Chapter 145 Six Strange Books
Dumbledore looked at Schelling quietly.
After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth and said: "You are right. The pursuit of power is part of human nature. Power can bring benefits, glory, and power. On the plus side, it can maintain your own dignity and protect those around you..."
"The question is whether you have the ability to control power, rather than being dominated by power in the end." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with blazing light, and he said earnestly: "A real strong man has power, but he will not abuse it—have you heard the story of Peverell? The eldest of the three brothers relies too much on power, and it will only lead to destruction in the end."
"Professor, you're speaking too lightly—Harry's father and Sirius are unregistered Animagus, right? Why didn't I see you report them, send them to Azkaban, and make Potter the son of criminals?" Schelling argued, "Professor Moody's trash can attacked Muggles, and it was published in the newspapers. As a result, nothing happened under Mr. Weasley's interference—isn't this the so-called abuse of power?"
Xie Lin came to the conclusion in a cold voice: "It can be seen that everyone will use the power in their hands unconsciously to make things develop in a direction that is beneficial to them." He looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes and said softly: "The difference is that you have your justice in your heart, and I have my justice in my heart."
Schelling was a little tired of this kind of chicken soup-style preaching, and he continued without waiting for Dumbledore to talk, "If you came to me today to talk about my registration for the Triwizard Tournament, then I can tell you frankly——I violated the regulations, I broke the age group you set, and I participated in the Triwizard Tournament, but what I did was only for the pursuit of greater power, that's all. I have nothing to do with ruling the world and pursuing immortality Not interested."
Dumbledore's eyes seemed to light up, and he said with a smile: "My child, you misunderstood me. I never doubted that you would join the Death Eaters, and I would not judge a person's future based on his origin. I think I can assure you of this."
"Hogwarts is a very inclusive college. It is not that there are no students from Death Eater families in the school. We are willing to recruit these students because we believe that every young soul is beautiful, and every soul is worthy of our protection...I am very happy, child, I am really happy, you are willing to say this to an old man like me today..."
Dumbledore untied the first knot in his heart.
One of the reasons why he recruited Xie Lin this time was because he felt Xie Lin's eager pursuit of power ambitions, coupled with the impact of Meredith's disappearance on Xie Lin, he was worried that Xie Lin would fall under the temptation of extreme thoughts and power, and embarked on a dark road, so he specially invited him to talk about his thoughts, hoping to enlighten him and prevent him from going astray.
Of course, this is only one of the reasons.
Another reason is that so many things have happened recently that he is a little uneasy, and he decides to take insurance for his plan.
Yes, he didn't intend to let Xie Lin grow up freely anymore, he planned to pull Xie Lin into his plan.
Dumbledore looked at Schelling with kind eyes, and said gently: "Actually, I came to you today mainly to talk about what's on your mind, and to see how I, as the headmaster, can help you."
Um?Is this a pass?Xie Lin thought to himself.
It seems that the old man really doesn't know about the Sleeping Dragon Society and Kingsley!
Don't look at the hype that Xie Lin said, in fact, facing one of the smartest wizards of this century, it would be a lie if he didn't feel guilty at all.
At this moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind.
It seems that Dumbledore is not all-knowing and omnipotent. He read too many fan fictions in his previous life, and he seems to think too highly of him.
Of course Dumbledore didn't know the various thoughts that were turning in Xie Lin's mind.
He said self-consciously: "There are a few things to come to you, let's start with the first thing! Xie Lin, I vaguely feel the familiar magic power on your body. Although the feeling is very faint, I think my feeling is not wrong... I guess, you have already been in contact with Abatel, right?"
Xie Lin was stunned for a moment, Dumbledore actually knew about Abatel, and he could still feel the familiar magic power in himself, could it be that...
Dumbledore knew that he had guessed right when he saw Schelling's eyes, and said with a smile: "You don't need to tell me where your Abately came from, I don't have any covetous intentions about it..." Then Dumbledore took out a book from the drawer and said, "Since you have already contacted Abately, and you may also use this in the next Triwizard Tournament, this book will be given to you by the principal as a reward for your glory for the school."
Sure enough, what Dumbledore took out was "Abatere Volume Four"!
Xie Lin's heart was full of turbulent waves, but he was still able to maintain a blank expression.Although he coveted this magical book, he would not easily accept other people's kindness, especially when that person was Dumbledore.
No one would argue that Dumbledore was the best chess player in the books.Even if he is dead, he can still count Voldemort.
Dumbledore gave himself such a big gift, saying that there was no conspiracy behind him, and Schelling would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
"Professor," Schelling said cautiously, "as the saying goes, no work, no gain. First of all, I have already violated the rules by signing up for the Triwizard Tournament, and I may not be able to win this game for Hogwarts. Don't forget that the opponents are all adult wizards... I think it would be more appropriate to wait for me to make some contributions about this gift?"
"Is that so?" Dumbledore's eyes flickered with incomprehensible light, "I don't think so!"
"I am very optimistic about you, Schelling," Dumbledore said softly, "I think your strength is not inferior to them at all. To be honest, I think——you are the strongest warrior in this competition!"
Xie Lin lowered his head slightly and fell into silence.
I can only say, is it worthy of Dumbledore?
Since this semester, Schelling has been unusually low-key.That's right, although the trick he and Draco teamed up with was astonishing, but after all, the two of them joined forces to cast the family secret spell. Who knows if this secret spell will have the joint bonus effect of the casters of the same blood?
As for resisting the Imperius Curse in the Dark Magic class and successfully casting the Transformation Curse in the Transfiguration class, these are at best the performance of an excellent student, right?It's really not amazing.
(Note: For the convenience of readers’ comparison, Harry resisted the Imperius Curse on the fourth try in the first class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and Hermione also mastered the basic conversion spell in the first class of Transfiguration)
It seemed that Dumbledore, like Merlin, saw something in himself.These old monsters obviously don't have magical eyes, but they have a bunch of unknown detection methods, which is really troublesome.
Dumbledore watched Schelling's reaction and smiled with satisfaction.
"Before accepting this gift, I would like to ask you to listen to me for a few words," he said, "Do you know the story of Abatel?"
"Yes, Professor," Schelling replied, "Abatyr has a long history. It is said that it appeared before Hogwarts was established. The identity of the author is unknown, but it is most likely completed by more than one person. Later, it was divided into eight in a war and scattered all over the place. Even the publishing houses of the Muggle world printed some of the contents of the fragmented volumes... Each volume corresponds to a magical field, namely Charmology, Magic Mechanics, Transfiguration, Cursing, Enchantment, Curse, Spirit, and Soul..."
"You really surprised me. Everything you said just now is true," Dumbledore nodded. "The volume in my hand is the Transfiguration, which corresponds to the magical field of transfiguration. I heard that you are learning human transfiguration from Minerva. This book can just help you... Finally, I would like to ask, have you heard of the legendary six strange books?"
"Six Strange Books?" Xie Lin asked suspiciously, how could there be such a thing? This sounds like a routine of Internet articles from the previous life, and it couldn't be the old man's nonsense, right?
Dumbledore said slowly: "The so-called Six Great Books are actually not a legend, but a real existence. It's just that very few people know about it. I also heard it from an old friend of mine..."
Old friend again?Is it an old lover?Xie Lin had a dark heart in his heart.
"The Six Great Books are six magic books with a long history. It is said that all our magic theories have been developed based on the above records," Dumbledore continued. "The Six Great Books are the Book of Truth, the Book of the Phoenix, the Book of Druids, Abatel, the Book of the Dead, and the Book of Dark Revelation. The first three are books of white magic, and the last three are books of black magic. Of course, I am not criticizing these books. After all, no matter what magic is, it depends on the person who uses it. It belongs to the Dark Wizard."
Xie Lin asked curiously: "Please allow me to ask, Professor, do you know the origin of these six strange books? Where are they now?"
"The Book of Truth is the pinnacle of alchemy. My old partner Nicole Flamel once owned half of it," Dumbledore said with a smile, "I have reason to believe that he passed it on to you before he died."
ah!Schelling couldn't help but think of the locked book he had received from Nico.The cover of that book has no name, and it is locked with a special alchemical lock, which can only be opened with alchemy, and Schelling has studied it for so long, but still has no clue.
Xie Lin's alchemy is already very powerful. With the samples, he can even copy the invisibility cloak of Death, but he is still helpless with this alchemy lock.Thinking of this, he had no choice but to feel admiration and longing for Nicole Flamel's true strength.
At the same time, Xie Lin thought of another question, "Professor, do you mean to say that the amazing alchemy of Mr. Ilmay was only learned from half of the book of truth?"
"Yes," Dumbledore nodded, "That's why Nico's alchemy is flawed—although he is respected as the most powerful alchemist of our time, in fact, only he knows the bitterness behind him..."
"Because his inheritance is incomplete, it is only a coincidence that he successfully created the Philosopher's Stone. He cannot make the next Philosopher's Stone, nor can he teach this knowledge to others."
"Ah?" Xie Lin was refreshed. It turns out that this is the reason why Lemay only made one Philosopher's Stone!
But what does this have to do with apprenticeships?
Dumbledore saw Schelling's doubts, and he explained: "Nicole also had good intentions, and he actually didn't want to break the inheritance, but he was more worried that once the inheritance fell into the wrong hands, once that person couldn't resist the temptation of endless life and infinite wealth, he tried to refine the Sorcerer's Stone, but he didn't have the luck of Nicol—it's a trivial matter to waste materials if the refining fails, and it is very likely to cause a series of unknown disasters..."
"I see, so what happened to the other half of the book?" Schelling asked.
Dumbledore fell into silence, and he looked at Schelling meaningfully, with an uncertain gleam in his eyes.
After a long time, Dumbledore said slowly, "Speaking of which, do you know anything about the Hohenheim family?"
A bright light flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, is it really related to the Hohenheim family?
Schelling said: "Know some. They are a famous pure-blood family in Germany, famous for their healing magic and alchemy. The ancestor should be the mysterious Palaser."
Dumbledore smiled, "I'm afraid you know more than that... Don't you know the direction of their alchemy?"
Xie Lin pretended to be thinking, and after a long silence, he said, "The human body is tempered?"
Dumbledore's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he said in a low voice: "This is my guess—as we all know, the purpose of alchemy is first to 'immortality', then 'resurrection', and finally 'beyond eternity'. Niko barely reached the first step, I guess..."
"The reason why Nico stayed in this state, and even relied on luck in the middle, was because his inheritance only had the part of 'immortality'. As a result, although he managed to maintain the immortality of his soul and body, he irresistibly ushered in aging. This aging was not only reflected in his body, but also reflected in his soul, resulting in the loss of emotion and the numbness of the mind..."
"I suspect that what is recorded in the second half of the Book of Truth is the secret to overcoming the flaws of the Philosopher's Stone." Dumbledore's eyes suddenly lit up, "And the Hohenheim family, which is dedicated to studying the human body and soul, has become the object of my suspicion..."
"The professor suspects that they have collected the second half of the Book of Truth?" Schelling probably understood what Dumbledore meant. After all, what else in this world is more resistant to aging than refining the body and soul?
The textual research post related to the work has been updated: "About Nicolas and the Book of Abraham", if you are interested, you can take a look. (Author: Every time I write that Dumbledore gets ancient secrets from his old friend Grindelwald, I always wonder if there are any fan fictions that travel to the Bagshot archaeological family. I feel that there are many things to write about wizard archaeology)
