Chapter 706 To love yourself, you must protect yourself

Killing Curse?

Andy frowned.

Although Hermione's words were a little vague, Andy knew exactly what she wanted to say.

Dumbledore once said that love is the purest power of the soul.

What is purity?

Pure means without a trace of impurities.

Just like Lily's love for Harry.

That is the purest maternal love!

For Harry, Lily willingly gave up her own life, thus rebounding Voldemort's Killing Curse.

This is the power of love!

But theory is just theory after all.

Snape also loves Lily, but can Snape's love rebound the Killing Curse?

I’m afraid it won’t work!

On the other hand, to use the Killing Curse, the caster needs to have a strong killing intent in his heart. The stronger the killing intent, the more powerful the spell will be.

"What suddenly occurred to you?" Andy asked.

Hermione raised an eyebrow and said, "Recent events have made me feel a little emotional... Human emotions are really amazing."

"Indeed!" Andy nodded.

Hermione asked curiously, "Does it inspire you?"

This……

Andy scratched his head.

How to say it...Andy had already thought about the issues that Hermione was thinking about.

It does make sense in theory.

But it is difficult to put into practice.

But Andy didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of his assistant, so after thinking about it, Andy smiled and said, "It sounds good."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"That's not what I wanted to say."

Hermione corrected with a serious face: "Andy, love is a willing dedication. But if I may be frank, you do not have such a quality."

Andy: "..."

That's a good point, don't say it next time.

Although he was a little depressed, Andy had to admit that Hermione was right.

It is simply impossible to ask Andy to sacrifice himself for others!

From this point of view, Andy is not suitable to study the magic of love.

but……

Although Andy can't love others, he can love himself!

"Do you think I should give up?" Andy asked.

"of course not!"

Hermione said: "What I want to say is that using the Killing Curse requires a strong desire to kill the target. Killing intent... is the source of the power of the Killing Curse."

“But it requires a goal!”

"I think the reason why black magic is so powerful is that negative emotions are extremely contagious and spreadable."

"Just like now, many people are actually hostile to Slytherin because of the influence of others."

"Andy, you need a goal too!"

Hermione looked at Andy and said solemnly: "A goal for which you can devote everything."

Andy: "..."

From a magical point of view, Hermione was right.

Lily would give everything for Harry.

Dumbledore... maybe he loves the wizarding world!

Mind controls magic and is also the source of magical power.

To use any magic, you need the guidance of your mind.

But...from a personal emotional perspective, Andy felt that he had encountered the legendary death-defying question.

"Of course! I already have a goal."

Andy blinked and looked at Hermione lovingly, "I'm willing to give everything for you."

Hermione rolled her eyes at Andy when she heard this.

Although I know in my heart that this is just Andy's sweet talk, it still sounds very pleasing.

While chatting, Andy and Hermione walked into the hall.

As the night passed, the atmosphere of confrontation between the four houses of Hogwarts became more serious.

Slytherin was ostracized by the other three houses.

Watching all this, Andy and Hermione came silently to the Ravenclaw table and ate breakfast quietly.

Andy was also recalling the previous conversation.

I have to say that Hermione hit the nail on the head. In the field of 'love', Andy really lacks a clear goal.

This may be the main reason why Andy has not been able to put it into practice.

Without love, how can we experience the magic of love?

"Hey!"

Andy sighed.

Give up?

Andy was a little unwilling.

But if you don't give up...

If you don't give up, you may just be wasting time.

Andy had to admit that he was unable to achieve pure love.

Humans are easily influenced by the environment and others. Andy was deeply influenced by his past life. In this life, Andy can no longer truly love anyone.

Thinking of this, Andy suddenly felt a little envious of Harry.

Harry is a very pure person.

"As for me……"

"I love myself and I love magic."

Andy pondered in his heart, "This is a direction... The fusion of mind and magic is also based on this."

"So...what's next?"

What’s next?

Andy pondered silently.

"If I set 'myself' as the target of love, then all I need to do is... protect myself?"

"..."

"Well... it's not impossible!"

Andy looked up the information and found out that the magic Lily used to protect Harry was called the Passive Resistance Charm.

This is the ancient magic of love.

When you resolve to die protecting someone you love, you can leave a mark of your sacrifice on that person, creating a powerful defensive magic.

This spell is very much like an enhanced version of the Iron Shield Charm.

And it’s time-sensitive.

"Maybe... I can start with the Iron Armor Spell."

Andy's eyes lit up slightly.

"Hate is used to hurt the enemy, love is used to protect."

"If you love yourself, you must protect yourself."

"Nothing wrong!"

It makes sense in theory, so the next step is practice.

"call--"

With a sigh of relief, Andy felt even better.

Although it is just theory at the moment, it is indeed a viable approach - at least on the surface.

Andy has an advantage that no one else can match.

That is the fusion of mind and magic.

In addition, on the system panel, Andy also has seven points of [Will] and six points of [Magic].

These are Andy's advantages.

Andy can use his mental power to the maximum extent, and even deceive the magic power in his body.

Of course, people cannot deceive themselves.

But... Andy really loves himself!

"Iron Armor Curse..."

If the Armor Spell could be infused with the power of love, Andy felt that he might really be able to possess the "magical defense" attribute.

This is the ability Andy has always dreamed of.

Even if he can't achieve the level of 'rebounding the killing curse', as long as he strengthens it a little bit, Andy's actual combat ability will improve by leaps and bounds.

Magic defense is the attribute that all wizards lack the most.

Once he has the magic defense attribute, plus Andy's magic attack power... Andy feels that he can almost sweep away everything.

"call--"

Andy exhaled again and calmed his slightly agitated heart.

in conclusion!

With the spiritual power of "love yourself", you can stabilize or even amplify the power of the Armor Spell, thereby improving your own magical defense capabilities.

Ok……

Very interesting!
