Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 237 Ye Qi is a treasure

The meat on the snow was devoured by invisible creatures, and large chunks of it were rapidly reduced.

While they were eating, Sainz went over and stroked them a few times.

The feel is quite bad, they seem to have almost no muscles, and the fur is directly attached to the skeleton.

Before he actually saw it, he could only build a profile in his mind like a blind man touching an elephant.

He had seen their images in movies and TV shows in his previous life, but he felt that it was a beautified image and their true appearance might be even uglier.

It is said that they are tall, with dragon heads and horse bodies, and every bone is clearly visible.

This reminded Sainz of a woman he saw on the Internet in his previous life who was so thin that only a skeleton was left. She was really skinny, but definitely not a beauty!

The Thestrals have a pair of huge bat-like wings on their shoulder blades, and they have an excellent sense of direction. As long as they are told the destination, they can take passengers to where they want to go.

The Thestrals are smart and loyal, and once tamed, they will never leave their masters.

After all, although both are Pegasus, the Thestrals and Hippogriffs have their own merits.

Sainz felt that, judging from their respective configurations, for both adult individuals, the Night Thestral's combat effectiveness might be weaker, but it seemed to be superior in flying speed.

Some information about these "invisible friends" flashed through his mind, and he focused his attention on "invisible".

All signs indicate that the invisibility of the Night Thestrals is different from that of the Invisible Beasts!

The invisibility of the Invisible Beast is a kind of magic that can be actively controlled, while the Invisibility of the Thestral is more like a passive talent.

It is interesting to see their condition of "witnessing death".

In the original storyline, Harry didn't see the Thestrals until his fifth year.

That's because he saw Cedric Diggory die during the Goblet of Fire match.

In fact, before this, he had "seen death with his own eyes" at least once. When he was a child, he saw his mother being killed with his own eyes!

Another time, I came close to seeing it with my own eyes, and it was Quirrell who was shattered into pieces.

The first time, he was too young to form any memory, and the second time, he fainted before Quirrell died!

Neither of these two times created a shock in his soul, or did not leave a deep enough impression on him.

When Sainz killed the Dementors, he deliberately observed the entire process of its death carefully, so that he could remember all the details as much as possible, and also to verify the conditions for "seeing the Thestrals".

He still cannot see the Thestrals, which means that being deeply impressed is not enough. Perhaps "seeing death with one's own eyes" requires a prerequisite: the same kind.

Sainz originally tried to cheat by using a "humanoid" to confuse the situation, but the result was obvious, he could not fool the "Night Thestral's detection mechanism."

The information currently available is actually basically consistent with what he concluded when he read a book in his previous life. However, who can say for sure about things in the magical world? Sai decided to verify it himself before accepting it.

In a sense, whether or not one can see the Thestrals is not actually decided by the Thestrals, at least not unilaterally by them.

Whether a person has witnessed the death of a fellow human being, only he himself knows best.

A person may be able to hide things from others, but he cannot hide things from himself!

Whether or not one can see the Thestrals is not decided unilaterally by the Thestrals, nor by a wizard.

If the Thestrals themselves do not have this trait, then what does it matter to them whether a wizard sees one of their own die or not?

It can only be seen when it has this quality and a wizard happens to meet the requirements.

Sai was thinking about these things not because he was bored, but because there was a puzzled question that was bothering him like an itch.

If a Thestral can be seen by someone, it must be because that person meets the requirements. So how do they know that someone meets the requirements the first time they meet? Even without meeting each other, how do they know that a wizard meets the requirements?

For example, when a Thestral flew over a dense forest, it did not notice that there was someone under the forest, and that person happened to meet the requirements, so it was witnessed without knowing it.

This screening shows that being seen by the Thestrals is not controlled by them subjectively, nor is it that they subconsciously identify that a person meets the requirements the moment they find one.

If we continue to infer in this way, it seems that the method or carrier of their method to determine whether a wizard meets the requirements is their exposed fur!

Their fur detects whether a wizard qualifies before or after being seen.

And this qualified wizard must also know that he qualifies.

Take Harry as an example. Before witnessing Cedric's death, he did not think he had seen death with his own eyes. Even though everyone, including Harry himself, knew that Quirrell died at his hands, he did not see it "with his own eyes".

If we can figure out the automatic detection mechanism of the Thestrals, it will be a very smart identification method.

If you use similar conditions to set up a spell, whether it is detecting malicious intent or automatically identifying counterattacks, it will be effective.

Only a wizard himself knows whether he has any certain thoughts in his heart.

For example, an automatic defense device is designed and installed in the yard. There is a "friend" who is always kind-hearted, but one day he suddenly has evil thoughts. The moment he has the evil thoughts, before he can make any move, the attack of the defense device has already arrived.

What is this? Isn’t this the instant red name detection in those games? You don’t even need to take any action. As long as you have the intention, you will be blacklisted immediately!

If Sai had this device, would he still have to worry about being ambushed?

Impossible!

When it is applied to protective gear, it will have the function of automatically protecting the owner.

If you use it on a flying sword... well... if you use it on a flying sword, you have to set a filter condition to start the inquiry, otherwise there will be a river of blood!

"Eat as much as you can. If it's not enough, I have more!"

Seeing that the amount of raw meat on the ground was decreasing, Sainz threw out two more pigs.

He stroked these sources of inspiration one by one, but another doubt arose in his mind.

"I wonder if this recognition by the Thestrals is permanent or just momentary?"

It was not mentioned in the original trajectory, and the existing data could not prove it, so he couldn't make a blind guess.

What is meant by permanent is that once you can see the Thestrals, you can see them forever.

The so-called instantaneous means that being able to see it now does not mean you will always have to wait to see it in the future.

The former is easy to understand.

The latter is a little more complicated.

If someone meets the requirements and sees the Thestrals, but unfortunately, three days later he is hit by a powerful forgetfulness spell and forgets that he has seen the death of his kind, then will he be able to see it again?

This situation is actually a bit similar to when Harry saw his mother being killed as a child but had no memory of it, but it is not exactly the same.

Based on the existing data, the most likely conclusion should be the second one.

It is indeed more likely that someone under the spell will forget that they have seen one of their own die and will never see the Thestrals again.

No matter which situation it is, real evidence is the most convincing.

It is not a good experiment because it involves the death of our own kind.

"Hey, Death Eaters, when are you coming?"
