Chapter 194 Sacrifice
Although he could not get the book, Principal Dumbledore did not show a frustrated expression. Instead, he joked with Robert with a smile, "Oh, it seems that this magic book does not like a bad old man like me, then, Mr. Leslie, would you like to give it a try?”
Robert secretly glanced at the principal for a long time, but didn't find any disappointed expression on his face. When he heard the other party beckoning him to come over, he ran over obediently.
It's not that I really obey Principal Dumbledore's words, but...
Can't beat it!
Rather than being lectured or even taught how to be a good person, Robert felt that it was better for him to be obedient.
Moreover……
[Name: Albus Dumbledore. 】
[Status: Normal. 】
[Introduction: The White Wizard, a highly respected white wizard in the Kingdom of Corruption, is proficient in a variety of soul magic, proficient in multiple languages (including various non-human languages), proficient in healing magic, a master of spells, a master of transfiguration, a master of alchemy, and a master of potions. . He is good at wandless and silent spellcasting, and has excellent teaching and leadership abilities. 】
[Evaluation: Extremely dangerous, non-hostile, omnivorous. 】
...I told you that there is no need for omnivorous food!
And why is there a division between proficient and master! Obviously the proficiency level you gave me is simply 1234!
I also want to be called a master, bastard!
【Love sweets, especially candies. 】
"???" Robert was dumbfounded. Could this skill be able to self-complete the database?
Well, none of that matters, at least judging from the panel, it's clearly him.
Inexplicably, I want to see Professor Quirrell's panel, maybe it will show a reminder about being possessed.
Standing in front of the book, Robert stared at the snow-white book that looked like the inside pages of a notebook, a little confused.
You told me this is a grimoire?
I don’t know much, so don’t lie to me!
Robert subconsciously looked at the beautiful book in his mind, and then at the one in front of him.
Is this just an inside page that was thrown away casually?
Principal Dumbledore didn't speak. He even turned away, leaving Robert enough personal space.
After hesitating for a moment, Robert simply imitated the actions of the principal, reached out and touched.
Hand, passed through.
"..." Speechlessly, Robert retracted his hand and stared at the pile of naughty pages. His intuition told him that this was not how they were collected.
After thinking for a while, he materialized the book in his mind, and a green book exuding the breath of life appeared in Robert's hands.
Perhaps sensing the aura of the same origin, the originally cold pages of the book were like a cat smelling a fishy smell, and got into the book with a "swish" sound.
The vines on the book seemed to live for a moment, and then withered one after another. In the end, only a few vines were left that looked very special and glowed with crystal luster.
A cold feeling flowed throughout his body, Robert couldn't help but shuddered, and then.
"Sneeze!" He sneezed loudly.
"It seems that you have succeeded, Mr. Leslie." Principal Dumbledore's gentle voice sounded, "We have to leave here quickly, and, I think, you need to go to Madam Pomfrey's for a glass of special cold medicine. …”
Robert could no longer hear what else the principal said. He only felt that he had arrived at a forest with an emerald green halo.
The slender humanoid creature jumped between the trees and walked briskly to the center of the forest, where there were some people holding tall walking sticks and some animals.
They seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony.
Ancient trees that covered the sky and sun emerged from the void, and their broad crowns exuded soft golden light. Those lights scattered on the creatures, giving them a golden color.
Robert thought this scene was just a fragment, but he didn't expect that it was just the beginning.
I don’t know how long time has passed. In short, people have been coming to hold ceremonies in front of the ancient tree, but if you look closely, you can see that there are fewer and fewer people coming.
Until only the last figure was left and came to the ancient tree, all the original green leaves had fallen off, the trunk withered, and the golden light surrounding the ancient tree dissipated.
In the end, the figure never appeared again.
Robert watched an oak tree grow from flourishing to death.
Oak trees have special significance throughout Europe. They are even a symbol of wisdom in some legends, and the mistletoe that grows on them contains magical powers.
Perhaps more people are aware of the plant mistletoe because of a certain hero who shot an arrow in the heel. In fact, even among Muggles, this plant with extremely high environmental requirements is still very valuable. medicinal materials.
In the early Celtic cultural system, the most noble ones were the druids. These people were ancient wizards. Their magic was called chanting magic. The lyrics usually started with "I pray" and the content was general. It is to pray to the gods or the forest and use your own magic power to achieve a certain purpose.
In addition, they also have a higher-level ritual. They use huge stones to pile up a circular ceremony site (Stonehenge) in the forest and offer creatures as sacrifices. The higher the level of the sacrifices, the more generous rewards they can get.
In fact, the ancient druid's spellcasting method has been lost in the Corrupt Kingdom as the war spread. The culprit is...
Caesar.
It was a very chaotic period, and the few surviving documents did retain some shadows after later exploration and development by wizards, such as plant spells and Animagus.
Yes, Animagus is actually a weakened version of Druid's animal transformation...
You must know that in the legend, a druid can perform unparalleled powers in the forest after turning into a bear. Now, if you want the Animagus to turn into a bear... well, then you may need to... first Only if you eat stronger can you transform successfully?
The disappearance of the druid heritage has to be said to be a loss to the wizarding world of the Corrupt Kingdom. After all, those magics are very suitable for survival in the wild. Whether in the forest or on the grass, Druid magic can always bring you surprises.
Of course, I am not talking so much for the sake of word count, but to better introduce the magic book that Robert got.
The magic recorded in the Grimoire is singing magic. Robert didn't think about it at first. He thought it was a ritual used by ancient wizards!
There is no doubt that wizards represent mysterious power, and such people generally serve as priests in groups. The objects they communicate with are naturally gods, and gods...
They definitely won't listen to what their believers say every day when they have nothing to do, so you have to...
Say something nice.
Words can arouse people's emotions, songs can attract people's ears, and dance can catch people's eyes.
Therefore, the whole set of sacrifices was originally just to attract the attention of the gods and make them willing to listen to these loyal believers, such as praying for rain or praying for wishes.
Therefore, sacrificial words are a language full of magic, and being able to cast magic is a matter of course.
