Chapter 431: Call Me Professor Lily
After dinner, Regulus went to the Library.
There were few students at this hour. Most were outside enjoying the warmer weather, while a few older students remained inside studying for their exams.
Madam Pince sat behind the desk, dusting books and keeping an eye on the room.
Regulus took his usual seat at the back, near the window and facing the door.
He opened a worn book titled Forgotten Ancient Magic and the Origin of the Soul. It was from the public shelves, so he did not need access to the Restricted Section.
The book was more like a collection of stories and legends than a serious academic work, but some of its theories caught his attention.
He soon reached a section about ritual magic and soul resonance.
According to the author, ancient wizards could perform certain advanced forms of magic without wands or incantations. Instead, they relied on ritual movements and the power of their souls.
The author gave several examples, including a French hermit who supposedly summoned rain after three days of meditation and an Ottoman astrologer who caused an entire army to become lost in the desert.
