Chapter 127
She followed Professor McGonagall towards the office. Maybe because of her personality, Professor McGonagall didn't talk to Mike along the way. And Mike was too embarrassed to speak when she didn't take the initiative to speak, so the two of them walked away in silence.
Go down.
Out of boredom, Mike had to focus on Professor McGonagall's back. After careful observation, he actually discovered something. Professor McGonagall's walking posture was very distinctive.
Every step she took was relatively large and very powerful. Almost every step she took would cause the hem of her long dress to fly up. At the same time, Professor McGonagall always maintained an upright posture, looking very aura, even
It can be said to be the female version of Dragon Walking and Tiger Walking.
It stands to reason that a woman walking in this posture would be very unsightly, but this is not the case with Professor McGonagall. Mike didn't know how to describe her aura, but the moment he saw Professor McGonagall, Mike's
The three words "strong woman" will automatically come to mind.
I don't know how long it took, but the two finally arrived at Professor McGonagall's office.
"Please sit down, Mike." Professor McGonagall pulled out the chair on the desk and sat down. Then he took out a thick stack of documents from a book basket in the corner of the desk and started reviewing them. "Sorry, do you mind if I sit aside?
Shall I talk to you while you work?"
Mike shook his head vigorously, indicating that he didn't care. At the same time, he looked at the stack of documents in McGonagall's hand that was 5 centimeters thick and the documents in the basket that were several times that thick. It seemed that most of Hogwarts
All the administrative work may be handled by Professor McGonagall, the vice-principal, while Dumbledore may be a hands-off manager in this regard.
"Then please ask a question? I'm very busy here."
"Okay Professor McGonagall, actually I just want to ask what kind of spell Transfiguration is." Mike also frowned when he heard this, "I mean I saw Principal Dumbledore use Transfiguration with a wave of his hand before.
The basilisk was solved, and in the wizard duel between me and Cedric two days ago, Cedric also used a similar technique, which almost completely disabled my attack.
I have no doubt that Principal Dumbledore can do this, but Cedric is just a student, how on earth did he do it?"
Professor McGonagall stopped writing when she heard McGonagall talking about wizard duels. She was obviously dissatisfied with the dueling club run by Lockhart, but she still answered Mike's question.
"First of all, I have to warn you, Mr. Townley. Never try transformations that may be dangerous. I know Dumbledore and Cedric may have rekindled your interest in transformation, but I still have to warn you.
You, the most important thing about transfiguration is to be cautious." Professor McGonagall said earnestly, "Maybe the tragic stories I told you before, like the Kappa and the Banshee, are too far away from you.
As for your inability to understand its seriousness.
Then I will give you the simplest example. You must know the five basic methods of Gamp's transformation.
1. The food transformed by the polymorphism spell is inedible.
2. Transfiguration cannot work on magic items.
3. Transfiguration cannot be created out of nothing.
4. Transfiguration cannot change the number of original items, such as turning a stick into two swords.
5. Transfiguration cannot give permanent life to dead objects. For example, the butterfly we just transformed will return to its original state once the remaining magic power is exhausted.
These five basic laws have guided countless wizards on the path of transfiguration for thousands of years, but do you know how they were discovered?
They were all piled up with human lives!
Just like the first one, an unknown wizard once tried to turn a piece of wood into bread and ate it. Then that night he bled to death.
After his death, his friends suspected that he had been poisoned, so his friends dissected him and found that all the blood vessels in his body were covered with wooden thorns.
So, everyone knew that he died from his own transformation."
After Professor McGonagall finished speaking, she saw the look of fear on Mike's face that she wanted to see. She nodded with satisfaction, picked up the water glass on the side and took a sip before continuing:
"As for the question you asked, I can tell you very clearly. In order to practice transformation to a level as easy as Dumbledore's and others, in addition to extremely strong magic and mental strength, you also need to be familiar with transformation.
Have extremely deep understanding.
The first two are not difficult, but the last one is difficult.
Transfiguration is the most complex subject. To go further in this subject requires not only amazing talent, but also extraordinary efforts and time accumulation. Otherwise, there will be too many powerful wizards in the world.
Okay, why are there so few transfiguration masters?
As for Cedric's transformation, I've heard of it, but he doesn't have control over it at all. His ability to transform into someone like Dumbledore relies entirely on his family secrets.
That kind of secret technique allows learners to instantly possess amazing transformation abilities, but the learning conditions are very harsh. As far as I know, someone like Cedric has learned it in the Diggory family for hundreds of years.
Moreover, the transformation technique practiced with that kind of secret technique is simply a defective product. It only has its form but no spirit. It is far inferior to the real transformation technique master.
To be honest, I still feel sorry for Cedric. Originally, with his talent, it was possible to become a master of transformation, but because of practicing this secret technique, I guess he will never reach that level.
.
In my opinion, his father's request for him to learn that secret technique was simply counterproductive."
After hearing Professor McGonagall's explanation, MacMaoth suddenly became enlightened, and at the same time he was glad that he had rashly tried to improve the Transfiguration.
But when he heard the last few words of Professor McGonagall, he felt very speechless.
Is the secret skill Cedric learned really as weak as Professor McGonagall said?
Please, can I be so strong that I burst into pieces?
Mike was sure that even if Cedric were to challenge an elite Auror in a one-on-one fight right now, he would definitely be able to kill the opponent with his superb transformation skills.
Although he didn't agree with what Professor McGonagall said in his heart, he kept a look of gratitude on his face. He said a lot of flattery about how knowledgeable Professor McGonagall was, how selfless he was to answer students' questions, etc.
After that, Mike finally left the office under Professor McGonagall's increasingly impatient eyes.
As soon as he left the office, Mike's face sank.
Although what Professor McGonagall just said made MacMutter enlightened, it did not help in the slightest on how to defeat Cedric. It even completely wiped out Mac's last thought of fighting fire with fire.
Looking at the monster stone statue outside the office door, Mike seemed to have thought of something, his eyes brightened slightly, and he murmured.
Chapter completed!
