Chapter 209: Harlott Repents

"Helping a village get rid of werewolves was an old American wizard who was a little ugly in appearance and had no taste in clothes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut he is indeed a powerful wizard and a very nice person, I just had a casual chat with him and he told me everything. Lockhart clenched his fists again.

"But after I cheated him into his experience, I gave him a Forgetting Spell and claimed his experience as my own." ”

"In addition to the old wizard in the United States, there are also witches who banished the female ghosts of Wanlun, and there are wizards like them one after another. They were deceived by me into their experiences, and fell under my spell of forgetting. ”

"I'm a complete liar, and I'm not just a liar, I'm proud of it. I take other people's experiences as if they were there in exchange for fame and respect from others. Lockhart said with his head in his hands, ashamed.

"If it weren't for this attack and almost died, if it weren't for the fact that I had walked around life and death, I might have been deceived like this for the rest of my life. He was in a trance for a moment, and then immediately said, "No, it won't be like that. Sooner or later, I will lose my life in a deception, just like this time. ”

"Even without a basilisk, there will be other monsters, or a wizard who has been attacked by me. Someday, I'm going to be discovered, and I already knew about it, but I can't stop. Lockhart sobbed.

Ever since he first cheated someone else's experience, he couldn't stop. He knew that sooner or later he would die from such an experience, but he couldn't help it.

Just pretend to be friends with other people, just ask them a few more questions, and in the last one forget everything, you can get him everything. Gaining fame, wealth, and respect, these unearned gains have made him unable to stop.

"I don't know if to be glad or sorry I didn't die. Lockhart said blankly.

"Since I've been on this path, I've had no way back. I may die at the hands of a wizard, I may die in an adventure, and I may die with honor. ”

"At least you're alive, wizards aren't a group with good memories. In fact, it only takes a few years to pass and not many people will remember you. George said flatly.

He couldn't say anything about Lockhart's experience, a liar, a shameful man. But so what, there has never been a shortage of such people in the world, and they have even been prevalent all the time. Whether Lockhart intensifies or realizes that nothing will change except himself.

"Maybe if I die this time, they'll remember me. "But what's the point, I'm petrified, I don't feel anything, I don't know anything, I don't feel anything." What's the point of dying like this, with honor or humiliation?"

"I thought fame was the most important thing, and I was always thrilled by people's eyes, and I tried everything I could to pursue it. ”

Lockhart spread his hands and stared at them blankly, his slender ten fingers, all carefully maintained to look like a young man, and he said, "In the end, I am almost out of strength as a wizard, and I can't even protect myself." ”

"When facing the basilisk, I didn't have the strength to resist at all, but for a moment, I felt like I was floating and fluttering, almost dying, and I think I was even more unbearable than the students. ”

"Today, when the principal announced my departure, I heard cheers from students and teachers. If it was before, I could deceive myself and pretend not to hear. But for now, I can only admit what I am. Lockhart lowered his head and said dejectedly.

"Actually, no one knows me at all, in fact, no one really knows me at all. All they saw was an illusion that I had deliberately created, an illusion full of aura and illusion. There is no real Gilderoy Lockhart at all. ”

After Lockhart finished speaking, he paused, he took a journal from his pocket and handed it to George, "This is the only thing I can be proud of, the Oblivion Charm that I have modified and perfected myself." Thank you for destroying the basilisk and avenging us. ”

"I'm getting out of here, I'm going to find the real Gilderoy Lockhart. He stood up and said with emotion.

"Maybe you can consider staying in school and building up some strength, and it's always easier to recover your strength than to make something out of nothing. George said lightly, since he had received Lockhart's gift, he also planned to give Lockhart some useful advice.

Lockhart paused, he hesitated and thought for a moment, and then said, "No, I don't need me in the academy, I need to change the environment and calm down." ”

Maybe it's true that the academy is a safe and kind environment, but the impression of his classmates and teachers has been fixed. Now that he was planning to change, he didn't want to stay here anymore. At least until the real Gilderoy Lockhart is found, he doesn't plan to return to Hogwarts.

"Well, I wish you all the best on your journey. ”

Now that Lockhart had made a decision, George had no intention of interfering, he also took out a thick notebook from the bookshelf and handed it to Lockhart, "You've been away from school for so many years, I guess you might need it." ”

This is a student's notebook written by George, recorded and analyzed for lessons from grades 1 to 7, and is now the standard reference book for the Mutual Aid Society.

"Haha, after not being a professor, I also became a student again. Lockhart took the note, flipped through it briefly, and said with emotion. He put the notes away, and these were exactly what he needed.

Looking at Lockhart's back as he gradually faded away, George couldn't help but sigh that people will always change because of major experiences. After Lockhart's first attempt to deceive someone else's experience, it was difficult to resist the temptation. Simply get something for nothing, step into the upper class, and become famous in an instant.

As he said, once he got this, he couldn't throw it away, he couldn't turn back, he could only watch himself drift away, towards the abyss, towards death.

But on the other hand, it's not that he can't turn back, it's just that his demons are sad and his bad habits are hard to change.

At this life-and-death juncture, all fame, all admiration, can't let him hold up in front of the basilisk for a second. Facing the test of life and death, the fear of death finally reminded him that he was a wizard and a wizard who couldn't even protect himself.

People are in pursuit of money, in pursuit of wealth, in pursuit of power, in pursuit of power. In the end, it's all about protecting yourself and making your life better. If wealth doesn't make people live better, who cares about useless things.
