Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

After finishing the business, Professor McGonagall asked, "Is there anything else you want to know?"

Mikel was about to shake his head when suddenly a task reminder popped up on the system panel in front of him.

[Contact with high-level pollutants that you have met before and gain a source of power from them]

Mikel's eyes flickered slightly. The high-level pollutant referred to here should be the one he found in the desert.

But what is the so-called "source of power"?
He asked himself in his mind, and the system quickly gave an answer.

[High-level pollutants came to the wizard world from the evil god world. The forces of the two worlds collided and transformed, leaving behind special powers.

This power can be used not only in the wizard world, but also in the world of evil gods.

Once the source of power is obtained, it will help the host to explore the mysteries of the evil god world and protect himself.]

Mikel thought to himself, "Then how can I obtain this source of power?"

[Contact with high-level pollutants, the system has its own way to absorb it]

Because this is a task issued by the system, only after Mikel accepts it can he get more detailed requirements and the subsequent steps to complete it.

The completion step is for the system to make an optimal task detail route based on his current situation.

Mikel has taken on this type of task before, which was to complete the small tasks issued by the system step by step, and finally complete the initial task.

Every time you complete a small task, you will receive a reward. Even if the final big task is not successful, it will still be a generous profit based on the small tasks accumulated before.

The most important thing is that this is one of the few channels for him to gain a large amount of system experience points.

Because he has not accepted the task yet, the system can only give him a brief overview.

Mikel hesitated.

Although he had been exposed to high-level pollutants, he was not in close contact with them, but he could already feel the horror of those pollutants.

He was a little worried that if he couldn't access the high-level pollutants stored by the authorities, the system would require him to find a completely new high-level pollutant, which would be a waste of time.

The system seemed to have sensed his thoughts, and a line of words slowly appeared on the panel.

[If the host senses danger, he can terminate the mission at any time, and the mission rewards previously obtained will be retained.

The mission will change with the changes in the host's surrounding environment. It is not fixed and is mainly to assist the host.]

Mikkel looked at his experience points which were almost regressing to the first grade.

With so little experience, it is impossible to exchange anything useful from the system, not even a small improved attack spell.

Not to mention what the system was thinking, Mikel himself felt that his own safety was in danger.

Earning experience points is urgent, and fortune is achieved through risk. Mikel finally accepted the task issued by the system.

"Mikel?"

Came Professor McGonagall's puzzled voice.

Mikel came back to his senses and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, professor, I was a little distracted just now.

I think about the days when I narrowly escaped death in the desert village, and now when I close my eyes when I sleep, I still dream about the memory of that day from time to time. "

Professor McGonagall's face was touched. "I'm sorry, Mikel. I'm sorry for what you've been through."

Mikkel shook his head. "It's none of your business, Professor. We all know where the problem came from. And I survived in the end, but some people are sleeping there forever. I feel sad for them."

As he spoke, he accepted the task issued by the system in his mind.

The system quickly gave him a small task, which was to gain Professor McGonagall's sympathy and attention and apply to join the patrol team.

Mikel's seemingly sad expression changed, becoming serious and solemn, with a firm look in his eyes.

"Professor, I don't want to see innocent wizards die in front of me anymore. I want to hone myself. I wonder if I can take on some patrol missions that outstanding students can do in school?"

Professor McGonagall thought for a while and did not immediately agree to Mikel's request.

In her eyes, Mikel was just a little better than the average student, but far from reaching the elite standard.

If Mikel had not passed the assessment for outstanding students and survived the high-level pollutants, Mag would not have been able to sense how high Mikel's magical talent was just from his past performance.

If she really had any impression, it was from the third grade semester.

Mikel suddenly excelled in every subject, and his attack magic was accurate and more powerful than that cast by ordinary students.

It is a good thing for students to be motivated, and they should not be suppressed by force.

Professor McGonagall initially rejected the idea of ​​adding him to the patrol.

"Mikel, I understand your anger and anxiety, but this month is not a good time for you to participate in patrols. When school reopens, I will arrange for you to participate in weekly patrols."

"As for your desire to hone yourself, I actually think that with your current age and level of magic, you are already very good.

When I was young, I couldn't be as good as you.

You might as well calm down, read more magic books, and build your own magical literacy, which will be very helpful for your future path."

Professor McGonagall suddenly emphasized, "As for your request for compensation from the Ministry of Magic, I will follow up on this matter and implement it for you as soon as possible."

Mikel's expression changed slightly. Professor McGonagall repeatedly emphasized the need to demand compensation from the Ministry of Magic. Could it be that as his power increases, he will have to deal with this matter?
Before leaving, he did not forget to thank the professor for recommending those magic books, and said sincerely:

"After reading it, I realized that my understanding of magic is very superficial. The composition and origin of magic are so mysterious. If I could have been exposed to this knowledge earlier, perhaps my magic literacy could have been improved to a higher level."

Professor McGonagall smiled faintly, "If you get in touch with it too early, you won't understand it. Now is the best age to get in touch with it."

……

Lin Xia's learning of ancient magic texts has soared rapidly after she solved the difficult problem of complex and obscure intermediate magic spells.

Intermediate spells are very long, complicated in structure, and use a lot of ancient magic words.

Unfortunately, there may be more than a dozen or even dozens of interpretations behind a single ancient Chinese word, and there is no fixed combination to explain a certain proper noun. This results in many people finding it difficult to make any progress after reaching the intermediate level of ancient Chinese literature.

However, this only applies to wizards who have some talent in ancient magic runes.

Generally speaking, if you have a talent for ancient magic texts, you can get started.

Don't underestimate the entry threshold, it knocks down 99% of wizards who have no talent at all.

Most of those who have some talent will fail at the intermediate level.

The vast amount of ancient demonic knowledge at the intermediate level alone would take them a lifetime to learn, and breakthroughs would often only occur when they reached middle age or old age.

But at that age, even if he broke through and entered the study of advanced classical Chinese, he no longer had the energy to keep up.

But Lin Xia's learning speed cannot be viewed with common sense. She is not just slightly gifted, but gifted.

His basic magic talent is excellent, and after being transformed by the Philosopher's Stone and the Scales of Fate, he even possesses the "Magic - Semi-Immortality" form.

If Lin Xia could switch to this form to learn the ancient magic runes, he would be able to reach a rapid learning speed much earlier.

In this form, the structures in her body are almost entirely made up of magic runes. She does not need to study the "Compendium of Ancient Magic Runes and Spells" given by Babeling. She only needs to study the mysteries within her body.

Even a piece of nail, a drop of blood, or a small piece of skin can be used to gain profound knowledge of ancient magic.

Lin Xia also knew clearly that her current form was very mysterious.

Once you enter, not only will your body undergo special changes, but the power of your spells will also be greatly enhanced, and your overall physical fitness will soar.

So she always uses it as a trump card.

It will not be used unless it is absolutely necessary.

Due to years of caution and a mysterious intuition in her heart, she believed that this form could not be exposed to others, as it contained many secrets that she did not know.

Only when she thoroughly understands the mystery of this form, or when she possesses strong enough military force and no one can threaten her, perhaps she will use it openly.

So even though Lin Xia knew that his semi-immortal form was mysterious and unusual, he did not dare to show it in Hogwarts to study himself, for fear that he would be discovered by the powerful wizards hidden in the school.

She could only absorb relevant knowledge about ancient magic code from the outside world to fill herself up.

Although this seems troublesome, it may not be a bad thing.

Many things cannot be rushed. Trying to achieve success overnight will only add a lot of hardships out of thin air.

Acquiring knowledge step by step and through hardships can actually eliminate many potential risks.

This is both cultivation and cultivation of the mind.

And even if she didn't switch to this form, her ancient magic talent was still greatly improved.

She was already very talented, and after this level of improvement, she became extremely outstanding.

Babel lived for many years, and during that long period of time, she saw one wizard after another who were hailed as "geniuses" by people.

Among them were Dumbledore, Tom Riddle, and Grindelwald... She had met all these characters before.

Among these countless geniuses, she believed that no student could match Lin Xia's talent in ancient magic runes.

That's why she invested resources in training Lin Xia.

And now, the reason why Lin Xia was able to break through the threshold of intermediate ancient magic rune was that his excellent talent for ancient magic rune and his outstanding memory played a role.

Originally, she was studying one spell after another. These intermediate ancient magic spells were very long, difficult to pronounce, and some of them even took several minutes to recite before casting.

Not a single word can be wrong, and even the rise and fall of the voice are restricted.

So learning is very difficult at the beginning.

But when she accumulated dozens of intermediate ancient magic spells in her mind, she suddenly found that the ancient magic spells that were previously obscure and incomprehensible became clear.

The greatest difficulty of ancient magic words lies in their interpretation. Some have dozens of meanings, and you don’t know which meaning is used in this spell.

Therefore, we can only look at the spell from an overall perspective to find out its meaning, rather than interpreting it segment by segment.

But after Lin Xia accumulated a large enough collection of ancient magic spells in her mind, she discovered that the meanings of many ancient magic spells were not chaotic and could be traced.

Although it cannot be completely fixed into one meaning when combined with other ancient magic words, the scope of interpretation can be narrowed down to several.

After eliminating dozens of other interpretations, the remaining few interpretations can be pieced together with several other interpretations to form new interpretations.

Once the ancient magic words are pieced together, they can lose several meanings.

So in Lin Xia's eyes, these intermediate ancient magic words are actually doing subtraction, just like playing Candy Crush Saga.

She immediately felt the joy of learning.

By inserting various interpretations that have been cut countless times into the spell, she can almost instantly know what the spell does and what capabilities it has.

With this method of reducing interpretations, her efficiency in learning intermediate ancient magic spells was greatly improved.

After she completely broke through all the intermediate ancient magic spells, Lin Xia walked to the window and looked at the bright sunshine outside.

At this time, the scenery outside the window turned into the hot beach style of Hawaii, and I could feel the heat outside through the window.

She saw many lush trees and an ocean with turquoise and blue hues not far away.

Under the influence of the supersensory spell, she could see the small creatures swimming around on the seabed. The scales, gills, and fins of the fish were all clearly visible.

Lin Xia watched this scene deeply.

In her perception, the scenery outside the window is all real.

No matter how she used her extrasensory perception, she couldn't find anything out of place.

Then the problem is coming.

If the scenery outside the window is real, then doesn't that mean the space she is in is always wandering?
If all the illusions she thought were real, then only the space where she was was a special place.

Lin Xia actually gradually realized that she could easily enter a state of concentration when studying. She studied regardless of day or night and did not pay special attention to the passage of time.

This should be due to some kind of mental magic that makes people concentrate.

Not only that, Lin Xia found that her physical strength was not consumed much in this space.

She often neglected sleep and food when studying, but her body never sounded the alarm.

Thinking of this, Lin Xia shifted his gaze and looked at the "Compendium of Ancient Magic Spells" placed on the table, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

This book is not simple either.

It consciously led her to think more deeply, which she felt as she read.

Without the guidance of the book, it might take her some time to completely break through the intermediate magic runes. This book serves as a good teacher.

It always follows her wishes and displays the ancient magic text she needs, without the need to manually turn the pages.

Of course, after Lin Xia has finished learning a page of information, she will still choose to turn the page. This is a sense of ritual.

Take a short break, empty your mind, and adjust your body and mind to a clear and peaceful state.

She sat down at her desk again and started looking through new knowledge.

This time, she was going to learn the advanced ancient magic spell. (End of this chapter)
