The phoenix's tears flowed like a fountain to Aurelius's body, and its crystal color even dyed the surrounding area with a halo of brilliance.

Aurelius looked blankly at the phoenix, which suddenly began to cry, as if sensing something. So he silently reached out his hand and looked at his fingertips.

On Aurelius' pale fingertips, a black mist shook like a wave of smoke, and his fingers gradually disappeared into the air with the black mist.

And it wasn't just his fingertips that fell into a state of dissipation—Aurelius's entire body seemed to be about to turn into smoke, and the healing brilliance of the phoenix's tears couldn't stop his body from smoking. Anyone can see that there is not much left of his life!

Under such circumstances, Aurelius looked at his dissipating body, and instead laughed with relief.

"I can feel that my blood has merged with Murmur, and both are indispensable." He whispered. "I did a lot of wrong things when I was under Grindelwald, and now I can contribute to the wizarding world's research on the Silent Ones, so I guess I can make up for it."

"No, we still have the last insurance." Dumbledore shook his head and looked back at the ghost Syvan.

"Strange, over to you!"

Ghost Shiwen nodded, and floated towards Aurelius, the spell already ready to be struck on his dissipating body.

A translucent soul body was pushed out of Aurelius' body by Xiwen, with a pale and wooden face and blank eyes - it was Aurelius's soul!

And as the soul left the body, Aurelius's body completely turned into green smoke and dissipated into the air, as if it had never existed......

"I'm ...... What kind of state? Aurelius watched his body dissipate into a black mist, and then looked down at his current translucent body, and asked a little dazedly.

"You're out of body right now." Sivin floated up to Aurelius and explained to him. "It can be seen as a ghost-like state. But unlike ghosts, ghosts are only part of the soul that exists by obsession, and you are now a complete soul. ”

"Mr. Strange, how long can Aurelius be in this state?" Dumbledore followed suit, and asked softly.

"I'm afraid it won't last long." Xiwen shook his head and said with some heaviness. "It's hard for a person's soul to come out of the body. Even if the soul really goes out of the body due to an accident and leaves the protection of the body, the power of the soul will gradually weaken under the erosion of various forces in the outside world, and it will be difficult to last. ”

"My situation is quite special, I have been honing the power of my soul since I was a child, and my soul body is very condensed, and I can not be afraid of the erosion of external forces; Aurelius' soul had long been silently tortured and extremely weak, and now even if he stayed in a safe space and was not exposed to the sun, he only had about three days. ”

"So we still failed after all." Listening to Xiwen's narration, Dumbledore's eyes gradually darkened, and he sighed. "Silence has long been one with the host, indistinguishable from each other. And completely stripping it away will lead to the complete demise of the wizard's bloodline. ”

"However, if it is not stripped out of the wizard's body, the dark power in it will also slowly erode the wizard's bloodline, and there is only a difference between the two and the time of death."

Dumbledore looked at Aurelius' translucent soul with deep eyes, and sighed deeply, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

His eyes wandered, as if he had seen the soul of another little girl through half a century......

"Strange, send everyone away." Dumbledore sat down slowly on the wooden bed and whispered. "You've all done your best, there's no need to go out and face Aberforth's wrath. I'll go and explain it to him alone. ”

In the year and a half since he met Dumbledore, the wrinkles on his face had never been more noticeable than they were today.

This made Xiwen suddenly realize that Dumbledore was now close to sixty years old, and even in the wizarding world, he was not young at all......

Because of his great strength and superior intelligence, everyone has always regarded him as a pillar of the wizarding world. thought that as long as he was there, there was no need to be afraid even if the sky fell.

However, perhaps only he knows how many cruel storms and heavy snow and flutches a person needs to endure when standing alone on the top of a towering mountain.

Xiwen was silently speechless when he thought of this.

Glancing at the people around him, he silently drew a circle in front of him, summoning a dimensional door that led to Hogwarts.

However, neither Newt, Theseus, Tina, nor Karma chose to leave. They all came to Dumbledore's side silently, quietly accompanying this powerful wizard who rarely lost his soul.

……

While everyone was immersed in sadness, Aurelius, who had turned into a soul body, suddenly spoke, interrupting the silence.

"Uh...... You don't have to be so pessimistic. He said to the crowd with some confusion. Actually, I think I can still salvage ......"

Dumbledore suddenly looked up at Aurelius, the hope in his eyes burning again for a moment.

"Aurelius, do you have a solution?" He asked, looking deeply at Aurelius.

Aurelius nodded slightly, and said uncertainly, "I think I probably already know what to do." ”

Then, he stretched out his hand to the crystal ball containing the black fluid in Dumbledore's hand, and the silence inside, which had been completely quiet, immediately came alive and began to impact the transparent film of the sphere.

Dumbledore glanced at Aurelius in surprise and silently untied the orb.

As the restraints were untied, a black flocculent fluid instantly surged towards Aurelius' translucent body, enveloping it completely.

"Aurelius, if you feel something is wrong, say it, don't force yourself!" Looking at Aurelius, who was covered in the silent darkness, Dumbledore shouted at him with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Aurelius's voice came from the black mist. There seemed to be a hint of surprise and a hint of joy in his voice.

As Aurelius spoke, the black fluid gradually condensed towards the middle, its shape elongated and taller, and its texture became more and more solid.

Eventually, Silent condensed into the shape of a human being, and gradually took on colors other than black—first dark bones, then vivid flesh and delicate clothing.

The living Aurelius Dumbledore has reappeared in front of everyone's eyes!

Everyone present watched in amazement as Aurelius reappeared, wondering what the situation was like.

"How is this done?" Among them, Newt was the most surprised, and blurted out on the spot. "I mean, I've studied the properties of Silence, but never knew that this power could condense a wizard's body!"

Aurelius landed lightly on the ground and stomped his foot, feeling the touch of the entity.

"I guess that's the power of the full version of the Silent One." He laughed and said cheerfully.
