Chapter 1052 Nick Nick Nick

In the wizarding world, delayed spells are not uncommon.

In fact, most "cursed objects" are essentially magical traps that seal a curse.

For Elena and others, it is just a matter of optimizing and improving the activation method based on the original physical trigger, and upgrading the channels for the magic spell to enter and exit, directly turning the original advanced magic spell storage and release into The process of filling and launching is fool-proof.

On the other hand, considering the production process, there are many restrictions on the spell slots attached to the first batch of "magic books".

First of all, it cannot carry magic that is too powerful - for example, the magic of a full-strength strike from a wizard of Dumbledore's level.

Secondly, even if Elena and others used the magic stone in the process of forming the "spell slot", they still could not solve the problem of mana spillage.

As time goes by, the power of the spell sealed in the "spell slot" will gradually weaken until it completely dissipates.

Especially after 48 hours, the overflow rate will suddenly increase sharply - judging from previous experimental data, it will rapidly decay from the original 80% effect to about 15% to 20% within a day, almost The equivalent of Voldemort's Avada Kedavra became the Nosebleed Curse.

Finally, and the most fatal point.

While pre-steps such as spells and gestures are omitted, the "spell slot" activation requires higher requirements for the control of magic spells.

Except for non-directional spells such as "armor protection", "fluorescent flash", "water and fire invulnerability", "all protection"...the vast majority of directional spells must be activated through special procedures without exception. Spell-casting practice, otherwise there is a high probability that it will explode directly next to the spell-casting wizard.

Unlike other little wizards, Elena, as a hybrid Veela, has the ability to cast spells without a wand.

In other words, when she guides the release of magic, even her fingers and hair can mostly act as directional restraints for the wand.

In contrast, Hermione, Hannah, and Luna obviously cannot replicate the practice of "not being a human being". They received a total of three suggestions from the novice tutorial: try to choose non-directional spells, When releasing, use the wand to guide and practice spellcasting from the magic book frequently.

Regarding the choice of spell entry, Elena couldn't give much good advice.

After all, whether it is "student personal terminal" or "spell slot loading", these are all appearing for the first time.

One of the reasons why Hermione, Hannah, and Luna were able to obtain customized models was to collect user data and verify the effects during actual use. For Hermione, who has a little difficulty in choosing, It is undoubtedly a very huge test.

Compared to the other two little witches, she wanted to record too many spells.

After leaving the auditorium, Hermione had been thinking seriously. When they walked through the long corridor and arrived at the grammar classroom, she had not yet thought about what magic to enter in the "terminal". But she finally came to her senses, because the person sitting next to the grammar class podium was not Professor Lockhart, but a Hogwarts ghost that everyone was familiar with - the resident ghost of Gryffindor. Headless Nick.

"N-Sir Nicholas?! How did you-"

"Professor Lockhart has some important personal matters to deal with, so I will be temporarily teaching for him during this period."

The almost headless Nick adjusted his raised collar uncomfortably, and showed an elegant but not friendly smile to the little wizards gathered at the door, "Oh, get up, kids - we always Can’t we have classes in the corridor?”

Something important...personal?

"So soon? I thought it would wait until the end of the semester..."

Hermione frowned, glanced at Mr. [World], and subconsciously turned her head to look at Elena.

As a reserve Miss Justice, she naturally knows what "personal matters" Nick refers to.

But in her mind, such a thing should wait until at least the end of the semester, and use the free time during the holidays to heal the problem, rather than detonating it directly during the semester - a scandal broke out while teaching at Hogwarts, and the pressure she endured It's nothing like a press conference during the holidays.

"Is it quick? I still think it's a little late -"

Elena's lake-blue eyes flashed with a slightly cold light.

"The interest on the debt is increasing every day." She said, as if she was talking about Gringotts' debt. "Settling things aside and quietly dealing with the dark history is how the wildflowers breed, Nirvana and rebirth. The first conditions are fire and heat.”

"But...if the fire is too intense, aren't you worried that-"

"There is no life-threatening danger, this is a matter of course - as for other things, if a person does something wrong, he will have to bear the consequences."

"So, do you have any secret plans that you haven't told me?"

"About this? Unfortunately, no."

The two of them walked to their seats and sat down while carrying their schoolbags while chatting in charades.

Gilderoy Lockhart will leave Hogwarts sooner or later. As an outgoing, confident, and expressive young wizard, he is not so suitable for the job of a Hogwarts professor. Perhaps he will return to school in the future. , but in the short term he is more suitable for the outside world.

But before that, Lockhart must face the stains of his past, otherwise Dumbledore may be more inclined to kill him in school.

Of course, there are many other possible follow-up branches, but Elena does not intend to explain them all to Miss Calculation Ji.

As the class bell rang, Sir Nicholas floated from the door to the front of the podium.

"Before Professor Lockhart left the school, he gave me a brief introduction to the learning progress of your class..."

Nick, who was almost headless, looked around the class, looking past the white-haired dumpling at the front to Harry and others sitting in the back row.

"I noticed that Professor Lockhart's teaching content is mainly in the field of modern narratives and novels, but he has slightly neglected the appreciation of some traditional poetry, classics, especially some ancient literature. Therefore, in the following period, I will focus on strengthening this part of teaching.”

"Sir, we don't have poetry teaching materials, we only have these -"

Dean Thomas raised his hand and shook the book "Breaking with the Female Ghost" in his hand.

Other students in the class also murmured in agreement, looking at the Gryffindor resident ghost floating in front of the desk in confusion.

In Hogwarts, ghost teaching is nothing unusual.

However, even Professor Binns's History of Magic is based on the "History of Magic" written by Bathilda Bagshot to assist in teaching, and judging from what Nearly Headless Nick just said, it is obvious that what he is about to teach Nothing to do with the Lockhart series.

"Don't worry, over a long period of time, those words have been firmly imprinted in my mind.

Nearly headless Nick replied with a smile, his tone was elegant and appropriate, and people couldn't help but want to continue listening.

"And I don't have much teaching content. I mainly choose three classic articles in history as references. Now, you can take out your notebook and quill and prepare to write down the names of the three articles we are going to study next. I I will introduce their meanings one by one——"

"The first is the Nibelungenlied - the story about the wizard Siegfried and his wife Kremhild."

"After this, we will learn the romantic legend "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight". Of course, I hope that during the learning process, you can view literary descriptions dialectically and rationally, and do not create any comparisons between knights. The ridiculous idea that wizards want to be more powerful.”

"Finally, if we have time, we will focus on studying the works of Thomas More..."

The almost headless Nick paused inaudibly for half a second, his eyes passing over the face of "Miss Fool" sitting in front of the classroom.

"Utopia," he said softly.
