The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

In the days that followed, Erwin stared directly at Melanie from time to time.

Of course he didn't have any special thoughts about her, but was judging her threat level.

With so many extremely complicated rune shackles, this female vampire can only play tricks at best.Hogwarts itself can be regarded as a huge magic item, and the rune shackles are also related to it, which will restrict Melanie from leaving the school.

The only means of communication between Hogwarts and the outside world seems to be the owl, which is very easy to monitor, and it is theoretically impossible for Melanie to convey any news to the outside world.

In this case, it seems that there is no need to make too cruel choices.

After all, Erwin still remembers that this female vampire once protected him in Romania's Wyrmrest Sanctuary.

Melanie seemed to be unaware of Erwin's mental activities, she showed a kind of caring spirit, she must sit next to Erwin every time she eats, she will save food for him when he is late, and often Talked to other people about him, offered to run errands to the library for him, and even helped him with that post-reading essay that Lockhart had requested.

This last item won Erwin great favor.

However, he would only believe that Melanie would really like him only when his IQ was reduced to one-third, but this female vampire at least showed an attitude, and Erwin was even more curious about how long she could last like this .

Let's maintain the status quo and continue to observe.

Once the routine of life becomes regular, time will pass quickly, and Erwin has returned to Hogwarts for a week in a blink of an eye.

He overheard the conversation between Lavender Brown and Melanie, "Professor Lockhart asked you to help answer his fan letters again?" The second-year girl couldn't hide her envy.

Erwin and this Gryffindor girl in the same grade are limited to mutual acquaintances, and Melanie has basically integrated into the student group perfectly, making him seem more of an alien than this female vampire.

"Yeah, with Harry Potter," Melanie said with a smile, "Mr. Lockhart's fans are very interesting, and many of them are foreigners. The question they ask the most is whether Mr. Lockhart has not married."

Such insider information caused other girls around her to scream.

"What are you up to?" Erwin asked Melanie, frowning at dinner. "What do you want from Gilderoy Lockhart?"

The current professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is definitely an incompetent egomaniac. The admiration shown by a beautiful girl like Melanie can greatly satisfy his vanity, and his IQ and experience are not enough. What may be compared to a vampire must be played around.

"It's just for fun," Melanie smiled cutely. "I think he has a secret, so I want to find out. Don't worry, I won't hide any of my actions from you."

Erwin remained calm and wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Since you have a good relationship with Lockhart, then find a way to get him to exempt me from my obligation to attend classes."

Because of Erwin's own particularity, Dumbledore had already notified the teachers of various subjects at the beginning of the school year, so that his skipping classes could be legalized, provided that he could prove that he had learned the content taught in that class.

The education methods for talents with different levels are naturally different.

The headmaster's words are equivalent to the school rules to some extent. With Dumbledore's help to give the green light, Erwin didn't have to go to the Transfiguration and Charms classes.As for Snape, all he needed to do was put a bottle of the refining product of the potion he learned that day on his podium before each class, and he could walk out of the potion classroom with a big swagger.

But here comes the problem. Gilderoy Lockhart's class is basically a reading exchange meeting of his books or a drama rehearsal for the contents of the book.

This kind of teaching content... Erwin refused. He didn't want to read Lockhart's masterpiece. Strictly speaking, the guy's writing is not bad, but all works can't escape the category of popular literature. The whole book You won't gain anything from reading it other than a few bits and pieces of knowledge about a particular creature.

But after experiencing the incident in the first grade, Erwin has realized that it is best not to have a direct conflict with a professor, after all, the final grade of the subject is under the control of the other party.

Erwin didn't care much about how Lockhart fooled the teaching. That was the headmaster Dumbledore's concern. The only thing he needed was to keep Lockhart from interfering with the professor's power.

"Is this an order?" Facing Erwin's request, Melanie asked back.

"Then will you accept it?" Erwin's eyes changed.

"Of course, honorable Lord Frost." Melanie said in a joking tone, seeming a little aggrieved.

The research on permanent armor protection was progressing fairly well, and after rejecting some seemingly feasible solutions, Erwin realized that he should make an additional magic item.

Immediately add a new armor spell when the previous armor spell disappears, which can also be understood as permanent armor protection, and what Erwin wants to omit is such a supplementary process, which is not just a matter of trouble , but because a wizard can only use one spell at a time.

Assuming a duel, when the opponent uses the disarming spell, we can choose to use the disarming spell to shoot at each other or use the armor spell for protection. We can only choose one of the two, but if the armor spell is in a permanent state , then two spells can work at the same time.

Erwin feels that his thinking is correct. After grafting blood, he can be regarded as a battery with limited output power but nearly unlimited reserves. Opening up additional output channels is the most effective way to improve combat effectiveness.

As for magic items, in fact, this kind of thing is quite popular, that is - magic wand.

The structure of the wand is very simple, basically it is the body of the wand core and a few embedded runes. Professor Stewart and his graduate students can't figure out the mystery, but there is no doubt that the wand can be said to be the greatest human wizard. invention.

Because the vast majority of wizards, with their blood talent, can't use any decent magic.

The magic bloodline talent mainly depends on three aspects, total amount, recovery rate, and output efficiency.

Among them, output efficiency is the biggest problem for human wizards.

Because human beings themselves are not a magical race, and the magic power comes from outside the ethnic group, the racial ability of human beings does not include the use of magic.

If magic power is compared to electric current, the resistance of the human body can be said to be quite high, and this "resistance" and magic resistance are two different things.

Except for some very gifted beings, most people with magic power can hardly use magic freely, and uncontrollable magic is often tantamount to disaster.

Until the invention of the magic wand.

The core of the wand comes from various magical animals, which is equivalent to adding a superconductor circuit to the body of a human wizard, so that the magic power can be released.

Because of the wand, the concept of wizards can be relaxed, and the requirements for talent are not so strict.Although the proportion of wizards in the entire human race is very low, and there are only five-figure wizards among the more than 6000 million people in the UK, it must be known that the population of the UK itself only accounts for about one percent of all humans.

So looking around the world, the number of wizards is...

million level.

Neither goblins, vampires, charmers, nor the current fire dragons are able to confront this order of magnitude head-on. Therefore, human wizards are in an absolute dominant position in the magic world. Although goblins occupy the financial dominance, they cannot shake The fundamental status of human wizards.The influence of Romanian vampires is also limited to Romania, and they must also cooperate with human wizards, while fire dragons are even worse, and a considerable part of them are kept in captivity.

Among them, the inventor of the wand deserves a lot of credit.

Compared with the great benefits brought by the wand, the disadvantage of its own weakness is almost negligible.

This is what Erwin learned from Master Flamel's collection of books, and many of his previous doubts have been answered.

Of course, for him now, the magic wand no longer plays such a key role as a "superconductor", but it is still a very good weapon and tool, which can increase the effect and provide certain aiming assistance and ray functions .

As for the resident armor spell, create another "magic wand", not necessarily a "magic wand" that maintains the shape of the wand. Its function is to serve as a node, allowing Erwin's magic power to be transmitted to form armor spontaneously The effect of the spell.

To put it bluntly, it is a rune tool powered entirely by Elvin body.

Of course, there are similar magic accessories with magic defense ability on the market, but the quantity is rare and the price is extremely high. After offsetting a certain amount of magic attacks, they will become invalid, because the magic power they operate actually comes from their own materials.

And Erwin is the resident in the true sense. As long as the mana consumption of resisting the attack does not exceed his mana recovery, his armor curse will last forever.

Of course, this philosophy seems to apply only to him.

Among the many item styles, Erwin chose the simplest ring, which is light, easy to hide, and not easy to lose.Except for a few natural gems, most of the magic materials are biological products. It happens that there is still half of the Welsh green dragon's skull left in Master Flamel's inventory. Erwin thinks it is quite good, and he has a high degree of fit with dragon materials, so Just use it directly, and let the workshop that comes with Lemay's cabin make more than a dozen rough rings.

Select the rune, combine the code, and engrave it next, because what is essentially consumed is Erwin's own magic power, and there is no need to configure special potions as the driving source, and the cost of trial and error is surprisingly low.

In the case of nearly unlimited energy, technology research and development is naturally extremely fast.

Erwin's almost non-stop attempts achieved results on the fourth day. The first-generation armor ring has obvious room for upgrading.

But the Iron Armor Curse is not enough, this magic does not really summon armor, not to mention that the defensive effect against advanced black magic is very limited, this spell can only offset the magic power in essence, and has no effect on physical blows .

Erwin of course remembers how Marcus died.

Can't you not think of a way to restrain the abilities you have?

He doesn't want to capsize in the same gutter.
