Chapter 105 Blocking the Demon Array
A ghastly green incantation was unleashed from the tip of the staff, striking swiftly towards the magic array.
However, just as the curse was about to approach the magic array, a transparent membrane appeared and deflected the killing curse to the side.
"As expected!" Seeing the scene before him, Roy excitedly gripped his wand, then jogged to the magic circle diagram on the ground. The parseltongue he had deciphered was indeed correct—this was a blocking magic circle! A magic circle that could block any incoming spell!
This must be the most useful magic circle I've ever discovered, especially compared to that magic circle whose purpose I still don't know.
Ah—no, all magic circles are useful. I just lack the open-mindedness that Miss Lovegood has—Loira shook her head to correct herself, then carefully picked up the magic circle diagram on the ground.
The magic array diagram was now completely charred and looked unusable.
As expected, this magic array was a one-time use array. The amount of magic power required to block the spell was considerable, and a large amount of magic power passing through the array in a short period of time would cause the array to be overloaded and destroyed in an instant.
However, the desired effect had already been achieved, and Roy was trembling with excitement as he gripped the magic circle in his hand.
The only remaining issues are the somewhat difficult engraving process and the high cost of materials.
Indeed, the dye required to allow a large amount of magic to pass through the magic circle in a short time is far beyond what a half-Vewa blood like Roy's could produce—she had just used the dragon blood left over from making the necklace for Professor Snape.
Fortunately, she seemed to still have some dragon blood dye left. Roy waved her wand, and an ink bottle flew from the table by the door of the hut, which she caught in her hand.
Hmm—I'd better hold onto this carefully. If this bottle of dye spills, I won't have any money left to buy dragon blood.
Why don't those people at the Ministry of Magic give themselves a bonus? Didn't I receive the Order of Merlin, Third Class?
If all else fails, then maybe we should sell the medal.
Anyway, it's a bit embarrassing to hold it in your hand, especially when you occasionally run into Mr. Lockhart.
But selling it might not be a good idea either—Loira shook her head, a little troubled, and decided to put aside thinking about this Merlin Level 3 Medal for now; her work needed to focus on the magic circle.
Now that the magic array has been broken, I can start making gifts for my friends.
Christmas is just around the corner—Roy was a little excited, as this was the first time he had ever given a Christmas present to a friend!
I'd better prepare myself well if my friends send me some really nice gifts. Ah, using the word "friends" is quite pretentious, Miss Hamilton!
A faint smile graced Roy's face, her blue eyes blinking. She was in an exceptionally good mood, so good that she could easily learn to use Guardian Angel.
She gently waved her wand, causing a necklace to slowly fly over—the butterbeer necklace that Miss Lovegood had given her before.
Before officially making a gift for her friend, she decided to first engrave the first magic circle on her own necklace.
The blocking magic array doesn't simply make the object it's engraved with have the function of blocking magic spells. In essence, it seems to set up a detection magic spell within a certain range around the object. If a magic spell is detected from the outside in, it will automatically trigger the magic array to block it.
In other words, it can work even if it's engraved on a necklace, but that also means that even if the spell from the outside is healing, it will still trigger the magic circle. You should also record this in your notebook.
Moreover, the blocking magic array is extremely complex. In addition to the ancient magic runes named "Blocking" by Roy at its center, the magic spells engraved on the outside also include the Iron Incantation Spell, the Anti-Intrusion Spell, and other magic spells. Furthermore, it needs to be connected to other magic arrays.
This is probably the most complex magic circle Loira has ever engraved; it's far more complex than a memory magic circle.
Therefore, her movements were extremely careful and slow, and she gently swung the quill in her hand, drawing the crimson dragon blood onto the small butterbeer necklace.
Because the necklace was so small, Roy sometimes had to use a few strands of her own hair as paintbrushes, carefully dipping them in the dye while twirling the ends of her hair.
Loy could actually increase the trigger range of the blocking magic circle by simply enlarging the magic circle itself, as the trigger range of the blocking magic circle is related to the size of the magic circle itself.
But it was clear that he couldn't draw too large a magic circle on the necklace; even the size of the magic circle needed to protect his body was difficult enough.
Fortunately, as a professional magic array expert, Roy was able to complete his work a few hours later.
"Phew—" Loira let out a soft breath, wiped the sweat from her face, and looked at the blocking magic array that had begun to emit a faint glow due to the energy storage magic array. She nodded carefully.
In addition to blocking the magic array, she also engraved some other useful magic arrays on it, all of which could be used between friends!
She pursed her lips, then carefully put away her wand.
If Roy were to accidentally use a spell and ruin the necklace, he might be tempted to kill himself.
She slowly put on the butterbeer necklace, then stretched. It seemed a little late? Roy felt it was probably close to dawn and she seemed to have been busy for a long time. "Cough cough cough." She coughed a few times and then slowly lay down on the green grass of Nurmengard. She felt that her health had deteriorated since she started studying magic circles.
However, it's a bit better than when I fainted before. Maybe it's because my magic array has made a breakthrough recently, and I'm in a better mood?
Speaking of the magic circle in Mr. Riddle's diary, there's still no clue as to it. In fact, Roy has given up on studying that magic circle these past few days. For the past month, she has been focusing all her efforts on deciphering the cipher.
Even with this breakthrough, she is still a little tired. Logically speaking, since Durmstrang didn't catch a cold after being thrown into the water in the dead of winter, her body should be in pretty good shape, right?
Luo Yi subconsciously raised her hand, looking at her slender, pale hand that was even somewhat translucent in the moonlight, and she pursed her lips.
It feels smaller than Miss Lovegood's hand. Has my body been growing lately? Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't changed since I was 14 years old. Is it all thanks to my mother's Veela bloodline?
Thinking of her family, Roy suddenly sighed softly. She thought of the home she had never returned to since she left.
Perhaps I should take some time to go back? After all, sixty years have passed; maybe it's someone else's home now.
Or perhaps lost in thought about the little animals, Roy slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
She hoped she wouldn't have any more nightmares tonight; that was her last thought before falling asleep.
