Chapter Eighty-Six: The First Discussion of Rebirth
"Liu Yan, a native of the Celestial Empire, was born in 16 BC and died in 23 AD. He rebelled in Wang Mang's New Dynasty era, and the early stage was infinitely beautiful, close to the emperor's throne, and in the latter stage, he was blocked everywhere and finally died. β
"There is no exhaustive record of the information provided to me by the East, but most researchers, including myself and Professor Binns and Nicol Lemay, believe that he may be the only reborn person in history."
Dumbledore remembered what Harry had told him, tapping lightly on the table.
"So what do you mean by that, Headmaster? I think I'm ...... Imagine that the Celestial Empire is going to deal with the British Isles? Ricardo looked at Dumbledore sitting in front of him, frowned, and looked extremely resistant, "It's not that I said, with such a large population base, it is understandable that there are one or two variables. β
"I don't think so," Dumbledore shook his head, "but I think Chino's accident might be similar. β
"Chino's situation is obvious," Ricardo tried to explain, "there is a Cruthus god or something that interferes with the timeline and wants to enter the world according to ......"
"Impossible," Dumbledore rejected the answer without even thinking about it, "the world is stable and fragile, and if any monster wants to invade, it will either be kept out of the world, or it will shatter the world and cannot invade." β
So...... Why do you think it's impossible...... Is this world too low-level?
Ricardo wanted to complain, maybe how else I got here...... Oh, it looks like I floated over on my own.
"No," he thought, suddenly discovering something, "you mean...... Not an outside god? β
Dumbledore nodded, walked over to a portrait, and took out an ancient book:
"This is Nicol Lemay's 1974 book Eternal Flame: Ancient Magic of the World of the Gods, which is no longer available on the market, and he speculates that there was a glorious civilization of gods in ancient times, which is the source of many myths in the Muggle world."
"So you're guessing that the gods have not yet ended, and recently awakened, causing Quirrell Quirrellus to be reborn?" Ricardo took the book and flipped through the pages.
"That's why I'm looking for you," Dumbledore's voice suddenly lightened, his blue eyes flashing a hint of cunning, "Tell me...... Your speculation? β
"The Riddler get out of Hogwarts......" Ricardo muttered, thinking, flipping through the books.
The book is divided into seven volumes, dividing ancient magic into seven parts: elemental, nothingness, time, space, body, soul, and death, each of which records the most outstanding achievements of that related magic.
Among them, the "time" part is written about the past of the new dynasty.
Nicol Lemay writes:
I'm sure Mr. Wang Mang accidentally got the time turner, and then deceived the world into coming to that eraβI probably know this best.
And Mr. Liu Xiu, either he is a wizard close to God, or because of the former's escape, the world's self-correction function is stimulated, and the bonus is added to this person, so every time he is in trouble, he will encounter a miracle.
But what's going on with Mr. Liu Yan...... It's not a matter of time magic anymore, not even the "Corrector" can detect it. In my opinion, there are only two possibilities for this scenario, but either one is worth the fear......
"It may be because God is rebellious, or it may just be because God borrows power." Ricardo softly read the last sentence of the passage.
"God rebels...... Is there a god who can force the world to go back in time? β
"Yes, but Nicol Lemay says it's hard," Dumbledore replied, "it's a combination of time magic and its own power, against world consciousness. If humans could do it, then ancient magic would not be cut off from the world. β
"It is said that Salazar Slytherin was also once obsessed with time magic, and then suffered a curse, and died before he grew old, and eventually suffered a curse for the rest of his life."
Ricardo gasped.
"So...... Is it God's Strength? What does that mean? β
Dumbledore smiled and didn't speak.
"God needs to be leveraged...... Borrowing power must be borrowed from a stronger existence. Something more powerful than God......"
"The height of the spring will not exceed its source." Seeing that Ricciardo was once again in deep thought, Dumbledore reminded him.
"Source...... The world, the world? Ricardo was stunned, "You mean, borrowing from the world?" But how could it be ......"
"That's what I don't understand," Dumbledore smirked, "why would the world lend God power?" β
"Maybe Mr. Lemay didn't write it clearly...... Anyway, isn't Chino also wiped out? Let's not worry about it. β
Ricardo shook his head and looked down at the book to hide his panic.
The world has borrowed power from that god...... But he heard Chino say that the god was afraid of him.
If the world borrows strength, does that mean that the world wants to fear him? And now he is not even as good as Voldemort, so why should he be feared by the world?
And, since he was afraid, since he was still weak...... Ricardo felt that he might really have to get stronger sooner.
Not only combat effectiveness, but also the need to become stronger.
"Harry didn't tell me what Chino said later," Dumbledore continued, "and I told Nicol about it, and he immediately asked that I stop asking. β
"Then, he asked me to tell you this story about Mr. Liu Yan, so that you can think more when you meet him."
"Meet?" Ricardo was a little surprised, "I think he meant ......"
"That's right, Mr. Lemay named you and asked you to return the Philosopher's Stone."
Seeing Ricardo's frowning appearance, Dumbledore laughed: "Don't worry, there will be nothing on the way, and Nicol will not embarrass you." β
Rika was silent for a long time, and finally asked, "What does he want to ask?" β
"Of course I don't know," Dumbledore said, "but he told me to tell you that he sold the camera." β
Camera?
Ricardo pulled out the magic cameras he had bought as a tutor in his bracers, and watched as they quickly gathered their thoughts.
He had bought the camera from a small Muggle shop, and he had found it because he had accidentally found something good - although it could only be used for surveillance for the time being, but it would be especially precious sooner or later, and only now did he know that it was just Nicol greeting him.
"Besides, he said, the enchantment was something he had allowed Headmaster Maxim to lend to a little girlβwhat a strange thing, what does that have to do with you?"
Ignoring Dumbledore's gossip on his face, Ricardo continued to think.
What was the purpose of giving him so much stuff? Gestures? That's all he could think of.
What is there in him to show favor? Extremely high mental power? Outstanding level of combat? Still is...... Through?
It seems that this can only be known when he goes to Nicol Lemay.
"When are you leaving?" Ricardo acquiesced to going there and asked.
"Hmm...... Let's go after the banquet. I'll take you there. β
Ricardo nodded and walked towards the door of the principal's office.
He'll need to get his mind in order.
Walking to the door, he suddenly turned around and asked, "So Headmaster, Voldemort...... Did you die? β
"I'm glad you cared about this, and I'm glad you dared to call him by his name after being persecuted," Dumbledore said with a laugh, "but ......"
