Chapter 44 Ancient Magic
The so-called popular reputation probably refers to Egger's current situation. For a week in a row, news about Egger could be seen in the Daily Prophets across England basically every day.
Regardless of whether it is true news or false news, after reading the newspaper every day, some people will send letters, some insulting him and some admiring him.
"Look at this!" Hermione's face turned red and she threw this morning's newspaper on the dining table. The article above read: "In this Muggle family, Egg met a little girl who was born in a Muggle family. Min Granger. This is a little witch who is very good at playing with men's psychology. I don't know if she is the reason why Iger has grown up like this..."
"She described you very sexy, baby..." Chris looked at a Muggle newspaper and looked at his daughter with a smile: "This means that our Hermione has become mature, right?"
"That bastard woman!" Hermione screamed in anger and ran back to the room.
At the dining table, Iger burst into laughter, and the Grangers also laughed.
"I think you will find a way, Iger." Mrs. Granger looked at Iger and said, "Otherwise, with your character, you would not be so careless."
"That's right." Iger grinned: "I think she may have realized that I wouldn't do anything to her, so she was so presumptuous..."
As he spoke, Egger glanced at a small beetle lying outside the window, and he casually picked up the tea cup and took a sip. A few minutes later, the Granger couple left home to go to work. Egger held his chin and said casually: "Kaka, grab it!"
"Yes, Master Egger!" Kaka looked excited, and instantly appeared next to the little beetle on the window, grabbed the little beetle on the window, and at the same time cast a spell on the little beetle.
Looking at the small beetle that Kaka placed on the dining table, Egger's mouth curled up slightly: "I think this is not the first time we have met, Ms. Skeeter."
As he said that, Iger leaned over his head and picked up the little beetle in front of him and looked at it. There was indeed a circle of glasses around the beetle's eyes. Iger casually threw the little beetle on the table: "You have been at our house these days. You're hanging out the window very frequently, playing Animagus in front of a wizard who is so much stronger than you, you really don't know how to write the word death..."
As he spoke, Iger waved his hand casually, and the little beetle slowly fell to the ground and turned into a woman. Rita looked at Iger with horrified eyes: "How did you find out?"
"It's rare to see such a well-behaved beetle, lying on the window motionless..." Egg's mouth slightly raised: "You think, should I kill you, or what? I think you should know, Greyback How did he die..."
"No, you can't do this!" Rita was frightened and screamed immediately.
"But since you said that I might become the third generation of the Dark Lord, what do you think the Dark Lord will do to those who dare to comment on the Dark Lord?" Egger fiddled with the wand carelessly: "Believe me, my Ah. The Vada Kedavra is very fast, and you won't even feel a trace of pain..."
With that said, Egg pointed the wand in his hand at Rita, who suddenly screamed.
On the stairs, Hermione heard the voice and ran over in a hurry: "What's going on? This is... Rita Skeeter!"
Hermione gritted her teeth and looked at the woman with the binding spell on the ground, and then she held down Egg's arm with some worry: "Iger, you can't kill her. I know she is annoying, but she hasn't reached the point of death yet..."
"No, no, no, it is the Dark Lord who has the final say whether he should die or not." Egger winked at Hermione in a vague way, and Hermione suddenly stopped talking.
"Please, don't kill me..." Rita looked at Iger with tears streaming down her face: "I don't dare to do it anymore, forgive me, I can do you a favor..."
"Only Kaka can work for Master Aige!" Kaka screamed excitedly after hearing this: "You stinky woman can't even think of taking Kaka's place!"
Egger was speechless for a moment, what a fucking drama...
"You are an Animagus..." Egg's voice was cold: "Illegal Animagus..."
Egg stood up quietly, and then squatted next to Rita. The tip of the staff gently touched Rita's chin: "Maybe I should give you a soul-stealing curse, and then let you go to Azkaban peacefully." ? No, no, no… Azkaban can't contain the Animagus, so it's better to kill them…"
Egger said lightly, and Rita suddenly screamed again. Egger casually locked her tongue and throat. After a long time, watching the woman in front of her calm down, Egger looked at Rita with a smile: "So close. How does death feel?"
With that said, Iger removed Rita's gag and throat. Cold sweat broke out on Rita's head, and she looked at Iger in horror: "Please, let me go..."
"What will you give me in return for letting you go, huh?" Iger sneered: "But I will indeed let you go. You are still of some use. At least there are still many people reading what you write with your quill. You …Do you understand what I mean?"
Rita nodded wildly, and Iger stopped being so aggressive. Then she looked at Rita, and Iger still warned: "I can kill Greyback, I can kill Quirrell, and I can also kill you. , don't harass me again, remember to establish some positive image for me, do you understand?"
Rita nodded again, and Iger sneered. The wand touched Rita's arm, and a Dandantang mark suddenly appeared on Rita's arm: "This thing has the same effect as the Mark of the Dark Devil, it is my mark." , there is no place in the whole of Britain that I can't go to through Apparition, so don't even think about playing tricks on me, do you understand?"
Rita whimpered and nodded, and then Egg waved his wand: "Get out!"
Feeling that the binding spell on her body disappeared, Rita suddenly turned into a little beetle and rushed out of the window crazily.
"Now that stinky woman won't dare to write blindly anymore!" Hermione immediately relieved her anger and looked at the direction in which Rita was escaping.
Sure enough, the next day, all the newspapers were full of publicity about Iger's positive image, describing Iger as a good student with five lectures and four beauties. Rita was mentioned not only in the Daily Prophet, but also in some unknown small newspapers. The positive reports about Iger seem to be frightening me crazy...
However, it was precisely because of Rita Skeeter's bombardment that Egg's reputation in the magical world exploded.
Someone wrote a letter saying that no matter if Iger was the Dark Lord or the White Wizard, he would be willing to follow him, which made Hermione smack her tongue.
There were also many confession letters from girls, but Hermione threw them into the burning fireplace with an expressionless face, which made Egg feel regretful.
But now Iger is not too sad about those things. There are other things attracting his attention now.
Several books that Newt gave him recorded several very ancient languages for speaking to animals, including bird language, feline language, canine language, and what surprised Egger the most was hoofed language. , can communicate with all animals with hooves, except two.
One is a centaur, well, Egg thinks that centaurs should be considered half-human, and the other is a pig...
When it came to pigs, Egger vaguely remembered that wizards generally didn't like pigs because pigs were highly resistant to magic, so wizards thought this kind of creature was very annoying. Egger couldn't help but feel a little funny. Does this count as discovering a little easter egg?
Now Iger's greatest pleasure is to lie by the window and listen to some birds whispering. Listening to their chirping, Ige can't help chirping sometimes. This behavior once made the Grangers very angry. Worrying about Iger's mental condition…
Only then did Egg realize that Parseltongue was nothing unusual... The world was so big, and there were so many weird languages.
Egg can now talk to Buckbeak, unicorns, Lark, and even cats and dogs. Although he could transform into a cat Animagus before, even if he has In the form of a cat, Egger couldn't figure out what the cats were talking about before, but now, he can completely disguise himself as a cat...
Apart from these weird languages, Egger also discovered several interesting magics.
One is ancient magic about wandless casting. It is a fire control spell in ancient Africa. In ancient times, it was controlled by priestesses of some tribes. It can control all kinds of flames. Even strong fire will be obedient, but it is a pity. The thing is this magic is a dance…
Although it's not that enchanting, Ige still feels a little embarrassed when dancing. Most of the dance consists of arm and finger movements combined with vigorous stomping, a bit like tap dancing...
Egger maliciously guessed that maybe the founder who invented this dance may have accidentally stepped on a fire, so he invented such a dance magic that looks hot to the feet...
Although Egger felt embarrassed to dance this dance, Hermione kept saying that Egger danced so handsomely, and always wanted to encourage Egger to dance a few more times...
There is also a kind of prayer magic. You only need to offer some simple small sacrifices to change the weather in a small area tomorrow. But if you use a human life as a sacrifice, then you can immediately summon a person from the sky. A bolide falling in the target position is a very changeable and flexible magic.
Then there are some very partial witchcrafts, which Newt got from Southeast Asia. They are similar to the black magic here in the UK. It is said that black magic and curses are very popular there. Egg has now learned a very simple one. A little curse that only requires one of the other person's hair.
Prick the villain!
However, there is no exaggeration that if you stick a needle in the heart, the opponent will die. If you stick a needle in the opponent's body, the opponent may lose his breath, or fall down accidentally, or put a few small pieces on the villain's body. If you use the stone, the other party will catch a cold, fever, and general weakness. It is very interesting. It is said that the wizards there use it to play tricks on friends. It is also very simple to break this curse. You only need to take a hot bath or Wash your hair, and the hair that is tangled around the little man will turn to gray.
Egg couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Mr. Newt was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp when he was young...
For a whole month, Egger was obsessed with these weird magics, which also made him clearly realize a problem... The magic world is very big, and there are countless weird magics. Egger feels that what he has learned now is just the tip of the iceberg. , and at the same time, I couldn't help but feel sad for Voldemort...
I despised him originally, and now I despise him even more...
Of course, Egger is not naive enough to think that he now has the capital to fight against him, but Egger also feels that when Voldemort is truly resurrected, that may be the case for him...
As a month passed, notices for the new school year soon flew to thousands of households with a large group of owls. Egger and Hermione also received notices that they needed to buy books for the new school year.
Early in the morning, Egg was drinking milk in a daze, while Hermione looked at the book list for the new school year and her face turned red.
Egg looked puzzled at Hermione, then picked up the book and looked at it. His face suddenly darkened. A row of Gilderoy Lockhart came into view, and Egg felt sad.
How could you forget this thing?
"Don't make mistakes there..." Iger curled his lips a little jealously: "That guy is just a thief who steals other people's achievements. The only magic spell he is good at is to forget everything. The magic power in his body is pitiful, but you can do it. Kill him easily."
"How is that possible?!" Hermione said in disbelief: "I have read his books, and everything he wrote is clearly well-founded."
"That's because he will deliberately ask the wizard who did those things, and then after asking him clearly, he will forget about it." Egger was a little helpless. UU reading www．uukanshu.net
"But if he was really useless, why would Professor Dumbledore hire him as a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Hermione retorted.
Egg spread his hands: "It's not about hiring him, but because he is the only applicant. Everyone thinks that position is unlucky. As far as I know, Quirrell has been working for the longest time..."
"How could this happen..." Hermione said sadly: "So, Professor Dumbledore already knew about it?"
"Oh my god, Quirrell can't hide from Dumbledore even with Voldemort's help. Do you think Dumbledore won't be able to spot a liar who is seeking fame?" Egg sneered, drank the milk in the cup in one gulp, and then licked it. White lips: "Forgive Old Deng... He really has no other choice..."
Another owl cry came, and Egger could hear the owl's words: I'm so tired, I'm so tired...
Then I saw a dark gray flat-faced owl hit the glass with a bang.
"Errol..." Iger ran to the window with some worry and reached out to pick up the fat chicken with a round face: "I'm really afraid that Ron will tire him to death, otherwise I would give him an owl for Halloween this year... "
"It seems that Ron received the letter one day before us." Hermione opened the letter and took a look: "He asked us when we are going to Diagon Alley?"
"You can do it at any time." Iger waved his hand, and a line of words suddenly appeared on the back of the letter: "Lark?"
Luck suddenly flew in from the window: "Where are you going?"
That's what Luck said, and Egg sounded the same way, but in Hermione's ears, Luck's voice was like a cold sneer...
"The Weasley family..." Egg pointed at Errol: "Please escort him back by the way, um... lest he die on the road..."
