Chapter 114 The Origin of the Soul
A new semester has begun.
Xie Lin's Charms, Potions, and Transfiguration classes were far ahead of his learning progress. This semester, he decided to focus on improving the Iron Armor Curse.
Protego is a spell that can resist a variety of spells. It can create a magical barrier to deflect spells and physical entities. A skilled magician can even make incoming spells be bounced directly back to the direction of the caster.
What is less known is that there are actually many more advanced applications behind the Iron Armor Curse. For example, "Protego Totalum" (Protego Totalum) is a variant of the Iron Armor Curse. It can summon a barrier to protect a specific area or a certain building, block or repel most spells, and prevent enemies from attempting to invade the protected area.
To put it simply, it is a magic that combines the functions of a protective barrier and an isolation barrier.
When Hermione cast the spell in the original book, Harry saw a slight vibration in the air around him, as if Hermione had conjured a puff of heat above the clearing.That air current is an invisible barrier.
Another variation of the Iron Armor Charm is Protego Horribilis (Protego Horribilis).It is an advanced version of "All Protection", the effect is powerful enough that Voldemort took a lot of effort to break it, and it is the strongest defensive spell.
The effect of this magic is the same as that of "All Protection", but the range of protection is larger and wider, and the barrier is more difficult to break.When Flitwick cast it on the castle in the final battle in the original book, Harry heard a strange whirring sound. It seemed that Flitwick released the power of the wind to the playground, and that wind was an invisible barrier.
Obviously, the difference in power between the two protection spells can be seen from the strength of the airflow and the accompanying sound effect of the airflow.
These two advanced protection spells can also be used in conjunction with "Salvio Hexia" to enhance the barrier's defense against curses; they can also be used in conjunction with "Fianto Duri" to increase the strength and durability of the barrier; they can also be used in conjunction with the Muggle Repelling Spell and the Enemy Repelling Spell, so that the barrier can drive away Muggles who approach accidentally, and can also identify hostile enemies so that they cannot sneak in.
(Note: Protego Horribilis literally means "resisting evil", but it was translated by the People's Association as "super-strong armor protection". As a result, it was used by the protagonists as an enhanced version of the Iron Armor Curse in a lot of fan fiction. In fact, this is not a combat magic. The original work said that Professor Flitwick needs to set up a protective shield in advance without human interference, and must read "very complicated spells")
(In layman's terms, the Iron Armor Curse is to create a shield in front of the caster; all protection is to create a small air current shield in a small area; all evil is to create a large whirlwind shield in a large area)
What Schelling wanted to do was to skillfully combine all the defensive spells and use them flexibly in different situations.
During the first week of school, herbal medicine class was about balbo tubers.Babo tubers are very ugly plants that look like black, slimy slugs that stick straight out of the soil.And each of them was wriggling slightly, and there were many shiny big bulges on their bodies, which seemed to be filled with liquid.
The little wizards need to squeeze the pustules with their hands to collect the pus inside.Care must be taken during this process not to splash the pus on the skin.Undiluted babo tuber pus, causing unusual damage to the skin.
The process of squeezing a tuber is disgusting, but also strangely satisfying.Whenever a bulge is squeezed, a large stream of viscous yellow-green liquid will be sprayed out, and a pungent gasoline smell will be emitted.
Schelling was very attentive in this class. Babo tuber is one of the important ingredients in the beauty potion he wants to develop. It is very important to understand its habits and medicinal properties.
Without exception, under his leadership, even if the team lacked a member, his team once again took the highest score.
Schelling cast a sideways glance at Draco's group, seeing Crabbe popping the whole Bubbo tuber, splashing himself and Goyle all over.Large yellow blisters appeared on their faces and arms.Draco was fine, and with his excellent reaction, he used an armor spell to block the pus, which immediately aroused applause from the little snakes.
While complaining loudly about Goyle and Crabbe's incompetence, Draco used the water-making spell to clean the pus from their bodies.Although the pus was washed away from Xiao Ersha's body, the exposed skin was already covered with thick, painful pimples and scars.
"Oh, Merlin's beard," Professor Sprout hurried over upon seeing this scene, "I think you two had better go to the Colonel's Hospital and let Ms. Pomfrey take a look..."
"It's okay, professor, don't worry." Draco took out a bottle of potion from his arms, "This is a trauma potion I made myself, just use this to rub on the affected area and it will be fine."
At this moment, Goyle and Crabbe were already in unbearable pain. They impatiently took the potion and applied it on their bodies. The pimples and scars melted away at a speed visible to the eyes, without even a trace. As if everything just now was an illusion.
Pansy looked at Draco fascinatedly, but Audrey and Tracy also looked at Draco passionately.Draco stole the limelight, showing a very smug look.
Although Draco's behavior didn't get his group any marks (in fact, his group's marks were extremely low due to the stupid mistakes of the two), but he was the well-deserved protagonist throughout the class and the focus of everyone's discussion.
Daphne and Murray looked at Schelling who was expressionless and silent, and they both had a terrible thought in their hearts, something will happen between the two brothers, right?
After the herbal medicine class, Murray approached Schelling and said he wanted to have a private talk with him, so Daphne went back to the Slytherin lounge first.
Schelling and Murray came to a hidden corridor in the castle. There were no classrooms or offices here, and no one would come here usually.
"Sherin, are you okay?" Murray's eyes were full of worry.
"It's okay, what can I do?" Xie Lin always smiled gently. "It's you, a summer vacation is gone. Didn't you tell me that you and your family went to France for vacation? Did you have a good trip?"
Murray didn't answer, but looked at Xie Lin fixedly, as if looking for something on Xie Lin's face.
"What's the matter? Is there a flower growing on my face?" Sherin said with a smile.
"Don't change the subject!" Murray said a little grumpily, contrary to her previous gentle personality, "You've always been like this, always wearing that fake smile—"
Her voice suddenly choked up, "In your heart, am I only worthy of having fun with you?" As she spoke, her reddish eyes misted, "Could it be that, from the beginning to the end, you never regarded me as a friend you could trust?"
"Mo Rui..." Since time travel, Xie Lin has long been used to disguising himself no matter who he is, even his close relatives. He never thought of the harm he would do to others. For a moment, he felt guilt and pity. He pursed his lips and said softly, "I'm sorry..."
"I don't want your apology!" Murray rushed forward, hugging Schelling tightly, "I've heard about Meredith...I don't even have a deep friendship with her, but it's enough to make me feel uncomfortable and restless throughout the summer vacation...I've been thinking, I've been worrying, what will you do, this incident must have hit you hard...The result? We finally met, but you were like a normal person, asking me if my summer vacation was good!"
Murray raised her head. She who had cried before was like a pear blossom with rain. She stretched out her hand and rubbed Xie Lin's brow vigorously. She said in a trembling voice, "Don't be like this again, okay? Aren't you Alone, you and me, whatever your unhappiness, whatever your pain, I am willing to share with you..."
There was a bitterness in Xie Lin's heart, why did he want to do this?
Last semester, he encountered Gemma's betrayal, and was forced to turn against Hermione, and a mysterious student organization "Ghost Club" was also involved behind the scenes. Can he say these things?
After the summer vacation, Meredith's whereabouts are unknown, the troubles behind Shadow of the Dragon, Draco's changes, Mad-Eyes Moody's abnormality, and the collapse of the plot... One thing after another happened one after another. Come, and almost everything is beyond his control, he has too many worries and pressures in his heart, he doesn't even have time to feel sad.
"Actually, I've always known it, but I just didn't say it..." Murray's voice trembled even more, and she finally mustered up the courage to speak her heart out, "Occlumency, right? You know Occlumency, and you're very accomplished, right? You don't have to lie to me anymore, your eyes...I know...that's the eyes of an Occlumency practitioner...empty, without emotion..."
"Moray, I..." Xie Lin hesitated for a long time, and finally turned into a long sigh, "I'm sorry. I do understand Occlumency, and I have been using it to hide my true feelings, but I definitely don't trust you."
"I'm a selfish person," Schelling said bitterly to himself. "I've always known this. I have my own goals. I have my own goals. I have my own goals, but I don't have the courage to let anyone know. Because I'm afraid, I'm afraid, when you know who I really am, you will leave me."
Murray reached out and touched Xie Lin's handsome face, "Do you know that any magic has a corresponding price, and the price can be magic power, physical strength, or even life. Occlumency, this magic that requires neither a wand nor magic power, what is the price, do you know?"
"I have no idea……"
Murray's face was full of distress and pity. "Emptying out all emotions is only the most basic principle of Occlumency. When you practice it deeply, you need to suppress your emotions forcibly, even to the point where you completely shut down the functions corresponding to emotions in your brain. When you deny all your emotions, pain and sorrow, the cracks in your heart, and the inner conflict of your personality... your character and your soul will be distorted, destroyed, and even torn..."
Xie Lin suddenly realized that this was the reason why his spiritual magic and soul magic had been advancing by leaps and bounds recently - he suppressed his longing and grief for Meredith, he suppressed his anxiety and fear for Draco, he suppressed all the pain in his heart...
The more repressed, the more damaged the soul is, and the stronger the power of the soul?
So, are Dumbledore and Voldemort so fond of playing mysteries?
"Do you know? Even though your eyes are emotionless, there are more and more creases between your brows. Your heart is overwhelmed, and it's calling for help—" Murray's voice is so heartbreaking, "I beg you, Schelling, please pay attention to your own emotions, and stop trying to bear all the pain alone..."
From Yi Ren's soft words, Xie Lin felt deep and pure concern.This warmed his heart, and he thought of Narcissa, and even his nagging parents in his previous life. It seemed that he was really lucky, and there was no shortage of "love" around him.
Schelling smiled, genuinely.Regardless of his Voldemort, Dumbledore, and the shadow of the dragon!
No matter how many thorns and troubles there will be in the future, if you can't control the happiness at this moment, wouldn't you be wasting your life once again?
Schelling undid Occlumency.
The faces of Meredith and Draco emerged in his mind, and a burst of intense grief came to his heart, mixed with negative emotions such as fear, anxiety, helplessness, bitterness, and gloom. The heart twitched as if unable to bear the excessive emotions, and Schelling's body couldn't help shaking.
Murray's eyes finally glowed. She gently hugged Xie Lin's head into her arms, and said softly: "If you want to cry, you can cry. Sometimes it's sexy for a man to cry."
The fragrance of Maury's body was passed into his nose, and Xie Lin felt the warmth of the person in front of him. His eyes were hot, and tears finally welled up uncontrollably. He swallowed, "Maury, I'm so scared, I'm afraid I won't be able to save Mei again! I'm afraid that Draco has really become my enemy! I'm afraid that I'm going on the wrong path! I'm afraid that I will bring everyone around me to hell! I'm so afraid..."
Murray gently stroked Xie Lin's back with his jade hands, comforting him in a low voice, and finally a gratified smile appeared on his face.
The two of them were intoxicated with each other's time, but no one noticed that the strange black energy attached to Xie Lin's magic power was escaping from his body extremely slowly. The magic power stripped off the black energy was like the purest stream, flowing happily in his body quickly, turning into colorful colors.
The side effects of Occlumency are official, Pottermore original: My (Rowling's) UK editor once questioned Draco's Occlumency so well that Harry never mastered it.I argued that his ability to seal off his emotions so easily, to distance himself from them, and to deny parts of his personality, was a perfect fit for his character description.At the end of Order of the Phoenix, Dumbledore tells Harry that his ability to feel this pain is a fundamental part of his humanity; as for Draco, I tried to show that the denial of pain and the repression of inner conflicts only lead to broken personalities (who are more inclined to hurt others).
