Chapter 199: Harry's Hardship
Hermione stopped in exhaustion, her eyes sparkling. Charon clapped softly, it's really good, it's already started, and you just need a little more practice to succeed.
Hermione practiced hard every day for the rest of the day, and her progress was visible every day, and finally, under her wand, the silvery mist turned into a surging sea, and an elegant, streamlined fish creature leaped from the surface of the sea, and the sight was simply beautiful.
"Dolphins! Your Soul Guard is a beautiful dolphin! Charon looked at it in a daze, and suddenly turned to Hermione and asked, "Is this a natural formation of your divine soul, or is it your own construction?" ”
"It's just that!" Hermione stopped and watched the beautiful dolphin slowly dissipate: "Look at how beautiful it is, I won't change it anymore!" ”
Hermione was finally out of school, and Charon breathed a sigh of relief. From the very beginning of the spirit ceremony to the normal performance of the Divine Guardian, it took a whole month, which is not out of Charon's estimate.
However, with Hermione's qualifications and diligence, how long will it take Harry and Ron? Charon was a little unimaginable.
Hermione was the first, due to her misuse of the Time Magic Weapon, which was urgent, and Charon had to hurry up to enhance her spirit and minimize the impact of the after-effects. But who is the second choice? Harry and Ron were both good friends, and he didn't want to compromise their friendship, so Charon decided to have a small meeting and spread things out, so that no matter who they were, it wouldn't affect each other's friendship.
After dinner that day, Charon and Hermione took Harry and Ron along the corridor to the Room of Requirement.
Harry and Ron were very curious along the way, but Charon only said, "There are some things that I can't explain in a sentence or two, and I will tell you in detail when the place waits." ”
Harry and Ron were ushered into the Room of Requirement, and both were amazed.
"Wow! What a place to be! Ron looked around and let out a sound of approval, "No wonder you two are mysterious every day, and your relationship is to find such a good place to date every day!" ”
"Shut up! You idiot! Hermione's face turned red all at once, and she angrily scolded the unabashed Ron.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense. Sit down and listen to me. Charon motioned for everyone to sit down, and then shared with them what he and Hermione had done for the month.
"Calling the gods to protect you?" Ron was still a little skeptical, "Such a high-level thing, give one to open my eyes!" ”
"Just look at it!" Hermione waved her wand and said "Calling the Gods", and a piece of silver light erupted, forming a surging sea, and a beautiful dolphin jumped up from the sea, her whole body glowing with dazzling silver light.
"Wow! That's cool! Harry and Ron couldn't help but look straight at it when they saw such a cool spell for the first time. Hermione triumphantly accepted the spell.
"It's a Soul Guardian spell that only works on evil creatures. Hermione also learned the Divine Soul Fortress Technique, and the two of you can't take the Divine Mind and therefore can't perceive it. Charon explained slowly.
"Oh, I see," Ron suddenly realized, "you called us here to ask if we could learn these Divine Soul Defense Techniques." Is this thing easy to learn? ”
"I'm sorry, it's very hard to learn!" Charon punctured Ron's illusions at once, "With Hermione's qualifications and hard work, it took a whole month to initially grasp this. In addition, I would like to say that the cost of learning is not small, and you have to take care of your own consumable materials. Hermione had spent about 200 gold Galleons before and after, and I had already deducted her share from it. You may have more, 400 estimates can't stop it. However, you have both made a lot of money lately, so you should still be able to afford it. ”
"So long, so tired, so expensive!" Ron recoiled when he heard this, "I'm so stupid, I'm sure I can't learn it, so let Harry learn it first." ”
In fact, Charon also thinks the same way, and the disciple also depends on his qualifications, Ron is stupid and impatient, and he is not like Harry who faces Voldemort directly. If he didn't have a strong demand, there really wasn't a need to learn this.
"I'd like to try," Harry was tempted by Charon's introduction, he always had nightmares, and just improving this was worth his efforts this time, "but do you think I can learn?" ”
"As long as you work hard, you can definitely learn." Charon first affirmed, and then he put the difficulty in the face, "But it's definitely a lot harder for you to learn than Hermione." Your soul has been infested with demonic energy for a long time, and you are weaker than other wizards. But because of this, you have to build up your divine soul protection, otherwise the future is unimaginable. ”
Harry's entry was indeed much more difficult, as Charon had estimated. Although Charon still prepared a variety of meditation aids based on the experience of Hermione's initiation ceremony, Harry still couldn't get rid of all the distractions and couldn't get to the point where his mind was like water. The initiation ritual failed.
Harry was a little frustrated, but Charon had to comfort him, and taught him the basic methods of calming the mind and calming his soul, so that he could practice every day, and at least he should memorize the "Taishang Laojun often said the Qingjing Sutra" to the fullest. Harry nodded in agreement.
Although Harry is not as qualified as Hermione, he has a natural tenacity to do things. He kept in mind the explanations that Charon gave him and completed them to the letter. A week later, Charon checked it and found it working well, so he gave Harry another initiation ceremony.
This time, Harry was really able to completely eliminate distracting thoughts, his heart was like water, and a little light of thought condensed and did not disperse, reaching the sea of consciousness. Charon was feeling that there was hope this time, but suddenly something changed, and a black gas suddenly gushed out from nowhere, making Harry's consciousness directly lost in it.
"Damn!" Charon's divine thoughts followed Harry's consciousness through the Great Array of Tranquilizers, and when he saw this scene clearly, he couldn't help but burst into foul language.
Harry's sea of consciousness was different from ordinary people, and there was a small black air mass on the periphery for no reason, surrounding his sea of consciousness like a satellite. Harry's consciousness was directly crashed into the black gas on the periphery of the black air mass, and he lost himself.
Here, Harry had woken up from his nightmare, jumping up in a cold sweat, and his mental strength had been damaged. He looked at Charon with a confused expression.
Charon was also very depressed, but he didn't dare to show it, but comforted him with confidence: "Harry, your situation is a little special, you have been infected by Voldemort's demonic energy, and your consciousness is surrounded by demonic energy. But as long as you gather your spirit, forget yourself without it, don't let the demons breed, and rush through this demonic energy, you can still complete the ritual. Well, you follow the method I taught you to recover and we'll try again in a few days. ”
Harry wasn't discouraged, he knew his own situation, and because of that, he had to work hard to get it done. After another three or five days, Harry's spirits were almost restored.
And Charon is not idle, the things of the divine soul are still the stuff of the Eastern Cultivation Realm. He asked his father for help and found a thing called talisman water in the East, and after drinking it, the divine soul will have the golden light to exorcise evil spirits, greatly reducing the demonic energy in the sea of consciousness.
This time, the two decided to try again, go all out, and if they didn't succeed, they would become benevolent. This time, Harry's will was very resolute, and the talisman water also played a big role, and the black qi outside the consciousness was compressed to a minimum. Although Harry was still affected by some influences, he gritted his teeth, turned a blind eye to all the demonic interference, and rushed straight through it, finally combining his consciousness and his divine soul. The level of Enlightenment has finally passed!
Harry's qualifications are actually not bad, the first level is the most difficult for him, and the next level is relatively simple, with the help of Charon, Harry quickly became familiar with sensing the consciousness of the true self and operating the divine soul, until finally he can easily call the divine soul without any assistance.
The next step was to teach Harry a modified version of Occlumency, also known as the Soul Fortress. The purpose of this spell is to build an impenetrable barrier around the outer circle of consciousness, completely changing the defenseless state of the soul. This was especially important to Harry, whose soul was constantly infested with the Dark Demonic and weakened.
Harry wasn't slow to learn, but as Charon feared, the magical barrier he had built was constantly being dispersed by the dark aura, making it difficult to form. There is no other way to solve the problem, but to keep practicing again and again, just like a barrage in the rapids, no matter how rapid the waves are, as long as you persevere again and again, sooner or later this big river will be cut off.
The practice of the Divine Soul Fortress Technique lasted for a long time, and Harry's perseverance finally showed results, and the barrier around the Consciousness Waiwai was finally established after being broken again and again, and as Harry's Divine Soul was strengthened, the proficiency of spellcasting became thicker and tougher. The black demonic energy could no longer seep into his sea of consciousness and affect his soul.
With the success of the Soul Fortress technique, Harry also felt that there had been a significant change in himself. The nightmare is completely gone, the spirit of the day is better, the memory is much stronger, and the happy mood is always around me.
Charon also breathed a sigh of relief, which is too difficult. Like Harry, he wasn't going to teach another one again. Mental and mental strength are too tired. That is, Harry is his buddy, and someone else would have given up a long time ago.
After this level, it is much easier to learn the Patronus Charm. Harry was even more gifted than Hermione, and it didn't take long for him to wave his wand, stirring up a silver light that succeeded in evoking his "Divine Guardian". He was a sturdy stag with strong muscles and huge horns, shining like the moon in the sky, and looking at Harry with big silver eyes. It was also a natural result of the good emotions in his heart, and Harry fell in love with it at first sight, and he decided not to change it again.
