Chapter 389 The Power of Activation

On the sparse clouds with sunlight shining through them, a handsome boy who seemed to have walked out of a fairy tale was looking at the ground with interest.

He is like a prince of a kingdom in the clouds, looking down upon the creatures on earth.

This boy is Ryan.

Ryan already knew about Rubeus Hagrid's state and power before, during and after his awakening. He could create them directly in his mind through wizard intuition without even having to "think".

But it is really interesting to watch this scene that would never appear in the original world line.

Before Ryan went to school, he "learned" Hagrid's strange power that was like an iceberg hidden under the sea level.

For example, the birth of Jerry, the Fiendfairy who had already swallowed two Horcruxes, used the power inherited from the Dragon Lord, which activated and controlled everything, that is, the part of Hagrid that he inherited.

This power that gives inanimate objects temporary pseudo-life seems simple enough at first glance.

Because the wizard can make the mirror talk and the pear dance.

But within it lies the power of birth of life, from 0 to 1.

Otherwise, why would Ryan be willing to spend time to "learn".

But relatively speaking, the cost of using it is also relatively more serious, unlike ordinary magic which only consumes physical strength.

As long as the animated life is still alive, it will permanently occupy a portion of the blue bar of its creator.

However, this is also easy to solve, as long as one thing is noted - the creator should not give that life a name.

As long as it is not given a name, for a period of time after its birth, it will continue to consume the power in its body that gives it false life.

When that power is exhausted, it will occupy the creator's blue bar according to the connection.

The creator can also choose whether to pay the price, and if they don't want to, they can cancel it unilaterally - as long as it doesn't have a name yet.

If a name already exists, especially if it was given by the creator himself, it cannot be unilaterally cancelled.

You must kill it or transfer the cost through sophisticated magic to restore your mana bar.

Ryan used a similar approach to avoid such costs.

Jerry's predecessor was a fierce fire. Even Ryan, who had the magical power of a perpetual motion machine, could not afford to activate it, because the permanent activation would cut the upper limit of the blue bar and had nothing to do with Ryan's recovery ability.

But Ryan used the soul of a cat as his base, so that it, which already had life, would not take up too much of Ryan's upper limit.

The second is that Ryan used the principle of the immortal fire of Gublei to transfer this price directly to the magic magnetic field, that is, this world.

Such a Jerry, to use the terms of fantasy novels, is an innate creature who regards heaven and earth as his parents.

This is actually perfect enough, but Ryan has a third plan, which is to let Jerry swallow the Horcrux so that it will have its own independent source of magic.

In this way, even if the relationship between it and the magical magnetic field is isolated, it will still be fine.

However, only Ryan can do this.

For Hagrid and others, such a price is almost unacceptable to them.

Precisely because the cost is so severe, according to the information Ryan learned through his time travel, no Hagrid would choose to use this power on an ordinary object.

They mostly use it on magical creatures that already have life, bringing clarity to their chaotic minds and then controlling them.

Even during the time under the control of Hagrid and others, these magical creatures were temporarily equivalent to one species, which allowed them to break through reproductive isolation.

In the original world line, the blasting-tailed skrewt was the power unconsciously emitted by Rubeus Hagrid, which allowed the fire crab to mate with the human-headed lion-body-scorpion-tailed creature, a new species.

If Hagrids choose to give permanent life to non-living objects, they usually choose wands, swords, and other objects that are greater than the sum of their own. Rubeus Hagrid, who used the power of animation on an ordinary fire and named it, is unprecedented.

After being named, it becomes different from ordinary virtual life that is temporarily activated, just like a magic phenomenon that is born out of a spell because of its naming.

But relatively speaking, this actually had little impact on Hagrid, because this life was just an ordinary fire before it was activated.

Its existence, that is, Hephaestus's existence, at most makes Hagrid eat a little more than before.

And Hagrid himself doesn't use magic much.

His physical body is far more terrifying than his magic.

However, what if Hagrid didn't realize this problem and continued to animate and name various inanimate objects?

In the end, Hagrid was just a Muggle who could enslave countless strange lives.

"Isn't this the Harry Potter version of a super newbie?"

"Just like the super rookie, he relies on Pokémon to fight and has the same strong physique." Ryan couldn't help thinking and smiled strangely.

And Hagrid, who was in the cabin, rubbed his stomach.

"I think I'm a little hungry." Hagrid looked at his cabin. The sudden hunger made him want to stuff something into his stomach.

He looked at the hams and pheasants hanging from the beams, and then at the dragon meat in the wooden barrel in the corner that had not yet been pickled and given to Alaspad.

"It seems that there is nothing to eat right now at my house." As a big-bellied man, Hagrid's family is not short of food, but what he lacks now is something to eat right now.

In the early days of Christmas, he ate all the food he could eat to celebrate the holiday.

The dragon meat sausages that were freshly made this morning were also eaten by him, Harry and others.

Just as Hagrid couldn't help wanting to cook, Harry spoke up, "Hagrid, why don't you go call the house elves."

"I forgot."

"On weekdays, I only ask them to deliver ingredients like flour."

"Didi!" Hagrid rubbed his big hairy head embarrassedly.

As Hagrid finished his words, a house-elf appeared.

He was wearing a strange outfit: a tea towel with the Hogwarts crest printed on it.

Harry looked at it carefully several times before he confirmed that it was a tea towel. The house-elf named Didi had simply wrapped the tea towel around himself as a robe.

"Hello, gentlemen, and this lady." Diddy bowed to Hagrid and Harry.

"Send me some food, I'm hungry." Hagrid waved his hand. Diddy nodded, and the next second, the plates left by Harry and his friends disappeared, and plates of food appeared.

"This is - this is all what we like," Harry couldn't help saying.

"Sir, you are Harry Potter."

"He pays more attention to the daily preferences of you and your friends." Didi bowed again.

"Oh, is Dobby better than him?" Harry asked curiously.

Ron and Draco beside them also showed interested expressions.
