Science and magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 188 In the old house
With brisk steps, Kyle almost hummed a tune.

It's not that he doesn't like working with professors.

It's just that when it comes to Peter, the professor is a bit unprofessional.

In fact, there were more things that could be done last night, but because of the professor's request, Kyle could only watch him, engraving the magic circle on Peter's body over and over again.

The skill of teaching the carving of the magic circle has been practiced, but all the time has been wasted.

Perhaps the only gain is that Pettigrew's resistance to pain has been strengthened.

Thinking of this in his heart, Kyle pushed open the door of the underground laboratory with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and then the smile froze on his face.

The professor was indeed discussing the resurrection potion with the portraits in the basement, but not in the usual room.

In order to block Kyle, the professor actually moved the portraits to the laboratory.

While letting the portraits watch him cut the pettigret, he discussed the potion with them.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the professor just looked up at him lightly, then continued to lower his head, concentrating on cutting the pettigret.

But I have to say that the professional ability of the professor is indeed unmatched.

Even with such a dual-purpose situation, there are still back and forth discussions with the portraits.

The helpless Kyle could only salute the professor first, then pointed to Pettigrew, and asked:
"Professor, can I take him away for an experiment?"

"No."

Alright... The professor's attachment to Pettigrew cannot be easily shaken by anyone.

The portraits smiled and looked at the scene in front of them.

They also knew something about the professor, so it wasn't surprising his choice.

Shrugging each other, these portraits chose to visit other places, giving the space to Snape and Kyle.

"What are you going to experiment with today?"

After the portraits left, the professor finally stopped what he was doing and let the poor mouse go for now.

"Expanding the magic circle." Kyle first waved his wand to clean up the experimental table, and then explained. :
"It's Hagrid's magic for growing giant pumpkins. I changed it into a magic circle."

Hearing Kyle's words, the professor's face looked a little confused, but he didn't interrupt him, just motioned him to continue explaining.

Seeing this, Kyle did not pause, but went on to say:

"This magic is actually very interesting. It doesn't just make the object bigger, but it also strengthens the object itself."

"Think about it, if the magic only had the effect of growing bigger, then the bigger pumpkin would be crushed by its own weight, but this kind of thing didn't happen."

The professor nodded and approved of Kyle's statement:
"How long have you been researching this magic circle, has it been tested in vivo?"

Kyle nodded.

"The effect on plants is the same as Hagrid's magic. It will make plants huge."

"And when it acts on animals, it will make the animals eat crazily, and then continue to break through their size limit."

This is the magic circle that Kyle will experiment with today.

The huge size will of course bring advantages in strength and speed.

Now that the tattoo magic circles in different forms will not affect each other.

Then Kyle will try it out, can this magic circle be applied to the form of Animagus?

The most ideal situation, of course, is that it will not be affected when it is in human form, but after being transformed into an Animagus, it can increase in size and become a huge dog.

Then on the big dog, tattoo multiple magic resistance-enhancing magic circles, as well as those that increase strength and speed, and all the magic circles that can increase the state, Kyle will tattoo them.

If this conjecture can be realized, maybe one day, Kyle's Animagus form can be physically anal with the real three-headed dog.

At that time, even if Kyle has not become a legend in the magic world, he can proudly say that I am worse than a three-headed dog.

But the idea is not without risks.This is why it is necessary to do experiments on Pettigrew first, and then transplant it into his own body.

Although the magic circle is tattooed on the body of the Animagus, the food eaten and the muscles grown are real.

So Kyle is very worried that once the magic circle is engraved on the body of the animal and allowed to expand in this form, even if it changes back to the human form, it may expand into a giant.

In fact, it is good to expand into a giant, at least it is even.

Kyle was worried, because the transformation of Animagus was irregular, maybe the meat growing on the dog's butt would appear directly on his face after transformation.

Even, if the extra meat gets into his internal organs, such as the heart or lungs, then he may die directly.

So in fact, this experiment, Pettigrew will take a huge risk, and Kyle is really grateful to him.

Kyle slowly told the professor the purpose of this experiment, as well as the possible risks and benefits, hoping that he could give some suggestions.

After his words fell, the professor kept frowning tightly.

After a long time, he opened his mouth while thinking:

"This is a very good idea. If successful, it can greatly improve your transformed combat ability."

"But the hidden dangers of this experiment are too great. Once there is a problem with the deformation, the dwarf is very likely to die instantly. This is a loss we cannot afford."

Kyle nodded silently.

The professor's so-called unbearable loss certainly did not mean losing the joy of torturing Pettigrew.

It's because Pettigrew is the only experimental product they can find that can transform Animagus.

However, Kyle's many experiments can only be transplanted to himself after verifying that the two forms before and after the transformation are safe.

After thinking about it, the professor went on to say:

"This experiment cannot be carried out in such a hurry. We must find a way to minimize the risk and find out some protective measures before we can start."

Although Kyle was extremely eager to verify, he had to agree with the professor's words.

After all, there is only one Peter. Once he is killed, Kyle's experiments on Animagus will not be carried out again until the resurrection potion is successful.

In the end, he could only nod unwillingly.

"Any other ideas?"

Seeing his unwillingness, the professor offered to conduct other experiments.

But Kyle thought about it, but in the end he just shook his head regretfully.

After all, the body of a mouse is too small. Before the miniature magic circle tattoo technology is developed, it may be difficult for Kyle to perform other operations.

Seeing this, the professor nodded dispensably, then called the portraits, ready to continue their discussion.

Kyle, on the other hand, withdrew from the laboratory, intending to see if there was anything else to do.

First came to the last floor of the basement.

After the hard work of the werewolves, a large number of magic square bricks have been painted.

Kyle looked at the quantity, and it turned out to be enough to arm the two walls.

So after he signaled the werewolves to stop what they were doing, he waved his wand and directed the magic bricks to fly to where they should be.

I saw these square bricks first flew into the air in a circle, and then flew to the corner of the basement one by one, forming a straight row in an orderly manner.

Row by row, the basement walls gradually grew higher and higher until they reached the ceiling.

Then Kyle, on the other side of the basement, did the same thing again.

Soon, two walls shining with magical aura stood on both sides of the basement, one east and one west.

This is only the first step.

When the two walls were finally built, Kyle took out a magic circle mold and handed it to the werewolf.

This is the magic circle that Kyle prepared for the wall at the beginning.

Although the square brick itself already has a strong defensive ability, Kyle feels that it is not enough.

The new magic circle will be engraved on the inner wall of the old house.

And when the walls of the entire old house are replaced with magic square bricks, Kyle will also add a defensive magic circle on the outside.

Under such a triple defense, the old house will become an impenetrable fortress and his last protection.

Until then, Kyle can roam the magic world unscrupulously.

Once you provoke a strong enemy, you can fight if you can, and hide in the old house if you can't, and go out to continue fighting when you can't.

This kind of thing sounds bad, but I don't know why, as long as Kyle thinks of this kind of battle thinking where the enemy advances and the enemy retreats, the enemy retreats and advances, there is a slight excitement.

It didn't take Kyle too much time to deal with the two magic walls.

So after leaving the werewolves, he wandered to Avila again.

This is also a place that Kyle attaches great importance to.

For the four werewolves conducting experiments, Kyle would induce them to transform once a day without interruption.

And these four werewolves, Kyle also provided them with different requirements.

Physically strong, Kyle asked him to continue exercising his body and continue to highlight this feature of him.

And specifically ordered Kreacher to provide it with various high-protein foods to supplement his body's consumption.

In the same way, for the one with strong magic power, Kyle asked him to use magic continuously every day, and then recover his magic.

They even found him a hard-to-find magical potion, just to make his specialties in this area more prominent.

Now, the experiment has begun to bear fruit.

Emerson, as the first experimental subject, is a relatively balanced character in itself.

Physique, magical power, and will are not outstanding.

So what Kyle asked of him was to let him maintain his previous routine of life and not make any changes.

As Kyle guessed, his control over werewolf madness is now the worst.

There is only a slight improvement that is almost invisible compared to the first transformation.

In addition to Emerson, an example of negative reinforcement emerged, that of the physically strong werewolf.

After this guy transforms now, the madness is even more difficult to control, and the crazy time has also become longer.

However, this result is not difficult to understand.

After all, the source of werewolf madness comes from their blood.

And constantly improving his physique like him will inevitably drive the strength of the werewolf blood, and then intensify his madness.

But that's not to say that the weaker the werewolves, the better.

True, if the werewolf's body could be weakened, the madness would indeed be alleviated.

But as the body weakens, the werewolf's ability to withstand madness will inevitably decline.

So Kyle has changed the requirements for him.

This werewolf needs to gradually lower his physique to find a standard suitable for werewolves.

He needs to find a balance between strong and weak, an optimal physical condition against madness.

The balance found by this werewolf will become a benchmark for future werewolves.

The remaining two werewolves, who are constantly honing their magic power and will, are making the best progress.

They have even vaguely felt the existence of self-will.

It seems that there is only a film between them and success.

Maybe one day, they will be able to break through the membrane and successfully grasp that madness.

After inspecting the experimental group of four, Kyle visited the group of werewolves who were undergoing special training.

These guys have been receiving the teachings of the portraits since they moved into Black's old house.

And there is only one goal of training, which is to improve their combat capabilities.

Their instructor's name was Stein, Sirius' cousin.

During his lifetime, he was the head of the Auror office and concurrently served as an Auror instructor.

So this guy is pretty good at training elite wizards.

In this guy's words, it's just a piece of shit, but after his training, it can become a strong enough piece of shit.

Kyle doesn't care how powerful the shit is, but these werewolves have really changed dramatically.

If it was originally said that these werewolves were hunters who were skilled in bows and arrows in the mountains and had strong bodies.

So now it has been integrated into an excellent soldier by Stein.

Looking at the spirit of these werewolves, Kyle knew that they had reached a bottleneck.

Only a real battle can completely sublimate them.

So after thinking about it, Kyle looked at Stein:
"What is the relationship between the Black family and the current Auror office? Can you arrange them in?"

Stein was a very rough-looking man with a beard and a scar on his face.

But don't be fooled by his appearance.

This guy was in the Ministry of Magic back then, but he was called a cunning hyena.

Cunning, vicious and greedy.

is a dangerous role.

I saw him thinking for a while, but he didn't answer Kyle's question, but gave another suggestion:
"I see what you mean, Kyle. You just want these guys to go through some fighting. In that case, it's better to let them go to the border than join the Auror office."

"Go to the border?" Kyle chewed the suggestion in his mind.

"That's right," Stein didn't make a fool of himself, and directly stated his reasons:
"I suggest that you let them join a smuggling team. Not only do you have to deal with Auror's pursuit, but you also have to beware of the black hands of your peers at any time. Only then can you train the talents you need."

"And," speaking of this, Stein paused meaningfully: "Maybe these guys can bring you some unexpected gains."

"Magic materials, geniuses who have found a way out, and some... desperate people who have nowhere to go!"

The guy's last voice was very long.

I have to admit that Kyle was tempted.

Why did these werewolves give in so easily?

Why did Kyle let them be grateful to Dazzle so easily and completely accept their hearts?

Because werewolves are a group of desperate people who have nowhere to go.
