In addition to most of the things Ryan brought back after his trip to the world of Men in Black for research at other times, he also brought back a batch of products mainly for his own use. For example, the memory erasing stick and the matching magic mirror,
A small spaceship, and a large box of various weapons.
Among them, weapons were the focus of Ryan's test. After dealing with some things in the world, Ryan and Hermione began to test the effect of these science fiction energy weapons on wizards' magic defense the next day.
These tests began in an open space, with several robot dolls placed in the center of the open space. Ryan and the others first released various defensive magics on the dolls, and then began to use the weapons in their hands to release defensive magic like these.
target shooting.
During the experiment, they found that all weapons that use physical ammunition are very ineffective against the armor spell commonly used by wizards. Even the magic released by an ordinary Hogwarts graduate can block almost all live ammunition.
Weapon shooting, even with the most powerful Gauss rifle.
"This is expected." Ryan turned to Hermione and said. "Wizards have been improving the defense of these magics against kinetic damage since they discovered this magic. From the swords of the Middle Ages to today's firearms, it has not changed."
"That means that it is difficult for people who do not master magic to cause any harm to wizards who wantonly harm them, such as Death Eaters." Hermione's face also became serious. "This is why all wizards regard Muggles as
Maybe they are weaker than the wizards."
"This is indeed true from an individual perspective. Wizards who master magic are indeed much more powerful than ordinary people." Ryan nodded slightly. "But humans, as intelligent creatures, have never become creatures at the top of the biological chain because of their individual strength.
.”
After saying that, he picked up the Atomic No. 4 pistol and started shooting at those targets. After that, Ryan clearly felt that after these energy ammunition hit the defense on the target, the defensive magic was quickly consumed.
"Sure enough, magic defense is not very effective against energy attacks." Ryan said after using a portable three-barreled plasma cannon to directly blast away the target in front of him. "This may be because magic is only a kind of energy.
Utilization, so when faced with energy attacks, we can only resist through pure energy consumption."
"It's not just because of that." Hermione said after using the Atomic No. 4 pistol in her hand to knock down her magical defense on a target multiple times. "To be precise, magic can use energy more efficiently. For example, the Iron Armor Curse
The earliest appearance of this spell was recorded in the book I saw in the library. At that time, the spell was very long, and in addition it was also very rough. It could only block some cuts such as swords or bows and arrows.
, a projectile attack like a javelin.”
"You mean, this kind of magic spell was first used to defend against ordinary people's attacks?" Ryan asked in surprise. He had never read this type of book before, so he really didn't notice it.
"Yes." Hermione raised her eyebrows and said excitedly. For her, there were not many opportunities to teach Ryan. So this time after discovering that Ryan had knowledge that he didn't know, she naturally started to explain happily.
Get up. "You need to know that in the early history of the magical world, wizards lived together with ordinary people. The battles and conflicts at that time were mainly concentrated between wizards and Muggles. In this case, the Iron Armor Curse
This kind of magic that can attack ordinary people was naturally invented as one of the common magic among wizards."
"But then the conflict between Muggles and wizards became more and more serious, and even eventually turned into a war. Due to population problems, wizards, at least wizards in the West, chose to close themselves off and hide themselves. At the same time, signing the International Secrecy Act confirmed
This matter." Having said this, Hermione took the water handed over by Ryan and drank it.
"Then there's the conflict between wizards and the conflict between wizards and other magical creatures, right?" Ryan asked after Hermione finished drinking the water and put away the cup.
"Yes, next is our focus in the history of magic. During those wars, wizards established their dominance in the magic world. It must be said that these wars were indeed cruel, but they also promoted the development of magic.
The same is true for the Iron Armor Curse. A curse that can only resist physical attacks is not very effective when facing other creatures, so wizards have invented more defensive magic."
"However, too many defensive magics have caused serious confusion. It is difficult for ordinary wizards to accurately identify attack magic and choose corresponding defensive magic when facing an attack. So after the research of a large number of magicians, today's
The Iron Armor Spell, which can directly defend against various magical and physical attacks, was invented."
"So this is why the Iron Armor Curse is not effective when facing these energy weapons." Ryan continued, "Because the magic of wizards is not static. It changes with time and circumstances.
They have never seen this kind of energy weapon, so naturally there is no way to make targeted improvements to these magics."
This is a conclusion reached through experiments. Ryan discovered that the Iron Armor Curse cleverly arranges magic power to focus on defense against magic attacks and physical attacks. In this case, the user only needs to spend not too much magic power to achieve near-perfect defense.
However, such an exquisite magic structure, which has been researched and developed through countless efforts, makes it difficult for Ryan to improve this magic spell at his current level.
Even so, in order to prepare for improving this curse in the future, Ryan and Hermione spent three days blowing up nearly a hundred targets to collect enough data.
In addition, Ryan also fed Xiao Qing the bloody amber that was made through alchemy and sealed Selena's prototype.
Xiaoqing swallowed the amber after transforming into a snake. Soon it told Ryan through its soul connection that it needed a place with a lot of space. What it had just eaten was prompting it to evolve.
Evolution? Xiaoqing's words shocked Ryan. As a pet he had cultivated before, Ryan himself had no idea how a creature like Xiaoqing, which was considered unique in the world, could grow.
Because of this, Ryan was very happy after learning that Xiao Qing would evolve. After all, a cruel war has broken out. Under such circumstances, getting new and powerful helpers is very good news for Ryan.
So he immediately took Xiaoqing to the edge of the Glowing Sea that had been cleaned up, because it had previously said that the radiation would not harm it in any way. This inaccessible place could prevent it from getting out of control and harming others during its evolution.
After arriving at the predetermined location, Ryan placed Xiao Qing on the ground. After Xiao Qing touched the ground, it dissolved its previous snake shape and turned into a large group of tangled vines, which then spread rapidly with this as its core.
When he stood up, 15 minutes later, when the vines stopped expanding, Ryan was surprised to find that he was standing on a green field composed of vines the size of four football fields.
"My master, let's meet in six months." After Xiaoqing said these last words, he fell into sleep, and Ryan arranged several defensive magics around him and told his subordinates to watch this place and not let it go.
After entering, people prayed silently in their hearts and left this place.
After everything was done, Ryan and Hermione said goodbye to the scientists who were busy due to the large amount of things delivered this time, and then returned to the Wanjie Grocery Store.
"This time we have figured out some of the runes about space. I think we should start researching it immediately, and we will have results soon." Ryan originally planned to return to Hogwarts Castle to rest, but Hermione
But she put forward her own opinion. She didn't want to delay this most important matter any longer.
"Okay." Ryan nodded helplessly. Facing a serious and diligent person like Hermione, Ryan felt that sometimes he really needed to work harder.
