"You made a lot of noise tonight."
As soon as Zuo Si returned to the castle, he was immediately blocked by Snape near the door.
Especially those scrutinizing eyes and gloomy face always give people a very awkward and uncomfortable feeling.
Fortunately, Zuo Si had long been accustomed to the other party's attitude, and deliberately pretended to be innocent and shrugged: "Please, professor, this is not my fault. If you have any objections to this, please go to Qi."
Professor Luo and the person behind him."
"Have you met that person?" Snape narrowed his eyes and asked tentatively.
"That's right. We had a very pleasant and friendly exchange of magic, but he didn't seem very happy himself."
When saying this, Zuo Si had a hint of joking in his tone.
You don't need to ask to know that in the short spell duel just now, Voldemort definitely suffered a big loss and was even forced to show some of his trump cards.
The effects and power of several spells are no worse than those of seventh- or even eighth-level arcane magic.
"Don't you feel nervous? You must know that that person is the Dark Lord who kills without batting an eye. The names of the wizards who died at his hands are enough to fill several pages of parchment." Snape continued to ask with interest.<
/p>
Zuo Si replied nonchalantly: "Nervous? Why should I be nervous? Maybe he was indeed a feared black magic master in his heyday, but now he is just a remnant soul living in someone else. With Professor Quirrell's magic level,
It's not enough to support him to exert his full power. I bet that many professors at Hogwarts can easily defeat him."
"So you are not afraid, and you even despise him from the bottom of your heart?" Snape touched his chin with a thoughtful expression.
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "Yes. In my opinion, Voldemort has never been truly powerful and invincible. It's just that most people in the British wizarding world were shocked by his cruel killing methods.
If I were living more than ten years ago, I would definitely come up with various ways to kill it.
For example, tons of high explosives were obtained from the Muggle world, and large-caliber Gatling rotating tube Vulcan cannons that could fire thousands of bullets a minute;
Another example is rocket launchers, missiles, white phosphorus incendiary bombs, napalm bombs, thermobaric bombs, poison gas bombs...
Many of these weapons are so powerful that there is no need to aim, and there is no need to spend time and energy looking for the secret keeper, or confirming where the opponent's stronghold is.
Just aim at a certain location and throw it from the sky.
In short, there are many weapons in the Muggle world that are far more powerful than most spells and can kill Voldemort and his men.
The only thing that needs to be done is to set a trap and eliminate them and the Death Eaters once and for all.
Even if you don’t succeed once, you can try again a second or third time.
I don't believe how many people dare to become a member of the Death Eaters and continue to serve them after experiencing several such counterattacks.
Even if Voldemort himself escapes by chance, the power of his men will be greatly reduced, and he will no longer dare to use Apparition unscrupulously to kill wizards who dare to pronounce his name.
In fact, Voldemort used the power of fear and the cowardice of human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
He placed a curse on his name and asked Death Eaters or himself to attack and kill anyone who dared to pronounce this name, just to make everyone lose their will to resist in extreme fear.
It was as if a murderer suddenly appeared with a knife stained with the victim's blood.
There were obviously many people around, and as long as a few stood up, they could be subdued, but because they were too scared, they all ended up running away.
Then the murderers caught up and killed them one by one.
So as long as you ignore the terrifying atmosphere created by Voldemort, he himself is just a slightly more powerful and evil dark wizard. There is no essential difference from other wizards, and he is not that difficult to kill."
"Did you learn this in the Muggle world?"
The corner of Snape's mouth twitched inadvertently.
In order to better understand the troubled student in front of him, he bought a few books and magazines during the Christmas vacation to gain a general understanding of the development and changes in the Muggle world in the past ten years.
It is impossible to know anything about the weapons used in modern warfare.
I just never expected Zuo Si to be so cruel.
If the last Wizarding War had been led by this young man, Voldemort and his Death Eaters might have all died long ago.
Maybe more than 70% of the pure-blood families in the British wizarding world will be swept directly into the garbage dump of history.
"So be it. You should know that wars in the Muggle world are more bloody and cruel than wars in the wizarding world.
Therefore, the power of weapons has become more and more terrifying with the development of the two world wars.
Especially in terms of lethality, it has long surpassed most magic spells.
Therefore, if you really want to eliminate a person, it is actually simpler and more crude to use firearms, explosives and bombs than using magic spells."
Zuo Si explained nonchalantly.
Unfortunately, these modern explosives and weapons are not very effective in Faerûn, which is filled with magical energy.
During the Christmas vacation, he took several grenades, shotguns and other thermal weapons to test their power, and found that any chemical reaction that did not involve magical energy would inevitably be weakened to varying degrees.
Unless the one-time charge is particularly large, like those big iron cans filled with liquid hydrogen and oxygen, the effect is far less effective than going directly to the "Holy Ball of Physics".
In order to find out the reason, Zuo Si also spent a lot of money to buy a musket made by Faerun's native dwarfs, and then discovered that this thing was actually a magic alchemy item.
Yes!
Faerun's muskets and what modern people think of as muskets on Earth are completely different things. Even the formulas of gunpowder are very different.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
In addition, due to the large number of magical equipment and protective spells, non-magical weapons are not effective in actual combat.
Especially for something that is extremely hard and protected by a magic force field like dragon scales, as long as it is a non-magical weapon, even if you use a large-caliber machine gun to shoot continuously at a point, it will not leave even the slightest scratch on it.<
/p>
Therefore, although the dwarves invented the musket a long time ago, it is not very popular in Faerûn, and there are even fewer adventurers willing to use it as a main weapon.
On the one hand, not all cities can buy projectiles and gunpowder, so it is very troublesome to replenish them, which is far less convenient than a crossbow;
On the other hand, the difficulty of enchanting a small bullet is many times higher than that of enchanting a slender arrow.
If you don't use mithril, fine gold and the like to make projectiles, it is basically impossible to penetrate a protective force field that can withstand non-magical damage.
But if mithril and fine gold are used to make projectiles, the cost is really too high.
If you add in the cost of asking an arcane or divine spellcaster to enchant it, it would be more cost-effective to use enchanted arrows.
Among them, a few magic crossbows with level 3 or above are used with special arrows, and their terrifying penetrating power can even penetrate the trunks of several towering trees.
Under the influence of magical power, the kinetic energy generated by the tension of the crossbow is compensated to the maximum extent compared to the serious lack of propulsive force generated by the burning and expansion of gunpowder.
That's why there is a strange phenomenon in the continent of Faerûn that muskets have been unable to replace bows and crossbows as the mainstream weapon.
Snape obviously didn't know what Zuo Si did during the short two weeks of Christmas vacation. He subconsciously frowned and reminded: "I admit that what I just said makes sense. But please remember
, you are only a first-year student at Hogwarts now. Although you have achieved success that countless adult wizards cannot achieve in their lifetime, there are some things that are better not to be said easily."
"Don't worry, professor. I understand what I should say to whom. But for you, I am willing to give you 100% trust." Zuo Si responded meaningfully.
There is no doubt that these words instantly made Snape's eyes flash with emotion, but it soon turned into a look of disgust.
"Okay, don't talk about these useless nonsense here. Go back to the dormitory and rest. I don't want to see you yawning from sleepiness in potions class tomorrow."
"Good night, professor."
Zuo Si put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, then turned and walked towards the Slytherin common room.
After he was completely gone, Snape quickly walked into the principal's office and reported to Dumbledore, who had been waiting for a long time: "As you expected, a fight broke out between Soth and that man."p>
"What was the result?"
Dumbledore asked without raising his head while wiping his glasses.
"It seems that Soth should have taken advantage of it. But in order not to arouse his vigilance, I did not ask for details." Snape expressed his inference with a serious face.
Because if Voldemort gains the upper hand, then Quirinus Quirrell should be the first to come back.
"Is he not injured?" Dumbledore asked with a slightly concerned tone.
Snape thought for a moment and immediately shook his head: "Probably not. You know, he is very skilled in healing and recovery spells. He is also proficient in the preparation of many advanced potions. Even if he is injured, he can recover in a short time.
As before. Compared with this, I am more worried about Quirrell's current state."
"Don't worry, he will come back alive. Because Tom knows many ways to escape death." Dumbledore said meaningfully.
To be continued...
