Chapter 438 The Shura Field in the Room of Responsiveness
Chapter 435 Brainstorming
"Author? Who is the author of this book?"
When Stephanie asked this question, Sean realized that he had forgotten such a key person.
Who wrote this "Stories of the Greedy Poet"?
He quickly moved his head over, and Stephanie quickly closed the book. There was no author on the cover.
Opening to the title page, there is also nothing.
There was no last page or back of the book. Even Stephanie couldn't find the author's name even after looking through the entire book.
This is a book without an author.
The two looked at each other and started reading the first story from the beginning.
However, the first story is a bit cliche. The protagonist is still a bard, but this time the bard solved a major accident in the kingdom and was loved by people.
As you continue reading, the protagonist remains the same. The second story is that the bard met a woman who made him fall in love, pursued her to no avail, and finally left lonely.
This "Collection of Stories by the Greedy Poet" is not too thick, especially since each story is accompanied by illustrations. It does not take much time to read the entire book roughly.
The two of them got together and turned to the last page in no time.
The last story was about the bard's evil alchemy experiment. After staring at it for a long time, the two of them still felt slightly dizzy.
Sean raised his head, shook his head, frowned and said, "Although most of them are dark stories, fables and fairy tales, they have nothing to do with each other."
"The only thing they have in common is that the bard appears in every story, and most of them describe the main point of view of the story," Stephanie added.
"But the image of the bard in the illustrations is rarely consistent, and there is no key point that can be connected between the various stories - after the story of "The Poet and the Greedy Snake of Wisdom", the next story became
The story of a bard and a medieval vampire plotting against each other..." Sean said.
After thinking for a while, Stephanie said: "I feel that maybe those are the true experiences of the bard. After all, if that story is excluded, the other stories will at least have a gradual change."
"Well, what should I say?" Sean asked doubtfully.
"If you recall, except for that story, in all the other stories, the character of the bard becomes darker and darker and more despicable - rather than a collection of stories, this is more like the process of the bard's decline.
Of course, we don’t know how he fell.”
Sean recalled it himself and found that it was indeed as Stephanie said, the bard was slowly getting worse. In the last evil alchemy experiment, the bard even killed an entire village of innocent residents, which was truly heinous.
.
"Then what is the purpose of the author who recorded these stories? To reveal to the world the truth about the evil nature of the bard?" Sean thought thoughtfully.
Stephanie shook her head: "This cannot give an accurate answer, but what I am curious about is the relationship between the author and the bard."
Sean thought thoughtfully: "If this author and the bard are enemies, then how can he reveal the evil true face of the bard to the world if he leaves such a collection of unclear stories? If it is a friend or family member,
There is no need to write about the existence of descendants..."
"This is obviously not a fairy tale that can be mass-produced -" Stephanie patted the weird and heavy cover, "The author must have written it to convey a certain message."
""The Poet and the Greedy Snake of Wisdom", this is the message that the author wants to convey, he/she/it is revealing a truth - as for why it should be expressed so obscurely instead of explaining it in a straightforward way,
I do have a guess."
Stephanie's speaking speed is smooth and fast, and her words are equally clear, giving people a very reliable feeling.
Sean didn't expect that the other party had already thought about so many things, so he also said: "Tell me about it."
"That new world is the trance dreamland you told me. It is the middle ground between the earth and hell. Obviously, the trance environment is very special -" the silver-haired girl walked as she walked, walked to a stone wall and took a photo
Shoot. The wooden door opened, she waved her wand, and two velvet armchairs from the Room of Requirement floated out.
"Sit down and talk." Stephanie pushed over a chair.
When Sean sat down, she drew up her legs, curled up in the chair, hugged her knees with her hands, and stared at the ceiling of the library in trance.
"The tangled illusion is special enough, and the killed snakes of wisdom and robins must be one of the most special ones in the special world, otherwise the tangled illusion wouldn't have started to gradually collapse after they died."
"Then can we assume that the snake of wisdom and the robin are in a sense the rulers of the trance-like world - people who go there have to pass seven tests before they can see the robin, and the snake of wisdom can
Drive away the final tester under the nose of the robin."
"This shows that they are probably beyond the existence of ordinary wizards..." Stephanie paused, and after secretly glancing at Sean's thoughtful expression, the corners of the girl's mouth slightly raised, and then she spoke in more detail.
.
"They may represent the rights of the trance, and the bard killed them and took a piece of the black gem. Then, the bard may also have mastered some of the abilities of the snake of wisdom and the robin.
—It's like we both have partial access to the Room of Requirement."
Sean nodded while thinking. Although they were all guesses, everything was reasonable. Stephanie's mind worked very quickly and was very sharp.
The silver-haired girl continued: "We compare Hogwarts to a trance. If the bard has the authority of the Room of Requirement like us, or even more..."
"Then he can [watch] the people in the whole castle, just like us." Sean's eyes lit up, and he knew what Stephanie was talking about.
"That's right," Stephanie agreed, "We don't monitor other people in the castle, but the bard does."
Sean continued: "In other words, the author of "Stories of the Greedy Poet" is probably a being in a trance?"
"Yes, that bard may be an extremely powerful wizard in reality, and in the illusion, he is the supreme being who can control the life and death of creatures in the illusion. Although it is just a guess, I think this is the most reasonable explanation." Stephen
Ni's tilted head slowly lowered and then rested on her knees.
"So, I dare not write it in too much detail, let alone write it straightforwardly. I only dare to use the form of a fable to suggest it." Sean made a fist with his right hand and lightly smashed it on the palm of his left hand.
"Well -" Stephanie tilted her head, her tone becoming lazy at some point, "Actually, we can also know that when the bard finally killed the snake of wisdom and the robin, there was another pair or several pairs.
All eyes have seen this scene, and the author is one of them."
"Then if we can find the bystander, maybe we can know the truth behind the whole story." Sean said.
The girl tilted her head: "That's true, but there is a problem. The trance hall should be in ruins now, but it still retains the function of a transit station [from earth to hell]. We are all living people, how can we enter the trance place?"
Where’s the fantasy?”
Sean rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly, yes, how to get in?
In fact, Sean actually knows a resident of Twisted Illusion...
Guilty [Arrogance], the huge flame giant Sean, lives in the tangled environment. Even Sean can use the Obscurus and his connection with Guilty to appear in the tangled illusion as a soul.
But the only place he can move is the one-third of an acre on the empty island. Looking outside, everything is filled with magma...
You can't ask [Arrogance]: Hey, that stupid big guy who lives in my body, what big things happened in the fantasy world back then, tell me everything you know.
Apart from this possibility, another way to enter the trance dreamland is to be like Harry in the original work - he was accidentally made into the seventh Horcrux by Voldemort. When Voldemort hit Harry with the Death Curse, Voldemort's
The soul fragment blocked the curse for him, and then Harry went to the tranceland.
Not to mention that the risk was too high, what Harry saw when he entered was King's Cross Station. This was a projection of his own heart - he still didn't know how to get to the world itself in a confusing environment.
Of course, there is another direction - the returnees must know...
"I want to know this secret and then deal with you and my guessed leader, please tell me."
Just drinking a bucket of Felixir can do this...
Looking at Sean who was thinking hard, Stephanie said softly: "Actually, you don't have to worry so much now. Our guess has not been confirmed yet, and the hidden meaning of the story has not been completely answered."
"Well, I know..." Sean smiled at the girl.
Stephanie reminded him: there is no need to worry so much now.
If there are people in the world who know this story besides the person involved, then Sean can only think of two people.
Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald.
In fact, Sean had many thoughts when he thought of Dumbledore.
In his speculation, Dumbledore and the Returned had established an unbreakable oath, and it was obviously unrealistic to want to learn the secrets about the Returned from Dumbledore.
But can this answer a question that has always troubled Sean: why Dumbledore cooperated with the Returned.
Perhaps it was because of the truth of this story that Dumbledore made such a decision.
As for Grindelwald, he most likely doesn't know this story now, and neither the elder Grindelwald nor the younger Grindelwald is in a position to discuss matters.
But when the time comes next year, after 1996, Grindelwald merges into one, and the impact of the time accident is eliminated. After Grindelwald has a complete memory, will he know more?
Sean is inclined to know that Grindelwald's extremely long time travel may even have something to do with all this.
Thinking of this, Sean stretched his waist.
"Now I am sitting here in the middle of the night trying to think of nothing, but today is not without gain. At least we know more secret things, and we can connect them with many things now."
"Yeah." Stephanie responded softly.
"Let's go back and rest first, it's so late... huh?"
Not hearing a reply, Sean moved closer in confusion.
Stephanie, who was curled up in the chair, let out a slight but steady breath. She hugged herself tightly and closed her eyes.
"Stephanie? Asleep?" Sean was speechless.
He got a little closer and could see the other person's eyelashes fluttering gently, he could see the other person's delicate and flawless face, and he could also see the fatigue between his brows.
Only then did Sean realize. It seemed that Stephanie's "quantum reading"-like ability and super memory did not come without a price. It was not as easy as she said.
In order to drive her talent, she obviously spent a lot of energy, and just now she was racking her brains to think about the whole thing.
She must be very tired...
Sean sighed softly and looked around.
She can’t sleep here either... just take her back to sleep——
Sean thought for a moment and took out his wand.
He cast a powerful force on himself, and sufficient power suddenly filled his body.
Then, Sean directly picked up the chair.
He walked into the Room of Requirement and then came to Stephanie's private little room.
Putting the chair next to the bed, Sean hesitated for a moment, then picked up Stephanie.
The girl was as light as a bone, and even though the duration of Sean's power spell had expired, it was effortless to pick up this sixth-grade senior.
However, Sean had no intention of feeling the beautiful body of the other person. He gently carried Stephanie to the bed as quickly as possible and covered her with a quilt.
"It's time for me to go back to sleep..." Sean stretched and walked outside.
As soon as he took a step forward, Sean accidentally discovered a piece of parchment on the desk in the room.
A corner of the parchment was a little burnt black, with beautiful cursive characters written on it.
An overview of the secret rooms of Hogwarts and known ways to enter them.
This is……
Sean picked up the parchment in surprise. He had seen this parchment before.
At first, he was trapped in Slytherin's small secret room. He found this piece of paper in the Room of Requirement the day after his return. Sean didn't take it to heart at the time.
However, he is now much more familiar with Stephanie than before, and he can naturally recognize each other's handwriting.
This parchment was written by her at that time...
Sean took the paper and glanced back unconsciously.
The silver-haired girl was still sleeping peacefully.
Sean sighed silently, carefully put the parchment back in its place, and then quietly left the room.
He closed the wooden door and whispered at the end.
"Good night, sweet dreams."
On the bed, the silver-haired girl seemed to be having some sweet dream, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her sleeping face was peaceful and beautiful.
