Chapter 207: Where Did the Lost Memories Go?
The so-called ghost actually refers to the soul of the deceased, who has not undergone a complete cycle of life and death, but has reappeared in the world in its pre-life appearance.
No wizard knows about the world after death, about where the wizard's soul goes.
Similarly, no wizard understands how ghosts are created.
It is only through a few words that people know that they chose to stay behind because they were afraid of death and lacked the courage to embark on another great adventure.
Then, they turned into ghosts and re-witnessed the development of the world, but they could not change anything.
Ghosts cannot touch the world, they have lost the right to enjoy the sun, the air, and the tempting food forever, and can only live in monotony day after day, looking humbly at the world they once lived.
Like a group of observers, their souls remain in this world forever.
"Facing death is a matter of courage, William."
After Wilhelm wanted his father to ask questions about ghosts, Duke Friedrich taught Wilhelm this.
"Ghosts are a group of cowardly people, or they have too deep a fascination with the world and their own identity before death, they can't accept the fact of death, and finally choose to stay behind, forever conjuring up the ghost between life and death."
"Is death so merciful, father? Can people choose where to go after death at will? William also asked the question he had been puzzled about.
"I'm glad you think so, and we should be in awe of death." Hearing William's question, the Duke's face was also a little surprised, but he was satisfied with the awe of death expressed in William's words.
The Duke thought for a moment and continued.
"We know very little about the world after death, as the living. Therefore, even I cannot judge death and the creation of ghosts.
But, William, is death really as merciful as you think?
What do they lose in the process of becoming ghosts? And what punishment will they receive for a long time after becoming ghosts?
Have you thought about any of this, William?
Think about it, can death really be so merciful? Okay, that's all for today. ”
His father's words gave William a lot of gains.
There are still many secrets hidden in that transparent silver body, waiting to be discovered by modern wizards.
Like all modern wizards, William has no special knowledge of ghosts, they are as unknown as the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.
Although compared to the others, William had a very unusual experience, that is, he died once, and once came into contact with the kiss of death.
This gave him more or less an understanding of death.
However, William did not perceive the world after death, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he was already a baby waiting to be fed.
This may be due to the disagreement between the two worlds, William guessed after growing up again.
As he grew older, his memories became unusually blurry, as if a pair of invisible hands had gently erased those traces.
Even if he examined his own memories, William didn't find it, except for those familiar with the plot, the earliest memory he could recall was when he was three years old.
At that time, he had a magical riot and almost blew up a house.
Memories beyond could not be found, even in the world of memory, a silver mist prevented William from continuing his exploration.
Yes, William did not tell the truth when confronted by the messenger. He had examined his memories after he had become proficient in using the Oblivion Charm.
Because at that time William was curious, looking at what it was like to see his mind.
But even if he looked at his own mind, he couldn't find any memories before he was three years old.
Moreover, what is more worth thinking about is that in addition to his impression of the plot, his memories of his previous life are also very vague.
Where did the lost memories go?
"William, William? Are you listening? Just as William was unconsciously immersed in deep thought, Sir Nicholas's voice rang in his ears.
His voice sounded a little dissatisfied, because Nicholas, who was telling his grievances, suddenly noticed that the boy in front of him had a somewhat empty gaze, as if he had wandered into the world.
"Of course, I'm listening to you, Sir Nicholas. I'm sorry you didn't join the Headless Hunters. They didn't absorb you, and it's definitely their loss. William put on a disgruntled look on his face.
"Pity! Yes, pity! What a pity I am! Hearing William's words, Jazz seemed to be stimulated by something, and his voice began to become high-pitched, indicating that he was in a state of anger.
It turns out that after becoming a ghost, will you also be retained the emotions of your life?
William secretly remembered in his heart that he had not yet been able to find a reason to provide himself with the ghost of the experiment.
"If that damned executioner, whose name I don't know, could use a sharp axe when he cut off my head, I wouldn't suffer either before or after death."
Even though he had been dead for almost five hundred years, Sir Nicholas was still complaining viciously about it.
Funny to say, Nick's story is full of drama and irony, just like the other ghosts that reside at Hogwarts.
Like many young wizards born in England, he spent some memorable time at Hogwarts as a student at Gryffindor House.
After he graduated, Sir Nicholas openly associated with Muggles. He was knighted and became a courtier in the palace of King Henry VII.
However, the king was unaware that there was such a wizard among his courtiers, and at that time, because of the Holy See, Muggles were resistant and afraid of wizards.
The crazy, ignorant Muggles grabbed all the women who looked like witches and tied them to the fire and burned them alive.
But Muggles would never understand that the clever wizards would never be caught by them, and that they had at least a thousand ways to escape.
Those ignorant Muggles were harming just a few crappy wizards and a much larger number of innocent women.
All in all, it was a very crazy time.
It seems that Sir Nicholas chose the right time to be close to Muggles.
William, who had learned about this history, thought.
