I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - #188 - Chapter 188 Ancient Magic

In the silent night, Ian sat at his desk, with a look of longing in his eyes. Under the candlelight, he wrote on the parchment with a concentrated expression. At this moment, this dormitory seemed to be far away from all the hustle and bustle of the world.

“I’m just naive…this academy plan is a bit whimsical.”

Ian closed the book with a wry smile. Ancient magic texts were not as simple as he thought, and he also discovered a fatal problem. Some magic texts can temporarily store magic power, but where does the magic power come from…

He didn’t want to be a generator-like being who couldn’t solve the source of magic power and couldn’t popularize the application of magic text. But… he is still unwilling to give up the study of magic texts, because this subject has opened a new door for him.

Ancient magic.

This is something that Ian has always ignored. It is true that modern magic is very convenient, but this does not mean that ancient magic has no merits.

Especially those ancient magics that are as powerful as natural disasters. If placed in the end of the world, they will be a big killer. They are 100% the Sword of Damocles hanging above their heads. And this kind of power is also what he lacks.

A powerful deterrent can be used but cannot be used without it. Before, Ian wanted to find a chance to show off his muscles. At that time, he planned to use magic like fire, but now it seems that ancient magic is more suitable.

“There’s still a long way to go!” Ian sighed tiredly.

He couldn’t even scratch the surface of the complexity of magic texts and the difficulty of working backwards on ancient magic. He spent an entire afternoon reading attentively.

…

Half a month passed by in a flash.

During this period of time, apart from taking time to date Hermione, he devoted all his remaining energy to studying ancient magic texts, and the effort was equally proportional to the return.

“Lumos!”

A pebble-sized ball of light immediately appeared at the top of Ian’s wand, which was gentle and healing. But if you look closely at its core, you can see that there is a magical pattern engraved on the innermost side of the light ball.

His only gain in the past half month was the ancient magic deduction of the lighting spell. Its root is also the representative magic text – light.

The ancient ancestors’ primitive fear of darkness also made “Light” one of the earliest magic texts to appear.

At this moment, the lighting spell that Ian released based on the magic text was no longer a traditional lighting spell. It combined healing, dispersing, inspiring, etc., which were a variety of attributes expected by people in ancient times.

The most important point is that there is no upper limit to ancient magic…

Yes, at this moment, he had a feeling that if he released this lighting spell with all his strength, not to mention lighting up Hogwarts, half of England would be able to turn from night to day in an instant.

But he quickly extinguished this childish thought. He showed off that it was really pointless and gained the approval of some professors and the admiration of other young wizards. Stop it… Lions never show off their prowess in a herd of antelopes.

“The increase of magic power to the magic spell is most vividly reflected in ancient magic…” After extinguishing the lighting spell, Ian also felt a little emotional in his heart.

Magic amplification is also mentioned in the original book. Mad-Eye Moody once said that with the little wizard’s pitiful magic power, releasing the Death Curse would only cause him to have a nosebleed at most.

Although Ian also verified the authenticity of this in the later period, it is still not as shocking as the ancient magic at this moment. It is just how powerful you can unleash…

Thinking of this, another thing quietly emerged in his mind.

“The Elder Wand…”

It was also an amplification spell, but the amplification principle of the Elder Wand interested him very much. But this thing is in Dumbledore’s hands, and he has no intention of asking for it. Although he can ask for it, there is no need to open his mouth. Blindly asking for it is not a long-term solution, it is just waiting for a few more years.

With the magic stone full of vitality, the thing he is least afraid of now is time.

Not only the Elder Wand, but also the Three Deathly Hallows, he was very interested in it. Especially in this experience, the Resurrection Stone played a crucial factor.

Thinking of this, Ian couldn’t help but look down at his left index finger. On the skin at the second joint of the index finger, a dark mark was clearly visible. This is the place where he once wore Gaunt’s ring. After his rebirth in Nirvana, the ring magically disappeared, leaving only this tattoo-like mark.

He also asked Dumbledore about this, but it seemed that the old headmaster couldn’t explain it. After a detailed inspection, he told him that the mark was harmless.

After gathering his divergent thoughts, Ian took out his pocket watch. After confirming that it was already past dinner serving time, he planned to go to the kitchen to finish dinner.

Going to the kitchen to eat is also a walk and a pastime. It is always right to combine work and rest.

Three pies, a piece of cheese, and a jug of pumpkin juice were all Ian had for dinner. During this period, he also met two Hufflepuffs who sneaked out to give him extra food, but he just pretended not to see them.

After he ate in a hurry, he returned to his dormitory to sleep. It seems like there are no classes every day, but it is more fulfilling than attending classes. In the morning, I borrow books from the library, take them back to the dormitory to study, and have extra meals in the kitchen in the evening.

This is true every day.

…

Ian’s life is quiet and simple, but there is one person who is very proud of himself.

Gerald Lockhart knew his chance had come when he received Dumbledore’s invitation. Although the novel brought him a high reputation, he knew clearly that the fame was short-lived and illusory.

He must have real experience in order to convert fame into substantial prestige. Becoming a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts is the most ideal way. He is a professor at the only magic school in the British Isles. This status is enough to bring him countless hidden benefits.

“What do you know… ha!” Lockhart couldn’t help but think of how old Magna strongly opposed the use of his own books as teaching materials when the teaching materials were determined before the start of school.

He didn’t care about those things. Even if he gave money, he still needed the status of a Hogwarts professor.

Especially the book “Rosen’s Fantastic Journey” published this year. Although the author is a little-known newcomer, he has never even heard of the funny pen name.

But the terrifying sales volume and continued stamina of that book made him a little afraid, fearing that he would be surpassed and then forgotten… So even if there were rumors that this position was cursed, he still accepted the invitation willingly.

But as Dumbledore said, rumors are just rumors. He has been here for three weeks and has never felt the presence of any curse. As for his feelings… he only received warm hospitality from the seventh-grade school girls, but that was all. He didn’t dare to do anything beyond his status.

Lockhart knew very well that this was not romantic France. In the traditional and staid British territory, once the teacher-student relationship was exposed, he would never have a foothold here.
