Chapter 614 Spirit Resonance
"...the origin of Easter?"
Maca didn't care much about this little girl's behavior of constantly wearing a high hat for herself. He is now a frequent visitor to the Three Broomsticks bar, and most of the local wizards here are local wizards who know him... What's more, how many of the words of a girl who is no more than ten years old will be serious?
But to be honest, about the question Sarah asked, it is really not something that ordinary wizards can answer.
In the European magic world, Easter has existed since ancient times, and the history of this festival is even much longer than Christmas.
If you ask a random wizard who has studied the history of ancient magic a little, you may be able to hear an answer like "Christmas originally originated from the Druids in the ancient European magic world"; but if you ask him about the specifics of Easter The other party will basically be stunned on the spot.
In fact, the origins of Easter, celebrated by wizards, are rather humble. However, that story is full of love and hope, and it is a rather positive past, so it has been unknowingly continued from generation to generation.
"Yes! The origin of Easter." Sarah picked up the chocolate eggshell in front of her, looked at the swaying fruit juice inside, and said softly, "Mr. McLean, can you tell Sarah?"
"Well, yes, yes, I just know something about it... But, if the story is told in detail, it will be a bit long?"
Maca smiled indifferently. When he was still studying at school, he liked the history of magic class very much. This was entirely because he was really interested in the history of wizard development. No matter what you study, it is almost inseparable from the wisdom of the predecessors, because a person's power is always limited.
"This story begins with an ancient wizard named 'Baal'. It is said that he has a younger sister named Astalu..."
...
Although Maca intends to have a good relationship with Sarah, he is really interested in telling stories and so on. It was true when he said that the story was a bit long at the beginning, but he didn't really plan to tell it in detail.
However, even though he was ready to make some simplified version of the Easter origin story, he didn't expect to fail to finish it.
Because, just when he was talking about the heroine of the story, Astalu, making an important decision, he suddenly felt an inexplicable power in Sarah's body vibrating silently. Immediately afterwards, his eyes seemed to be suddenly covered with a dense layer of white mist, and then everything around him changed.
"Soul rules? No, it seems a little different..."
Maca glanced left and right, looking at this vast expanse of whiteness, a strange sense of familiarity suddenly surged in his heart. Isn't this the mysterious space that Dumbledore took him to see back then?
But in the next moment, the white mist in his sight quickly condensed. With the rapid gathering of the fog, the luxuriant trees, the green bushes, and the vibrant grasslands gradually changed from blur to clarity.
When a winding dirt road appeared under his feet, and when the sky above his head became clearer and clearer, a picture of a forest path completely different from the scene in the Three Broomsticks was laid around him. become.
If I have to say it, this is actually quite similar to the preparation process for watching memories with a Pensieve,
But there are also some differences.
"Is this... alchemy?"
Maca looked down at his palm, and subconsciously clenched his fist, feeling the clear sense of power. Yes, this feeling is more detailed than the Pensieve, and even the sense of touch can be reproduced synchronously.
"I remember that some ancient books on alchemy mentioned the 'spiritual refinement' corresponding to the 'material refinement', so this should be it?" He said thoughtfully, "It's really incredible, what is the little girl? What is it about?"
If someone finds himself in a different place suddenly, I am afraid that no matter how determined the person is, he will also feel a little flustered. This is the instinct of biological self-warning, and generally speaking, it is unavoidable.
Needless to say, Maca is of course the same.
However, the reason why he remained unmoved at this moment was because he found that he could still clearly feel his body and everything in the Three Broomsticks bar.
For Maca, anything, including all of one's senses, can be deceived under the influence of certain special methods. But only the fluctuation of magic power is the embodiment of real material rules, and it is an existence that cannot be interfered by the spirit.
"It's really interesting, but... on what basis is this possible?"
Sarah's sudden sneak attack made Maca think of many things in an instant.
Including the short meeting with Dumbledore, including the previous research at the entrance of Nicolas May's alchemy laboratory, and even including the past under the guidance of Ravenclaw, various conjectures about matter and spirit , At this moment, some vague connections have been produced in his thinking.
It's a pity that there seems to be a key key missing here, so that those connections are faintly visible behind the door and can't be seen clearly.
"Sarah Hohenheim, let me take a look, what the hell are you trying to do!"
Maca nodded secretly, no longer immersed in her own thoughts alone, but looked ahead. Just in front of the path under his feet, two figures were slowly walking towards him, and they were getting closer now.
...
It might sound a bit mysterious to Maca, but in fact, it is equivalent to being under a spell that can affect the spirit. Right now, he can still clearly sense all the fluctuations of magic power around his body, and even if he wants to, he can actually get rid of it at any time with the power of the rules of the soul.
But on Sarah's side, her complexion was a bit uneasy.
"How is this going……"
She was still holding the chocolate eggshell in her hand, and her gaze passed over Maca again and again. It can be seen that Maca's expression is a little dazed, and she has obviously been pulled into a state of spiritual resonance by her.
However, the only thing she could feel from Maca's soul was the word "heaviness".
"Can someone's soul really be 'heavy' to such a degree?" Sarah frowned slightly, her thoughts that didn't match her appearance were constantly running, "If I knew it earlier, I should stick to the original idea, no Wouldn't it be good to provoke this guy?"
Just as Maca speculated in the past, spiritual refinement in alchemy has a considerable degree of intertwining with soul rules. The so-called soul is originally a manifestation of the 'spirit' in this world, so the research on the two actually has a lot in common.
For example, there is such a point of view in the research of both: the spirit is everywhere in this world, and the consciousness of all living things is produced in the movement of the spirit.
The spiritual refining in alchemy is to use a specific refining formation to affect the movement of the spirit, so as to achieve the purpose of the alchemist himself.
However, if one wants to use spiritual refinement to influence the consciousness of others, this is often a great test for the alchemist's own willpower. If the spirit of the subject being interfered is too strong, it is easy for the alchemist himself to be in a difficult situation.
Spiritual resonance, it doesn't mean that you can stop it if you stop!
Sarah pursed her lips, then simply closed her eyes abruptly, focusing all her attention on the spiritual resonance with Maca.
Her current intention is only to immerse her own consciousness into the "world" she created, so as to ensure that the worst ending will not happen.
...
Leaving aside the fact that Sarah's side is probably so regretful that her intestines are green, at least Maca's side seems to be quite leisurely.
Not long after following those two figures, he already realized what scene he was put into. In fact, these two were the brothers and sisters named "Baal" and "Astaru" in the story he told before.
In that near-legendary story, Baal was an ordinary ancient wizard. His magical talent is not strong, and he can even be said to be somewhat "weak".
But compared to his older brother, his younger sister, Astoru, who was two years younger, was different.
Astaru has a natural talent for Animagus. While other children trying to follow the path of magic were still following the real wizard as an early-morning apprentice, she was already able to complete the shape-shifting autonomously.
Yes, her Animagus form is a hairless white hare, like the chocolate bunnies future generations are sure to make for Easter. And her character, just like her Animagus form, is pure in heart, full of vigor and vitality.
Since she was a child, she has been the kind of child that everyone likes. She is well-behaved, sensible, and smart. Not only are her peers willing to be her friend, but even adults love her very much.
Against the brilliance she radiated, Baal, the elder brother, seemed quite inconspicuous.
Fortunately, Baal was not born with the kind of jealous person. For his excellent and eye-catching younger sister, all he had in his heart was joy, and he didn't have any other feelings.
Because of this, the childhood time of the siblings was very smooth, and the two got along very well. They almost all thought that the relationship between siblings would go on in such a peaceful and steady way for the rest of their lives.
However, in the year when his elder brother Baal was 20 years old and his younger sister Astalu was 18 years old, a terrible disaster happened without warning.
