Chen Ang temporarily lives in Bojin's property in Hogsmeade, which is the only village in the UK that is full of wizards. Hogwarts School is located next to the big lake that originated from this village. The architectural style here is weird. , the cottages are covered with thatched roofs, like a medieval village, even though wizards have been able to build buildings as splendid and tall as the Ministry of Magic, with a modern style.
But the neuroticism and eccentricity inscribed in the blood of wizards makes them make all kinds of choices that make normal people feel strange.
On the one hand, wizards with magical powers have different living habits from Muggles. Most Muggles consider things dangerous and troublesome to them as just waving their wands. It seems that there are no words for care and neatness in the dictionary, because for Muggles, the habit of placing things in disorder will make them unable to find things, but for wizards, it is just a matter of flying curses.
They are not afraid of breaking or damaging things, because as long as you are not a magic item, a 'repair as new' can restore things that were accidentally damaged, and when they are messed up, a 'clean up' can make things They are as neat as ever.
Therefore, wizards have a different understanding of damage, injury, and mess than Muggles. They simply cannot care about these troubles that can be easily solved by magic. indulgence.
On the other hand, the bloodline endowed with magic power makes them appear nervous, crazy and weird. According to the results of Chen Ang's research on Bojin's bloodline, the magic power surging in the bloodline will erode their rationality. This result makes Chen Ang I was a little surprised, because wizards eventually developed like Cthulhu, or they eventually tended to magic.
Magic power is completely different from the rational perspective of human observation of the world. Magic power is another way of observing the world. From a scientific and human perspective, it looks a bit chaotic and difficult to interpret. Its logic and internal laws are seen by humans. It was indescribable, a mess.
The magical power of wizards is ultimately indescribable.
The more powerful wizards are, the more insane they are. Of course, this is also the proof that they are closer to the truth of magic, because this kind of magic itself is chaotic and irrational. If the arcane skills Chen Ang learned are the rationality and wisdom of magic If so, then the magic of wizards in this world is the manifestation of the chaotic and disordered side of magic.
Those little wizards who have just awakened their magic power are the closest to normal people, but as they grow up, the magic power in their blood will gradually erode their rationality, making it increasingly difficult for them to understand everything that humans call Muggles, because Humans (Muggles) are governed by reason.
Those old wizards behaved more and more strangely.
They will eat the liver of toads, the viscera of bats, and the eyes of eels, and will allow their appearance to be alienated, usually becoming more ugly and twisted, with protruding knuckles, thin as bones, and mentally close to madness.
Of course, these are the symptoms that only the most serious wizards will appear. Under normal circumstances, only the poorest wizards at the bottom will become like this in their later years. Learning powerful black magic will also accelerate this symptom. They are eroded by magic power. Almost mutated.
And those pure-blooded families with really deep heritage, because of the inherited magic and superior bloodlines, rarely have this kind of change before old age. Magic power erodes their rationality, but magic helps them slow down this process. Pure-blooded families all It is the product of the natural law of survival of the fittest and human selection. Their blood is relatively stable and resistant to the erosion of magic power, so they only look a little weird when they die of old age. They will choose their intermarriage partners carefully to prevent the blood from degenerating badly.
Even so, the magic power of their natural blood is constantly degrading, and they become weaker and weaker.
But for those wizard families who are poor and have bad bloodlines, pure blood is qualified to look down on them, and even treat them as dregs. Chen Ang found in the taverns where wizards often meet, and found that most of the non-pure The blood family, with normal age, will become a lunatic in the eyes of normal people.
Of course the Ministry of Magic turned a blind eye to this.
The magic resistance of pure-blood families is not unconditional, once they master black magic, they will also have this tendency to go crazy.
The name "Mudblood" is not the twisted pride of pure-blood wizards, but that they see those non-pure blood wizard bloodlines that have not been screened for a long time become ugly and twisted in old age, crazy, and start eating toads, bats, etc. After the stinky things started to be bloodthirsty and extremely unstable, they gave these non-pure blood a contemptuous name.
They realized that their 'noble' blood would degenerate if impure blood were allowed to confuse their blood.
Coupled with the impact on the interests of wizards with Muggle blood, two trends of thought have emerged in the wizarding world against this magical erosion. Voldemort, the representative of the pure-blood family, proposed that the greatness of wizards comes from blood, and wizards with pure blood have powerful magic power. Elegant and unflappable, a half-Muggle wizard would end up being twisted and ugly.
The white wizards headed by Dumbledore believe that the root cause of wizards becoming evil, dark, and crazy is black magic, and wizards of Muggle blood are only less resistant to black magic.
Of course, in Chen Ang's view, both sides are idiots, no one dares to really point out that the factor that makes wizards crazy is magic, because that is simply denying the pride of the entire magic world, wizards are proud of their own magic, everything they think is extraordinary It all lies in the magical magic and powerful magic power. If they deny the magic power, wouldn't that mean denying them all
There is no doubt that Borgin also showed those twisted, eccentric sides. He cast the Fidelity Charm in Hogsmeade Village, but the inside is dirty and messy, and the house is dilapidated. No. 12, The Burrow, etc. have completely consistent wizard aesthetics, which are surprisingly unified with the styles of Hogsmeade Village and Diagon Alley.
For wizards, it only takes one or two spells to keep them tidy and clean. It is not difficult to create a grand and magnificent residence with a comfortable and luxurious interior. Magic is enough to do all this, but they just want to be messy. And cramped, what can explain all this besides mental problems
Chen Ang pushed open the creepy door full of nail scratches, the porch was a large empty room with peeling wallpaper on the wall, worn-out carpet covered with dried blood, some rusty lanterns and Chandeliers and candlesticks hung with tattered cobwebs. There is a staircase leading upstairs. There are some portraits on the wall that have turned black due to the passage of time. When they heard the sound of pushing the door, these portraits began to wake up. They turned their heads to look at Chen Ang, and suddenly they opened their mouths. scream.
Chen Ang looked at them indifferently, raised his hand slightly, and said softly, "Avada Kedavra!"
In an instant, the whole house became quiet. Chen Ang walked among those stagnant portraits, and slowly walked up the stairs. The house elf Gulu behind him showed a horrified expression. He excitedly shook the already quiet portraits, saying Screamed, "Grandfather Herbert, Grandma Belvina? Aunt Bernama?"
"My God! Master... you killed them!"
"Shut up! Those are just false memories, their reactions, their actions are driven by the curse behind it... Making the portrait come alive is definitely one of the stupidest actions ever. I don't know how these wizards What do you think? Dead people, let them die, but they just want to create a bunch of false memories and use magic spells to deceive themselves."
He glanced at the messy room, and told Gulu: "Clean up this place, keep it spotless, and pile up all the messy things in the basement for me. Except for the necessary furniture, I don't want to see any useless things." s things."
After finishing speaking, Chen Ang sent it a document of "Standardized Construction of Laboratory", and ordered: "Just follow this standard, if there is no one, use the transformation spell first, and with your magic level, it should not be difficult to build this thing .”
