Suddenly, the whole laboratory was boiling.
Squibs, able to use magic!
The problem of thousands of years was solved by them just like that!
Even these mature and prudent masters couldn't help feeling extremely excited, and Dumbledore was no exception, grinning extremely happily.
In the enchantment, Zhao Hun nodded slowly when he saw this scene.
Sure enough, if you don’t force yourself, you will never know how amazing things you can do. You see, isn’t the Millennium Problem solved?
However, although Dumbledore was also very happy, he was still not satisfied after being happy.
What is left in the totem painting is his memory, and the spell-casting habit of the totem painting, needless to say, must also be his habit.With this kind of slow casting, the Squib student can still cooperate with the totem painting, but in situations where continuous use of magic is required, such as duels and making magic items, the cooperation between the two parties will definitely cause problems.
Although such a wizard can be considered a wizard, his spellcasting ability is basically disabled, even worse than that of a second-year student.
Therefore, Dumbledore warned these Squib students to practice casting more spells when they go back. The existence of magic power, get rid of the dependence on magic painting, and achieve independent spellcasting.
It has to be said that these Squib students, because they had the experience of not being able to ask for magic, knew how to cherish it after acquiring the ability to cast spells, and they were far more diligent than ordinary Hogwarts students.
Apart from eating and sleeping, they practice spellcasting desperately. Every time they successfully use magic, even if they simply create a small ball of light or a small flame, they feel extremely satisfied.
However, the reason why Squibs are Squibs is because they are born unable to perceive the existence of magic power. Even though these students practiced desperately and used more magic in a month than most Hogwarts students used in a year, they still could not perceive the magic power in their bodies.
Although, because of casting a lot of spells, they and Mohua became a little tacit, and the cooperation between the two sides was better than at the beginning, but if they wanted to cast spells intensely and quickly, they would still fail one after another.
Such a result made these squib students a little disappointed, but they were already satisfied with being able to cast spells, and they dared not ask for more.
However, Dumbledore being Dumbledore, the old fox always had a backup plan.
After the attempt failed, Dumbledore began to ask the Squib students to design their own emblems. After the emblem design was completed, the magic painting master started again, and drew the emblems representing themselves on these students.
Since the student's emblem and Dumbledore's emblem were drawn on the same "canvas", coupled with the intentional guidance of the magic painting master, when the students injected their own memories into their own emblems, these memories merged with Dumbledore's memory without accident.
Needless to say, the tacit understanding between myself and myself, although the Squib students still couldn't get rid of their dependence on the totem painting and could not cast spells independently, their tacit understanding with the memory in the totem painting has soared to a very high level.
In this way, when the students cast spells, they don’t need to deliberately communicate with the memory in the totem painting, and tell each other that I want to use this magic next time. The "other self" in the totem painting can also guess what magic they want to use by relying on tacit understanding.
Such a casting speed naturally cannot be compared with top wizards of Dumbledore's level, but it is actually no different from those ordinary wizards.
After all, after graduation, most wizards, because there are not many spells that can be used in daily life, their spellcasting ability is actually not very good.
In this way, the problem of Squib casting spells can basically be said to be completely solved.
Although, the cost of solving it is relatively high, and it needs to rely on the help of the magic painting master.
However, this is good news after all.
After one year and three months, the millennium problem was overcome.
When Dumbledore announced the news in the newspapers, the entire wizarding world boiled, and reporters flocked to try to interview Dumbledore, interview the Squib students, and try to find out if it was true.
Dumbledore also knew that this kind of news would not allow the reporters to really see the spellcasting of those Squib students. People would not be able to fully believe it, so he took the students to a high-profile interview, and after giving enough information to the outside world, he kicked out all the journalists who remained enthusiastic from Hogwarts.
This is a school. Reporters run around every day. How can the students go to class with peace of mind?
What's more, after solving the problem of squibs, there is still a bigger problem waiting for him.
How can Muggles gain magical powers?
Chapter 175 Werewolf?
When studying the problem of squibs, Dumbledore could still recruit students of squibs openly. As long as Zhao Hun gave him a platform, even if he said that he wanted to solve the millennium problem, even if people didn't think highly of him, for Zhao Hun's sake, they would He expressed support.
But Dumbledore really didn't dare to announce the subject of "making Muggles acquire magic power".
No way, this matter is too sensitive.
You must know that a long time ago, there was an unproven but equally difficult to falsify hypothesis circulating in the magic world——
In the world, there are no so-called Muggle wizards at all. All Muggle wizards are descendants of Squibs from pure-blood families exiled to the Muggle world. Gained the ability to cast spells.
The aristocratic old wizard who put forward this hypothesis back then also cited a series of evidence that seemed reasonable. For example, in an era farther than the Big Four, wizards were only born in various families, and there were no wizards in Muggle society. As wizard families accumulated more and more squibs in exile, Muggle wizards appeared.
Of course, it is not impossible to refute this kind of "evidence".
People can say that in ancient times, there was no systematic method of cultivating wizards at all, and it was enough for the wizarding family to teach their offspring a headache. Even if children with spellcasting talents were born in the Muggle society, wizards did not have the energy to train these children who had no relatives and no reason to themselves, and naturally there would be no Muggle wizards.
Later, wizards developed for a period of time. While exiling a large number of Squibs, they also accumulated enough experience. While cultivating their own children, they had enough time to go to the Muggle society to discover children with talent for casting spells. Muggle wizards also appeared.
But no matter whether it can be refuted or not, from the fact that this hypothesis has been passed down for hundreds of years, it is not difficult to see that the main idea advocated by this hypothesis, "the ability to cast spells comes from blood", is still supported by many people.
In the eyes of these people, "let Muggles acquire magic power" and "share noble wizard blood with Muggles" mean the same thing.
Bloodlines, but the bottom line of these traditional wizards, even if their children want to marry Muggles, they want to clean up the family, let alone share bloodlines with Muggles on a large scale.
Even if a knife is put on their necks to force them to do this kind of thing, they will never let go, and it will be useless to anyone.
In addition to these traditional wizarding families and wizarding nobles who would oppose it because of their blood, those ordinary wizards with no long-standing heritage, and even most Muggle wizards, would never agree with Dumbledore.
The reason these ordinary wizards object to is also more realistic and straightforward - to survive.
The magic world is not such a huge society, with a small population and lack of resources. The income of most wizarding families can barely maintain a normal life. After graduation, many Muggle wizards will face unemployment. Working as a clerk in a magic shop is already a good way out.
There are a considerable number of Muggle wizards, because their parents cannot provide help in the wizarding world, and they are relatively mediocre. After graduation, they have struggled for several years and still cannot see hope. In the end, they can only walk on the edge of the law and get some smuggled magic materials. Such gray income can make a living.
With life already so difficult, how could these wizards agree with Dumbledore, let him share his magic power with Muggles, create more wizards, and compete with them for the few positions they have.
In short, this is certainly a subject that everyone is against.
Therefore, Dumbledore didn't dare to say anything, and he dared not say anything about recruiting pure Muggle students. He could only conduct research in private with a few old friends he trusted.
To be honest, Dumbledore himself actually believes that the ability to cast spells comes from blood.
After all, you see, those nobles have been passed down for thousands of years. Except for the occasional squib, their descendants can basically inherit the ability to cast spells stably.
Looking at Muggles and Muggle children, there is only a very small chance to gain the ability to cast spells and become wizards.But if Muggle wizards marry Muggle wizards, their children will rarely turn back into Muggles, and they will basically have a stable genetic ability to cast spells.
These examples can all prove to a certain extent that the ability to cast spells is a heritable characteristic. If it is not passed along the blood, what else can it be?
Therefore, at the very beginning, Dumbledore's experimental idea was indeed to transplant wizard blood for ordinary people.
In the world of magic, there is a branch of knowledge called Magizoology, which includes general subjects such as protection of magical animals and breeding of magical animals, as well as some off-the-wall subjects, such as the transformation of magical animals.
In today's magic world, many famous magical animals were created by former wizards through magical transformation, such as basilisks and hippogriffs. The manufacturing process of these magical animals is even widely spread.
Therefore, Dumbledore hoped to understand by analogy, from the method of transforming magical animals, to find a stable and harmless method to transplant wizard blood for ordinary people.
For this topic, even Grindelwald temporarily put aside the affairs of the "Wizard Development Joint Research Association" and secretly came to Hogwarts to study with Dumbledore.
However, this kind of research has not been smooth. Several world-renowned great wizards have worked hard for more than a year, but they have not achieved any results.
Seeing that more than half of the four-year deadline given by Zhao Hun had passed, Dumbledore was unavoidably a little impatient, and his white beard, which was usually neatly groomed, became a mess.
At this time, Zhao Hun decided to give Dumbledore a little push. After another open class, he gave the students in the whole school the homework of "Briefly Describe the Differences and Connections Between Muggles and Wizards". Throw it all to Dumbledore, let him see if he can find some inspiration from the wild thoughts of these young people.
Originally, Dumbledore had no hope for students' homework. After all, even the level of Hogwarts students, under Zhao Hun's training in the past few years, has improved a lot compared to before, but they are only students after all. The reserves are limited, and no matter how unconstrained the thinking is, most of them can only go in the wrong direction.
However, among this pile of homework, Dumbledore really found a thesis that caught his eye.Unlike other papers that start from bloodlines, spellcasting talent, age, whether they believe in Merlin, etc., this paper focuses on werewolves.
At the beginning of the thesis, it was pointed out that werewolves would transform on the night of the full moon and attack humans. If humans were bitten, if they did not die on the spot, they would also turn into werewolves. As we all know, werewolves are undoubtedly a kind of magical creature.
So, if a Muggle is bitten by a werewolf and becomes a werewolf, does this Muggle also have magic, from an ordinary person without magic power to a special magical creature that can arouse magic power on a full moon night?
If this assumption is true, does it mean that both wizards and Muggles have the potential to cast spells, and the werewolf's saliva may contain some kind of special substance or curse that can forcibly activate this potential?
Thinking further, is the so-called werewolf "from a human to a werewolf" or simply "becoming a werewolf". If the prerequisite is not necessarily a human, what will happen if a werewolf bites a goblin, a vampire, a magical animal, or an ordinary animal?Will these non-human beings also become werewolves on the night of the full moon?
If so, when the full moon sets and these "inhuman werewolves" finish their transformation, will they turn back to their original form, or will they "turn back" to humans like all known werewolves?Or become a human?
If they also become human after the end, can it prove that everything has animism and everything can be human?Should we pay more attention to the equality of life?
At the end of this paper, the author used a large article to appeal that people should respect every life, give all spirits equal kindness, and stop the exploitation of magical animals, just like the tone of the Virgin Mary.
Obviously, there is no textual research in this paper, no literature citations at all, it is just a lie made up to call for the protection of animals. I am afraid that even the author himself does not believe what he wrote.
but……
Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the word "werewolf" in the paper, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
It seems that it is not impossible to try it.
Chapter 176 Hell Planet
For a wizard of Dumbledore's level, in many cases, he can't do one thing. It's not because of lack of ability, but because of lack of inspiration.
As long as he is given a little inspiration, he can quickly sort out a complete set of ideas to turn inspiration into reality, and implement it efficiently.
After getting the inspiration of the werewolf, it only took Dumbledore a few days to draw a group of old friends and make a detailed plan.
Grindelwald immediately transferred a group of werewolves and a large number of Muggle volunteers.
Today, the funds gathered by Grindelwald's "Wizard Development Joint Research Association" can be described as amazing. As long as a very small part is used, it is easy to recruit a large number of Muggle volunteers, whether it is recruiting most impoverished werewolves to cooperate with experiments, or exchanging funds for the wealth of the Muggle world.
The two parties signed an agreement, regardless of whether they succeed or not, Grindelwald will give these volunteers a generous reward. Of course, before paying the rewards, the Dark Lord will definitely erase the memory of these people related to the experiment, whether they are werewolves or Muggles.
In short, on the night of the first full moon after the plan was formulated, the experiment officially began.
A large number of volunteers were knocked down by the stun spell, lying unconscious in the empty laboratory. Two werewolves stood among the fainted crowd, anxiously waiting for the moon to rise.
When the full moon appeared on the horizon, the silvery moonlight shone into the room through the skylight of the laboratory, and the howling of wild wolves sounded in the laboratory. The eyes of the two irrational beasts were full of bloodthirsty light, and they rushed towards the unconscious people without hesitation.
The hunting instinct of the werewolves made these beasts subconsciously bite the throats of the humans. However, at the moment when the two humans were about to die, two magic shots shot from the corner and hit the werewolves on the heads, making them huge. His head was hit sideways.
Due to being forced to tilt his head at the last moment, the beast's attack failed to bite off the neck of the human being, but the sharp fangs scratched the prey's arm and chest.
Then, before the werewolves continued to attack the wounded people who must have been infected by wolfsbane, the dazzling spell flew again, and the strong iron armor spell protected the two volunteers.
Generally speaking, the skin and hair of werewolves have high anti-magic characteristics, and it is difficult for them to use magic. The ordinary iron armor curse cannot withstand the sharp claws of werewolves at all. It is precisely because of these dangerous characteristics, coupled with the contagious nature of wolf's poison, that werewolves are regarded as a major threat by the entire magic world.
However, the wizard standing in the experiment today is called Grindelwald, and this name means that "common sense" will not work on him.
The magic he threw out could easily knock the werewolf away, preventing them from actually killing the volunteers, and the Iron Armor Curse he released could not shake the werewolf's sharp claws and fangs at all.
He just stood in the corner, which meant absolute safety, which meant that no one would die at the mouth of a werewolf tonight.
It's a little funny that werewolves are obviously dangerous creatures that are widely circulated in the magic world. Their berserk and terrifying are widely circulated, but Grindelwald did not make any threats at all, nor did he show any momentum. He just stood there quietly and shook his head. He cast out spells one after another, interrupting the hunting of the two ferocious beasts again and again, and the werewolves didn't dare to howl at him.
Even if he was prevented from hunting, the werewolf would only attack the next volunteer under the guidance of the violent impulse in his heart, without even daring to look at Grindelwald.
The soaring animal instincts let them know how terrifying that wizard in the corner was. If it weren't for the violent instinct in their hearts, urging them to attack the next target, they even wanted to lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.
On Grindelwald's side, the wolf poison infection experiment was going smoothly. The werewolves were pitifully interrupted from hunting again and again. They were clearly barking very imposingly, but none of them were killed.
In the laboratory next door, the situation of the other two werewolves was even worse. Immediately after the transformation, Dumbledore was locked on the wall with two magic spells, and his mouth was covered with a gag. Not to mention struggling, they couldn't even howl, and they were clinging to the wall like two specimens.
Under the mouths of the two werewolf "specimens", there were still two large glass bottles floating. Because the mouths were fitted with gags, the werewolves were forced to open their mouths wide, and saliva flowed out of their mouths uncontrollably and dripped into the bottles below.
Dumbledore maintained a serious expression on his face and waved his wand from time to time. The first bottle of werewolf saliva was divided into ten parts and floated to ten volunteers. The wounds on the volunteers' wrists had been cut by magic, and the werewolf saliva fell On the wound, it is quickly mixed with the volunteer's blood.
Then, the second bottle of werewolf saliva was also divided into ten parts, got into the mouths of ten volunteers, and was swallowed unconsciously by them.
The third bottle of werewolf saliva turned into mist, covering the mouths and noses of ten volunteers.
The fourth bottle of werewolf saliva was also atomized, covering the uninjured arms and thighs of ten volunteers.
The fifth bottle, the sixth bottle...
Simultaneously with Grindelwald, Dumbledore is also conducting experiments on wolfsbane infection, but the purposes of their experiments are still different.
On Grindelwald's side, if a Muggle is bitten, it will definitely be infected by wolf's poison and become a werewolf. What needs to be verified in his experiment is whether the werewolf-turned Muggle will produce magic power in its body.
As for Dumbledore's experiment, more is to verify the birth conditions of werewolves.
For example, verify whether the process of "biting" is a necessary process for infection.
After all, Wolfsbane is very likely a curse. In that case, "biting" has a high probability, and it is a necessary ritual to complete the curse. Without this ritual, it is impossible to infect others.
Of course, if wolf's poison is not a curse, but a substance that can turn a person into a wolf, then using only saliva should be enough to complete the infection.
Under this assumption, Dumbledore needs to verify, under what circumstances can the werewolf saliva complete the infection, and must it touch the bleeding wound?Or just the entrance?Or take it a step further and just inhale a small amount of particles in your breath?Can the unwounded skin come into contact with saliva and cause infection?
In short, the White Demon King and the Dark Lord teamed up to effectively use the four werewolves, and completed the preliminary experimental operation on hundreds of Muggle volunteers in just one night. The results will be known only after the next full moon.
Soon, the second full moon night came, and one hundred volunteers were stunned again before the moon rose, but this time, they were all chained up.
Undoubtedly, the group of volunteers that Grindelwald was in charge of all turned into werewolves, woke up from a coma, and howled terrifying wolves one after another.
Among the volunteers in charge of Dumbledore, the ten people whose bleeding wounds were exposed to werewolf saliva all turned into giant wolves under the moonlight. The volunteers who breathed inhaled atomized saliva or touched saliva on their skin showed no signs of wolf transformation.
Most of the ten volunteers who took werewolf saliva had no signs of infection. Only one of them turned into a giant wolf. After discussing with Dumbledore and Grindelwald, they preliminarily determined that this was not a difference in physique, but that this person had oral ulcers or gastric ulcers, and the werewolf saliva contacted the wounds in his body, which caused the infection.
That is to say, werewolf saliva must touch the wound to cause infection. Compared with the number of Muggles, the infection rate is a little hip, but it is not unacceptable, at least there is no need for werewolves to bite them one by one.
