Chapter 50 - Ch: 386-390

Chapter 386: The Teleportation Charm for Free Entry and Exit!

After a long while, Hermione seemed to snap back to her senses. She looked at the moon overhead, then turned to Aisen and said, "Professor, isn't this light a bit too bright?"

"Does it feel dazzling?" Aisen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"No, it doesn't feel dazzling. It looks quite comfortable, but it's just a bit bright!" Hermione reached out to rub her hands together, speaking slowly as if trying to cup the moonlight.

"Bright?" Aisen pondered for a moment, then showed a thoughtful expression. "How about this?"

As he spoke, Aisen waved his hand, and clear water appeared around, then quickly expanded into a long river.

Afterward, lines of magical script were outlined by Aisenand scattered into this long river, emitting points of light.

Immediately following, this long river, under Aisen's command, quickly rose and turned into intertwined clouds and mist, drifting high above the entire continent.

Suddenly, large swathes of clouds and mist dispersed, turning into real clouds that drifted around.

The silver light emitted by the simulated rune moon shone through the clouds and mist, as if filtered by a thin veil, reducing some of the brightness and adding a sense of haziness.

Visually, it clearly had more Charm.

"This is much better!" Hermione said with a smiling expression.

"This way, the rune sun formed by the combination of those magical scripts won't be too dazzling when it rises tomorrow morning!" Aisen nodded. "Go on, see you tomorrow!"

"Goodbye, Professor!" Hermione waved at Aisen and skipped into the small wooden house nearby.

Seeing this, Aisen nodded slightly, then a flash of his body and he disappeared from the spot.

...

The next morning, Aisen was directly "woken up" by a message Hermione left him through the Chat Group. A quick look revealed what had happened.

Aisen, who didn't need to sleep in the first place, immediately became alert and then directly released Hermione from the Double-Leaf Paradise Space.

"Professor—" As soon as she came out, Hermione looked at Aisen with a resentful expression, as if he had committed some heinous crime.

"Alright, alright, it's also my fault for not thinking of this." Aisen gave an awkward smile. "Hmm—, how about this, I'll engrave a teleportation array in the Double Leaf Paradise, and then you can enter and exit freely."

"Can you do that?" Hermione, who had seemed not to care much initially, immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Hmm, let me think!" Aisen pondered for a while and continued, "There shouldn't be a problem, you sit here and wait for a bit!"

While Hermione sat on the chair, looking at Aisen with expectant eyes, he had already issued the command to the Laplace's Demon System to create a teleportation Charm.

The Apparition Charm, Apparition Without A Trace, Portkeys, the Space Travel characteristic, the Storage Space characteristic, and so on, all Charms involving spatial power, were dismantled one by one by the Laplace's Demon System.

From the most basic magical script, then to the combination and arrangement of magical scripts, and then to the application of runes.

In an instant, countless magical scripts related to space were extracted.

Immediately following, the Laplace's Demon System, according to Aisen's command, added the power of contract and began attempting various combination methods.

Subsequently, countless magical scripts, based on the power of contract, began to arrange and combine. Magical scripts connected end to end and were embedded within, but then disconnected and replaced with another magical script.

Time slowly flowed by—

Yes, the teleportation Charm Aisen was going to create, because it involved the space integrated into his body, privacy was naturally of utmost importance.

Therefore, the teleportation Charm to be developed couldn't be such that any Witch who learned this Charmcould teleport to the Double Leaf Paradise whenever they wanted.

He added the power of contract for this reason.

In other words, only those who had formed a contract with Aisen could be teleported to the Double Leaf Paradise through the teleportation Charm. Clearly, he was currently creating this Charm specifically for Hermione.

Hermione waited quietly without speaking, and Aisenalso focused most of his attention.

In the past, it might have taken Aisen several months or even several years to create a completely new teleportation Charm. He might even have needed to consult Dumbledore and others to succeed.

Just like when he created the Apparition Without A Trace.

But now, with the Laplace's Demon System, his speed of developing and researching new Charms was countless times faster. Even if he encountered any problems, he could find various Charms in the database and borrow from their principles or inspiration.

Alternatively, the Laplace's Demon System could also view various books and materials from the memory palace in the Dream World through the connection of the power of contract.

Therefore, in just a few minutes, a completely new Charmhad been created.

"Professor, have you thought of it?" Seeing a smile on Aisen's face, Hermione showed a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"That's right, wait for me a moment, I'm going to the Double Leaf Paradise!" Aisen nodded, told Hermione, and then disappeared directly.

Inside the Paradise, next to the wooden house in the center of the continent, Aisen's figure appeared.

Then, without any hesitation, he directly outlined lines of magical script on his fingertips.

As Aisen moved, lines of magical script could be seen emitting a golden glow, spinning and dancing on his fingertips. The magical scripts were like elves, appearing and combining with other magical scripts, then trembling slightly.

As if attracting the power of space, the combined runes trembled, creating ripples that even twisted the space.

This state looked potentially dangerous, but it was actually all within Aisen's expectations.

Clusters of golden light constantly flashed and then gathered.

Gradually, the golden light on Aisen's fingers became more and more dazzling. At a certain moment, when this golden light reached its peak, it suddenly spread out.

Then, the golden runes circling and trembling on Aisen's fingers, as if accumulating infinite power, poured down from his fingertips. Like water flowing down from a cliff, they dripped onto the ground.

Silently, those runes seeped into the ground, quickly staining the earth with a layer of golden marks.

One minute later, Aisen stopped his hand movements. Clearly, he had inscribed the teleportation Charm onto the ground, turning it into a teleportation array.

Afterward, Aisen's figure flashed and appeared before Hermione outside.

"Professor, did you succeed?" Seeing Aisen appear, Hermione immediately stood up and asked.

"Wait, just a little more!" As Aisen spoke, his thoughts turned, and he summoned the book of aisen.

Flipping to a blank page near the back, Aisen gently flicked his finger, outlining lines of magical script, and then arranging them in a special way.

The power of contract spread across the blank page, imprinted in a strange pattern on the edge. Immediately after, the newly developed teleportation Charm was inscribed onto the book of aisen.

After doing all this, Aisen closed the book of aisen and put it away. Immediately after, with a thought, Aisenopened the Chat Group interface, flipped to the skill bar, and saw the new skill "Teleportation Charm" on it.

Seeing this scene, Aisen immediately smiled. "Hermione, check the skill bar, is there a Teleportation Charm in there? Try it!"

"It really is a new Charm?" At Aisen's suggestion, Hermione opened the Chat Group interface, flipped to the skill bar, and upon discovering the new Charm, immediately showed a look of surprise.

Before Aisen could say anything, Hermione's figure flashed and instantly disappeared from his sight.

Seeing this, Aisen sensed the Double-Leaf Paradise Space, and with a shift of his gaze, he saw Hermionestanding next to a wooden house in the center of the continent.

At this moment, Hermione was standing not far from the wooden house. On the ground beneath her feet was inscribed a dazzling golden halo.

The outermost layer of the golden halo was a circle woven with solid and dashed lines, the middle layer was a neat arrangement of Bagua patterns composed of Yin and Yang lines, and the inner layer was the Yin-Yang Two Forms pattern.

The entire golden halo looked to be about three zhang in diameter, inscribed on the ground and rotating endlessly, giving a mysterious and dazzling feeling through the Two Forms and Bagua within it.

Cough, cough, alright, actually Aisen just inscribed the runes of the teleportation Charm there.

The reason for making it so flashy was just to borrow from the common character halo buffs seen in games in his previous life. After all, it looked cool enough this way.

Didn't Hermione, who had just teleported in, stand there staring blankly at the halo beneath her feet!

Clearly, she was also captivated.

Seeing this, Aisen was about to enter the Double Leaf Paradise.

However, before acting, as if thinking of something, his eyes lit up, and then he directly cast the newly created Apparition Charm.

As a result, the scenery before Aisen's eyes changed, and his figure instantly disappeared from the spot. When he reappeared, he had already arrived within Double Leaf Paradise.

"Hermione, how do you feel?" Looking at the continuously flowing golden halo beneath his feet, Aisen gently patted Hermione's shoulder.

"Professor, I really came in!" Hermione was like waking from a dream, as if she thought of something, a blush appeared on her fair face.

"Of course, no matter where you are, you can enter here through the Apparition Charm! After all, this is our—home, isn't it?" Aisen looked at Hermione with a half-smile on his face.

"Professor~" Hermione showed a shy expression, but then as if thinking of something, she quickly asked, "Is it the same for leaving?"

"Of course you can leave anytime, otherwise, wouldn't I be trapping you here!" Aisen shrugged his shoulders.

"What about the location for leaving?" A strange light flickered in Hermione's eyes.

"This Apparition Charm is bidirectional, so wherever you came in from, stand within this halo, and when you use the Apparition Charm again, it will send you back to your original location. Come, give it a try!" Aisen pointed to the halo beneath his feet.

After speaking, Aisen very decisively cast an Apparition Charm, then his figure directly disappeared from within the halo and arrived inside the outside dormitory.

Before he could sit down, he saw a figure flash, and Hermione also came out from Double Leaf Paradise.

"How is it? Was I right!" Seeing Hermione's eager expression, Aisen gestured with his hand, "You can try a few more times!"

After sitting down, Aisen saw Hermione excitedly begin to act.

He saw her figure suddenly flash and disappear in front of Aisen, and a moment later, her figure reappeared on the spot.

After going back and forth several times, Hermionestopped her attempts, and when she looked at Aisen, the admiration in her eyes had turned into twinkling little stars: "Professor, can this Apparition Charm allow me to Apparate from Hogwarts School to Double Leaf Paradise?"

"That's right, not just at Hogwarts, even in outer space, you can return to Double Leaf Paradise anytime, anywhere through the Apparition Charm!" Aisen said with a smile.

"Professor, do you mean you want me to travel in space alone?" Hermione looked at Aisen, as if she thought of something, she directly rolled her eyes.

"Of course, that's not what I mean!" Aisen shook his head helplessly, "What I mean is, no matter how far apart we are, you can return to Double Leaf Paradise through the Apparition Charm.

Moreover, didn't you want to build a garden and a ranch? You can take some things you like inside..."

"That's really great!" Hermione's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Let's go, Professor, let's first look around to see if there are any beautiful houses, and then replace the small wooden house in the paradise with a large manor!"

Speaking of this matter, Hermione seemed a bit impatient.

"Hmm—wait, I need to put some things away and put them into Double Leaf Paradise!" Aisen stood up, pondered for a moment, then directly within the paradise, on the other side of the wooden house, he transformed a huge warehouse out of cards.

Immediately after, Aisen then took out all the items on him from his storage ring and put them inside.

Of course, because the space was large enough, Aisendisplayed all the items separately on shelves, which was also not a problem at all.

"Professor, is this space you opened up on your body just for storing things?" An expression of understanding appeared on Hermione's face, and then she moved closer to Aisen, "Can the things on me also be put in?"

"Hmm, putting them in isn't a problem, you can transmit things into Double Leaf Paradise through the Apparition Charm. But if you want to take them out, you have to come in and get them yourself!" Aisen stroked his chin, thought for a while and slowly said.

"This—isn't it a bit troublesome?" Hermione looked cautious, as if she was afraid Aisen would get angry.

"Go in, get the things, and then come out, it won't take much time, right!" Aisen continued to think, "However, this process is indeed a bit complicated! Hmm, let me think about it again—"

Hermione waited quietly, while Aisen was thinking about what kind of solution there was.

As a personal space integrated into Aisen's body, although he couldn't directly control this space like he controlled the Dream World, simple retrieval of items and simple manipulation were still possible.

After all, this space existed relying on Aisen's body.

However, Hermione wouldn't be able to retrieve items anytime, anywhere.

Previously, the teleportation array Aisen had inscribed within the paradise could only allow Hermione to enter and exit Double Leaf Paradise using the Apparition Charm in her skill bar.

This means that if Hermione herself held an item, it could be transmitted into Double Leaf Paradise along with her. Similarly, if she stood within the teleportation array holding an item, it could also be transmitted out along with her.

But if Hermione herself didn't enter Double Leaf Paradise, but instead used the Apparition Charm to transmit an item into Double Leaf Paradise, this could be done, but retrieving the item transmitted into Double Leaf Paradise wouldn't be possible.

Unless Hermione herself entered Double Leaf Paradiseagain, got the item, and then transmitted out together.

Clearly, compared to Aisen, for Hermione to complete the action of retrieving items anytime, anywhere, there was an extra step of her entire person entering Double Leaf Paradise, then getting the item and leaving.

In other words, now Aisen needed to figure out a way to help Hermione remove this process!

So, how should he do it?

Speaking of which, when an item is transmitted into Double Leaf Paradise, it is directly transmitted within the range of the teleportation array. Does that mean only items within a three-zhang radius can be transmitted in?

No, that's not right, the teleportation array inscribed within Double Leaf Paradise only serves as a coordinate for transmission, and has nothing to do with size.

But after items are transmitted in, the place where they stay won't change. This means that when continuously transmitting items in, multiple items will pile up together?

Hmm, that's a problem. But if he casts a spell to cover the area of the teleportation array, then when Hermioneretrieves items, the items transmitted into Double Leaf Paradise should be able to be moved!

"Professor, have you thought of it yet?" Hermionewhispered in a low voice, as if worried about disturbing Aisen.

Aisen glanced at Hermione, shook his head with a smile, just as he was about to say something, he looked at Hermione again, and his eyes lit up: "Wait a moment, I already have an idea."

Looking at Hermione, Aisen thought of the Chat Group, and then following his previous thoughts, he suddenly had an inspiration.

For example, since he had already added a skill bar to the Chat Group, then adding an item bar again would also be a reasonable thing, right.

As for how to add an item bar, Aisen already had a bit of an idea.

For example, he could, in a certain location above the continent within Double Leaf Paradise, use runes combined into the shape of threads to divide a space, and then similarly divide this space into areas of various sizes using rune threads to be used as the item slots corresponding to the item bar.

When Hermione puts an item into an item slot in the item bar, it is actually transmitted into Double Leaf Paradise by borrowing the ability of the Apparition Charm. Then, the item that appears within the teleportation array is then transmitted to the corresponding spatial area.

When she wants to take an item from an item slot in the item bar, from the spatial area divided by Aisen, a certain item will automatically be transmitted into the teleportation array, and then transmitted into Hermione's hand.

Wait—isn't this a bit complicated?

Since it's just the transmission of items, then why not just skip the teleportation array channel, and directly anchor a teleportation array in the space used as item slots somewhere high in the sky, that should also be possible, right!

Thinking of this, Aisen immediately nodded.

"Professor, have you thought of it?" Seeing Aisen nod, a hint of joy also appeared on Hermione's face.

"I've thought of it, I can cast a spell to make some changes now." Aisen raised an eyebrow at Hermione.

Chapter 387: Pleasant Holiday

After having the idea, Aisen began to implement it.

He first added the item bar function to the Chat Group, then entered Double Leaf Paradise. At a height of ten thousand meters above the continent, he used runes to connect and combine threads, dividing a large space to serve as Hermione's warehouse.

To meet Hermione's needs, he specifically divided 1000 spaces of one cubic meter each, as well as 10 spaces of one thousand cubic meters each and 10 spaces of one million cubic meters each.

Clearly, the 1000 spaces of one cubic meter correspond to the 1000 item slots on the first page of the item bar. The 10 spaces of one thousand cubic meters correspond to the 10 large item slots on the second page of the item bar.

Similarly, the 10 spaces of one million cubic meters correspond to the 10 extra-large item slots on the third page of the item bar.

After completing these two tasks, Aisen linked the space divided within Double Leaf Paradise to the item bar of the Chat Group.

The method of linking was simple enough, merely the use of a teleportation Charm.

For example, Aisen embedded a teleportation array within the range of Hermione's warehouse.

When Hermione intends to collect an item and explicitly wants to "put" it into a specific item slot (which is essentially using a teleportation Charm to transport the item into Double Leaf Paradise), the item will automatically be transported into Hermione's warehouse, appearing in a certain area.

And when Hermione herself is holding an item and wants to enter Double Leaf Paradise, she will emerge from the teleportation array next to the wooden house.

Just as Aisen had thought before, there's no need for the hassle of transporting the item to the teleportation array next to the wooden house and then transporting it to Hermione's warehouse high in the sky; they are directly separated.

After finishing all of this, Aisen left Double Leaf Paradiseand returned to the real world.

"It's done, you can try it now!" Seeing Hermione quietly waiting for him, Aisen said with a smile.

"It's ready?" Hermione's face showed anticipation. She immediately looked around, then picked up a cup from the table.

Under Aisen's gaze, Hermione was seen holding the cup and tucking it into a certain spot in front of her. Immediately after, the cup in Hermione's hand vanished into thin air, as if it had been tucked into the item bar.

Aisen shifted his gaze, looking through Double Leaf Paradise to Hermione's warehouse, where he saw the cup quietly placed in one of the one-cubic-meter spaces.

"It really went in?" Hermione's face showed surprise. Then she reached out and retrieved the cup, "I got it out again!"

Similarly, shifting one's gaze to Hermione's warehouse, one would find that the cup placed in the corresponding space had disappeared.

As if she had found a fun game, Hermione put the cup into the item bar and then took it out again. After playing back and forth several times, she reluctantly put the cup back on the table.

"Professor, can I put all my things in?" Hermione blinked, thinking. She seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Aisen.

"Of course. I know you like reading and have many books to carry with you. You can absolutely put them in," Aisennodded. "Oh, and aren't you going to live inside? It's fine to put all your clothes, luggage, and various other items in as well."

"That's great!" Hermione said, while taking out all sorts of items from her storage ring and then using the item bar to tuck them into her warehouse.

Watching Hermione stack book after book and tuck them into the warehouse, Aisen shifted his gaze and saw the titles on them, his mouth twitching involuntarily.

The book covers faintly read the words "Breaking Up with a Female Ghost."

This...

Alright, although Lockhart is a thief who steals others' memories, the experiences in this book are real and not false. This means the content inside isn't useless.

Therefore, it is quite reasonable for Hermione to carry these books with her.

"Okay, everything's packed!" Hermione tucked her wand into the warehouse.

Wand? Seeing Hermione's action, Aisen's heart stirred, and he took out a rectangular box from his own warehouse.

"Professor, is there a wand inside?" Seeing Aisen's action, Hermione stepped forward and asked.

Clearly, Hermione had seen many boxes of this shape at Ollivander's Wand Shop, so her guess was very accurate.

"That's right. We're traveling here, and it would be a bit too conspicuous if we had to use our wands for anything," Aisen opened the box and took out what was inside. "You can use this for the next period of time!"

"Are wands here like this?" Hermione took the Golden Cudgel-style wand and held it, playing with it.

Looking at Hermione holding the Golden Cudgel, for some reason, Aisen always felt a strange sense of incongruity. After putting the box back into his warehouse, Aisen took out another box and also took out a Golden Cudgel-style wand from it, holding it in his hand.

Looking at them like this, both of them holding a thin Golden Cudgel, it was quite strange.

"Do you feel anything different?" Aisen rubbed the wand in his hand, then looked at Hermione.

"It feels like it's even more powerful than my original wand!" Hermione held the wand and felt it carefully, then a look of shock appeared on her face. "This wand is better than the wands at Ollivander's Wand Shop? I feel like my magic is even more active."

"On the surface, that seems to be the case, but in reality, it might be a little different from what you think!" Hearing Hermione's words, a strange look appeared on Aisen's face.

Before he bought these Golden Cudgel-style wands, he had checked them carefully.

At the time, he hadn't thought in this direction, so he didn't pay attention. Later, he felt that the perfect-grade casting characteristics contained in these wands were somewhat astonishing, so he checked them again carefully.

As a result, he found that although these wands seemed fine on the surface, just like real wands, in reality, this stuff is more like a disposable item.

Hmm, that's not exactly accurate.

To be precise, the few Golden Cudgel-style wands Aisenbought, or more simply, all the wands in the Flower Fruit Mountain Wand Shop, are a type of "emergency" wand.

After discovering the problem, Aisen even took some time to ask Zou Zunian why the wands sold in the Flower Fruit Mountain Wand Shop were relatively powerful.

Then, after Zou Zunian's explanation, Aisen finally understood what was going on.

Speaking of which, this kind of "emergency" wand isn't truly a disposable wand, it's not that it becomes useless after casting a Charm. Rather, it means that within a certain period of time, using such a wand to cast a Charmis fine.

For example, within a month, casting a Charm with a Golden Cudgel-style wand can exert more power than a regular wand. After a month, when casting a Charm with the Golden Cudgel-style wand, its effect might only be half of what it was before.

And after a year, this Golden Cudgel-style wand might turn into an ordinary wooden stick, basically completely Waste.

As for the reason, Zou Zunian told him that it seemed to be due to the wand-making technique of the Flower Fruit Mountain Wand Shop. It's as if the potential of the wand has been completely squeezed out and overdrawn.

Because of this, buying a wand at the Flower Fruit Mountain Wand Shop is not like at Ollivander's Wand Shop, where they ask which hand you're used to using, measure the length of your arm, and so on.

At the Flower Fruit Mountain Wand Shop, as long as a Witch goes in and pays, they can buy a Golden Cudgel-style wand. And after buying it, it will be very easy to use, with no talk of it being unsuitable.

Of course, some people might say. If that's the case, wouldn't it be awesome to just buy thousands of wands!

Because they are very easy to use, and the power of the Charm will also be greater. After a month, just switch to another wand and continue using it.

This way, wouldn't using them for decades be no problem at all?

In reality, while that is true, frequently changing wands is indeed a bit inappropriate.

After all, as Ollivander's Wand Shop says when selling wands, it's not just the Witch choosing the wand, the wand is also choosing the Witch.

If one can truly possess a wand with "plenty of spirituality," it will always be more suitable to use. Because a wand that truly belongs to a Witch is the most helpful for the Witch's control over her own magic.

"Professor, do you mean this wand can only be used for a month?" Hermione said, pointing the end of the Golden Cudgel-style wand towards the entire room: "Sweeping Whirlwind!"

Subsequently, Aisen saw a tornado the size of a washbasin quickly circle the dormitory, from the ground, to the surrounding walls, then to the ceiling, and then flew out the window.

"That's right! About a month after you cast your first Charm with it, it won't be as easy to use." Aisen nodded. "However, its appearance is quite suitable for disguise!"

"Disguise?" Hermione looked at the Wand in her hand, then showed a look of realization. "That's right, holding it in my hand, no one would think it's a Wand!"

"Uh, that might be true in England, but here, it's probably just a disguise for Muggle!" Aisen shrugged.

"Professor means that Muggle all know what this Wand looks like?" Hermione showed a thoughtful expression.

"That's right!" Aisen said unhurriedly. "It's the weapon of a well-known hero figure in the myths and legends here!"

"Okay, I understand!" Hermione nodded.

...

On the street, crowds surged, traffic flowed endlessly, and on both sides of the street, buildings stood tall, bustling and lively.

This is a famous commercial district in Kowloon, where world-renowned brands and countless international big names gather, showing its high degree of commercial prosperity, large flow of people, and dense traffic.

But even in such a commercial district, there are some corners that are not so noticeable.

"How does it taste?" Looking at Hermione's mouth full of oil from eating, Aisen couldn't help but laugh.

After building Hermione's warehouse in Double Leaf Paradise and giving her the Golden Cudgel-style Wand, Aisen took Hermione here to play.

They played while eating and drinking, and in their leisure time, they would also wander around, looking at the luxurious houses and manors in the rich areas. When Hermione felt satisfied, they would directly replace the wooden house in Double Leaf Paradise.

"It's too delicious!" Hermione used one hand to fork up the grilled sausage dipped in special brine, and the other hand to catch it below for fear of it falling to the ground. After eating it, she couldn't help but exclaim, "I never knew these things were so delicious before!"

"Let's go, we'll go to the next place!" Aisen smiled, and after Hermione finished eating, he took her to a dessert snack shop.

"Professor, what is this, cake?" Hermione excitedly pointed to the golden-yellow small cakes in the snack shop and asked.

"Do you want to try it? It looks like it's made with eggs!" Aisen glanced at it and knew that this thing was indeed a cake made with eggs.

After paying for and buying some cakes, Aisen and Hermione tasted them directly.

"Hmm—, it has chocolate, it's chocolate-flavored egg cake, it's too delicious!" Hermione's eyes lit up immediately after taking a big bite, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Really? Then you can eat to your heart's content!" Aisenswallowed the egg cake in two or three bites, then winked at Hermione.

"But, if I eat like this, won't I get fat?" As if she had thought of something, Hermione looked at the half-eaten egg cake in her hand, her face showing a look of hesitation.

"Of course not!" Aisen looked Hermione up and down, seeing her slim and well-proportioned figure, and smiled as he shook his head.

"Won't—oh!" Hermione was startled when she heard what Aisen said, and then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes widened: "Energy Absorption!"

"That's right!" Aisen gave Hermione a meaningful look. "I told you before that with it, you won't have any problems even if you don't eat or drink from now on. Conversely, no matter how much delicious food you want to taste, it will be 'digested'!"

"So, I won't be able to feel full in the future either?" Hermione tilted her head and thought for a moment, but raised a rather unique question.

"Uh, rather than saying you won't be able to feel full in the future, it's better to say you won't feel hungry anymore." Aisen pointed to the egg cake in Hermione's hand.

"Oh! Anyway, I can eat whenever I want, right?" Hermionethought for a moment and opened her mouth to stuff the remaining half of the egg cake in her hand into her mouth.

"That's right, there are too many delicious foods here!" Aisen pulled Hermione and continued to walk to the next stall. "You can completely let go and have a good taste!"

"Uh, it really doesn't feel like I'm stuffed!" Hermionetouched her belly, and then, as if she had thought of something, a smile spread across her face.

"Boss, two fried chicken legs!" Aisen came to a stall, paid, and picked two fried chicken legs that looked good.

Eating the fried chicken legs in big bites, the crispy and rich taste bloomed in his mouth, and immediately, a strong sense of satisfaction filled his heart.

When the two of them had completely swallowed the fried chicken legs, Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Aisen with anticipation: "Professor, the food here is too delicious, what should I do if I want to eat it again in the future?"

"Emmm, maybe we can make it ourselves!" Aisen thought for a moment and proposed a solution.

"Can Professor make it?" Hermione's eyes immediately lit up.

"This is not a difficult thing. Besides, you forgot—" Aisenleaned into Hermione's ear and whispered, "We have magic!"

"That's right! That's it!" Hermione nodded with satisfaction.

Walking through a street, the pedestrians on the road gradually thinned out. Aisen looked into the distance and found that if he continued along this road, he would go up a slope, which seemed to lead to the top of the mountain.

Over the next week, the two of them played from Kowloon to the New Territories, enjoying themselves to the fullest with eating, drinking, and playing.

However, although it was said that Aisen was taking Hermione out to play, it was actually more like Aisen was letting Hermione wander around freely.

These days, Hermione went wherever she wanted, eating and drinking along the way, occasionally going to the cinema to watch movies. From time to time, she would also play video games with Aisen.

Of course, during this period, the two of them did not forget the most important task, which was to visit the luxurious villas in the rich areas, or go to the most luxurious suites in five-star hotels.

After two days of observation, Hermione finally encountered a dilemma in choosing. There was nothing she could do, she felt very satisfied with both the manor and the villa.

In the end, there was no other way. After discussing with Aisen, she decided to build a "new home" in Double Leaf Paradise using a combination of a manor and a villa.

Uh, actually, saying it's a new home is just replacing the original small wooden house.

Aisen originally thought that if Hermione wanted to build a new home, embedding the villa in the manor, it would definitely be as luxurious as possible. For this purpose, he even made a special trip to Suzhou to replicate the scenery of several large gardens in the Dream World for Hermione to see.

As a result, Hermione said that these gardens were indeed very beautiful and comfortable to stay in.

But for use as a residence, or a "new home", her meaning was that a spacious and comfortable room that could accommodate two people would be enough.

Or it could be said that Hermione's meaning was to replicate some gardens and manors in Double Leaf Paradise, which could be used as pastures or gardens, and the "new home" villa would simply be dotted within them.

...

"Hermione, Merry Christmas!" Looking at Hermione with a green flower wreath on her head, Aisen's face was full of smiles. "How do you feel?"

"It's so beautiful, I love it here!" Looking at everything in front of her, Hermione's eyes sparkled with brilliance. "And, Merry Christmas to you too."

The two of them were currently in Double Leaf Paradise, but the scene in front of them was completely different from before.

The original small wooden house was gone, replaced by a two-story villa covering an area of about four hundred square meters. The exterior walls of the villa were generally white, but were covered with a large amount of green vines, on which a large number of pink flowers bloomed.

In front of the villa's main gate was a lawn that undulated like waves, with a few sparse trees growing not far away. Behind the villa was a bamboo forest. There were rockeries piled up in the forest, and spring water flowed from the rockeries, winding its way from the bamboo forest to the distance.

Not far to the left of the villa was a teleportation array halo shining with brilliant golden light. Further away were large blocks of ice piled up. Not far to the right of the villa was Aisen's warehouse for storing items, and further away was a constantly flowing river.

At the moment, in addition to these changes in Double Leaf Paradise, there were also tall Christmas trees around the villa, covered with glittering snowflakes.

The Christmas trees were adorned with round beads shining with various colors, like stars, constantly twinkling!

Chapter 388: Dinner Conversation

After greeting Hermione, Aisen pushed the door open and brought out some roasted chicken, egg tarts, and pumpkin pie that he had prepared earlier. At the same time, he also prepared some milk tea, juice, and mushroom soup, etc.

After bringing the food out of the villa, he placed it on a temporary four-legged round table set up on the lawn outside.

Then, beside the four-legged round table, several clumps of flowers and plants suddenly grew from the lawn, quickly rising and growing, and then transformed into two chairs woven from vines and branches.

To recreate the atmosphere of the Christmas dinner as much as possible, Aisen also deliberately cast spells around the nearby Christmas tree, reproducing many glowing lights.

With a thought, the aura around Aisen and Hermionebegan to circulate, transforming into wisps of breeze that brushed past them. Streaks of crimson threads, like brilliant ribbons, danced and swayed with the wind, adding a touch of mystery to the quiet night.

"Professor, is this considered our Christmas dinner?" Hermione lowered herself, sitting on the chair woven from green vines, with a faint smile on her face.

"Well, although it can't compare to Hogwarts' Christmasdinner, a little sense of ceremony is still necessary!" Aisensat on the other chair woven from vines, picked up the cup on the table, and gestured towards Hermione.

"Oh, right, Professor, this is the Christmas gift I prepared for you!" As if remembering something, Hermione put the cup in her hand on the table while speaking, and then pulled out a—tie? from her collar?

"A tie?" Aisen looked at Hermione in surprise.

"Haven't we been shopping here for several days? I think this kind of gift is very suitable. Professor, you don't like it?" Hermione looked at Aisen, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Uh, it's not that I don't like it! It's just, for a tie, do I need to wear it with formal wear or a suit?" Aisen thought for a moment, reached out and tapped his clothes, changing them into a suit style, and then he put on the tie Hermione gave him.

"I think it looks great!" Looking at Aisen's attire, a blush spread across Hermione's face.

"Hmm, that's not bad!" Aisen nodded, and then as if remembering something, he smiled and looked at Hermione, taking out a book from his pocket and handing it over, "Here, for you!"

"Professor, is this my Christmas gift?" Hermione took the book from Aisen's hand, and the blush on her face seemed to deepen significantly.

"That's right, I told you a few days ago that that style of wand is the weapon of a certain heroic figure in myths and legends! This book, journey to the west, tells the story of this heroic figure!" Aisen tapped his finger on the table, and the roasted chicken seemed to be automatically cut apart by an invisible blade, floating into the plate in front of Hermione.

"But, Professor, I can't understand it!" Hermione took the plate, forked a piece and put it into her mouth, then looked at Aisen with an innocent expression.

"Hmm, alright, after the dinner is over, I'll just cast a spell for you!" Aisen frowned and then relaxed.

"Oh, right, Professor, we are having Christmas dinner here, what about Harry and them?" Putting the journey to the west aside on the table, Hermione took a sip of mushroom soup, and then as if remembering something, she asked with interest.

"Well, they're either doing homework or reading in the Library. I don't know exactly what they're doing!" Aisenate the chicken heartily, with a slight smile in his eyes.

"Professor, how are they doing with their studies at Zhengyi School?" When it came to studying, Hermioneseemed to get excited.

"Well, it's quite difficult for Harry and them." Aisen took a sip of grape juice, then put the cup down, "You probably know that when they first came here, they were following the fifth-grade curriculum. But the next day they were transferred to the first grade."

"Do they have to start learning from the first grade?" A hint of struggle appeared on Hermione's face.

"There's no other way, the curriculum content of Zhengyi School is very different from that of Hogwarts School." Aisen nodded, "Even if there are some similar or identical contents, they only account for a very small part of all courses."

"But if that's the case, Dumbledore and them shouldn't have partnered with Zhengyi School to launch the Hogwarts School exchange student program, right?" Hermione showed a thoughtful expression, "What I mean is, the exchange program between Hogwarts School and Zhengyi School might not bring any benefits to Hogwarts."

"This exchange student program is indeed an experimental activity!" Aisen shrugged his shoulders, "But my idea is just the opposite of yours!"

"You mean—" Hermione looked at Aisen, showing a hint of surprise.

"Initially, it's definitely very difficult for two schools with different languages, cultures, teaching methods, and other aspects to hold an exchange student program." Aisen said seriously, "Perhaps, as you said, it won't bring any benefits to Hogwarts. But if they persist, it's hard to say!"

"Professor, you mean to carry out the exchange student program with Zhengyi School every year from now on?" Hermione showed a thoughtful expression.

"Perhaps, it was indeed a very correct decision for Dumbledore to choose Zhengyi School as the exchange school." Aisen made such a conjecture.

"Then, Professor, what do you think about me applying for the exchange student program next year?" After coming back to her senses, Hermione asked directly.

"Uh—, I'm not against you applying to become an exchange student at Zhengyi School, but I think you might encounter some problems!" Aisen hesitated for a moment, then slowly began to speak.

"Encounter some problems?" A look of doubt appeared on Hermione's face.

"That's right, why do you think Harry, Hanna, and the others were transferred to the first grade?" Aisen changed the subject and brought up the problems encountered by Harry and the others.

"Because of cultural differences, they have language barriers here?" Hermione guessed.

"That's only part of the reason. You know, Dumbledoregave each of them a smart translation badge that allows them to understand Chinese." Aisen reached out and tapped the table.

"Then why is that?" Hermione tilted her head and then asked further.

"I said earlier that the curriculum content of Zhengyi School is very different from that of Hogwarts School." Aisen said slowly, "What I want to tell you now is that the curriculum content here, due to cultural differences, has formed another teaching system that is different from England, or even Europe, or even the whole world."

"So, even if the language problem is solved, to learn new knowledge here, one must also start from scratch?" A look of understanding appeared on Hermione's face.

"If you just want to muddle through a school year here, that's fine. But if you want to learn something useful, it's more appropriate to start learning from scratch." Aisennodded.

"So, if I apply to be an exchange student at Zhengyi School next year, I will become a first-year exchange student at Zhengyi School?" Hermione looked at Aisenand blinked.

"That's right, just like Harry and them, you'll become a first-year student." Aisen nodded.

"But, there's nothing wrong with being a first-year student, as long as I can learn more knowledge." Hermione said nonchalantly.

"Then, after finishing the first grade, what about returning to Hogwarts?" Aisen posed the question.

"After returning to Hogwarts, then continue—" Hermionesaid, and then seemed to realize something, her eyes immediately widened, "Professor, do you mean that I will miss the sixth-grade curriculum?"

"That's right, if you study at Zhengyi School for a school year, then you will miss the sixth-grade curriculum at Hogwarts." Aisen said calmly, "Although I know you are an excellent student, if you miss the sixth-grade curriculum and start Seven Grade directly, I'm not sure if you can keep up with the Professors' teaching pace."

"If that's the case, then wouldn't Harry and them be in trouble!" A look of surprise appeared on Hermione's face, "This year is their O.W.Ls year, how can they—"

"So I think it's necessary for me to talk to Dumbledore!" Aisen's expression was very serious.

"Talk about what?" Hermione hurriedly asked.

"Talk about whether Harry and them should start learning from the fifth grade again after they return to Hogwarts!" Aisen shrugged his shoulders.

"Starting learning from the fifth grade?" Hermione's eyes widened, "Professor, do you mean that Harry and them will have to repeat a year?"

"Uh, that shouldn't count as repeating a year, right?" Aisen's face showed a hint of awkwardness, as if he was a bit embarrassed. "They weren't in their fifth year at Hogwarts anyway."

"Then their school year at Zhengyi School..." Hermioneseemed startled.

"Cough, cough, it's just like they took a year off and then continued their schooling at Hogwarts after a year. It's no big deal, right?" Aisen explained casually.

"In that case, it would indeed allow Harry and the others to finish their studies at Hogwarts, but wouldn't that mean they have to study for an extra year to graduate?" Hermione's face showed a hint of hesitation.

"That's right, the extra year of study is the year they studied here at Zhengyi School." Aisen said, turning the topic back. "If you apply to be an exchange student at Zhengyi School next year, then I think you'll also have to study for an extra year!"

"Is that so?" Hermione said, a conflicted look appearing on her face.

Clearly, she was struggling with whether to apply to be an exchange student at Zhengyi School according to her own wishes. If she became an exchange student at Zhengyi School, it would mean she could learn more knowledge here.

But at the same time, it also meant she would have to study for an extra year to graduate from Hogwarts School.

"Well, are you still going to apply?" Seeing Hermione's conflicted expression, Aisen opened his mouth to tease.

"What's your advice, Professor?" Hearing Aisen's words, Hermione's eyes lit up, and she fixed her gaze on Aisen.

"Me? I suggest you don't apply to be an exchange student at Zhengyi School." Aisen thought for a moment and said directly, "What I mean is, after you graduate from Hogwarts School, if you still want to study the courses at Zhengyi School, I, Professor, can help you then."

"You, Professor, help me?" As if hearing something astonishing, Hermione's eyes instantly widened.

"This is a very simple matter. I can open up such a large space; do you think I can't help you study the course content of Zhengyi School?" Aisen's mouth curved upwards.

"Of course not!" Hermione quickly shook her head in denial. "I just found it a bit unexpected..."

"Haha, there's nothing to be surprised about. I forgot to tell you, I'm a genius! I have extremely strong talent in magic!" Aisen laughed. "Even if I can't teach you that knowledge myself, I have a way to reproduce the scenes of Zhengyi School students attending class here!"

"Like in the Dream World?" Hermione's eyes lit up, and a smile bloomed on her face.

"That's right. You know there's a technology in the Muggle World called a projector, right?" Aisen looked at Hermione with a look of admiration.

"Professor, you're going to reproduce the scenes of Zhengyi School teachers giving lessons and project them here?" Hermione immediately beamed with joy. "Does that mean I can come and watch anytime?"

"That's right, just like online remote teaching, I can cast a spell to reproduce and project the scenes of Zhengyi School teachers giving lessons into Double Leaf Paradise." Aisen smiled as he looked at Hermione, then shook his head slightly. "However, I don't recommend you watch before you graduate from Hogwarts."

"Are you worried it will affect my studies at Hogwarts?" Hermione seemed to understand something.

"That's right, after all, it's knowledge from different systems." Aisen nodded. "After you graduate, I will reproduce and project the classroom scenes of Zhengyi School here. At that time, you can watch whenever you want."

"Alright then, I'll listen to Professor!" Hermione's eyes darted around, then she shook her head.

While enjoying the delicious food and chatting, an hour gradually passed.

After the dinner ended, Aisen did not change the surrounding decorations. Instead, he sat with Hermioneon a long bench outside the villa, quietly enjoying the beautiful scenery around them.

"Oh, right, Hermione, I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?" Leaning back on the bench, Aisen looked at Hermionebeside him and suddenly spoke.

"What?" Hermione seemed to be admiring the colorful ribbons flowing in the air. After hearing Aisen's words, she rubbed her head against his shoulder.

"I said earlier that I could cast a spell to reproduce and project the scenes of Zhengyi School teachers giving lessons here." Aisen said, his mouth curving slightly. "It suddenly occurred to me that you were accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry right after graduating from primary school.

Have you ever thought about what you would have done if you hadn't been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry? You probably would have continued your secondary education and then gone to university, right?"

"Of course I have!" Hearing Aisen bring up this topic, Hermione immediately straightened up. "Before I received my acceptance letter from Hogwarts, my parents and I were still discussing whether to go to Eton College or Harrow School!"

"Is that so? What about after finishing secondary school?" Aisen stretched.

"My parents wanted me to go to Manchester University, but I wanted to go to Oxford University or Cambridge University!" As she spoke, a smile appeared on Hermione's face, as if she was recalling that time.

"So, have you ever thought about what you would want to do if you hadn't entered Hogwarts and hadn't become a Witch?" Aisen raised an eyebrow. "You wouldn't become a dentist like your parents, would you!"

"They think being a dentist is quite good, but I think I would become a scientist!" Hermione said, her face seemingly flushing slightly.

"A scientist?" Aisen's face showed a half-smile, half-serious expression. "Don't laugh, but my childhood dream was also to become a scientist!"

Cough, cough, that's right, my childhood in my previous life was also childhood, nothing wrong with that!

As for his childhood in this life, since he was no longer as naive as in his previous life, he naturally wanted to become an entertainment mogul.

However, the plan hadn't even begun to be implemented, or rather, it had just started, when he was sent to the Wizarding World by his golden finger.

"Professor, you don't believe me?" Seeing Aisen's posture, Hermione seemed a little angry and immediately puffed out her cheeks.

"Of course not!" Aisen immediately composed his expression. "Of course I know how excellent you are in your studies, Hermione."

"Hmph!" Hermione turned her head away, but Aisen saw that her face was full of smiles.

"So, what do you think about me reproducing and projecting the scenes of Eton College teachers giving lessons here? Would you want to study them?" Aisenpicked up the conversation and continued.

"Scenes of Eton College teachers giving lessons?" Hermione was startled and quickly turned her head to look.

"That's right, secondary school knowledge! If you wish, I can also project the scenes of university teachers giving lessons from Oxford University, Cambridge University, Stanford University, etc. How about it?" Aisen winked at Hermione.

"But I'm definitely going to live in the Wizarding World in the future, so what's the point of me studying those secondary school and university course knowledge?" Hermione immediately thought of the key point.

"Hmm, many people do indeed encounter this problem," Aisen said unhurriedly. "It's like how many people say that the knowledge learned in school is almost never used in work. But actually, whether you've attended secondary school and university or not, a person's perspective is completely different."

"Then, Professor, do you think I should go and study?" A thoughtful expression appeared on Hermione's face.

"That's right, I think you should at least study until you graduate from university." Aisen nodded. "That way, perhaps you'll have more inspiration when researching magic!"

"Professor, what you said makes a lot of sense, but I'm afraid I don't have that much time to study." Hermioneimmediately became conflicted. "Unless, Professor, you project the classroom scenes into the Dream World, giving me enough time to study."

"The Dream World is very convenient, but for yourself, you won't be able to arrange your time anytime, anywhere!" Aisen reminded Hermione.

"Then here?" Hermione pointed to the space in Double Leaf Paradise.

"Yes, I will project those teaching scenes here and fix them. You can come in anytime, anywhere, and watch whenever you want. The time arrangement will be more flexible." Aisen nodded.

"Professor, that's not what I meant, what I meant was..." Hermione grabbed Aisen's arm and shook it vigorously a few times, seeming a little anxious.

Chapter 389: Refining the Philosopher's Stone?

"Alright, alright, take your time, no need to rush!" Aisensmiled upon seeing this, gently stroking Hermione's head to soothe her emotions.

"Professor, my point is, I'll be almost eighteen when I graduate from Hogwarts." Hermione said with a serious expression. "Then I also want to study the courses and knowledge here at Zhengyi School, and if I also study the courses and knowledge at Eton College and Oxford University..."

"You mean—" Aisen looked at Hermione, a look of understanding on his face.

"Exactly!" Hermione nodded vigorously. "I just feel that the knowledge in the world is definitely inexhaustible, and besides, I want to stay at Hogwarts just like the Professor!"

"My life has a limit, but knowledge has none. To pursue the unlimited with the limited is exhausting! Knowing this, yet still pursuing knowledge, one can only be weary." Aisen looked at the hint of worry between Hermione's brows and slowly nodded.

"What does that mean?" Hermione looked puzzled.

"These are words spoken by a great philosopher from China over two thousand years ago, Zhuang Zi. The general meaning is—our life is limited, while knowledge is infinite. If we use our limited life to pursue infinite knowledge, we will be exhausted. Since we understand these principles, yet still pursue knowledge, we can only be weary and worn out."

"That's right, that's exactly what I was thinking!" Hermione's face lit up, and she blurted out, "This philosopher named Zhuang Zi is really amazing!"

"Hmm, for ordinary people, that's indeed the case, but don't forget, we are Witches!" Aisen said with a smile.

"I know, I learned about Nicolas Flamel in my first year. He is the only person in the Wizarding World widely recognized for refining the Philosopher's Stone." Hermione leaned back against the chair. "It is said that Nicolas Flamel and his wife Perenelle have lived for over six hundred years."

"That's right, this shows that we, as Witches, can use the power of magic to give ourselves more time to acquire knowledge!" Aisen tilted his head back, looking at the various twinkling lights and colorful ribbons in the night sky, and said unhurriedly.

"Professor, do you mean you're going to create the Philosopher's Stone?" Hermione seemed to have thought of something, turned her head, and stared at Aisen with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on her face.

"What do you think?" Aisen's lips curved upwards.

"But in the Wizarding World, besides Nicolas Flamel, no one can create the Philosopher's Stone! Not even Dumbledore!" To prove her point, Hermione directly used Dumbledore as an example.

"Then do you think I can?" Aisen's face showed a meaningful smile.

"Professor, you—" Hermione seemed about to say no, but then she seemed to think of something, turned her head to look around, and then looked at Aisen with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"magic, it can be said to be the most miraculous power in this world." Aisen's smile faded, and then he said seriously, "Ever since I first stepped through the door of the Wizarding World, I have thought so, and even now, I still think the same way. So, I think you must have thought so too, right?"

"Yes, when I received my acceptance letter from Hogwarts School and Professor McGonagall showed me the existence of magic, I suddenly realized that there was such an unscientific power in the world!" Hermioneseemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but murmur.

"Hmm—you are now a fifth-year student at Hogwarts, which means five years have passed since you entered the Wizarding World. So, where do you think the most miraculous aspect of magical power is reflected?" Aisenstretched out his arms and rested them on the back of the chair, asking unhurriedly.

"The most miraculous aspect of magical power?" Hermione tilted her head back and rubbed against Aisen's arm.

"Or rather, do you think what magic can do, current technology can achieve, or imagine, what technology hundreds or even thousands of years from now can achieve?" Aisen rephrased the question.

"Like Apparition, I definitely don't think technology can do that!" Hermione thought for a moment and said with a serious expression.

"It is true that current technology cannot do it, but as for future technology, I actually think it is still possible to achieve spatial displacement." Aisen directly shook his head.

"Future technology?" Hermione fell into thought.

"Technology is science and technology, and science is a field of study that seeks truth. Given this, it is not strange for future technology to be able to make people jump from one place to another like Apparition." Aisenexplained.

"Then Professor, what do you think magic can do that future technology cannot?" Hermione changed the subject and threw the question back.

"Hmm—" Originally, he intended for Hermione to answer this question, but at this moment, Aisen truly began to ponder.

Space Travel? Just as he said, when future technology develops to a certain extent, it will inevitably break spatial boundaries and be able to do things like the Apparition Charm.

Time Travel? Like returning to the past through a time-turner?

Theoretically, no matter how far future technology develops, it is impossible to make people travel through Space-Time back to the past.

Uh, at least that was the case in Aisen's previous life's world. But in reality, because of the existence of magic in this world, he couldn't be sure if, after future technology develops to a certain level, it would actually create a Time Travel device that could allow people to return to the past.

Just like the time-turner created using magic.

Therefore, in Aisen's view, the Apparition Charm and the time-turner currently used by Witches are actually equivalent to directly obtaining a spatial displacement device that can jump through space and a Time Traveldevice that can return to the past from the distant future.

Perhaps thousands, or even tens or hundreds of thousands of years from now, future humans will have created spatial gates that allow instant movement and temporal gates that can return to the past.

Aisen doesn't know what kind of advanced technology future humans used to achieve this. But the magical power currently borrowed by Witches might very well be future advanced technology.

This is not impossible.

As for obtaining Immortality through the Philosopher's Stone, or conquering death through creating horcruxes. Aisen feels that this is actually the easiest thing for future technological development.

After all, even before Aisen transmigrated in his previous life, scientists had already proposed methods to achieve eternal life.

For example, achieving eternal life by realizing infinite cell division. Or, for example, achieving eternal life by transferring consciousness or uploading it to the virtual world, and so on.

Since the directions exist, when future technology develops to a certain extent, Aisen believes that achieving eternal life through technology is actually not impossible.

So, what other miraculous aspects of magical power are there that technology cannot embody?

Fiendfyre with a strong curse? This, indeed, the curse is a ceiling that current technology cannot reach. But can future technology really not discover curses? Aisendoesn't think that's necessarily the case.

After all, the technological development in this world is extremely similar to that of his previous life, but with the influence of magical factors, who knows if the technology in this world will take a different path.

Or rather, Aisen is not sure if there will be a massive explosion in technology in this world within a few hundred years.

Perhaps, in the future, the technological development of this world will reach the terrifying level of the Zero-dimensional civilization like in the novel 'The Three-Body Problem', right?

Therefore, after thinking it over, Aisen couldn't find any magic that technology couldn't achieve.

What? You mean the laplace's demon that dominates reality and everything? Please, even the Laplace's Demon System implanted in Aisen himself, and the magical version of the god-making project, were established with the help of scientific thinking.

Since it is 'god-making', it means that what magic can do in this world, technology can also definitely do. It's just a matter of how many years in the future it will take to achieve it.

"I think, perhaps everything that magic can do, technology will also be able to do completely at some point in the future!" After thinking for a while, Aisen shook his head and chuckled.

"Everything?" Hermione widened her eyes. "The time-turner can go back to the past!"

Clearly, although Hermione lived in the Muggle Worldbefore entering Hogwarts, she had some understanding of technology but didn't quite believe technology could reach such a level.

"For people hundreds of years ago, traveling by car and airplane was impossible. For them, cars and airplanes were magic!" Aisen shrugged.

"But—" Hermione's face showed hesitation.

"Thinking about it, you must have read some sci-fi novels or watched some sci-fi movies!" Aisen continued, "Do you think future technology will be able to do the things in sci-fi novels or movies?"

"It should be possible!" Hermione's tone was uncertain.

"If that's the case, aren't we, who possess magical power and can do things ordinary people cannot, just like those who possess future technology?" Aisen said, sighing with emotion.

"Professor, you mean—" Hermione showed a thoughtful expression.

"What I mean is, mastering magic is like mastering future technology. Since I can create a space as large as Double Leaf Paradise, isn't it perfectly normal to be able to create a Philosopher's Stone?" After a long roundabout explanation, Aisen revealed that he could refine a Philosopher's Stone.

"I understand, Professor, you can create a Philosopher's Stone!" Hermione seemed to have been confused by Aisen.

"That's right!" Aisen nodded, then reached out, and a book flew out from the warehouse on the right side of the villa, landing in his hand. "Here, look—"

"What is this?" Seeing Aisen's action, Hermione leaned over curiously. When she saw the book's title, her pupils instantly contracted: "the book of abraham? This is—"

"You know this book?" Aisen put the book into Hermione's hand.

"I do!" Hermione stroked the tightly sealed brass cover of the book of abraham, looking surprised. "I heard that Nicolas Flamel found the secret to making the Philosopher's Stone from this book."

"You're right!" Aisen nodded.

"Professor, how do you have this book?" Hermione turned to look at Aisen, her face full of suspicion.

"Of course, Nicolas Flamel gave it to me!" Aisen smiled. "You didn't think I stole it from him, did you?"

"Of course not, it's just, Professor, you know Nicolas Flamel? Why would he give you this book?" Hermionequickly shook her head, then looked at Aisen with curious eyes.

"Well, because of Dumbledore, I met Nicolas Flamelonce." Aisen recalled the scene from back then. "As for why he gave me this book, to be honest, I'm not quite sure!"

Back then, it seemed Dumbledore took him to meet Nicolas Flamel because of an Alchemy issue.

As for why Nicolas Flamel gave him this precious the book of abraham, combining it with what Dumbledoretold him at the time, Aisen vaguely sensed that it was likely closely related to his attitude towards the Philosopher's Stone.

But whether that was the exact reason, since Nicolas Flamel had passed away, Aisen had no way to confirm.

"So, Professor, have you created a Philosopher's Stone?" As if thinking of something, Hermione opened the book, saw the various strange drawings inside, and asked impatiently.

"Uh, although I already know the manufacturing process of the Philosopher's Stone by heart, I haven't created a Philosopher's Stone yet!" Aisen hesitated for a moment but still said it.

"Ah? Why, Professor? After having a Philosopher's Stone, you can turn lead into gold. Then we won't lack money anymore!" As if thinking of something, symbols of "£—£" appeared in Hermione's eyes.

"Although the process for refining the Philosopher's Stone is fine, it does have certain environmental requirements." Aisen said, reaching out and closing the book of abraham. "I'll first cast a Charm to inscribe a rune on you."

After speaking, Aisen placed the book on the side of the bench and began to outline shimmering silver magical runes.

After the magical runes appeared, they were like dancing spirits, quickly stacking and building up like building blocks under the illumination of the colorful ribbons flowing in the air.

Streaks of silver light flickered. The rune circled around Aisen's fingertips, occasionally stirring up gusts of wind. In the blink of an eye, the silver light covered the rotating rune, turning it into a ring.

Then, Aisen's thoughts shifted, and the silver ring emitted wisps of cloudy energy. Subsequently, the rune and magical script were drawn out and entered Hermione's body beside him.

A minute later, the silver ring circling Aisen's fingertips disappeared. When looking at Hermione again, one could see her exposed delicate skin flash with a layer of silver light before quickly receding inward.

"Professor, what is this?" Hermione patted herself, and after sensing for a while, she didn't seem to find any changes, so she looked at Aisen doubtfully.

"Here, open it up and take a look!" Aisen picked up the book of abraham, put it into Hermione's hand, and smiled.

"Huh—" Hermione took the book doubtfully. After opening the pages, her expression suddenly became one of surprise and uncertainty. "What's going on? I can understand the content in this book?"

After Hermione finished speaking, she looked at Aisenwith a shocked expression.

"It's clear that you should indeed be able to understand the content of this book," Aisen said with certainty.

"Is it the rune Professor just cast and inscribed inside me?" As if thinking of something, Hermione looked enlightened.

"That's right, that's the rune for 'Language Comprehension'." Aisen smiled.

"Language Comprehension?" Hermione was full of surprise.

"That's right, Language Comprehension is a Charm I created before. It allows people to understand any written language!" Aisen leaned back in his chair and propped up his legs.

"Understand any written language, meaning I can now understand German, French, and even the Chinese here?" Hermione said with surprise, then, as if thinking of something, she used the Summoning Charm to summon journey to the west, which Aisen had given her earlier and was on the table, into her hand.

"That's right!" Aisen nodded.

"Professor, so 'Language Comprehension' is that spell you mentioned earlier. No wonder you said that after casting a spell on me, I'd be able to understand this book." Hermione rubbed the three Chinese characters on the cover with her finger, the surprise still evident on her face. "journey to the west?"

"That's right. In a while, I'll improve this spell, or rather, create a 'Language Comprehension' Charm, and then inscribe the rune on your body. By then, you'll not only be able to understand all the written languages in the world but also understand all the spoken languages!"

"That's amazing!" Hermione was full of pleasant surprises. As she spoke, she closed journey to the westand then opened the book of abraham.

Aisen shrugged and said nothing, just looked at Hermione with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness.

For a moment, the two fell silent, with only the rustling sound of Hermione turning pages.

After a long time, as if she had discovered a problem, Hermione's face changed, and her breathing became rapid. She pointed to the content on a certain page of the book of abraham and asked, "Professor, what does the content on this page mean?"

"As you can see, the Philosopher's Stone can only be refined in an environment of sufficient chaos and death!" Aisen glanced and understood Hermione's thoughts.

"Chaos and death?" Hermione looked at Aisen, her face a little pale.

"War and death, plague and disaster..." Aisen said briefly.

"Professor, are you going to refine the Philosopher's Stone?" Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and her expression calmed down.

"If necessary, I will indeed refine the Philosopher's Stone!" Aisen nodded.

"But to refine the Philosopher's Stone, you need to create chaos and death—" Hermione looked at Aisen and said loudly, her eyes seemingly glistening slightly.

"Of course, I won't create chaos and death!" Aisen said with a smile, pulling Hermione into his arms.

"Then you still said you would refine the Philosopher's Stone—" Hermione, nestled in Aisen's arms, breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at him with a searching gaze.

"Oh, I just said I would refine the Philosopher's Stone if it were necessary. If it's not necessary, then there's no need to refine the Philosopher's Stone." Aisen looked at Hermione and winked at her.

"So what is necessary, and what is not necessary?" Hermione became confused.

"If you want the Philosopher's Stone, then it's necessary. If you don't want it, then it's not necessary!" Aisen smiled with the corners of his mouth.

Chapter 390: Immortality Together

"Then, Professor, what other method will you use to give us more time to pursue knowledge?" Hearing Aisen's words, a blush appeared on Hermione's face, but then, as if she thought of something, a hint of worry showed in her eyes.

"Hmm—actually, in this world, using the magical power of magic to achieve Immortality is not the only way to refine the Philosopher's Stone," Aisen said slowly, putting away his smile.

"Professor, do you mean there are other ways to make us immortal?" Intense curiosity flashed in Hermione's eyes.

"This involves another secret of mine!" Aisen raised his eyebrows and glanced at Hermione.

"If Professor doesn't want to say, then I won't ask!" Hermione buried her head in Aisen's arms and said in a muffled voice.

"Actually, this secret isn't something that can't be told. Do you want to know?" The smile on Aisen's face quickly spread.

Hermione pulled away from Aisen's embrace and looked at him with a flushed face. Although she didn't say anything, Aisen understood what she meant from her expectant eyes.

"Alright, before talking about this secret, I want to mention something," Aisen said slowly with a smile.

"What is it?" Hermione asked, a hint of inexplicable joy appearing on her face.

"the book of aisen! You still remember this, right?" Aisenrubbed his chin with his finger, then pointed directly into the air.

Immediately, a book with the symbol "∞" and mysterious patterns appeared before them. The book hovered in front of them for a few turns, then landed in Hermione's arms.

"Of course I remember!" Hermione held the book in her arms, rubbing the cover and then flipping through the pages. "I remember, back then, it seemed like I formed a contract with Professor through it, right?"

Seeing her own portrait on the first page, with her information listed below, a look of surprise appeared on Hermione's face.

"That's right, I created two Charms back then and used it as a hub to form a contract with you!" Aisen said with a smile. "And the Chat Group that was created later was also developed based on this."

"Is the secret Professor wants to tell related to it?" Hermione flipped through the book of aisen, occasionally showing surprised expressions.

"Cough cough, you listen to me first!" Aisen reached out and gently tapped Hermione's forehead.

"Oh!" Hermione closed the book, reached up and touched her forehead, showing a slightly wronged expression.

Seeing her like this, Aisen couldn't help but shake his head: "I disassembled some Charms into runes and inscribed them on this book, then embedded them into the Chat Group in the form of a skill bar."

"So, the reason I can use those Charms in the skill bar is because of this?" Hearing Aisen say this, a surprised expression appeared on Hermione's face.

"Because we formed a contract, all the Charm skills I inscribed on the book of aisen can be borrowed by you through the power of the contract!" Aisen further explained.

"So that's how it is!" Hermione showed a look of sudden realization while reaching out a finger, borrowing the Shield Charm from the skill bar and casting a spherical transparent protective shield around herself.

Since the mirror space descended into the real world, Aisen had updated the "skills" in the skill bar. Therefore, when Hermione used the Shield Charm from the skill bar, it was more like casting a variant Shield Charm.

Moreover, compared to before, this variant Shield Charm, which resembled a spherical protective shield, had stronger defensive capabilities. It could even be said that as long as Hermione cast this spell, it was likely that no one else besides Aisen could break it.

"Precisely because of this, all the Charms I have mastered can be shared through the contract on the book of aisen, and then you can use them," Aisen continued.

"I understand!" Hermione nodded, then seemed to think of something. "But, Professor, why did you still inscribe Energy Absorption, Comprehension of Text, and other runes on my body before?

I mean, Professor, you must have these runes inscribed on your body, right? Since you can share them with me through the contract of the book of aisen, couldn't I just directly borrow the effects of the runes inscribed on your body?"

Aisen looked at Hermione with surprise, then smiled slightly: "You're right, actually, through the contract, I can indeed turn these abilities into runes and inscribe them on your body. However, inscribing runes for you by casting in person is easier to explain, isn't it!"

"Is that so?" A strange look appeared on Hermione's face.

"Cough cough, that's how it is! Think about it, I didn't directly use the contract connection to turn these abilities into runes and inscribe them on your body. Instead, I cast in person to inscribe the runes for you, isn't that more simple and direct." Looking at the surprised and uncertain Hermione, Aisen said, unable to stop the smile on his face.

"But, wouldn't it also be very simple to say it in the Chat Group?" Hermione thought for a moment, a suspicious look appearing on her face.

"Oh, this isn't a problem, don't dwell on it. Anyway, haven't I inscribed the runes on your body by changing the method? As long as the goal is achieved, that's enough!" Aisen reached out and rubbed Hermione's head.

"Alright, Professor, continue!" Hermione was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"After talking about this, I will talk about my secret!" Aisen said unhurriedly.

Seeing Aisen say this, Hermione's eyes immediately widened, showing a curious attitude.

"My secret, well, that is, cough cough—" Aisen continued to organize his words.

"Professor!" Hermione said coquettishly.

"Don't rush, let me sort it out." A smile appeared on Aisen's face. "Hmm, it was probably about four years ago, when you were in your first year at Hogwarts School. While I was researching Alchemy, I mastered an ability."

"What ability?" Hermione asked in a timely manner.

"That is, I can strip some abilities from some magical items or alchemical items. Well, or rather, I can reproduce these abilities using Ancient Runes," Aisen said slowly.

"Professor means—" A thoughtful expression appeared on Hermione's face.

"Yes, just like the waterproof and fireproof runes I inscribed on your body. The effects that these runes can express are actually the same as the effects of the waterproof and fireproof Charms." Aisen nodded. "This is because my research on Charms is very deep, so I can select suitable runes from Ancient Runes, arrange and combine them, and then inscribe them on the body in the form of runes."

"That is to say, if Professor knows the function of a magical item, he can select suitable runes from Ancient Runes, then combine them into runes and inscribe them on his body?" Hermione looked at Aisen, blinking her eyes.

"Hmm—that's not quite right, but it's close," Aisenthought for a moment and said slowly, "just like the Scarpin Revealing Charm can identify the specific ingredients of a Potion.

This ability of mine can detect magical items or alchemical items, and then through feedback, select the appropriate runes. Then combine them into runes to express the same magical effect."

"Then what does that have to do with the secret Professor mentioned?" Hermione rolled her eyes, seemingly unable to understand what this had to do with Aisen's secret.

"Do you remember investigating Professor Snape with Harry and the others in your first year?" Speaking of this, Aisen's face was full of playfulness when he looked at Hermione.

"Of course I remember, wasn't it investigating Professor Snape stealing the Philosopher's Stone!" Hermionecouldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Dumbledore left challenges for all the Professors to guard the Philosopher's Stone. Finally, Harry and I went to the last challenge and saw Professor Quirrell, who was possessed by Voldemort," Aisen said calmly.

"I know, Professor said so at the time!" Hermione nodded.

"We stopped Voldemort's plot to steal the Philosopher's Stone. In the end, after Dumbledore and Nicolas Flameldiscussed it, they decided to destroy the Philosopher's Stone," Aisen continued. "However, I got my hands on the Philosopher's Stone at that time."

"You got your hands on it and—" Hermione said, and then her face showed a look of surprise as if she had thought of something.

"Didn't I say that I learned an ability that can detect magical items and alchemical creations to obtain suitable rune feedback?" Aisen said, smiling.

"So, Professor, after you got the Philosopher's Stone, you used the ability you mastered on it!" Hermione said, looking at Aisen with a rather complex expression.

Her gaze towards Aisen was filled with surprise, shock, disbelief, and also admiration.

"Exactly, I spent a long time using Ancient Runes to weave runes that could grant Immortality, and then I inscribed them onto myself," Aisen vaguely stated the result.

What? You're saying Aisen is shameless, claiming it was something his cheat (the golden finger) did, when it was clearly something he mastered? Ahem, actually, from the clues about Aisen refining the Horcrux earlier, it can be inferred that his golden finger was something he refined himself.

Therefore, what the golden finger, this cheat, did, wasn't that just what Aisen himself did!

"Then, Professor, you can achieve Immortality now?" Hermione's face showed an expression of disbelief as she directly grabbed Aisen's arm and examined him up and down.

"That's right!" Aisen stood up and stretched his arms to demonstrate, "Presumably, you've also noticed that since I entered Hogwarts and became the Astronomy Professoruntil now, my appearance hasn't changed much.

Clearly, this is the effect achieved after my body integrated the Immortality runes."

"Then, Professor—" Hermione stood up and looked at Aisen, appearing a bit hesitant.

"You want to ask if I can cast a spell to inscribe the Immortality runes onto your body?" Seeing Hermione's demeanor, Aisen couldn't help but tease.

"Well, how about it, Professor!" Hermione stepped forward and hugged Aisen's arm, suddenly acting coy.

"No, you know, when I inscribed the Immortality runes on my body back then, that was my biggest secret," Aisensaid with a smile, "I was thinking of telling you slowly when I had time later, but unexpectedly, through a strange twist of fate, you've discovered this secret now."

"Professor, I want it now—" Hermione burrowed into Aisen's embrace, rubbing her head against his chest.

"What do you want, Hermione!" Aisen hugged Hermione, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

"Of course, I want to be like Professor!" Hermione seemed afraid to look at Aisen and buried her head directly, "I want to be with Professor forever!"

"Alright, wait a moment. I will now use the book of aisento inscribe the Immortality runes onto your body!" Aisensaid with a smile, and he and Hermione sat back down on the bench.

As his words fell, Aisen's thoughts moved, and he cast a spell to make the entire Chat Group interface flash.

Then, streaks of ethereal light flickered and flowed around them, like countless light points contained within a constantly flowing river, rising up and revolving around Aisen and Hermione.

This dazzling scene immediately attracted Hermione's attention, while Aisen frowned slightly, putting on an appearance of being focused on something.

A moment later, the chat interface returned to its original state, and the light flowing around the two also vanished into thin air.

"Alright, now you can be like me and have more time to pursue infinite knowledge!" Aisen said, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

Although Aisen had lied, there were no Immortality runes inscribed on his body, nor did he inscribe them onto Hermione's body. However, how this matter was explained was entirely up to Aisen.

Wait—

The golden finger's ability to extract and replicate the extraordinary characteristics of magical or alchemical items, wasn't that like an advanced version of Aisen's method of inscribing runes on himself? If you look at it that way, his previous statement didn't really count as a lie!

Forget it, anyway, when he had previously formed a contract with Hermione through the book of aisen, he had already shared the ability of Immortality with Hermione.

Didn't Aisen name the two Charm he created 'Same Life Charm' and 'Accompanying Life Charm'? That was naturally because he had already considered this possibility.

Of course, the truth of the matter wasn't that Aisencopied the ability of Immortality to Hermione through the power of the contract. Instead, he used the power of the contract to connect his own life force to Hermione's.

Simply put, Aisen used the power of the contract to extend the Immortality characteristic within his body to Hermione's body.

Previously, Aisen had been worried that this method might not be enough for Hermione to achieve Immortalitylike him. Therefore, he had been trying to find ways to create perfect Horcrux without side effects for Hermioneto use.

Or simply go back in Space-Time to create a new Philosopher's Stone, then research it to extend Hermione's life, and so on.

But after nearly ten thousand years of accumulation, after the legendary Immortality characteristic evolved into a mythical Immortality characteristic, Aisen felt that the bit of Immortality characteristic extended into Hermione's body through the power of the contract was completely sufficient for her to be like him.

All in all, with Aisen's current strength and methods, making Hermione immortal like him wasn't a difficult task at all.

"I can achieve Immortality now?" Hermione rubbed herself for a while, then looked at Aisen suspiciously.

"That's right, didn't you want to be with me forever?" Aisen's face showed a half-smile, "Well, we built a villa in Double Leaf Paradise as our 'home', and you can also achieve Immortality like me. Is there anything you don't understand?"

"Why don't I feel anything!" Hermione glanced at Aisen, then her face turned red with embarrassment.

"This isn't a spell that greatly increases your strength, so of course you won't feel anything," Aisen said, crossing his legs.

"Then, can I really achieve Immortality?" Hermione still seemed to find it hard to believe and asked again.

"Oh, Hermione, don't you believe me?" Aisen's smile quickly spread across his face.

"It's not that, Professor!" Hermione hugged Aisen's arm and leaned against him, "I just feel it's a bit hard to believe!"

"Mm, alright, being able to achieve Immortality is indeed an incredible thing. After all, not many people in this world can do that," Aisen reached out and put his arm around Hermione.

"Oh, right, Professor!" Hermione seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became serious, "I know Nicolas Flamel and his wife Perenellelived for over six hundred years with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, but I heard he was already very old, right?"

"Indeed!" Aisen nodded.

"But, wasn't he immortal?" Hermione's face showed deep confusion.

"Regarding this, I actually have a little guess!" Aisenpondered.

"A guess?" Hermione looked at Aisen.

"Mm, do you know how Nicolas Flamel achieved longevity through the Philosopher's Stone?" Aisen asked.

"I've researched a lot of information about Nicolas Flamel. It is said that he refined an elixir of Immortality using the Philosopher's Stone, and then by taking the elixir, he could achieve Immortality," Hermione briefly explained.

"I suspect the problem lies there!" Aisen's face was solemn.

"Professor, do you mean that although Nicolas Flameland his wife took the elixir of Immortality refined from the Philosopher's Stone, they would still continue to age, whereas if we inscribe runes with the ability of Immortality onto our bodies, we won't experience aging?" Hermione's face showed a pensive look.

"I think that's how it is!" Aisen shrugged.

Whether the specific reason was like this, Aisen wasn't entirely sure, but he was very confident that he and Hermione would not continue to age as time passed.

Or rather, when he had integrated the Immortalitycharacteristic before, he wasn't sure if it was like this. But since returning to ten thousand years ago and 'sleeping' for nearly ten thousand years, he could be certain.

After all, in a sense, Aisen had already lived for ten thousand years.

Since he still maintained his original appearance, it meant that he had indeed achieved true Immortality! Similarly, since Hermione's body contained the Immortalitycharacteristic that Aisen extended to her, she naturally wouldn't age either.

"Phew—, that's good!" As if hearing reassuring words, Hermione immediately let out a sigh of relief.
