HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

"Two years? Isn't that asking too much?"

Xia Ke said with some difficulty, "Leaving aside the intricate setup required for a magic array device that draws down celestial energy and converts it into magic power, let's just talk about our Karl family's island."

"That's an island! An island big enough to hold 100 Hogwarts!"

Teach knew that his two-year request was a bit excessive, but his body couldn't afford to wait three years due to its continued deterioration.

"Xia Ke, can you take a look at how many gray hairs I have?"

Before Xia Ke could check, Teach answered himself, "Two-tenths, almost three-tenths of my hair is white. This means that I've already used up 30% of my average human lifespan of 70 to 80 years."

"Subtracting the past 20 years, tell me... how much time do I have left?"

After hearing this, Xia Ke realized the seriousness of the problem.

As a human-dragon, she has a lifespan of thousands to tens of thousands of years, so Xia Ke is not very sensitive to the passage of time and has a very dull sense of it.

Teach loosened her long hair that hung down to her waist, picked out a white hair from it, and said, "Shake, you're not a magician, you don't know the specific meaning of 'equivalent exchange' in magic."

"To touch the mysterious, even transcend the mysterious, and become an omnipotent god, with the body of an ordinary human being."

"How could such an act of defying the natural fate of a species go unpunished?"

"My current magic power comes from 'small-source magic power' squeezed out of myself, at the cost of an equivalent loss of lifespan and strength."

"If this cost continues, I, as a human being, won't have many years left to live."

Therefore, the experimental development of 'Great Source Magic' is of utmost urgency.

"After all... the more advanced the magic becomes, the more magic power is required, and my small human body can't afford to consume it."

Seeing Teach's self-pity, Xia Ke couldn't help but say with heartache, "Master... why do you insist on being human? You could have..."

Teach knew what Shake was going to say and waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "While it's true that using magic to transform oneself into a magical life form with an incredibly long lifespan can extend one's lifespan in an incredible way, such a life form has its flaws."

"Just like you, Xia Ke, the flaw that comes with your long lifespan is a blurred sense of the passage of time."

"I can't possibly spend thousands or even tens of thousands of years gradually achieving the magic of magic in this ambiguous timeframe. You have to know how far human technology will develop in thousands of years. By then, will the magic I achieve still have any meaning?"

......

After eavesdropping on the conversation between her teacher Teach and Shakky outside the Scorpion Gate, Hermione remained silent.

It wasn't until Teach summoned her for eavesdropping that Hermione tiptoed into the Chamber of Secrets.

Teach placed his large hand on Hermione's head and stroked it gently, saying softly, "My disciple, don't even think about using your 'life-type' analytical array to extend my lifespan. It's pointless."

"Spending energy on meaningless things is simply wasting limited time; constantly moving forward within the limited time of life is a form of self-transcendence."

"Therefore, you, my disciple, must properly settle your mind and focus."

"I will handle my own problems. It's not your place to worry about these things, you little brat."

After saying that, Teach withdrew his hand and went to the experimental table.

On the magic array plate on the stage, there were two things: Lupin's blood and Lupin's flesh.

Tichy conducted preliminary studies using scientific instruments and discovered that Lupin's flesh cells were completely different from those of humans.

Although Lupin has a human appearance when he transforms into a werewolf, through research, Teach is confident that Lupin's inner self is no longer human.

It has the appearance of a human, but no human identity.

"Hermione, come here and draw your 'Structure and Cell' analytical array."

In Hermione's depiction, Teach begins fiddling with scientific instruments, and then directs Shakky to use magic to conjure a full moon on the laboratory ceiling.

Teach Carr had some general ideas about werewolves.

That's the werewolf's mutation gene, a recessive gene.

Vampires, on the other hand, have a dominant gene.

When a person is infected by a werewolf, certain external factors are needed to activate the recessive gene, thus transforming the 'person' into a werewolf. However, once a vampire is infected, the dominant and recessive genes ensure that the person remains a vampire forever, with no possibility of change.

Therefore, it can be inferred that as long as the werewolf recessive gene in the body can be controlled, then the werewolf transformation can be self-controlled.

So Teach wanted to know why being bitten by a werewolf would lead to infection and turn one into a werewolf.

How do werewolves transform?

Why can a full moon turn infected people into werewolves?

What or what substance is in the moonlight of the full moon that causes werewolves to transform?

What causes werewolves, after transforming into humans, to lose their human rationality and become madly murderous?

Once these points are understood, and further detailed research is conducted, werewolves will no longer be seen as unstable and dangerous creatures, but rather as controllable warriors.

They are terrifying warriors capable of overturning the traditional magical world and the human technological world.

After Teach finished setting up the modern equipment, he instructed, "Hermione, when the magical simulated moonlight shines down, you must carefully observe the changes in the 'blood' and 'flesh' on your transmutation circle."

Light is a kind of magic as great as time and space.

Some say that the existence of light is what made the universe exist.

Without light, the world is plunged into darkness, and in darkness, everything is nothingness.

[God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.]

Teach had tried to understand this question using scientific and magical knowledge, but he couldn't figure it out at all. This problem was clearly beyond the comprehension of a human being.

As the moonlight shone through the scientific instruments from the simulated full moon created by Shake, Hermione dared not miss a single detail as she observed and felt the changes in the two materials on the transmutation array.

When simulated moonlight shone on the flesh material, no change occurred.

Seeing this, Teach drew a refining circle on the scientific instrument, and had Shake add a kind of electromagnetic particle fluctuation to the moonlight that was simulated by magic and shone on it.

Under the illumination of these moonlight particle waves, Lupin's blood and flesh began to change.

Hermione noticed that the 'blood' on the array began to sway inexplicably, then became agitated and boiled.

The meat chunks began to swell, exhibiting signs of division and proliferation.

Seeing this, Teach quickly drew his own analytical alchemy array of 'decomposition and recombination' and began to analyze it.

The life energy within the material's blood was inexplicably rising and increasing rapidly, as was the energy contained within the material's flesh.

Teach looked at Hermione, seeking different experimental results. Hermione exclaimed incredulously, "Teacher! The cells in the blood and flesh are dividing, and the speed and number of divisions far exceed the limits of division in the human and animal bodies!"

"At the same time, the biological genes within the blood and flesh underwent very strange mutations."

"The material factors inside genes are arranged abnormally and violently, but these disordered and violent individual genes are connected through the arrangement of group genes, and incredibly, they have achieved a delicate balance."

Just as Teach and Hermione were about to use their respective analysis arrays to further explore and excavate, the material blood and flesh returned to calm, and the mutation was rapidly ceasing.

The energy within stopped its inexplicable increase and expansion, and was recycled in a cooling manner, like thermal expansion and contraction.

The cell also stopped its abnormal division, was engulfed and absorbed by another cell, and then gradually diminished, eventually merging into one.

At this critical moment, Teach shouted to Hermione, "Quick, Hermione, use your analytical array to extract those werewolf cells that have split off."

At the same time, Teach also used his analytical array to urgently decompose and extract the energy from the flesh and blood.

Xia Ke had been waiting in ambush for a long time.

After Hermione and Teach finished the extraction, they quickly used pure, attribute-free natural magic to envelop the extracted 'werewolf cells' and 'alien energy', then sealed them and finally suppressed them to preserve them independently.
