Chapter 574 The Girl in the Painting

Anton was silent in the ocean of knowledge and couldn't extricate himself. He was awakened by a calling.

When he slowly raised his head from the mercury-like pages, the whole world became blood-red, and his brain was even more dizzy. Then, he saw an old witch.

"!!!"

"Oh~ Mrs. Pince, hello~"

Mrs. Pince looked at him in silence. At this moment, Anton's face was pale, like a patient who had experienced a long illness and was waiting to swallow his last breath. His eyes were terribly red, and he couldn't help sighing, "I really don't know these things. What's so good about books."

She put a cup of hot medicine into Anton's hand, "Drink it, you will feel better."

Anton's nose twitched, and his eyes lit up, "It will take a long time for such a good recovery potion, thank you so much."

Mrs. Pince put the book away, "Professor Snape configured it. He is crazy. He recommended you to read this book!"

She looked at Anton with a complicated expression, "You watched for 8 hours, and I don't know how you persisted."

Anton's eyes widened suddenly, "I missed the Protection of Fantastic Beasts class and Charms class in the afternoon!"

"Heh~" Mrs. Pince chuckled, "It seems that your thinking is still normal, and you have not been affected by black magic books. Anna Rozier from Ravenclaw has visited you, and I have asked her to help you. I'm going to ask for leave."

"But you also missed dinner at the same time. I think you should really go hungry all night as a lesson, so that you know what is enough!"

"After drinking the medicine, leave quickly, I'm going to get off work."

"Oh, yes, thank you Mrs. Pince."

...

Anton discovered a miraculous thing, the taste of Lao Si's potion was surprisingly good.

After drinking the potion, he became full of energy, and his whole body became clear.

So he walked briskly towards the back kitchen of the school.

Hey, how could I let myself be hungry at this time.

I have to say that living in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft and Wizardry is a very happy thing. There are school managers who selflessly provide countless supplies, and all kinds of ingredients from the wizarding world have passed through so many elves. Meticulously crafted, each one is of a quality that cannot be found in the top restaurants outside.

Anton never worried about food when he was in school.

Maybe it's because of the loss of energy, but now he's so hungry that he can easily eat a whole roasted lamb... Well, let's forget about the sheep.

He didn't know what was wrong with that mad witch, who kept bleating at sheep.

Skinning and cramping, deboning and flesh cutting, internal organs, glands, and even nerves are all involved.

This crazy witch is definitely not as eager to treat the disabled as the legend in the city, she is more like trying to peep into the mysteries of life through magic props.

In other words, in the eyes of ancient wizards, magic props are related to life.

Unlike the alchemy that manipulates stones in an attempt to turn them into gold, magic prop masters hope to use these creations to make up for their own deficiencies.

For example, the soul residence similar to the Horcrux - the magic oil lamp.

For example, when you are in despair, you close yourself and wait for the opportunity with the ups and downs of fate-the magic drift bottle.

There are many fairy tales about magic props in the wizarding world, but Anton miraculously did not find a place for magic props in the teaching system of Hogwarts, or in the modern magic system.

On the contrary, it was the alchemy practiced by the ancient wizards, which was very small, and became the mainstream under various campaigns.

Little wizards can take electives in the sixth grade. If the academic performance of each course is not bad, it is enough to support the foundation of learning this skill.

"Magic props..."

"Modern magic system?"

Anton lowered his head thoughtfully, his eyes lit up suddenly, "Damn, Monopoly!"

He couldn't help but recall all kinds of things that were monopolized by pure-blood families and the Ministry of Magic, such as the breeding technology of dragon farms on fire dragons, such as the technology of making Floo powder and wands.

Not only magic props, but also ritual magic, and even subjects unknown to Anton, all of which have been abandoned by the modern magic system.

But think about it carefully, the suitcase of Newt of the Scamander family, the hookah skull made by Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the clock of the Weasley family that can show the situation of the family, the one with its own mind that can fly Car……

Hogwarts' Room of Response, Sorting Hat, Gryffindor Sword Hidden Technology, Erised Mirror, Pensieve...

Oh, by the way, there is also the invisibility cloak, one of the three Deathly Hallows held by Harry Potter...

The ghost knows whether these production skills have been handed down, after all, the producers themselves have families and descendants.

Anton took a sharp breath.

"Damn, these pure-blood families simply occupy all the good things. After the screening, the rest are planned into a modern magic system!"

"No wonder they follow the family tradition, but they are willing to make the magic school the mainstream of society."

"Huh~"

Anton suddenly realized, "It seems that I am also from a pure blood family?"

I don't know if he can learn the knowledge of the Weasley family's magic props from Arthur.

This is really a bit...

Well, you know, his father in this body has never had any contact with Arthur, who knows why they had a falling out.

Anton rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "You can try it, the big deal is that you can't get it, and there is no loss for me."

Most of the books about magic props in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry library are some very basic reading materials, and occasionally they are basically similar to the high-end fields such as "Take apart the chest of the fire dragon and count how many ribs are there". It crosses the two major subjects of magic zoology and potion science.

Associating these messy things for no reason, Anton finally let his tense spirit relax.

So, he once again immersed himself in the field of the "biological magic props" he learned today.

He came up with this name blindly. Originally, he thought that this thing should be called 'flesh magic item', but this would make him look like a dark wizard, and 'biological magic item' sounded more serious.

Professor Snape recommended this book because of his own intentions. The study of mad witches naturally became advanced knowledge after Anton learned the black magic of "Life Creep" and other knowledge of potions. The thinking is very coherent.

If I had to describe it in one word...

The more Western-style name is "vitality", and the name that conforms to Anton's aesthetics is "vigor".

Life exists in nature. In various activities and behaviors, magic power is accompanied by jumps. This magic jump in turn affects the wizard's body, not only the four soul aspects of 'memory, emotion, will, and thinking' The elements of the body also affect the vitality of the flesh and blood body.

The crazy witch's method is to solidify this vitality into the flesh and blood body and refine it into magic props to make up for the shortcomings of the human being.

Such as vision.

The second half of her book is almost entirely devoted to a magic item—the 'Hundred Eyeballs' necklace.

The snake's vision, the bee's vision, the dove's vision, the eagle's vision...

There are also the eyes of various magical animals, such as the divination bird that can see death, such as the invisible monster that can spy on the future, such as the cat and leopard whose eyes are born with the talent of "hypnosis" and "soul fetching"...

In fact, it is not difficult to understand why any wizard who is on the road of research would not think of a way to obtain the ability to see these magical animals.

It's just that everyone uses different methods and obtains them in different ways.

There are three kinds of magic props similar to this method that Anton has seen. One is the magic eyeball in the Bojinbok store in Knockturn Lane, the other is the active eyeball in the shop that sells ritual magic materials, and there is The magic eye of Mad-Eye Moody, a retired employee of the Auror Office.

It is said that his eyeballs have the function of seeing through.

Clothes, walls, the back of his head, even the invisibility cloak...

Forced.

"Huh?"

Anton was thinking about it, when suddenly something flashed out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help taking a few steps back, looking at the paintings on the wall.

This is a brand-new picture frame, in which there is a girl who bends over to look at the fish and shrimp curiously in the river. Seeing Anton's view, she covers the large neckline of her French skirt in panic.

Anton raised his eyebrows and looked at the picture frame next to him. There were a few dwarfs inside, "Dear Mr. Dwarves, I don't think I've seen this picture frame before, and the women inside are also very strange?"

"Oh, Mr. Weasley." The dwarves who were wrestling and frolicking came together in front of the picture frame and said in a hurry.

"New here, she is very shy and doesn't like to chat with us."

"It's part of the materials donated by the school directors."

"The school directors haven't added new portraits to the castle for a long time. It's great that we have new members joining..."

"The taste of these school managers is getting worse and worse, this girl looks so thin, I could cut her waist off with one hand."

"Hey, what do you know, the aesthetics of wizards is different from that of us dwarves, you idiot."

"You are so ungentlemanly, how can you judge a young girl, I am ashamed to be with you."

"You... you... everyone, hit him!"

"Oh~"

Anton tilted his head to look at the girl in the frame, raised his eyebrows, and one eye turned into a colorful vortex with dark green dots inside. The other eye turned into azure blue, faintly glowing with lightning.

"I feel……"

"Is she different from you?"

The corners of Anton's mouth were slightly raised, "I smelled 'emotion', how could the portrait have such a unique emotion mobilized by thinking, this kind of emotion full of vitality is different from your current emotion, it should be It takes a whole soul."

Boom~

One of his hands turned into countless black threads of the soul, twisting and spreading into the frame, and in an instant, all of them disappeared into the frame.

"Wow, you see, Mr. Weasley can enter the frame!" The beaten dwarf yelled, causing the surrounding people in the frame to marvel and point to Anton.

"Anthony Weasley!" A portrait of a knight pointed at Anton angrily, "You are so ungentlemanly that you want to attack a portrait! You..."

Anton glanced back at him suddenly, the knight immediately swallowed all the remaining words, opened and closed his mouth, and finally closed it obediently.

Black lines spread across the frame, drowning the screaming girl in an instant.

"Strange~"

Anton twisted his shoulders, and the black thread returned to a white and tender slender arm.

He rubbed his chin with some doubts, staring straight at the girl in the frame, "No? Could it be that I misread it?"

Anton shrugged, apologized to the other party, turned around and continued walking towards the back kitchen.

Behind him, several self-proclaimed gentlemen in the picture frames began to condemn Anton, and their voices became louder as he went away.

In the new frame, the girl sat on the ground as if relieved, her face flushed and trembling.

Tears were about to overflow from my eyes.

It looks very cute and pitiful.

So the portrait gentlemen became more and more indignant.
