"You're named after your birthplace?" Harry was taken aback for a moment, "So you really are an extremely powerful wizard?"
"Of course, at least the information on the card is correct except for the one about living in ancient Greece~"
Shu Ling's tone at the moment really sounded like Versailles, but Harry didn't dare to complain at all!
A wizard who can summon a super patron saint without a stick, and who is dubbed "invincible" and "hometown"... One can imagine what kind of beautiful figure the book spirit must have been during his lifetime.
But in this way, there is another problem.
"Shu Ling, I don't understand... Since you are so famous, why did the chocolate frog card get your origin wrong?"
Harry was quite puzzled by this. The Chocolate Frog Card could confuse Andros's active time by hundreds of years. This difference is too outrageous~
"The history of wizards has always been like this. Although our lifespan may be longer than that of ordinary humans, wizards have performed poorly in recording historical facts."
After a short pause, the book spirit's tone became a bit playful: "Don't you Hogwarts also have a history of spreading rumors? Merlin, the greatest wizard in the legend, was sorted into Slytherin House, and he also received Sassah. Racha Slytherin's guidance... If Merlin really lived to see your Hogwarts school established and heard the news with his own eyes, do you think he would blow up the entire castle with a spell?"
Harry: (°ー°〃)
Well, since Andros has said that, then the history of Merlin and King Arthur that has been circulated in the British magic world can be confirmed to be false.
Just to put it bluntly, Harry clearly remembers that the legend of King Arthur and Merlin was about the fifth century A.D., 500 years earlier than Hogwarts was founded~
"Many wizards' histories are not true, because only authoritative wizards or ghosts can pass down history, but their emotions and personalities are affected by their own profound magic power, and it is easy to freely play freely when oral history." Shu Ling continued, "Take me as an example. The reason why my story was misrepresented as taking place in ancient Greece is probably because...the person who killed me happened to be active in ancient Greece."
"Wait... the wizard who killed you was an ancient Greek, doesn't that mean?" Thinking of some possibility, Harry's eyes widened instantly.
"Well, it's a Horcrux..." Shu Ling sighed softly, affirming Harry's conjecture, "I think he should be the first person to create a Horcrux since ancient times. It has been around since ancient Greece... oh yes, he is also a born Parseltongue, and he knows the same thing... no, it should be said that he discovered the method of hatching basilisks! How, is this person the same as Does the guy you're dealing with look alike?"
"It's quite similar..."
Harry nodded silently, but his heart was about to scold.
Please, why are all the old monsters I met thousands of years ago?
Voldemort was completely sidetracked by the spirit of Salazar, and as a result, the book spirit pulled out an ancient Greek Horcrux ancestor... Is there no modern, slightly normal villain in this world who can make me Come step on it?
Thinking of this, Harry felt a deep sense of exhaustion. He just wanted to say to the sky: Hogwarts and the wizarding world...
so safe~
"The reason why it is very similar is because that guy can almost be called the ancestor of the black wizard. Compared with the so-called black magic in modern times, the power he possesses is undoubtedly much more dangerous."
Shu Ling didn't notice Harry's mental activities, and was still thinking about it on his own: "I was conceited at the time, and after hearing the other party's legend, I was full of confidence and wanted to kill him, but the result was …I don’t even know how I died! When I regain consciousness as the spirit of this book, I will already be stored in the restricted section of your Hogwarts library. There is only pain from the soul... I don't even know if I died at the hands of that person!"
"Andros..."
At this moment, Harry, who had practiced the method of controlling emotions under the guidance of Shu Ling, truly felt the unspeakable sadness in the other party's heart.
Bizarre and tragic death, the soul is missing, but the only conscious spirit is exiled in a foreign land, accompanied by pain all day long...
"Hey, who was the wizard who killed you, and where was the place where he was said to have appeared?" Suddenly, a calm but confident smile appeared on Harry's face.
"Tell me all of these, and I'll help you find the rest~"
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"Harry, you..."
The book spirit choked up suddenly. The reason why it had so many detours with Harry before was that it was always undecided whether to ask Harry or not, but it never thought that the latter would agree to it directly.
"Didn't you also say before that I need as many redeemed souls as possible to finally defeat Voldemort in the fight for the body? Of course your soul is also included in my redemption." Harry smiled lightly, his face There was no worry at all on the face, "So, you should do me a favor~"
Of course, Harry is well aware of the difficulty of helping Shuling redeem his soul. Not only does he have to go to a foreign country to explore, but he also has to meet that old monster who lives forever with the help of a horcrux...
But Harry decided to say yes anyway.
In the past half a year, he has learned many useful things from Shu Ling, and has saved himself from danger several times with the help of these powers.
So even though Harry knew that the book spirit must have something in the end, he was always grateful to it.
Now that all the mysteries have been revealed, the book spirit is not a sinister and cunning villain, but a strong man who is respected in the name of his hometown; and what it needs Harry to do is not something grandiose like sacrificing himself and saving the world , I just want to redeem my soul.
"The grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by the fountain", this is not only the attention of the Chinese dynasty, but also has a similar proverb in England. If Harry was only afraid of that unknown dark wizard, he would not dare to lend a helping hand to the book spirit , then he is a little too selfish and too useless!
"I knew that you kid would not leave it alone... That wizard is called Haierbo, and he is a very evil existence. I just got the legend that he appeared in the Aegean Sea, and I was worried that he would threaten my hometown Therefore, I promised everyone on the island to wipe him out completely. But not long after I sailed, I died strangely at sea..."
Speaking of the past, Shu Ling's tone was grateful, but gradually choked up: "Harry, I actually don't know whether the legends back then are true, so I don't want you to take the risk of avenging me... I just want to ask you to help me find the lost soul, and then take him and the book I possessed, and go back to my hometown, Andros Island, is that okay..."
"Of course it's ok, isn't it just a trip to the Aegean Sea, there's no problem at all~" Harry nodded cheerfully, "But let's agree in advance, you know I'm very busy, so I won't rush there right away .And if I feel something is wrong with it, I will definitely go back as soon as possible.”
"I'm afraid you won't say that~" Knowing that Harry was comforting himself, Shu Ling's tone became a little more appreciative, "I've been waiting for so long, and I don't care if I wait a few more years or ten years Anyway, thank you."
"Where, I should thank you in advance." The smile on Harry's face suddenly became wicked, "You are so good at casting spells without a wand, why don't you hurry up and give me some pointers?"
When he was studying Shuling's 'deviant' theory of releasing magic power before, Harry had thought that Shuling might be a master at casting spells without a wand.
But now it turns out that he is not only a master, but also a world-renowned strongman who can cast spells without a stick. For Harry, this is simply a big pie from heaven.
He had just suffered from Voldemort's inability to cast spells without a stick, so it is conceivable that in the future he must study hard and work tirelessly, so he must master the ability to cast spells without a stick as soon as possible!
...
Since Harry agreed to the Andros Spirit's request after a lot of deliberation (in fact, a flash of his brain), time slipped away in a busy way for many days.
These days, in addition to the little things in school, Harry has more tasks to discuss with the book spirit about the way of soul salvation, and to start learning to cast spells without a stick. It can be said that every day is full like a hard-pressed online article. Like a writer, if you don’t pay attention, you will get bald~
After carefully researching some knowledge about life debt with the other party, Harry has a general understanding of what to do to redeem a soul.
Souls, of course, mainly refer to ghosts, because they have already died, so as long as they can find a way to untie their knots before they die, it is considered to have redeemed their souls and concluded a destiny with them. debt.
So Myrtle is just one example. Those souls lingering in the world need real comfort from the heart. Not every ghost wants to take revenge.
Therefore, after some analysis by Harry, he positioned his redemption goals on several ghosts in Hogwarts.
The first to bear the brunt are naturally Ravenclaw's ghost, Ms. Gray, and Slytherin's ghost, Bloody Baron. The former has regrets because of the crown, and the latter has regrets because of the former. Crowe's crown may be able to untie the knots of these two ghosts at the same time.
Of course, if he did this, Harry might not be able to keep the crown that could increase his wisdom, so he decided to wait and see for a while.
And the other one, which is also the most important goal of redemption that Harry thinks, is Sir Nick, the ghost of Gryffindor.
Nick's heart knot is actually easier to guess, it is nothing more than a piece of skin left on his neck after beheading, making him forced to become "Almost Headless Nick" instead of the more prestigious "Headless Sir Nick".
So Harry still needs to do some research to see what exactly it takes to change the shape of a ghost when it dies.
It stands to reason that since the ghosts can be affected by the sight of the basilisk, it means that there are still some spells that can have an effect on them. Maybe Harry can find some way to completely cut off the layer of skin on his neck~
Of course, the main reason why Harry felt that Sir Nick was so important was his social circle.
Nick has an extremely large ghost network behind him. His "ghost" relationship among ghosts is very good, which can be seen from the guests at his death party.
If Nick is willing to help Harry introduce, then this will definitely be a huge wave of life-debt resources!
The book spirit once told Harry that every ghost must have knots in his heart, because the ghost itself is the way of retreat chosen by wizards who cannot face death calmly when they die.
Therefore, the reason why ghosts become ghosts is not simply because they are timid and dare not go to another world to start again. To a large extent, they are nostalgic for the world because of the regret in their hearts.
Therefore, if Harry can really comfort the souls of the ghosts, he can even develop it into a special business with the help of the 'customer resources' behind Sir Nick.
If this is the case, not only will he be able to conclude more life debts to deal with Voldemort's soul, but he may also get some other gifts, so why not do it~
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
"Vadi Vasi!" *N
The Defense Against the Dark Arts course in late March has been changed from the classroom to the grass field that should be used for Quidditch, but the little wizards in the first grade still learn to cast spells...
In addition, there is extra physical training before each class.
Running circles around the arena is a must, complaining is not acceptable, and being left behind is even more unacceptable... Unless a little wizard wants to be hit all over the head by Harry behind him with marbles~
Since Harry took over the black defense course of the first grade, this group of little wizards have been "wadiwasi" for almost a month, but Harry always only let them repeat the exercise, and refused to teach new spells at all. It was their use of spells that did not meet Harry's requirements.
The process of learning magic is actually not pleasant, on the contrary, it is very boring. Harry's requirement for himself is to be versatile, but for these fledgling first graders, he strictly forbids them to chew too much.
It is useless to explain other spells to them now, it will only make everything commonplace for them, it is better to focus on one and improve it first.
What's more, the launch spell is a compound spell, and a month of hard work and practice won't just result in more accurate shooting.
At least some bright students, such as Luna, have found that their knockback and levitation spells have made great progress at the same time.
And in the process of teaching them, Harry himself was actually re-practicing the Launch Charm, but his practice method was much more eye-catching.
Point your index finger at the marble in front of you, wrap the marble with a layer of transparent water curtain, then slowly raise your arm to make the marble float in front of you, and then suddenly fire like a shot!
Snapped!
The crystal clear marbles flew out suddenly, crossed a distance of [-] meters at an extremely fast speed, accurately penetrated the center of the target board erected on the sidelines of the field, and splashed a few clear water splashes at the same time.
This move stunned all the first graders present.
"Harry, you...you didn't use your wand just now?" Little fan Colin is absolutely shocked and annoyed now. The idol just performed magic without a wand in front of his eyes, but he actually forgot to pick up his camera? !
"How did you do it?" Luna's eyes flickered twice in confusion. She maintained a nonchalant attitude towards many things, but Harry always surprised her time and time again.
"It's just a trick, it's not really cast without a wand." Harry waved his hand indifferently, signaling the young wizards watching to leave.
He was indeed opportunistic. Casting spells without a wand was much more difficult than he had imagined. Even cheating with the help of Ravenclaw's crown, Harry was still unable to get a glimpse of the door. It can only be said that this advanced spellcasting technique It was a bit too hasty for him.
So Harry thought of a way. First, he wrapped the marble with water flow, and then indirectly controlled the marble by controlling the water element. Finally, he successfully cast the water gun version of the launch spell just now.
Of course, his behavior was also despised by Shu Ling without any suspense. After all, this method will not work if you just change the spell.
However, Shu Ling still provided him with some valuable suggestions, such as incorporating water elements into certain spells, and perhaps he could successfully cast them without a wand like the water gun and launch spell.
Harry took a closer look, and found that the book spirit was actually asking him to use the elemental magic of the water creation system based on the existing magic system, so he decisively suspended this task.
Are you kidding me, I really thought Harry was Merlin's younger brother, he could learn all kinds of messy things at once~
"Okay, that's all for today's class. I wish you a happy Easter holiday, and when the school starts again, let's learn something new."
"Okay~" *N
Harry's decision caused the first graders on the playground to cheer at the same time, but he shook his head with a smile and left alone.
Laugh, when the final exams come in ten weeks, you won’t be able to laugh anymore, hehehe~
...
The Easter holiday is the second long holiday in each school year. It usually lasts from the end of March to the middle and late April, and the total length is half a month to 20 days, which is similar to the Christmas holiday.
But for the vast majority of students, the Easter holiday is far less interesting than Christmas. The reason is naturally the piles of homework and the ensuing final exams.
Second-year students such as Harry and Hermione have another thing to consider during the Easter holidays, and that is the elective courses that start in the third grade.
Divination, Arithmetic Divination, Ancient Runes, Protection of Magical Animals, and Study of Common People... Among these five courses, third-grade students need to choose at least two to study.
Therefore, the third grade of Hogwarts is actually the same as the waist down period of the second year of junior high school. Not only the original main subjects will become more difficult, but also the same difficult electives will be added. Said quite onerous.
Coupled with the secondary illness that students generally start to suffer from, if it collapses during this period, it will be very difficult to get back up later.
"So choosing courses will definitely affect our entire future!"
Obviously, Hermione attaches great importance to this course selection, and she has been studying it alone for several days.
Only Harry didn't think so.
The future he can see at present, the first is the schoolmaster girl in front of him, and the second is Voldemort in his mind... So which of these two 'futures' can be affected by elective courses?
"Hey, have you decided which course to choose?" Just as Harry was leisurely admiring the girl's profile, Hermione suddenly threw the course list in front of Harry.
"Elective courses... Ancient Runes and Protection of Fantastic Beasts." Harry roughly decided on his new courses without much thought.
He had studied Old English with Hermione for so long before, relying on those twisted words and grammar to cope with ancient runes, it was considered practical.
Moreover, the water element that Harry has mastered is a power that modern wizards are incompatible with, so he has been wondering whether there was a system of elemental magic in ancient times.
To resolve these questions, it may be helpful to study ancient runes.
As for the other one, it is purely to use its own strengths.
If Harry takes a class on the protection of magical animals, not only can he be a student, but he can even sponsor all kinds of 'teaching aids'.
As long as Professor Keilbert dares to speak, he will give you one of them~
"No way, there are only two doors?"
It's just that Hermione seems a little...disapproving of Harry's choice?
"Only two?" Harry looked at Hermione speechlessly, "What's the matter, don't you think there are too few?"
