Chapter 324: Polyjuice Potion? No, it's a Wisdom Potion

Back in the lab, Richard began to test the unicorn's blood. Richard took out some unicorn blood and put it into a special magical instrument to test it.

The blood was magnified countless times, allowing his mental power to clearly sense the various bloodline chains in the blood. Countless bloodline runes formed a bloodline chain.

Most of these bloodline chains emit extremely weak light, and only a few bloodline chains emit bright light. These bloodline chains look more complete.

These blood chains are what constitute the blood power of the unicorn. Among them are not only the blood chains at the source of the unicorn's blood, but also the blood of other creatures.

In fact, almost all creatures do not have a completely single bloodline. It is normal for creatures to mix with other bloodlines as they continue to reproduce, just like the human race in the world of Motera.

After extensive research, the arcanists have not found a pure-blooded human. Almost everyone has blood from other bloodlines.

In the research of arcanists, humans with more than 90% human blood are defined as humans, because if the value is lower than this, other characteristics will appear in humans.

At that time, dozens of great arcanists worked together to analyze the bloodlines of tens of thousands of creatures in the world of Motera, and compiled a huge bloodline gene map, marking out most of the bloodline genes.

This is a huge advancement in the arcanist's research on bloodlines.

All human blood contains 5/10,000 to 5/1,000 of dragon blood. These bloods have almost no effect, but if the blood reverts to the ancestral bloodline, he will become a warlock even if there has been no warlock in his ancestors for several generations.

The blood concentration of a Dragon Vein Warlock needs to be over ten percent in order to awaken. To become a legend, the blood concentration must reach around forty.

Richard discovered that the blood genes of these unicorns were also somewhat complex. More than 90% of them belonged to unicorns, and the rest were blood genes from various creatures such as horses.

In addition to these genes, Richard also discovered that more than 60% of the unicorn's bloodline was in a dormant state.

Bloodline genes in a dormant state can only record genetic information and pass their genes to the next generation, but these dormant bloodline genes will make their strength weaker and weaker, and their upper limit of lifespan will also begin to decrease.

The most obvious manifestation is that the unicorns in the upper planes of Heaven Mountain and the Beast Garden are close to dragons in strength, while the unicorns in this world are several times weaker.

In fact, these dormant bloodline genes are dormant because the environment is not sufficient to support the host to activate these genes. And once dormant, it is very difficult to wake them up.

The simplest way is to let the next generation live in an environment with abundant elemental energy, so that they can continuously activate their dormant bloodline genes during their growth, and at the same time devour some natural treasures.

It is already very difficult for adult unicorns to improve further.

The same goes for the phoenix egg in Richard's hand. If it is hatched in a low-magic plane, its growth environment will also be a low-magic environment. When it grows up, it will be similar to Dumbledore's phoenix.

Of course, Richard can also artificially create an area with high elemental energy for them to grow, which can also allow them to grow better in their infancy.

After studying the unicorn's bloodline, Richard collected the remaining blood and began to study other things.

As a professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Richard did not offer any fixed courses, but he promised Dumbledore to give two open classes every month. These two open classes were elective and anyone could attend.

Soon, school had been open for nearly a month, and Richard's open class was about to begin.

As the most popular wizard this year, he defeated dozens of Aurors from the Ministry of Magic alone in Knockturn Alley. As soon as the news of Richard's open class came out, the whole academy was in an uproar.

There were so many people signing up that Dumbledore decided to hold the class in the Great Hall of Hogwarts.

Richard's open class was on Friday, at seven in the morning. Just after breakfast, the auditorium was already packed with wizards. Not only did the senior children come, but also the juniors and other professors in the academy.

The entire classroom was packed with people. A few days ago, after the news of Richard's open class came out, Dumbledore began to tell those students to come and listen to the class, as the content of Richard's open class was very important.

Richard said that he would teach some wandless and fast casting techniques in the open class, which made all the wizards full of expectations.

After hearing the news, many young pure-blood wizards wrote letters to tell their parents, and then they were told to attend the class and write down the course content word for word.

As a pure-blood wizard family, they are well aware of the value of wandless and fast casting. Now the Ministry of Magic and Auror Law Enforcement in the wizarding world remove the wands of other wizards to deprive them of their ability to cast spells.

The wizard-level magic monitoring network also searches for criminal wizards based on the wand numbers. Once wizards are able to cast spells without wands, many wizards whose spellcasting abilities are restricted will immediately regain the ability to cast spells.

At the same time, the wizard's spellcasting will become more covert and faster.

The strength Richard showed at the beginning was enough to attract the attention of all wizards. Many wizards wanted to obtain Richard's spellcasting skills or the spells he mastered. It was just that Richard had never appeared in public, which made it impossible for others to contact him.

Dumbledore specifically notified Harry, Ron and Hermione that they must come to the class, especially Harry. Even after Dumbledore left, Professor Snart also found Harry and told him that he must go to the class, which would be very important.

After informing Harry, Snape used magic to secretly pour the potion he prepared into Harry's cup while no one was paying attention. Snape was worried that Harry would not understand what Richard was saying, so he specially prepared a wisdom potion.

Yes, it is the Wisdom Potion. Snape changed the name of Richard's modified Polyjuice Potion to Wisdom Potion. This potion can temporarily improve intelligence and make people smarter, but there are some minor side effects. The person who takes it will turn into a red-haired girl.

Compared with the effect of the wisdom potion, this side effect can be ignored. Therefore, in order to help Harry succeed, Snape has decided to let Harry take the wisdom potion during some important classes.

After being repeatedly asked by Dumbledore and Snape, the three of them realized the importance of this lesson, so they prepared notebooks to record it.

After the three of them finished their meal, they drank some water and prepared to go to the classroom, but at this moment, Harley felt unwell again. A familiar change appeared in her body, and in the blink of an eye, Harley once again turned into the little red-haired girl.

Seeing this change, the three were stunned, but the open class was about to begin, so Harley could only follow the two to class.

When the three of them arrived at the auditorium, it was already full of people. They could hardly believe what they saw.

"Merlin's pants, why are there so many people!" Ron said as he looked at the auditorium full of people.

"How come the first row is occupied by professors and teachers? Isn't this an open class? How come the professors are here to listen to the class?" Hermione asked. "Is that the principal? The principal is here too? How come they have occupied all the best seats in the first row?" Harry said in disbelief.

"Wait, how come the principal has two roles?" Ron said suddenly.

At this moment, Dumbledore saw Harry and shouted, "Harry, haven't you found a seat yet? I have another one here, come here!"

Dumbledore waved and smiled.

"Dean, Ron and Hermione don't have seats either, so let them sit over there. I have an empty seat here, so let Harry sit here." Professor Snape, who was going to the other side, said hurriedly.

Then, without giving Dumbledore time to object, he stood up and pulled Harry to his seat.

Dumbledore was stunned when he saw Snape pulling Harry back to his seat. Old Bat? What are you doing?
Snape: This is my Harry, I will always protect her! Voldemort, get out of here!

"Dean Dumbledore, thank you for saving a seat for me," Harry, who was pulled over by Snape, thanked Dumbledore.

"I already have a seat. Can the remaining seat of Headmaster be left to Hermione and Ron?"

Dumbledore's eyes kept moving between Harry and Snape. As he looked at Harry, he finally recalled a person from long ago in his mind - Harry's mother, Lily Potter.

Dumbledore glanced at Snape inexplicably, but Snape looked calm, as if he didn't notice Dumbledore's strange look. Dumbledore retracted his gaze and said to Hermione, "Hermione, come here. Ron is a boy, please let the girl go."

As he said that, he pulled Hermione over to sit next to him. As for that poor Ron Velez? He just stood there. Who told him not to come earlier to take a seat? Remember to come earlier next time!
Ron, who was standing aside, watched as the two friends who came with him got seats in the blink of an eye, leaving him standing alone, feeling very aggrieved. He even saw his two twin brothers on the other side, but it was a pity that the two twin brothers seemed not to see him.

Ron could only stand in the aisle next to the classroom feeling aggrieved.

Soon, it was eight o'clock and Richard appeared in the classroom.

"Hello, good morning everyone. I'm very happy to see so many wizards coming here for class." Richard was also surprised when he saw that the auditorium was full of people.

"I think this lesson will definitely benefit you for life!"

Richard didn't have any textbooks. He would not teach any magic in this class, but would instead talk about some spellcasting techniques.

"In this lesson, I will talk about spellcasting techniques."

"As we all know, wizards of all ages, including professors, need wands when casting spells."

"Then the question is, why do we need a wand to cast spells? What is the function of a wand? Can we cast spells without a wand?" Richard continued after looking around.

“My answer is yes!”

As he spoke, Richard snapped his fingers, and a fireball instantly appeared in his hand.

"This spell is Fireball. I cast this spell without using any wand!"

"Buzz~!"

Seeing Richard casting a spell without a wand, the wizards in the auditorium were stunned. After all, seeing something with one's own eyes and hearing about it were two completely different things. Seeing this scene, all the wizards became extremely serious.

Richard waved his hand gently, and the fireball went out. He then continued, "You cast spells through your own magic power, which is then integrated and transmitted through the wand. Finally, with the cooperation of incantations, gestures, and mental power, the spell is formed in the wand and then released."

"Among them, the magic wand plays the role of conducting and forming spells. The magic wands sold in the store only differ in the magic conduction coefficient and magic power."

"If you want to cast spells without a wand, you need to be able to form spells without using a wand." Richard said with a smile.

"This requires a stronger mental force. Only a stronger mental force can control magic power more accurately!"

"The essence of wandless spellcasting is to use mental power to guide magic power first, so that magic power can form spells under the control of mental power."

"Of course, there is another problem here, and that is the dissipation of magic power. Magic power needs to be attached to other objects to exist, otherwise it will dissipate. So why doesn't the magic power that is cast dissipate? Just like fireball spells, light spells, etc., they are still magic power in essence."

"Why doesn't this magic power dissipate, but instead exists stably for a long time?"

"Here we need to study the nature of these spells."

"All spells have their own spell model. You should feel this when you cast a spell. When you cast a spell, you should be able to feel that your magic power will form a unique magic circuit. And this magic circuit is the spell model."

As he spoke, Richard waved his hand gently, and a simplest light spell model appeared before his eyes. Then, Richard infused magic power into the spell model, and the next second, a light spell was successfully performed.

"As long as you use your mental power to simulate this spell model and then infuse magic power into it, you can successfully cast this spell!"

This... So this is the essence of wandless spellcasting! So this is the function of the magic wand! After Richard's explanation, many wizards in the auditorium suddenly felt as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had been shining.

In the auditorium, many wizards carefully wrote down every word Richard said, including the spell model.

"Of course, this is just theory. It will take a lot of time and practice to be able to cast wandless spells! Of course, if you don't have enough mental strength to cast wandless spells, you can also try semi-wandless casting."

As he spoke, Richard took out a wooden ring.
