Chapter 194 Master and Disciple
Arranging two house elves, Will and Isaac, to stay at home and learn magic, Locke rushed to Hogwarts to report.

The entire Hogwarts College is actually a school centered on a castle and the surrounding forest. Locke is not too uncommon about castles. He is interested in all kinds of magical knowledge in this college.

When Locke arrived at the academy, the sorting ceremony had just ended, and the professors took these little wizards to the dormitory.

The next day was Friday, and then there were two days of weekends, which was equivalent to giving these little wizards three days to get familiar with the academy.

Locke found Hermione and took her to visit all the places that could be visited within the entire academy, during which he also met the other two members of the Iron Triangle.

After school started, except for the occasional break time, listening to Hermione rambling about her college life, and answering her questions about magic learning.

"Locke, I found that all the learned spells follow the same pattern," Hermione said.

"What rule?" Locke asked, raising his eyebrows.

"I have been exposed to ancient Latin and ancient English before, so I found that these spells seem to be one word, but they are all composed of a part of ancient Latin and ancient English." related."

"It seems that you are really good at finding problems. Your discovery is not wrong. This involves a higher level of magical principles."

Locke said with a smile: "Among many spells, ancient Latin is used to inspire magic power, while ancient English is used to control magical effects. Let's use the levitating spell as an example.

The first half of this incantation is in Old English, which means to elevate the command, and the latter part of the ancient Latin symbolizes the concept of floating, combined to form the floating spell.

That's true of most spells, but there are other combinations, and other ancient languages ​​are also magical, or these ancient words can be used to activate magic. "

"Since this is the case." Hermione seemed to have been inspired by something, and said happily: "Then can we develop some spells according to this law?"

"Don't develop magic spells casually." At this moment, Locke's tone suddenly became serious.

"Why?" Hermione asked a little surprised.

"Because developing spells is a very dangerous thing." Locke said in a deep voice: "Just talking about the floating spell just now, if the pronunciation of S is changed to F, it will become an uncertain spell, which will bring serious problems. s consequence.

Many people have suffered backlash because of mispronouncing this spell. The lightest one among them was also hit by the old cow that suddenly appeared, damaging his ribs and internal organs!
Our current mantras are all summed up after many people have suffered a lot. If you experiment randomly, even if the pronunciation of the mantra is correct, even if there is a difference in one pitch, you will encounter unpredictable consequences. "

These things, in fact, Locke understood more deeply than Hermione during this time, and the magic in the Harry Potter world is very different from the magic he learned before.

The magic that Balthazar taught him was more inclined to use his spiritual power to manipulate the magic power to achieve the effect of magic, while the magic in this world uses language to stimulate magic effects.

So even he himself didn't dare to develop the spell at will, because he knew the danger.

It's as if Locke himself improved the meditation method and let the magic power flow through different acupuncture points. During this improvement process, Locke never used himself to conduct experiments, but found a large number of gang members to conduct experiments.

During this period, Locke couldn't remember how many members of the gang lost their lives because of the failure of the experiment, or were permanently disabled by Locke.

Relying on a large amount of experimental data, Locke summed up some rules and developed a relatively safe improved meditation method.

And up to now, in the world of American dramas, Locke still hasn't stopped the corresponding experiments, because the current meditation method only involves dozens of acupoints, and continuous development and research are needed to go further.

Therefore, behind Locke's improvement of meditation methods are countless white bones. On top of the lives of these people, there is now a meditation method that can strengthen the body more efficiently while meditating.

From a certain point of view, Locke's behavior is no different from those villains in many film and television works, but Locke has no psychological burden on it.

The progress of many things is bound to be accompanied by sacrifices, just like the development of modern medicine, which is accompanied by the sacrifices of countless people.

Even in modern times, why do those large pharmaceutical companies like to set up laboratories in India or other third world countries when developing new drugs?

In Locke's view, those gang members, rather than dying of drug addiction or meaningless fights, might as well contribute to their own magic research.

Just because he understood the danger of developing new magic, Locke emphasized to Hermione again: "Don't experiment with spells by yourself!"

"Okay, I will keep this matter in mind." Hermione nodded, expressing that she would be obedient.

Locke also didn't expect Hermione's talent to be stronger than imagined, which raised her weight in Locke's heart to a higher level.

After thinking for a while, Locke said, "Hermione, your talent is very strong, I have one thing to ask you, do you want to worship me as a teacher?"

"I worship you as my teacher, aren't you my teacher now?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"No, it's not a teacher who simply teaches some knowledge in the school, but a closer relationship."

Locke explained: "It is more similar to the teacher-student relationship in ancient times in the Eastern Kingdom. This is a kind of contract. They describe this relationship in one sentence as a teacher for one day and a father for life."

"Huh? Is that what Godfather meant?" Hermione asked with her own understanding.

"It's similar, but it's closer, and it's a taste of both prosperity and loss." Locke explained:
"If such a relationship is established, I will do my best to provide you with the best learning conditions, and I will also teach you some magic that only I can master in this world."

"A closer relationship?" Hermione tried her best to show a calm look: "I really want to agree, um, but I still need to go home and discuss it with my parents."

Suddenly encountered such a big thing, Hermione was actually inclined to agree, but still felt that such a big thing should be told to her parents.

"Of course, Mr. Granger and Mrs. Granger should be notified about this kind of thing." Locke said, "Tell them when you have a chance, and I will tell them about it too."

"No problem, then it's settled." Hermione agreed with joy on her face.

After talking about these things, Locke took out the gourmet table again, and the two of them ordered together, and a sumptuous lunch came out.

Since seeing the gourmet dining table at Locke's, Hermione didn't have much interest in the food provided by the restaurant, and would often come to Locke for food and drinks.
