Chapter 1538 The Origin of Dementors
"The brain means thinking and spirit. It may not have strong magical power and cannot directly attack physically, but in a sense it represents the evil god itself, representing the despicable Hai Erbo himself, the most Part of the danger," said Dumbledore.
Ivan fully agrees with Dumbledore's statement.
The most frightening thing about evil gods is corruption, pollution and mental attacks. Through endless whispers, evil gods can cause the attacked to lose themselves in illusions and die, or control those weak-willed creatures. This is how the fallen centaur and the acromant are treated like this. controlling.
Of course, this is the most obvious characteristic of the evil god, but it is not all.
The weird creations and powerful bodies they made are also hopeless, and they are not a power that humans can match.
"For a brain that is good at using spiritual power, ordinary sealing magic is obviously not applicable. Therefore, Slytherin deliberately chose Azkaban to seal it. From some ancient books left by vampires, we can find Slytherin's Some ideas, in his original plan, the inaccessible island is located deep in the North Sea, far away from the mainland, away from wizards, there are no living things on the island, no matter how strong its spiritual power is, it will not affect other people." Dumbledore continued, "Slytherin still left the tightest seal there, using the strongest magical power to resist the mental power of that brain."
"The strongest magical power?" Ivan asked, "Professor, you mean the double snake staff?"
The strongest magical power is against the mental power of the evil god's brain. If there is any power that can be called the strongest, Ivan can only think of the double snake staff.
Both Gryffindor and Ravenclaw had told him that the Staff of the Two Snakes had power beyond imagination.
Even a powerful wizard like Salazar Slytherin cannot easily use this power.
Therefore, most of the time, he kept the Snake Staff on the long table in the principal's office.
The Slytherins weren't at all worried about losing the staff, most wizards couldn't even touch it.
Ai Wen didn't know what would happen when he encountered the double snake sticks. The feeling of the two giant pythons opening their eyes and staring at him is something he will never forget for a lifetime...
"Oh, yes, the Two Snake Staff is the core of the magic that Slytherin left in Azkaban, and it is the source of the magic power of the seal." Dumbledore said, "It has extraordinary magical power, and Slytherin will use it I think it is very necessary to stay there, because even under the suppression of such a strong force, the evil god's brain is still active, and it produces dementors, and as time goes by, the number is increasing."
"I don't quite understand, what's the point of that monster that was sealed in Azkaban producing so many dementors?"
"Dementors can help it regain its strength. We all know that dementors bring despair and suck all happiness. Wizards think they feed on these happiness." Dumbledore said, "But this The thing itself is very strange, no wizard can explain why, how can happy emotions become food? This is a very unreasonable thing, it can’t be explained at all, isn’t it? Some people attribute it to Magic, do not study the real reason, but simply take it for granted, but not everything can be explained by magic, magic is not those unfounded superstitions imagined in the heads of muggles. Photo It is totally against common sense for ghosts to absorb happiness and make a living by it, even in the magic world, it is an impossible thing..."
"So, what do those dementors live on? And what do they drink happiness for?"
"For too long, we've all mistakenly believed that dementors are magical creatures that have life. As a kind of living thing, they must feed on something to survive, but in fact, this is not the case. Dementors are not alive. , they are non-living magical creatures that rely on magic to exist, just like these magical portraits on the wall, they rely on magic to survive."
There was another round of discussions all around, and all the principals stopped pretending to be asleep.
They were shocked by Dumbledore's intelligence. What he said just now absolutely subverted the understanding of dementors in the wizarding world for centuries. Ivan noticed Phineas Nigellus's focused expression. is rarely seen.
The essence of the evil god's creation is a magical creature, and it does not need to rely on food for a living.
As long as they have enough mana supply, they can survive.
As for the source of magic power, of course it comes from the evil god who made them.
Theoretically speaking, as long as this evil god has enough power to bear, it can continuously create countless armies of evil god creations until it fills the entire world. This is not impossible, even for dementors. in this way.
The wizards thought of so many ways to limit the number of this terrible creature, but they all failed in the end. They had to admit the existence of dementors, and made concessions to allow them to gather in Azkaban, and to bring the criminals to the world. Sending them over is not only a punishment for the criminals, but also a so-called food for the dementors.
Thinking about it now, this decision was a joke.
They are not life forms born by natural reproduction, and all restrictive measures will naturally not work.
Even if all the dementors are wiped out with the patron saint, it is useless, as long as the brain of the evil god under Azkaban is not destroyed, after a while, the dementors will continue to appear, and sending them prisoners is just a matter of time. make them stronger.
"As for absorbing happy emotions or using dementors to suck away a soul, their purpose is all for the evil brain under Azkaban, that brain can extract a kind of anti-corruption from these emotions and souls. Its very beneficial power, this is a very complicated process, we can simply understand it as a kind of soul and spiritual magic." Dumbledore said, "The brain of the evil god needs these, but it is sealed and restricted in A Zkaban, so, which dementors does it need to help it gather these powers."
"collect……"
"Yes, if we study the dementors, it is not difficult to find that their body structure is very simple under the cloak. The body of these terrible creatures has only a mouth and a stomach to store the happy emotions or souls they absorb. , and those rotting skins that connect the two together, maybe there's something like a demented brain in the skin, but that's really secondary to the dementors, because most of the time they only need At the behest of the brain that made them..."
