Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 135: Deciphering the Marauder's Map

In the normal timeline, Sainz was busy completing gifts for his two roommates and Tom's mount.

In the timeline snatched from the time converter, he immersed himself in the study of magic.

Now that I have more knowledge, I can now understand the live point map that was previously incomprehensible to me.

The Marauder's Map is indeed not a separate alchemical item. Strictly speaking, it is related to Hogwarts, and can even be said to be one with it.

In his previous life, Sainz had guessed that this thing might have formed a contract with Hogwarts, and might even be related to the legendary Book of Admission, Pen of Acceptance and other items that ordinary people could not see.

Now this speculation has become clearer.

Wizards, in the final analysis, still have to compete in knowledge and magic.

A Marauder's Map covers almost the entire Hogwarts, even showing Dumbledore's whereabouts.

Dumbledore was not just a powerful wizard, he was also the headmaster of Hogwarts, a position that had certain privileges and was not just a title.

Sainz felt it was more like a magical contract.

Later, Umbridge, the headmaster, was not recognized by Hogwarts and could not even enter the headmaster's office.

The whereabouts of the principal, Old Deng, can be monitored by a map and remain unnoticed for a long time. Can this really be achieved by an ordinary alchemical item?

Let’s look at two places that are not monitored by the Marauder’s Map: the Room of Requirement and Slytherin’s Chamber of Secrets.

Although it has no basis, the Room of Requirement looks like Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets.

Judging from Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, these chambers were probably built privately by other people after Hogwarts was built, so it is possible that they are not under the surveillance of Hogwarts.

In addition to being unable to monitor the secret room, it seems that the Marauder's Map is also unable to monitor the pipes inside the walls.

But it can also monitor corridors and secret passages.

contradiction?

That can be explained!

Maybe there is a minimum requirement for the space it can display, such as how big the diameter needs to be!

Saiens listed so many inferences not to prove how great the Marauder's Map is, or how "rubbish" it is!

I just want to say that the success of the Marauder's Map was accidental, not because it contained some unexplorable and unbreakable profound alchemical knowledge.

He speculated that the four-person team at that time might have just happened to encounter a fleeting window of opportunity and created this map by chance.

The fact that there is only one copy of this map also proves this point from the side.

If it is really an item that can be easily copied, it is hard to say about other people, but why doesn't Peter Pettigrew, who lives in fear, prepare one for himself? Wouldn't it be safer to lurk in Hogwarts this way?

These speculations are actually of no use. Sainz thought about them and no longer paid attention to them.

He analyzed a spell from the Marauder's Map, the Human Tracking Spell - whereabouts will be revealed.

Sainz knew this spell before, but it didn't have such a powerful effect.

The Marauder's Map not only shows people's traces, but also their names!

Even the fake Moody's can be identified, which is a bit incredible.

The power of the polyjuice potion lies in the fact that the person will be completely transformed into another person while taking the potion. It is a very advanced technology.

But the fake Moody's real name, Barty Crouch, appeared on the Marauder's Map, which made Harry very confused for a while.

Why did Mr. Crouch search Snape's office late at night? !

When he saw this, Sainz had a guess. Maybe the fake Moody revealed his true form because he didn't refill his potion during that period of time?

But then he felt that this guess was untenable, because Crouch appeared again in the image of Moody and was lucky enough to get the map before Harry and Snape.

After receiving the map, the fake Moody was very surprised and exclaimed: "This map is really extraordinary!"

Taken together, these clues seem to suggest that the Marauder's Map can indeed reveal the real name of the fake Moody who has taken Polyjuice Potion.

To say the least, even if it couldn't see through the polyjuice potion, the fact that it could reveal everyone's name was already amazing.

This is not something that can be achieved by a simple human trace spell.

It’s not like Sainz hasn’t cast the Human Tracks Spell before, but it can only give him feedback on whether there are people around, and it can’t let him know the people’s names.

There is one thing that the Human Footprints Curse cannot do, but the Marauder's Map can do, which is to identify the Animagus.

After studying and understanding all this, the live map no longer meant much to Sainz. What he wanted was a way to travel the entire area, not a simple local map, even if this map was very detailed.

Such a special item that came into being by chance did not have much appeal to Sainz.

The reason why he hasn't sent it out yet is that he has not yet been able to block his traces on the Marauder's Map.

He had been studying this for a large part in the Room of Requirement since he entered the third grade.

There are two solutions to this problem. One is to directly add some stuff to the Marauder's Map so that it ignores the Sai someone.

The second is to find a way to make his "mystery" as high as the Room of Requirement, so that Hogwarts can't monitor him and he disappears from the map.

With Isaiah's personality, he would of course choose the second option if given the chance. After all, who would object to having many ways to save their life?

Of course, even if he couldn't do the second one, Mr. Sai would not occupy this old parchment forever. He would find a way to return it to Harry after getting rid of the "monster in the Chamber of Secrets".

In addition to studying the live map, research on luminous powder is also progressing in an orderly manner.

In the research and design of luminescent powder, he had previously proposed five key technical nodes. After he found a fixative, two of them were solved at once.

This fixative is the juice from the thorny stems of Christmas cactus!

The wood of the African tung tree is ground into powder, and then after being soaked in this juice and water-blasted, it turns into a non-luminous black powder.

Not only does it achieve the goal of not emitting light when not excited, but it also solves the problem of magic power loss.

When he first got this black powder, Sainz thought the experiment had failed and it just turned into ordinary carbon powder!

Unexpectedly, after taking it out and stirring it with the magic wand, its luminous properties were restored.

The two key technical nodes were solved so easily.

He didn't expect such progress in just over a month.

Sainz thought to himself, "Could it be that the previous estimate was a bit too conservative? At this rate, it might not even take two years?!"

…………

When you're working hard, time flies by. By the time Sainz finished making the gift for his roommate and the mount for Tom, it was already the end of October.

"Tom, how's Simba?"

"There's no better partner than him, Sainz, I love him so much!" Tom said excitedly.

Simba, the mighty griffin, who is six meters long, three and a half meters tall at the shoulder and has a wingspan of fourteen meters, excitedly flies up and down on his own Griffin Cliff.

Tom stood less than 1.4 meters tall, and against the backdrop of his huge body, he looked like a large bowling pin.

Not only Tom is satisfied with such a mount, but Sai himself also wants one!

"Tom, it's Halloween soon and I need your help!"

"I will handle it!"
