Chapter 40 Ancient Magic and Modern Magic

Noah heard Professor Flitwick's surprised voice, and he immediately paid attention to it.

This is what he was waiting for - he took out [Sacrificial Magic] for the two professors to study. In addition to wanting to repay Professor Flitwick, the most important thing is that he wanted to use the abilities of the two professors to check this Are there any traps in magic?

Although Professor Fudi said there was no problem with this magic, Noah didn't quite believe him - but it wasn't that he was worried about harming himself, but that Noah didn't believe in his and his family's abilities.

After all, Professor Flitwick could tell at a glance that the scroll might have something to do with Japan. Noah also discovered it after a little thought, but Professor Fukuchi and his family, which may have been passed down for thousands of years, failed to discover it for so long. .

The maker of this scroll is the despicable Hypor, so it is not an exaggeration to say that there are any traps buried there.

Moreover, if this is soul magic, it's okay to say that Noah can use the soul of the time traveler to resist.

But this is magic at the original level of magic power. What if Noah finds after using it that his magic power is not running smoothly, or there are other similar problems!

Professor Fudi's predecessors had used this magic - and Noah didn't believe them either. Professors Flitwick and McGonagall were more trustworthy than them.

Seeing that Professor McGonagall and Noah were looking at each other, Professor Flitwick did not hide anything and directly told what he had discovered:

"This magic should have been written by an ancient wizard. Judging from the scroll, it should have a history of thousands of years. And this kind of magic scroll doesn't even have any content related to ancient magic texts."

"I have collected some ancient magic. Those ancient magics are all written in ancient magic script. I just tried it in the South China Sea. My ancient magic should be [sacrifice magic] from the same period, but it doesn't. Anything that might be used in those ancient magics."

"It's adapted to modern magic - do you know what I mean!"

"The magic recorded in the scrolls from thousands of years ago is adapted to modern magic, not ancient magic - that means that the maker of this scroll may be the creator of modern magic."

Professor Flitwick was a little excited because of this surprising discovery: "The concept of this magic is that the magic of wizards comes from magical animals. If this magic is not fake, then it means that aside from talking about ancient magic, modern magic should It’s from magical beasts.”

Professor McGonagall was relatively calm. She raised her question rationally: "Modern magic has a long way to go. For example, many of the daily magic we often use are actually from various walks of life in the past few hundred years." It was accidentally created by wizards and then popularized."

"If you say that modern magic comes from magical animals, but in the creation process of the magic I just mentioned, their creators did not refer to magical animals!"

"It's because of the education they received!" Professor Flitwick answered this question quickly: "All modern wizards have experienced the education of modern magic, so when they create magic, they also use this as the basis."

"What I just said may be ambiguous. The creator of the scroll is not the creator of modern magic, but the pioneer."

Professor McGonagall thought for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded slowly: "It makes sense, but it needs to be proven."

Professor Flitwick quickly said: "Of course, I've already thought about it, I'll just come."

"This [Sacrifice Magic] initially seems to be fine. Its most dangerous result may be that the magical animal being sacrificed will lock the magic of the sacrifice object."

"This is easy to solve. Just find a magic that is not too important. I am the professor of Charms. I have the most spells, so I am the most suitable to be the experimenter."

"I have a magic spell called [Spider Web Binding], which is relatively unorthodox and its ability can be replaced, so let's use it as a test subject!"

"Professor Noah, please leave this scroll with me for now. I will study it more so that I can become more proficient. Then I will go to the Forbidden Forest to find a magical spider-like animal - this shouldn't take long. .”

Noah wanted to say that he could get an Acromantula over, but after thinking about the trouble if Hagrid found out, and that it was considered contraband in the UK, he didn't say anything.

Leaving the scroll with Professor Flitwick, Noah returned to his room after saying goodbye to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick.

"Hypor is the founder of modern magic?!" After Noah arrived at his own territory, he could no longer hide his shock. Others didn't know who the maker of the scroll was, but he knew!

The reason why he didn't dare to speak when Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were discussing just now was because he couldn't extricate himself from the shock.

You know, even the four founders of Hogwarts a thousand years ago, the magic they used is considered modern magic, so are they all disciples of Hypor!

Don't let this news be too scary.

Noah had doubted whether Professor Fudi had made a mistake. After all, he had been unreliable before.

But he also thought that [Sacrifice Magic] and [Body Seizing Magic] were created by the same person at first glance, and [Body Seizing Magic] had been confirmed by the former Marquis Simonyi to be created by Hypor, and from the magic Judging from its essence, one can tell at a glance that it has the same source of magic as the Horcrux, and the Horcrux was undoubtedly created by Hypor.

"Magic is not good or bad. What is good or bad is the person who uses magic, the wizard." Noah used this sentence repeatedly to convince himself of this setting.

After accepting this setting, and using divergent thinking, perhaps Hypor's original intention in creating modern magic was just to obtain the magical abilities of magical animals without much side effects.

Noah learned from Professor Flitwick that although ancient magic based on ancient magic texts was extremely powerful, it also had many drawbacks.

First of all, it is difficult to control. The ancient magic runes, the origin of ancient magic, are said to be symbolic runes that directly point to the original power of the world, so it is easy to lose control. The number of ancient wizards who die every year from magic backlash and out-of-control magic is definitely far more than those who die in battle. middle.

Then there's the fact that ancient magic is easily cut off.

Ancient magic is the magic formed by the reorganization and matching of ancient wizards based on ancient magic texts. Therefore, they may both be flame-type magics. Because of different creators, the ancient magic texts that make up the magic are also very different.

Therefore, when ancient wizards teach students, they cannot directly teach ancient magic to students, because the fire magic with endless dangers in the hands of the instructor, in the hands of the students, completely replicates the teacher's operations, but because of personal knowledge of ancient magic texts Depending on the understanding, the student's fire magic may only be used for cooking.

Therefore, what ancient wizards taught students was mainly to understand the ancient magic texts, and then let the students combine magic on their own.

As a result, there are many variables. [Ravenclaw Crown] has records that many magic schools formed by ancient wizards will disappear after a few decades of prosperity.

In addition to the above two points, ancient magic also has the biggest disadvantage, that is, it is extreme.

An ancient wizard who was good at fire magic and was powerful enough to crush Dumbledore, he might even have to cook for himself.

This is something that is difficult for modern wizards to imagine - ancient wizards, no matter strong or weak, whether they are underage wizards or legendary wizards, the magic they mastered is very limited.

As for the reason, of course it is because of the two points just mentioned.

According to the records in [Ravenclaw Diadem], powerful ancient wizards usually brought many apprentices and servants with them to serve them in their daily lives. Therefore, the reason why many powerful ancient wizards died was because of their ridiculous servants. poison.

So Noah guessed that Hypor might have created modern magic from magical animals because he was not satisfied with the limitations and shortcomings of ancient magic.

Originally, Hypor should have just wanted to create modern magic for his own use. Later, either because of his defeat or because of the betrayal of his apprentice, the modern magic he developed became known to the outside world and was learned.

Perhaps it is precisely because modern magic was created by Hypor, and those wizards are not ashamed of this, so they hide the history - the process of wizards abandoning ancient magic and choosing modern magic is very vaguely recorded in the history of wizards. And the early users of modern magic were all powerful ancient wizards who were good at ancient magic, such as the four founders of Hogwarts. Therefore, everyone defaulted to the belief that modern magic was the collective innovation wealth of all ancient wizards during that period.

"However, the inability to accept that Hypor can use modern magic is also related to a certain degree of prejudice. In the eyes of most wizards, modern magic is much weaker than ancient magic, such as the despicable Hypor. The ancient Dark Lord should have used super powerful and super evil ancient magic."

"This situation also makes sense for Dumbledore and Grindelwald. Many wizards still think that these two legendary wizards use all ancient magic. In their view, Grindelwald's [Fire] And the upgraded version of [Fire Shield], as well as Dumbledore's [Transfiguration] and the upgraded version of [Vulcan Opens the Way], these are all ancient magics."

"But, in fact, it is not wizards who are powerful, but magic. Although Dumbledore and Grindelwald use modern magic, their strength is definitely not inferior to that of ancient wizards. Even among ancient wizards, their strength is considered the best. .”

"Dumbledore can be named the greatest principal of Hogwarts. This may be due to his achievements, but in the final analysis it is his strength - even if the four founders are resurrected, Dumbledore will not necessarily lose. Only one of them can bear the title of the greatest principal."
