0209 People are doing it, but the sky is watching
Following Dumbledore's narration, a brand new door slowly opened in front of Aini, and many doubts in the past were answered.
If Aini hadn't followed Dumbledore's advice and was greedy for the powerful power of black magic, especially the Unforgivable Curse, he would have found that the reason why many wizards embraced black magic is precisely because it is much higher than ordinary spells. cost-effective.
Not all black magic has a high upper limit, some of them may only be equal to ordinary magic, and some of them are slightly weaker.
But they have one thing in common, that is, the price/performance ratio is much higher than ordinary spells.
To give a typical example, as an offensive curse, the thunderbolt explosion can also kill people. Peter even used it to blow up half a street and killed 12 Muggles. This record seems to be comparable to that of Avada. It is not inferior to Suo Ming.
But this is not the case.
Breaking through a target with the same degree of protection, if the magic level, total mana and mental consumption required to explode with a thunderbolt are all 10, then if the Killing Curse can be successfully effective, it can be achieved with a relative index of no more than 5 units. Effect.
And as killing intent condenses and proficiency increases, the required standards can continue to be lowered.
Either in pursuit of their own strength, or in order to defeat an invincible enemy, or just pure love and curiosity, or just to protect themselves, many wizards have thrown themselves into the embrace of black magic.
However, when they use their first black magic, they will be marked by two beings.
The first is the giver of power.
For wizards, the reason why black magic is more cost-effective is not because it is better, but because some alien existences have lent their power.
For those individuals, Aini tentatively called them "peepers".
There is no love for no reason in the world, and those peepers from other worlds will not give for no reason.
Every time black magic is used, it will deepen the traces of the corresponding voyeur in this world, and gradually make its concept here clearer.
One side gains strength, and the other side deepens the concept. It seems that both get what they want, and it is a win-win ending.
actually not.
Because the second thing that marks the user of the dark arts is this world, and it is by no means a reward for his behavior of leading wolves into a house.
"Albus, are you saying that those voyeurs might interfere with our world?"
Hearing that now Aini is suddenly a little bit out of control of his mood, how can he perceive that the painting style of the world is getting more and more strange after he advances again?
"Peeper? Appropriate."
Dumbledore snorted softly, "Those aliens, um, the voyeurs are already interfering in this world. Think about it, how many incidents are related to black magic?"
"But these are just means, not the purpose of the peepers, aren't they?"
A bird-watcher asked back. Just now, after realizing that the connection with Aini had become blurred, Fox teleported over immediately.
"Yes, we have reason to believe that the voyeurs have bigger plans, such as establishing a channel with the magic world, or imprinting their concepts on the world's consciousness in order to steal some authority."
Dumbledore took a sour look at Fawkes, since it was no longer his bird since its last nirvana.
"It is conceivable that this goal is not easy to achieve. At least from the Dark Ages to the present, wizards have not noticed any special changes."
"But if left alone, one day they will succeed, and that may spell disaster for our world."
The situation of dark wizards in the magic world is not good, but compared with the disaster they may cause, Aini feels that the forces of all parties are still too gentle to them.
The same is true for black magic. Shouldn't the spread and use of black magic be completely eradicated and banned?
"It could also be an opportunity."
Dumbledore muttered indifferently, and after seeing Aini's face that could be regarded as a "shocked" emoticon, he laughed narrowly again.
"Relax, Annie. You know, she has a will."
The old headmaster stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, "Under the exclusion of this world, the influence of the outside world will gradually wear away with time, and according to the observations of some of our old guys, the traces of the peepers have not been significantly strengthened in decades."
"The influence has always been two-way. While they are interfering with us, they are also being observed by wizards who have reached a certain level, and they have been very effective."
"But it's too risky to do so..."
Aini still couldn't accept it. Aren't those great wizards afraid of being overwhelmed?
"Everything has risks, Aini. If we dare not conduct indirect research on voyeurs in our own world, then once a hostile existence comes here through other means, it will be judged by the level of power it exhibits. Look, there's no question it's going to be a disaster."
The smile on Dumbledore's face gradually subsided, wizards had their own pride, and it was never their style to bury their heads in the sand and wait for the judgment of fate.
From ancient times to the present, the status of human beings has been achieved under the guidance of wisdom, not by struggle.
"You're right, Dumbledore. We can't pin the fate of the world on each other's incompetence."
Aini was convinced that there is not only one way to the earth, and it is better to prepare early when the risks are controllable than to be caught off guard when a disaster suddenly strikes.
"And it's not just us who act, but also her."
This time Dumbledore didn't make any extra moves, but Aini also understood what "her" was pointing to. It was the existence that erased the relevant records before the Dark Ages, that is, the will of the world.
"Aini, what is the success rate of your brewing blood tonic?"
Inexplicably, Dumbledore asked a question that had nothing to do with the previous one.
"Uh, this thing has a failure rate?"
Blood medicine?
Although it is not the most basic potion, it is not complicated to brew. When Aini was still a potion apprentice, he rarely made mistakes.
"There was a time when I had a success rate of over 80.00% in brewing blood tonics."
Snape, who had been diving beside him, suddenly surfaced, but what he said surprised Aini.
With the method of potion masters, shouldn't making blood tonifying medicine be done by hand?
"Don't be surprised. As I said just now, after a wizard uses the first black magic, he will be marked by the world. But for those wizards who are weak or use black magic infrequently, the will of the world is not There will be more interference."
"But once a certain line is crossed, the wizards who cross the line will be targeted by the world. You can refer to Quirrell last year."
The old headmaster picked up the topic again, "Severus used to be obsessed with black magic. After a certain day, whether he was refining potions or in his daily life, he would always encounter all kinds of black magic. Such an emergency."
Snape's expression on the side was very complicated. He stepped on a malfunctioning Portkey while walking, only to find that the material was eaten by moths when he threw the material into the cauldron, and even the owl who brought him the package would get lost...
Looking back on those days now, he still feels a chill from the tailbone straight up to the heavenly spirit.
People are doing it, and God is really watching it!
