Chapter 246: Seth Witchcraft
"Sethel witchcraft is a curse magic, involving multiple curse categories, the most famous of which is the curse magic related to the ritual of living sacrifice. Of course, we will not involve the ritual of living sacrifice in our study, after all, those have been banned for a long time.
Looking at the history of Sethel witchcraft, it originated in Northern Europe, flourished in England, and eventually spread throughout Europe. In the Middle Ages, a large number of witch-killing movements in Europe were related to Sethel witchcraft. As for the reasons, they are mostly related to inhumane ritual magic such as curses, living sacrifices, blood sacrifices, and killings. In today's class, let's learn about the principles and history of Sethel witchcraft..."
The lights in the Sethel witchcraft classroom are dim. I don't know if it's been vacant for too long or it's the teacher's personal preference. The wall paint on the entire classroom wall has fallen off. The moss growing in the dark quietly climbed up the wall without wall paint, exuding a rotten and dilapidated smell.
The professor of Sethel witchcraft is Professor Freya, an old woman from Durmstrang. Professor Freya is hunchbacked and very old. It is estimated that she is at least seventy years old.
With wrinkles all over her face, hooked nose, protruding eyes, and extremely ugly appearance, coupled with the dark brown and somewhat damaged wizard robe, she looks like a terrifying old witch.
"I really don't understand why you chose to take the Seth Witchcraft course! Do you know how dangerous curse magic is?" Elena pouted in dissatisfaction.
Qin Weijie smiled and said, "Please tell me, Teacher Elena..."
Seeing Qin Weijie's attitude, Elena's habit of being a teacher came back again, and she stated the facts and reasoned with a serious face: "Curse magic is the most special existence in the magic system.
Because its effect is too insidious, the use of curse magic will inevitably be backfired by the elements or other rules. Take the Chinese proverb you often say, which is "harmful to the harmony of heaven, unacceptable by heaven, five disadvantages and three deficiencies"
Have you seen Professor Freya? Guess how old she is this year? "
Qin Weijie was puzzled, but still tried to guess: "70? Or 75?"
"She is 32 years old!" Elena said with great confidence.
"Wardfa~? Are you kidding?" Qin Weijie couldn't believe it.
Elena rolled her eyes and Qin Weijie continued, "Professor Freya is only 32 years old this year. Her old body is the proof of the backlash of Seth's witchcraft!
Curse magic, hurting one thousand enemies and hurting eight hundred of yourself. The caster is the carrier of the curse. The curse does not work overnight if it wants to exert a powerful effect. The curse needs to be nourished by the carrier. When the curse is mature, it can be used to kill the recipient.
When the curse is nourished, the curse will affect the carrier and the people or objects around the carrier. The caster is the creator of the curse, and this effect will be particularly serious."
"Oh my! How can the curse be the same as raising a Gu? Is the curse an insect?"
Elena shook her head: "I saw an introduction to curse magic in the library. Early curse magic did rely on some corpse worms, poisonous insects, and corpse moths, but with the advancement of curse magic, especially since the Middle Ages, curse magic has gradually broken away from the restrictions of attached objects. Today's curse magic often has no entity and is even more difficult to defend against."
"Oh, that's it! If it is so dangerous, why is Durmstrang still teaching this course?" Qin Weijie asked puzzled.
Qin Weijie chose to take the course of Sesser Witchcraft for its ability to curse.
Because he had inherited the "Weird Dao", the curse and killing techniques and the magical power "Seven Arrows Book" were all related to curse. In Qin Weijie's opinion, learning Sesser Witchcraft would help the two to verify each other.
It was a pity that Qin Weijie did not put in enough effort when collecting information. He only knew that Sesser Witchcraft was good at cursing, but he was not aware of the various disadvantages of curse magic.
In fact, it was not Qin Weijie's fault that he was not careful. He had too many things to do recently. On the one hand, he was studying "Elemental Will" and trying to break through the limitations of his current realm through the breakthrough of Elemental Will. On the other hand, he was considering how to establish friendship with the dwarf of Gryffindor, and he had to be on guard against the original sin power in his body being detected by the blond king.
In addition, Roland and Desmond's training of Qin Weijie's knight combat skills also made him busy.
The personnel changes in Hogwarts also revealed the plans of various forces, and he had to respond to them.
In detail, Qin Weijie is really a busy man.
"Durmstrang has always had a tradition of teaching students the dark arts." Elena answered in a low voice while taking notes seriously: "Besides, although Sesser witchcraft is good at curse magic, it also has its own unique features."
"What's unique?"
"Sesser witchcraft can better avoid the backlash of curses."
Qin Weijie glanced at Professor Freya, frowned and looked at Elena, his expression clearly said.
Do you think what you said in Professor Freya's class is convincing?
"I don't know about Professor Freya, but from what I know, Sesser witchcraft can indeed avoid the backlash of curses. Of course, the methods of avoiding backlash recorded in Sesser witchcraft are a bit..." Elena hesitated.
Qin Weijie scratched his head: "What do you think you are writing? There is still suspense! Hurry up! It's not time to end the chapter yet!"
"Professor Freya also said just now that there are some rituals of living sacrifice, killing, and blood sacrifice in the Saisir witchcraft. These rituals were not originally intended to enhance the curse ability, but to reverse the curse on the carrier and transfer it to the sacrifice through rituals such as living sacrifice, so as to preserve themselves!"
"It's just a substitute technique after all this time! Suddenly I don't want to learn it..." Qin Weijie roughly understood why there are so many inhumane rituals in the Saisir witchcraft.
Qin Weijie studied Saisir witchcraft, originally only wanting to understand the theory of Saisir witchcraft, so as to verify it with the curse killing technique.
As for the ritual of living sacrifice in Saisir witchcraft, Qin Weijie had no intention of studying it in depth from the beginning. First, living sacrifice is against the harmony of nature. As a person with normal values, Qin Weijie would not trample on those lives wantonly.
Secondly, from experience, those living sacrifices, blood sacrifices and other series of black magic will more or less affect the mind of the caster. This influence is subtle, and it may turn into a madman at any time.
Thinking of this and combining it with the recent study of high-level magic, Qin Weijie always feels that the later the magic learning is, the more strange it feels. He can't tell what it is now. He always feels that it is the most essential difference between magic and mysterious magic, but he can't accurately grasp the key points for a while.
"You can change your major within a week..."
"I'm just talking!" Qin Weijie saw that Elena was so serious and could only smile bitterly.
Forget about changing majors. Qin Weijie doesn't want to meet the Golden Hair King for no reason. He keeps a respectful distance from the Golden Hair King.
Although the Golden Hair King's performance this morning was normal, he knew his own situation. Putting aside the previous grudges, Qin Weijie didn't want to have too much interaction with that guy just because of the power of original sin in his body.
