Hogwarts: A Chinese-Style Professor

Chapter 82 Legendary Creature Characteristics

"A curse?"

Dumbledore's expression turned slightly serious.

"This is indeed a very serious matter, but I will help you no matter what."

"That sounds really reassuring."

“Of course—and I have a feeling.” Dumbledore looked at Levi, “Tom’s curse will end with you, and will never continue.”

"Are you planning to make me work for you for the rest of my life?" Li Wei waved his hand. "Then let's pay you some wages first."

"Salary?"

"Yes, for example, it answers some of my questions—after waking up, I always have a vague feeling that my body is undergoing some kind of secret and crucial change."

Dumbledore nodded.

"Of course, that's one of the reasons I asked you to come here."

"The state of your body right now is something every wizard who steps into the legendary realm will experience."

"I personally have a term for this phenomenon: legendary biomorphism."

Dumbledore stretched out his left hand, and a fireball as thick as a baby's fist appeared at his fingertips.

The next moment, he clenched his right fist and slowly punched the fireball directly at it—the fireball was affected by a strange force and annihilated under his fist, looking as if it had been scattered.

But Li Wei wouldn't think that way—Dumbledore showed him his palm, which had no burn marks whatsoever.

"Is this magic resistance? After reaching the legendary realm, even human wizards will possess certain characteristics of those powerful creatures?"
In other words, my body is currently undergoing some kind of imperceptible modification?

Dumbledore nodded and continued:
"This is a conclusion you reached based on your own cognition and understanding, and I cannot judge whether it is right or wrong."

In my opinion, this is magic itself acknowledging our status.

He waved his hand gently, and a breeze swept through the office.

"Before reaching this level, a wizard simply cannot influence the outside world without using spells."

But for you and me, it's just a thought—I can't even explain why I could do it.

Li Wei suddenly remembered the manuscript of Rowena Ravenclaw that he had seen earlier, and read it aloud.

"I will weave the moonlight into a bridge, so that truth may come through the iris."

I grasped the concept of confinement and forged it into a breathing city wall.

The flames danced in my palms, avoiding my skin.

Time seems to have paused at this moment.

"Is this what Lady Ravenclaw felt after entering the Legendary realm?"

"It's certainly possible."

Dumbledore affirmed Levi's idea, recalling their previous conversation about magic, and continued:

"But that's her understanding, and it may not apply to you—what was your most fundamental thought after you entered this realm?"

"The fundamental idea—"

Li Wei realized that the topic had entered the discussion phase, and he looked up to think.

"I saw nature."

"nature?"

"Gale-force winds—and lightning."

Li Wei stretched out his hand, and strands of electricity gathered in his palm.

"It seems you've acquired some of the Thunderbird's characteristics."

"And you, Professor? What did you realize back then?"

“Me?” Dumbledore’s gaze became somewhat distant. “I saw withered flowers blooming anew.” “It sounds like what you and Lady Ravenclaw are experiencing is more profound than what I am.”

"What is suitable is the best - since you have felt this power, it means that you must already have an idea of ​​how to use it."

Dumbledore looked at Livy, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He had never seen a wizard wield the power of thunder before—he possessed transfiguration, Tom possessed dark magic, and Nico possessed alchemy.

"If you have any questions about spells that you'd like to discuss, you're welcome to come to me anytime."

"You can't charm anyone, so how can I talk to you? What follows is an exclusive secret."

Li Wei got what he wanted, waved his hand, and was the first to get up and take his leave.

Dumbledore was right.

Even at the very moment he became a legend, Li Wei had already planned out his future path.

There are indeed many people who want to find Li Wei.

He never imagined that on his first day back to consciousness, he would have to meet so many people.

Shortly after leaving Dumbledore's office, the ghostly Ms. Grey, who had been following him all day, quietly appeared in the mezzanine of the passageway.

“Li Wei, I want to make a deal with you—come to the top of the Ravenclaw tower at 10 p.m. tonight—just you alone.”

"What deal?"

"Something you absolutely cannot refuse."

“I’m not a child, playing games with me won’t work—you’ve been following me for so long, and while I don’t necessarily have any ill intentions towards you, I certainly don’t have any good feelings towards you, do you understand what I mean?”

Helena hadn't expected Levi to be so rude to her. In Hogwarts Castle, he was the first professor to speak to her in such an attitude.

But instead of getting angry, she became excited.

As expected of someone from Slytherin, he's even more courageous than Snape!
"A crown—if you fulfill my wish, I will give you a crown!"

"The tiara—the Ravenclaw tiara?"

Li Wei's eyes lit up; he became interested.

But before he could ask any further questions, Helena had already disappeared into the castle walls.

It seems she was very reluctant to let others know about this.

"The Ravenclaw Crown"

The artifact is a relic of Rowena Ravenclaw, one of the Four Greats, and was enchanted by her; it is a legendary artifact that can bring wisdom to people.

This is precisely one of the few things that Li Wei is still interested in now.

Is this a deal with Helena? As a ghost, what does she want me to do?
Li Wei returned to his office after pondering for a moment.

He'd met everyone he needed to meet, and Professor McGonagall would be issuing a notice about the large-scale dueling class. The next short period was his own time, a perfect opportunity to make some plans.

After waking up, Li Wei currently has two things he wants to do.

After witnessing the breaking of the soul contract, he gained a new understanding and appreciation of spiritual magic—he planned to integrate this understanding into practice and try to create a new alchemical tool.

This can also be considered a form of practice.

Previously, he focused on magical offense and defense and Occlumency, and didn't really study how to infuse alchemical artifacts with the creator's thoughts and will.

Considering that he will soon be returning to a demanding teaching schedule, he has been thinking about it in bits and pieces today and has already come up with a general idea.

Second thing.

He used his own electro-electromagnetic properties to create some unique spells.

He had some ideas in mind, but he needed to find some time to research and explore the power and speed of lightning magic, and see if it had any advantages over conventional spells like 'expels your weapon' or 'petrify everything'.
