Chapter 141
Desley is here, will Lily and James be far away?
Gail suddenly felt a sense of crisis about the time that passed between his fingers. For the first time, he realized that he had been fifteen years old as Gail, a man with magical experiences, before he knew it.
In the beginning, he longed for immortality, hoping that he could enjoy life and witness time for a longer time. But now, rather than reading a long eternity alone, with Severus's company, it seemed that for a second Gale would be intoxicated with it as if it were forever, and that the years would be like a snap of his fingers, and that he would be gone away before he had time to reminisce.
That's an exaggeration. Gail's memory is actually pretty good, he can clearly tell the moments he had with Severus, and he remembers the throbbing and shyness.
If someone were to ask Gail a sensational question like "what is happiness?" now, then Gail's answer would probably be a sensual answer like "I'm happy with Seaver".
Because of this, after listening to Lily complain about Penny's teenage pregnancy and spring, Gail felt that it was time to put Severus's longevity on the agenda.
The founder's manor, Gale is bothering Godric again. Although Godric may seem big and aggressive, he is one of the people who once performed great miracles, and he is also the ancestor of Gael's and the teacher of Severus.
"Oh, didn't I even sue you?" Godric smiled innocently when he listened to Gail's question.
"Sue me for what?" Gale felt that Godric's next words must be a little underwhelming, which is why he showed such an expression instead of being straightforward.
"In fact, when you get eternity, you're going to get out of here." Godric said, "The little guy named Nikolai and his wife did not receive eternity. In fact, they just used a little trick to steal time from others. This is his reward for taking the research at hand to the extreme. ”
"What?" Gail was confused, completely unaware of what Godric was talking about.
"Okay, okay, let me start from the beginning, but it's long, I'll sit down and listen." Godric was about to start telling the story.
"Well, I don't have any other plans for today anyway." Gail sunk himself into the soft, comfortable couch and waited for Godric to tell him a story.
In fact, Godric in the portrait inherits all of Godric's memories and emotions, reason and way of thinking, so he clearly tells Gale how the world came to be.
"Godric......" Gail interjected softly after listening to about five minutes of "There was nothing dark before the world was formed."
"What?" Godric motioned for Gale to ask a question.
"I know how the world is formed. Remember the last time you advanced in the Central Hall? I saw it, just as I lost my mind. ”
"Okay, let's skip that paragraph." It's rare to have a docile junior to listen to his story, but Gale already knows, which makes Godric a little regretful.
So Godric skipped the origin of the world, the development of magic, and began to recall his good life. Gale listened patiently as Godric grew from an honest and brave second-year boy to a man who stood side by side with his friends against the oppression and pressure of the Holy See and established Hogwarts to protect young wizards who did not yet know how to use magic.
To be honest, Godric's language skills are good, and the ups and downs between the beginning and the end make Gale listen to it with relish. But when it came to the founding of the school, Godric turned the conversation directly to himself because he and the other three founders broke through barriers and left the planet.
"At the time, Godric, I mean he himself was aware of something. If you do anything to the extreme, it will have the same effect, eternity. ”
Gail's expression wasn't particularly good at this point, which made Godric remain silent after he had finished speaking.
"Gail?" Godric called out after a moment's pause, bringing Gale back to his senses.
"I'm sorry, I just think there are too many slots and I don't know where to start complaining!" Gail waved his hand, "Hindu mythology says that the world was created by Brahma born from golden lotus seeds, Chinese mythology says that Pangu opened the heavens and the earth from lotus seeds, and materialist physics says that the Big Bang of the universe at the origin of the world began to originate from an atom. Gale snapped his fingers and counted the jumbled creations.
"Yes, does this have anything to do with what I told you just now?" Godric didn't know how Gale had started telling these old stories.
"I just suddenly felt like a fool with a capital letter! When I used that piece of jade to officially start my cultivation and study, I really didn't expect that I would have a dark day under the lights! Gail smiled, "Three thousand avenues can be sanctified." That's what you mean by extreme, right? ”
"Yes. There was a cook, who seemed to be a small country to the east, who was so good at cutting cattle that he must have gone somewhere else. Based on Godric's account, Gale guessed that he was talking about the Cooks.
"Then why did Nicolame only get something like eternal life instead of leaving here like the founders?"
"Because he took a shortcut." Godric's face darkened, "His life is the reward for stealing someone else's time." Of course, he will pay for this qiē. ”
"Absorb and transform? Was it the Black Death? Or was it the Crusades that ended dismally? Gale could probably guess what Godric meant. There is no such thing as a free lunch, so how can one stone live forever?
"My guess is that since he's stealing other people's time, he's going to have to pay something else to use it. Five senses or feelings. ”
"What's the difference between that and dead?" Is it different from death to not feel joy or sorrow, not to have a sense of justice or compassion, not to taste delicious food, not to smell the fragrance of blooming flowers, or even to feel the wind, rain, frost and snow?
"Is he still or isn't he?" Godric shrugged his shoulders indifferently, not at all feeling that Nicolamay's mercy was to be pitied for. "Since the beginning of the world, there have been countless people who have sought eternal life and power, in a variety of ways, and in the end they have all received equal to their efforts. To be honest, I didn't expect you to see the origin of the world so soon. "I didn't expect Severus to use his talent to the extreme because of you.
"So, you mean, as long as Severus continues to study potions, or any kind of drug research, and uses his talents to the fullest, he will be able to end up like me?"
"People with strong magic live longer, and I thought this well-known thing in the wizarding world was already a good example." Godric made this clear.
"It's all nonsense!" Gail folded his arms in discontent, feeling that his time had been wasted.
"It's not like that, people don't always see the obvious." Godric felt that he had made it clear enough, and hoped that Gale would stop dwelling on it, and that time would prove anyway. But then, he remembered something, "Oh, yes! In my study, you can look for a way for two people to work together to promote each other, and this is with that stone...... Well, jade - all together. I tried a few things with Sal, but probably the system was different and didn't work very well. You can try, though. ”
Mutually reinforcing? Well, Gail knows what that is. Gail, who felt a little hot, waved his hand in a hurry, especially indifferently saying that he would look for it.
"So as long as I continue? What kind of journey does that need to be continued? A little later, after Gale condensed what Godric had said for several hours into a single sentence to Severus, Severus didn't know how to be sure that he had achieved his goal or was about to achieve it.
"Who knows? Maybe one or two decades! Maybe a hundred or two hundred! It's all possible. Gail had been wondering if he could tie Severus' life to himself - just like Charles and Doria, magic, life, and damage were all shared.
So, under such a strict premise, Gail felt that the partnership contract was a good choice. He and Severus will be together forever in the truest sense of the word.
"Gail, we're not adults yet." Severus pointed out the problem in a stern manner. This is a limitation of the hardware.
"Well, when we turn 17, we'll go to the Ministry of Magic!" Gail was confident that he would get a soulmate contract with Severus. There will be no one in this world who loves Severus more than him, and no one who has received more love from Severus than he does!
Severus thought so, and more so than Gael. He rightly thought, as Gail said, that the shadow of childhood is difficult to heal, and he will probably suffer from gains and losses and possessiveness like this for the rest of his life!
Celestial spent a week happily with his uncle, who had also become a black hole in the family tree, before school started, returning to Potter Manor. The first thing he did when he came back was for Remus to go to Diagon Alley to buy books for the next semester.
Under the mastermind of Headmaster Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the recent panic in the wizarding world seems to be like a flash in the pan, and stability and peace are the main tone of the recent past.
This can be seen from the prosperity of Diagon Alley. As the only wizarding shopping street in London, England, the locked shops reopened, the Aurors didn't just grab people, and the Death Eaters disappeared. Especially in the week leading up to the start of school, Diagon Alley was overcrowded.
"I thought you knew about the situation." Remus said as he looked at Siris, with a bitter face, as he squeezed out of the crowd and into the cold drink shop.
"I'm ......," said Ciris, who was about to say something—Lily, Gail, Severus, and James were all here. They just went to get their own cold drinks.
"Hi Siris! Have fun at your uncle's house? Lily waved her hand and laughed like a thief. This made Siris hate it so much.
Lily thought it was so much fun to watch Cyris and Remus have a two-way crush! But Ciris is such a guy, don't look at it
