Chapter 112 The Process of Modern Black Magic
Since converting the Screaming Shack into the Twilight Cabin, Ada has often stayed here. In the cabin, she can read quietly without anyone disturbing her, and she doesn't have to be irritated by the lovers in the library. The important thing is that no one will compete with her again.
When the weather is bad and the weather is cold, Ada can sit on the sofa next to the fireplace; if the weather is fine and the sun is shining, Ada can also sit in the rocking chair by the window and bask in the sun. Winnie the elf got it back.
It is a pleasure to sit on a rickety rocking chair, whether reading a book or taking a nap with your eyes closed. There are pastries made by elves on the small table next to you, and a cup of hot black tea. This kind of life is really too much. Little bourgeois.
With one person, one dog and one book, Ada could sit here for a full day. Fred and George would continue their experiments in the downstairs room, and from time to time there would be explosions, the only source of noise in the cabin.
Beauty Village is a Tomb of Heroes, but Ada is not a hero, so the comfortable life in the hut has not corrupted her. When there is nothing else to do at night, Ada will still go to the underground room to practice with the trial dolls.
It has been a year and a half since she entered Hogwarts to learn magic, almost two years. Not to mention punching Dumbledore and stepping on Voldemort, Ada can't even beat Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall now. It's really... What a shame!
However, Ada's system is quite Buddhist. It rarely issues any tasks to Ada. Even if it occasionally releases a task and fails to complete it, there will be no punitive measures, and the sense of existence is extremely low!
The most unfortunate thing about such a good system is that it has a mouth.
Ada, who was sitting in front of the window, was holding a copy of "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Runes" in her hand. This book was specially ordered from Flourish and Blotts Bookstore for preview after she selected this elective course.
In fact, with the help of the system, Ada does not need to take this course at all, but as the saying goes, one person is short-term and two people are long-term. With the guidance of Professor Basilda Barbling, Ada's study of ancient runes The progress will also be faster.
Putting down the book in her hand, Ada needed to slow down. Reading these runes, which were like a heavenly book, made Ada's head hurt. She now needed to read something relaxing to relax.
There are three other books on the small table, "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", which was a birthday gift from Fred and George; "Important Magical Events of the Twentieth Century", which was the beginning of Ada's first grade. I bought it a while ago and have finished reading it long ago. Apart from these two books, the remaining one is more like a book than a book, called "The Process of Modern Black Magic"
This booklet was recently found by Ada from the forbidden book section. It was hidden in another book. Ada also discovered it accidentally. Although it was only a thin booklet, the content recorded on it was... There are a lot of them, and all the words are handwritten in tiny, tiny fonts.
The booklet records the lives of some dark wizards and some of the black magic they used. The people who wrote these words even recorded the effects of these black magic and the side effects of using them.
Ada feels that this booklet should not be called "Modern Black Magic Process", but should be called "Dark Wizards Quick Guide", or "Jail Tips for One Day" which is also very appropriate. Every time you read a page, you will leave. Azkaban is one step closer.
There is no author's name in the book, and he probably didn't dare to write it further. If he was caught, the Ministry of Magic wouldn't directly reward the author with a kiss from a dementor!
Ada had just read that Gellert Grindelwald was traveling to the United States, having just led his followers in multiple attacks across Europe. Judging from the description in the book, Grindelwald is full of talent in every move and every move, and he is worthy of being one of the most powerful dark wizards in history.
In addition to being able to fight, Grindelwald's language is extremely inflammatory, especially the phrase "for the greater good", which speaks to people's hearts. This is why he has so many followers and his influence spreads across Europe and the United States. Bar!
Fred and George stepped forward, and the two brothers interrupted Ada, who was ruminating on "for the greater good."
"What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed." Fred said, picking up a piece of pastry from the table and stuffing it into his mouth.
George took out two cups and poured boiling black tea into them, and then added milk to the cups. This is how the British drink it, and to Ada it looks more like milk tea.
Shaking the book in her hand, Ada said: "Azkaban quick skills, do you want to learn them?"
"No, not at all," George said as he stirred the teacup. "To hell with Azkaban!"
"This is a book about the history of modern black magic, but the author mixed it with a lot of personal information." Ada put the book back on the small table and refused Fred to add milk to her tea cup. , "I'm watching the part about Grindelwald."
"Which one do you think is more scary, Grindelwald or the mysterious man?" Ada asked. Maybe it's because she hasn't experienced Voldemort's rule, or maybe she hasn't been in the wizarding world since she was a child. Ada is not like others. Fear of Voldemort.
If it weren't for taking care of the twins, Ada would have just said the name Voldemort instead of calling him You-Know-Who or He Who Must Not Be Named.
"We dare to call Grindelwald by his name, but we dare not say the name of the mysterious man." George said, "Isn't this obvious?"
Fred nodded in agreement. He completely agreed with his twin brother's view. Compared to Grindelwald, they were more afraid of Voldemort, or the entire British wizarding world.
Although Grindelwald once covered the European sky like a dark cloud, Grindelwald's sphere of influence and his horrific activities never extended to the United Kingdom. However, Britain is Voldemort's base, and his evil deeds Most of them were done here.
What's more, Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore as early as 1945. How many years have passed, and people's fear of Grindelwald has been diluted by time. Later, the crown was captured by the rising star Voldemort. Now, only ten years have passed since Voldemort's downfall, and Voldemort's fear still lingers in the hearts of wizards.
The question Ada asked was wrong in itself, and it was on par with Guan Gong and Qin Qiong.
When Voldemort was rampant, Grindelwald had long been defeated by Dumbledore himself. The two dark wizards had never faced each other head-on, and their behavior styles were completely different. It was indeed difficult to compare them together.
"Dear Miss Drizzt, what do you think?" Fred asked. He knew that Ada had no fear of Voldemort, so he was a little curious about what Ada would choose.
"For the greater good!" Ada said. If she had to choose alone, she would still prefer Grindelwald to Voldemort. After all, Grindelwald once set off a tragedy that swept the world. war.
"What?" George didn't understand what Ada meant.
"I also think the mysterious man is more frightening." Ada changed the answer to Voldemort. "After all, my parents are not wizards. My background is on the must-kill list of the mysterious man and the Death Eaters."
To Voldemort, Ada is a despicable, despicable mudblood, a being who is not worthy of learning magic and must be eliminated. On Grindelwald's side, Ada at least still has a chance to survive. No matter how you look at her performance, she is a proper elite. Grindelwald can allow such a person to exist.
"Why are you thinking about this? The mysterious man has been defeated by Harry Potter a long time ago." Fred said, "You should think about what you can eat at night, it will be more practical."
"Besides, we have Dumbledore." George patted Ada on the shoulder to comfort her, "He is the greatest wizard!"
"Okay, it's just fun." Ada stood up and adjusted her clothes, "Let's go back to the castle. I hope there will be pudding for dinner!"
