Rubik’s Cube of Heavens

In the afternoon, after the Charms get out of class was over, Kewen, who added five points to Gryffindor again, did not leave the classroom immediately.

Coming to the desk, Kewen politely asked Professor Flitwick, who was standing behind the desk above a stack of books, "Professor, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course, of course." Professor Flitwick stopped tidying up the textbooks and said enthusiastically, "Little Kewen, what's wrong with you, a genius?"

"I'm not a genius." Kewen quickly denied it, and then said, "It's such a professor, I found that most of the spells follow the same rule."

"What's the rule?" Professor Flitwick did not wait for Kewen to finish speaking, and immediately interjected, with expressions of joy, surprise, and anticipation on his face, and his expression changed very quickly.

Cowen of course noticed the change in Professor Flitwick's face, but now is not the time to care about those, so he continued: "I found most of...I mean these spells that I know now."

"Most of these spells, although they appear to be one word, are composed of one part Old Latin and another part Old English."

"Go on! Go on!" Professor Flitwick was even more excited, his eyes were almost shining, his hands were on the podium, his upper body leaned forward, and his tone urged expectantly.

"Well...that's it." Kewen didn't understand why Professor Flitwick was so excited, and continued: "In my generalization, the ancient Latin part of these spells is responsible for triggering the magical effect, while the ancient English part is responsible for triggering magical effects. part, it triggers the control effect of magic."

"Go on!" Professor Flitwick urged again, moving his fingers with excitement.

"Let's take the floating spell as an analogy." Kewen nodded slightly and continued: "The first half of the spell is read in Old English, which means raising the commander, and the second half is in ancient Latin, symbolizing the concept of floating. . Together, they direct the object to float."

"The same is true for other spells, such as the Flying Spell. The whole spell is the concept of 'Flying' in ancient Latin, plus the specified items in English, and the combination is a complete Flying Spell."

"Genius!" Professor Flitwick suddenly exclaimed in admiration, startling Kewen.

"Genius! Little Kewen, you are truly a genius!" Professor Flitwick was so excited that he calmed down a little after a long time, and said to Kewen: "You're right, most of the spells are indeed like this, but there are other combinations. , not only in Old English and Old Latin, but in other ancient languages ​​as well."

"Ancient Dongba, ancient Chinese, ancient Egyptian, ancient Maya, ancient Atlantis, etc., etc., etc.!" Professor Flitwick sighed: "All ancient scripts have magic power! Magic spell! Magic Curse! The essence is the power of language!"

"It's a pity..." Professor Flitwick sighed when he said this: "After thousands of years, many ancient texts have been lost. Even if the writing method is obtained, the correct reading method is still unknown. Old languages, only runes are left. Of course, I highly recommend you take this course in third grade."

"I will take electives." Kewen confirmed, and then asked: "Then professor, so, can I develop some magic spells by myself according to this law?"

"Development spells?" Professor Flitwick was surprised.

"That's right. For example, I inspired the concept of 'frost' in ancient Latin." Cowan said metaphorically: "And then use English to impose manipulation on the concept, such as the word burst."

"Oh no! Absolutely not!" Professor Flitwick immediately exclaimed, startling Kewen again.

"What?" Kewen asked in surprise and puzzled.

"Don't! Listen to Xiao Kewen! Don't randomly experiment and develop magic spells!" Professor Flitwick exhorted loudly and solemnly.

"Okay professor." Seeing this, Kewen agreed first no matter what, slightly appease Professor Flitwick's excitement, and then said: "I have no idea of ​​developing experiments privately, so I came to ask you for advice. "

"Very good little Kewen! Your approach is very correct!" Professor Flitwick praised, and then said with some fear: "As I said just now, the spell is the power of language, and the right language inspires the right power, and wrong language..."

After a pause, Professor Flitwick continued, "Let me use the 'floating spell' you just mentioned as an analogy."

"In the floating spell, if the pronunciation of S is changed to F, then it will not be a floating spell, it will become an indeterminate spell! Many people have chanted this spell incorrectly. The one with the lightest backlash was smashed by the suddenly appearing old cow, smashing the ribs and internal organs!"

"Therefore, little Kewen!" Professor Flitwick urged solemnly, "Never try to experiment with spells by yourself. Even if you read the spell correctly, even if the pitch is different, you will be miserable. Expected consequences!"

"Okay, I will keep your teaching in mind." Kewen said obediently.

"Very good! Very good little Kewen!" Professor Flitwick finally showed his smile again, tried to lean over from behind the podium, raised his hand and patted Kewen on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, you are a genius! I think I can Twenty points for Gryffindor for your question!"

"Thank you, Professor Flitwick." Kewen said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you for your compliment, and thank you for your extra points."

"It's a pity." Professor Flitwick retracted, shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity why did you go to Gryffindor?"

"I..." Kewen was a little embarrassed.

"Needless to say, I know." Professor Flitwick smiled interestingly: "After the sorting, I deliberately asked the Sorting Hat. After all, we all thought you would come to Ravenclaw."

When Professor Flitwick said this, he was a little helpless, but he couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect you to ask to go to Gryffindor because you like to save trouble."

"Uh this..." Kewen was embarrassed.

"You don't know." Professor Flitwick said amusingly, "How long did your Professor McGonagall silently show off in front of us after that?"

"If you can change the college..." Kewen said tentatively: "I want to go to your Ravenclaw even more now."

"Oh~ boy, that's not going to work." Professor Flitwick shook his head helplessly: "Once you are divided into colleges, you can't change it."

"Hey……"

Professor Flitwick and Kewen sighed at the same time, then looked at each other and laughed...
