Chapter 90 Inspection Harvest
The entire process of making a Horcrux is very demanding, and as the number of soul divisions increases, the difficulty will increase linearly.
Most dark wizards can split their souls once, which is already the limit.
As far as Xie Lin knew, no wizard could split his body into more than two parts, not even the well-known black wizard "Despicable Haierbo", who was the first to research the method of making Horcruxes.
This is because the process of splitting the soul is extremely painful. If you want to make more than one Horcrux, the inhuman pain is enough to make the caster collapse.
Like Voldemort, splitting his soul multiple times and successfully making multiple Horcruxes, in Schelling's view, it is simply impossible.
After the soul is separated, the next step is to select a suitable Horcrux and infuse the soul into it.Although any item can be crafted into a Horcrux, the best choice is usually an immortal magical alchemy item, and then force the soul into the Horcrux with great power.
This means that even if a dark wizard is evil enough to split his soul, he still needs to obtain alchemy items that meet the Horcrux qualifications. Alchemy items of this level are the core inheritance of each family's precious life, and it is by no means easy to obtain.Not to mention that if there is no strong enough support, it is impossible for the soul to settle in the Horcrux.
The book specifically emphasizes that dark wizards must properly protect their Horcruxes.The damage to the Horcrux will affect the main soul, making the already extremely unstable main soul even more fragmented.The most direct consequence is to make the black wizard lose his mind and gradually go crazy.And his power will not be affected, on the contrary, as the soul becomes more evil, it will be more handy in using black magic.
Xie Lin's heart skipped a beat. This is not good news.
So far, he has destroyed three Horcruxes made by Voldemort, namely Tom's diary, Ravenclaw's diadem and Slytherin's locket.Destroying Voldemort's Horcrux seems to make him one step closer to death, but in fact doing so does not effectively weaken Voldemort's power, but makes him more dangerous.
Behind Horcruxes, "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts" also introduces a lot of evil black magic.For example, the evil curse "Dementor's Kiss" behind the Horcrux is based on the study of the Dementor's Kiss, directly targeting a person's soul, pulling the soul out of the body, and making him irreparable.
Further on, there are methods of refining Inferi, detailed introductions of Imperius Curse, Cruciatus Curse, Killing Curse, etc.
Schelling is not interested in refining Inferi and the Unforgivable Curse for the time being, because he, like all underage wizards, has traces planted by the Ministry of Magic on his body.
Zongsi is not set on the wand as the fan fiction on the bad street in the previous life said. Think about it, if changing a wand can solve the problem, Mad-Eye Moody has already taken Harry Apparation away in the "Battle of the Seven Harrys". Why bother, and lose a life and an ear in the end?
As far as Schelling knows, there is a mysterious alchemy item in the Prohibition of Misuse of Magic Office of the Ministry of Magic, which was handed down from the time of Merlin. The original intention of the inventor at that time was to use this item to discover children who had awakened magical power in Great Britain, hoping to rescue them as soon as possible to avoid tragedy.
Today, the role of this alchemical item has been replaced by the "Pen of Acceptance" and "Book of Admission" at Hogwarts.It is used by the Ministry of Magic for another purpose - to monitor the casting of spells by underage wizards.
The reason given by the Ministry of Magic is that monitoring whether underage wizards cast spells in front of Muggles violates the International Statute of Secrecy.But in fact, all magic within the range of the little wizard can be detected. That is to say, if Schelling casts the Cruciatus Curse with Lucius' company, it would be a scam. The first thing the Ministry of Magic suspected was that Lucius broke the law.
Of course, certain places such as Malfoy Manor were heavily shielded by magic, and even with the slightest trace of power, they couldn't be detected.But what's the use of learning these magics if they can only be used in Malfoy Manor?
What Schelling lacks most now is time, so he chooses to skip these magics that won't be needed in the short term.
The other dark art in the book that really got Schelling interested was Taboo.
In the original book, Voldemort cast a curse on his own name, and successfully used this to hunt down many members of the Order of the Phoenix.This magic can put a tracking mark on any word, and the person who speaks the word will be tracked to the location immediately.Obviously, this is a very useful tracking spell.
Therefore, the original intention of the forbidden word spell was to create an atmosphere of depression and panic, so it was also classified as black magic.But it's obviously not as eye-catching as the Infernal Corpse or the Unforgivable Curse. After all, this curse can only track and cannot directly harm, so it will not be so easy to be noticed by the Prohibited Misuse of Magic Office.
(Note: People's News Agency did not translate for Taboo, but only wrote "Taboo is set on the name", but Taboo used a capital T in the original English text, indicating that it is a magical name, and the author translated it privately as a forbidden word spell)
Schelling put down Secrets of Sophisticated Dark Arts and picked up another copy, Forbidden Metamorphosis.
This is a book that touches the forbidden realm of Transfiguration.The first page introduces many terrible and irreversible transfiguration magics. For example, the ancient Greek witch Circe liked to turn sailors who lost their way at sea and strayed into Aea by mistake into pigs; for example, the McLevor family on the island of Delia turned all hostile families into bloodthirsty five-legged beasts...
(Note: Circe is a Greek mythological figure, appearing in the chocolate frog picture)
(Note: The five-legged monster Quintaped is a five-star dangerous magical animal. It likes to eat human flesh and cannot speak. The official description is that it is covered with thick reddish-brown hair and has five club feet. In fact, it is simply a human head with five hands. It has a spider-like movement method, but is more flexible than a spider. After all, the feet are like hands and have strong magic resistance)
Scrolling down, Schelling saw a familiar spell—Transmogrifian Torture. He had seen records of people killed by this spell in the research notes Lockhart had left for him.
This is a very insidious magic, if it is not for the existence of counter-curse, it is definitely more terrifying than the Cruciatus Curse and the Killing Curse.It can create pain and pain by deforming the human body, such as acupuncture on fingertips, eyeballs, and barbed sticks on the dick, etc.
The most frightening thing is not the pain, but the moment before the pain occurs, such as the moment when the sharp needle pointed at the pupil, such as the feeling of the barbed stick gently rubbing on the dick... Not many people can bear this kind of pressure psychologically.
Unlike the Cruciatus Curse, this black magic does not require evil thoughts to exert its full power, because it is a transfiguration, not a charm.There are only two requirements for the Transfiguration Torture Curse. The first is to have a very high level of transfiguration, and the second is to have a very strong and precise control over the mind.
Schelling fully met these two conditions, and this magic seemed tailor-made for him.
Looking back, there are also various evil transfiguration techniques such as the "aging curse" that turns people into old women and grandfathers, the "quadruped beast transformation curse" that turns people into four-legged beasts, and the "corpse transformation curse" that turns people into ugly and terrifying living zombies.
Apart from being used to disgust people, these transfiguration techniques are not very practical, except perhaps for a few cruel and perverted wizards.
What really interested Xie Lin was "Stone Transfiguration", which is a magic that can turn people into stone statues. After being turned into stone statues, the subject will not die, will not grow old, and can even retain their own consciousness. They can still perceive the surrounding situation, but they cannot take any actions or actions.
This is different from the petrification effect produced by the basilisk's indirect gaze. The petrification effect of the basilisk is to make the whole body rigid, paralyzed, lose the ability to move, and lose consciousness at the same time.Apart from being unable to move, the subject has no change in appearance, as if suffering from muscular sclerosis.
The Stone Transformation Technique literally turns the subject into a stone statue from the outside to the inside. If it is not carefully checked by a skilled wizard, most people will only regard it as a statue.
What's interesting is that whether it's the petrification effect of the basilisk or the transformation of the stone statue, the cracking method is the Mandrake resurrection potion made of Mandrake.
["Forbidden Transformation" obtained! 】
In addition to these two books, Schelling once again received a big surprise in the black magic book of the Black family - it was actually "Abatel Volume [-]"!
The family spells of the Black family focus on soul-type spells, so it can be inferred that "Abatel Volume III" must correspond to the domain of soul magic.The ancestors of the Black family obtained this fragment by chance, and were able to create the core inheritance of the family. It is not an exaggeration to say that this fragment is the foundation of the Black family.
In Schelling's view, soul magic and spiritual magic have many overlaps, and if used properly, they can completely form complementary gains, achieving the effect that one plus one is greater than two.
As mentioned earlier, there are two factors that affect the growth rate of magic power: mental power and soul strength.
Xie Lin's mental strength had already reached its peak, and he looked through this book with full expectation, hoping to find inspiration to strengthen his soul in it.
["Abataier Volume [-]" obtained! 】
I don't know how many times Xie Lin felt for his extraordinary luck.
He is much luckier than Ravenclaw.Ravenclaw had to peek at Abatail all his life, and had to die with regret.
Schelling has just turned 14 now (he had just passed his birthday three weeks ago), and he has already collected three volumes of Spirit, Soul, and Curse. His future is still very long, maybe he can really fulfill Ravenclaw's last wish and collect all eight volumes.
In a blink of an eye, on June 6, the little wizards boarded the Hogwarts Express.
On the train, in Schelling's box, in addition to the usual trio, there was another Astoria.
"Brother Xie Lin, I got No.1 in the exam this semester! Is there any reward? Hehe!" Ever since Astoria kissed Xie Lin in the Dingo incident last time, Astoria seemed to let go of the girl's shyness and reserve. At this moment, she showed a mischievous expression and acted cutely towards Xie Lin.
An imperceptible light flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, but a gentle smile appeared on his mouth: "My Tolly, of course there will be rewards, don't worry, this summer vacation will definitely give you an unexpected surprise!"
Then, as if he didn't care, he asked casually: "How did the other people in your class perform?"
"Hmm..." Astoria tilted her head, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "Students from other colleges are also very strong this year. Apart from me in Slytherin, only the Carrow sisters have done well. Her sister Hestia Carrow got No.5 in the exam, and her younger sister Flora Carrow got No.6."
The Carlo family?There was an incomprehensible thought in Xie Lin's eyes.
Then, Schelling frowned, "Slytherin's performance is nothing more than that? It shouldn't be!"
Since he established his influence in Slytherin, the style of the little snakes has changed a lot—solidarity and mutual assistance, emphasis on knowledge, and respect for teachers. Moreover, Astoria has often received Schelling’s academic tutoring in private.
"Then—who are No.2 to No.4?"
"No.2 is Melinda Bobin from Ravenclaw. She is very proficient in potions and herbalism. I feel that she has far exceeded the level of the first grade. Even the second graders may not be better than her; No.1 is Gryffindor's Demelza Robbins. , but I didn’t expect to suddenly become a blockbuster in the exam and shine.”
Xie Lin suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon, the top six are all little girls!how so?Where did the little wizard go?
"There will be the Quidditch World Cup this summer!" Daphne said, "Didn't you promise that my dad would come to my house? Let's go to the World Cup together, okay? Dad can definitely get a ticket."
"Yes, yes, brother Xie Lin, let's go together!" Astoria said coquettishly.
Schelling turned to look at Meredith, who shrugged, "Since Mom and Dad passed away, the house elves and I have been the only ones left in the family. I have already promised Uncle Gareth to make the Shafik family a vassal family of Greengrass, so that the family's glory may be continued. I will spend this summer vacation at Greengrass Manor. If you can come, we can go to the World Cup together."
Schelling planned to use the time in the early part of the summer vacation to do his own things. He calculated the time, "Okay, let's do this! About a few days before the start of the World Cup, I will meet you again and go to watch the game together!"
Melinda Poppins is from the original book, she appeared in the Slug Club, and her family runs a large chain of pharmacies; Demelza Robbins is from the original book, replacing Angelina as the Chaser (when Harry was leading the team); Joanna and the Carlo sisters are invented by the author, the former is a descendant of Principal Derwent, and the latter belongs to the direct line of the Carlo family. (The Carlo sisters actually appeared in the slug club in the movie, and they are quite beautiful blonde sisters) ---Thanks to the ghost genius for the 15 recommended tickets!10 recommendation tickets for the city's public killing artists!5 Recommended Tickets from Admiral Gianna!6 recommendation tickets for Jinjue Menghan!4 recommended tickets from Tyrant Youdao!5 Recommendation Tickets for Scholar Swordsman Liu Feng!thank you all!Thank you so much!
