Chapter 234: Who Are You?
Seeing off Cornelius Fudge, Dumbledore sat across from the Knicks, "Would you like some candy?"
"No, Headmaster." Nix replied.
After a moment of silence, Dumbledore asked, "Who are you?"
The Knicks thought Dumbledore was trying to ask something. Want to make sure if the Knicks have been replaced by bugs and trees. It's hard to tell, especially since those two guys have fused and entered the depths of his soul.
He could only reply, "Nick Lestrange."
Dumbledore was silent.
Nicks explained, "Headmaster Dumbledore, you don't need to worry, if it were them, they wouldn't be coming back, and it's better to leave Hogwarts and hide."
"Also, thank you for helping me, Headmaster."
Dumbledore smiled and said, "My students are asking me for help, how can I not care."
Knicks thought back for a moment, "Headmaster, I did want to ask you for help, but I didn't seem to have a chance to tell you."
"I can feel that you are asking me for help, but unfortunately I didn't know how to save you until I looked at your memories and decided how to do it." Dumbledore explained, "You were influenced by them, and your first contact with the Dementors freed you from them. I just had the opportunity to contact the Dementors, and although the plan was hasty, it worked, didn't it?"
"Thank you again, Headmaster."
Dumbledore: "Knicks, can you show me that card?"
Nicks thought about it, Dumbledore shouldn't be able to do such a tasteless thing as snatching students' things, and took out tarot cards and put them on the table.
The tarot cards are back to normal, the moon above is clean, nothing is parasitic. There are all kinds of creatures under the moon, but there is no one, and perhaps Russell finds it uncomfortable to draw himself under the moon.
Dumbledore picked up the card and looked at it, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Nicks reminded, "Explore with magic."
When Dumbledore's magic penetrated into it, the tarot cards became three-dimensional, resembling a miniature book, with a line of bright text appearing on the cover of the book.
"Sequence 0: The Moon!"
The book is windless and automatic, and a figure slowly emerges, and the Knicks look at the figure in surprise, is this Russell? The figure was dressed in a doctor's white lab coat with the following words written next to it:
"Sequence 9: The Pharmacist."
"Good at mixing potions, domesticating and using plants and ......"
"Potion Recipe: Main Ingredient: Horn ...... of an Adult Unicorn Pegasus"
Dumbledore clicked curiously, and the pages flipped to the page.
"Sequence 8: The Beast Tamer."
……
All of the recipes and abilities of the Moon Sequence were presented to Dumbledore, and finally the wielder had some subtle connection to the potion materials needed for his own sequence.
Nicks suddenly realized that it was not an accident that he went to the Forbidden Forest to obtain the remains of vampires and the blood of unicorns, but the role of tarot cards.
In addition, he guessed that the bug's memory contained the recipe for the desecration tablet, and that the medicine man's ability was to make potions, and the disguised system combined the abilities of the two to identify other potion material substitutes, giving him the illusion that he could make all potions.
Nicks knew that Harry had tried the tarot card but didn't activate it, and it was estimated that only those who had drunk potions could activate the tarot cards, and those who had not drunk potions saw an ordinary card.
After the book shows the sequence, it thins again and turns into a tarot card.
Dumbledore asked, "Can you let me study for a while?" I'm curious about how it's made and the unknown text on it."
Nicks asked in surprise, "Headmaster, don't you understand?" I can translate it for you."
Tani: "No, I understand. No, I guess I understand what it means, but I don't understand the text. If I take those words out of my pocket, I don't understand them."
Nicks was surprised that this also comes with an automatic translation feature.
It was actually Dumbledore's magic that activated the tarot cards, so he could read the books that the tarot cards were made of.
Nicks understands the text because he accepts the memory of the bug, and what he sees in another person is a mess of words.
Dumbledore: "Filch doesn't seem to be described in this way."
"They're all different paths, and they don't show up on this card."
"Do you have any other cards?"
Nicks shook his head, "No, only one, but they've seen the others. So I can make it too."
"Can you write it all?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes." Nyx took a piece of parchment and wrote twenty-two paths, and he didn't write the formula, just the name and effect of the potion.
As Nicks writes, Dumbledore says, "Can you show me your memory?"
Nicks thought about it for a moment, Dumbledore had seen the previous meditation basin, and he knew everything he should know and what he shouldn't know. What he wanted to see was definitely not his previous memory, but the events of the past few hours, probably to determine whether he was or not the Knicks.
"Yes." Nicks put down his pen and walked towards the meditation basin.
Dumbledore stopped him, "Knicks, it doesn't need to be like this. I teach how to extract the memories you want.
It's easy to take out memories as long as you use 'Mind Take' on yourself, but keep them in your wand and don't flow into your mind again."
"Headmaster, I'm not going to 'take the mind.'" Nick Dow.
"It's very simple, when you cast a spell, you can wave your wand like this, and when you become proficient, you can omit the spell and the method of wielding your wand, and you can extract your memories with your thoughts." Dumbledore demonstrated a Dementor.
The Knicks quickly got their hands on the knock. Draw the memories of the last three hours to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore went to the meditation basin with his memories.
When the Knicks had finished writing all twenty-two paths, Dumbledore returned.
A smile bloomed on his face, confirming that the Knicks were really rescued and not replaced by something.
He took the parchment that Nicks had written and looked at for a moment, and asked, "Which one did you give Ron a drink?"
"This." Nix pointed to the bottom.
Dumbledore looked at the entire sequence. "This looks okay. What are the Malfoys?"
Nix pointed to the Sun's path, "The first three of this one."
Dumbledore frowned, "Why this?"
Knicks thought for a long time, "Maybe it's a bad taste, I was a little crazy at the time."
"I guess that's what you gave Lupin." Dumbledore pointed to Sequence 7 Werewolves.
"The first one is this, and I just gave him this one to drink." Nicks pointed to the Sequence 6 living corpse above.
After a while, Dumbledore put down the parchment and asked, "Nyx, do you have any memories of the soul that crashed into it?"
"I'm sorry, Headmaster, I don't have a memory of it." The Knicks lied, he didn't have it, but he didn't have a complete memory.
Dumbledore pondered, his memories of watching before finding a lot wrong, and he speculated that the problem was with the soul that had crashed into the tarot card. Now Knicks' suspicions have made Dumbledore suspicious. Again, "Who are you?"
