Chapter 11 Arithmetic Divination, Chaos Magic

"Time Hound?"

This was another term Hermione had never heard of before.

"Yes, it is a special existence that is parasitic in the long river of time."

Clark recalled what he had read in the book carefully and said.

"'Time Hounds' is just another name for them. These guys are neither hounds nor have any connection with animals in the conventional sense.

They are a conceptual aggregation that only exists in space. They are called hounds because of their special habit of chasing prey to the ends of the earth.

In other words, the name hound is just a description of their habits.

No one can describe their specific forms, and some ancient books only record a few words about them.

But it can also be known from this information that they will hunt down anyone who comes into contact with them.

And because they all live in the long river of time, those who interact with them are often wizards who use magic to travel through time. "

"So these hounds are white blood cells that maintain the stability of time?" Hermione glanced at her time turner in surprise, and quickly understood the significance of the existence of these "time hounds".

"It's true to describe it this way." Clark agreed with Hermione's metaphor. "If you want history to be unchangeable, the best way is for the variables to not exist!"

"Then let's..." Hermione looked worriedly at the time turner in her hand again.

Clark also took out this thing and played with it in his hands.

"That's not the case. Didn't Professor McGonagall say before that the Ministry of Magic stipulates that the time turner can't go back for more than 5 hours at most.

In other words, if we only travel through time and space for a short period of time and with low frequency, I don’t think those time hounds can find us yet.

After all, the vastness of the long river of time is beyond the imagination of us mortals. Wanting to meet in this situation is no different than two grains of sand touching each other in the desert. "

Hermione nodded, "No wonder we both used the time turner at the same place at the same time.

But they didn't appear together. "

"You can't say that," Clark smiled, "We can't be considered to be in the same place at the same time. After all, the deviation of one rotation of this thing is too large, which is far less accurate than the hands of a clock."

He looked at his pocket watch again and found that half an hour had passed.

"Okay, if we continue chatting, I'm afraid that when the divination class ends, we'll bump into who we were an hour ago."

After saying that, he waved to Hermione and asked her to come closer. The two of them shared the same time turner.

As the small hourglass turned again, it still felt familiar, but this time Clark no longer had the freedom to pry into the mysteries of time.

This time Clark and Hermione also appeared in an uninhabited corner not far from the auditorium.

"No one saw it both times. It seems that 'time' will automatically help us choose the right place to appear." Clark joked.

The two of them ran directly towards the arithmetic and divination classroom without making any further stops.

They hurriedly hurried along and finally entered the classroom before the bell rang.

The professor who taught them arithmetic divination was a middle-aged witch who was similar to Professor McGonagall. She had a tight face and looked very serious and old-fashioned.

The two of them chose a seat in the middle and sat down. When the bell rang for class, the professor coughed twice.

"Dear students, I am very happy that you have chosen my class. I am your Arithmetic Divination teacher-Setima Victor.

In my class, there is no need to look at a tea cup to discern the occult meaning in the residue, or to gaze into a crystal ball to discern the blurred image within. "

Hermione thought of her experience in the Divination class just now and knew that the teacher meant something, so she couldn't help but chuckle.

“I will teach you how to use careful thinking to discover the mystical information contained in numbers, to see through the nature of fate, and to predict the possibility of the future.

Of course, I think it will be difficult for most of you to understand and fall in love with this extraordinary charm and strange magic hidden in numbers, but I will not lower my requirements for you because of this..."

Professor Victor's monotonous tone was in sharp contrast to Professor Trelawney's exaggerated manner, which actually made Hermione fond of this professor.

They opened their textbook "Number Divination and Shapes" and watched the professor write various numbers, symbols and the symbolic meanings they represented on the blackboard.

Soon, with her narration, the mystery of arithmetic divination was unveiled in front of Clark.

Unlike Clark's initial guess, arithmetic divination is not a big data calculation in the wizarding world.

If I have to make an analogy, this technique may be somewhat similar to the Chinese name test, and it may have some similarities with the Zhouyi Bagua.

The so-called "arithmancy" comes from two ancient Greek words: "arithmo (number)" and "mancy (meaning wisdom)".

It is a divination method based on Pythagorean philosophy, Jewish mystical philosophy and the "Kabbalah" tradition, and has been used by magicians and wizards for more than 2,000 years.

Some wizards who are proficient in this method often use it to analyze their own abilities and develop their own wisdom and talents. They can also use it to overcome difficulties and guide the way to a bright future.

Because this method seems to use the magic contained in numbers, this method is also called "mathematical numerology method."

It is said that this divination technique originated in the ancient Greek period, when the famous philosopher, mathematician, and wizard Pythagoras first proposed a theory that "the world is built on the power of numbers." .

He believes that no language is as beautiful and concise as numbers. Even the gods cannot omit numbers when they create divine texts.

Each number from 1 to 9 has its own unique personality, which can help us understand everything in the universe.

In addition, the ancient Greek wizards at the time believed that "names" contained important clues to reveal their personality and destiny, so Pythagoras, who was proficient in mathematics and magic, blended these two concepts together and created the most primitive Arithmancy.

After centuries of practice, this system of arithmetic divination became more comprehensive, and many complex systems were developed to convert names into numbers and then analyze the results.

What Professor Victor taught them was one of the most widely used arithmetic divination systems.

"Whether it is the ancient Latin alphabet or the current English alphabet, it can be converted into a corresponding series of numbers from 1 to 9.

What we need to do in arithmetic divination is to extract the three most important numbers from a person's name, namely the 'personality number', the 'spiritual number' and the 'social number', and then calculate these numbers according to a series of interpretation theories and methods. Results are interpreted and elaborated.

This method has been known since medieval times and is still used today.

The tools it requires are also very simple, just a pen, a piece of paper and the ability to spell, add and subtract.

Even Muggles can often use it with style.

But I want to remind you that this does not mean that this method is very simple. We are wizards, so when using arithmetic divination, we often have special skills, and you need to mobilize your magic power..."

Clark listened to the professor talking on the podium and felt that although this class was not as ridiculous as the divination class, it was indeed very boring.

After all, for Clark, who had just traveled through time and was lucky enough to witness the long flow of time, these tedious and complicated divination steps were not so necessary.

Having just peeked into the mystery of "time", he knew that the so-called divination and prophecy were all about perception! It's magic!

It is a powerful force that can briefly jump out of the long river of time to give a glimpse of the downstream of time.

Stronger than Grindelwald and Dumbledore, even if they don't look at the tea leaves and don't count the numbers, they can still accurately grasp the ray of inspiration in the countless complicated information and grasp the future direction.

Of course, this may be what the professors call talent.

This one percent talent is more important than the ninety-nine percent sweat.

Clark casually flipped through the book in front of him, reflecting the knowledge in it with his previous experience, as well as the few words he got from the fragments of the godhead. He felt that he was a little more sure of the "destiny" in the dark.

What is probability?

Dimensionally speaking, it is a four-dimensional timeline determined at the five-dimensional level.

In terms of time, it is the possibility of what will happen in the next second.

The future is filled with endless possibilities and probabilities. Each different probability represents a new timeline.

Looking at the future from the present, it is all made up of probability clouds. When a coin is thrown into the sky, there will be different futures according to the various possibilities of it falling. When the future becomes the present and is seen by us, probability The cloud collapsed and became a timeline.

The power used by wizards - chaos magic, is the power to control probability.

Although this power is still very weak, it can still help the wizard choose the outcome of the collapse of the probability cloud, and let the world find the reason itself. It is a powerful ability that directly determines the future.

The power that can control cause and effect - this is the magic of chaos.

Chaos represents infinite possibility, and magic is the power to realize that possibility.

But this is exactly the problem. Clark remembered the [Chaotic Infection] status displayed on the system panel when he first entered school.

There is no free lunch in the world. The powerful power of Chaos Magic is almost equivalent to a weakened version of [Godhead Ability: Changing Reality].

However, this kind of power involving [time], [fate], and [karma] is said to be mastered and passed down by the wizard himself. Even Clark would not believe it even to death.

It's not that those wizard ancestors back then weren't powerful enough, it's just that they were just names and tools, not fake people.

This kind of power is deeply involved with the authority of the gods. Just thinking about it, you can feel that the water in it is bottomless.

What's more, over the years, no wizard has been able to take the final step. Let's not talk about others, just Dumbledore. It can be said that all the conditions for him to become a god have been met.

When he defeated Grindelwald and saved the entire magical world, he should have been able to take that final step, but look at how old he has become now. At such an old age, he still has to worry about a junior like Voldemort.

Clark suddenly thought of two comics he had read, "Naruto" and "Neon Genesis Evangelion".

This strong sense of déjà vu made him think more about it.

Fortunately, he has now successfully changed professions and helped Hermione and Neville eliminate hidden dangers. From now on, he only needs to develop steadily and slowly spread the professional system in the DND world.

At this time, the crisp end of get out of class bell rang in my ears. Professor Victor assigned a long paper as an after-class homework, and then hurriedly left the classroom.

Clark finally came out of his thoughts.

"Oh my God, it's so difficult and boring." A little witch's voice came from behind him.

Hermione immediately expressed a different opinion, "No, I think this is very interesting, much more interesting than Divination class.".

She said to Clark, "The divination class is bullshit!"

Clark smiled and began to pack up his things slowly. Then he and Hermione left the classroom, found a deserted place, and continued to use the time turner.

This time, they rushed to another Muggle Studies class.

The teacher of this course was originally Quirrell, but when Clark and his friends were in first grade, Quirrell switched to teaching the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, so this class was taught by Professor Caredi Bubbaji.

As a former Muggle who is lucky enough to travel to the world of "Harry Potter", taking this course is indeed very interesting.

If he could go back to his previous life, he might be able to answer something like, "What is it like to take a Muggle Studies class at Hogwarts?"

Thanks for the invitation. I'm at Hogwarts and just fired the Firebolt.

This is a good question. It feels amazing to see the Muggle world from a wizard's perspective.

How to put it, it’s like listening to Chinese people teach Chinglish (/w＼).

Sometimes it is quite right, sometimes it is specious, and sometimes the analysis angle is very different from ours.

For example, "gun" is a thing. Muggles know that it is a gunpowder weapon, but many wizards answer: "A gun is a metal wand invented by modern Muggles for better killing."

There are also other Muggle-related habits and customs that are very difficult for wizards to understand.

Wearing wizard robes with constant temperature magic all year round made them completely unable to understand why Muggles kept changing their robes, sometimes wrapping them so tightly, and sometimes exposing their arms.

And why you can’t go out in your pajamas.

But if you put aside your prejudices, you will find that Muggle Studies classes provide a bridge for normal communication between the wizarding world and the Muggle world.

It plays an indelible role in helping young wizards eliminate misunderstandings and prejudices against the Muggle world and promote the integration of the two worlds.

This is a course full of humanities.
