The man behind Hogwarts

The mysterious sawtooth vine attracts William's attention.

After walking a few hundred meters along the foot of the snow-capped mountains, William found more than a dozen of these plants, most of them growing in spirals under rocks that were not covered with snow.

I tore one off casually. It was less than one meter long and had very few roots. I don’t know how it survived in such a snowy mountain environment.

Remove the tiny spikes from a sawtooth vine and it instantly turns into a long whip.

He raised his whip and made a "crackling" sound in the air.

William's eyes lit up. Except for its slightly thin body, this sawtooth vine was actually very handy.

Before entering Hogwarts, William had wanted to practice a weapon, but unfortunately he never found one that suited his liking, so the idea was shelved.

He also tried swords, spears, etc., but he always failed to use them smoothly.

Unexpectedly, this sawtooth vine gave him a strange feeling.

Maybe a bullwhip would be a good choice?

Unfortunately, this sawtooth vine cannot be taken to the outside world.

As early as the successful evolution of the Yuanwang Hotel, William conducted many experiments, one of which was: Things in the Yuanwang Hotel cannot be taken to the outside world, and Sawtooth Vine is no exception.

William secretly said "It's a pity".

After patrolling the foot of the mountain, William chose a gentle slope and began to explore up the mountain.

Snow, dirt, rocks, sawtooth vines.

There are only these four things in the entire Snowy Mountains. Apart from sawtooth vines, there are no other animals or plants.

At the top of the Snowy Mountains, there is a vast platform, covered with snow. At first glance, it looks like a silver plate, smooth and smooth.

When you pry open a layer of snow, there is only rock and soil underneath, not even the sawtooth vines.

"It seems that although sawtooth vine is tolerant of low temperatures, it still cannot grow directly under the snow."

"But why is there such a plant here?"

William stood on the top of the snowy mountain and looked down the mountain, with several doubtful thoughts flashing through his mind.

The magic of ‘Yuanwang Hotel’ is becoming more and more mysterious.

Thinking back to the scene when it was originally evolved, I was facing Snape's Legilimency and was in danger, and I was in urgent need of a magic to hide my memory, so a target reward independently evolved into the Lookout Hotel.

According to the system prompts, the prerequisite for specifying magic deduction is that William himself needs to provide evolution reference.

Such as role, evolution direction, etc.

"Besides wanting to hide my memory, did I have any deeper thoughts at that time?"

I frowned and thought about it, but found nothing.

"Perhaps, it's subconscious or something, and there's no way to notice it."

Look at the time, an hour has passed.

At this point, the exploration work in the Snowy Mountains has been completed. Except for the doubtful existence of sawtooth vines, there are no other abnormalities. This made William put down a worry.

Carrying a sawtooth vine whip, William descended the mountain and returned to the hotel.

Plant the sawtooth vine in a small nursery and give it a spiritual nourishing technique.

The spiritual light shone down, and the sawtooth vine swayed like a spiritual snake.

The chopstick-thick vine gradually became thicker. It was originally only as thick as a chopstick, but in a short period of time, it grew to the size of a little finger.

The four rows of equidistant saw teeth on the vines became sharper and sharper, reflecting the cold black light.

Extended, ferocious, jagged.

When the change ended, a two-meter-long black sawtooth vine, as thick as a little finger, grew from inside the nursery to outside the nursery, and the tip of the vine had fallen to the tile floor.

"This kind of change can happen just once with the spiritual cultivation technique. What if it happens a few more times...?"

William was excited and ready to try.

But when I unleashed the spirit-nurturing technique, the feeling of stagnation in my mind became even stronger.

[You can release it once at most, and then you need to wait for the magic power to recover. 】

Naturally, such a reminder appeared in William's mind.

Ok?

Is this a sixth sense, or a wizard's instinctive reaction?

William put his hand on his forehead and started thinking.

It seemed that something was a little wrong from the first time he cast the Spiritual Nurturing Technique. When he cast it for the first time, William clearly felt that his eyes were dizzy and he was in a state of confusion for a moment.

When the spell was cast on the seeds and saplings, although the dizziness disappeared, the magic power stagnated again.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

Do wizards cast spells with restrictions on their magic power?

But when William usually practices magic, he can cast hundreds of them an hour. As long as he has enough energy, no matter how many spells he casts, he will not lack magic power, nor will he feel any sluggishness.

Only the art of cultivating spirits is so special. What is the reason?

William was deeply curious and wanted to go to the library to find the answer immediately.

Looking at the two-meter-long jagged vine, William raised his wand and chanted a spell.

"Since you can still cast it once, let's continue and see what the extreme changes of Sawtooth Vine are. If it still doesn't work, wait until the magic power is fully restored and try again."

The spiritual light shone down, and the vines revived like spiritual snakes.

But this time, the changes in Sawtooth Vine exceeded William's expectations.

The sawtooth vine has not grown longer or thicker, and even the four rows of sawtooth have not changed.

The only thing that changed was the color of the sawtooth vine.

The original sawtooth vine and sawtooth were both black, as black as soil. Even after a spiritual cultivation technique, the color did not change.

But under the second spiritual cultivation technique, the color changed.

The black vines gradually become lighter, dark gray, light gray, gray and white.

Eventually, the sawtooth vines turn white.

White as snow.

White vines and black sawtooth, the two colors look very harmonious, but there is a twisted sense of opposition that makes people's hearts tremble.

The changes don't stop there.

When the color turned completely white, the sawtooth vine started twisting on its own, using the root system in the soil as a fulcrum, and the long vines swam left and right in the nursery...

"Is this...really turning into a snake?"

William was stunned.

But he immediately became alert, gripped the baseball bat tightly, and prepared for the sawtooth vine.

In the nursery, the sawtooth vine seemed to find William after twisting for a moment.

It just pulled hard, and the roots growing in the soil were pulled out, and then the roots rolled together spontaneously. This time, the sawtooth vine really turned into the shape of a long snake.

It has no head or tail, it can also be said that there are heads on both sides.

Like a white snake with black stripes, it swam from the nursery, then jumped out and climbed onto the tile floor.

The tiles were smooth, but the sawtooth vines had extremely sharp teeth, making a sharp and piercing sound as they swam on the ground.

William slowly took a few steps back.

The scene in front of him was a bit strange. To be cautious, he planned to observe it again.

As for the wand?

He now only knows some magic spells such as floating spells. When it comes to damage and lethality, he still believes more in his extraordinary physique.

"Jaggedvine? Can you understand?"

William greeted the sawtooth vine like a human being, wanting to test whether it had intelligence and could understand words.

As soon as the sound came out, Sawtooth Vine did react.

It hovered and raised its head, if the tip of its vines could be considered a head.

Sawtooth Vine's head "looked" at William, swaying back and forth.

William was even more shocked.

"This is really alive...!"
