79. The deeper meaning of Occlumency
"Then you just take what I said is false, Professor Quirrell doesn't have any problems." McGoth didn't want to go back.
Snape didn't expect him to say this, and looked at him with a mocking smile on his lips.
McGoth couldn't help it, and he asked him with some annoyance how he could get him to discourage the idea of informing Dumbledore. He just said this angrily, but he didn't expect Snape to sneer and say that it was not impossible.
"Remember the last time I said four tasks? The fourth one you rejected and only accepted two, and if you accept the last one I can consider your suggestion. He looked at him coldly and said.
"The last one?" McGoth repeated. The only task he remembered not accepting was for him to use the Dementor on himself. He glanced at Snape with an ugly face, he had too many secrets on him, he didn't know if he would expose all his secrets after being read by the dementors, he didn't dare to take this risk, so he promised the other two last time, but he didn't expect that this time he actually took out this task again.
"Professor, why do you have to ask me to accept all your assignments?" Magos asked a little unwillingly.
"Mr. Will, please be clear, I didn't force you to do anything or force you to agree to any conditions, these are just exchanges, everything has a price, you need me to promise you one thing at the same time you must also promise me one thing." Snape had a look on his face as a matter of course.
McGoth lowered his head and his face changed several times before he looked up, "Professor Snape, everyone has their own secrets. Even though I'm young, I'm no exception, and there are some things I don't want anyone to know. I think even if you're as powerful as Headmaster Dumbledore, you'll have some secrets that you don't want anyone else to know, so that task of yours is really hard for me. ”
"Oh? You mean refused? Snape's expression was strange, as if he hadn't expected it and as if he had expected it.
"I'm sorry Professor, I can't help it if you insist on informing Headmaster Dumbledore, I've done my best, and if Professor Quirrell blames me, I can tell him I tried." With that, he prepared to take his leave and leave the underground office.
"Why do you think that using Soul Capture is reading memories?" Snape asked suddenly.
McGoth looked at him puzzled, if it wasn't for memories, what was this spell for?
"Last time you talked about Occlumency, it seems that you know a few of the two spells, but you are still the same as learning potions, and you are self-righteous when you know only half of it." Snape scoffed unceremoniously.
"Professor, I don't understand what you mean." Although McGoth is not the kind of pervert in the online novel who can dissect the other party's heart when he hears a few words, Snape can still understand such an obvious hint, and he didn't make a mistake and left angrily without listening to anything.
"The book introduces that dementoring is to extract the memories and emotions of the other party, and cerebral occlusion is to seal off the feelings and memories of one's own lies and contradictions." Snape said the meaning of the two spells in an unemotional tone.
"Yes, Professor, isn't it?"
"Yes, the book is true, but do you really think that these spells that require mental power are that simple, just for snooping and defense?" Snape made no secret of his sarcasm about McGoss's ignorance. "Just as black magic is extraordinarily lethal, white magic as you know it is not so simple." Speaking of which, he stopped, and looked at Magos calmly. McGoth was hearing the point, curious about what he was saying 'not that simple', and he wasn't stupid enough to know why Snape stopped suddenly.
"Professor Snape, if the Dementorship isn't about seeing other people's memories, as you say, I'm agreeing to your mission." He thought for a moment and said.
Snape gave him a sneering look, "Mental power, or energy." I'm sure you're familiar with this term. ”
"Yes, Professor, but what do these spells have to do with psychic power?" McGoth still has some doubts.
"It's like you've been using a spell, what happens to you after a long time." Snape grew impatient with his clumsiness.
"More skilled, can those spells improve mental power?" McGoth was excited.
"Boost your mental power? What are you thinking? Snape interrupted his illusions mercilessly. Just as those spells have become more proficient over time, if you regularly use the Dementor to train your mental power, you will have a stronger resistance to this spell, of course, it needs to be trained with Occlumency, otherwise a mistake may turn you into an idiot. However, while it doesn't substantially increase your mental strength, it can save your life in some cases. ”
"Help?"
"What if you were in a duel with a wizard and he hit him with a Dementor first? Don't think I'm joking, I'm not that interested, a lot of dark wizards' favorite tricks are to mix a soul retort with dark magic. Snape's words made McGoth look incredulous, according to him, the Soul Capture spell was almost the equivalent of the in-game dizziness or fear of the gods.
"Of course, this requires you to have a strong understanding and familiarity with this spell first, otherwise it will not be much different from not."
"Then Professor, what is the effect of the Occlumency, it can't be with the dementorship, right?" Hearing this, McGoth felt that since he could resist the dementorship with his body, wouldn't the Occlumency Technique have no effect?
"Ignorance." Snape gave him a cold look, "The significance of Brain Occlumency is more important than Soul Conferencing, and you think there is no other spell against the brain besides Soul Conferencing?" The Oblivion Curse, the Imperius Curse, there are many of them, and these spells are impossible to train, and no idiot will use these spells on themselves to train resistance. So this is where the most important aspect of Occlumency. Remember, whenever you're dealing with hostile wizards, especially dark wizards, Occlumency is something you must have done. ”
"Occlumency resists the Imperius Curse?" It was the first time that McGoth had known that Occlumency was so awesome, and he thought it was just a shameful and tasteless skill. Hearing Snape say this felt like a necessary skill to resist the opponent's control skills, and he suddenly became interested in the spell.
"Of course, it can't be done with normal brain occlusion, but not necessarily if I have been trained." Snape looked at him with a smirk.
I don't know if it's a delusion, he inexplicably feels that Snape seems to have bad intentions, but after his current understanding of this spell, even if he doesn't have bad intentions, he won't give up this opportunity.
However, before McGoth could express to him that he wanted to learn now, Snape simply let him go, telling him to wait until he had finished making the two potions.
Saying goodbye to Snape, McGoth went to the hospital first, but Madam Pomfrey didn't let him in, he could only take a look from afar, saw Harry and Malfoy still asleep, and left, returning to the common room.
Lying on the couch in the lounge, listening to Ron and their infinite repetition of the Quidditch match just now, while thinking about Snape's words, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, he had always looked at the magic in this world in the novels he remembered, and now he suddenly realized that magic may not be so simple, maybe a simple spell in a novel will have an unusual meaning.
"McGoth, McGoth." Ron shouted Magos twice before coming back to reality from his thoughts.
"What's wrong, Ron?" He asked a little dazedly.
Ron looked at him speechlessly, he could be in a daze when they were so noisy, this technique was really powerful.
"Fred told me I'll come to you later, will you meet them here or go to the back room?" Ron now looks upset at the mention of his two older brothers.
"Let's go to the Chamber of Secrets, and let them take us to Hogsmeade to celebrate when Harry and Malfoy are well."
"Hogsmeade?" Ron's eyes lit up suddenly, he had been trying it since he saw the secret passage leading to the outside from the map of the living point, but Harry and Magos disagreed and had to think about it, but he didn't expect that this time Magos actually proposed to go to Hogsmeade.
After a few more conversations with Ron, he left the common room to go to the Chamber of Secrets, where he discussed going to Hogsmeade with the twins. When he reached the fifth floor, a Hufflepuff senior stopped him. Said Professor Quirrell had something to look for him.
McGoth was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it should be Professor Quirrell who called him over, but he didn't expect him to appear again......
