Grindelwald took Tom to watch Mo Fei keep repairing the orphanage.
He told Tom a lot of mysteries about Castle Magic.
Castle Magic is actually a branch of Ritual Magic, which is mainly used to protect castles.
You know, at the beginning, the living conditions of wizards were far from that superior. They faced many threats, including threats from Muggle, threats from magical creatures, and many unknown dangers, so the castle where they lived became their last refuge.
Therefore, the protection of the castle is a top priority.
Nowadays, many of Pure-blood families's magics that protect the ancestral home are extended from this.
Since it is a branch of Ritual Magic, that is to say, the castle itself is a huge ritual disk, and the builder or owner will add many ideas to it according to their own ideas--
Some are to attack the invaders, some are to connect all the blood descendants, and some are the last chance. When the family is about to be destroyed, the family will protect the last heir until the last trace of power is exhausted...
Different Castle Magic will bring different effects.
The only pity is that the castle's own carrying capacity is limited, and various elements cannot be added to it indefinitely. Otherwise, according to the cautious character of many wizards, the castle may become like an explosive bag...
Castle Magic explained by Grindelwald is based on isolation from the outside world.
If you want to achieve this, you must continuously strengthen the castle with various profound isolation spells and let them penetrate into every inch of the castle's floor tiles.
Muggle-Repelling Charm, the effect of this spell can achieve a very strong effect.
The expulsion spell used by ordinary Auror can make Muggle subconsciously ignore the existence here. Even if they want to get close, many thoughts will suddenly arise. The most important thing is that if they are not paying attention, they can't even see the specific place...
And if this magic were to advance further, it would be even more terrifying.
They will be completely separated from Muggle's thoughts. Even if they see this place, they don't know where it is.
That spell will completely turn this place into a place Muggle cannot imagine.
Owl-Repelling Charm has a similar effect. Many wizard families will set up such magic in their own homes, which will prevent the owl from finding its specific location.
If you advance further, many magical creatures will not find this place at all...
If such magic continues to accumulate, this place will completely become an island of psychological cognition.
This is just the part that is on the outside, there is something more important -
The castle itself has also been reinforced with a large number of strengthening spells. It looks like ordinary marble, but if you really touch it, these stones are stronger than steel. At the same time, these stones can also conduct some attack power to the earth...
Such defense is also a defensive measure.
Also, he will place a lot of portraits in the corridor of Nurmengard. Those portraits are different from the magic paintings in Hogwarts or Pure-blood families. They are not portraits of wizards.
Instead, they are just the simplest oil paintings. The only difference is that Grindelwald connects those paintings with the castle itself.
The Dark Magic fluctuations inside, or various extreme emotions and magic powers, will be absorbed by the portrait, and then become the last resort.
If someone is really bold enough to dare to start a battle with Grindelwald in the castle, what awaits him may be the impact of the powerful Dark Magic in countless portraits. No matter how powerful the wizard is, he may instantly lose his ability to resist...
Piece by piece, piece by piece, Grindelwald combined Mo Fei's thoughts and told them all to Tom.
Tom was absorbed quickly, and he also had his own understanding of Castle Magic.
Mo Fei also listened to a lot, but he couldn't use many of the things in it. In the end, he just made some adjustments and optimizations to his original design.
However, because of Grindelwald's participation, Mo Fei's progress has been much faster.
Many areas that needed to be modified became very easy in the hands of Grindelwald.
With a wave of the magic wand, a decoration carved from stone appeared in front of him.
It has to be said that Mo Fei is not very envious of Grindelwald's strength, but the convenience of magic really makes him yearn for it. With such ability, any physical work will be much easier~
(Grindelwald: Huh?)
While helping Mo Fei repair, he also helped improve some Runes corrections.
It was originally planned to take two months, but in fact, it was completely completed in just one month.
The final result is also very satisfying to Mo Fei.
First of all, overall, the orphanage does not seem to have changed much, but visually, the house has indeed become larger.
The entire house of the orphanage has been enlarged, mainly in the backyard, and it has been expanded a lot to the outside.
The stables that were once used to raise cows were completely decommissioned at this time and have now been turned into greenhouses where some rare plants can be grown.
A large area of backyard land is now planted with a lot of improved food, in order to prevent future food shortages caused by war.
In some corners of the front yard and backyard, some special plants suddenly appeared. These plants may seem inconspicuous, but when combined with the outer walls of the orphanage, they appear somewhat mysterious.
Looking at the house as a whole, there are a lot of graffiti-like decorations on the facade, but it doesn't look messy at all. Instead, it gives the orphanage a bit more childlike charm.
And if someone could see it from a high altitude, the entire orphanage would become a little special.
It is like an eye, and the position of the pupil is the main body of the house. Combined with those special graffiti, it feels like the eyes are gradually opening and looking at something...
The strength of the orphanage was only achieved through the efforts of Tom and Grindelwald.
They used a lot of magic to ensure that there would be no major problems with the walls of the orphanage within ten years.
Grindelwald also taught this reinforcement magic to Tom, and its name is Hardening Charm.
Even if many wizards see it, they will ignore it. After all, making the wall stronger has no meaning to them.
However, this magic also has some other effects on Tom who understands Castle Magic.
The transformation of the orphanage is not only external, there are even bigger changes inside.
In order to give the children more space, Mo Fei chose to divide the original space and give everyone their own room.
But now, the little ones have grown up, and it is visible to the naked eye that only Tom lives there permanently, so he changed the room again.
The second floor is still the living area, but the original room for the little ones has once again become a small room for two people. The rooms of Tom and Mo Fei are larger and are also rare independent rooms...
The first floor is the area where guests, study, Meditation, kitchen, and other trivial matters are located.
This time, due to repairs, he directly dug a basement to store some things, such as some magic-related objects, food, etc...
This basement covering the entire orphanage was completed with the help of Grindelwald...
After the completion, the cool environment made Tom feel like he was back in Slytherin's cellar, so he decisively asked for a space here and built a laboratory of his own...
As for what is inside, Mo Fei has not gone in to see it.
On the night when all the renovations were completed in the orphanage, when the first rays of moonlight and starlight came down, the orphanage seemed to be shining in a veil of soft light...
Many people are instantly unaware of the orphanage.
