Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

Chapter 178 Young People's Inspiration

"Professor, you mentioned earlier that we need to make this half-finished magic more stable, right?"

“That’s right, but the method still needs to be explored.”

"Hermione and I tried it according to your conjecture. The magic power was consumed drastically in a very short period of time and then collapsed."

"Yes, Professor, and the speed is not much faster." Hermione added, and took out a notebook filled with a very detailed analysis of the reasons for failure.

Lin En said in an appreciative tone: "Talk about your ideas."

"We think..." Percy paused and said stiffly, "We think your guess may be biased and should be adjusted."

"Compared to shaping, constructing a dynamic circulation structure may be more conducive to manipulating the air and can also reduce magic power consumption."

Hermione drew out her wand and skillfully drew a pattern in the air, as if she had mastered the little magic that Lynn taught her to perfection.

"Circular structure..." Lin En raised his lips slightly, "Very interesting, what is the basis for it?"

"You said that this magic has been passed down from ancient Greece to the present day. Perhaps it originated from the dark wizard Herpo. So I have a guess - wizards of that era often referred to things in nature when creating magic, just like the totem worship you told us about."

Percy said as he rummaged around in his backpack. "And last year... uh, no, I found some Muggle technologies very inspiring in my previous observations. Hermione also gave me a lot of references and suggestions."

"And you have repeatedly emphasized to us the concept of cycles required to maintain the spell. We think they should be connected."

Hermione said half nervously and half expectantly, "But we can't use this magic now, so I want to ask you for advice."

"Can't use it for the time being..."

Lin En pondered, and the two little wizards were also worried.

Just when the two were extremely nervous, a smile of relief appeared in his eyes.

“I think this is a very valuable idea and worth a try.”

The wand was raised, and gentle magic immediately flowed out like a stream.

Following the configuration that Hermione had previously sketched, it took Lynn only a few moments to complete a replica that was beyond the capabilities of both of them.

It is neither a wing nor a simple airflow like Helbo, but a circle of magical power.

The flowing air squeezes each other in the ring, circulates, and rushes in all directions driven by magic.

"That's it, Professor!" Hermione jumped up from her chair happily. "We've never been able to control it."

"Well, I understand. It is indeed difficult. Your magic control is not sophisticated enough." Lin En said gently, as if he had discovered a new gadget. "Let us test its effect. You can try it too."

Two rings appeared on Percy and Hermione's waists at the same time, air surged, and then there was a gentle push, like an invisible big hand slowly lifting them up into the air.

However, before they could be happy, the delicate balance was instantly destroyed as soon as they moved their legs slightly.

The air circulation became turbulent and disordered as if encountering a huge storm. The two people in the air suddenly lost their balance and fell down.

"ah!"

Hermione cried out unconsciously, her eyes tightly shut, her brows furrowed in preparation for the collision.

But the expected pain did not come, only a soft touch - it was the leather cushion of the chair.

She opened her eyes tentatively and met Lynn's gaze.

"I must admit, you have quite a voice, Hermione."

"Sorry..." Hermione blushed and lowered her head. She was indeed a little scared just now.

"Maybe you could try Quidditch, maybe it can improve your sense of balance." Percy made a little joke, but soon became serious again, sitting upright in his chair, lost in thought.

He was thinking about the reason why the originally stable airflow structure was destroyed, and also thinking about the reason why the shapeless air that should have been easily controllable suddenly got out of control, but he couldn't find the answer for a while.

"Do you need me to give you an answer?" Lin En said with a smile, "I have also thought about this question of yours."

"Have you known about this drawback a long time ago, Professor?" Hermione was very surprised. "Then why didn't you... I understand. You want us to discover the problem through personal experience."

"That's it, Hermione, and I don't think this idea is unfeasible, it just requires a lot of work." Lynn nodded approvingly, raised the wand above his head, and created a magic circle again.

The previous problem repeats itself again. As long as the ring moves and deflects, it will break due to imbalance.

From static to dynamic, the difficulty of maintaining balance is incomparable.

This situation left the two of them at a loss - even after watching it several times, they couldn't find a solution.

"I suggest you work with Cedric and Penelope, as well as Pavla. The three of them are very good at the refined use of magic, and perhaps they can work with you to find the answer to this question. By the way, there is no standard answer to magic, don't forget that."

Lynn leisurely put away his wand and did not rush them to find the answer, but instead gave new hints.

To these young students, answers themselves are just empty results; the process of collaborative exploration is the real treasure.

-----------------

On the eighth floor of the castle, in the Room of Requirement, in a simple study.

Boyce and Andrew sat next to each other, with several corrected test papers on the table.

One is terrible, and the other is almost a standard answer.

"You're such a fool, Boyce!" Doris poked Boyce's head hard. "I should have gone to play with the professor earlier. What a waste of my time!"

"I tried my best... Professor, this memory magic fragment is really hard to learn..." Boyce said aggrievedly. These days, the usually cheerful and optimistic class leader has been exhausted and speaks weakly.

"The professor is right. We should not be too polite to an illiterate person like you!" Doris gritted her teeth. "I should just give you Oblivion and let you start from scratch."

Andrew couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he whispered, "Don't be like this, Doris. The powerful memory magic that Boyce is in charge of is indeed very difficult. It's probably more complicated than forgetting and hiding. It's not as simple as it looks."

But Doris didn't buy it. She just glared at the two of them fiercely, sat on the desk with her arms folded across her chest, looking very imposing.

"You should speak for him. If he can't handle this magic, the club will have the first unlucky person who can't get seven certificates in the OWLs exam."

Andrew was a little overwhelmed by the intimidating aura, and Boyce turned directly into a trembling quail.

It seems that both the review for the exam and the research and exploration of ancient magic will take some time.

But this is also Lin En's purpose - some magic, such as the ancient memory magic that Lockhart obtained by coincidence, is tasteless and a pity to him, but it is just suitable for the level of these outstanding students. Not only can it improve their research ability, but it can also give them some reference and reference, which is killing two birds with one stone.

Without the basilisk and the secret chamber, this spring is still full of various events and trials, but they are no longer dangerous.

The lights in the room flickered, and the student's hard study would probably continue until very late.

-----------------

Not long after, watching the two assistants leave, Lin En slowly leaned back on the cushion behind him, thinking.

Young people's wild imagination often brings a lot of inspiration to adults with stereotyped ideas.

Although their plans sometimes seem immature and green, and even full of mistakes.

But he had to admit that he was delighted and touched by Percy and Hermione's insight.

He took out the slate again, and the intricate patterns on it seemed to have a more unusual meaning, becoming more vivid.

Just as he was about to continue his research, a white light seeped out from the wall, followed by the figure of Helena Ravenclaw.

"Oh no, Eric, Inès has fainted!"

Helena's voice trembled slightly, and she, who was always expressionless, was now filled with anxiety.

Chapter 179 Anger and Remnant Soul

A moment later, Inès's living room.

"So your research method is to wear this thing on your head?"

Looking at Ines who had fainted on the carpet, Lynn's brows were furrowed, and a low pressure was spreading around him.

"I, I, I...we thought it was broken, it won't...it will be okay..."

Helena tried to explain, but her voice got lower and lower, and her tone became weaker and weaker.

She also knew that she was in trouble again.

Lin En sighed: "What can I say to you guys? Why hasn't Dumbledore come yet?"

"He's not here... I don't know where he went..." Helena approached fearfully, "Is she okay?"

"You yourself once held Rowena's crown, don't you know its purpose?" Lin En asked, "Now it seems that although the magic circuit has been destroyed, its effect is still partially retained - incompleteness often means danger."

He squatted down, forcefully took off the crown from Inès's head, and drew out his wand to touch her forehead.

After a burst of whispering, the worry in Lin En's eyes turned into a hint of annoyance mixed with helplessness.

"Fortunately, she is a powerful wizard, otherwise you would have been greeted by a fool." He looked at Helena who was speechless, and said in a serious tone, "I thought I had advised you to be careful. You haven't had enough of the past-"

"Uh... um..."

Ines frowned while she was sleeping. As consciousness returned to her brain, she slowly opened her eyes, full of confusion.

"Lin...Lin En? Why...are you here?"

Her memory still remained at the moment when she put on the crown. The automatic protection mechanism of her brain made her fall into a coma almost instantly. Even so, it was as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer. Her entire spiritual world was in chaos, and her eyes were full of strange scenes and colors.

"If I don't come over, you will be turned into an idiot by the magic above, just like this floating thing." Lin En rolled his eyes at Ines unhappily, pointed the magic wand at her forehead, and said, "Lie still, close your eyes, and clear your mind."

“Oh…” Inès didn’t understand, but did as she was told obediently. Helena, who was always proud and arrogant, didn’t dare to speak and could only watch Lin En chanting the spell.

"In the name of Igor, Green Soul!"

With Lin En's best efforts in protecting her with his magical powers, the soft green light seeped into Ines' body like a sweet rain after a long drought, nourishing her spiritual world that had been severely depleted in a short period of time and mending the invisible cracks.

The consciousness that should have been complete became fragmented at this moment. The witch's mind seemed to have become a battlefield full of holes, with memory fragments dancing wildly everywhere. Some were her own, and some were "aliens" of unknown origin. They were full of restless emotions, and even she, who was proficient in brain occlusion, could not cope with it.

Even Lin En, who is skilled and courageous, must be cautious and use the magic derived from ancient Eastern European legends to the fullest extent, concentrating all his energy and not daring to be careless or negligent in the slightest.

Fortunately, Igor's mental repair magic was quite effective in conditioning and guiding, and Ines' own magic power and will also played a key role. Coupled with the protection and isolation brought by the momentary coma, no disaster occurred.

Even so, the intense pain made her sweat all over. She bit her lips tightly, and her white teeth almost bit into them.

It was nearly half an hour before Lynn moved the wand away from her forehead. By then, a human-shaped mark had been left on the carpet under Inès.

"Take a break, then explain the situation clearly."

Exhausted, Lin En sat down on the sofa, breathing heavily, with a very dissatisfied tone.

In fact, just now, in Ine's defenseless brain, he already knew the cause and effect of the matter, but in order to teach these two guys who conducted experiments without considering the consequences a lesson, he still kept a stern face and looked at them coldly.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Ines looked like she had been fished out of the water. She was extremely weak, with only her chest rising and falling slightly.

After gasping for a long time, she struggled to get up from the ground, stumbled into the armchair, her eyes blurred.

"My analysis... was wrong." She said tiredly, "I thought that the damaged part was the core and the rest was nothing to worry about. Now it seems that it is not only the core, but also the key to controlling the strength... As soon as I put it on, I felt like my head was going to explode."

“I thought we had discussed it clearly and reached a consensus.” Lynn said slowly, his eyes moving back and forth between Helena and Ines, making them feel creepy.

"...I'm sorry." Inès lowered her head sadly and admitted her mistake. Helena also lowered her head embarrassedly.

"You should be grateful for your good luck," Lynn casually threw a metal rune with the symbol of Joy Rune Wujiu engraved on it, "Wear it with you. You are prohibited from using or touching magic within a week. Go to Madam Pomfrey for a check every day." After that, he picked up the crown on the ground, stood up and prepared to leave.

"No, Lynn, wait a minute!"

Seeing that he left without hesitation, Ines could no longer sit still.

She quickly stood up from the armchair with difficulty, stumbled after him, and almost fell.

"Why, is there something else?" Lin En said coldly, "If you want to try again, I won't stop you."

"No! I mean, I got something else..." Ines pulled his arm with difficulty, "Although it was only for a short time, I felt the real magic of this crown!"

Helena also hurried forward, opened her arms to block Lin En, nodded vigorously and said: "We can find the secret left by our mother!"

"Are you talking about this permanent magic that speeds up thinking?" Lynn stopped and said helplessly, "Ines, I'm beginning to regret letting you meet Helena. Use your smart brain and don't be as stupid as her, okay?"

"I--" Helena was about to speak, but was interrupted by Lin En.

"No one would leave any special secrets on their personal belongings - especially on something she never saw for the last time in her lifetime, unless she had expected it. But do you think Rowena Ravenclaw would think that her daughter would steal the tiara?!"

His anger was so undisguised that Helena and Inès were so frightened that they could not speak.

It was the first time for both of them to see Lynn so angry.

"Lynn, I'm sorry, I don't know... I just didn't know how to handle it properly when I was researching." Ines seemed to lack confidence, and there was even a hint of fear in her eyes.

Helena was trembling with fear, even her soul became more transparent, and she was completely stunned.
