Chapter 135 The Guardian of Ancient Magic
The memory still shows this exquisite and gorgeous house, but it is covered with a layer of gray gauze.
Two wizards dressed in more ancient clothes are constantly changing spells to fill in the details of this house. The exquisite spires rise like spirals, and they are like gods.
The two wizards are one fat and one thin, one tall and one short. The short and fat one is the ancestor of Rookwood, and the other one is named Percival Rackham. Cyrus has never heard of this surname, but Percival and Dumbledore have the same middle name.
Not only that, this name also belongs to King Arthur's second Knight of the Round Table.
In memory, Rookwood expressed concern about Percival setting up such a complex and complicated level, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and they cast secret magic one by one.
[Are you worried that no one can pass? Don't worry, this is originally prepared for those who can see ancient magic like us. ] Percival said softly while saving his memory in a bottle.
Cyrus listened to their conversation and watched them cast spells. To him, all these spells had traces.
But he still didn't understand where the advantages of ancient magic were. The same degree of deformation seemed to be achieved by ordinary deformation.
Just as he was wondering, a voice suddenly came from behind.
"The key lies in greater power and longer retention."
Cyrus turned around quickly, but saw that the two wizards in his memory spoke to him as if they had souls.
"And it must be more mysterious."
The two wizards were no longer just memories at this moment, but more like the state Cyrus was in the diary at that time. This made Cyrus immediately alert.
Who knows what kind of world this is? Maybe these guards are bad guys who do all kinds of evil in this world.
"Don't worry, we are just a thought." Percival seemed to see Cyrus's concerns and immediately answered, "Just like a portrait."
"I haven't heard that the memory in the Pensieve can have a certain thinking ability like a portrait." Cyrus certainly won't let down his guard because of a sentence.
Now he even regretted using the Pensieve. If he had used his ability to view memories directly, he would have had more room for maneuver.
‘I was still a little careless. ’
Fortunately, Percival and Rookwood did not do anything out of the ordinary, but continued to explain.
“Ancient magic has a very powerful power that allows us to do things that ordinary wizards cannot do.” Percival said.
In fact, he can even be said to be very humble.
Wizards with ancient magic talents look at ordinary wizards in the same way as they look at Muggles. Ordinary wizards can't even see ancient magic, let alone crack it.
The difference is very big.
It's like Muggles have the ability to build an exquisite castle on the beach, but for wizards, they can do it by just waving their wands.
In other words, ancient magic can do everything that ordinary magic can do, and ancient magic can do everything that ordinary magic can't do!
“Don't tell me that you went to so much trouble to leave so many tests just to keep a memory?” Cyrus asked.
In fact, according to the plot of "Legacy", there is almost nothing in the vault No. 12 except a bunch of tests, and the memories they left behind only prove the fact that ancient magic exists.
"Of course it's not just that." Rookwood shook his head and said, "Ancient magic is very dangerous, so we need to keep it strictly. We need to confirm whether your heart can become a guardian in addition to your ability."
Speaking of qualifications, both Percival and Rookwood showed unspeakable emotions in their eyes, as if they had made a mistake because of this.
Cyrus was not very worried about this. Speaking of character, although he was not that good, at least he would not eat more than 500 big melons every day.
"Moreover, such protection is obviously necessary." Percival said, "Because more than a hundred years ago, a goblin tried to get his hands on the power of ancient magic. He even arrived at this secret vault, but ultimately returned empty-handed."
"Lanlock? Where did he go?"
"Not sure, maybe he died under the giant sword guarding the stone statue. Our consciousness only exists in the Pensieve, and we are not so clear about other things." Percival said uncertainly.
"The only thing that can be confirmed is that if ancient magic falls into the hands of goblins or people with ulterior motives, then the magic world will definitely face a huge crisis."
Cyrus agreed with this point.
But if that was all, this trip to Vault No. 12 would have been too disappointing for him.
He got almost nothing. He already knew about the existence of ancient magic, so there was no need to confirm it again.
As if seeing what Cyrus was thinking, Percival and Rookwood smiled at each other and continued, "You must be wondering why we went to so much trouble to not store ancient magic in the secret vault. In fact, ancient magic itself flows in the magic power of your body."
"It flows in my body?"
"Of course, young wizards don't have magic power after going to Hogwarts, but they have magic power themselves, so they are qualified to go to Hogwarts. The same is true for ancient magic. It is because you have this talent that you are standing here now."
"But how can I stimulate its power?"
"You just need to feel the difference." Percival said intoxicatedly, "Feel the two completely different magics, and you will find that it is so obvious that even if you just cast the most ordinary spells, you can enhance its power.
"Think about the original form you have cast, why can it break the barrier of ancient magic? This is because you contain two kinds of magic at the same time as you release the spell. Now you have to find out the difference between them and transform the first one into the magic of ancient magic."
Cyrus closed his eyes to feel, but it didn't have much effect.
"It's not that easy, right? However, I think the test we left behind can help you a little. Moreover, as for how to use the power of ancient magic well, it will only be shown to you after completing the test. "
"Test? "
"There are four tests set by the four guardians of ancient magic. But I think you may need to find a book first. It is placed in the Knowledge Pavilion of Hogwarts."
"The Knowledge Pavilion?" Cyrus only knew a little about the plot of "Legacy", and this Knowledge Pavilion was a place he had never heard of.
"You will find it in Hogwarts."
The memory ended.
