Chapter 353 Occlumency

Occlumency!

This is a very difficult and rare high-level magic that can close one's mind and prevent external invasion.

Why learn it now? Is there anyone you need to be on guard against?

Malfoy was a little confused and couldn't understand Sebastian's intention for a moment.

Forget it, why think so much.

The professor is willing to teach this kind of advanced magic in person, so why should I complain?

Just learn.

"Harry," Sebastian looked at Harry, "you have reviewed the relevant knowledge before, what did you learn?"

"Um..." Harry scratched his head embarrassedly, "The content in the book is a bit profound, I don't quite understand it."

"From what I understand, after we learn Occlumency, it's like we install a door in our brains. If someone wants to see my memory, they have to open this door."

“I don’t know if I understand it correctly.”

"Haha," Sebastian laughed heartily, "You understand it well, but it's not enough."

"Or rather, that was just the first small goal achieved in the process of learning Occlumency."

Many people have misunderstandings about Occlumency. They believe that the human brain is like an open room, and anyone who comes in can see whatever they want.

After learning the art of occlumency, it is like adding a solid door to the room, which others need to use all means to open.

If that was the case, then Snape would not have been able to go undercover in front of Voldemort.

After all, there is a big door standing there, which clearly tells Voldemort that there is something wrong with this person.

Of course, if we must understand the brain as a room, then the real advanced use of brain occlusion is to secretly build a memory palace behind this room.

Then place the memories that you want others to see as decorations in the original room. You don’t even need to install a door. Just let anyone see them.

If you are a memory master, you can even make up some false memories and put them in the room to confuse others.

In the original book, Voldemort fabricated a memory of capturing Sirius and torturing him, making Harry believe it and fall into the trap.

After Sebastian's detailed explanation, Harry and Malfoy gradually understood the magical effect of brain blocking.

They took notes desperately, afraid of missing a word.

After Sebastian finished explaining the effects of Occlumency, Malfoy looked up and asked eagerly, "Professor Swann, how do we build a memory palace in our minds?"

"That's too far away from you," Sebastian smiled, "Take it step by step. First, build a door in your mind to block others from prying."

"It's not that easy to do this. You need to learn to clear your mind and not recall or think."

"In other words, you need to learn to close your heart, control your emotions, and stay calm and stable."

"Remember, if you don't learn to control your emotions, you will never take the first step towards learning Occlumency."

In fact, this sentence is easy to understand. After all, even Muggles can use their words and expressions to guess what others are thinking.

If you can't control your emotions, the other person will be able to tell a lot about you just by looking at your expression.

For masters of Occlumency, each person has unique emotional management techniques.

Like Snape, he always has a cold expression, as if he doesn't show any emotion except indifference.

For example, Dumbledore is always seen as quiet and easy-going, and you never see him angry.

"I have two methods for learning Occlumency. One is the traditional method. Although it takes a while to show results, it is more stable."

"There is also a quick learning method, which has certain risks, but it can allow you to learn within six months to a year. Even if you are more efficient, it is not impossible to shorten the time to two or three months."

"Which method would you two like to choose?"

Needless to say, there is no hesitation at all.

Must choose the fastest!

Harry didn't hesitate and immediately chose the quick method.

Malfoy originally wanted to ask what the risks of the quick method were, but when he saw Harry's decisive look, he instantly swallowed the question he was about to ask.

Let’s just use the quick method.

After asking so many questions, Potter still thought that he was not as brave as him.

"Professor Swan, I also choose the quick method."

"Okay!" Sebastian nodded approvingly. "In that case, let's compete to see who can defeat me first."

"I can fulfill one small request of the winner."

Hearing this, Harry and Malfoy instantly became full of fighting spirit. They looked at each other and could see the desire to win in each other's eyes.

snort!

I am definitely the winner!

Seeing that the two were unwilling to admit defeat, Sebastian spoke up.

"Practical combat is always the fastest way to learn spells. Normally, I will use spells to spy on your minds, so that you can learn to control your emotions as quickly as possible and then close your heart."

what?

So this is the quick method.

In this way, the professor can see all my privacy.

Harry and Malfoy's faces fell instantly.

Professor, you are so powerful, how can our brains defend us!

Can I still raise my hand and say I regret it now?

"However! My strength is a bit beyond the standard for the two of you. In order to help you quickly build up your self-confidence, I plan to help each of you find an opponent of equal strength."

Sebastian grinned wickedly, "I will teach you the Legilimency spell first, and then you two will compete with each other to see who can protect their memory first."

Good guy!

Let Malfoy (Potter) read his own memories...

It would be better to let the professor come in person, at least it won’t be so socially awkward.

Harry and Malfoy looked at each other and could see deep disgust in each other's eyes.

Sebastian ignored the two people's little thoughts and started teaching soul reading directly.

Offensive spells are always easier to learn than defensive spells. With Harry and Malfoy's level, they quickly mastered the Legilimency spell.

Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing. Sebastian waved his hand and asked the two to start practicing magic spells.

At this point, both of them are determined to go all out.

Anyway, you can see my memory and I can see yours, so we can all die together and no one will suffer.

But here comes the problem: both Harry and Malfoy want to be the first to attack.

Seeing that the dispute was getting more and more difficult, the two people had to discuss using rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner, with the winner attacking and the loser defending, and then they would take turns.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

Harry stared at his fingers hatefully; the scissors gesture he had made seemed particularly powerless at this moment.

He looked up unwillingly, and happened to meet Malfoy's smug face. He shook his fist and said proudly: "Potter, I admit defeat!"

"Okay," Harry clenched his fists weakly, "You win, come and attack me."
