Chapter 382: Sword and Storybook

In the evening, Harry and Ron met Zhang Qiu in the library as they wished after she woke up. She was much more energetic.

"You already have ideas?" She said curiously, "How do you plan to do it, Ron?"

"I have almost decided to choose a sword as one of my elements." Ron said, "But what I'm not sure about is whether there is a saying about compatibility between the elements of the two bottles. If the other element chooses a shield or a wand, or armor, what will happen?"

"Elements represent the attributes after you transform, Ron," Zhang Qiu explained, "Sword and shield is a decent combination, but it's too mediocre. You need something that can entrust magical power."

"Magical power? Why do you emphasize this point?" Harry found a blind spot, "But didn't you say that transformation will drain all magic power, so you can't cast spells after transformation?"

"Yes, but this doesn't mean you can only rely entirely on physical damage," Zhang Qiu gestured, "According to some memories I've seen, you can still mobilize magical power to make them attach to your fists and feet, or weapons. Although this is not that easy, having it and not having it are two different things."

"I have to explain it to you like this, Ron." Zhang Qiu adjusted her sitting posture, "The composition of the Knight System is divided into a belt and energy bottles. The belt contains a small piece of magic stone, which can completely convert your magic power into a form between energy and spirit."

"Subsequently, your spirit can merge into it to strengthen it. The strengthened magic power enters the energy bottle and begins to take shape. During this shaping process, the thoughts and emotions you entrust in the bottle can be strengthened again through resonance, and this strengthening is also a kind of shaping." Zhang Qiu explained in detail, "Ultimately, the Knight form you present depends partly on the elements in the bottle, and partly on your understanding of this element."

"The element in the bottle you mentioned," Harry interjected, "is it determined by the object you choose when using the energy bottle to extract elements?"

"Right." Zhang Qiu nodded.

"That is to say, Ron, when you extract elements, it's best to use as powerful magical items as possible." Harry said thoughtfully, "A sword is fine, but for a wand, do you want to..."

"How is a sword just fine?" Zhang Qiu frowned, "I just realized you have been talking in the singular! I thought Ron was planning to extract from the Seven Deadly Sins!"

"I want to use that sword of Gawain." Ron said blankly, "That is my own sword."

"I think you can extract more," Zhang Qiu hinted, "Seven Deadly Sins, Gryffindor's sword, plus your own sword. You can treat it as the backbone, but there's no need to reject other powerful swords."

Harry nodded secretly. Indeed, Ron still believed he had obtained the ancient Round Table Knight Gawain's Wheel of Victory Sword in Avalon, but Harry and Zhang Qiu both knew that this was actually just a child's toy that Tang Tang Nade had asked an alchemy master to build.

"Alright, that's it. Then if I use a wand on the other side," Ron was still relatively willing to listen to advice, "should I also pile up some more powerful wands, and use my own as the main trunk?"

Harry stopped talking. He knew that the Elder Wand was buried in Dumbledore's tomb at this time, but he couldn't do something like digging up his mentor's grave to gain power.

Zhang Qiu seemed to read his eyes too. After all, talking about wands and power would definitely not bypass the topic of the Elder Wand, so she made up a statement with a silver tongue: "I actually think that choosing a wand on the other side is not necessarily the case. A wand, like a sword, is also a weapon. You can put your own wand in the sword pile. A wand is the magic sword you wield as a wizard."

"If I don't use a wand, what should I use?" Ron looked a bit distressed, "Is a flying broomstick okay?"

"Zhang Qiu, you mentioned before that the Knight form depends partly on the transformer's understanding of the elements in the bottle?" Harry suddenly said, "That is to say, not only must the elements in the bottle be powerful enough, but the user must also think it is powerful?"

"That's how it is. The Knight System is based on magic after all, so it's quite idealistic." Zhang Qiu nodded, "If the user is not confident enough or doesn't know much about the elements in the bottle, they can't fully exert its power."

"Yes, Ron, a flying broomstick has a drawback, which is that it will be updated." Harry advised, "If the Nimbus company launches a better broomstick in the future, and you remember that the broomstick you used to extract transformation elements has become an outdated product, this will affect your state of mind and strength."

Harry looked at Zhang Qiu thoughtfully, and he said slowly: "Then how about Wizard's Chess? Ron likes playing Wizard's Chess, and he is confident enough in this regard."

"No, Wizard's Chess is just a pastime. Even if I, I mean, I feel from the bottom of my heart that it's a toy, just like I wouldn't consider using those things from Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes," Ron scratched his scalp in distress, "What I want is something mysterious and powerful enough—the Invisibility Cloak won't work, I must have something that belongs to me."

"Ron has this obsession, he wants to use his own power." Zhang Qiu said in a very approving tone, "I think this is great. This helps him avoid flaws in that regard."

"Then, have you seen any recommendations from your Uncle's memory?" Harry always felt that Zhang Qiu had some answer in her heart, but she just wouldn't say it, "Any element combinations that are quite compatible in alchemy?"

"I know there is such a thing, but I only saw a little bit, and there is nothing related to swords in it. Most of them are Muggle items." Zhang Qiu seemed determined to let Ron think for himself.

"Ah, right, Dumbledore." Ron suddenly had an idea, "Once I think of power, I think of Dumbledore. Didn't Dumbledore leave me a copy of 'The Tales of Beedle the Bard'? How about I use that?"

"This has to be said from two aspects. If you feel that you can borrow power from the story after transformation, that is indeed a good idea." Harry's eyes kept secretly observing Zhang Qiu, "And, do you have any special memories of Beedle the Bard when you were a child?"

He noticed a flash of relief in Zhang Qiu's eyes. Harry thought a lot in this instant. He guessed that Dumbledore had exchanges with Ge Ge Xuan very early on. Dumbledore might also have learned of the existence of the Knight System. No, he must have known. This was a very obvious thing. In the first grade, he found an excuse to send the magic stone to the Heavenly Dynasty. In the second grade, he took out Gawain's armor as a test... The Knight System might have been on Ge Ge Xuan's to-do list for a long time. He only dared to make it completely after isolating Death.

"Of course, the bedtime stories I heard when I was a child were just these." Ron was still unaware and told his train of thought, "The Tales of Beedle the Bard, it was once one of the beautiful memories of my childhood, and this was left to me by Dumbledore. I have always felt that it contains some mysterious power. Dumbledore! Anything involving him will become different. I think this book is a great idea."

However, why is it Ron? Harry was still thinking. Dumbledore's layout in the first grade seemed to be to cultivate Harry, but after Dumbledore left, the Heavenly Dynasty people kept staring at Ron. Does he also have some special quality? Is what Tang Tang Nade said about the Round Table Knight bloodline true? He had always felt that it was just nonsense to coax Ron away from Hermione.

"Let's do it, Harry." Ron grabbed his shoulder impatiently, "Storybook, and sword, the elements I have chosen are these two."

"You never like reading books." Harry said tentatively, "Why don't you think about it again?"

"I just hate textbooks, so I limited it to storybooks!" Ron pouted with dissatisfaction, "I used to love reading those Muggle novels of yours, have you forgotten? Also, the storybook is a relic left to me by Dumbledore. Changing the angle, this is also the positioning and responsibility he gave me. Besides, what if I can borrow the power of the Fountain of Fair Fortune, the Elder Wand, and even the Hairy Heart from the book? This is not a joke!"

Sword and storybook, what special significance does this have? Harry's peripheral vision was locked on Zhang Qiu's face. He saw the corners of Zhang Qiu's mouth rising uncontrollably. But in the end, he agreed to Ron's choice with feigned happiness, based on the idea that Zhang Qiu wouldn't harm anyone.

Early Thursday morning, Ron woke Harry up early.

"I plan to drink Felix Felicis today, and then extract the energy bottle." He said, "Today happens to be the first-year flying class. We can take advantage of the potion's effect and go see if we can pick a good seedling for a Beater."

"Of course, of course, I completely agree with your point of view." Harry let out a breath, "But can we wait until nine o'clock to start all this? Let me lie down for a while..."

When Harry opened his eyes again, he saw Ron with a crazy smile.

"You didn't drink too much, did you?" Harry said with some fear.

"Of course not, I feel great." Ron said confidently, "I only realized now that Zhang Qiu made a very perfect suggestion. I should indeed put the wand in the sword pile. Yes, using the belt to transform into a sword is my specialty. Of course, I should also have my own magic sword."

"That's good." Harry let out a sigh of relief. It seems this is part of fate.

"Now let's prepare to go to flying class." Ron said.

"You have already finished extracting?" Harry widened his eyes all of a sudden, "Did you ask Neville for Gryffindor's sword?"

"Of course, I know we have to be as fast as possible, otherwise we might not make it." Ron grabbed a robe and threw it onto Harry's bed, "Maybe it's not that I know, it's that Felix Felicis knows, but anyway, hurry up."

Fifteen minutes later, when Harry stood at the edge of the lawn, looking at a monster clawing and scratching on the grass, he finally knew why Felix Felicis urged Ron to hurry over.

Ron showed a confident, even slightly arrogant smile, and then he buckled the belt onto his waist without hesitation.

"Saber! Story-book! BraveDragon!"

"Are you Ready?"
