Chapter 384: Pretending to be real

~10 min read 1,813 words

That night, after Ron repeated his extraordinary performance and the magical effect of Felix Felicis for the twelfth time, Harry got his private time to go to bed. However, he was not sleepy. Instead, he put his hand under the pillow and thought carefully about this series of things.

Last year, Zhang Qiu let slip a few times that Ge Ge Xuan seemed to feel a bit sorry for the things that happened in Tranzero, so he wanted to plan to make up for Harry. And this year, Zhang Qiu's various abnormal performances, as well as the many oddities of the Knight System, naturally led Harry's thoughts here.

Zhang Qiu's Uncle—now I don't know his name, let's call him Uncle for now—he should have had the idea of making the Knight System very early on. And the core of the Knight System is the magic stone. By converting magic power into spirit, and then using spirit to amplify magic power, emotional resonance, etc., it can be said that the reason why the Knight System didn't become a joke like Tang Tang Nade's magic version of Iron Man armor lies in this point. It can help the transformer exert power far beyond their own magic power level. It must be said that this is a genius conception.

Harry turned over. He soon thought of the Patronus Charm and Dark Magic. These all rely on spirit to amplify the power of spells. In fact, the principles of the whole system are easy to understand. Its complexity is still reflected in the technology.

He turned his thoughts back. In the first grade, Harry thought the magic stone was just Dumbledore's compensation for accidentally involving Zhang Qiu in the test, but looking back now, perhaps he had promised to send a magic stone to the Heavenly Dynasty at that time, but it just happened that he could set up a level-breaking game for his students before sending it out.

However, judging from Dumbledore's design of the magic stone, he might have wanted to cultivate himself. This is a thing that makes Harry feel confused. Why did the Heavenly Dynasty people start cultivating Ron?

Perhaps, just like that level-breaking game, if you know it is a test, a kind of tempering, then it won't play the role of a test or tempering. They know he is very smart, perhaps it is easy to see this point, and it just so happens that the Knight System needs sincere feelings to be better stimulated. Right, this is easy to understand. Ron is obviously a child who doesn't like to use his brain, and he is also easier to be hooked by the emotions in the designed script.

Harry had a vague guess about this point from the beginning. Zhang Qiu very likely knew everything from the beginning, but she had to tell Ron bit by bit. This is naturally also to guide his emotions. Even the Seven Deadly Sins might be in the calculations of the Heavenly Dynasty people. When Harry first used this set of knives and swords, he felt that it was just cheating in the competition and didn't need to reach this level. But looking at the power of Ron's transformation today, the dragon element of the Dragon of Courage is obviously derived from it. They must have fused the most ferocious dragon blood into the Seven Deadly Sins.

At present, Harry hasn't figured out what mystery Dumbledore hid in the storybook, but the book must also be the result of a transaction between him and the Heavenly Dynasty people. Right, transaction. Ge Ge Xuan using the Yama Post to extend Dumbledore's life is very likely also a transaction exchanged for the magic stone.

At this moment, Harry felt that the clouds and filters covering his eyes dissipated. Ge Ge Xuan was no longer a mysterious Oriental big shot, his actions and thoughts were also traceable.

The next day, Harry deliberately asked Zhang Qiu out to watch the moon in front of Ron. This worked, Ron cursed and packed his things back to the dormitory. He must have thought the two wanted to find an opportunity to kiss.

"You shouldn't want to watch the moon, but have something to say, right?" Zhang Qiu looked at Harry with a slight wry smile.

"Right, I think I have the right to know, are you preparing to set a trap to cultivate Ron, and was that Striker released by Sugemi?" Harry asked straight to the point.

"No." Zhang Qiu sighed, "To some extent, we belong to pretending to be real."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked with a trace of suspicion.

"In the initial plan, we considered it this way: bring Ron to choose energy bottles during the summer vacation and help him complete a transformation." Zhang Qiu confessed in a very straightforward tone, "After school starts, my Uncle will become the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, secretly releasing Strikers while teaching Ron to continuously develop the Knight System, ultimately making him the strongest Knight."

"Then what is the problem now?" Harry frowned and asked.

"The main reason for the quarrel between my Uncle and Master is because Master decided to sell the Knight System to Yanayev." Zhang Qiu sighed, "And, not only selling it to Yanayev, he also sold it to the White House—maybe others, I can only be sure of these two. In this way, our plan was completely disrupted."

"That is to say, today's Striker might have been released by foreign forces?" Harry subconsciously chose to believe, because this sounded completely in line with the interests of the Heavenly Dynasty.

"Right, maybe one of the buyers is testing whether the Ministry of Magic or Hogwarts has also bought the Knight System." Zhang Qiu rubbed her face helplessly, "I don't know what to do either. Now I can only choose to believe Ron."

"You mean to continue to stabilize him, let him think he is going to become a hero, and you will replace your Uncle, in short, still have to set a trap to cultivate him into the strongest Knight." Harry felt it was full of difficulties just thinking about it, "But why? Why do you believe that Ron can really become the strongest Knight?"

"Because he really has talent." Zhang Qiu nodded deeply, "His talent actually comes from the training he received in the second grade. When he himself feels that he can become a medieval knight, magic power will follow his wish and begin to combine with muscles and fists and feet, which gives him the talent to become the strongest Kamen Rider."

"That is to say, actually anyone, as long as they believe, they have talent?" Harry felt it was unbelievable. He had never thought that Ron's talent came from his unique experience rather than bloodline.

"In a sense, yes, which also means Neville also has very good Knight talent." Zhang Qiu pinched her clothes corner with some embarrassment, "Originally Master wanted to cultivate him to be, um... but because of the relationship between the two of us, in the end, I still fought for this quota for Ron."

"Quota?"

"It's the protagonist of the cultivation plan."

Harry felt that he basically understood the whole picture of the matter. Indeed, his reasoning last night was generally correct, but because of the change in Ge Ge Xuan's thinking, the development of the situation began to exceed Zhang Qiu's control.

"But there is one more point, I think your Master wouldn't be without any overall view, right?" Harry asked, "Out of what consideration did he sell the Knight System?"

"Maybe it's to improve it with the help of others' power." Zhang Qiu also seemed to only have a half-understanding, "Indeed, our development of it has basically fallen into a bottleneck, and we need some user feedback or other people's ideas and the like."

After a period of silence, Harry sighed.

"Indeed, this is not your fault, your original intention is also good," he said helplessly, "And the current situation is actually not completely unacceptable. Ron still has hope of becoming the strongest Knight, which can be considered pretending to be real."

"Then what are you going to say to Ron?" Zhang Qiu asked.

"Follow your train of thought." Harry looked at her, "I think the situation problem can be told the truth, and it is also natural. Besides, as long as the original plan is not mentioned, the current situation is also quite crisis-ridden, which should be able to mobilize Ron's emotions."

"And as for the usage of the Knight System, you continue to squeeze toothpaste." Harry spread his hands, "Wait until you think he can start the next step, and then pretend that you 'found new instructions from Uncle's memory'."

"I really didn't lie to you about this." Zhang Qiu said with some grievance, "I am really looking for it! It is true that because I have entered his memory once and heard the plan several times, I can still remember some things, but before I guide Ron, I must open the memory and read it once! And he really gave me the out-of-order ones, which tired me to death!"

"Sorry, sorry," Harry felt he said the wrong thing, "I shouldn't have mentioned this. Oh right, by the way, do you have any understanding of that Professor Sugemi?"

"Ah this, I only know that the correct pronunciation of his name is Tsugami Shouichi." Zhang Qiu scratched her head with some embarrassment, "And he himself seems to only know this point. He has amnesia."

"Amnesia?" Harry pointed to the top of his head, "What is Snape doing? He uses a person with amnesia to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and also lied to us that he is a retired Auror?"

"As for this, I actually think his class is okay. Anyway, everyone's self-study ability is very strong, and originally didn't expect the professor of this course to stay for long," Zhang Qiu said in an indifferent tone, "Although he has amnesia, he is indeed an Auror. Well, no matter what, it won't be worse than Quirrell."

"Alright, I think we have also opened up the words now." Harry patted the grass on his body and stood up, "I just don't like the feeling of being kept in the dark. You really told me, I am actually also in favor of and willing to cooperate—I am of course also very happy to see my good friend grow into a powerful enough hero little by little."

"Then are you ready to go back?" Zhang Qiu didn't get up.

"Ah?"

"Since the words are finished, can we really watch the moon for a while?" She patted the grass beside her playfully.

"The moon today is not round either." Although Harry said so, his body had already sat down beside her honestly. ===== CHAPTER 385 =====
