Chapter 219 Castle Renovation
Returning to school was a bit of a shock for everyone.
Campus life without classes is actually more comfortable than being at home, since no one is watching them at all.
Nowadays at Hogwarts, apart from Sprout who lives at the school year-round, most of the professors are absent, and Dumbledore is always disappearing. In terms of status, Hermione, the junior school board member, has become the one whose words carry the most weight.
However, this was tough on the senior students in the perfumery. For the past month and a half, as long as they completed a fixed amount of work each day, they could do whatever they wanted. Only Hibiscus didn't say anything, after all, she was just a liaison.
But now that Hermione is back, the boss is at school every day and occasionally visits the perfumery, which forces them to perform well and try to make a good impression.
Although Hermione wouldn't criticize them, they themselves felt that such a lazy work attitude was wrong, so they whipped themselves into working like oxen and horses.
Little did they know, Lady Finger Witch didn't care at all how much trigger spray the workshop produced each day or how much money it made for her. Her mind was filled with magic, fighting, and food. As for the deal with Beauxbatons, it was just a nice bonus.
These past few days she has been brainstorming the possibility of combining the magic of the radiance stone with other spells. After consulting many books in the library, she has been considering how to put it into practice.
It is not easy to unite students of different magical levels in a cohesive manner. Durmstrang's method mentioned in the book is to cultivate tacit understanding and habits among the students in the class from an early age (under Grindelwald's reforms, Durmstrang designed a class system in addition to the grade system). They will not be separated when they grow up, but will go to the battlefield as a whole class.
This approach is not suitable for Hogwarts. After all, the school is not designed to train magical killing machines. Keeping these highly individualistic children, who have never received standardized training, in step with each other is no less difficult than keeping the Weasley twins still for a long time.
Her initial idea was to use the mental enhancement provided by the magical realm to speed up the students' thinking speed, so that even if everyone's spellcasting pace was not synchronized, they could quickly adjust.
Then she would try to increase the margin of error for high-level radiance magic. Large-scale combined spells could accept longer spells and longer preparation time. She planned to add some extra parts to the spells as a buffer, so that students could always make adjustments during the casting process and achieve the final harmony.
In addition, the location for casting spells also needs to be chosen. Although the grassy area on the edge of the castle seems suitable at present, with a wide field of vision and a high vantage point, once we return to the shore of the Black Lake and the school is back in that big pit, the grassy area may become a waterlogged depression, and it may even be flooded, which would not be conducive to attacking in all directions.
So Hermione wandered around the castle, looking for towers and windows that could be modified to serve as sites for casting combined magic and firing ports during wartime.
Dumbledore also stated that he has recently been improving the castle's protective barrier, enhancing its super armor protection, impregnability, and ability to repel enemies. He said that he has not actually been playing the ghost in the castle these days, but has been constantly reinforcing and strengthening the school, making it a true war fortress.
It can be said that as long as the pyroxene energy is not exhausted, this castle is virtually impossible to break down from the outside.
Hermione still felt that Dumbledore's ideas were insufficient. While this did give the castle strong defensive capabilities, it made it too weak offensively.
Although it could launch a superluminal energy attack that threatened Voldemort, it wasn't even through the muzzle, but rather through 8...
The window of the principal's office on the top floor—it's something that would make anyone laugh their head off.
She simply asked Dumbledore for the rights to renovate the castle. Since she was going to make use of the other towers anyway, she might as well take all these factors into account.
It's a pity that this world doesn't have Radiant Stone; otherwise, with this extremely powerful magical stone, she could have better modified the castle.
The brilliance stone from the borderlands is a magical material that falls from the sky. Magicians consider it a living stone, as it can be used as a source of magic and has excellent conductivity. It is widely used in architecture and weapons.
Throughout the Royal Kalia Academy, not only are boxes of pyroxene crystals everywhere, but there are also a large number of naturally growing giant clusters of pyroxene, which puts the entire school in an extremely high magical concentration.
Of course, there's another way: if the Origin Mage goes out of control and becomes a Magic Orb, then Radiant Stone Clusters will grow around him. But Hermione doesn't go out of control. She wanted to try to induce Radiant Stone Clusters using her Lunar Form, but obviously her form level wasn't high enough. So she had to settle for second best and build a tower in a strategically advantageous location, then inscribe a Magic Realm array within it.
She also reserved some space to place magical ritual props later. With the permission given to her by Dumbledore, she adjusted the flow nodes of the splendid energy in the castle and installed some probes and grooves, intending to find some suitable gems to install later, which would also serve as magical launch ports.
In this way, the castle's attack methods are no longer limited to Dumbledore's physical energy shooting out of the Headmaster's office window. Instead, the energy can be dispersed into multiple beams through the ritual nodes on each tower. Although the power of the dispersed energy beams will be much weaker, they can strike multiple targets at the same time, making them much more flexible.
She has decided that in the second half of the year, as a teaching assistant at Shining Stone, her main task will be to teach students how to cast spells in combination in the magical realm. She has listed three spells: Heavenly Magic, Heimon Cannon, and Meteor Shower, and will teach them to children of different magical levels.
For them, learning even one spell on their own is already quite difficult, and a wizard's magic power is hardly enough to support the continuous casting of such powerful magic. However, if the power is shared by several people, it can be sustained for a long time.
This will give Hogwarts considerable firepower in future battles—the ability to unleash a powerful main cannon with splendid energy, disperse it into multiple beams of splendid energy, and have towers capable of continuous long-range bombardment. This way, even when facing relentless waves of monsters, they can calmly and steadily destroy them bit by bit within the safe castle.
Apart from Hermione, Harry and the others entered the Pensieve again for their unfinished training. They were preparing to defeat the corrupted tree spirit beneath Stoneville before the start of the school year, and then challenge the next new area.
The main reason is that Harry's Transfiguration has reached a bottleneck in self-study. He feels that he can hardly improve any further, so he might as well fight to clear his head and maybe have a sudden epiphany and break through.
Maria originally wanted to go in too, but the Pensieve was already at its limit for holding four heads, so she really couldn't join the boys' team.
I had no choice but to pray alone in my dormitory to hone my skills in prayer.
Hermione also entrusted her with the task of guiding the four Blood Cursed Orcs, asking her to try leading them in prayers before the Wolf Moon Mark whenever she had free time.
The four, including Lady Deer, had witnessed Hermione turn Hogg into dust with the Moonlit Night and held her in considerable awe. Although they did not naturally worship the moon like werewolves, they were not averse to it. However, it would take time for faith to take root, and they could not see any results in just a few days.
But if prayer can truly counteract the side effects of the Blood Curse, then perhaps the Blood Curse Orcs rescued in the future can be incorporated into our own forces.
You should know that these poor women are all witches. Once they make up for their lack of magical education, they can quickly become a very powerful force. Moreover, because of their faith, they will be very loyal, so there is no need to worry about betrayal.
