcasting, he has a higher talent for transfiguration magic, which is more inclined to conceptual spellcasting, while black magic and defense against the dark arts, which are emotional, are more average, and have a poor affinity with spells and curses that are more inclined to fantasy spellcasting, such as the Fiendfyre Curse.

His weakness is memory. He often reads books in the library with Hermione Granger. Although they don't communicate with each other, Roger can see that Hermione can recite a book backwards as soon as she has read it, while he has to write dense notes with annotations, like the ones Harry used to have, to record the thoughts that flash through his mind in order to remember the knowledge he wants to memorize.

In terms of thinking speed, he doesn't have any advantage over other wizards. He learns things quickly purely because he has already formed his own learning logic and has good fine control over his mental power, rather than his brain actually working faster than others.

In general, if you exclude the power of the Seer, Roger has the potential to become a wizard at Voldemort's level, but to go further, to the next level, he is a bit lacking in potential and can only rely on chance.

And even if Roger can be one level stronger than Voldemort, or even three levels stronger, immortality is still…

Thinking of this, Roger overcame his hesitation!

Those who are afraid to take risks when doing great things, and who forget their lives for small gains, are not worthy of obtaining the fruit of immortality!

So what if the experiment is dangerous?

Which strong person's path to growth hasn't experienced trials of near-death?

Retreating will not make people stronger.

If you want to obtain the achievements of extraordinary people, you must do the great deeds of extraordinary people!

Let's do it.

"I have to learn the Undetectable Extension Charm… I remember this thing seems to be regulated by the Ministry of Magic?" After establishing his determination, Roger began to take action.

In his previous life, Roger had seen a work called 《A Certain Magical Index》.

There was an ability system in it where the stronger the brain's computing power, the stronger the combat power.

At that time, when Roger was modifying Harry to improve his talents, he thought about whether there was anything that could help him upgrade his current potential, and then he suddenly thought of this work.

In the Magical Index, some people connected their thinking with others in order to improve their strength, improving their computing power in a united way.

Some people also created external brains as big as houses to improve their computing power. Roger didn't know how they did it, or how this technology could be realized.

But Roger's magical neuron technology can't create external ones or borrow from others, but it may be possible to strengthen his own!

For example, if you put an Undetectable Extension Charm in your skull and then proliferate the brain…

Absolute memory, multi-threaded thinking, an increase in thinking speed by dozens of times, and even, after the brain has grown to a high degree, whether mental power may become stronger along with it, is also something that can be studied.

Of course.

Although Roger was determined that 'no matter how dangerous the experiment is, as long as the benefits it can bring are worthwhile, then it must be done.'

But that doesn't mean he's going to blindly work behind closed doors.

Roger wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that he was the most knowledgeable person in magic.

What's more, some of Roger's ideas also need to be communicated with the Ministry of Magic.

So…

"Professor McGonagall, help me!" Roger knocked on the door of Deputy Headmistress McGonagall's office again.

When in doubt, go shake people!

"Hmm?" At this moment, Professor McGonagall, who was thinking about a problem that was giving her a headache, looked over in confusion.
