Chapter 322: One year is better than seven years
I didn't pay much attention to Sebastian and Omines's mental journey. After the conversation, Adam left them and went to Federot.
Although Omines's soul magic is not yet accurate, Adam still has three unforgivable curses waiting for him to study.
Even if Omines disagrees in the end, Adam doesn't have to use legitimate means to obtain the magic inheritance of the Gaunt family. He just has to take the right path.
"You're back."
Adam pushed open the door of the ward and found Anne reading a book on the bed.
"Well, do you remember what time it was when you woke up?"
Adam picked up the treatment record book next to him.
"Ten seventeen."
Anne knew it very well, because Adam had told her to pay attention to this aspect before, and he also put a clock next to it.
Originally, this kind of thing should be the responsibility of the patient's family members who accompany him, but Solomon's situation... those who understand it all understand it. It's better to let him do more work to earn money to buy Anne's treatment materials and food instead of accompanying her.
What? Adam has treated Anne for free, so he can't be held responsible for the expenses incurred during the process, right?
No way? No way?
"Ten and seventeen... Well, based on the data from several times, it can be roughly confirmed that the sleep time after the improved plan has been shortened to about half of the previous time."
Adam recorded the time in his hand, looked at Anne to observe her soul state, and consciously pondered and compared the information about the soul reflected in these treatments.
Although the time required is shorter than before, the effect is actually not just twice as simple as before.
Originally, Anne would be in a coma for about thirty-two hours after a treatment. This situation is a passive coma after the soul is damaged, and the self-healing efficiency of the soul is actually very low.
But Anne now sleeps for about eighteen hours each time. She actively enters the sleep state under the effect of magic, and it is eighteen hours of deep sleep, and the healing effect on the soul is far more significant than before.
According to this efficiency, if Anne's curse can maintain its current state and not continue to erode, then conservatively estimated...
Three years and two months plus three or four days, that is, Anne's sleep time, not longer.
"It's still a bit long."
Adam turned the pencil in his hand and whispered.
Ideally, he would stay for a year at most, that is, he would leave after Yug completed his mission in history.
Although Yug has not graduated yet, and if Ominis agrees to go to the future, he will have to wait for him to graduate, but for Adam, he can go directly after their graduation, and there is no need to wait day by day.
"I am very satisfied to be cured, thank you, Adam."
Annie didn't know what Adam thought, she just thought that this long referred to the time she slept for treatment.
Sleeping for eighteen hours is indeed not in line with normal work and rest, but Anne is very satisfied to be able to stay away from the torture of the curse and recover.
Adam didn't explain anything, nodded to Anne, left the ward, and returned to his study room-this was originally Sebastian's bedroom, and now it has been changed into a place for Adam to think and study.
For Anne's treatment, Sebastian is even willing to sleep on the dining table when he comes back on weekends.
After sitting down, Adam's mind was on the Unforgivable Curses. The three Unforgivable Curses are all magics targeting the soul, stripping the soul, controlling the soul, and torturing the soul.
The Killing Curse strips the soul from the body, so it can cause death without any wounds, and the soul stripped by the Killing Curse can appear in a hazy fantasy, or can be used to make a Horcrux.
The Imperius Curse can control the soul of a person. A wizard who is very good at this can even control others almost without any flaws, and after casting the spell and giving the order, unless the order needs to be changed, there is no need to distract and continue to control during the period when the curse is effective.
The Cruciatus Curse can cause slight damage to the soul of a person. This kind of damage that ignores the protection of the body can bring the most direct and unaccustomed pain. And under intentional control, the damage caused by the Cruciatus Curse to a person is far less than the punishment imposed on the body.
Among these three magic spells, the one that contains the most secrets of the soul is...
"The Imperius Curse."
Adam spoke without hesitation.
The difficulty of capturing alive is undoubtedly much higher than injuring or killing.
Then, let's start with the Imperius Curse, and then use the other two spells to fill in the gaps.
After a little thought, Adam got up and went out. When he came back, a chubby little field mouse and a spider followed him.
Looking at the two little things rolling on the ground, Adam touched his chin and said:
"Creatures with different soul strengths have different difficulties when controlling..."
The specific manifestation is probably that the smarter and stronger the willpower of the animal, the more difficult it is to control.
Don't underestimate the intelligence of rodents. Although they can't weave webs to hunt, the IQ of field mice is much higher than that of spiders. The IQ of spiders is actually very low, or the IQ of arthropods is generally very low.
"But these differences in difficulty can be solved by more powerful magic..."
At this point, Adam was silent.
The main caster hit a powerful flying brick, yes, this is very wizard.
"Forget it, let's deduce the magic circle based on the magic of the Imperius Curse, and then disassemble and study it..."
Closing his eyes, Adam began a long and meticulous work in his mind.
…
When Adam came out of retreat after improving 20 versions of the treatment plan (Adam was embarrassed to include the version that let Anne recover by sleeping at the beginning), he curiously asked about the situation on Yug's side, and he felt as if he was in another world.
Going through trials, destroying poachers' camps, fighting goblins, rescuing magical animals...
Indeed, he was basically in retreat during this period, except for taking over the information on soul magic found by Omenis, but he was in retreat for less than half a year!
Because he knew in advance that Yug would defeat the goblin's conspiracy in a year, Adam was mentally prepared that Yug's experience would be legendary, but he never expected that Yug's campus life would be so...
Colorful.
"Is he going to experience all the excitement of Harry's seven years in one year? One year is better than seven years?"
Adam couldn't help but complain. Yug was simply sweeping all the way, and his record was much more fierce than that of Harry's trio.
Although those who died were all damned people, Yug really killed his way in and out!
"What?"
Yog, who was still a little unsatisfied after talking about his journey of salvation, didn't hear Adam's words clearly.
"Oh, nothing..."
Adam shook his head and turned to look at Sebastian and Omenis:
"Annie can now live like a normal person, and the curse in her body has been restricted. She won't get worse without my treatment... Of course, the premise is that Anne doesn't use magic, or is not hit by other magic that affects the soul."
The method Adam used included some of the magical principles of the Killing Curse and the Imperius Curse, and of course there was the help of other magic provided by Omenis. Now those souls eroded by the curse have been separated and controlled separately, but they have not been really separated from Anne's soul.
Now there is a delicate balance between the curse and the soul, the eroded soul and the healthy soul. Once Anne uses magic, the balance will be broken, and the same is true if she is hit.
In this regard, Sebastian certainly promised with great determination that he would protect Anne with his life.
