Chapter 271 Standing on the Shoulders of Giants, Proposing a New Hypothesis a Thousand Years Later

Having hurriedly packed up the entire suitcase, Zhang Xiao once again turned the Room of Requirement back into his usual reading room.

He couldn't be impatient, so he made a cup of hot tea and washed his hands before sitting at the table and taking out the rolled parchment and placing it in front of him.

Magic is always so convenient, the scroll opens itself and floats in front of him, the soft light illuminates the parchment, providing a reading experience like natural light.

Zhang Xiao's eyebrows twisted after just one glance, most of the parchment he got was the dissection and research of magical animals and humanoids.

Centaurs, dragons, trolls, giants, elves, goblins, veelas, leprechauns

The experiment was quite bloody, but Slytherin's writing was very calm, as if he had abandoned his emotions.

Zhang Xiao couldn't understand the experimental data very well, but occasionally Slytherin would insert some summary words:

".Dragon blood is hot and poisonous. It will cause serious consequences if mixed into the human body. Muggles can't bear dragon blood.

The dark wizards I captured will have adverse reactions such as crazy bloodthirstiness when injected with dragon blood.

One person began to grow scales, but they disappeared after a few days.

Maybe I should try to suppress the dragon heart directly?"

"The dragon heart is too big and has a very strong resistance to spells. I tried for a long time before I used alchemical items combined with spells to miniaturize the dragon heart.

The person who replaced the heart died not long after, and blood overflowed from every inch of his skin. Damn, the power of the dragon heart to pump blood is too strong!"

"Unicorns have a strong resistance to darkness and negativity effect, maybe I should spend more time on unicorns"

"Unicorn blood injected into the human body actually produced a wonderful effect. The Muggle had a stroke and was very old, but after injecting unicorn blood, he actually recovered.

Not only that - his hair turned black again, his wrinkles disappeared, and his lost teeth grew back. "

"The Muggle died. He said that he would be surrounded by nightmares every night and couldn't fall asleep. He felt like he was being burned by flames."

"The dark wizards accepted the unicorn blood unexpectedly well, and the effect was similar to that of the Muggles. There are indeed differences between wizards and Muggles.

He didn't die. Although in terms of the result, he still died and ended his own life.

The reason is that all the happiness in the world left him, and he couldn't feel any joy.

The black wizards in the experiment showed this symptom at different times. What affected the effect? ​​"

Here Zhang Xiao finally saw a sentence that had nothing to do with the experiment.

Like a casual complaint from Slytherin:

"There are not many dark wizards left. We need to catch some more. Gryffindor is really... Let him keep some dark wizards, he killed them all."

Zhang Xiao:

After this daily complaint, there is another cold experimental record:

"Giants are very interesting. They have a very rare situation during the breeding season, that is, they look for non-giants to mate.

During this period, they will automatically gain a magical magic to change their body shape according to the size of the mating partner."

Hagrid! Zhang Xiao thought of Hagrid almost immediately after seeing this line of text, and the second person he thought of was Madame Maxime.

It seems that Hagrid's mother is a female giant, and Hagrid's father is an ordinary human wizard.

Five times the height difference, I really haven't thought about this problem before.

Zhang Xiao stared at the more bizarre record:

"Interesting, I caught two werewolves, fed them magic potions on the night of the full moon, and the two werewolves combined, and the offspring turned out to be a pure wolf.

But this wolf is very intelligent, almost equivalent to the IQ of humans. (Note 1)"

Ah?

No, what does this mean? The offspring of two werewolves in transformed state is a wolf?

Why?

That is to say, it's okay if there is no reproductive isolation, but why are the offspring so random?

I can't read it anymore, my Taoism will be damaged if I read on.

What's so strange about this! No, why are wizards so fond of hybridization?

No wonder the warships keep bae-mee, not human sons!

Quickly passing through those vivid and vivid pictures, I finally found a few parchments without pictures but only conclusions.

Slytherin wrote on it in a serious tone:

"Regarding the origin of wizards, some scholars hold the view that humans and certain 'magical animals' had intercourse, giving birth to the second generation of humans with certain magical action characteristics.

Then step by step evolved into today's wizards.

But this cannot get around several difficult to explain doubts, such as how can weak Muggles have intercourse with magical animals?

According to my research, intercourse is a privilege of the strong over the weak, and male magical animals seem unable to have intercourse with humans to produce offspring.

Only female humanoids can produce offspring.

Combined with the murals and other things I saw in the ruins.

Here I propose a new hypothesis, why can't magical animals be born from the intercourse of powerful wizards and ordinary creatures a long, long time ago?"

Ah?

Zhang Xiao gradually opened his mouth wide, feeling extremely absurd, magical animals are the combination of wizards and ordinary animals?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible.

Although there is no reproductive isolation, not everything can be hybridized.

There are also magical animals in the East, could it be that

Fortunately, the next line pulled it back:

"Of course, this assumption is very narrow and should only apply to a few humanoid creatures, not all magical animals."

Let’s just say, how is it possible?

Zhang Xiao then relaxed, picked up the teacup next to him, and drank a large cup of it.

I started sweating while looking at the research notes.

Speaking of which, in my previous life, I had seen quite a few false assumptions, saying that the origin of wizards was the combination of magical animals and Muggles.

This is the view of the bloodline wizard sect.

It has almost become a consensus that power comes from blood.

But according to Zhang Xiao's own observations, as well as the most important evidence, Harry, Animagus and ghosts, it is shown that the soul is the foundation of everything.

Harry, who became a Horcrux, was not a descendant of Slytherin, but he could speak Parseltongue and had a high talent for black magic.

Animagus is a true physical transformation, but can still maintain human intelligence.

No matter how many Muggles die, they will not create ghosts. Only wizards can become ghosts after they die.

These all show that ability comes from the soul, not blood.

But the descendants of wizards are very likely to be wizards, but wizards generally have few children, like Weasley, who has seven children.

It is simply rarer than the giant panda.

No wonder there are rumors that the Weasley family has signed a contract with the devil, and that they will never be rich in exchange for the prosperity of their descendants.

"Duk duk duk" Zhang Xiao tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table and frowned tightly. This was one of his habitual actions when thinking.

Slytherin's research knowledge, what I learned from the East, and the posts I had written in my previous life. These scattered things are like storms, sweeping and colliding in my brain, and countless sparks of inspiration are colliding here. produced in.

The tapping sound disappeared and the finger movements stopped.

Zhang Xiao took a breath and snapped his fingers. The brand new parchment and quill immediately floated over and stopped in front of him, waiting for the master's order.

“Combining East and West, as well as the research of Slytherin seniors.

I stand on the shoulders of giants and propose a new hypothesis a thousand years later.

Blood is just the key, and the soul is the locked treasure house! ——Zhang Xiao, Slytherin House"

The gilded tip of the quill slid lightly on the parchment, leaving behind slightly bulging handwriting that had not yet dried. After the writing dried, the parchment floated up and connected to the parchment with the hypothesis written on it. below.

The lengthened parchment slowly rolled up on its own and was set aside.

Zhang Xiao glanced at the parchment rolls on the table, and there were only a few left.

The water in the kettle had cooled down unconsciously. I tapped the kettle lightly with the knuckle of my index finger. The spring water in the transparent glass pot immediately began to boil.

Zhang Xiao no longer uses a magic wand for this kind of little magic. It can only be said that as time goes by, the wizard is getting closer and closer to the direction of making his wishes come true.

The main thing is convenience.

After making another pot of tea, Zhang Xiao held the tea cup and began to read the remaining scrolls.

"The Ministry of Magic finally developed a new thing. They began to train owls to deliver letters.

This kind of owl has been transformed by alchemy, and has been imbued with the Trace and Tracking Charms. It can easily find the recipient. As long as the name and address are correct, these little things will not get lost.

It's a really useful creation. But the price of the owl surprised me a little. Can ordinary wizard families afford it? "

Um? Is this how the owl came to be?

Zhang Xiao happily connected the owl with the mobile phone. It seems that the price of this communication tool when it first came out was ridiculous.

After taking a sip of tea, the scroll slowly continued to unfold, just like the app's automatic reading.

"The Ministry of Magic wrote to me to ask what I thought of the newly established Charms Office.

What can I say?

This is necessary, since the opening of Hogwarts I have discovered how chaotic the wizarding world is.

Before many little wizards come to school, they have been taught a lot of messy things by their parents.

I just learned that the simplest floating spell actually has four different ways to recite the spell.

The longest one requires reading a prayer-like sentence of 150 words!

Listen to 'O omnipresent wind, I beg for your response. Please send down your endless power and blow the pebbles in front of me.'

What bullshit! The child was extremely proud, saying that this hand was a secret that everyone in the tribe would kneel down and kowtow.

I.

unified! The spell must be unified! "

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but spit out a sip of tea, and burst into laughter. The main reason was that the spells written on the parchment were so outlandish and funny.

The key is that in such a long paragraph, only one pebble can be moved in the end.

Another scroll floated over, took the place of the original scroll, and slowly unfolded:

“It’s very strange, very strange, I saw a strange picture in the ruins.

A wizard, should be a wizard, right?

He stood above the clouds with his hands open. There was a prostrate person on the ground, whether it was a wizard or a Muggle.

But looking at them, they seemed to admire the man standing above the clouds.

The magic wizard has the sun in his left hand and the moon in his right hand.

Bah, shameless, did you create the sun and the moon?

Well, the strange thing is the next scene, the wizard seemed to be angry, he just pointed at the sky, and many curved lines fell from the sky, and the Muggles on the ground suffered heavy casualties.

I looked at it for a long time before I figured it out, those lines might be lightning?

Oh——powerful wizard, I have looked through many books and have not found magic that can release so much lightning, of course the murals are definitely not drawn by this wizard.

It is also very likely that the Muggles are habitually exaggerating. "

It's a bit interesting, lightning magic? Taoism can really release lightning, because I have seen it, but I don't think I have ever seen lightning released by magic.

Zhang Xiao thought for a while, but the scroll continued to unfold.

Never mind, let's finish it!

"It's a pity that the mural below is damaged. It would be great if there was magic that could repair it!

Why don't you let Ravenclaw study the magic of repair?

Although I know a little bit of repair methods, it is obvious that I can't do anything about this mural. ”

What Professor Flitwick had said in the spell class immediately came to mind:

[Repair as New] is a spell that can be used to seamlessly repair most damaged objects.

This useful spell was invented by Orabella Nutley before 1754.

The repair spell is effective for most materials, but some damage caused by rare and powerful curses cannot be repaired with this spell, such as Fiendfyre.

At the same time, the repair spell can only be used on inanimate objects, and it is completely forbidden to use it on living objects. If you try to use the repair spell to treat the wounds of humans or animals, it will cause serious scars.

1754.

Zhang Xiao smacked his lips. No wonder Slytherin complained that there was no good repair magic. It must be admitted that the repair spell is an extremely useful and perfect spell.

I even used this spell to repair an airplane!

"Very good, Ravenclaw is really amazing. She came up with a repair method that looks very reliable in just a few days.

I went back and tried it, and it really worked.

Then it's time to go back to the ruins and take a look.

I asked Gryffindor, but this annoying guy didn't want to come with me.

Okay, okay, then I'll go alone.

I have a feeling there will be a big secret here!"

The scroll ended here, and Zhang Xiao looked at the empty desk in astonishment. No more?

How could it be gone?

So broken?

Zhang Xiao hurriedly stood up and grabbed the scroll floating in the air.

Wait, there seems to be text on the back of the scroll.
