Chapter 76 War Magic
(After Dumbledore erased the image that appeared due to the flashback spell)
There was a long silence.
Snape seemed to have exhausted all his strength to say the conclusion he had already made clear in his mind.
"The mysterious man has arrived at Hogwarts!"
"I'm afraid so, Severus!"
Dumbledore affirmed Snape's conclusion.
"You have to kick Quirrell out of school..." Snape said word by word.
McGuffin could hear his earnestness.
"Snape, no, that's not the case. We can't expel a professor from the school just by guessing for no reason. Moreover, for a dark wizard like Voldemort who is powerful in mana and has a deep understanding of magic, he has ten thousand ways to make a comeback. It's just a matter of time... So it's better to take this opportunity to understand how to kill Voldemort fundamentally..."
"Dumbledore, don't you?"
McGuffin knew that Snape must be thinking exactly the same as himself now - ha!You have revealed your true colors, you old bastard!
"What's more, you can't expose it now, at least not now... Voldemort is now deliberately showing the effect of this magic burst, perhaps to test you..." Dumbledore said.
"Testing me... is it testing my loyalty?" Snape was genuinely impatient with the subject, and it was a waste of time.
"No, people like Voldemort—he doesn't care what you think, and he doesn't trust anyone. He's just testing whether you've betrayed him, telling him about it, and seeing if you can be useful in the future..."
"In the future..." Snape sneered coldly.
"Speaking of the future, maybe Voldemort discovered something we didn't know about. According to Hermione and Ron's description, the troll itself had completely fallen and then suddenly stood up and went berserk... It seems that he wanted to test something..." Dumbledore changed the subject and asked what Snape encountered on the second floor besides the troll, making him so embarrassed.
Snape described the troll flying over in that posture in a bit of embarrassment (this made Dumbledore chuckle a few times), he explained that the magic power contained in the spell itself was very powerful, and the spell was unknown, so it was impossible to decipher it in a targeted manner.
"This is not the magical power that can be contained in those four little wizards... It is too powerful, even if I have to be difficult to block it head-on!"
McGuffin listened to the two talking about himself, his heart tightened, and he quickly pricked up his ears to listen.
"Severus, this is the second thing I want to discuss with you tonight—this spell was indeed cast by four little wizards, and it's just a simple [Levitation Curse]."
"how can that be……"
"That's the truth, whether it's from the little wizard's mouth, or from other sources, it all points to another unbelievable answer...Look at this..."
(Dumbledore did not know where to take out the long and narrow box, which contained the wands of four little wizards on the left and right layers respectively)
"What are you looking at?" McGuffin said anxiously, eager to know what they were looking at.
Fortunately, Snape answered his question right away.
"Isn't this the wand you put away Harry's four little wizards? What do you want me to know?"
"Try to pick up one of those wands, Snape!" said Dumbledore.
(Snape obeyed and took one of the wands into his hand.)
——Thunderbolt.
McGuffin's eyes flashed, and he heard a sound like an electric current rushing through, but the sound was much smaller.
(Snape undoubtedly felt it more clearly. He clearly saw that the wand in his hand was connected with the remaining three wands in the box by a thin beam of light, like lightning, and the color was golden with a little silvery white. - The four wands vibrated and were connected by a thin beam of light. Finally, Dumbledore snatched it from his hand and put it into the box, and all this disappeared.)
"What the hell does that mean?"
"Do you know the history of Ollivander's wand shop?" Dumbledore did not respond to Snape, but asked another question.
Without waiting for an answer, he continued to preach by himself
——Ollivander's wand shop arrived here with the Romans from the Mediterranean countries.
"Do you know how the Wizards Union in the Roman era accompanied their empire and almost ruled the entire European continent?"
Without waiting for Snape to answer, Dumbledore continued, his tone full of references to wizards of that era
"War magic, war magic in the true sense! It's not a small group gathered by Voldemort or Grindelwald relying on fear or a set of nonsensical theories, but a real magic army in a national sense. It was the only spellcasting method that truly used magic in war in Europe at that time, and perhaps until now..."
"From ancient times to the present, every careerist in the magic world has been tirelessly pursuing a sharp weapon!"
"My God!" Snape was blown away by the news.
"You mean... but... didn't that disappear into history with the end of the Roman era?" He stammered about the current mainstream theory circulating in the magic world.
Today's messy, indistinguishable news came one after another, causing Snape's head to panic with pain, which almost overwhelmed the real pain in his leg.
"Has it really disappeared? The Department of Mysteries of the British Ministry of Magic has actually kept some records of court mages practicing magic in the ancient Roman Empire. Maybe even Voldemort or Grindelwald know the general principle..."
Dumbledore explained to Snape the secret knowledge he knew in detail-in the ancient Roman era, the official war magic casting required at least multiple wizards to link magic power, and they used the same kind of wand (same core, same wand body).
——And it was the Ollivander family who made wands for the Roman Magic Legion.
The wizard group cultivated in this way is the magic legion. When they are together, even an ordinary harmless spell can be so powerful that it can almost slay a dragon.
"You know that we need dozens of adult wizards to cast a stun spell together to subdue a dragon. With the superposition of the spells, they can barely penetrate the dragon's skin. But in the hands of the Magic Legion, what they cast is just one spell. (Multiple spells are combined into one spell with a leader, even if it is a simple spell.) The power of this spell is unstoppable, and it can easily tear an adult dragon into several pieces."
Snape thought of the blue light covering his body when he blocked the troll, and the invincible feeling this magic gave him.
(Unbeknownst to McGuffin, Dumbledore looked at the McGuffin lying on the other side and continued.)
"It seems that these little wizards did hit by mistake."
"Snape, you know that the decline of ancient magic is not because it is not powerful enough, but compared to modern magic, they are more powerful and more suitable for the era of the jungle. It's just that they don't adapt to our current method of casting spells. To put it another way...we can no longer learn this method of casting war magic..."
"Then how do you say they cast - war magic?" Snape asked.
"Didn't you see it!——The most critical manifestation of war magic is that wizards will connect their wands together after casting spells, and according to ancient books, after casting spells, they will fall into magic power exhaustion. In that era, it usually takes more than half a month to recover. Of course, this is also one of the reasons for the decline of war magic. But after solving the difficult factors of casting spells, this magic has become a 'Sorcerer's Stone'-like eye of the storm..."
Dumbledore sighed.
He remembered that when Mailer created the Sorcerer's Stone through alchemy, or restored the legendary Philosopher's Stone, the Essence of God, how many bloody storms had been secretly set off in the European continent. Until Mailer faked his death and even announced the production method of the Sorcerer's Stone, most people did not fade away until they could not do it.
"This...how can they do it, so many people can't do it."
"Yeah! How did they do it! Maybe only when they wake up and can cast spells do they figure it out."
"Dumbledore, are you saying that Voldemort already knew about this and that's why the troll tested them?"
"I hope it's not like that, otherwise he will definitely not let these little wizards go... And not only Voldemort, but also the Ministry of Magic, careerists from other countries, once these people know... these little wizards, I'm afraid..."
The MacGuffin itself was very pleasant to hear.
Thinking that labor and capital are so awesome?
Can you actually use such an explosive war magic?
But what the hell was listening to it—it was discovered that this was a prehistoric giant pit.
