Chapter 331 Borrowing the Magic Eye
Chapter 331 Borrowing the Magic Eye
What Sainz was most curious about beforehand was its "X-ray" function. He tried to test it immediately after putting it on, and the result was just as Dumbledore said, it could not achieve true X-ray vision.
The evil eye turned in Sainz's eye socket and looked behind his head as he commanded.
Well... it's really just like having an eye on the back of your head. It simply increases the field of vision but does not produce "perspective".
The vision behind the brain is the same as when a normal person looks back. You can only see things within the normal line of sight. It does not have the same vision as X-rays or thermal imaging.
Of course, it has some advanced features. It can see the aura of magic items and see through invisibility cloaks, greatly reducing the possibility of being attacked from behind by magic.
After Sainz cast invisibility on himself, he used his magic eyes to see, and the feeling was similar to looking out from inside an invisibility cloak, just like looking at people through a very thin gauze.
It can indeed see people under the invisibility cloak.
Sainz adjusted his casting method and used a different method to release invisibility. This time, the image seen by the magic eye was significantly weakened, like a more advanced illusion spell in the eyes of ordinary people. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it. If you look carefully, you can still see that there is a disguised human figure there.
When Science was studying invisibility, he had two research paths. One path was to use Transfiguration to create a one-piece invisible cloak, and the other path was to study the spells related to invisibility, get rid of the invisible cloak, and cast an "invisibility spell".
The experiment just now showed that his second route was not deep enough and could still be discovered by the Demon Eye.
This situation is not unexpected. Even for the second route, the initial research object is still invisible beasts. It is normal that the invisibility spell developed from this has the characteristics of invisible beasts.
Sainz was not discouraged. Facts had proved that his second route was going pretty well. At least within the sight of the magic eye, the invisibility effect was quite good. He believed that if he continued his research, he would be able to create a more thorough invisibility technique sooner or later.
Detection and counter-detection have always been a pair of spiralling contradictions, promoting and progressing each other.
For example, radar and anti-radar materials.
Invisibility is similar. Invisibility and detecting invisibility are also the spear and shield of a spiral.
The existing magic eyes can see through the related invisibility of the invisible beast's technical route. Sooner or later, a more advanced invisibility method will appear to deceive the magic eyes. Perhaps after that, a new detection method will appear to detect the new invisibility method. Technological progress is achieved through such mutual targeting.
Sainz was happily feeling the various details of the magic eye, carefully distinguishing its materials and the magic that might be used on it, when a group of people came in.
Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, and Sirius Black saw this scene when they entered the room.
"Oh, Autumn!" said Professor McGonagall in surprise. "Your eyes!"
"Don't worry, Minerva," said Dumbledore. "I don't think he would take it that far."
Sainz scanned everyone with his magic eye. The magic wands with the most hidden magic power were undoubtedly the most noticeable in the magic eye, as if they were injected with fluorescent agent. On the contrary, the magic power of the wizards was not particularly revealed. Perhaps it was because this aspect was not considered when it was first made.
He dug the magic eye out of its eye socket, and after a transformation, the original eye reappeared in its original place.
"Hey, professor," he said to the crowd, "since you are here, I will leave first. I am not interested in interrogation... By the way, I am very interested in this magic eye. Please tell Professor Moody that I will borrow it for a few days and return it to him later.
By the way, Professor, I'm going to study it behind closed doors for a few days, so don't worry if you can't find me."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to speak, he nodded to Harry and left.
After leaving, Sainz went straight to the Room of Requirement. Compared to listening to Batistuta's confession, he was indeed more interested in the Magic Eye.
After arriving at the Room of Requirement, Science studied it in seclusion for three days and basically understood its principles. Then he ended his seclusion and came out of the secret room.
"Professor, judging from your expression, it seems that things are not going as you hoped."
"Ah, Sainz, come and sit down," said old Dumbledore, raising his eyebrows. "You hid it very well. Alastor asked me to ask about you at least five times a day."
"Hehe, I have been interested in this magic eye for a long time, you know that."
"Ah... your thirst for knowledge is really..." Dumbledore pinched his brows helplessly, "How come you were sorted into Hufflepuff!"
"Maybe the Sorting Hat is getting senile?" Sainz said teasingly.
The Sorting Hat couldn't stand his words. It interrupted from the shelf behind him, "Slander! Slander! That's what you asked for. Although I am old, I am not confused at all!"
"Haha~" Dumbledore laughed maliciously, and suddenly he became serious again, "That fake Moody is Barty Crouch Jr!"
"I guessed a little bit!"
Dumbledore frowned and said, "He was given the Dementor's Kiss by Fudge, without a trial!
...Hmm...you don't seem too surprised?"
"Unexpected?" Sainz said indifferently, "Maybe a little, maybe not, I just don't care. Besides, judging from Fudge's performance towards you in the past two or three years, such a decision is not very surprising."
"Ah!" Dumbledore seemed a little emotional. "I thought he would consider the overall situation..."
"Professor," Sainz interrupted Old Dumbledore's innocent speech, "maintaining peace in the wizarding world is their 'big picture'."
"He wants me to deny Voldemort's return... He wasn't like this before... Right..." Dumbledore laughed at himself as he spoke, "Ha! You're right!"
"I bet you wouldn't do that..."
As the two were chatting, an anxious voice came up from the spiral staircase, "Dumbledore, Dumbledore, has Autumn come back yet!" followed by the sound of a wooden stick tapping the ground.
"Professor Moody," Sainz said to the door, "I'm here, and I'm going to look for you after visiting Professor Dumbledore."
Moody's figure quickly appeared from the stairs. As soon as he came in, he noticed the magic eye placed on Dumbledore's desk. After seeing the magic eye, he was not in a hurry anymore, "Hello, Professor Autumn!"
Sainz looked at the real Moody and felt deeply moved. Barty Crouch Jr. really had a talent for acting. Whether it was his behavior or his words and expressions, his disguise was almost perfect in every aspect.
He extended his hand and said, "Hello, Professor Moody! I'm sorry to have taken your magic eye for three days without your consent. If there is a chance, please let me treat you to a meal to express my apology."
"It's okay." Moody stretched out his hand and shook hands with Sainz. "I also want to thank you for saving my life. Dumbledore has already told me that you were the first to discover the doubts."
"You're too polite. Dumbledore would have been able to do it even without me!"
