Chapter 72 The Cultivation of Soul Magic

Hermione's voice was very low, and Orlando's ears were tickled by the breath that came out, and he kept silent, daring not to move.

Ron who was next to him vaguely heard her voice, and the smile that was finally suppressed surged up again.He covered his stomach and buried his head under the table, laughing out of breath.

Harry was full of resentment, but now he was being teased by his friends, and he was immediately unhappy. He turned his head, picked up the schoolbag on the table, and sat down a few seats away.

"Hermione, you said that Lockhart can't even deal with an elf, are the stories he told true?" Orlando hurriedly changed the subject.

"Harry and Ron also discussed this, and everyone expressed doubts, but his Order of Merlin is indeed real, and this cannot be faked." Hermione frowned and said, she always has some star chasers for Lockhart Looking forward, so subconsciously unwilling to doubt.

Orlando shrugged his shoulders. He knew the parallel importer Lockhart well, so it didn't matter what the answer was.

Orlando took out a metal box from his backpack and placed it on the desk, making a dull thud.This is the alchemy product that Nicole Flamel gave him before returning to cooperate with the cultivation of soul magic.

Take off the wooden top plate, there are ten metal figures inside, Orlando thought for a moment, took out one of them and put it in his hand.

"What is this?" Hermione leaned over and asked curiously.

"This is an alchemical product used to exercise the power of the soul." Orlando put the metal figurine in Hermione's palm.

"Why is it so heavy?"

"Of course it's heavy. Don't look at such a small villain, but it's made of metal osmium that's heavier than lead."

Hermione weighed it up, and felt that it should be very precious, and it was better not to play with it, so she put the metal villain back on the table, "What are these villains for?"

"Exercising the power of the soul is used for cultivating soul magic." Orlando was about to demonstrate.

At this time, Ron, who had been paying attention to the two of them, came over curiously, and without Orlando saying, he reached out and grabbed the little metal man on the table.

"It's heavy! What's this for, Orlando? Is it wizard chess?"

"No, this is for practicing magic."

"How?" Ron asked curiously.

Seeing Ron fiddling with the metal figurine's hands and feet, Hermione was unhappy. She glared at him and scolded him in a low voice, "Ron, don't break it. This is an alchemy product for Orlando's cultivation."

Ron put down the metal figurine awkwardly, "I'm not curious."

"Orlando, leave him alone and demonstrate quickly."

"Okay, you guys are watching."

At this time, Lockhart was telling the stories in his book in a cadence, not to mention, his storytelling level is not bad. Some students were attracted by the ups and downs of the story, and they exclaimed from time to time. Exclaimed, Lockhart's story became more and more vigorous.

He glanced at the podium to make sure no one else was looking.Orlando began to mobilize the power of the soul. The power of the soul is invisible and intangible, but it really exists. Most people cannot perceive and use it. Only when the sea of ​​soul is opened can it be used. But to master it proficiently, you must go through the system. practice.

Under Orlando's conscious control, the metal villain stood up, like a drunkard, walking around the table with unsteady steps.

"Are you sure it's not magic?" Ron opened his mouth in surprise, he forgot that this was in class, and suddenly alarmed Lockhart who was lecturing.

"Student, do you have any objections to the magic I use?" Lockhart asked, pointing at Ron.

"No——no——sorry, professor, I have no objection, I just think it's incredible, amazing, professor." Ron didn't react for a while, and stammered nonsense.

"I know many people have expressed amazement at my experience, but I hope that you, my students, will remain calm and know that for a great wizard, under no circumstances should this be lost, calm is yours The premise of overcoming all odds. So let's continue our adventure, where are we? Oh, right"

Seeing that Lockhart wasn't paying attention to him anymore, Ron sat down hastily, and took out a book to block in front of him.

"What's the matter with you, Ron." Hermione said dissatisfied.

"I, I didn't mean it." A cold sweat broke out, and Ron also felt aggrieved.

At this time, Harry also came over, and he whispered, "Shut up, and don't disturb Orlando."

Orlando, who devoted himself to soul training, controlled the metal villain without distraction. Hermione, Harry, and Ron held their breath for fear of disturbing him.

The little metal man walked back and forth on the table. At first, his movements were very uncoordinated. His walking posture was one foot high and the other foot low. With the use of strength, the little metal man gradually walked in a decent manner.

The one-hour class was spent in this silent training. Hermione's eyes were already shining. Although she didn't know much about soul magic, she knew that without using a wand or using a spell, she could be silent. Doing this without interest is something that many adult wizards can't do, which is very remarkable.

Harry and Ron just thought it was fun, and didn't think it was a big deal. They each took out a metal figurine from Orlando's iron box, and kept it as a rare thing in their hands.

"You don't need to look at me, this is not a toy, it is an alchemy product used to exercise the power of the soul, it is impossible for you to play with." Orlando took back the metal villain from Harry and Ron.

"Can you play with us for a few days?" Harry pleaded, not liking the nunchuck-wielding villain.

"Yes, just play for a few days, and I'll return it to you later." Ron added hastily.

"No, this is not a toy." Orlando closed the lid without thinking.

"Stingy." Ron muttered.

"Is this stingy? You have the guts to ask for it yourself." Hermione said indignantly, "Orlando used it to practice magic, and he was doing serious things. How about you, take it for fun?"

"He's so good, does he need to work so hard?" Ron was taught by his mother to learn from his brothers since he was a child, which made him very disgusted by others preaching to him.

Seeing what Hermione was going to say again, Orlando hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, stop arguing, get out of class is over, what's the next class? Let's hurry up."

"It's Professor Binns' class, and I just want to ask him another question." Hermione said hastily after memorizing the timetable.

"What question, why don't you ask Orlando directly." Harry asked curiously.

"It's about the Chamber of Secrets, Orlando, do you know?"

"Well, I know a little bit. It's recorded in "Hogwarts, a School History". We talked about it as we walked." Orlando put his schoolbag on his back, and several people crowded out of the classroom door.

"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded more than 1000 years ago when four of the greatest wizards and wizards of the time joined forces to found it. The four houses are named after them: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin."

"I know that," Hermione added. "They built this castle together, away from the prying eyes of Muggles, because in those days, the common people were afraid of magic, and wizards and wizards were persecuted a lot."
