Chapter 303 The Future of the Fat Cat Guardian
On the sofa, Isabel was swinging something like a cat toy stick, and the Fat Cat Guardian Angel was like a real stupid cat, staring at the cat toy stick intently, and fluttering back and forth as the cat toy stick swung.
"This is..."
Andy swore that he absolutely did not control the stupid cat.
Before this, although the Fat Cat Guardian Angel had some spirituality, it was somewhat dull, and there was still a big difference from a real living thing.
But now... it's like a real cat!
Helen followed Andy's gaze, raised her eyebrows, and asked in surprise: "Andy, are you controlling the Guardian Angel?"
"No!" Andy shook his head.
"Then this is...?" Helen was even more surprised when she heard this.
Although Helen didn't think Andy would control the Guardian Angel to play such a stupid game with Isabel, it was also because of this that the problem was bigger, right?
The Guardian Angel would play games with people?
Hearing the conversation between Andy and Helen, others also looked at the Fat Cat Guardian Angel curiously.
Kyle stuttered, "Andy, Andy! Your Patronus doesn't really have self-awareness, does it?"
Kyle had read the paper written by Andy, and not only Kyle, but even Helen had read it.
After all, it was Andy's first paper, and it had such a great influence in the magic world. As parents, they would naturally support their children.
Helen almost memorized it.
Helen asked again to confirm, "Andy, did you really not control that Patronus?"
"Of course not!"
Andy thought for a while and explained, "You should know Peeves, right? Peeves is not a ghost, but the embodiment of the students' naughty emotions and the magic of the castle."
"My Patronus... should be the same principle."
Many principles of magic have certain similarities. The Obscurus, the Patronus Charm, and Peeves... Their similarities are that they are all products of the fusion of mind and magic.
The difference between the three is:
The Obscurus uses negative emotions to suppress magic.
The Patronus Charm uses happy emotions to release magic.
As for Peeves... Andy has never known about it, but one thing can be confirmed - it is the combination of the students' mischievous emotions and the magic of the castle that gave birth to Peeves.
Andy believes that the current state of the fat cat patronus is similar to the state of giving birth to Peeves.
Peeves needs the students' mischievous emotions.
And the fat cat patronus needs, um... an environment that makes Andy feel happy.
Just like now!
As if she felt the gazes of the crowd, Isabel looked over in confusion, "What are you looking at me for?"
Andy said, "It's okay, you continue to play!"
Helen bit her lip, "Peeves..."
She turned to look at Kyle, "Kyle, do you know Peeves?"
As a Gryffindor reckless man, Helen is only good at fighting against Peeves, but has never understood the origin of Peeves.
"I've heard some rumors."
Kyle said: "Peeves has existed since the founding of Hogwarts. I don't know where it came from, but I know it's not a ghost."
Helen was a little worried, she asked obscurely: "Andy, your Patronus... is it okay? Didn't you say that you improved the Patronus Charm based on the principle of the birth of the Obscurus?"
Kyle smiled and said: "Then you must not understand. Unlike the Obscurus, the Patronus Charm is just magic, so Andy can control it."
Andy nodded, "Although my Patronus is an independent life, it depends on me to exist. You can treat it as a member of the family."
Helen rolled her eyes at Kyle, and then continued: "But now it's different. If Andy's Patronus has self-thinking like Peeves, wouldn't it want to get rid of Andy's control?"
"You have to know that life is all about pursuing freedom."
This is what Helen is most worried about.
Andy retorted: "Mom, freedom is the biggest lie in life."
"Laws, morals, ethics, human feelings, other people's views, secular concepts, including the knowledge we have learned, and the cognition of the world... There are many invisible things in this world that bind us."
"No one has real freedom."
"Even the act of 'pursuing freedom' itself is not free."
At this moment, Andy turned into a master of philosophy and refuted Helen's words with sharp language.
Andy continued: "My existence is a bondage to this fat cat. So you don't have to worry."
In Chinese terms, Andy is the heavenly way of the fat cat's guardian.
As long as Andy does not further integrate his mind and magic power and give more 'heavenly authority' to the fat cat's guardian, it will never have the ability to defy the heaven.
As for the issue of freedom...
In fact, compared to the false thing of 'freedom', Andy still thinks 'freedom' is more realistic.
Helen has to make potions every day to make money, take care of her family and children, and prepare three meals a day for the family.
Is she free?
She could choose not to do these things, but there was something invisible that bound her and forced her to complete these things.
She was not free, but she could be at ease!
Helen did not understand what Andy meant, but since Andy could ensure that he could restrain the patronus, Helen was not so worried.
"What do you think will become of Andy's patron saint in the future?"
Helen asked curiously: "Can he be in touch with reality and speak like Peeves?"
Andy thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not!"
Although the conditions for the birth of Obscurus, Patronus, and Peeves are very similar, they are still very different.
Negative emotions, happy emotions, and naughty emotions that repel magic.
Different emotions will produce completely different magical creatures.
What's more, the condition for the birth of Obscurus is to suppress the magic power, and casting the Patronus Charm requires the release of magic power.
Suppression and release... they are different no matter how you look at them, right?
"Um……"
Andy guessed: "I think the growth of the patron saint can only enhance its own abilities."
Kyle was surprised: "You mean, your patron saint will gain stronger spell-casting ability?"
If that's the case, wouldn't this fat cat be stronger than Andy?
Isn't that too exaggerated?
"Well……"
Andy explained: "What I mean is that when it has a certain amount of intelligence, it will probably have...the ability to cast spells independently!"
At the end of the sentence, Andy was suddenly stunned.
Autonomous casting...
Is there any limit to the growth of the fat cat patron saint?
