Chapter 91 The Secret of Spiritual Power

Wo Bu Geng Xin
In the principal's office, a group of portraits of the principal stared at the two people below. They were just portraits and could not do anything else.Those ambitions are lost in the long river of time.
But now they only have to hear some news from each new headmaster.
I don't have any other ideas, it's just a picture to relieve boredom.
And below, an old man with a gray beard and a man with a black oily head sat on both sides of the principal's desk.
Snape frowned as he looked at Dumbledore who was adjusting a weird instrument.
But Dumbledore seemed so engrossed in the cube-shaped instrument that he didn't seem to notice Snape's expression at all.
"cough……"
Snape coughed lightly.
And Dumbledore raised his hand...and scratched the back of his head, with a troubled expression on his face, and put the cube in front of his eyes with the other hand, looking over and over again.
The black line on Snape's face, deep in his hands, gently clasped the table with his knuckles.
"What on earth did you think?"
Snape looked angrily at Dumbledore who was a little dazed.
Dumbledore blinked, then looked at Snape's face which was getting uglier, smiled, and put the cube in his hand on the table.
"It's nothing. After all, it's just a play among a group of children. They take it seriously, and you take it too? But don't make too much noise."
Dumbledore smiled at Snape.
There was no relief on Snape's face: "The others are children. Can Gaunt be a child?"
He looked at Dumbledore more and more strangely, and said seriously: "He seems to have seen through my thoughts today. The cooperation from the beginning to the end was very good... You really didn't warn me in advance?"
"It's nothing unusual to see through it." Dumbledore smiled and shook his head, "Other people don't understand normal, and it's not their turn to think about such things."
Snape wished he could roll his eyes to Dumbledore's death.He was clearly on the same side as him before, treating Luke with caution.But for some reason, after a few days passed, his face completely changed.
Does this little ghost really have some charm magic?Can Minerva and Dumbledore be confused?
Then why didn't it work for me?This kid looks down on him?
All kinds of ideas came to Snape's mind, but he didn't know which one was right, or which one was wrong.
"Is there still 'Spirit Summoning'?"
Dumbledore asked abruptly.
Snape came back to his senses in an instant, looked at Dumbledore's old and gentle eyes, but nodded.
"It's been boiling all the time, but you also know that the production of this thing cannot be increased."
Snape said seriously: "Also, if you want me to make a new, simpler formula. At least tell me where this thing can be used."
"It's just a sleep aid, and if you refresh your mind afterwards, it's too tasteless."
"Ah, Severus, you still don't understand what a blessing a good night's sleep is to an old man!"
Dumbledore said quite emotionally.
Snape was annoyed to hear that.I have been asking for so many years, and I have repeated this sentence over and over again.The ghosts believe that this thing is just to help sleep.
He drank it himself, but he really didn't find any other effects.
But this thing is not ordinary strange.The materials are extremely expensive, and it is not easy to produce finished products. In addition, it is difficult to understand the strange techniques when preparing them.
Every time I finish a dozen spirit calls.He always had to drink a bottle himself and get a good night's sleep to refresh himself.
But apart from brewing the summoning spirit, he would not have the feeling that his mental power was being consumed a lot.
This makes calling the spirit very tasteless.
Of course, he thought about it with his toes, and Dumbledore naturally knew all this.But Dumbledore didn't tell, he didn't even ask.Just let him figure it out for himself.
After so many years, to be honest, I didn't realize anything.
Partly because I feel that I am useless, and partly because I feel that the old man is in a fog.
But since he couldn't get an answer, he didn't say anything, just got up and left silently.
He now has Dumbledore's trust.But seriously, Dumbledore only believed in Dumbledore himself.Snape still didn't know what Dumbledore was thinking all day.
"Small punishments and big warnings will do."
Dumbledore picked up the cube device again, with a troubled expression on his face.
Snape didn't bother to talk about it, and just walked out of the headmaster's office angrily.
All the portraits of the principals looked at the junior below, and some principals who understood nodded in praise.The principals who didn't understand were silent.
The magical world has never been fair.
Whether it's bloodline, talent, or something else.
And the one in front of them.Both bloodline and talent are top-notch.The only character that can be called a defect has also become a flaw that is covered up before other excellences.
It is old now, but it is becoming more and more unfathomable.
It doesn't just refer to strength.It's more of an inner thought.
After a while, the door to the principal's office opened again.A child with black hair and green pupils walked in, with a calm expression, met the eyes of a group of senior principals, and looked back one by one.
And when he saw a portrait of an old man with black hair and green eyes, he paused, and then saluted seriously.
The old man in the portrait is twirling his beard and smiling complacently.
The other principals rolled their eyes.Of course, more, they were still looking at the child.There is a strange look in the eyes.
The Gaunt family now has only one child left.Then he must be the kid who caused the castle to move a few days ago.
Seeing their expressions, the principal of the Gaunt family sneered.
"sit down."
Dumbledore looked at the cube that made him helpless, and said to Luke helplessly.
When Luke heard the words, he was also unambiguous, and sat down happily.With a decent smile on his face.
"You made a big fuss today."
Dumbledore looked at Luke with a serious expression on his face.
"They were just playing around and got me involved."
Luke replied innocently.
This is also the truth, although the other's plan is for him, but in the final analysis, can this matter be left on his head?
As long as it wasn't obvious that he was turning up Ricky's anger more than once, no one would think it was his fault.
Dumbledore took a deep look at Luke, as if he knew some of his little secrets.But Luke didn't panic at all, he just stared at Dumbledore innocently with his big beautiful eyes.
'what are you talking about? '
Dumbledore didn't even need Legilimency to see what this kid meant.
After a moment of silence, he could only shake his head.What can be done?
The one in front of me is only 11 years old.Although some people can commit crimes at the age of 11.But it seems that at a young age, there is nothing unforgivable.
"Is that bottle of medicine okay?"
Dumbledore asked.
Luke saw that Dumbledore no longer entangled in the previous topic, so he knew that today's matter was over.He also breathed a sigh of relief.It is good for children to have preferential treatment when facing these things.But the old man didn't give up too much.Old naughty boy, old naughty boy, if they really want to make a fuss, the two of them may not be able to make trouble for the other.
"It's easy to use, so I'm thinking of asking you for another copy this time, so as not to be as dizzy as before."
"Don't you have a prescription at hand? Can't you find someone to make it up for yourself?"
Dumbledore looked at Luke in surprise, with a puzzled look on his face.
Luke was also stunned for a moment, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it.After all, the information he had at hand was still too little.
"How can I have a prescription at hand...and this thing can be boiled by anyone?"
Luke looked helpless.It seems that Dumbledore is also helpless.
Dumbledore looked at his troubled expression that didn't seem to be fake, smiled and said: "It seems that you really didn't get their inheritance."
Then, he asked with some surprise: "Didn't you get inheritance other than Ravenclaw?"
What I said is clear.
"No, there is indeed talk about the secret room at home, but I also know that going in now may not be beneficial."
Luke saw it for real in the secret book at home, saying that there are treasures reserved for descendants with sufficient abilities in the secret room.How could there be only one basilisk in the secret room?You must know that the basilisk is a guardian, not a baby.
But in the original book and the movie, there is no news about the things guarded by the basilisk.Then this thing either fell into the hands of Voldemort before, or it fell into the hands of someone later...
Thinking of this, Luke looked at Dumbledore strangely.
Ask him this question today, isn't it a bit...
Dumbledore noticed his expression and said with a slight smile, "I didn't mean that. I also know where the Chamber of Secrets is. It's similar to the Room of Requirement. It's not an absolute secret."
But the other half of the story he didn't tell Luke.Because he doesn't know where the other two inheritances are located.
"It's impossible for me to snatch this inheritance. It's even more unnecessary."
Dumbledore made it very clear.He is already so old, and he doesn't have that kind of attachment to immortality.So he has no coveted heart for these inheritances.
Of course, if this is said, not many people will believe it.After all, this kind of thing is difficult for normal people to understand.
But Luke nodded frankly and said: "I know, but I didn't lie to you. I still have clues to the inheritance of the Big Four, but no matter what, it's not what I should do now."
"If you don't have a good foundation, you just want to build a tall building. Isn't that obviously going to collapse?"
Dumbledore was silent for a moment, looked at the indifferent child in front of him, and nodded: "You really didn't disappoint me."
As he spoke, he opened his drawer, found a bottle of Summoner from a pile of sweets, and handed it to Luke.
"If you want more, come to me again. Or try to see if you can find a prescription by yourself."
Luke was also polite, reached out to take the potion, and said, "I thought you would give me the formula."
"If you can deduce the raw materials from the potion, then come to me for the formula."
Dumbledore waved his hand angrily.
The two of them spoke happily, but the principals listening above looked at each other in blank dismay.They never expected that a first-year student, Dumbledore, didn't have the slightest bit of Canadians, and he didn't show the headmaster's favor at all.It looked more like a pair of friends than a teacher and student.
"This thing must be filled with mental power. Professor, why is the mental power deficient?"
Luke played with the beautiful spirit-calling potion in his hand, and asked with some doubts.
Dumbledore straightened his expression and said seriously, "It's a question of magic."
Dumbledore's words made Luke brainstorm again, but this time, he connected many clues together.
"Real 'magic'?"
Luke asked tentatively.
"It's not quite..." Dumbledore thought for a while, and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything, "It's too far away for you now, farther than the inheritance of the Big Four."
"But it is indeed related. If you can, try to exercise your mental power. I don't know how you exhausted your mental power, but try not to exhaust it to that extent. That kind of situation can only be used The medicine will do."
Luke nodded, although Dumbledore still didn't tell all the secrets.But his tone, which was almost the same as that of Ravenclaw, also reminded Luke.
I'm afraid that among them, it is definitely not as simple as just wanting him to lay a good foundation.But this kind of thing, it seems that he can only find the answer by himself.
"Okay, thank you. I will train well."
Luke stood up and saluted Dumbledore.His expression was full of respect.
Leaving aside anything else, Dumbledore's willingness to tell Luke that mental power is crucial is enough.Besides, Luke consciously didn't want to listen anymore.
Except for a few people, most people give you help and ask for something in return.
Luke was unwilling to owe so much favor.This is not a good thing for him.
Dumbledore just waved his hand, indicating that Luke can go out.
Luke nodded and walked out of the principal's office silently.
All the principals looked at Dumbledore with strange expressions.But in the end nothing was said.
And after Dumbledore stared at the cube for a long time, a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Then silently put the things into a box at hand.And locked up.
On the other side, Luke, who walked out of the principal's office, saw the twins winking at him not far away.After walking over, the twins pulled him into an empty classroom.
"We saw Professor Quirrell leave the school through the secret passage."
Fred said to Luke with a serious face.
But now they only have to hear some news from each new headmaster.
I don't have any other ideas, it's just a picture to relieve boredom.

"We saw Professor Quirrell leave the school through the secret passage."
Fred said to Luke with a serious face.
