Chapter 738 New Direction, Unintentional, Voluntary, Forced
Chapter 738 New Direction, Unintentional, Voluntary, Forced
At night, Andy lay in bed, unable to sleep, recalling the conversation in the office that day.
It must be said that Professor McGonagall and Professor Slughorn are quite capable. They not only solved Andy's doubts about magical transformation, but also provided Andy with a new idea.
"The dormant second soul..."
To say that it is dormant is not entirely correct.
Take the Animagus transformation for example. When Andy first transformed, he did feel a second heartbeat, as well as animal-like thoughts and emotions.
But after that, I never felt that way again.
Because of this, in Andy's opinion, rather than saying that the second mind fell into eternal slumber, it would be better to say that the second mind completely disappeared and was annihilated under the human mind.
Well...you could also say it's digestion.
Because happiness disappears and anger disappears too.
Humans will not maintain the same emotion for a long time. Even the most unforgettable memories will gradually fade away over time.
This is the human's self-digestion ability.
Food can be digested, and emotions can also be digested.
Digestion is a basic ability of the body.
If the second mind created by magical transformation is really hidden in the body, it will definitely be digested by the body's functions.
Because of this, after careful consideration, Andy rejected the method of "integrating the second mind".
On the contrary, it was Slughorn's mention of 'body magic' that gave Andy some inspiration.
Although the Yang Soul can exist independently from the body, to a certain extent, it is no different from eternal life.
But this is not Andy's ultimate goal.
Once the body dies or is destroyed, Andy cannot guarantee whether his yang soul will turn into a ghost.
What's more, without the body's yang spirit, there is also no possibility of progress.
For Andy, that was a life worse than death!
The importance of the body is second only to the soul!
and so……
Can a magical body be immortal?
"Um……"
Andy pondered in his heart.
The magic that Andy wants is not the kind of magical transformation, but the kind that integrates the magic of nature into the body.
It is truly magical.
If I had to explain it, it would be this: once injured, the body can be repaired using only magic power.
Take Voldemort's resurrection ceremony, for example.
What Andy wants is to cancel the resurrection ceremony and reshape his body using magic alone.
Even severed limbs can be regenerated!
If it really comes to that, Andy feels that rejuvenation and immortality may not be impossible.
Andy lay in bed pondering for a long time, and finally decided to start from Voldemort's resurrection ceremony.
I have no intention of donating my father's bones.
The flesh of a servant, offered voluntarily.
The blood of the enemy was forced to be donated.
In this resurrection ceremony, what is important: the three materials of bone, flesh, and blood? Or the three emotions of unintentional, voluntary, and forced?
But no matter what, one thing is certain!
This resurrection ceremony involves psychic powers.
"Um……"
Andy tried to sum it up.
First, a pot of potion.
Secondly, the bones of fathers, the flesh of servants, and the blood of enemies.
Finally, there are three emotions: unintentional, voluntary, and forced.
Of course, the latter two can also be seen as one.
“Is there any causal relationship here?”
Thinking of this, Andy felt a little overwhelmed.
Since there was no 'Alchemy' attribute on the system panel, Andy did not put too much energy into studying potions.
After all, human energy is limited.
Compared with the little wizards in the school, Andy's potion learning was naturally outstanding. But if compared with people like Snape, Andy's potion learning was only average.
It's okay to know the recipe and brew a pot of potion.
But asking Andy to analyze the proportions of the potion, or even improve the prescription and create his own potion, would really be a difficult task for Andy.
Of course Andy could brew the potion that Voldemort used to rebuild his body. But when Andy was asked to analyze the pharmacology of the potion, he could only say with regret: I can't do it!
"Ask Professor Slughorn first!"
Andy thought to himself: "If that still doesn't work, then I can only find Snape."
Today's conversation made Andy re-understand Slughorn, and also reminded Andy of something he had always ignored.
——Before Voldemort created the Horcrux, he specifically consulted Professor Slughorn.
This shows what?
This shows that Slughorn already knew how to make Horcruxes!
The important thing is, he didn't make a Horcrux!
Uh……
As to whether it was produced secretly, it is unknown.
In short, Slughorn is by no means as simple as he seems. His strength may not be strong, but his knowledge must be very broad.
"call--"
Thinking of this, Andy breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.
Having no direction is a very uncomfortable thing.
But once he has a direction, even if the road ahead is unknown, Andy can concentrate on his research until he determines where the end of this road will lead to.
……
It's another weekend.
Bang bang bang!
creak-
Professor Slughorn opened the door of his office. When he saw that it was Andy, he said enthusiastically, "Oh! Mr. Collins, welcome."
"Good morning, professor," Andy said with equal enthusiasm.
"Sit anywhere."
Slughorn said: "I'm glad you came to me. It is every professor's wish to teach excellent students."
"You are a knowledgeable professor." Andy said politely.
"Thank you!"
Slughorn accepted the compliment without hesitation, and then asked, "Are you having any problems?"
"Yes!"
Andy nodded, and after considering his words, he said, "I didn't intend to give my father's bones; I gave my servants' flesh voluntarily; and I was forced to give my enemy's blood."
Hearing this, Slughorn's face changed slightly.
"Unintentional, voluntary, and forced."
Andy continued, "I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I found that Voldemort's resurrection ritual involves psychic power."
"Professor, is there any connection between reshaping the body and the mind?"
After hearing Andy's question, Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief.
Just don't ask about the Horcruxes.
"I have to say, Mr. Collins, you always find details that ordinary people can't notice."
Slughorn said in an appreciative tone, "I've read your paper on mind control magic. It's an excellent summary."
"When a wizard uses magic, it is always related to the mind. Even if it is an evil ritual, it is still the same."
"Psychic power can affect the effects of magic power, and naturally it can also affect the effects of potions."
"You can think of them as an invisible potion ingredient."
At this point, Slughorn suddenly paused.
He had realized what Andy was trying to do.
