Chapter 39 Forbidden Book Area
The legend of the secret room is still circulating in the castle, but Sherlock is not in the mood to pay attention to it. The students guess who the real Slytherin descendants were, and whether anyone doubted what happened to them.
In fact, before Halloween, in mid-October, he had been addicted to Hogwarts' library all day long.
After seeing the collection of Hogwarts's books, Sherlock truly understood that the original owner's study was nothing.
Compared with the magic books here, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a drop in the bucket.
The mystery of magic is a treasure that no one who desires knowledge cannot refuse.
This is a set of natural laws unique to the abnormal world. Mastering this law and using it is actually not much different from studying natural science in the normal world.
The two are just different in terms of expression.
This is the biggest feeling of magic and science that Sherlock has been exposed to magic for two months.
A studious and knowledgeable person have great potential in any world.
So, except for completing his teaching job, he spent most of his other time in the library.
During the seven academic years of Hogwarts, there is a lot of knowledge that students need to learn.
Under normal circumstances, not to mention returning to the magic level of the original owner, even if Sherlock wants to reach a level comparable to that of a normal seventh-grade graduate, it is not something that can be done in a short time.
Even if he is a magic genius, it will take at least two or three years.
Fortunately, the original owner's body has long been familiar with the use and release of most spells.
As long as Sherlock simply practices the curse that is strange to him a few times, he will naturally reach the point where practice makes perfect.
But the profoundness of magic is not only reflected in the curse.
The muscle memory left by the original owner can only help him quickly and proficient in casting operations. The understanding of theoretical knowledge and magical knowledge such as herbal medicine, potions, and astronomy still requires Sherlock to study it carefully.
Fortunately, his learning and understanding ability is not bad.
Before he traveled through time, he was a graduate of middle school and college in the field of science. Even when he entered the magic world, learning knowledge was still the main way to gain power for wizards.
From July when I just traveled to this world, until now in early November, Sherlock has basically mastered all the curse of the original owner.
There are only a few special ones that cannot be tried easily, such as phantom movement, and there are also those that do not rely solely on spells and casting skills, but require special emotions to succeed, such as the Holy Guardian.
Both types of spells are more advanced, Sherlock is not afraid to try it for the time being. In a castle like Hogwarts where anti-Phantom Movement Magic is scattered all over the school, he has no chance to try it.
The patron saint curse Sherlock tried it once, and only some silver light threads appeared on the tip of his wand, and no specific patron saint was formed.
But he seriously suspected that even the original owner would not have really summoned his guardian saint.
This kind of magic that requires a lot of positive emotions to be successfully used is strange if the original owner can use it.
Let’s not discuss the theoretical knowledge of magic, such as potions, herbs, and astronomy.
The two main casting methods of wizards - spells and transforming techniques. Sherlock is confident that he can reach the level of a normal adult wizard.
Even relying on the accumulation of the original owner, it may be much stronger. After all, defensive magic like the Iron Armor Curse cannot be learned by any adult wizard.
After confirming that he had mastered the regular spells, he did not continue to expand and learn knowledge such as potions.
After meeting Slughorn, he agreed with at least one of the other party's views.
Even if Dumbledore, the most famous white wizard in the entire magic world, is still a very dangerous place in Hogwarts.
Now a student has been attacked, which means the secret room has been opened and the snake monster has been released.
Although Sherlock also wanted to relieve the crisis in advance, he really didn't know where the entrance to the secret room was, and who was the Slytherin successor who opened the secret room.
If he knew, he would definitely plan a suitable reason and excuse as soon as possible, and then tell Dumbledore all the things.
At that time, Dumbledore will worry about the specific matters. Isn’t it good for Sherlock to wait carefully to deal with the “great disaster” taught by his Black Magic Defense class?
Unfortunately, he has never read the original work and movies of the Secret Room, but has only heard the up owner explain the plot, and he has not remembered much useful information.
So now he can only rely on himself to ensure safety.
Even if Sherlock's body is mixed, who knows if the snake monster's brain will be terrified one day? He thinks he is as beautiful as a flower, delicious and delicious, suddenly attacks him?
Only when you have the ability to ensure your safety is the most reassuring thing.
So Sherlock's next focus is still to focus on various practical spells and skills to strengthen his own transformation techniques.
It’s just that the magic level of a normal adult wizard really can’t make people feel much safer in this dangerous castle.
If you want to step closer, Sherlock will naturally not only be attached to ordinary magic knowledge.
After Halloween, he is preparing to officially start learning magic knowledge in the forbidden book area.
The forbidden book area in the Hogwarts Library is not all books related to black magic.
Instead, the school believes that it is too dangerous and profound, and is not suitable for middle and lower grade students to come into contact with.
Yes, it is not suitable for middle and lower grades to contact.
After entering the fifth grade, part of the content of the prohibited book area can be opened to students.
As a professor, Sherlock naturally has the right to access all the books in the library, including those magic books in the forbidden book area.
On a weekend morning in November, Sherlock came to the library and walked into the forbidden book area for the first time.
Mrs. Pins, the administrator who was in charge of supervising the entire library, naturally did not stop him.
It’s just that because the professor usually needs to borrow books, he always writes a note for students to help lend it out. It’s rare for Sherlock to come here in person.
After entering the forbidden book area, the books that most attract attention were those related to black magic.
In terms of power and effect alone, black magic is indeed the strongest among all spells, among which the three unforgivable spells are the most.
If you want to quickly have the ability to protect yourself and master strong strength, the most convenient thing is undoubtedly to learn black magic.
But Sherlock's attitude towards Black Magic was also as he said at the teacher's rally.
The curse is just an appearance, and the true core lies in the human heart.
Before he truly confirmed that his will could withstand the erosion of black magic, Sherlock was not ready to touch these seemingly powerful forces, but in fact he could not grasp them at all.
Of course, not using it does not mean it will not be possible.
Just like Dumbledore, no one has ever seen him chewing big melons, but can you say for sure that he can't?
And just as Sherlock surrounded the bookshelf in the forbidden book area, he chose which book to read from.
