LRAB Chapter 18 Seriously? Again?
Chapter 18 Seriously? Again?
"Grapevine wood..."
Shen Yi murmured. He remembered that Hermione's wand was also made of grapevine wood, symbolizing extreme emotions, joy and anger, representing the achievement of goals and the pursuit of balance.
As for Thestral tail hair, it is a very special material for the core of a wand, and only wizards who have faced death can wield it.
Okay, the T-virus affects the staff body, since the T-virus's telekinesis also requires strong emotions as support; while the staff core is probably affected by his death before his transmigration.
None of my emotions are my own characteristics. That's true, if I did, I would have become a wizard long ago.
"Thank you, Mr. Ollivander."
Composing himself, Shen Yi took out his money pouch. "How much?"
"Seven Galleons."
"That's really cheap," Shen Yi couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
This price is really not expensive. You have to know that this is a necessity for wizards, and for ordinary wizards, it is a lifelong companion. It is not unreasonable to sell it at a higher price.
Keep in mind that a quill pen only costs about 1 Galleon, not to mention that Ollivander's wand shop has many wands with unicorn hair cores, and a single unicorn hair costs 10 Galleons.
After paying, Shen Yi carefully put the wand into the inner pocket, pushed open the door and walked out of the wand shop.
Looking at the exquisite wand in his hand, he couldn't help but think of the little beaver girl he had seen some time ago, and suddenly his feelings became complicated.
The time travel happened too early; Hermione is only in first grade now.
Shen Yi was heartbroken. If he had transmigrated into a child, he could have had a childhood sweetheart relationship with Hermione and raised her up. But he was a middle-aged man. If he wanted to date a little girl, wouldn't the Ministry of Magic come knocking on his door?
Shen Yi shook his head, banishing those unrealistic thoughts from his mind, deciding to focus on his career instead.
Now that I have a wand and have confirmed that I have the ability to cast spells, the next step is to buy books.
Shen Yi immediately went to another must-visit place for time travelers: Flourish Bookstore!
This is the largest magic book retailer in Diagon Alley, with a wide variety of books, from "Standard Spells" to "Hogwarts: A History of the School," covering almost all magic-related knowledge available on the market.
"Hello, I would like to buy all the textbooks for Hogwarts from grades one to seven."
Shen Yi walked to the counter and spoke to the clerk.
"Uh... that's no problem. However, Hogwarts' curriculum sometimes changes, and there are also elective courses, so I suggest you wait until your child has chosen before purchasing."
The shop assistant was taken aback for a moment, then kindly offered a suggestion, as he had assumed Shen Yi wanted to buy all the textbooks for his child at once.
"It doesn't matter, I have money."
Shen Yi waved his hand generously, "By the way, also help me find some advanced books on spell theory, transfiguration principles, potion science, and the like. I don't mind having too many; give me one of every valuable one."
Shop assistant: ...
So what if you have money?
Does having money mean you can buy so many books and not read them, just leaving them on the bookshelf as decorations?
As a book lover, the clerk immediately said: "It will cost five hundred Galleons in total."
He's not the owner of Flourish and Blotts, and besides, only a fool would refuse someone throwing money around to buy books.
I bought two whole boxes of magic books, and Flourish and Blotts even gave me a magic item with the same Unseen Stretch Charm as the one I just got from Gringotts, to store the books.
When Shen Yi returned to the bar, it was already evening. He ate something simple and then went back to his bedroom on the second floor, where he opened the first book: "Standard Spells: Beginner".
Although he had watched the Harry Potter movies and heard some spells before his transmigration, that was obviously different from actually reading the books.
Fortunately, he could still use the "five-core drive". After roughly reading through all the books in Hogwarts, he opened the chat group and sent the memories to the other Shen Yi.
[Grim Reaper]: No way, again? I finally got free.
Through repeated accumulation of memory red envelopes, he no longer needs to recall the general plot and write it himself when copying books; he can just copy it directly. Therefore, he lives a very relaxed life. Recently, he has been diligently studying the "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" (a book on tendon and bone strengthening techniques), and he feels that after a period of cultivation, he will be able to enroll in the True Central Spiritual Arts Academy.
[Resident Evil]: Yeah, I just want to rest for a while right now, my brain feels a bit overloaded!
In the Resident Evil world, Shen Yi pushed Alicia down—oops, I mean, healed her—and then fell into a state of sage-like tranquility, feeling that he needed to rest for a while.
【Mechanical Era】: It's alright, we'll handle it. Besides, magic can be cast in my world, so maybe it'll work.
[The Legend of the Condor Heroes]: I haven't even developed the T-virus enhanced vaccine yet, please spare me.
Harry Potter: ...
Okay, although the memory red envelopes can be stacked repeatedly, it still counts as repeated high-intensity brain use. We used our brains a lot recently to work on the T-virus booster vaccine, so everyone really needs some time to rest.
Even if they couldn't use the "five-core brain," they could at least use the "dual-core brain." Shen Yi and his counterpart from the Mechanical Era sent each other red envelopes more than ten times, and the two of them thoroughly memorized this knowledge.
However, even if you memorize it, it doesn't mean you can master it. If you could master any book just by memorizing it, then there would be no need for a teacher.
Through his research, Shen Yi discovered that he could learn basic spells like Levitation, Unlocking, and Glowing Light almost instantly, while combat spells like Disillusionment, Stunning, and Petrify were not as effective as he could cast.
The next day, Shen Yi went to Diagon Alley again. This time, he directly spent money to buy a small house in the wizarding world, where he began to practice magic and tinker with some magical items.
This was largely thanks to the technological knowledge of the Mechanical Era world. After all, the technology in that world, while seemingly sci-fi, was actually magical technology. He planned to use the magical technology of the Mechanical Era as a basis, and the magical alchemical materials from the Harry Potter world, to create a magical satellite.
As his magical satellite gradually improved, his friends felt they had rested enough and began to accumulate memories once again.
As memories accumulated and Shen Yi used spells in different worlds, he and his companions were surprised to find that, perhaps due to the different rules of the worlds, some spells were very difficult for them to cast, or even impossible.
[Bleach]: Of course, it's also possible that it's because I used spiritual pressure to cast it, which is a completely new kind of Kido?
Shen Yi from the world of Death scratched his head. He not only didn't have a magic wand, but he hadn't even received the T-virus enhancement vaccine, yet he was able to cast magic. It felt quite abstract.
[Resident Evil]: I'm in a similar situation. I'm starting to doubt whether I can use the Transformation ability.
After all, there is no magic in this world, and forcibly transforming does violate the laws of physics. Of course, it is also possible that his magic power is too low.
That said, there doesn't seem to be such a thing as "magic" in the Harry Potter world, right?
Or perhaps his mental strength is still too low?
As for Shen Yi from the Condor Heroes world, sorry, he just found a cow that got smallpox and is busy working on his T-virus enhanced vaccine; he has absolutely no time to get involved in these things. Even if he did get the T-virus enhanced vaccine, he doesn't have a magic wand!
