Chapter 77 Answering readers' questions 020521
1. Regarding the Patronus Charm, didn't Voldemort have the firm determination to protect his position?
The author may not have written it clearly here. The meaning of protection must be "protecting others".
.
2. Is wandless casting something that only great wizards can do?
No. In the Ouagadou School in Africa, most students can cast spells without wands. There must be a secret behind it. Perhaps most people in the UK don't know what the secret is, but the background of the protagonist is not comparable to other little wizards. Another exception is little Tom, who could cast spells without wands before he entered school (when he was in the orphanage)
Moreover, readers don't have to worry too much about the problem of wandless casting causing the power system to collapse, because the effect of wandless casting is far inferior to that of casting with a wand. Even as strong as Dumbledore and Voldemort would not dare to duel without a wand.

3. Translation of Place Cachée (French Wizard Commercial Street)
Reader "Mr. Yang囧" thinks it is called a hidden place because of the persecution of wizards in medieval Europe.
First of all, I have to explain that Cachée means concealed in French, not hiding. Second, Place means place, but it also means a path or a trail.
The author thinks that the free translation "hidden trail" is more appropriate, and the name "secret wizard trail" sounds better.

4. Snakes have no eyelids and cannot be closed by the eye disease curse?
First of all, thank you readers "Crazy Blood Dance 2" and "Shang Sa" for asking questions.
The author must admit that when he first wrote it, he did not think of this section.
But as a responsible author, the author specially checked the multimedia e-book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" published in 2017. The illustrations in it were completed by Olivia Lomenech Gill, which is an officially recognized book. According to the above illustrations, the author can clearly see that the basilisk has eyelids, and the author can guarantee that this is not nonsense.

5. About the protagonist and the family's choice to give up revenge:
Reader "booklist001": So you just endure it? He can do something to you, but your family doesn't have the ability to retaliate. Will your family be divided up by the purebloods next?
Reader "Dead Curse Warlock": Kill quietly. .
First of all, the author explains the current game situation. The alliance of the Malfoy family includes five families: Malfoy, Goyle, Corab, Burke, and Parkinson; the other side has seven families: Lestrange, Nott, Avery, Carrow, Selwyn, Yaxley, and Rowe. On the surface, the other side looks stronger, but it is not a real alliance. Many of them (such as Nott, Avery, and Carrow) are just waving flags and shouting, wanting to add insult to injury to the Malfoy family. After all, under the light of the protagonist, if they are not suppressed, the Malfoy family will really rise, which is something no one wants to see.
It can be said that the Malfoy family is the strongest family among them. It is precisely because Malfoy is too strong that other families have united.
Suppressing them a little is fine, but it is impossible to divide the Malfoy family. This situation is called "game stalemate", neither side can do anything to the other side. The Malfoy family has five families in its alliance; the other side has seven families, but they have not really formed an alliance, but only cooperated temporarily to suppress the Malfoys. (Just imagine the nuclear prisoner's dilemma)
As for why not retaliate quietly, of course I want to! But I have to wait for the right time, and the other side must be on guard at this time.
Besides, didn't the author write that revenge is best served cold (that is, the longer the revenge is delayed, the better the taste).
Thank you for your questions. Having questions means that you read the book carefully. By the way, I will not reply to discussions that are not related to the content of the novel.
