Chapter 39 Exploring the House of Requirement and Ancient Runes  

The House of Requirement is located on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, opposite the tapestry of Barnabas the Troll Stick.

The way to enter this room is very unusual, the user has to concentrate on thinking about the site they need and walk through that section of the wall three times, after which a very smooth door appears on the wall, through which one can enter the Room of Requirement .

Jack has personally tried the Room of Requirement. According to his understanding, this room is not essentially a single room, but many different subspaces. These subspaces were originally chaotic. Under the magic of the Room of Requirement, they were shaped into many different rooms by the user's imagination.

The largest subspace in the House of Requirement is a junkyard, where all the things that were cleared by the teachers and students of Hogwarts with the Vanishing Curse are piled up here, and according to the original book, one of Voldemort's Horcruxes - LaVine Crowe's crown is also hidden in it.

As the user imagines the desired venue, the magic of the Room of Requirement sifts through the rooms that have been shaped and then connects the most eligible room with the door.

And when all of the rooms that have been shaped do not meet the requirements, the magic will shape a warp in chaos into the required rooms.

In this way, it is not really responsive. After all, the total number of chaotic subspaces as prototypes is limited. When all such subspaces are used up, there will be no new rooms in the room of responsiveness. Even with new aspirations, it is impossible to be responsive.

But no matter what, the magic of the House of Requirement is indeed more powerful than imagined. Even the phase coincidence magic of the nine and three-quarters platform can't match the complexity of the House of Requirement - this is a space, consciousness and induction. Combined magic with pseudo-creative power.

Although Jack's learning of magic spells has just reached the second grade, he can still judge that it is impossible to create a house of responsiveness with modern magic spells alone, which must involve more complex and essential magic. .

And if you want to learn such magic, you can only gain something by learning ancient runes and then conducting further research on magic spells and ancient magic.

Therefore, Jack's top priority is to study the ancient Rune well in order to master the alchemy of making brooms. In addition, he has to find a way to earn enough gold Galleons to buy brooms as research materials in Diagon Alley.

But none of this is something he can currently accomplish.

As for Jack, he can use magic and knowledge from previous lives to earn enough pounds to exchange for Gold Galleon after returning to the Muggle world.

In addition, he can only go to Diagon Alley after leaving Hogwarts, so it seems that everything can only be completed after the Christmas holidays.

At present, Jack has to read the book "Advanced Rune Translation" every day. He has already finished reading the most basic "Easy Introduction to Ancient Rune", and if he goes further, he can really start some simple alchemy experiments.

In Jack's eyes, the subject of ancient rune is a comprehensive knowledge of linguistics, religion, philosophy, history, folklore, and programming.

Although the meaning and combination of rune have a certain logical relationship, but More involved in the imagery of many mythological histories that distinguish magic from science.

In the Harry Potter world, the essence of magic comes from magic.

Wizards and magical creatures are distinguished from ordinary creatures by their innate magical powers.

The existence of magic enables them to have an anti-scientific and anti- logical influence on the material world.

It is precisely because of the difference in magic power that Animagus in the wizard cannot transform into a magical creature - the essence of Animagus is to transform the human body into the body of an animal through transformation magic, which involves the use of magic power. Change a substance into another substance.

However, although magic power can transform matter, it is difficult to transform magic power itself.

Including wizards, magical creatures have different magical powers, so when Animagus tries to transform into magical creatures, shapeshifting magic can only transform the wizard's body into the body of a magical creature, but the wizard's magic power The magic power that cannot be turned into a magical creature, so that Animagus will fail to transform because the magic power does not match the body.

In general, magic power will follow certain and unique rules to affect the material world. After this rule is embodied by wizards, it is rune.

This is like a computer language. The lowest-level machine language is equivalent to the rules of the world. Although machine language can be used to write programs directly, it cannot be used directly because it is too complicated.

So someone - or God - assembles the machine language into instructions through the processor, and through these instructions, the machine language is simplified into assembly language, that is, the rules of magic, which can be used through magic. .

But for magical creatures, the rules of magic are still too complicated to understand and can only be used rather crudely through magic. Therefore, just as assembly language forms a programming language through further instruction, these magic rules have been further simplified into ancient rune by some sages.
