The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

Chapter 142 The Difference Between Imitators and Established Brands

"I don't think I need to say more, you should have already discovered that there are roughly two ways in which magic can produce effects." Riddle said.

Erwin nodded, "Locked and unlocked."

Non-locking magic is the most common. Typically, wizards use their wands to emit the rays corresponding to the spells, which must be hit before they can have an effect on the target.

The locking-type casting method is to directly trigger the magic effect on the target, without the process of emitting rays.

Obviously, locking-type magic has incomparable advantages over non-locking-type magic, but the premise is that it can be locked. Generally speaking, only when the soul and magic power are far superior to the opponent can the locking be successfully completed.

It is also because of this that Erwin chose rune guns as the main way to transform the kinetic energy-giving ability into combat power. The efficiency when acting on inanimate objects will be significantly higher than directly acting on the target.

So Lyudmila's magic power level is extremely high?Maybe even taller than Professor Twelve Trees?

Then why did she come to be an exchange student?

Erwin shook his head slightly, temporarily saving his doubts.

Being strong is not scary, what is scary is this attitude of treating life as worthless. After all, the magical societies of various countries should have not experienced war for a long time. Once they get used to peace, blood and fire seem to be out of reach. The thing is, in such a big environment, a teenage girl killed more than a dozen humanoid creatures without blinking an eye, which is indeed too abnormal.

Erwin suddenly became curious about the status of the magical society in Russia and what Kodostorez taught.

The remaining spines can still be seen in the corpses of several Pukechi goblins, which shows that the magical reactions that occur in their bodies seem to have a range limit, and those within the range will be annihilated directly, while those outside the range will only be affected.

However, it is not efficient to create such an exaggerated magic effect. Since it is possible to directly trigger magic in the pukechi goblin's body, it is only necessary to warm up their brains and make them into roasted brain flowers, and it can be achieved directly. Instant death effect, isn't this convenient, fast and much more concealed?

It seems that another inference can be made, Lyudmila may not be able to precisely control her magic...or she is extremely rich in magic power and doesn't care about the consumption of magic power at all.

"Hey, hey, Ogg, what are you doing?" Virginio's voice came suddenly.

Erwin closed his mind and looked over, feeling a wave of heat rushing towards his face, Ogg was holding his huge wand like a bat, and several corpses beside him had been engulfed by raging fire.

"Let these poor guys return to the earth." Ogg said, not understanding why the other party had such a big reaction.

"Do wizards in your hometown usually dispose of corpses like this?" Angela asked.

Ogg nodded. "Ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes," he said.

"It's really not appropriate to create a flame in this lush vegetation environment." Viktor Krum said.

Ogg scratched his head, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Erwin looked at the flames burning on the corpse, and found that it seemed to have a certain degree of self-awareness. After burning Pukeqi's corpse, it did not spread out, but curled up into a small spot and then went out.

Erwin remembered that Ogg directly introduced his nickname as Fire Rhinoceros, and now some clues can be seen in terms of Fire.

"Actually, just use the Vanishing Curse." Virginio sighed.

Everyone quickly finished the work of the scavenger. At this time, there was a rustling sound in the grass, and a gray head poked out. After seeing Erwin and the others, he made a vague threat the sound of.

Viktor threw a stun spell directly, this guy cast the spell extremely fast, the gray creature immediately fell down and passed out.

"It's the Pukechi goblins from other areas." Viktor said, "We'd better get out of here quickly, or we might be regarded as murderers."

It was a reasonable proposal, and there was no objection.

The return journey was also on Ogg’s flying carpet, but the three friends who had just met each other seemed to lose the interest they had when they came. Both Virginio and Ogg seemed to feel the pressure.

This is naturally because of Lyudmila.

Back at Ilvermorny Castle, the students here didn't know what had just happened on the outskirts, and Erwin heard a group of students from Pukage College next to them eagerly discussing what to have for dinner.

Next, is the opening dinner of this magic school.

The overall process is quite similar to Hogwarts, the first thing to do is to label the new students... oh no, it's the sorting house.

Erwin decided to watch and learn more, but it seemed that he was the only one interested. Virginio and Ogg said they would wait for him in the banquet hall.

The bearded professor leading the freshmen glanced at him, but said nothing.

As a relatively young magic school, Ilvermorny does not have a special sorting tool like the Sorting Hat, which has been passed down for an unknown amount of time, but they have their own methods.

The stiff freshmen were brought into the hall after entering the door, where there were four statues representing the four colleges.

Then the freshmen stepped forward one by one and stood in the center of the hall. When a certain statue glowed somewhere or made some actions, it meant that the student was selected.

Erwin was quite curious about its operating mechanism. The sorting hat at Hogwarts at least tortured the students' hearts, but what conditions did these statues use to determine which house a student belonged to?

It can't be a random decision.

"It should be the soul." Riddle said, prompting Erwin to look at the dark line on the floor connecting the four statues to the position where the new student was standing. "Those statues should be magic that has been imbued with soul induction."

When all the freshmen had been tagged... sorted, they were then taken to another room, with Erwin still following, keeping a polite distance.

Thousands of wands are displayed on the walls of this room.

"Now, choose your most important tool in the future." The bearded professor turned around and looked at the Ilvermorny freshmen seriously, "The wand will be your second life, not only you are picking the wand, but also the wand I'm picking you. Besides, before you graduate, you are not allowed to take the magic hand out of school during the holidays."

"It seems that the control of wands in the United States is stricter than that in the United Kingdom," Riddle said.

"It should be because they enforce more conservative secrecy laws." Erwin said, "It seems that there has been a big mess."

He looked at the wands on display, "America should not allow free market trading of wands. The wand industry is directly controlled by the magic government, otherwise there would be no place like this."

Compared to the fact that each student at Hogwarts had to spend a dozen Galleons to buy wands from Ollivander's shop, the free distribution from Ilvermorny was of a welfare nature.

"These wands are not exquisite just from the outside," Riddle said. "I don't know how they will work in practice, but it shouldn't be expected."

"This is the unavoidable problem of state-owned industries." Erwin shrugged, "After all, it is a free benefit, and there is basically no need to think about high-quality goods."

He quietly exited the room and headed for the auditorium.

The layout of the auditorium was very similar to that of Hogwarts. The four colleges sat on four long tables, and the exchange students were thoughtfully arranged at a separate table.

"This way." Big sister Angela greeted him.

Erwin walked over and sat next to him.

If you are close, you can smell the fragrance of her body, which is the breath of medicinal materials.

Riddle said she had a problem, but with Erwin's observation skills, there was nothing unusual about Angela so far.

There was still some time before the meal, and the few people began to chat. Under Erwin's intentional guidance, the content of the chat gradually changed to their respective schools.

The eldest sister, Angela, has a cheerful personality and has a gentle attitude towards everyone. Naturally, she becomes the center of the four boys.

Erwin showed a lot of interest in Beauxbaton, and Angela talked a lot about it, such as the Seine River next to the school, their headmaster, the tall Madame Maxime, and the fact that she was one year younger than her. There is a school girl with Veela blood at the top level...

Erwin had studied with Master Flamel for a while, and heard him talk about Beauxbatons, but he still didn't find anything wrong with what Angela said.

She should be Beauxbaton's seventh-grade student, and this identity is no problem.

Riddle isn't really paranoid, is he?

Angela suddenly lowered her voice, "I'm a little worried that Lyudmila might not be able to stay."

"It might be a good thing she didn't stay." Virginio shrugged.

"Although she did something wrong, I feel that she may need help..." Angela hesitated to speak.

"Sister is really kind." Ogg praised sincerely.
