Chapter 145 Six Great Books

Dumbledore looked at Sherrin quietly.

After a long time, he slowly said: "You are right. The pursuit of power is a part of human nature. Power can bring benefits, glory, and power. At best, it can maintain one's dignity. You can protect those around you..."

"The question is whether you have the ability to control power, instead of being dominated by power." Dumbledore's eyes flashed with blazing light, and he said earnestly: "The real strong man has power, but Will not abuse it - have you heard the story of Peverell? The eldest of the three brothers relies too much on power, which will only lead to destruction in the end. "

"Professor, you put it too lightly - Harry's father and Sirius are both unregistered Animagus, right? Why haven't I seen you report them, send them to Azkaban, and let Harry "He became the son of a criminal?" Schelling argued, "Professor Moody's trash can attacked Muggles, and it was published in the newspapers. However, due to Mr. Weasley's intervention, nothing happened - isn't this the so-called abuse?" Is there strength?"

Xie Lin made a conclusion in a cold voice: "It can be seen that everyone will use the power in their hands unconsciously to make things develop in a direction that is beneficial to them." He looked directly at Dumbledore's face With both eyes, he said softly: "The difference is that you have your justice in your heart, and in my heart - I have my justice."

Schelling was a little tired of this kind of chicken soup-style preaching. He didn't wait for Dumbledore to speak, and continued: "If you come to me today to talk about my registration for the Triwizard Tournament, then I can Let me tell you frankly - I broke the rules, I broke the age circle you set, and I participated in the Triwizard Tournament, but what I did was just to pursue more powerful power, nothing more. . I have no interest in ruling this world or pursuing immortality.”

Dumbledore's eyes seemed to light up and he smiled: "My child, you misunderstood me. I have never doubted that you will join the Death Eaters, and I will not judge a person's future based on his origin. I think I can I promise you that."

"Hogwarts is a very inclusive college, and there are students from Death Eater families in the school. We are willing to recruit these students because we believe that every young soul is beautiful, and every young soul is beautiful. The soul is worthy of our protection...I am very happy, child, I am really happy that you are willing to say this to an old man like me today..."

Dumbledore untied the first knot in his heart.

One of the reasons why he recruited Xie Lin this time was because he sensed Xie Lin's eager pursuit of power. Coupled with the impact of Meredith's disappearance on Xie Lin, he was worried that Xie Lin would be affected by his extreme thoughts and power. He fell under the temptation and embarked on a dark path, so I specially asked him to talk to him about his thoughts, hoping to enlighten him and prevent him from going astray.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

Another reason is that too many things happened recently, which made him a little uneasy, so he decided to take insurance for his plan.

Yes, he no longer plans to let Xie Lin grow up freely. He plans to pull Xie Lin into his own plan.

Dumbledore looked at Sherlin with kind eyes and said gently: "Actually, the main reason I came to see you today is to talk about your thoughts and see where I, as the principal, can give you some help."

Um? Is this considered a pass? Xie Lin thought to himself.

It seems that the old man really doesn’t know about the Sleeping Dragon Club and Kingsley!

Despite what Xie Lin said, it would be a lie if he didn't feel a little guilty when facing one of the smartest wizards of this century.

At this moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind.

It seems that Dumbledore is not omniscient and omnipotent. He read too many fan fictions in his previous life, and seems to think too highly of him.

Of course Dumbledore didn't know what was going on in Sherrin's mind.

He said to himself: "There are several things that come to you. Let's start with the first thing! Xie Lin, I vaguely feel the familiar magic power in your body. Although the feeling is very weak, I think My feeling is not wrong... I guess you have already come into contact with Abatel, right? "

Xie Lin was stunned for a moment. Dumbledore actually knew about Abatere and could feel the familiar magic in him. Could it be that...

As soon as Dumbledore looked at Sherrin's eyes, he knew he had guessed correctly. He smiled and said, "You don't need to tell me where your Abatail came from. I don't have any covetous thoughts about it..." and then Dumbledore took out a book from the drawer and said: "Since you have come into contact with Abatail, and you may also use this in the next Triwizard Tournament, this book is Consider it given to you by the principal as a reward for bringing glory to the school."

Sure enough, what Dumbledore took out was "Abatail Volume 4"!

Xie Lin's heart was filled with huge waves, but he could still maintain his dull expression. Although he coveted this magical book, he would not easily accept the kindness of others, especially when that person was Dumbledore.

No one would object to saying that Dumbledore is the most skilled chess player in the original books. Even after he died, he could still plot against Voldemort.

Dumbledore gave him such a big gift and said that he had no agenda behind it, but Sherling would not believe it even to death.

"Professor," Schelling said cautiously, "As the saying goes, no work no gain. First of all, I have violated the rules by signing up for the Triwizard Tournament, and I may not be able to contribute to Hogwart. I want to win this game, don’t forget that my opponents are all adult wizards... I think it would be more appropriate to wait until I have made some contribution to this gift?”

"Is that so?" Dumbledore's eyes flashed with unexplainable meaning, "I don't think so!"

"I am very optimistic about you, Sherlin," Dumbledore said softly: "I think your strength is not worse than them at all. To be honest, I think - you are the strongest warrior in this competition!"

Xie Lin lowered his head slightly and fell into silence.

All I can say is, is he worthy of being Dumbledore?

Since this semester, Schelling has been extremely low-key. Yes, although the move he and Draco jointly performed was astonishingly powerful, after all, they were two people working together to cast a family secret spell. Who knows if this secret spell would have a joint bonus effect from casters of the same bloodline?

As for resisting the Imperius Curse in the Dark Arts class and successfully casting the Transformation Curse in the Transfiguration class, these are at best the performance of an outstanding student, right? It's really not that amazing.

(Note: For the convenience of comparison for readers, Harry resisted the Imperius Curse on the fourth try in the first Dark Arts course, and Hermione also mastered the basic Transformation Curse in the first Transfiguration course)

It seemed that Dumbledore, like Merlin, had seen something in himself. These old monsters obviously don't have magic eyes, but they have a bunch of unknown detection methods, which is really nerve-wracking.

Dumbledore looked at Sherrin's reaction and smiled with satisfaction.

"Before accepting this gift, I would like to ask you to listen to me for a few words," he said. "Do you know the story of Abatail?"

"Yes, Professor," Schelling replied: "Abatail has a long history. It is said that it appeared before the establishment of Hogwarts. The author's identity is unknown, but it is most likely to be completed by more than one person. Later, in It was divided into eight parts during a war and scattered all over the place. Even publishing houses in the Muggle world printed some of the contents of the fragments... Each volume corresponds to a magical field, namely Charms, Magic, and Transfiguration. Science, curse science, enchantment science, curse system, spiritual system, soul system..."

"You really surprised me. Everything you just said is correct," Dumbledore nodded. "The volume in my hand is Transfiguration, which corresponds to the magical field of Transfiguration. I heard that you are working on Minerva is learning human transfiguration. This book can just help you...Finally, I want to ask, have you heard of the legendary Six Wonderful Books? "

"Six Great Books?" Xie Lin asked doubtfully, why is there such a thing? It sounds like a routine from the Internet in the past life. Isn't it the old man's nonsense?

Dumbledore said slowly: "The so-called Six Wonderful Books are not actually a legend, but a real existence. It's just that very few people know about it. I only heard about it from an old friend of mine." Come……"

Old friends again? An old lover, right? Xie Lin had some evil thoughts in his heart.

"The Six Wonderful Books are six magic books with a long history. It is said that all our magic theories have been developed to this day based on the records above," Dumbledore continued: "The six wonders are the Book of Truth, the Phoenix The first three are white magic books, and the last three are black magic books. Of course, I am not making any comments about these books. Criticism, after all, no matter what kind of magic, it still depends on the person who uses it. Learning black magic does not necessarily mean you are a dark wizard. "

Xie Lin asked curiously: "Please allow me to ask, Professor, do you know the origin of these six wonderful books? Where are they now?"

"The Book of Truth is the pinnacle of alchemy, and my old friend Nico Flamel once held half of it," Dumbledore said with a smile: "I have reason to believe that he passed it on to you before he died. "

ah! Schelling couldn't help but think of the locked book he had received from Nico. The cover of the book has no name and is locked with a special alchemical lock that can only be opened with alchemy. Schelling has studied it for so long and still has no clue.

Schelling's alchemy is already very powerful. With a sample, he can even copy the Death's Invisibility Cloak, but he is still helpless with this alchemical lock. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire and yearn for Nico Flamel's true strength.

At the same time, Schelling thought of another question, "Professor, do you mean to say that Mr. Elame's amazing alchemy was only learned from half of the Book of Truth?"

"Yes," Dumbledore nodded, "This is also why Nico's alchemy is flawed - although he is revered as the most powerful alchemist of our time, in fact the bitterness behind him is only himself. Know……"

"Because his inheritance is incomplete, his success in creating the Philosopher's Stone is just an unreplicable coincidence. He cannot create the next Philosopher's Stone, nor can he teach this knowledge to others."

"Ah?" Schelling's outlook was changed. It turned out that this was the reason why Flamel only made one magic stone!

But what does this have to do with recruiting apprentices?

Dumbledore saw Schelling's doubts and explained, "Nico has good intentions. He doesn't want to break the inheritance, but he is more worried that once the inheritance falls into the wrong hands, once that person can't resist the temptation of endless life and unlimited wealth, he will try to refine the Philosopher's Stone, but he doesn't have Nico's luck. Failure to refine and waste materials is a small matter, and it is very likely to cause a series of unknown disasters..."

"I see, then is there any whereabouts of the other half of the book?" Schelling asked.

Dumbledore fell silent. He looked at Schelling meaningfully, with an uncertain light in his eyes.

After a long time, Dumbledore slowly said, "Speaking of this, do you know the Hohenheim family?"

A gleam of light flashed in Schelling's eyes. Is it really related to the Hohenheim family?

Schelling said, "I know a little. They are a famous pure-blood family in Germany, known for their family healing magic and alchemy. Their ancestor should be the mysterious Paracel."

Dumbledore smiled, "You probably know more than that... Don't you know the main direction of their alchemy?"

Scheling pretended to think, and was silent for a long time before saying, "Human body alchemy?"

Dumbledore's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he whispered, "This is my guess - as we all know, the purpose of alchemy is first 'immortality', then 'resurrection', and finally 'transcendence of eternity'. Nico has barely reached the first step, I guess..."

"The reason why Nico stayed at this level, and even relied on luck in the middle, is that Because his inheritance only has the part of 'immortality', although he can try to maintain the immortality of his soul and body, he is inevitably facing aging. This aging is not only reflected in his body, but also in his soul, leading to the lack of emotions and numbness of the soul..."

"I suspect that the second half of the Book of Truth records the secrets of overcoming the defects of the Philosopher's Stone." Dumbledore's eyes suddenly lit up, "and the Hohenheim family, who are devoted to studying the human body and soul, have become the object of my suspicion..."

"The professor suspects that they have collected the second half of the Book of Truth?" Schelling probably understood what Dumbledore meant. After all, what else in the world can resist aging better than refining the body and soul?

Related to the work, the textual research post was updated: "About Nicolas Flamel and the Book of Abraham", you can take a look if you are interested. (Author: Every time I write about Dumbledore getting ancient secrets from his old friend Grindelwald, I always wonder if there are any fan fictions that travel to the Bagshot archaeological family. I feel that there are many things to write about wizard archaeology)
