Admiral of Hogwarts

After racking his brains and thinking about this completely sealed metal container for a while, Hugo suddenly realized that he had reached a dead end when thinking about this.

Because he realized that this was an exam after all, and the test subjects were a group of pure newcomers who had not been exposed to alchemy for more than a year, so it was impossible to ask a question that even the most powerful wizards in history could not come up with an accurate answer to. Test them.

"In other words, in this sentence, the so-called most powerful force should be a general term, and it is a force that most people can master or understand." Hugo thought.

But after thinking hard for a few minutes, he suddenly had an idea. Then he went to the table and picked up the book list on the table to observe.

Because he suddenly thought that although he was the youngest among these contestants, the oldest among the contestants was less than 17 years old, so everyone must not be able to cover everything in terms of knowledge reserve.

Therefore, the books listed in this book list must have content related to how to open this metal container. Otherwise, the event organizers would never put these things here as decorations.

"I think your guess is right." A persistent voice sounded on the Admiral's network. "At least the first question is not too difficult for most wizards who have solidly studied alchemy knowledge for more than half a year."

"There may be many people who are unable to complete these tasks within the specified time due to slow hands or stupid brains, but for most people, this level of knowledge does not require them to look up additional information."

After realizing this, Hugo immediately analyzed the book list, and soon he found a very interesting thing from the book list.

""The Nature of Magic", why is there such a purely theoretical book in this place, and this is the kind of book I have never seen before?"

"It's not just that you haven't seen it, my dear Admiral." Buduo was stunned for a few seconds after seeing the title of the book, and then said to him through the Admiral's network, "I can guarantee that this book does not exist at all. appeared on the market.”

"What?" Upon hearing this, Hugo immediately showed a surprised expression on his face. Because he knew that Bu Fu was well-read in this field. If she hadn't read it, it meant that these books must be very rare.

"Yes, this must be a very important book. You must read it." The indomitable voice became urgent.

"If you dare to give this book such a name, you are either a lunatic or a real expert. And I don't think a lunatic's book would be put here in this kind of competition, so you must read that book."

"Understood." Hugo nodded slightly, then took out his wand and lightly tapped the name of the book. A few seconds later, with a slight crackling sound, a book appeared on the table.

The first time he saw these books, Hugo realized that he had found a treasure, because this book, from the cover to the paper inside, was all made of dragon skin, and there were obviously some special seals on it for preserving books. Alchemical power.

After spending an hour doing joint checks, Hugo finally uploaded all the contents of the book to the Admiral's network.

However, unlike what was expected, this book does not contain any detailed content about alchemy methods, but rather the results of research on the core parts of alchemy and guidance in some general directions.

"This must be something written by a certain alchemy master, or even Nico Flamel himself." Immortality said very seriously. "Because at the heart of this whole book is the idea that magic is actually a power that comes purely from the heart."

"For example, you know the art of transfiguration, right?" After seeing that his admiral felt a little confused after hearing what he said, Buduo immediately explained with an example.

"If we take away the magic, turning one thing into another thing is a very weird thing in itself, because it is completely inconsistent with the principles of physics as we know it."

"What you said makes sense." Hugo also reacted at this time. Unlike the purely materialistic world in his previous life, this world has elements of idealism. And magic is an outstanding manifestation of idealism.

For example, the spells cast by wizards all over the world often have the same effect. The spells, gestures and even tools they cast are different, and there are no rules in them.

Although alchemy seems close to a rigorous scientific experiment, in fact there are a large number of black boxes in it, and these black boxes cannot be analyzed at all.

However, if you follow the theory in the book, these technical black boxes are not actually black boxes at all, but a special manifestation of inner power that leverages reality.

"Is this the legendary feeling that the heart is better than the thing, and the spirit can soar?" Under the explanations of Bu Nao and Salem, Hugo initially understood this knowledge that was completely beyond his age.

And it was under such circumstances that Hugo realized what the words on the metal container meant.

"If magic comes from inner power, then this so-called most powerful power should refer to the power from the heart of the caster." Speaking of this, Hugo suddenly thought of something.

Throughout the original novels, Dumbledore proclaimed that love is a powerful force. There is indeed an idea to establish a correct outlook on life for Harry, but in fact it also conceals certain facts about magic.

"In other words, if you want to open this metal container, you need some kind of magic that contains your own will." Finally, Hugo finally thought of how to open this container.

"Let me think about which magic is better -" "The Death Curse, Cruciatus Curse, Soul Seizing Curse and Fire Curse are all this kind of spells." A persevering voice sounded in the Admiral's network.

"It is also for this reason that these spells are far more powerful than other spells."

"You are right, but the problem is that this is a competition." After listening to the examples given by Bu Fu, Hugo felt quite speechless.

"If I dare to use these recognized black magic, it will be a trivial matter not to win the game. I think there is a high probability that a group of Japanese law enforcement officers will rush in from the door and put me in a Japanese wizard prison to cry behind bars."

"Then we have only one way, learn the Patronus Charm." The voice of the enterprise squeezed into the admiral's network at this time. "Compared to those dangerous curses, only this one is safer."

"Are you kidding?" Hugo didn't really agree with the company's suggestion.

He admitted that he was now much better at casting spells than most of his peers, but top-level spells like summoning a patron saint were definitely not something that could be learned in the remaining four days or so.

You know, not many adults in the British wizarding community have mastered this magic.

"I'm not joking." The company said seriously.

"Of course I don't expect you to be able to summon a physical patron saint, because this is a very unrealistic idea, but it shouldn't be difficult to reach the level of summoning some silver mist."
