Chapter 4174 Chapter 4176 [Wizards are gods]
After leaving Khalilabad Academy of Magic, Xiang Nan's family finally returned to London, England.
He did not go to Japan's magic house again, because most of Japan's magic was inherited from China, and the other half came from Ilvermorny Magic School in the United States. There was not much that belonged to him at all.
Xiang Nan was too lazy to waste time.
Moreover, August is already eleven years old, and it is time to report to Hogwarts.
In fact, as soon as the Xiang Nan family returned to London, August had already received the notice of enrollment in September.
Although he was born in Penglai, his name was already on the Hogwarts admission list from the moment he was born.
August then bought his first wand at Ollivander's Wand Store, which was twelve inches long, made of apple tree, and had unicorn tail hair.
After he entered Hogwarts, like Xiang Nan, he was assigned to Ravenclaw House.
Because he had a strong curiosity about magic under the tutelage of Xiang Nan since he was a child, and this was in line with the potential of Ravenclaw Academy.
After sending his son to school, Xiang Nan spent the next time sorting out and taking inventory of what he had learned.
In more than ten years, he has learned magic from ten magic schools in Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Africa and other regions.
It can be said that his accumulation of knowledge exceeds that of any wizard in the world. Even top masters like Dumbledore and Grindelwald can't compete with him.
However, what he has learned is too complicated and it is time to sort it out.
Otherwise, as Confucius said, if you learn without thinking, you will be in vain; if you think without learning, you will be in danger.
…
In the next few years, Xiang Nan spent time organizing and summarizing the knowledge he had learned.
By sorting out and summarizing what he had learned, Xiang Nan's understanding of magic became deeper and deeper, and his control over magic became stronger and stronger.
He is increasingly able to understand one sentence, that is, "Wizards are gods."
Because there are many wordless spells in Europe, America, Asia, Africa and other places.
This kind of incantation is not about reciting the incantation silently in the mind, but there is really no need to say the incantation. As long as there is a thought in the mind, the spell can be released.
The older the magic, the more wordless spells there are.
This shows that in the distant ancient times, there was a group of ancestor wizards who had mastered magic before the invention of writing and language.
Therefore, the spells and magic texts they passed down seemed more like they were created for inheritance and to teach future generations.
Many civilizations in the world have recorded such stories.
For example, before Odin created ancient runes, he was already the king of gods; before Cangjie created characters, there were already great shamans reborn in China, such as Huangdi, Yandi, Chiyou, Gonggong, Zhurong, etc.; the ancient Egyptian **** of wisdom Before Thoth invented writing, Egypt already had nine pillar gods...
Xiang Nan reasonably speculated that the so-called gods at that time, such as Odin, Thor, Loki, Cangjie, Yandi, Huangdi, Gonggong, Chiyou, Thoth, Amon, etc. were all wizards with certain extraordinary abilities. He has done things that are unimaginable and difficult for ordinary people to do, so he is respected or feared by people.
But as time goes by, deeds turn into stories, stories turn into legends, legends turn into myths, and eventually no one can see clearly what happened back then.
The existence of the wordless spell proves that wizards can release magic by relying solely on will and thoughts. As long as his will is strong enough and his thoughts are clear enough, he can do it.
This shows that wizards are gods and can "follow their words" and "change the world with their thoughts."
And this is in line with everything Xiang Nan knows, that is, "In the magical world of Harry Potter, magic is quite idealistic."
For example, to cast the Patronus Charm, you must think about happy things; to cast the Three Unforgivable Curses, you must have evil thoughts; to cast the Apparition, you must wholeheartedly want to get there...
The highest state of idealism is "I am God!", "The universe is my heart, my heart is the universe", "Everything is prepared for me", "I think, therefore I am".
Therefore, the wizard who is more determined and confident has the strongest magic power and the highest achievements.
It seemed that when Merope Gaunt was being bullied by her family, even a simple magic spell could not be released. But after her father and brother were arrested, her magic power quickly recovered, and she could even brew high-level magic potions such as love potion. And after she was abandoned by Tom Riddle, she lost her magic power again and couldn't even make a living.
Her personal experience illustrates this point.
…
But Xiang Nan also knows that manpower is sometimes scarce.
Wizards can only approach God, but they are not God after all.
Wizards cannot achieve immortality, and even using the magic stone can only extend their lifespan. And the price is very high.
Wizards cannot create life. Even if you use transfiguration to turn a stone into a beetle, a teapot into a turtle, or a stone statue into a human form, they are not real life, but just soulless puppets.
Wizards have no control over destiny. Although wizards can make prophecies and even see a little bit of the future, wizards cannot control destiny.
Just like Voldemort, after learning about the prophecy, not only did he not change his destiny, but he helped the prophecy come true.
Xiang Nan knew this, so he didn't arrogantly think like Voldemort that he was really a **** and could control everyone under his control.
He just tried his best to apply what he learned and help others.
For example, after he came back, he helped Lupine, who had transformed into a werewolf, release the "Human Shape Curse" on a full moon night, helping him return to his original shape.
In fact, Xiang Nan didn't understand the specific spell of the Humanoid Curse, nor did he know how to wave the wand. But he was determined to help Lupine return to his human form, and sure enough, he really did it.
Under the influence of his powerful magic, Lupine indeed returned to his human form. Moreover, he did not turn into a werewolf again on the night of the full moon.
This made Lu Ping very happy and even moved to tears.
As a werewolf, he has been discriminated against since he was a child. Later, after entering Hogwarts, although he had friends such as James, Xiang Nan, Lily, Pettigrew, and Sirius, he still felt a little inferior in his heart.
Even though he later took over the Dragon Power store and became a very successful businessman and inventor, he was no longer as embarrassed as in the original work, but he still felt inferior and was afraid of being discovered as the werewolf's secret.
But now, he has finally turned back into a human, no longer turning into a wolf every full moon night, no longer needing to worry about biting others, no longer worrying about being discriminated against...
From then on, he could live freely, even get married and have children, and share a family... Xiang Nan simply gave him a second life.
This made Lupine very happy and grateful.
"Sev, thank you so much. You gave me a new life." Lupine said gratefully.
"We are all friends, no need to be polite." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
