After breakfast, Felix did not rush to let Harry work but instead asked, "How are you thinking about the book I gave you before?"
The books were given to Harry last August. Now that it's July, logically speaking, he should have read almost all of those books.
From time to time, Harry would hold a book and ask Felix about some key points, so Felix was not very worried about the boy's attitude towards reading.
"I'm just not sure about the process," Harry said seriously.
Felix nodded. "Do you still remember what I said to you on the street when you first started school last year?"
Harry nodded; that was a day he would never forget. From that day on, Dudley never bullied him again.
"You said at the time that my next step should be to develop my brain, but after that incident, I changed it to physical exercise," Harry said. Then, his eyes lit up, and he said with a little excitement, "Uncle Felix, can we start the next step of training?"
"Indeed," Felix nodded. "You have a sufficient foundation in modern magic, so now, I will teach you a spell that can last throughout a wizard's life."
Later, Felix was not in a hurry to reveal to Harry what the spell was but instead asked, "What paths did the three major ancient magic systems take?"
Harry tapped his forehead with his finger, sorted out his words, and then spoke slowly. "The three major ancient magic systems are ancient Greek magic, ancient Egyptian magic, and Germanic magic."
Harry continued in a calm, unhurried tone, "Ancient Greek magic was the first magic system to break away from primitive sacrifices. Due to institutional reasons, a large number of spellcasters began to think about the laws of nature, the nature of heaven and earth, and the human heart. At the same time, some spellcasters tried to find breakthroughs from ancient mathematics.
After hundreds of years of development, ancient Greek magic developed a spell-casting idea dominated by abstract logic. This path has extremely high requirements on the brain's computing power and spell-casting logic and is characterized by calculations, logical construction, and spatial geometry. Its most outstanding categories are Charms and Alchemy.
Unfortunately, with the ban of alchemy by Pope John XXII, a large number of ancient Greek alchemical results were stolen and consolidated into the 'Book of Abraham.' This book is now in the possession of Nicholas Flamel. He also used this book to refine the Philosopher's Stone, lived for more than seven hundred years, and even had a good relationship with Dumbledore."
Felix nodded. He had majored in the ancient Greek system, including the Sword of Triton he obtained from the Caribbean, from which Poseidon's Trident also came. That's why he was so pleased to receive Thales's manuscript from Borgin.
"Continue," Felix waved his hand and said.
Harry nodded. "Ancient Egyptian magic, because of the culture's unique worship of death and the high-pressure slavery system, has become the best soil for black magic. Concrete Desire is the path of ancient Egyptian magic. The wizard casts a spell by imagining the effect he wants to achieve. This path emphasizes higher spiritual powers and extreme desires. The most outstanding categories are black magic and the transformation technique explored with the lives of slaves. For example, the ancient art of transformation—animal creation!"
After saying that, Harry looked at Felix and waited for supplements. He didn't know if there were any mistakes in what he said.
"There are also curses, which are also the most prosperous magic category in ancient Egypt," Felix said. "The development of the curse comes from the fact that the ancient Egyptians did not want their sleep to be disturbed. Especially the pharaohs would set up vicious curses in their pyramids. Of course, the magic world is also cracking the code now. After all, who doesn't want to get the large number of classics and black magic burial objects stored in the pyramid?"
With that said, Felix took out the huge wand from his left arm, rubbing the crow's skull at the end of the staff.
"This old guy is a powerful wand from ancient Egypt."
(Translator notes : Felix is a true distinguished English man)
When Harry heard this, goosebumps stood up all over his body. He had never known that this wand had such a background.
Was this...dug out of a grave?!
Felix obviously guessed what Harry was thinking and showed an ignorant smile. Then he pointed his wand towards Harry and demonstrated:
"The effectiveness of regular spells is 150%, the effectiveness of desire spells is doubled, and the effectiveness of dark magic spells is doubled."
After speaking, Felix shook his head and sighed, "If Voldemort sees this staff of mine, I'm afraid he will be overjoyed. Even if he could touch it, it would be like smoking on the Slytherin tombstone."
Harry was stunned and said in disbelief, "Is this wand... really... so powerful?!"
"Indeed," Felix confirmed.
Harry's head was tapped lightly with the wand.
"But you have to remember, whether it's a wand or a ring, we will always be the servants of wizards. Of course, we can pursue more powerful casters, magical equipment, and even potent potions," Felix said solemnly. "But what a wizard can truly rely on is always within themselves!"
As he spoke, he nodded his head.
"I understand," Harry nodded quickly, rubbing his head.
Felix stood up and waved, "Come with me."
"Uncle Felix, about Germanic magic..." Harry started.
"No need, your first two questions were quite logical. As for Germanic magic, it relies on runes, a magic system that was born due to the frequent wars in the Germanic region for a long time. Enchanting longswords, armor, and various war-boosting equipment, as well as potions and herbal medicine, are its most powerful aspects."
Harry nodded, then thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "There is also research on magical creatures! At first, the study of magical creatures was derived from Potions and then became an independent subject!"
Felix was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Harry to actually contribute something.
"It wasn't that you were wrong about your tough-talking nature," Felix said with satisfaction. "You kid, I even forgot about magical creatures, but you reminded me."
Harry smiled cheerfully and followed Felix into the study.
"What I have learned is diverse, so in the future, I will not teach you too many things that are unique to me," Felix said.
When Harry heard this, he was suddenly at a loss. "Then...what should I...do..."
"I don't need you to be like me, and you shouldn't try to be like me," Felix said, disregarding what Harry might have been thinking. "Although the modern magic here is somewhat extreme and has both pros and cons, from a learning perspective, it is indeed very suitable. So, before you develop your own modern magic system, I will refrain from teaching you additional spells, as that would do more harm than good."
Only then did Harry understand what Felix wanted to express. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement, "I will try my best."
Felix nodded, "Of course, except for the spell I'm going to teach you next."
When Harry heard this, he couldn't help but look forward to it. Felix had praised it as a spell that "endures throughout a wizard's life."
