Chapter 228: Soul Monster in the Forest (3)
These dangerous dementors reminded Xie An of a dream he once had. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info For a long time, Xie An's thought it was because he hadn't rested for too long, and that dream was actually an illusion. A fighter, living in a dangerous situation for a long time, can easily develop post-traumatic stress syndrome. This situation is especially obvious for the Doomsday Warriors who have been on the verge of life and death for a long time.
Once you get used to killing and hurting, killing and hurting becomes an instinct, and when you solve the problem, you can't help but think: kill them all, pull out your wand, and cast an Avada Curse on them. Such a situation would be extremely dangerous for both Muggles and wizards.
In that dream, there were some completely incomprehensible things, some about Xie An's memories of his previous life, and some about the world of magic wizards, and finally in the dream, Xie An saw a huge tree, a huge tree that had never been seen before and was eroded by darkness.
Xie An has never been able to comprehend this dream, and there are also visions of Dementors. At the time, Xie An didn't know about the Dementors, but now that he thought about it, the Dementors in the dream were different from any Dementors Xie An had ever seen, and seemed to be more dangerous and more difficult to approach.
Through the news transmitted by the puppet, the Dementors in the Forbidden Forest have nothing to do with the Ministry of Magic. Since the puppet can only transmit very few messages, Xie An has no way to judge whether there are other possibilities.
After thinking about it for a long time and not coming up with any conclusions, Xie An no longer wasted time on this, but began to study the magic that he had learned with Queen Anne during this time.
During this time, Queen Anne taught Xie An a lot of magic that he had never seen before, and these magic were very magical. How exactly the magic came about, even Queen Anne couldn't answer exactly. In the past, Queen Anne's sect still had some magic books that had been passed down, but when Queen Anne broke through the limit of witches and became a demigod creature, and then looked back at those books, Queen Anne already understood that there were also many fallacies in those ancient inheritances.
Galaxy magic is a magic invented by Queen Anne herself by being trapped in the fault line of time. In a time fault, time has no beginning and no end. Queen Anne's greatest wish was to see the beautiful starry sky again. Queen Mary confined the entire time fault to a small range, and Queen Anne had no way to see the starry sky, so she could only rely on her own magic to slowly transform, summon, and even construct stars out of thin air. This process lasted for a hundred years, and finally on the same afternoon as before, Queen Anne suddenly understood something, her understanding of magic was completely different, as if she had gone from a small room to an open outdoor and saw the stars again. On that day, Queen Anne first came up with the idea of galaxy magic.
Perhaps it was Queen Anne's own indomitable morality, or perhaps her infinite yearning for the bright starry sky, Queen Anne finally relied on the magic of the galaxy to break through the most critical step. The lifespan of a wizard is not unlimited. If you can't break through the limits of wizards, even wizards like Deng Liduo will face a visit from the Grim Reaper within a few hundred springs and autumns. Queen Anne, who was in the fault line of time, had already reached the limit of her life, and by the breakthrough at the last moment, the essence of her life was sublimated, from an ordinary witch to a unique life form. The magic not only transformed her body, but even her soul changed dramatically.
Queen Anne once spoke about the reason why Horcruxes were not accepted by those powerful wizards. The Soul Sect has studied the souls of countless wizards, and the Horcrux is also a result of the Soul Sect. After the soul of a wizard is torn, it will be in pain forever, and more importantly, the tearing of the Horcrux may cut off the possibility of further growth of the wizard's ability.
The soul tearing process in the process of making a horcrux is difficult to control, and once the soul is torn, it may not only bring about the loss of memory, but also directly lead to the direct loss of the potential of some wizards. Of course, without knowing that there might be a better path, the only side effect of choosing a Horcrux to achieve immortality seems to be the need to endure the pain of a burning soul tearing all the time, the soul itself may cry, and the twisted will of Voldemort may think that this is necessary. Pain is the source of strength.
Voldemort should have discovered the shortcomings of the Horcrux by now, and although his magic power is still increasing, in some other ways, I am afraid that it is already going downhill.
Many wizards are not aware of this, and of course, wizards like Dumbledore or Gellert Grindelwald certainly know how Horcruxes work. But none of them chose such a method, so it has to be said that the wizard's understanding of the soul.
As mentioned before, the Soul Sect is now very bleak, but this sect was once one of the most important legacies of wizards, who believed in the existence of souls, so they could accept death with ease.
Like wizards like Dumbledore, most of them believe that death is only the beginning of a new journey for the soul, and in such a situation, wizards who are unwilling to embark on a new journey into the unknown will of course appear cowardly and lack courage.
Those ghosts who do not want to leave have become the mark of the real world. But for Xie An, countless times he has seen life completely vaporized by the "end times", and the only thing left is a weirdly distorted black scorch mark, and some even leave nothing.
Seeing countless powerful apocalyptic weapons that easily killed all the lives in the entire city, Xie An always wondered, light as a life like dust, was their so-called soul really that precious?
Think about it, if the soul is really constantly circulating in the world, then from the ancient wizard era to the present world, the number of wizards has decreased by nine layers, where have the souls of these disappeared wizards gone?
From a Muggle point of view, the total number of Muggles is constantly increasing, and if every Muggle needs a precious soul, and these souls are uniquely recycled, then there must be a place where all souls are born, and new souls are constantly being created there.
As a doomsday warrior, Xie An once saw the destruction of a country with his own eyes, hundreds of millions of people were easily erased from the surface of the earth by the "doomsday", and the entire continent became a dead land, with radiation and fire being the only ones on the earth.
From the history of Muggles, it seems that by the present day, when the population of each era is combined, at least 80 billion lives have been born and then died. And in the apocalyptic era where Xie An lived, the number of human beings was even more numerous, exceeding 10 billion. In such a situation, it is difficult to believe that the soul of each wizard is special and not completely blindly self-invented.
The Soul Sect once had the so-called Life Box, a kind of witchcraft that was the predecessor of the Horcrux. This type of witchcraft is said to be used by sorcerers in Africa until now.
She's kept his soul intact, but the picture of hell in his mind made him experience the burning of his soul all the time.
This situation has existed since Xie An was born in this wizarding world, and he has followed Xie An for more than ten years. The picture of hell is the source of the power of destruction, and the source of Shea'an's doomsday power. It took more than ten years for Xie An to combine magic with the power of destruction and become the magic of doom.
Queen Anne couldn't do anything about the side effects of this magic power, and the only thing that comforted Xie An was that when she reached the realm of Queen Anne, she was no longer afraid of this soul-burning feeling, nor was she afraid of the apocalyptic picture. If he wanted to get out of this terrible state, Xie An could only hope that he would be able to reach the realm of a demigod in the future.
The road of 10,000 miles begins at your feet. Queen Anne regarded Xie An as her heir, and during this time, she taught Xie An a lot of magical knowledge. It's a pity that galaxy magic is not suitable for Xie An, Xie An can only work hard to learn those spells, hoping that through the spells he can quickly improve his strength.
Magic is the root of witchcraft, and spells are the moves of witchcraft.
Dormitories are not suitable for the use of powerful magic, which can be detected by the magical enchantment at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There's no way to do it in the attic, and you may still be alerted by the enchantment. In the past, Xie An went to the Forbidden Forest, but today Principal Deng Liduo has just announced the ban, and going to the Forbidden Forest at this time may encounter unnecessary trouble.
Xie An thought about it, and originally wanted to see if the school's legendary Bing Room would provide him with a suitable place to practice. Xie An came out of the dormitory, and happened to meet Michael and others who returned to the dormitory, Xie An casually made an excuse and walked out of the common room. Seeing the magic stone sculpture with a human face and a lion body, looking at himself vigilantly, Xie An suddenly remembered something.
After turning a few moving stairs to a dead-end hallway, Xie An took out his wand, and an eerie gray mist quickly enveloped Xie An's surroundings, and Xie An rummaged through his Mok bag before finally finding a golden key.
This is a reward for passing through the Ravenclaw Hidden Level, a special Portkey that leads to the Candidate's Trials. After the Land of Trials was built, it was abandoned before it could be used due to the disagreement of the four founders and the occurrence of some other tragic events. Lord Rowena Ravenclaw, the original proposer of the Trials, did not want the creation, which had cost the four founders so much effort, to be abandoned, so he made this portkey.
Shea didn't know if any wizards had ever discovered the key before, but according to the four Town Keepers, he was the first and only Hogwarts student of magic to enter the Trials Lands.
Shea learns a lot of witchcraft in the Land of Trials, and agrees to the four Keepers to protect Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After coming out of the Land of Trials, Xie An's magic power has soared, and it has almost reached the level of a third-rate battle wizard, and it is not a problem to deal with ordinary adult wizards.
After that, due to various things, Xie An never returned to the trial, and at this time, thinking of the spell to contact Queen Anne, Xie An remembered this place again.
There was a flash of light, and Shea was already in a hall like the Great Hall of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Directly in front of the hall are four huge chairs. The backs of the four chairs were engraved with the symbolic animals of the four schools, and when Xie An arrived, four huge creatures came to life.
"Candidate, here you are again, are you ready to accept the next stage of the trial, judging from the magic fluctuations emanating from your body, your magic power has indeed increased a lot this time, and you should be qualified to learn the next stage of magic. "The time of the trial space is completely different from the outside world, although a long time has passed in the outside world, it seems that only a short period of time has passed in the trial space.
"Lord Gryffindor, I'm not here for the next part of the trial, but I need a quiet and suitable place to connect with my newfound magic. Xie An said to the lion.
"Oh, newly-learned magic, it's hard to believe that there is any magic worth learning from you than our heritage, can you show us what you call new magic?" the silver snake hissed, with a hint of arrogance in his tone, of course, it has such qualifications, Salazar Slytherin's secret room inheritance, created Voldemort.
"Of course, can you help me find a suitable place?" Xie An didn't seem to hear the arrogance of the silver snake's tone, and said calmly.
"It's okay here, this place was originally used for candidates to fight, but unfortunately you are the only candidate now. The badger said.
Xie An summoned a strange wand half a meter long out of thin air. In the real world, this wand can only be obtained through the combined transformation of the poplar wand and the Fuso wood wand, but in the trial space, it can be summoned, and of course, the effect of the wand seems to have disappeared.
A wand with a strange pattern floated around Xie An, who closed his eyes slightly, slowly brewing magic.
"Well, he doesn't seem to be using the latest wand, but a more traditional one. "The four keepers are magical creations created by the four founders of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, their consciousness and memory are instilled by the four founders respectively, at the beginning of the establishment of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, wands were not as unified as they are now, although wizards began to use and make wands in BC, but in fact, the complete unity of wands, and now this short wand has become mainstream, is only a recent thing.
In the past, wizards used to rely on magic wands to do a lot of things, and in order to preserve and use magic wands, general magic wands were made of relatively strong materials, and various spells would be attached to them. In the past, wands were made of wood, animal bones, dragon horns, rare magical metals, and even natural precious gemstones, all of which could become unique wands.
However, these wands have been replaced by wooden wands with simple materials and easy to make over time. In order to compensate for the lack of magic affinity of the wooden wand, the wizard added the so-called wand core to the original wand.
You can still cast spells even with your bare hands, and the wand acts as an amplifier.
After Xie An's wand is transformed, he can cast more magic. The wand floated around Xie An, and as Xie An's magic continued to be infused, the space around him began to fluctuate.
"Don't use this magic, I already know what it does. Eagle said. This magic is very simple, and by harmonizing the frequency of the magic, it can affect the stability of the surrounding space, and if used appropriately, it is a very powerful area of effect magic.
Hearing the eagle's words, Xie An stopped casting the spell, the half-meter-long wand could not be pinched in his hand like other magic wands, Xie An directly controlled the wand through magic power, and crossed the mysterious trajectory in the air, an invisible hand waved the magic wand, Xie An's chanting spell, a huge unicorn composed of magic appeared in front of Xie An with flames all over his body.
"There's something about this magic, it seems to be similar to the Patronus spell, but it's different. The lion said.
"Does it have attack power?" asked the Silver Serpent. Xie An nodded.
"Let it attack me and I'll try. Xie An commanded the unicorn to attack the Silver Serpent with his will. The unicorn spewed flames from its nose, and its eyes were red as it looked at the huge silver snake, leaping high, its head slightly bent, and its long sword-like horns stabbed at the silver snake.
The silver snake unhurriedly summoned the shield in snake language, and the unicorn's long horns pierced the shield, but it couldn't be pierced. One blow failed, the unicorn jumped back a few times, pulled the distance, the weird magic patterns up and down the body all lit up, the burning flame also changed from red to white, a sharp leap, as if the teleportation moved, the unicorn became transparent and stabbed on the shield again, this time the shield was easily broken, the silver snake was slightly surprised, after the shield was broken, the silver snake's eyes flashed, and the unicorn was directly imprisoned in place.
"Yes, you can force out Salazar's natural skills, the power of your magic is already very strong. The lion said.
"But it's still blocked, isn't it?" Xie An said with some dissatisfaction.
"Candidate, you may not know that Salazar's natural skill, the Serpent King's gaze, is an extremely prominent skill, and it is said that even the gods can imprison it, let alone your summons. Helga Hufflepuff badger said.
"Helga, don't say that, my talent is very powerful, but it is far from being as powerful as you say. Salazar Silver Serpent said, "As for you, Trialist, can you tell me where you learned this magic?" I am very curious, this magic of yours is no less powerful than the Patronus spell, and even more powerful than the Patronus spell in terms of attack. ”
"The magic that this magic summons is usually a fighting creature. As for who taught me, I really can't tell the four. But I can assure you that the magic I practiced was all in preparation for the future protection of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. ”
The four Townsfolk looked at each other, and the Ravenclaw Eagle nodded, saying, "You can practice these spells here, but be sure to let us watch." ”
