Chapter 4110 4112【Yeqi】
During this month, Xiang Nan also learned more about the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley through owl communications with James and Sirius, and subscribed to the Daily Prophet.
Those dark wizards indeed all lost their magic power and became squibs, so they were easily caught by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and were all imprisoned in Azkaban Prison.
After all, considering the crimes they committed, not having their souls sucked by the Dementors was already considered a mercy from the Ministry of Magic. But their final fate is no better than having their souls sucked by dementors.
Because after they were imprisoned in Azkaban, they were quickly tortured by the Dementors to the point where they lost the courage to live. They all suffered mental breakdowns, became lunatics, or chose to commit suicide.
But because of this, no one knows whether they can recover their magic power later.
This made Xiang Nan slightly regretful.
Because "whether the magic power can be regenerated after using the magic power of wedding clothes to absorb it" is a topic worthy of study.
This is related to the origin of magic power, whether it comes from the blood of the wizard or from external forces.
Although the magic world has existed for thousands of years, wizards still don't have much understanding of the origin of magic and the composition of magic.
Is magic like the chakra in "Naruto", the product of the fusion of physical energy and mental energy? Or is it like the magic in "World of Warcraft", which comes from the six major powers of the universe? Or is it like the magic in "The Lord of the Rings"? It comes from the gift of the Creator... Until now, there is no accurate explanation.
If he could figure out the nature of magic, he might be able to understand the origin of magic and even qualify to become a true god.
"I must study it carefully after I defeat Voldemort in the future." Xiang Nan said to himself.
…
On September 1st, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry begins.
Xiang Nan and Lily said goodbye to their parents at home, then took their suitcases and headed to the Leaky Cauldron via the Floo Network, and then took a bus from the Leaky Cauldron to King's Cross Station.
After passing through the pillar between platforms nine and ten, they entered platform nine and three-quarters, then got on the train and found an unoccupied compartment.
"Severus, it's great to see you." Gregory, Benjamin and others soon came to the carriage, as well as James, Sirius and others.
"My mother almost didn't let me go to school." Gregory said to Xiang Nan.
"Why?" Xiang Nan asked in confusion, "Is it because of Voldemort?"
"Of course not. No matter how terrifying Voldemort is, he would not dare to go wild in Hogwarts." Gregory waved his hand, "I'm talking about the mysterious wizard."
"Mysterious wizard?" Lily asked in confusion.
"Yes, a mysterious wizard who can absorb the magic power of wizards and turn them into squibs." Gregory explained, "No one knows where he comes from, and no one knows what he looks like, so everyone is extremely afraid. ”
"What he did is indeed a good thing. But no one can guarantee whether he will attack ordinary wizards in the future." Gregory said worriedly, "So everyone is afraid of him. Even the Ministry of Magic is afraid of causing panic among the people. , so he has been suppressing the news and dare not report his news. But in fact, all the wizards living in the magical world know it." James also said with a hint of fear. He said, "It's terrible, isn't it? He can actually absorb other people's magic power. I really don't know how he does it. I don't think even Voldemort can do it."
"He may become the most terrifying dark wizard." Sirius agreed, "Compared with him, Voldemort seems much more benevolent. After all, if I lose my magic power and become a squib, I would rather die and feel better."
"That's right." Gregory agreed.
Seeing that they were comparing him to Voldemort, Xiang Nan couldn't help scratching his head, "I think that person is okay. He has always targeted the dark wizards in Knockturn Alley, and has no record of attacking ordinary wizards. I think he He should be an upright, kind, and reliable person, and he should not be thought too badly of. "
"I think so too." Lily nodded, "Those dark wizards have done so many bad things and they really should be punished."
She heard from Xiang Nan that those dark wizards would kidnap underage wizards, kill them and turn them into materials for casting spells. For this reason, they should be punished.
"But there is a proverb in the magical world: A warrior who slays a dragon will eventually become a dragon." James waved his hand, "No one is sure whether he will only attack dark wizards. What if one day, he will also attack ordinary wizards? what to do?"
Gregory and Sirius both nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "Okay, stop talking about this, the cart is here, let's buy some food."
…
At nightfall, the Hogwarts Express stopped at Hogsmeade Station.
The first years followed Rubeus Hagrid and took a boat to Hogwarts Castle in accordance with the traditional ceremony.
Because the four founders of Hogwarts took a boat across the Black Lake and came to the mountain where Hogwarts is located, and built the castle here.
Freshmen in second grade and above take a carriage from the main entrance of the school to Hogwarts.
Xiang Nan noticed that the animal pulling the cart was tall and skinny, with no meat on its body. It looked like a horse, but its head was like a dragon. Its whole body was dark, and it had a pair of bat-like wings on its back...
Xiang Nan knew that this was the Thestral, a magical creature that could only be seen by people who had experienced death, so it was considered an ominous thing, but that was not the case.
The Thestral is a very powerful magical creature, recorded in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and is listed as a dangerous animal by the Ministry of Magic.
Its tail feathers possess powerful magic power. The Elder Wand in the Deathly Hallows uses Thestral's tail feathers as its core, so it is far more powerful than ordinary wands.
For example, if an ordinary wand is broken, it cannot be repaired with other wands. But it can be repaired with the Elder Wand, which shows how powerful it is.
Xiang Nan even wanted to pluck a Thestral tail hair and try to make an Elder Wand himself. After all, he had previously bought a book "The Making and Maintenance of Magic Wands" and a book "The Druid's Way of Nature".
Both books explain how to make wands. In fact, making a wand is not as difficult as imagined. Any wizard can make a wand. The only difference is the quality.
The Ollivander family is famous not because they are the only ones who can make wands, but because their wands are generally recognized to be well-made. In fact, the Elder Wand among the Three Deathly Hallows was made by the Peverell brothers themselves.
However, Xiang Nan did not take action in the end because he was afraid of surprising the Yeqi, which would cause trouble if the carriage derailed. After he tries to make a wand in the future and accumulates relevant experience, it won't be too late to pull the Thestral's tail feathers.
