Chapter 381: Christmas Plan
Aisen looked at the sudden change before him in surprise, but he didn't sense that the other party would cause him any harm.
He saw that the butterfly was about the size of a washbasin, its wings were purplish-red, and the edges were dotted with circles of red, green, and other colors evenly spread around them, looking like a beautiful flower.
The butterfly fluttered its wings once and soared hundreds of feet into the air, then fluttered its wings again and flew straight up into the high sky.
Aisen's gaze followed it and found that it had already flown tens of thousands of meters high in just a few seconds.
However, this altitude was nothing to Aisen; having integrated the Viewing Distance Enhancement Trait and the Over-the-Horizon Trait, he could easily see every detail on the butterfly's wings.
However, just as Aisen continued to observe, he suddenly noticed that the flying butterfly's color had suddenly changed.
He saw that with each flap of its wings, the butterfly's color faded a little; after several flaps, the butterfly seemed to become invisible, turning into a "transparent" color.
After a moment, Aisen could no longer see the butterfly's shadow.
It was as if that butterfly had never appeared in the world; even when Aisen opened God's Perspective and observed with all his might, he couldn't find any trace of the butterfly.
Zhuang Zhou dreams of a butterfly?
After retracting his gaze, Aisen thought quietly, feeling that this method was quite similar to that story!
Immediately after, he replayed the scene several times in the Dream World using scene reproduction.
However, heavenly materials and earthly treasures?
This was a key piece of information Aisen extracted after replaying it several times; although there was nothing strange about it, combined with this world, it seemed particularly abrupt.
But just as he said before, where would he have any heavenly materials and earthly treasures!
Wait—
As if he had thought of something, Aisen's eyes lit up, and he immediately established a new task sequence in the Laplace's Demon System; the content of the task sequence was to analyze all the items he carried and determine which items could be called heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
If that were the case, he should be able to analyze it!
Aisen's face showed a slight smile, and with a flash, he instantly disappeared from where he was.
...
A moment later, when he returned to the dormitory at Zhengyi School, the Laplace's Demon System had completed the analysis task and projected an image of an item onto his retina.
That's right, in just a brief moment, the Laplace's Demon System, which had integrated into his body, had already analyzed all the items he carried and picked out the thing most likely to be a heavenly material and earthly treasure.
Turning off the projection on his retina, Aisen's face showed a look of surprise.
With a turn of his thoughts, a pitch-black bead appeared in his open palm.
The bead, as dark as a black hole, seemed to absorb the surrounding light, giving a sense of infinite depth.
"Is this thing the heavenly material and earthly treasure that Zhuang Zhou spoke of?" Looking at the unremarkable bead in his palm, Aisen fell into deep thought.
Hmm, how did he get this bead?
With that thought, Aisen's memory quickly traced back, replaying the scene where he obtained this bead.
Hmm—, at that time, when he returned to the real world from the Mirror Space, he was stuck in a "channel".
At that time, he seemed to have speculated whether this thing was the origin of the world or the essence of heaven and earth! Could it be that this is really a heavenly material and earthly treasure?
But even if it really is a heavenly material and earthly treasure, what use is it?
Aisen's thoughts raced, and his gaze focused on the bead, rapidly magnifying.
A moment later, Aisen observed the black bead with microscopic vision capable of seeing down to the nanometer scale.
Light reflected off the surface of the bead was completely absorbed as if entering a black hole; occasionally, a few chaotic colored threads flowed within it, reflecting a little light, which Aisen then observed.
But its surface, unlike ordinary objects that become exceptionally rough and uneven when magnified to the microscopic scale, was instead extraordinarily smooth, like the 'Droplet' in the novel 'The Three-Body Problem'.
"Could it be that the function of this thing is to allow me to see figures like Zhuang Zhou?" Aisen withdrew his gaze and murmured.
So, what other uses does it have?
Yes, Aisen tried.
After a long while, Aisen smiled and shook his head, putting the bead away.
Early the next morning, Aisen and Zhengyi School woke up from their dreams.
Aisen, who assumed that given the geographical environment of Zhengyi School, it shouldn't snow at this time, carefully sensed it and found that this heavy snow had obvious traces of artificial casting.
Snowflakes rapidly condensed and fell in mid-air, immersing the entire school in a chill.
Although he didn't know why Zhengyi School would cast artificial snow, Aisen didn't pay too much attention.
After all, Aisen wasn't a teacher here and didn't know the traditions of Zhengyi School.
Perhaps they just wanted the students to experience the campus environment covered in snow.
Walking along the path through the snow, passing the stone wall in front of the teaching building, and ascending the steps, he entered the second floor of the teaching building.
"You want to ask about Christmas!" After hearing Aisen's words, Zou Zunian showed a look of sudden understanding.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, Zhengyi School doesn't celebrate Christmas, right?" Aisen sat opposite Zou Zunian and said unhurriedly.
When he had mentioned this to Harry and the others before, it was still just a guess no matter how he put it.
"You are right.
"So, according to that, there naturally won't be a Christmas holiday either, right?" Aisen's face showed a hint of a smile.
"That's right, I know you have a two-week Christmasholiday over there, but we don't have one here!" Zou Zunian spread his hands.
"I know that!" Aisen's expression didn't change.
"That's how it is, but the Spring Festival holiday won't be until February next year," Zou Zunian seemed to be reminding Aisen.
"That's fine, Harry and the others can just study according to Zhengyi School's arrangements," Aisen said calmly.
He had originally wanted to ask if it would be appropriate for him to leave Zhengyi School for a while during Christmas to have a Christmas holiday, but upon second thought, he himself was not assigned to teach, and usually he could go wherever he wanted.
At that moment, he thought that Zhengyi School would certainly not place any restrictions on him.
Therefore, he didn't continue to ask.
Afterward, Aisen chatted with the other person for a while before turning and going to the Library.
...
That evening, Harry and the others came together again to ask for clarification on some technical terms from the Charm Array Class.
After answering their questions, Aisen told them the definite news he had received from Zou Zunian.
Then, Aisen noticed that their expressions were slightly unhappy.
Cough, cough—, this was actually understandable.
But fortunately, Aisen had already given them a heads-up when he mentioned this matter before; although they were a bit depressed now, they were still relatively calm.
"Professor, Zhengyi School doesn't have a Christmasholiday, so will you stay at school?" Before leaving, Padma suddenly asked, as if remembering something.
After asking this question, Aisen noticed that besides Padma, the other three also looked at him.
Seeing this, Aisen almost couldn't resist the urge to roll his eyes.
Do you think your mood will improve if I say I won't go on a Christmas holiday? Please, since you dare to ask, don't blame me for continuing to hit you.
"No, I will leave Zhengyi School for a while to enjoy this year's Christmas holiday!" Aisen stated the matter directly.
When leaving, Aisen saw that Harry and the others' eyes were even more resentful.
But he wasn't to blame; if Padma hadn't asked, then wouldn't they not have known about him leaving alone for the Christmas holiday?
What? You're saying Aisen spending the Christmasholiday would let them know? What a joke! If Aisenhadn't made it clear, and after leaving, he apparated to Zhengyi School every day to show his face, then returned to the Zhengyi School dormitory to sleep at night, how could they have discovered that he was actually taking the Christmas holiday?
Leaning against the headboard, Aisen had a thought, and the window quietly opened.
A gentle breeze blew through, a touch of chill brushing past the light green curtains and entering the room. Through the gaps in the curtains, one could see the twinkling starlight in the night sky outside the window.
His gaze focused and extended into the distance, piercing through the walls of Zhengyi School, allowing him to see the tranquil scene of the mountain forest at night.
Rustling sounds fed back from Aisen's vision, allowing him to feel the vast and desolate solitude of nature.
Retracting his gaze, Aisen had a thought, and the book of aisen appeared in his hand.
Subsequently, a brilliant silver light emerged in his hand, and then poured directly into the book of aisen like flowing water.
Time passed little by little. About ten minutes later, the brilliant light in Aisen's hand faded, and the book of aisenalso returned to its ordinary appearance.
However, Aisen smiled.
The previous action was just an attempt he made, and unexpectedly, it succeeded very smoothly.
As for what the attempt was, it was actually very simple: to use the book of aisen as an accessory to attach to his Laplace's Demon System.
After all, the book of aisen he refined could already merge into his body. And the Laplace's Demon Systemalso started running based on all the cells in his body.
Thus, connecting the book of aisen as an external accessory to Aisen, this human-shaped supercomputer, was actually a logical progression.
After retracting the book of aisen back into his body, Aisen's mind moved again, and the Chat Group interface immediately unfolded before his eyes.
Aisen: Is it still class time now? It should be over by now!
Hermione: Mhm, mhm, we just finished lunch, and we still have Transfiguration this afternoon.
Aisen: As agreed before, are you really coming to China for the Christmas holiday?
Hermione: Yes, is there a problem?
Aisen: There's no problem, but while the development speed here is very fast, the level of development is not yet high enough. If you come here to travel, you can only see the beautiful mountains and rivers here.
Hermione: Hehe! When traveling, you just look at the beautiful scenery everywhere! And didn't Professor you say before that there's a lot of delicious food over there? I want to try it.
Aisen: If that's the case, there's no problem. It's just that the Christmas holiday is only two weeks long. With such a short time, you probably won't be able to visit many places.
Hermione: It's okay! As long as I'm with Professor, any place I visit is good!
Aisen: Haha! So, have you thought about where you want to visit during the holiday?
Hermione: No, Professor, you told me you know that place very well. Just go wherever you think is fun!
Aisen: Okay, alright, I'll take you around then!
Hermione: Hehe! Oh, right, Professor, will Harry and Hanna also go together then, or will they go home for the holiday?
Aisen: Don't mention them. Zhengyi School doesn't celebrate Christmas, so there's no Christmas holiday.
Hermione: Ah? So they still have to continue attending classes?
Aisen: That's right, they have to keep attending classes until February next year, when they'll have a two-week holiday.
Hermione: What about you, Professor?
Aisen: It doesn't matter to me. Zhengyi School hasn't assigned me any teaching duties, and I'm usually quite free, so leaving for a while isn't a big problem.
Hermione: That's good (*^__^*)…
Aisen: In a few more days, you'll be leaving school, right?
Hermione: That's right, on the morning of the 18th, the Hogwarts Express will depart for King's Cross Station.
Aisen: Then, I'll pick you up at King's Cross Station?
Hermione: Okay, okay!
Aisen: Aren't you going home to tell your parents?
Hermione: Oh dear~ I've already written to them telling them I won't be going back this Christmas holiday!
Aisen: Oh my, Hermione, you've actually learned to lie!
Hermione: Professor ╭(╯^╰)╮!!!
...
After a pleasant conversation, Aisen put away the Chat Group interface.
Early on Saturday morning, the weather had cleared up, but the accumulated snow covering the ground still emitted a hint of coldness.
When Aisen entered the dining hall to eat, he noticed that the atmosphere among the students seemed much livelier. Listening carefully, he realized it was because the school's official Quidditch matches were about to begin.
His gaze shifted, and after Aisen's sight penetrated through the wall, he saw the students leaving the dining hall gathering towards the Quidditch Pitch.
"The official matches are about to start, I wonder if the Tiger's Roar Team still has a chance to qualify?"
"It's hard to say. Although the Dragon Roar Team won two consecutive practice matches, I heard that the Tiger's Roar Team has been getting along well with the exchange student named Harry."
"That's right, the Dragon Roar Team won two consecutive practice matches, and everyone saw that the difference in victory wasn't actually large. The specific outcome will depend on their performance in the official matches."
"There's one match today, one next Saturday, and then the final match the Saturday after next. The team that wins two out of three will participate in the National Quidditch Super League."
"I heard the National Quidditch Super League won't start until April next year?"
"That's right, tickets for the National Quidditch Super League will go on sale at the end of February next year, after the Spring Festival."
"I heard the match location is at Kunlun Jade Palace?"
"That's a Floating City that's rarely open; it's very mysterious!"
"Yes, ordinary Witches only have a chance to visit there during the National Quidditch Super League."
"Who do you think can buy a house and live there?"
"Don't think too much about it. It is said that only those who have made significant contributions to the Witch world, or have made extraordinary inventions, will be allowed to live there permanently!"
"I heard our school's Headmaster is qualified to buy a house in Jade Palace, is that true or false?"
"Of course it's true. Our Headmaster's strength is ranked among the top in the country, and he also proposed the concept of 'Charm Integration with the Body', so he has long been recognized as qualified to live in Jade Palace."
"However, students from Kunlun School are still lucky. After graduation, as long as they pass the assessment, they can obtain the qualification to purchase housing in Jade Palace."
"Don't think about it. A cousin of mine told me that the assessment for Kunlun students to get the qualification to buy housing in Jade Palace after graduation is very difficult, and they might even face life-threatening danger!"
"That's right, unless your strength has reached the level of a school teacher after graduation, participating in such an assessment is purely seeking death."
"For people like us, it's better to think about how we can contribute to the Witch world!"
...
Listening to the students' discussion, Aisen's eyes narrowed slightly.
Aisen had basically heard about the things they were talking about during the few months he had spent at Zhengyi School, but he hadn't looked into the detailed situation deeply.
What? You're saying it's impossible that Jade Palace is a Floating City? No, since magic exists in this world, there's naturally nothing impossible.
It's just a Floating City. If you let Muggles build it, you might need very advanced black technology to do it. But for Witches, one Levitation Charm is enough.
Of course, one person might not be able to cast the Levitation Charm, but hundreds or thousands of people casting spells together can definitely do it.
As for Aisen himself, let's put it this way: with his current strength, directly building a Floating City out of thin air is actually not difficult at all.
It's just that Aisen felt there was no need to do such a thing.
After eating and leaving the dining hall, Aisen looked at the crowd surging towards the Quidditch Pitch. Although his heart stirred slightly, he didn't go there, but instead walked towards the Library.
That's right, it's just a Quidditch match, what's there to see! It's better to use that time to continue "moving books" in the Library.
What? You're asking if the Tiger's Roar Team that Harryis on will win? Cough, cough, you'll know after the match ends!
Chapter 382: "Home"
After spending a day in the Library, Aisen had already heard the students discussing the morning's Quidditchmatch.
The outcome of the match was beyond Aisen's expectations.
He had originally thought that the Dragon Roar Team, who had won two consecutive matches, would be able to secure another win directly and defeat the Tiger's Roar Team. Unexpectedly, Harry, as the starting Seeker, cleanly and swiftly caught the golden snitch, ending the match within a mere twenty minutes.
As a result, in the three official matches before the National Quidditch Super League, Harry's Tiger's Roar Team won the first match with a score of 270:100.
In the next two official matches, if the Tiger's Roar Teamwon just one more, they would be able to participate in next year's National Quidditch Super League.
That evening, Harry even specially sought Aisen out to tell him about it.
Although he knew Harry was excited about winning the match, Aisen still poured some cold water on him.
After all, there were still two matches left, and if the Dragon Roar Team won two consecutive matches, Harrywould probably be in a difficult situation.
...
December 18th, King's Cross Station, just as dawn was breaking and the city hadn't fully woken up, Aisen's figure appeared silently.
On the platform, people were constantly moving through, boarding the train parked alongside. Amidst the hustle and bustle, guards moved through to maintain order.
Arriving between Platform Nine and Platform Ten, Aisenglanced around, then leaned against the wall nearby and waited quietly.
Time passed by little by little. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the wall between Platform Nine and Platform Ten, and then another figure emerged shortly after.
Seeing this scene, Aisen knew that the students from Hogwarts who weren't staying at school and were preparing to go home for the Christmas holiday were all coming out from here.
Fred, George, Neville...
Figures emerged one by one, then mingled with the crowd and quietly left.
It wasn't until a certain moment, when a beautiful figure passed through the wall and revealed herself, that Aisen's lips curved slightly upwards.
Hermione stood there after coming out, looking graceful and elegant. As soon as she emerged from the platform, she tossed her curly brown hair, widened her bright and sparkling eyes, and looked around, as if searching for something.
With a thought, Aisen cast a spell to lower his and Hermione's presence, making them invisible, then smiled and waved.
"Hermione, over here!"
"Professor!" Hermione's face immediately lit up with joy when she saw Aisen's figure, and then she quickly stepped forward to stand before Aisen.
Perhaps because there were many people around, Hermione was hesitant, so although she was surprised and happy, she didn't directly pounce on Aisen. She just suppressed her inner excitement and stepped forward to firmly grasp Aisen's arm.
"Let's go, we can talk as we walk!" Aisen smiled slightly, letting Hermione hold his arm.
...
"By the way, Hermione, the Christmas holiday is two weeks long. Aren't you going to manage the Hogwarts Campus Weekly?" Aisen casually asked as they walked along the street.
"Ron and Colin aren't going home for the Christmasholiday, so with them watching, there shouldn't be any problem," Hermione said, pursing her lips, then looked at Aisen again. "Besides, I've left a few articles for them!"
"Ha! Then there's no problem!" Aisen nodded. "By the way, this is your O.W.Ls year, so you must have a lot of homework for the Christmas holiday!"
"There is a lot of homework, but, Professor, can't you help me using the Dream World?" Hermione looked at Aisenwith sparkling eyes, a faint blush appearing on her fair and delicate face.
"Hmm, of course that's no problem. How about it? Do you want to find a place now to finish the homework first?" Aisen looked at Hermione.
Hermione thought for a while, then nodded and replied, "Okay!"
"Then let's go!" Aisen said, then led Hermione into a small alleyway nearby.
The two walked through the alley and along a grassy path for two minutes before arriving outside a disused warehouse. Hermione took out her wand, thought for a moment, put it away again, and then directly opened the warehouse door with wandless magic.
"How about this disused warehouse? Do you want me to cast a spell to clean it up?" Aisen glanced at the surroundings, then turned to look at Hermione.
"It feels pretty good, no one should come here to disturb us. But, if we clean this place with magic, will the Ministry of Magic find out?" Hermione frowned and looked at Aisen.
"You don't need to worry about that, I can just restore it to its original state with a spell afterwards," Aisen said calmly, then took Hermione's hand and walked inside.
It was dark inside the warehouse. Although both of them were Witches, Hermione suddenly felt a little nervous for some reason.
"Don't worry! I'm by your side, there's nothing to worry about!" Feeling Hermione's nervousness, Aisen smiled and comforted her. As he spoke, he gently pointed his hand in the air, and a faint glow appeared, driving away the surrounding darkness.
Hermione took a deep breath, then slowly walked with Aisen.
"Hermione, this is good enough. Do you have all your homework with you?" Aisen suddenly asked, then pointed his finger, and green threads were drawn from the air in front of them, transforming into a set of table and chairs that appeared out of nowhere.
"Of course, I have to carry my homework with me!" Hermione reached out and revealed the storage ring on her finger, then took out her textbooks and parchment.
The two sat on the chairs. Aisen scanned Hermione's homework, then directly cast the Dream God Spell, pulling Hermione into the Dream World.
Immediately after, Aisen did as he had done before, reproducing the scanned homework in the Dream World, then adjusting the flow of time to give Hermione ample time to do her homework.
In the real world, half an hour later, Hermione emerged from Aisen's Dream World and opened her eyes.
She was slightly disoriented, but her eyes immediately cleared after the bracelet on her wrist emitted a faint silver light. Then, as if she remembered something, she looked at Aisen and couldn't help but bite her lip.
Seeing Hermione's expression, Aisen smiled and snapped his fingers, directly reproducing all the homework Hermione had completed in the Dream World into reality.
"Professor, the homework is finished, so are we going to travel now?" Hermione put away her textbooks and parchment, a hint of excitement showing on her face as she spoke.
"Are we going now?" Aisen couldn't help but rub Hermione's head.
"Is there any problem?" Feeling Aisen's action, Hermione's eyes narrowed slightly. Then, hearing Aisen's words, she was suddenly taken aback.
"There's no problem, but there is one thing you need to pay attention to if you go there," Aisen shook his head.
"What?" Hermione blinked her eyes.
"Time difference!" Aisen reminded her slowly. "There is an eight-hour time difference there compared to here."
"So, if we go now, it's actually already afternoon there?" Hermione's face showed realization.
"Yes, if we go there, the time will be around six in the evening. How about it? Do you want to go now?" Aisennodded.
"It's okay, I know about jet lag!" Hermione said with a knowing expression.
"Alright then, let's go now! I'll take you there!" Aisen said, standing up and beckoning to Hermione.
After Hermione stepped forward and linked her arm with Aisen's again, Aisen's thoughts turned, and he dispelled the table and chairs he had previously created, and restored the small area he had cleared to its original state.
"Professor, are we using the Apparition Charm?" Hermione's eyes immediately lit up.
"Either is fine, I think Apparition and Apparition Without A Trace can be used freely!" Aisen said calmly.
"Let's go, Professor!" Hermione tightened her grip on Aisen's arm.
Feeling the comfortable touch on his arm, Aisen smiled. Just as he was about to take Hermione and leave using Apparition Without A Trace, a flash of inspiration struck him, and a thought popped into his mind.
"Wait—" Aisen said, looking Hermione up and down, and couldn't help but nod.
"What's wrong?" Hermione released Aisen's arm, looking puzzled.
"Here's the thing, don't move for a moment, I'm going to pack you up and take you with me!" Aisen's face showed a hint of a smile.
"Pack me up?" Hermione's face showed suspicion.
"That's right, pack you up!" Aisen nodded and winked at Hermione. "Get ready, here we go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Hermione to react, he snapped his fingers and took her into his newly merged storage space.
What? You're saying the legendary storage space characteristic Aisen merged with can take living people inside after merging? Yes, isn't that a very normal thing?
You know, Newt's case had no problem holding living people. The space Aisen merged with is large enough to hold the entire Solar System, so what's wrong with holding a person? He wouldn't have the slightest difficulty putting the Earth directly inside.
Hmm—putting the entire Earth into a personal space? That kind of idea—
Shaking his head, Aisen cleared the distractions from his mind, then looked at the internal space of the abandoned warehouse, and with a flash of his figure, disappeared from the spot.
...
In a room in Building Number Four at Zhengyi School, Aisen's figure appeared out of thin air.
With a thought, a figure appeared before Aisen; it was Hermione, whom he had just taken into his personal space. However, as soon as Hermione appeared, she didn't pay attention to the changes in her surroundings but immediately threw herself into Aisen's arms.
"Professor, where was that just now?" Hermione's tone was quite urgent.
Hugging Hermione, Aisen immediately smiled: "As a fifth-year student at Hogwarts, I think you should know Newt Scamander, right?"
"Newt Scamander? Of course, I know him. The author of 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them', an authority in the field of Magizoology, and even appeared on a chocolate frog card! After retiring, he lives with his wife in Dorset, England," Hermione rattled off Newt's information.
"That's right. Since you know Newt, you must also know he has a case, right?" Aisen continued.
"Newt's case!" Hermione's face showed a thoughtful expression. "It's said that the space inside Newt's case is very vast, which is why it can hold many magical creatures. Could it be that Professor also put me into—"
As she spoke, Hermione seemed to think of something and fixed her gaze on Aisen's left-hand fingers.
Seeing Hermione's expression, Aisen knew she was mistaken.
Although he could indeed expand the space in the ring to that extent now, the space inside the storage ring in his hand was still the same as before.
"No, I just used magic to open up a space, right on my body!" Aisen shook his head and then gave a vague explanation.
"Professor, do you mean you opened up a space on your body and then expanded it using the Undetectable Extension Charm?" Hearing this explanation, Hermionecouldn't help but step forward and pinch Aisen's arm, as if to see if he was different from before.
"That's right. The size of this space, anyway, is no smaller than the space in Newt's case," Aisen said with a smile.
"Then, Professor, can I stay inside for the next few days?" Hermione proposed an idea that greatly surprised Aisen.
Originally, Aisen was thinking that after playing around here for a while, he would need to book some hotels for accommodation, but he didn't expect Hermione to think this way.
However, on second thought, Aisen suddenly realized that Hermione's idea seemed quite good.
Because the space Aisen merged into his body was large enough, he could completely build a new ecosystem if he wanted to, so letting Hermione stay for a while was not a problem at all.
"If you want to live inside, then we'll have to arrange to build a house, how about that?" After clearing his thoughts, Aisen said to Hermione with a smile.
"That's great!" Hermione was so excited she seemed about to jump up. Then, as if she thought of something, she widened her eyes. "Professor, you can go in too?"
"That's right, I can go in too!" Aisen knew what Hermionemeant but still nodded.
"But, Professor, you just said that space was opened up on your own body, so if you go in, wouldn't that—" Hermione said, her face showing confusion.
"Uh, that's true, but I can indeed go in!" Aisen shrugged his shoulders.
That's right. After Aisen merged with the legendary storage space characteristic, it was equivalent to opening up a space on his own body. However, Aisen himself could also enter this space.
If you were to delve deeper, it would raise a very strange question.
Logically, when Aisen enters his personal space, his personal space is still within his body, so he should be able to keep going deeper and deeper.
Cough cough—in other words, this is a kind of infinite nesting doll behavior!
Of course, Aisen had actually tried it before. Once inside the personal space, trying to go deeper into the space using the nesting doll method was actually not possible.
"Hurry up and go in, hurry up and go in..." Hermionesuddenly became a little impatient.
Seeing this, Aisen smiled, and then with a thought, he and Hermione flashed and disappeared from the spot.
...
In the vast, boundless space, Aisen and Hermione's figures flashed into existence and then floated quietly in the air. Before the two could fall, a steaming aura of mist appeared out of thin air, supporting them.
This was a space with no up, down, left, or right, no sky, and no ground. Although it was indeed large enough, just as Aisen perceived, large enough to hold the entire Solar System, it was currently too desolate.
Aisen and Hermione, whose figures had just flashed into existence, were in such a space that there wasn't even a place to stand.
However, because this space was opened up by Aisenmerging with the legendary storage space characteristic, and because this space was directly merged into his body, he had a certain degree of control over it.
Of course, he couldn't control everything in this space, such as regulating the flow of time, modifying reality, and so on, but simple changes were possible, such as adjusting the general shape of the entire space.
"Professor, just how big is this space?" Hermione stood beside Aisen, looking up and around in all directions, watching the flickering points of light in the distance, and couldn't help but ask.
Throughout the entire space, the points of light that seemed to flicker like stars were actually the magical runes Aisen had previously scattered within it.
Each of those outlined magical runes would drift in this space and then emit a faint light, providing illumination for this space.
This was a method Aisen used to illuminate this space.
That's right. If Aisen could control this space like he controlled the Dream World, he could just think it into existence and replicate a Solar System.
But clearly, although this space was opened up by being merged into Aisen's body, it was a truly real and substantial space.
And in such a truly real and substantial space in the real world, Aisen obviously couldn't have god-like authority.
Therefore, Aisen, who couldn't just conjure up a sun, could only create a long-term task of outlining magical runes in the Laplace's Demon System and then continuously throw the runes into this space.
And right now, the fact that this space has magical runes that can emit points of light is precisely for this reason.
"This? It's probably bigger than the entire Earth!" Aisensaid, and with a thought, he had already adjusted the entire space into a giant spherical space.
"Bigger than the Earth?" Hearing Aisen's words, Hermione was so surprised for a moment that she couldn't close her mouth. She just looked around but couldn't see what the scene was like further away.
"Yes, bigger than the Earth!" Aisen said, a hint of emotion appearing on his face. "You know, the storage rings on my hand and the ones I gave to you and Harry were actually made for the convenience of carrying things."
The space opened up on my body, my initial purpose was also this, just to be able to carry things more conveniently. After all, the function of the Undetectable Extension Charm is to expand space for Witches to utilize."
"But if we want to carry some things, this ring is enough!" Hermione nestled beside Aisen and held out the storage ring on her finger, indicating it.
"Emmm... You're right. Then let's do as you just said, don't you want to live here? How about we build this place into our home?" Aisen said shamelessly.
Chapter 383: super man Hermione
"Our—our—our home?" Hermione stammered, staring blankly at Aisen, then as if she thought of something, her fair face turned red at a visible speed.
"What do you think of this idea?" Seeing Hermione's reaction, Aisen showed a half-smile.
"Professor!" Hermione shyly pouted, burying her head in Aisen's arms, and hitting Aisen's chest hard with her delicate fists a few times. Then, as if she was even more embarrassed, she fell silent.
Faint clouds and mist swirled at their feet, enveloped by the faint surrounding light, revealing a hazy appearance. For a time, their figures intertwined, as if they were true immortal partners, standing alone from the world.
After a long while, as if her mood had calmed down, Hermione left Aisen's arms.
"Then, Professor, what should we do next? We don't even have a place to stay now!" Looking at the clouds beneath her feet, although the blush on Hermione's face had not faded, she said seriously.
Looking around, it was indeed as Hermione said, the two of them were standing on the swirling clouds and mist at the moment. Although it looked like they were riding the clouds and mist and had a lot of fairy aura, if they were to build a place to live in it, putting aside other things, there must be at least a piece of land to stand on.
What? You mean build a Floating City suspended above the clouds and mist? This idea is feasible, but the problem is, if it's just building a Floating City, Aisen feels that the limitations are quite large.
In his opinion, it would be better to directly create a whole suspended continent in the center of this space. Then, they can build whatever kind of housing they want according to their wishes.
Even, it is possible to directly open up a river on this continent, or move in a mountain, etc.
"What do you think about building a continent under our feet?" Aisen's thoughts turned in his mind as he looked at Hermione and asked.
"Build a continent?" Hermione's face showed a surprised expression, and then she suddenly looked at Aisen, feeling as if she couldn't believe he would say such an outrageous thing.
"Why? Do you think I can't do it?" Aisen immediately laughed when he saw this.
"Then, Professor, how do you plan to do it? Are you going to use Transfiguration?" Hermione still had an expression of disbelief.
"Transfiguration can certainly do it, but there is nothing in it. If I really use Transfiguration directly, it might take some effort!" Aisen said slowly while pondering.
That's right, just as he said.
There is no problem in directly extracting the elements from the air and transforming them into land. Even, it is possible to convert the light emitted by the Ancient Runes scattered throughout this space into matter and turn it into land.
However, if I really do this, I always feel that it will have some impact on this space. Or rather, Aisen still prefers to transfer some materials from the outside world to be more stable.
For example, directly collect some seawater in the Pacific Ocean. Or simply go to outer space to collect some meteorites or asteroids or something.
"Then, Professor, you must be even more powerful than Dumbledore, right?" As if she thought of something, Hermione's eyes sparkled as she spoke and looked at Aisen.
"Why do you ask?" Aisen's face showed a hint of surprise.
"Didn't you just say that the space you created is bigger than Earth—?" Hermione said, her mouth curving up, "I know the Undetectable Extension Charm. Who in the entire Wizarding World can create such a large space? Even Dumbledore can't, right?"
"Maybe, but that's not important, living a happy life is the most important thing, don't you think?" Aisen's face was full of smiles.
"That's right, happiness is the most important thing!" Hermione said with a bright smile on her face.
"Let's go, let's go out first! I want to transfer some things in from outside!" Aisen smiled and nodded. With a thought, he took Hermione and left this space.
...
Zhengyi School, Teacher's Dormitory.
Aisen and Hermione reappeared in a flash.
"Professor, is this room the place you rented?" Hermione, who hadn't noticed earlier, seemed to have just realized it at this time. She looked around and asked curiously.
"No, this is the teacher's dormitory of Zhengyi School!" Aisen pulled out two chairs from behind the desk and handed one of them to Hermione.
"Zhengyi School teacher's dormitory! Is this Zhengyi School? Do Harry and Hanna study here?" As soon as she heard it was Zhengyi School, Hermione immediately became interested.
"That's right, they are in the first year at Zhengyi School!" Aisen nodded.
"I heard about this. Harry mentioned it when he talked to Ginny through the Double-sided Mirror. But—" Hermionesaid with strong curiosity in her eyes, "Professor, did they really go to the first year because they couldn't understand what the teachers here were teaching?"
"That's right! I don't think Dumbledore was wrong to restart the exchange student program at Hogwarts, but if they chose Zhengyi School or the schools here, the effect might not be as good as expected!" Aisen replied.
"Professor, do you mean that students from Hogwartscan only start from the first year when they come here?" Hermione showed a thoughtful expression.
"That's right! Due to the difference in traditional culture between the two schools, the content to be learned will also be very different! If they don't start from scratch, they probably won't learn anything." Aisen said unhurriedly, "However, it's not to say that coming here as an exchange student is completely ineffective.
At the very least, if they study hard for a year, they will definitely make progress."
"Professor means that after Harry and the others return to Hogwarts next year, their strength will improve a lot?"
"It may improve, but the biggest change should be that their horizons will be broadened a lot!" Aisen pondered, "By the way, how are those exchange students from Zhengyi School who went to Hogwarts?"
"They~" Hearing Aisen's question, Hermione seemed to think of something, and her brows couldn't help but furrow.
"Hmm? Is there a problem?" Aisen was immediately surprised.
Before, he had not paid attention to the exchange students who went to Hogwarts, and of course, he was not interested in knowing whether their study plan there was going smoothly.
This time, he just asked out of curiosity.
"They seem to interact with people very little. Every day after class, they either go to the Library together or return to the dormitory together." Hermione said with a strange look on her face, "Since the beginning of the new semester until now, I haven't said more than a few words to them!"
"Is that so?" Aisen's face became strange, "It's probably because they changed environments!"
"Professor means that the students here are not like that?" Hermione's face showed strong surprise.
"Of course not! Everyone can only open themselves up and communicate with people around them in the same environment." Aisen explained casually, "Think about it, if you go to a completely unfamiliar environment and have to interact with others, don't you have to gradually get to know them?"
"That's true, they didn't talk to people at first, and although they still talk less now, they have indeed started to talk!" Hermione nodded.
"Let's go!" Aisen said, standing up and extending his arm.
"We need to transfer some things to that space—oh, Professor, you need to give that space a name!" Hermionegot up and hugged Aisen's arm.
"Hmm—, you're right, I should give it a name!" Aisen said, looking at Hermione, the corners of his mouth slightly curved, "But what name should I give it? Hermione, what do you think?"
"Oh, I don't know either." Hermione said, seemingly thinking of what Aisen had said earlier, and her face flushed again, "Professor, what do you think of calling it 'Double Leaf Paradise'?"
"Double Leaf Paradise?" Aisen showed a surprised expression, "Does this name have any meaning?"
"No meaning! Can we just call it this name?" Hermionepuffed out her cheeks hard, and after saying that, she turned her head to look the other way.
"Ha! Of course, no problem, this space will be called Double Leaf Paradise!" Aisen's face filled with a smile, "So, now we are going to decorate this Double Leaf Paradise, what do you think?"
"Of course, I'm already a little impatient!" Hermione said sweetly.
"Hmm—, we still need to make some preparations!" Aisenstopped before leaving, then looked Hermione up and down and said slowly.
"What?" Hermione looked at Aisen in confusion.
"It's nothing major, just need to prepare a bit in advance. You sit on the chair and don't move!" Aisen said, having Hermione sit back down on the chair.
Although Hermione was curious, she sat down as Aiseninstructed.
"Don't worry, I'm just casting a spell on you, it won't hurt you!" Sitting across from Hermione, Aisen reassured her.
"I believe you!" Hermione nodded vigorously.
Seeing Hermione trust him so much, a smile appeared on Aisen's face. Immediately after, he didn't delay. With a wave of his hand, he outlined Ancient Runes, then quickly transformed them into silver runes…
The runes quickly condensed, then rapidly shrunk. Under Aisen's microscopic vision, the runes were clearly arranged together. In a short while, they had already transformed into a hazy silver light covering the space above his palm.
Then, as Aisen's thoughts turned, the aggregated runes quickly separated, arranging themselves into threads that drilled into Hermione's body.
The runes penetrated deep into the cellular level, engraving themselves upon it.
When the silver light in Aisen's hand completely dissipated, he stopped his actions.
"Professor, are you done?" Seeing Aisen stop his actions, Hermione asked cautiously.
"Spellcasting complete! How do you feel?" Aisen stepped forward and pulled Hermione up from the chair.
"Feel?" Hearing Aisen say this, Hermione closed her eyes and sensed carefully.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, her face showing surprise and doubt.
"How is it?" Aisen smiled.
"It feels like something—" Hermione stretched out her hands and touched her arms, body, and face, "—is drilling into my body?"
"Ha! You're right! The magic I cast on you is taking effect!" Aisen said calmly.
"Professor, what is this?" Hermione's eyes widened.
"Hmm—, you know about magical items or alchemical creations, right?" Aisen hesitated slightly before speaking.
"Yes, I've learned a lot of Ancient Runes now and can also create some items with Alchemy. Professor, have you forgotten? The Double-sided Mirror I gave you before was made by me!" Hermione said, a hint of pride on her face.
"Right, right, you're correct!" Aisen immediately laughed, "What I want to say is, since ordinary items can be transformed into alchemical items using Alchemy, why can't similar methods be used to add some magic to the body?"
"Professor, you mean—" As if she had thought of something, Hermione's face showed shock.
"That's right, I've created a Charm that has the effect of Energy Absorption. Then I disassembled it and rearranged it with Ancient Runes and runes, engraving it onto your body," Aisen said lightly.
"Energy Absorption?" Hermione's face showed suspicion.
"Yes, Energy Absorption! The Energy Absorption runes engraved on your body allow you to constantly absorb the energy of this world. Besides using it to sustain your own activities, it can also strengthen your body," Aisencontinued to explain.
"Uh, Professor, you mean I won't feel hungry even if I don't eat from now on, right?" Hermione blinked her eyes and looked at Aisen.
"Hmm—, I think, not only won't you need to eat, but if you want, you won't need to breathe either!" Aisen shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh, I see!" Hermione seemed to have thought of something and suddenly showed a look of realization, "During the second task of the Triwizard Tournament last year, Professor, you said you could hold your breath underwater for an hour. You were lying, right!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Hermione looked at Aisen angrily, as if he had done something unforgivable.
"Ahem—, perhaps the magic I cast underwater at that time was the Charm that allows one to breathe freely underwater, the one I used before I took you to the moon last time!" Aisen's face showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Hmph, don't lie to me! I remember very clearly that you said the Charm that allows one to breathe underwater is a different method!" Hermione snorted delicately.
"Alright, I admit, I also have Energy Absorption runes engraved on me!" Aisen shook his head slightly, "But I didn't intentionally hide it, after all, this method isn't mature!"
"Okay! I forgive you!" Hermione's eyes rolled around, then she looked at Aisen, "Professor, do you only have Energy Absorption runes on you?"
"Of course not, aren't I telling you now?" Aisen laughed, "I wanted to ask you, I also have some runes with magical effects engraved on me, do you want me to add them to your body?"
"Of course!" Hermione said in a matter-of-fact manner.
"Alright, then sit properly and I'll continue casting the spell." Aisen nodded.
After Hermione obediently sat on the chair, Aisen sat across from her again and began his actions.
With a turn of his thoughts, Aisen extended his hands and outlined Ancient Runes.
The Ancient Runes danced on Aisen's fingertips, like the most primitive spirits in the world, arranging themselves in a beautiful rhythm, combining to form runes that shimmered with silver light, continuing to circle in the air.
Previously, when Aisen had engraved himself with runes for waterproofing, fireproofing, unbreakable strength, ultimate hardness, and ultimate softness, his power was decent, but it was far from what it is now.
Especially now, with the Laplace's Demon System, multitasking is effortless for Aisen.
Therefore, disassembling these magical effects with Ancient Runes and engraving the runes onto Hermione's body simultaneously was much faster.
Ancient Runes like a shower of flowers swirled around the two of them, emitting dazzling light. With Aisen's movements, runes drilled into Hermione's body, penetrating deep into her skin, flesh, organs, and bones, engraving themselves upon them.
After five minutes, the surrounding Ancient Runes and runes had completely disappeared, and Aisen also stopped his actions.
"Professor, is it over?" Blinking her eyes and seeing Aisenstop his actions, Hermione asked softly.
"That's right, it's over! Now you and I are the same!" Aisentook Hermione's hand and stood up.
"Really?" Hermione stood up with the momentum, moved her limbs, and showed a surprised expression.
"Of course! Wait a moment—" As Aisen spoke, he tore a piece of paper from the desk nearby and transformed it into a ten-centimeter-thick steel alloy plate.
"Professor, what is this?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Come, hit it with all your might!" Aisen held both ends of the steel alloy plate with both hands, exposing the middle part to Hermione.
"Professor, are you kidding?" Hermione's eyes widened as she looked at the steel alloy plate in front of her, and she couldn't help but swallow. Then, seeing Aisen's smiling expression, she suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"Of course not, look carefully!" Aisen said, showing the perfectly smooth steel alloy plate to Hermione, then held one end with one hand and punched it "gently" with the other.
Dong—
A dull sound echoed, and Hermione looked intently, immediately taking a sharp breath.
She saw that the ten-centimeter-thick steel alloy plate had actually been punched through by Aisen.
"How is it?" Aisen let go, and the steel alloy plate, with a hole in the middle, hung directly on his arm.
Are you kidding? Although I was "asleep" for nearly ten thousand years, the Energy Absorption runes have been strengthening my body. Now! I! Aisen! Am a super man!
"I can do that too?" Hermione's eyes widened. She stepped forward and grabbed Aisen's arm, rubbing it back and forth, her face showing an expression of disbelief.
Okay, although Hermione knew that magic was very amazing after entering the Wizarding World, this was the first time she had seen something so outrageous!
"That's right! Hermione, do you know about super man?" Aisen took off the steel alloy plate hanging on his arm and restored it to its original state with a thought, "Since I engraved those runes on you, you are a super man."
"Professor, doesn't it hurt?" Hermione was still full of surprise.
"Of course it doesn't hurt, come on, try it!" Aisen held the steel alloy plate and gestured to Hermione.
Seeing Aisen's encouraging expression, Hermione took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and swung it forcefully at the middle of the steel alloy plate.
"Hey—"
Dong!
"It really doesn't hurt!" Hermione didn't pay attention to the change in the steel alloy plate. After retracting her fist, she rubbed her delicate hand, her face showing an expression of surprise.
Chapter 384: The Origin of magic?
"Haha! I told you, but you didn't believe me!" Seeing Hermione's surprised expression, Aisen couldn't help but laugh.
"Professor, let me see!" Hermione clenched her fist, and after feeling that there was no problem with herself, she turned her gaze and stepped forward to take the alloy steel plate from Aisen's hand.
Seeing Hermione's demeanor, Aisen smiled and shook his head.
Although Hermione's body was already inscribed with the same runes as Aisen, the runes on Aisen's body had been nourished for nearly ten thousand years.
Coupled with the strengthening of his body by the Energy Absorption runes, Aisen's strength had also reached a terrifying level.
This was also the reason why he could punch through a ten-centimeter-thick alloy steel plate with a gentle wave of his fist.
It was precisely because of this that he said he was a super man.
As for Hermione, this super man, cough cough--, she was just a kindergarten-level super man!
"Professor, why isn't there any mark on it?" Hermionehanded the alloy steel plate to Aisen, a hint of doubt in her tone.
Indeed, in Hermione's view, Aisen hadn't been in the Wizarding World for long. Since he could punch directly through the alloy steel plate, then her body, which had just been inscribed with Energy Absorption and various other effect runes, should at least leave some marks, even if she couldn't do it like Aisen.
However, after Hermione observed carefully, she found that when she punched the alloy steel plate, besides not feeling any pain, she also didn't find any marks left behind.
"Don't worry about this, you'll be able to do the same as me in the future!" Aisen took the alloy steel plate, and with a thought, transformed it back into paper and placed it on the desk.
Hmm--
Let's leave it at that for now! With these runes inscribed on Hermione, her strength has already increased several times over. In the future, I'll slowly add to her strength.
"Oh, I see, Professor!" Hermione nodded and didn't press further, but when she looked at Aisen, her eyes always held a strange light.
"Let's go, time to depart!" Aisen said, then tilted his head back and looked up.
His pupils changed rapidly, then his gaze seemed to penetrate the roof, slowly shifting direction, then he withdrew his gaze, smiled at Hermione, and with a flash, he and Hermione had disappeared from the dormitory.
...
The vast universe, empty and boundless!
On a certain dune on the reddish surface of Mars, Aisenand Hermione's figures flashed and instantly appeared.
After appearing, Aisen's expression didn't change much, but Hermione looked around with a surprised face, especially after finding that she could be perfectly fine without breathing, she even bounced around on the spot a few times.
"Professor--" As soon as she spoke, Hermione realized that her voice sounded very strange. Seeing Aisen looking at her with a smile, she immediately reacted.
Hermione: Professor, what was that just now?
Hermione directly asked through the Chat Group.
Aisen: You should know that sound needs a medium to travel. The place we are in now is Mars!
Hermione: Mars?
A look of surprise appeared on Hermione's face, then she squatted down and poked the ground with her finger.
Aisen: Although space is a vacuum and sound cannot travel, there is actually an atmosphere on the surface of Mars.
Hermione: So, you heard me speaking just now, Professor?
Aisen: That's right, but because the Martian atmosphere is relatively thin, your voice sounded very faint to me.
Hermione: Then, Professor, did you come to Mars to transfer some Martian sand and soil to Double Leaf Paradise?
Seeing this, Aisen immediately laughed, looked around, observing this planet that had revolved around the Sun for millions of years without rest, then shook his head.
Aisen: Of course not. Don't you think Mars is a little too close to Earth?
You should know, the current time is already 1995.
Although this time point is not an era with sufficiently developed technology for Aisen, the Muggle World's probes had already landed on Mars decades ago.
In other words, if Aisen transferred a large amount of sand and soil from Mars into Double Leaf Paradise, wouldn't the possibility of being exposed to Muggles increase greatly?
Although Aisen doesn't feel that exposure would have any impact on him now, deliberately exposing himself is completely unnecessary, isn't it?
Hermione: Then, Professor, why did you bring me to Mars?
Aisen: Well, we need to transfer some materials into Double Leaf Paradise. The target is meteorites or asteroids from farther away. It's just that we always have to go out step by step, so Mars is our first stop.
Hermione: Oh, I understand, Professor. Do you mean you can't move to a farther distance all at once?
Aisen: With you by my side, I naturally have to be a little more cautious.
Hermione: (*^__^*)! ...
Aisen: Do you want to take a look around Mars and see the scenery? Anyway, we have plenty of time and are not in a hurry!
Hermione: Yes, yes!
After a conversation, Aisen cast a spell to conjure clouds and mist, and flew with Hermione over Mars.
Actually, Aisen was still a bit hesitant about transferring some asteroids from the universe into Double Leaf Paradise.
After all, he had thought before that the entire Solar System was a very delicate structure, where one action could affect the whole. If Aisen transferred a certain asteroid, causing a butterfly effect that ultimately led to a meteorite hitting Earth, that would be his sin.
By the same token, Aisen couldn't be sure whether asteroids outside the Solar System also played a very crucial role in the overall structure of the Galaxy.
Perhaps it was extremely small and insignificant, but it stayed there because its own weight, rotation period, average density, and various other parameters were just right.
Aisen couldn't be sure if moving it would trigger a chain reaction.
Therefore, after some thought, Aisen finally set his sights on various meteorites outside the Solar System.
...
Hermione: Professor, is that a volcano on Mars?
Aisen: What is it? Does it look taller and bigger than volcanoes on Earth?
Hermione: I know, Professor Trelawney mentioned this when she was teaching Divination.
Aisen: How do you feel about Mars?
Hermione: It's alright, just a bit too desolate. Wait, Professor, is that a Mars probe?
Aisen: That's right, thirty years ago, humans sent probes to Mars!
Hermione: It's a pity they don't know magic, otherwise they would have landed on Mars long ago, right Professor?
Aisen: That's true, but the pace of technological development is still very fast. Perhaps in not many years, you will see how Muggles travel to Mars by spaceship.
Hermione: But magic is much more convenient!
Aisen: That is indeed the case for now!
Hermione: Professor, why do you think Witches don't leave Earth to explore the universe like Muggles do?
Aisen: Perhaps it's because there's no survival pressure!
Hermione: Survival pressure?
Aisen: That's right, humans have always lived on Earth, and as time goes on, resources are constantly being consumed. If they don't explore outer space, the resources on Earth will eventually be depleted. But Witches, because they know magic, have long been able to be self-sufficient.
Hermione: I see. Just like the Duplication Charm and Engorgement Charm used on food, Witches are not short of food.
Aisen: That's right, Witches can also use the Water-Summoning Charm to summon clean water. So, when they are not short of food and water, exploring outer space is basically an unlikely thing.
Hermione: So, with the development of technology, Muggles' footprints will sooner or later leave Earth before Witches do?
Aisen: You are right! But don't think too much. Look, aren't you a Witch? You have already set foot on Mars, and in a while, you will set foot outside the Solar System, won't you?
Hermione: Oh, Professor!
Aisen: Haha! Let's go, let's continue our journey!
...
Hundreds of millions of kilometers away, Jupiter, this colossal entity, seemed like a monster, observing Aisenand Hermione.
With a flash of their figures, the two were already approaching Jupiter.
As the largest planet in the Solar System, when the two observed this gas giant up close, they immediately felt a sense of "covering the sky and blocking out the sun".
Hermione: Is this Jupiter? It's so big, completely different from what you see through a telescope!
Aisen: Huh? Do you feel it?
Gazing at this giant planet lingering in the Solar System, before he could properly appreciate it, he felt a strange sensation.
Hermione: It is a bit different. What is that?
After casting a Super-Sensory Charm on herself, Hermione also noticed something different, then looked directly at Jupiter, her eyes filled with doubt.
Aisen: The aura of magic, the entire Jupiter is filled with the aura of magic!
Hermione: What's going on?
Aisen: I don't know, but this place feels like a real blessed land!
Hermione: Blessed land?
Aisen nodded without saying anything, staring intently at Jupiter, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes. Then, as if remembering something, Aisen shook his head and cleared his mind of distracting thoughts.
It was strange to say, although this Jupiter was a planet in the Solar System, it gave Aisen a very strange feeling, as if it were a planet where magic converged.
For example, the magic accumulated in Aisen's body for nearly ten thousand years felt like a vast ocean of magichad been nurtured. But compared to Jupiter in front of him, it felt like a mere wave, somewhat insignificant.
It was as if the entire Jupiter was continuously absorbing the magic from the entire Solar System or even larger spaces, finally condensing into such a massive magicplanet.
Of course, Aisen didn't mean that Jupiter's gaseous components weren't elements like hydrogen and helium, but rather that these gaseous components were mixed with extremely vast magic.
As this behemoth rotated and revolved, some magicwould escape from it, drifting towards Earth hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
With a turn of thought, Aisen spread out his hand towards Jupiter, and then strands of threads detached from Jupiter, converging and floating in Aisen's palm.
A hint of silver light flickered, then suddenly became contained. After a moment, Aisen withdrew his palm.
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that a faint thread in Aisen's hand had dissipated and disappeared!
Hermione: Professor, is there a problem?
Aisen: No, there should be a big secret hidden here, but obviously, we can't decipher this secret now.
Yes, Aisen had tried earlier, but found that with his methods, he couldn't strip magic from Jupiter.
Although he didn't know if his current methods were unable to affect extremely tiny magic particles, or simply couldn't do it, there was no doubt that it poured cold water on Aisen, who had thought himself invincible.
Uh, or perhaps it shouldn't be put that way. It should be said that it made Aisen's heart, which had swelled due to his strength, slightly 'calmer'.
Of course, saying this doesn't mean Aisen would be afraid of someone, but rather that when facing the entire universe, let alone the universe, even when facing the Galaxy, he was still a bit naive.
For example, now, facing this Jupiter, it was very difficult for Aisen to decipher its mysteries.
What? You mean Aisen should just transfer Jupiter to Double Leaf Paradise, so he can get a magic planet? Please, just a little thought will tell you that such an action would inevitably have a huge impact on the entire Earth and the Solar System.
Clearly, Aisen wouldn't do that.
What if this Jupiter, full of magic, was the origin of magicand the source of magic in this world? If Aisen took it away, wouldn't it be very likely to lead this world into a 'spiritual energy depletion' era of the end of magic?
At that time, Aisen couldn't say what impact it would have on the entire world, but it might even seriously affect himself!
Hermione: Professor, should we build a place to stay here?
Aisen: A place to stay?
Hermione: Yes, Professor said we can't decipher the secret here, but we can build a place to stay, and it won't be too late to come back here and slowly decipher it when we have time.
Aisen: Hmm, what you said makes a lot of sense!
After a brief conversation, Aisen understood Hermione's meaning.
Immediately, he didn't hesitate and directly used magic to extract a large amount of dust particles from Jupiter's rings, condensing a stone slab about ten zhang in radius within Jupiter's atmosphere.
Immediately after, Aisen inscribed Charms runes on it, such as Suspension, Synchronized Positioning, and Unbreakable.
As Hermione said, this stone slab was suspended within Jupiter's atmosphere, rotating with Jupiter's rotation and revolving with Jupiter's revolution.
Later, if he came back here, Aisen could come here with a thought through Apparition or Apparition Without A Trace. Hmm—, not only that, he could also come here by extracting and replicating the space-traveling characteristic from a Portkey. Moreover, this kind of ultra-long-distance teleportation seemed more direct through the space-traveling characteristic.
Aisen: Let's go, let's continue our journey!
With a turn of his gaze, Aisen looked towards Saturn, hundreds of millions of kilometers away, then wrapped his arms around Hermione and disappeared in a flash.
Saturn with the most moons, Uranus which was blue-green like it had been dipped in dye, Neptune which was blue like a vast ocean, Pluto which was brown with a hint of red...
At each stop, Aisen and Hermione had a novel experience.
Previously, Aisen often took Hermione into the Dream World and played in the vastness of space. Although everything in the Dream World was very real, it wasn't the real world after all.
Therefore, observing the major planets up close was a rare experience for both of them.
What? You're talking about the various radiations and temperature changes in the universe and their impact on them? To be honest, that wasn't a problem.
Because both of them had Energy Absorption runes inscribed on them, various radiations and temperature changes had no effect on them.
After entering the Kuiper Belt, in a sense, Aisen and Hermione had stepped into the edge of the Solar System. Looking back at the sun from here, they would find that the sun, six billion kilometers away, was just a faintly glowing point of light.
However, it was clear that even at such a vast distance, the asteroids and comets in the Kuiper Belt were still within the sun's gravitational pull.
Thinking about it carefully, you'll realize how terrifying this is!
Hermione: Professor, I've realized that humans are truly insignificant in the universe!
As if having a different feeling, Hermione hugged Aisen's arm tightly.
Aisen: Indeed, judging solely from the spatial scale, let alone humans, even the entire planet is extremely insignificant to the universe.
Hermione: Professor, you said the universe is so big, besides us, are there aliens?
Aisen: I don't know! However, we possess this magical power of magic, which can encourage us to explore the universe. Perhaps we will find aliens!
Hermione: What if aliens don't exist?
Aisen: Then the existence of humanity is definitely a miracle in the universe.
The two continued to jump outwards. On a certain asteroid hundreds of millions of kilometers away, their figures instantly appeared, then instantly disappeared. When they reappeared, they had crossed a range of hundreds of millions of kilometers.
Cold and darkness were the main themes of the universe, while light, like the sun, seemed to be a rare sight.
If he relied solely on flight, Aisen would have to travel extremely far to leave the Solar System. Even if he transformed into light and flew at the speed of light, it would take a very, very long time.
But methods like space travel and instantaneous movement were just a matter of an instant.
At a certain moment, Aisen and Hermione's figures appeared in the universe and stopped.
Hermione: Professor, are these asteroids your target?
Aisen: That's right, these are all outside the range of the sun's gravity, extremely inactive asteroids. If we gather some, we can build Double Leaf Paradise.
As they talked, their figures flashed and appeared in front of an asteroid hundreds of meters in diameter. With a wave of his hand, Aisen collected it. Immediately after, their figures continued to flicker.
Time passed by little by little, and at the same time, asteroids were continuously collected by Aisen into Double Leaf Paradise. He was like a cosmic cleaner, diligently clearing away the floating asteroids one by one.
Half an hour passed, and after Aisen had collected tens of thousands of large asteroids, he stopped his actions.
Hermione: Is that enough?
Aisen: That's right, the goal for this time has been achieved.
Hermione: Can we go back to Earth now? I can't see the sun anymore, won't we get lost in the universe?
When Hermione looked around, she found that she could no longer distinguish up, down, left, or right, nor could she distinguish which flickering point of light in the universe was the sun.
When she looked at Aisen, a hint of worry appeared on her face.
Chapter 385 Double Leaf Paradise
Seeing Hermione like this, Aisen smiled. He reached out and rubbed Hermione's head, then immediately comforted her in the Chat Group.
Aisen: Don't worry, ordinary people might get lost in the universe, but don't forget we have magic!
Hermione: Oh, that's good!
Seeing Aisen's comfort, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief.
Aisen: Did you forget the stone slab you suggested I build on Jupiter just now? I left a positioning magic on it!
Hermione: Then Professor, let's hurry back!
Remembering Aisen's previous actions, Hermionecouldn't contain her joy and shook Aisen's arm.
Aisen: Hmm, wait a moment, I need to leave some marks here. It will be more convenient when we come back later.
A smile appeared on his face, and Aisen, taking Hermione, flashed and appeared on a huge meteorite.
Stepping onto the meteorite's surface, as Aisen's thoughts turned, the uneven pits and holes beneath his feet quickly melted like flowing water, then transformed into a smooth and flat platform.
Subsequently, a brilliant golden stream of light emerged from Aisen, pouring onto this flat platform like a water curtain, and then turning into imprints branded upon it.
In an instant, the platform beneath their feet was carved with a magnificent circular pattern.
After that, the meteorite with the mark left on it continued to float quietly in the desolate universe, just as before.
Aisen: Let's go!
Having finished these actions, with a shift in thought, Aisen activated the spatial traversal characteristic within his body. Subsequently, spatial power surged within him.
He didn't know if it was because the spatial traversal characteristic was extracted and replicated from a Portkey, but after this characteristic stirred up spatial power, Aisen felt a pulling force surge from his abdomen, and then the two directly stepped into a "spatial channel".
The scene in their eyes rapidly changed, transforming from endless darkness and emptiness to a colorful landscape, and then a light flashed. When their figures reappeared, they were already on the stone platform within Jupiter's atmosphere.
After arriving at Jupiter, Aisen once again felt the immense magic contained within this gas giant. At this moment, he no longer had the thought of claiming it for himself.
Without stopping, Aisen, taking Hermione, flashed and disappeared.
...
A minute later, the two had returned to Earth and arrived at Aisen's dormitory in Zhengyi School.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Faint fluorescent light hung from the ceiling, illuminating the room and casting their shadows on the floor.
"Professor, we're back?" Looking around at the surroundings, Hermione's mood was still a bit unsettled as she spoke.
"Yes, we're back." Aisen nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down. "How was the trip to space this time?"
"It was a bit different from what I imagined!" Hermionesat on another chair and said slowly after thinking for a while.
"Oh, how was it different?" Aisen's mouth curved slightly upwards.
"I always thought space was very mysterious and exploring space was a very interesting thing!" Hermionereached out and smoothed her hair, a look of longing appearing on her face.
"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken, most people would have this thought." Aisen nodded, affirming Hermione's idea.
In fact, that was true.
In his previous life, Aisen had thought that if he lived in a world with more advanced future technology, he would definitely choose to pilot a spaceship and explore the universe.
That feeling of freedom must be wonderful.
"But this time, going out with Professor, just getting to the edge of the Solar System, I felt it was a bit too oppressive." Hermione said, a strange look appearing on her face.
"Oppressive?" A thoughtful expression appeared on Aisen's face.
"Yes, although the boundless universe is indeed mysterious and captivating, when you are actually in space, you feel it is—far too vast. Being alone in outer space, completely surrounded by cold darkness, that sense of loneliness is too intense." Hermione said seriously.
"Hmm—what you said is true! For an ordinary person to fall into such a state of loneliness, it would indeed be a disaster!" After a brief thought, Aisen understood Hermione's meaning.
In fact, let alone outer space, even if there was suddenly only one person left on Earth, that kind of loneliness would drive someone crazy. And in outer space, that cold, lonely despair, probably very few people could endure it.
"If I weren't with Professor, I wouldn't have been able to stand it!" As Hermione spoke, her gaze fell on Aisen, her eyes full of emotion.
"What do you think about flying and exploring outer space in a spaceship?" Aisen had a thought, recalling their experience of traveling through the starry sky in a spaceship in the Dream World.
"Huh? Why didn't I feel that strong sense of loneliness when riding in a spaceship?" Seeming to recall past experiences, a look of surprise appeared on Hermione's face.
"It should be the impact of environmental changes on the psyche!" Aisen mused, speaking slowly. "It's like camping in the wilderness and sleeping directly in the open field is never as comfortable as staying in a house."
"Is it because of a sense of security?" Hermione showed a look of understanding.
"I think that's probably it." Aisen nodded. "Flying in outer space in a spaceship, although not as convenient as our free flight, seems to give a sense of psychological security.
Moreover, on a spaceship, attention is focused on various entertainment facilities or other aspects. This prevents people from constantly observing the unchanging cosmic environment, thus reducing the feeling of loneliness."
"Then, Professor, next time we go to space, should we ride a spaceship?" Hermione looked at Aisen with interest, her eyes showing anticipation.
"Cough, cough, a spaceship isn't a toy. Where would I find a spaceship!" Aisen looked at Hermione, a smile appearing on his face.
"Professor, can't you build a spaceship now?" Hermionewidened her eyes, looking at Aisen as if his inability to build a spaceship was something incomprehensible.
"Build a spaceship?" Hearing Hermione's words, Aisenwas about to shake his head with a chuckle. But then he thought of something, paused, and began to ponder.
Yes, just as he was about to shake his head, he had a change of thought and realized that this didn't seem to be something entirely impossible to achieve.
For ordinary people, building a spaceship has many difficulties. For example, difficulties with energy and fuel, difficulties in building life support systems, and so on.
However, none of this was really a problem for Aisen.
For example, as for what means to use to get the spaceship into outer space, Aisen could actually solve this problem simply by using the Levitation Charm.
For another example, he could also store the completed spaceship in the Double Leaf Paradise and then release it in outer space.
Furthermore, the issue of the spaceship flying in outer space is also simple; he just needs to engrave some forces with "shockwave" properties that have a lasting effect on the ship.
For the spaceship's internal space, Aisen could also engrave runes for a gravity charm on the floor to simulate Earth's gravity environment.
In addition, although the life support system in the spaceship wouldn't be needed by Aisen and Hermione, who have Energy Absorption engraved, if necessary, he could also simulate it with magic.
As for building various entertainment facilities inside the ship, it was actually a very simple matter for Aisen.
Therefore, considering everything together, Aisen could indeed build a spaceship capable of interstellar flight.
"Can you do it?" Seeing Aisen thinking, Hermionesuddenly became very curious.
"Theoretically, there's no problem. We can give it a try!" After regaining his senses, Aisen smiled and nodded.
"Then I want to ride in a spaceship exactly like the one in the Dream World!" Hermione lifted her chin, her pretty face full of anticipation.
"Cough, cough, let's take it slow!" Aisen said with vague words, then changed the subject. "Let's go, how about we go build our 'Paradise' first?"
"Quick, quick!" Hearing Aisen's words, Hermione's eyes lit up, and she immediately became impatient.
Aisen smiled slightly, took Hermione's hand, and then with a flash, the two disappeared from the spot.
...
The space named "Double Leaf Paradise" by Hermione, although not insignificant compared to the vast and boundless universe, was still large enough to be called "vast" for the two of them.
At this moment, compared to before, this space not only had many Ancient Runes scattered everywhere emitting light, but also many giant meteorites ranging from tens to hundreds of meters in diameter.
"Professor, are you going to piece them all together?" Hermione stood beside Aisen, clouds swirling around their feet, and asked, looking at the meteorites scattered in this space.
"Piecing? It should be breaking them apart and reorganizing them!" Aisen extended his finger and lightly traced in front of him.
As Aisen moved, the giant meteorites scattered everywhere rapidly converged towards the center as if summoned. Then, at a certain moment, those giant meteorites shattered into dust according to Aisen's will.
Immediately after, the dust quickly gathered and condensed into a circular continent.
For Aisen, it was not difficult for tens of thousands of giant meteorites to turn into dust while converging towards the center and then be reorganized.
After thoroughly studying the book of abraham, Aisenlearned the method of material reorganization within Alchemy. With the Laplace's Demon System, performing this method was even easier.
"Professor, is this enough?" Looking at the sight of meteorites turning into land before her eyes, Hermione's eyes immediately lit up.
At this moment, this continent floating in the air was suspended in the exact center of Double Leaf Paradise.
"Almost, but it needs a little adjustment!" Aisen said, leading Hermione to land on this large landmass.
The moment he stepped onto the ground, Aisencontinued to move his fingers, outlining Ancient Runesthat emitted a faint glow. Then, the Ancient Runes quickly gathered and combined, circulating with dazzling light.
Runes dripped from his fingers and drilled into the ground beneath their feet.
It was as if Aisen was engraving some kind of rule into the land. As time passed, the entire continent slowly began to exude a sense of "indestructibility".
After a few minutes, Aisen paused and stopped his movements.
"Professor, what is this?" Hermione released Aisen's arm, bounced a few times on the spot, and showed a surprised expression.
"I used magic to fix this continent in place, and I've also modified the gravity environment to be the same as Earth," Aisen nodded.
"But, the ground is so hard, it seems like we can't plant flowers or vegetables?" Hermione squatted down, clenched her fist, and hammered it a few times, only to hear thudding sounds.
"Uh, you want to farm?" Aisen crossed his arms, rubbed his chin with one hand, and fell into thought.
"Of course, if we just build a house, it would be too boring," Hermione stood up and clapped her hands. "Well, I think besides building a garden for flowers and plants, we should also build a farm for farming."
"If that's the case, then we'll have to collect some soil suitable for farming!" Aisen's expression didn't change.
"Hmm—, Professor, what do you think about building a zoo?" Hermione continued to suggest.
"A zoo?" Hearing Hermione's words, Aisen's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"That's right, we can raise some magical creatures here! For example, Unicorns and Pegasus, etc. Professor, what do you think?" The more Hermione spoke, the more excited she became.
"Uh, I prefer some magical creatures that are beautiful!" Aisen hesitated for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.
"Of course, I feel the same way!" Hermione looked at Aisen and blinked.
"Then do you think this place is big enough?" Aisennodded. "What I mean is, is this continent spacious enough to accommodate the farm, zoo, and other places you mentioned?"
"Definitely enough!" Hermione looked around, as if she couldn't see the edge. "Professor, how big is this continent?"
"This continent alone is probably about the size of ten Londons!" With the Laplace's Demon System, Aiseneasily calculated the area of this land.
"It's so big!" Hermione said with a smile on her face. "Such a large place is certainly enough for us to use."
"Okay, we can slowly work on the garden and farm later. For now, let's build a house first!" Aisen nodded and then changed the subject.
"That's right, let's build a house first!" A blush appeared on Hermione's face. "I want to stay here until the end of the Christmas holiday!"
"So, what kind of house do you want to live in?" Aisen's mouth curved slightly. "A small wooden cabin, a Castle, or a villa?"
"This?" As if she thought of something, Hermionefrowned slightly, revealing a conflicted expression.
"Why? Is it hard to decide?" Aisen smiled.
"Professor, what do you think?" Hermione tilted her head. Seeing Aisen's smiling face, she immediately reacted and threw the question back at him.
"Hmm—, how about this, I'll build a wooden cabin here now, and you can stay here for now!" Aisen thought for a moment, and as he spoke, he directly threw out a few cards, which landed on the ground and transformed into a wooden cabin.
"Ah? Like this?" A hint of disappointment appeared on Hermione's face.
"What I mean is, aren't you going to be exploring around here for the entire Christmas holiday? This way, we can go and look at those luxurious villas or manors. Whichever one you like, we'll build it here, how about that?"
While Aisen was speaking, he waved his hand again, throwing a few cards into the wooden cabin, which turned into beds, bedding, and other items.
After Aisen finished speaking, he saw that the disappointment on Hermione's face had turned into surprise: "Great! Let's do as you say, Professor!"
"Well—, it's already past nine o'clock. How about you stay here tonight to adjust to the time difference, and tomorrow morning I'll take you out for a trip?" Aisenreached out and rubbed Hermione's head, smiling.
"Okay, Professor!" Hermione said, a hint of shyness appearing on her face, but then she seemed to think of something and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Professor, is the time calculation here also—"
"Yes, you're right. Although the gravity environment here is the same as on Earth, we need to make some changes to the day-night cycle, otherwise, the time calculation would be too vague," Aisen immediately understood what Hermione meant.
"Professor, how are you going to do it?" Hermione looked at Aisen curiously.
"Tsk tsk—, what do you think about simulating a sun and a moon?" A smile appeared on Aisen's face.
What? You're saying Aisen is just going to conjure a sun and a moon out of thin air? Logically speaking, with his current strength, combined with the idealistic nature of magic, it's not impossible. But it's actually completely unnecessary.
After all, he wasn't going to actually replicate a Solar System in Double Leaf Paradise. Therefore, merely simulating a sun and a moon that can show the day-night cycle is enough.
"Professor, how are you going to do it?" Hermioneshowed an expectant look.
Aisen smiled and said nothing, just extended his hand and made a sweeping motion. Then, he saw the Ancient Runes scattered throughout the entire space rapidly converging high in the air.
Every Ancient Rune emitted a faint glow. As countless Ancient Runes converged, the glow also converged, eventually turning into a dazzling and brilliant ball of light.
In an instant, two giant rune spheres converged high in the air.
One, like a sun, emitted brilliant golden light. At the same time, the converged Ancient Runes were slightly adjusted according to Aisen's will, making the golden light emitted by this rune sun carry a sense of heat.
After Aisen used the arrangement and combination of Ancient Runes to simulate the sun, he lowered it to the other end of the continent and then used magic to make it start orbiting this continent along a fixed trajectory.
At the same time, Aisen hung the other rune sphere, formed by converging Ancient Runes, in a corner of the continent, allowing it to emit brilliant silver light like moonlight.
Since there were no obstructions at all in the high sky, the pouring silver light directly covered the ground with a layer of silver sand. It looked exceptionally beautiful!
Similarly, after using magic to fix this simulated rune moon to orbit along a certain trajectory, Aisen stopped his movements.
"How does it feel?" Aisen looked at Hermione, showing a faint smile.
"It's too beautiful! Professor, are those runes formed by the combination of Ancient Runes?" Hermione, covered in a layer of silver sand, exuded a strange charm at this moment.
"That's right! Believe me, you'll be able to do it too in the future!" Aisen said, looking up at the full moon simulated by runes.
For a moment, the two fell silent!
