Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 86 The Inspiration of the Four Giants
After listening to Levi's idea, Helena lowered her head and pondered quietly for a long time.

Suddenly, she slowly raised her head and said to Li Wei:

"You truly are a genuine Slytherin."

"So? Was the deal struck? Or did you reject it?"

"If you can really do what you promise—I think I have no reason to refuse."

At this moment, all the fierceness on Helena's face disappeared, leaving only a gentle beauty that complemented the moonlight.

“Once you complete the space where you punished the Blood Man Barrow, I will tell you the location of the crown as per the deal.”

"As for now, would you please join me in appreciating the moonlight?"

Li Wei looked up—he had just noticed that the moon was indeed quite nice tonight. Perhaps it was because he was currently at the top of the tower, giving him a better view?
The bright moon shines before me, accompanied by a beautiful female ghost.

Li Wei quietly admired the moon for a while, but still couldn't help asking:
"What kind of person is Ms. Rowena? Can you tell me about her?"

"I hope you can keep quiet for now."

"."

Seeing that Helena didn't respond, Li Wei simply started to study lightning magic while looking at the moon—he quietly stimulated his right palm with lightning, feeling the tingling and numb sensation coming from his palm, and imagining the lightning gradually penetrating into the surface of his body and stimulating the muscle fibers.

Magic is the ability to make your wishes come true.

After becoming a legendary wizard, he gained the ability to turn fantasy into reality—he didn't need to fully understand the effects of lightning on the body; all he needed was a certain amount of logic and imagination, and everything else would happen spontaneously.

To put it concretely, at this moment he needs to formulate a conceptual symbol—to find lightning runes that can have a positive effect on him by constantly providing small stimulation to his body.

Building on this step, he can stimulate his body with lightning runes to increase strength and speed, and even stimulate his nerves to accelerate nerve conduction and improve reaction speed.

This is destined to be a slow process of improvement, but since Li Wei has understood this, he is naturally not in a hurry and has plenty of patience.

Helena, who was standing to the side, nodded in satisfaction when she saw that he had really quieted down.

But shortly afterward, she suddenly spoke again:
"my mother."

Her voice was so soft it sounded like a sigh.

"Her life was the life of a wise woman—she seemed to be born with the ability to think, so much so that no magic held any mystery for her, but rather was like an unlocked treasure trove, which she could freely take from."

"She often told me that magic originates from the wizard's heart, and spells and gestures are merely the 'melody' and 'rhythm' that guide the inner power."

A truly powerful wizard should understand the deeper reasons behind magic, not merely use it.

A thought struck Li Wei—wasn't this very close to his own ideas?

Focus on the logic behind magic, rather than relying solely on imagination.

He couldn't help but press further:
"Is there a more specific explanation?"

"I don't really understand these things either; I can only tell you my mother's exact words."

"For example, Salazar Slytherin, who was born knowing Parsley, was actually a manifestation of a deep resonance with magic—being able to understand the language of snakes was just the most superficial outward appearance."

The deeper impact lies in the fact that he can project his mind and resonate with emotions through this method, allowing him to feel the cold and ancient wisdom emanating from the snake.

At the same time, he can also elevate his will through this higher form of domination; whether it's mental control or mental pressure, this type of magic holds no secret for him.

“I see—I never expected Parsleyan to have this effect—Ms. Rowena is truly a wise woman.” Levi nodded seriously, his tone full of admiration.

Helena smiled as she saw him listening attentively and genuinely praising her mother, recalling his previous cold and rude attitude towards her.

Perfect timing, she really hadn't talked to anyone in a long time, so she might as well talk more.

"And my mother, Rowena Ravenclaw, was best known for her understanding of the mind and the soul."

She believed that the wizard's mind was the most exquisite magical creation in the world.

A wise and insightful mind can distort reality and give magic a new form.

The moving staircases she created, the magic books whose content changed according to the students' knowledge, and even the core principles behind them, were not forcibly 'shaped' objects with magic.

She simply used her wisdom to persuade reality, allowing it to naturally present itself as she desired.

Li Wei listened, completely absorbed.

This passage cleared up many vague ideas in his mind.

Just a few hours ago, he was still thinking about how to give the practice problem book more advanced and complex functions.

However, if we follow Ravenclaw's line of thinking, perhaps he doesn't need to use alchemy to forcibly "create" a core with complex functions, but instead tries to build a knowledge framework that can learn and evolve on its own, allowing the Codex to continuously optimize itself.

For example, the issue of difficulty weighting in multiple-choice questions that he previously struggled with—in fact, he didn't need to determine the difficulty weighting himself.

Simply modify the underlying logic of the guide and add inductive and deductive functions.

When students use the guide via extension, their every answer, every hesitation, and every mistake is summarized. In this way, the guide itself can determine which wrong answers are highly deceptive and which are extremely easy to identify.

He could even discard those ridiculously easy answers that no students chose and reinterpret them as new ones.

The more Li Wei thought, the brighter his eyes became.

He had even figured out how to do it—he just needed to input a large amount of core textbook information into the manual, and then integrate his own spiritual will, and the manual itself would be able to make a certain judgment.

His previous actions could only be described as forging alchemical items, but those items did not possess any of his personal characteristics.

"It seems you've already figured something out—truly enviable wisdom."

Helena sensed Levi's excitement and spoke with a resentful tone.

"No wonder even your mother's crown couldn't make you lose your composure. You already possess enough wisdom to naturally not be as fanatical about such things as others."

"No, I am certainly interested in the crown—wisdom is something that can never be fully exhausted, so the more the better."

"You truly are a genuine Slytherin."

"Is that so? Then the true Slytherins should hurry up and achieve their goals."

Levi leaped from the top of the tower, waving goodbye to Helena with his back turned.

Helena watched his departing figure silently, standing there for a long time.

"What a heartless man."

Under the moonlight, the ghost's voice was softly uttered, blending into the moonlight.
