Chapter 202: Occlumency
Before returning to the dormitory, Albert went to the library to see what was going on. After all, this matter is still caused by itself, so it is natural to pay attention to the follow-up development.
Before passing by the library, he noticed several students looking around at the library, as if curious about what was going on inside.
"What's going on?" Albert walked over to ask a student who was watching around.
"I don't know. ”
"Mrs. Pince is taking stock of the books in the forbidden area. A girl gossiped, "I heard that several books were taken from the forbidden book area. ”
"The books in the forbidden area are all dangerous books. Someone next to me came over and joined the conversation.
Albert didn't stay to continue the fun, it had nothing to do with him, and he returned all the books he "borrowed" from the forbidden area.
Back in the dormitory, Albert took ten Galleons directly from the compartment of his suitcase and placed them in a money bag made by Transfiguration.
If ten Galleons could teach Albert Occlumency, the money would be well spent.
Until he mastered Occlumency, Albert would never have revealed the crown to Dumbledore.
When Albert arrives in Room 17, which is used by the Transfiguration Club, he finds that Isobel has arrived early, and she sits in her armchair flipping through the latest issue of Transfiguration Today.
"You came quite on time. The girl said without raising her head.
"Keeping time is a virtue. Albert took out the money bag from the pocket of his robe and handed it to Isobel, "The agreed tuition, I think we can get started." ”
Isobel closed the magazine, looked up at the money bag handed to him, reached out to take it and put it in his pocket, nodded and said, "Let's start!"
"Won't you check?" reminded Albert, with a smirk, "maybe it's not Garon, it's Nat." ”
Isobel's expression froze, and he glanced up at Albert, and then, under the gaze of the other party, took out the money bag and took out a ...... Nat.
This guy definitely did it on purpose.
Isobel realized that he was being molested by the other party, and he was really a guy with a bad personality!
"Sorry, I was just kidding. Albert had a smile on his face that could not be concealed, and he had just seen a moment of astonishment on Isobel's face.
As he spoke, Albert took another money bag out of his pocket and handed it to Isobel. As for the ten Nats just now, he had no intention of coming back at all.
After the latter took it, he opened it and looked at the Galleon inside, this time it was really Galleon.
"I think you've already read the Advanced Occlumeny Guide. Isobel put the money bag in his pocket and said meaningfully, "I think you should have been to the forbidden section of the library last night and secretly borrowed that book!"
Isobel was very succinct in pointing out that Albert was to blame for last night's riots.
"No, I haven't had time to borrow the Advanced Occlumency Guide from the library. Albert also flatly denied it.
"Well, Occlumency is actually a kind of magic that can prevent the mind from being invaded and affected by magic, and wizards who are generally good at using Occlumency are also good at telekinesis. Completely unconcerned about Albert's denial, Isobel pulled two armchairs in and sat across from him, only three feet apart, and Albert could even feel Isobel's heartbeat and breathing.
He looked at the Ravenclaw genius in front of him, this was a very beautiful red-haired girl, but her temperament was a little cold, or arrogant.
However, geniuses are like this, and Albert is not incomprehensible.
“...... Some wizards are extremely good at telephony. Isobel noticed Albert's gaze, raised an eyebrow, and continued: "They can usually easily tell if you are lying, and Professor Snape is the best example of this, he can always tell if someone is lying to him...... Only a wizard who is good at Occlumency, can seal the feelings and memories that contradict the lie, and lie in front of the clever Regent without being detected. ”
"Apparently, you're not a clever regent, are you?" Albert blinked, casually making another innocuous joke.
"Yes, I'm not a good Regent. Isobel simply admitted, and continued: "One thing you have to know is that eye contact is often crucial for the Regent, so...... Look me in the eye. ”
Albert suddenly had a not-so-good feeling.
"It seems that you are not ignorant of telekinesis and occlusion. Isobel was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"You just used it, didn't you?" said Albert suddenly.
"Yes. Isobel said, "I just used the Regency to open a window in your eyes and extract the sensations and memories I need from the brain inside. The head of an ordinary wizard is defenseless against a regent. Of course, it's not easy to learn it. ”
"Do you know what I'm thinking right now?" Albert looked away, a malicious smile on his lips.
"Even if you compliment me, it's useless. Isobel subconsciously said: "Also, whether I will age early or not has nothing to do with you." ”
Sure enough, it was seen through directly. Albert looked at Isobel in surprise and continued, "It seems that your Dementor is not as bad as you say!"
"What a nasty fellow, put away your boring temptations. A hint of shame flashed in Isobel's eyes, and she realized that Albert's words were meant to test her.
No matter which woman it is, she attaches great importance to her appearance, and the guy in front of her obviously knows this very well, and uses this to test his level of regents.
"Alright, I'm going to go into your brain and see how good you can resist. Isobel raised his wand and reminded, "You need to get rid of distractions, let go of all feelings, and try to stop me from invading your brain." ”
"I see. Albert grunted.
"Prepare, three, two, one, the dementor!" Isobel made a move, although Albert had prepared in advance, but the moment he was concentrated by the spell, he was still a little caught off guard:
The classroom shook and disappeared before Albert's eyes, and images flashed through his mind like a movie.
At the age of six, Albert was riding a new bike given to him by his parents in the park.
When he was eight years old, Albert was sitting on the couch and telling his sister fairy tales......"
Albert felt the sensation with interest, and he knew full well that Isobel was flipping through his memories.
After a few moments, Albert began to try to stop her from invading her brain, and began to consciously recall the economics and math books she had read, preparing to use these memories to contain each other, and to squeeze the feeling of deepening and turning over her memories out of her brain.
"You succeeded. There was a bit of amazement in Isobel's tone, and she didn't think that Albert had managed to resist her own detriment.
In particular, she also noticed that while squeezing her thoughts out, she saw Albert subconsciously create a maze to intercept her own peep into his brain.
"Well, that feeling...... It feels weird, it's not good!" Albert was a little short of breath as he found himself back in the Transfiguration Club classroom.
"Let me take a break. Albert took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, took a bite, and subconsciously asked, "Do you want it?"
Isobel glanced at the bitten chocolate, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she still did not refuse Albert's kindness, took the chocolate, and folded a piece of the back that was not bitten.
"You're doing a great job, much better than my first attempt. Isobel continued, "Now, you need to concentrate and use your brain to resist my invasion. ”
After all, after accepting someone else's Galleon, Isobel naturally still needs to do this well.
"I know what I have to do!" Albert said casually. He began to try to look at the skills panel, but unfortunately there was still no Occlumency.
It seems that it will take a few more attempts.
Although it was expected, it was still quite depressing, even if Albert didn't care about being seen some childhood memories, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart.
"Eliminate distractions, concentrate your thoughts, and let go of all feelings. Isobel reminded, "I'm going to start!"
"Wait!" Albert suddenly raised his hand to stop the other from casting a spell.
"Anything else?" Isobel's arm paused, and he looked at Albert suspiciously, not knowing what he was trying to do.
"Make it upholstered. Albert moved the chair away, took a cushion and placed it on the carpet, then sat cross-legged on the cushion, relaxed his body, and tried to put himself into a meditative state.
"It's time to go!"
"Three, two, one, the deception!" Isobel casts the spell again.
At the age of nine, Albert was in the kitchen helping his family make Nia's birthday cake......
At this moment, he was emptying his brain as much as possible, focusing all his attention on Isobel's thoughts, and the images in his mind gradually disappeared.
Albert snapped open his eyes and saw a moment of consternation on Isobel's face.
Yes, even Isobel didn't expect Albert to be able to master Occlumency so quickly and defend himself against his own invasion.
"You've succeeded!" said Isobel suddenly, "I have nothing left to teach you. ”
As she spoke, she was about to get up and leave, but Albert reached out and grabbed Isobel's arm, because Albert had just flipped through the panel skills again, and there was still no Occlumency.
"That's not how money is grabbed. Albert looked at Isobel helplessly, "I don't think I've succeeded in mastering Occlumency. Let's talk about the things to pay attention to in Occlumency and Regent, I'm so sincere, you should be a little sincere. ”
"Alright!" Isobel agreed after a moment's thought, and if he didn't know if it was because he realized that he was too bad or something else, he began to explain to Albert her own use and understanding of Occlumency and Regents.
The conversation between the two about Occlumency, which lasted about half an hour.
Isobel is a genius, and even though he has just been introduced to Occlumency, he still has his own unique perspective on this magic.
After listening to Isobel's explanation, and after several attempts, Albert finally found that Occlumency appeared on his skill panel.
Looking at the Occlumency on the skill panel, Albert couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, if it took Galleon and didn't learn it, it would be a pit.
Upgrading the Occlumency to Level 2, Albert closed his eyes and felt the changes brought about by the skill upgrade. When Albert reopened his eyes, they were a little hollow.
Isobel, who noticed Albert's change, couldn't help frowning slightly.
"I think the deal between us is done!" said Isobel. When she got up to leave, she was grabbed by Albert's hand.
