Chapter 57: Guilt
Winter days get dark very quickly, and it's just time for dinner. At this time, at the top of the Astronomical Tower, Ning Yuan was bathed in silver moonlight, and the cold wind blew the snowflakes on his shoulders, and there was silence all around. When the lights in the castle windows were extinguished, the small golden spots of light that flickered in the field below also disappeared, and there was a dead silence between heaven and earth.
Ning Yuan's heart was not turbulent, only the nine thoughts in the sea of consciousness flashed with crystal clear brilliance, quietly communicating with the great source outside his body, immersed in the infinite power of heaven and earth.
After breaking and standing, when the sea of consciousness was repaired, it seemed to be a matter of course, and Ning Yuan condensed eight thoughts in a short period of time.
When Ning Yuan withdrew from meditation, he exhaled deeply, "The soul of the demigod is worthy of being related to the god word, and a little insignificant part will save me almost several years of effort, if I can maintain this progress, I don't have to worry about the second achievement." ”
Standing up, Ning Yuan swept away the falling snow on his body, and quietly looked down at the entire Hogwarts Castle, in the mixed sky, only a few wisps of bright moonlight broke through the dark clouds, bringing some comfort between heaven and earth.
"Heart of Truth!" Ning Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he called for the heart of truth in his heart.
Immediately, an illusory screen unfolded in front of him, [The second achievement, thousands of high-rise buildings rise from the ground, the foundation is important, as a wizard condenses your legendary will, the foundation of immortality. Time Limit: 5o years in the Earth Calendar】
"Fifty years is long and short. If it weren't for Merlin's demigod soul, I'm afraid it would have taken some effort, but it is estimated that it will be completed in ten years now! Ning Yuan clenched his fists, very confident in his heart.
However, he also knows that this way of channeling external forces is not the right way, and the key to the so-called legendary will is the word will, not the strength of the soul, no matter how strong the soul is, no matter how many thoughts of condensation, but if the will is not good, it is like sand and cement, empty quantity and no quality, and it is likely to fall short when the final smelting idea is made. Therefore, this way of devouring the divine soul to speed up the cultivation can only be an auxiliary.
Suddenly, a golden-red flame flashed, and a piece of parchment fell in front of him with a beautiful feather.
This is the way Dumbledore often uses to send messages, pick it up and look at it, sure enough, it is Dumbledore's, let him go to the headmaster's office, it seems that he knows about today's plan with Snape.
"Sure enough, a spy is a spy!" Thinking that this must have been said by Snape, Ning Yuan pursed his lips. But he wasn't angry, Snape was originally Dumbledore's man, how could such an important thing not be said to Dumbledore.
When he arrived at the principal's office, he saw a certain eerie black robe that had not changed for thousands of years.
"Professor, what's the matter?" Ning Yuan rolled his eyes and said.
The Headmaster's room looked the same as it had ever been, and in front of Dumbledore, fine silverware stood on a table with slender legs, quietly puffing smoke and spinning. Portraits of old principals of both sexes were snoozing in the photographs, some lazily leaning their heads back on chairs with armrests, others leaning against the frame of the portraits, and some watching with interest what was going on in the headmaster's room.
"Ning, I heard good news from Seaver!" Dumbledore wore a purple wizard's robe, and the silver stars and crescents on the robe shimmered.
"About this one at Longbottom?" Ning Yuan used his wand to conjure up a chair for himself, sat down opposite Dumbledore, and then brought himself a cup of hot cocoa.
"Yes, Ning!" Dumbledore's face was full of relief, and then he also brought himself a glass of honey water, "You don't know how I felt when I heard the news!" ”
"I admire Frank and Alice, both for their bravery and loyalty!" Ning Yuan took a sip of hot cocoa, drove away the winter cold, and said slowly.
"Yes, everybody knows." Dumbledore nodded, "You can't imagine the guilt I felt when I learned the sad news. ”
"Guilt? I thought it was a necessary sacrifice! Snape, who was standing aside, scoffed.
"It was just an accident...... Dumbledore sighed deeply, his eyes full of guilt, "I underestimated the Death Eaters' ......madness after Voldemort's disappearance," Dumbledore's tone was heavy.
In fact, there were not a few wizards like the Longbottoms who were attacked by the Death Eaters during the chaotic period after Voldemort's disappearance, whether they died or disappeared, and almost in just a few days, a large number of wizards in the entire British wizarding world were attacked by the Death Eaters.
The Longbottoms were lucky, because of the identity of the Order of the Phoenix, so that the loyal Death Eaters who were desperately looking for Voldemort did not kill immediately, but survived!
Although Yan Zòng has gone crazy because of the damage to his soul and consciousness, at least he can still be alive and with his family, instead of lying quietly in the cemetery like many people in that period of black terror back then, and even many people can't even find a little corpse and disappear without a trace.
"Come on, Professor, you're not a god, and you said it was just an accident, who would have thought that Bella's group of Death Eaters would be so crazy." Ning Yuan's index finger tapped the cup lightly.
“…… Whatever you do, just do your best, because no one is omnipotent! At the very least, now we can help Neville heal his parents and reunite the old woman Longbottom with healthy children. Ning Yuan said.
Dumbledore nodded, "So...... As we said, can the potion really cure Frank, Syphus, and Ning? Dumbledore asked.
"Theoretically, if the effect of that potion is really as Ning said!" As a potion master, even if he has an estimate in his heart, he will not say it too absolutely before he really makes that potion, which is very in line with the other party's usual rigorous attitude, "However, this potion can indeed treat the damage to the soul consciousness." ”
"Ning?" Dumbledore looked at Ning Yuan, who was drinking hot cocoa.
"Yes, but it's only an aid in the treatment process! It relieves damage at the level of consciousness and consciousness...... But it's only a relief, the soul is so mysterious, I haven't heard of anyone who can study it thoroughly since ancient times! Ning Yuan said honestly.
If you want to say that you can directly cure the other party's magic potion, it is not a problem for Ning Yuan, who has the heart of truth to help deduce, to take it out.
It's just that his original idea was just to get in touch with the Longbottom family, so it was natural to highlight his help to the Longbottoms.
It is not in his own interest to take out the potion formula directly, after all, he has to share some credit with Snape. But now this potion needs to be combined with your own meditation method to be effective, and even the effect period is still very long, and it will take at least many years for the Longbottoms to fully recover.
And these times were the best chance for him to build a good relationship with the Longbottom family, although he also had to share some of the Longbottom's thanks to Snape, but it was very little for the whole treatment process.
How to say that it is also a lost meditation technique, what exactly needs to be paid attention to, and which ones are conventions and are not clearly stated! If you don't have someone to teach you personally, you won't be able to complete the meditation even if you get the method, after all, the first meditation is the most dangerous time, and someone who is proficient in meditation must be on the side to keep an eye on it. As a result, he had more time to contact with the Longbottom family.
After Ning Yuan said the specific treatment plan, a little different color flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, which made Ning Yuan, who saw this scene, secretly curse the old fox.
Dumbledore didn't say anything, though, just nodded knowingly.
The three of them talked about the specifics again, and soon it was time for the Christmas dinner, and the three of them went to the lobby to attend the banquet together.
It was still Ning Yuan spending Christmas with the other wizards, and he saw a hundred fat roast turkeys, mountains of roasted meat and boiled potatoes, large plates of delicious sausages, bowls of buttered peas, and plates of thick and thick meat marinade and lingonberry sauce—every few steps along the table, there were piles of wizard packets and firecrackers waiting for you. These wonderful packets of firecrackers make a loud cannon noise when they are pulled, and then blow up all sorts of unexpected things.
By the time the three of them arrived, almost all of the remaining students and professors had arrived.
After a dinner party, everyone had a great time. Even when Dumbledore was pranked by the Weasley twins, Professor McGonagall, who had always been strict, giggled and didn't stop it.
