Chapter 17 Epic, the First Witch
It was 4:30 in the afternoon!
Li William left Diagon Alley with Yoyeh, who had memorized nearly one-third of the books in the bookstore.
Well, it seems a bit exaggerated.
But it is true.
It took only a few hours for Yoyeh to memorize one-third of the books in the bookstore.
However, the main reason for this, in addition to Yoyeh's terrifying memory ability, is that bookstores are not libraries.
Compared with public cultural institutions such as libraries, places like bookstores are profitable, and in order to make greater profits, there are often more best-selling and repeated books in them.
If those best-selling and repeated books are excluded, there are only a few hundred or thousands of books in a normal bookstore.
Flourish and Blotts is no exception.
There are more than 1,200 books in total. It takes Yoyeh about 20 seconds to turn a book, 180 books per hour, and they stayed in the bookstore for a little more than two hours, memorizing 400 books.
——
After leaving Diagon Alley, Li William went home.
When he got home, it was almost five o'clock.
"You're back? Go wash your hands quickly, we're ready to eat!" Mary said.
It was just within the normal time to go home, so Mary didn't find anything unusual.
"Okay!" Li William nodded and responded.
After that!
After washing his hands and eating dinner, he went to take a shower, then went straight back to his room and closed the door.
Just after closing the door.
A figure jumped in from his window and landed lightly on the ground.
"Master, good evening!" Ji Ye greeted.
"Well!"
Li William nodded and said seriously, "You sit over there, let's start studying!"
That's right!
The reason why Li William was so anxious to go back to the room was to study.
In the afternoon, in order to speed up Ji Ye's memorization speed, he didn't have time to read books, so he kept helping to change books and take books.
So!
He asked Ji Ye to come to his house in the evening and use the evening time to study.
After Ji Ye nodded, he sat down on the bed beside him and began to repeat the books in his memory.
"The origin of magic can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, there were no wizards, only strange and fierce magical creatures."
Li William sat on the chair in front of the table, listening to her retelling and studying seriously.
As he studied, he gradually understood the origin of magic in this world.
It can be traced back to ancient times!
At that time, there were no wizards in the world, only various fierce magical creatures, and because humans had no extraordinary powers, they were hunted and killed by these magical creatures as food.
In this oppression, in order to survive better, humans gradually gathered together and formed tribes.
But it didn't work!
After gathering together, human survival was slightly better, but facing magical creatures with various extraordinary powers, they still didn't have much resistance.
Fortunately!
At this time, some tribes found after careful research that some magical creatures were intelligent and able to communicate.
In order to survive, these tribes began to communicate with these intelligent magical creatures and formed a cooperative relationship.
The tribe revered the magical creatures as totems and gods of the tribe, and often offered various materials to the magical creatures, while the magical creatures in return gave them some blessings to ensure their survival and continuation.
However!
The tribe still underestimated the greed of the magical creatures.
At first, the magical creatures only asked for some food, but later they asked for more and more, and finally they even asked for people as sacrifices.
And this, many tribes couldn't stand it!
The reason for offering is for the survival of the tribe, so that more people can survive, but if people are used as sacrifices, what is the point of offering?
Under extreme oppression, many tribes began to rise up in resistance.
The result.
Under the extraordinary power of the magical creatures, most of the tribes failed.
But some of the weaker magical creatures were killed under the accumulation of human lives.
But after killing them, these tribes had to face a problem. Without the protection of magical creatures, they returned to the original state of being hunted and killed by magical creatures at will.
In this situation, some people accidentally discovered that the blood and body parts of the magic creatures they killed all carried mysterious powers.
Seeing this, they came up with a bold idea.
If these materials and blood with mysterious powers are integrated into their own bodies, can they also possess the power of magic creatures?
If it is really possible, then don’t they have the power to protect their tribe?
With this idea, the tribe began to try to integrate the body parts and blood of magic creatures into their own bodies.
In the end!
More than 99% of people failed and died, but there were also a small number of people who succeeded.
After they merged the parts or blood of magic creatures, they survived by chance, and their bodies were affected by the parts or blood of magic creatures, forming something that was called magic factors by later wizards.
These magic factors can automatically absorb the energy floating in the air, convert it into magic power, and store it in the human body.
And they are the original witches!
"So that's how magic comes from!" William Li sighed as he looked at this epic story.
In addition to the origin of wizards, this book also introduces why some wizards are born from ordinary people.
Because this magic factor can be inherited, but it is not stable and can be inherited to the next generation, but there is a certain probability of inheritance. When both parties are wizards with magic factors, the possibility of inheritance is high, and when one party is not, the possibility of inheritance is small.
In this case, it is inevitable that some ordinary people will not inherit it.
However, these ordinary people who have not inherited this magic factor do not mean that there is no such factor in their bodies.
It's just that this magic factor is hidden deep in the blood!
Once they have the next generation, or a certain generation in the future, after the phenomenon of atavism occurs, this factor will appear from the blood, turning its owner into a wizard.
And this is the origin of Muggle-born wizards.
In the final analysis, they are not real Muggles. There were wizards in their ancestors, but they did not inherit it before, and then suddenly inherited it, which is why there are Muggle-born wizards.
Look at these!
"It seems that if you want to come up with a skill to enhance magic power, you have to rely on the magic factor in the end!" Li William murmured after a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
But suddenly!
He had another idea.
Will what I just learned also form a skill?
You know, in the system, number theory in mathematics is considered a skill alone, so there is no reason that knowledge such as the origin of magic power cannot form a skill!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
If it is really possible, then he can quickly master and master this knowledge by adding internal circulation value!
Without any hesitation.
He opened the system panel.
Result!
[Magic Theory L0-1/10000: Magic Mechanics (LV0-1/200)]
Really! ?
Li William was even more excited.
In this way, he can completely master this knowledge by adding points to the internal circulation value.
Then, he looked at the words on the panel, but couldn't help frowning and wondering.
Magic Theory?
What is this?
It seems that it has never appeared in the original plot, and there is no such course in Hogwarts, right?
After thinking about it carefully.
Li William reacted.
"Yes, there is no such course in Hogwarts, but it does not mean that it does not exist. It is just like the Esperanto before the crossing. Although there are few schools in the whole Dragon Country that can teach it, it exists!"
Thinking of this, he did not care about these things.
After that!
He thought about it, and thought again, "200 points. Try to add it. There are 100 points left before, plus Hermione's efforts today, there are more than 200 points, which is enough to add!"
Thinking of it, he added the internal circulation value to magic mechanics without hesitation.
When magic mechanics became LV1, a huge amount of information also poured into Li William's mind.
The origin of magic, the structure of magic, the operation of magic factors. Almost instantly, he had a comprehensive understanding of magic.
However, after he carefully browsed this information in his mind, he found that he understood it but not deeply enough. If he wanted to use this knowledge to create skills that can increase magic, it was still a little short.
But Li William was not disappointed, on the contrary, he was very happy.
Being able to master this knowledge by adding points is already countless times faster than learning it by himself. In this case, he has nothing to be disappointed about.
What's more, according to his current daily internal volume value income, it only takes a few days to increase magic to the extreme.
When he masters the magic to perfection, will he still be afraid of not being able to come up with a skill that can increase magic?
At the same time!
Looking at the information in his mind, he roughly understood why Hogwarts did not have this course.
On the one hand, if you don't like to study this aspect, most wizards will not use this course. After all, magic can't be improved through practice, and understanding magic is useless!
On the other hand, it's too profound.
Judging from the information in his mind, if he doesn't add points through the system, he can't even think about getting started if he doesn't have three to five years to learn this course.
And Hogwarts has only seven grades in total. By the time you get started, you'll be graduating soon.
Thinking of this!
"Ye Ye, let's study other books!" Li William said to Yoe Ye.
After the knowledge of magic appeared in the skill list of the system, it was naturally not a problem.
However, there is more than just magic knowledge in this world, and Yoye has written down more than just magic books in the bookstore, there are also books on other aspects.
While he has time now, he must learn more. He doesn't need to learn too much, at least let all this knowledge appear on the system panel, so that he can add more when needed in the future!
"Okay!"
Yoye agreed without hesitation.
So!
Li William started to study happily again.
——
On the other side!
Just as Li William was happily immersed in the ocean of knowledge.
In the room on the second floor of the villa next to him, Hermione, with bloodshot eyes, stared at his lighted window with resentment on her face, and said, "This damn bastard, why isn't he sleeping yet?"
