A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 72 Unforgivable Curse
"You seem very reluctant to accept my teaching, Owen?"

Voldemort's gaze had a shocking light, and although he used interrogative sentences, his tone was affirmative.

I'm reluctant, don't you count it in your heart?There is a lesson learned from the Patronus Charm, who dares to let you teach it, the ghost knows what kind of tricks you will do.And if I hadn't successfully cast the spell last time, maybe I would have been paralyzed by the backlash of the spell on the spot...

Owen avoided the other party's gaze and looked directly at him. While he couldn't stop complaining in his heart, he shook his head firmly.

"You should be honored, Owen." Voldemort spoke softly to himself, slowly stroking the edge of the table with his bloodless fingers, "Not only can I guide you quickly to master the spells you want to learn, but I will also guide you Discover the deep and fascinating dark art."

"There are very few people in this world who have the honor to be taught by the Dark Lord. Almost every black art master can only rely on self-taught, because those pedantic professors will not teach you this, they just Will scream stupidly, and then self righteously punish you... Oh, maybe you can also become some dark wizard's apprentice and experimental subject."

I seem to have said that I don't want to learn black magic right now, right?So you still have the talent of selective deafness?Owen nodded solemnly, thinking in his heart.

"Your talent is very high, don't waste your talent." Voldemort looked at him with admiration and satisfaction, as if he was a real professor, proud and looking forward to his proud student.But deep in those eyes, he hides a hint of eagerness and greed very well.

Owen nodded obediently, but felt inexplicably that the other party's eyes were creepy.If Voldemort looked at him before as if he was looking at an interesting toy or prey, now it is more like a hungry diner seeing a delicious meal that is about to be baked.

Of course, this may also be his illusion, after all, the other party is actually a master at hiding emotions.

"I see, professor, I will not let you down." Owen blinked his eyes and interrupted the weird atmosphere loudly.

"Very well, then today we will start with the Iron Armor Curse." Voldemort nodded slightly.

"Professor, I have learned the Iron Armor Curse." Owen said with a smile.During this period of time, he focused on practicing the few spells that the other party promised to teach him, and he had successfully mastered the Iron Armor Curse and the Blasting Curse.In order to prevent Voldemort from teaching him so hard, Owen took great pains.

"That's just right, we can go directly to the extracurricular expansion." Voldemort said with a half-smile.

The smile on Owen's face faded a little, and now he just wants to show off.

"Iron Armor Curse, armor body protection, ah, it is indeed a good defensive spell, it can resist and even rebound most middle and low-level spells, as well as physical attacks." Voldemort's expression suddenly became cold and sarcasm, "But even It’s just such a simple spell, why do most wizards fail to master it? The ability to magic is innate, but they are despicably degrading this talent and blood, how lamentable..."

Although he said regretful words, his expression was extremely disgusted, as if he was talking about a group of bedbugs writhing in the stinky gutter.

He glanced at Owen again, and changed the topic: "The most famous advanced version of the Iron Armor Curse, super armor body protection, has a stronger effect, and can also be used to strengthen the defense of buildings. But whether it is the Iron Armor Curse or Its advancement has obvious weaknesses, and a wizard who is sufficiently clever will always have thousands of ways to break through its defenses."

"Owen, tell me what you think." He said lightly.

Owen pondered for a moment, put aside the messy thoughts in his head, and entered a state of serious academic communication.He organized his language, and said: "The biggest weakness of the Iron Armor Curse is that it is an active defensive spell. This means that it is very useful in a frontal duel, but it is difficult to deal with sudden attacks, because wizards simply don't have time Release it."

He crossed his hands and pressed his chin, and continued: "Similarly, the Iron Armor Curse cannot defend against invisible curses that lock the wizard himself. It can be said that it can only defend against those curses that have a real path."

"The defensive power of the Iron Armor Curse also varies from person to person. A wizard with strong magic power can break the defense of some ordinary wizards even if they use the most basic spells." As he spoke, Owen glanced at the guy opposite him.Wizards like the Dark Lord and Dumbledore can easily break the Iron Armor Curse of most wizards with just a disarming spell.

"In the end, the defense of the Iron Armor Curse has a limit. It can't defend against those truly advanced spells." Owen lowered his eyes, looking at the deep black wood patterns on the table.

"Like?" Voldemort asked with a smile.

"For example, the three Unforgivable Curses, and curses stronger than them." Owen said slowly.

"The homework is not bad, so let's start with the Unforgivable Curses." Voldemort's tone was tinged with joy.

Ah, here we come.Owen knew that he couldn't avoid eating melons when he came into contact with Voldemort. After all, the other party was an experienced melon lover...

"Do you know why they are called the Unforgivable Curses?" said Voldemort softly.

"Because they have no counter-curse, the victim of the curse can only bear it passively." Owen said calmly, "The Cruciatus Curse will make the victim of the curse miserable, even mad and die; the Imperius Curse controls the minds of others, and it is difficult for outsiders to detect and decipher it; Killing Curse, whoever is cursed will die."

"Of course, I think the most important reason is that these three spells are not so difficult to cast, and a wizard can use them as long as he is ruthless. Once they are abused, it will greatly damage the harmony and stability of the wizarding world, so They will be included in the ranks of Unforgivable Curses, and once they are found to be used on people, the caster will be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, the purpose is to deter people with heavy punishments."

Owen expressed his opinion clearly and calmly, then raised his eyes to look at the other party.

"Interesting point, indeed, that peace and stability are more important than anything else to the obstinate..." hissed Voldemort, "but that's not the whole story. Wizards were the first to put these three spells together Back then, there was no such thing as the Unforgivable Curses."

"Oh?" Hearing what he didn't understand, Owen changed his sitting position with interest, putting his right leg on his left.

"They are not very profound spells. Things that can be mastered by a large number of people are not very clever." Voldemort slowly added something to the cauldron on the table, and the aroma in the air became more and more intense. up.

"But if it is not advanced, it does not mean that it is not easy to use. On the contrary, if you can defeat a person with the smallest cost and the simplest spell, there is no need to use more complex magic." He made no secret of his admiration, "So , I myself prefer these spells."

Is this why you eat big melons every day?Owen nodded gracefully.

"The most important thing is that these three curses are actually the basis of a type of magic—" Voldemort gave him a strange look, with a secret smile on his face, "Soul magic. The three so-called Unforgivable Curses , is actually the simplest spell known to involve the realm of the soul."

"Soul, what a mysterious and profound field. Touching it, you can increase knowledge, enhance strength, and even gain eternal life!" Voldemort's voice became louder, "And these three magics are the cornerstones of soul research. They It is simple, but it is closer to the essence of soul magic, so it is more difficult to resist."

"Today, we will learn from these three spells." He said slowly, "I always believe that the best defense is offense."
