Hogwarts: Gray Wizard Volume 1 The Dark Wizard's Apprentice 261 Magic Moves as You Want The wand gently tapped the reef, and a small piece the size of a fist fell off, and it floated gently.
As it rotates and flies upward, there is a blue flame, which seems to be twin spirals, entwined with each other.
At this moment, a handful of gold powder appeared in Dumbledore's ring-covered hand, and he waved it gently against the flying Erised Stone.
Peng.
The flame burned quickly, and golden flame flowers emerged. These flowers were entangled with the Eris Stone that burned into powder, and suddenly thin silver vines grew out.
The vines intertwined with each other and soon turned into a weird-looking pendant with a wizard-like appearance. It was covered with strange dark gold runes, which looked particularly beautiful on the silver pendant.
At this time, the petals on the pendant withered, they split into two halves, and the pink petals were like wings - a butterfly composed of two petals flew up.
There is also a fine silver chain extending between them and the pendant.
Finally, the two petals collided with each other and were linked together.
The petals fluttered, leaving only a magical pendant floating in the air.
"This is alchemy, using the Eris stone to make the 'Song of the Mermaid' pendant." Lao Deng smiled and spread his left hand, and the pendant fell gently into his palm.
Anton watched all this with his mouth open.
Oh my god.
How amazing!
"But..." Anton stared at the necklace in Dumbledore's hand with confusion, "Why do I think this is a type of transfiguration."
Lao Deng smiled and nodded, "Hogwarts will arrange alchemy as an elective in the senior year. When I was studying, I discovered the interesting phenomenon of combining transfiguration and alchemy to study together."
"Just like what you said about the unity of potions and curses, in my eyes, alchemy and transfiguration have extremely interesting things in common."
"This discovery allowed me to win the Gold Medal for Pioneering Contributions at the Cairo International Alchemy Conference when I was in sixth grade."
"!
Anton scratched his head in confusion, "Cairo International Alchemy Conference?"
"Yes, child, you should have a more open vision, set your sights on the whole world, and actively explore all possibilities." Dumbledore smiled and put the pendant in Anton's hand, "When I was reading, In addition to the Alchemy Conference, he is also the winner of the Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellent Spellcasting Techniques and the British youth representative of the Wizengamot..."
Lao Deng read a long list of names, all of which were the honors he gained during his student days.
After Anton took a breath, he looked at him with a half-smile, "Oh~ Mr. Great Headmaster, you look very much like our former Headmaster Mr. Lockhart right now."
"Well." Dumbledore shrugged unhappily, "I found that if I don't tell, no one will remember me after I die. They will only say that I am a bad old man who loves vanity, and they are not even willing to look at it. Look, how did I come out of glory in the past hundred years? There are too many, and I am too lazy to achieve any more achievements."
Haha, Lao Deng, this is really interesting. Now he starts to care about this?
It seems that Rita's report still had some impact on him.
and……
Anton glanced at a ring on the finger of Lao Deng's left hand. It was the Gaunt ring that Voldemort asked him to give to Lao Deng. It was inlaid with the Resurrection Stone, one of the three Deathly Hallows, and the ring from Lao Fu's heyday.
A powerful curse that even Dumbledore couldn't break.
It seems normal that when people are about to die, they start to care about their reputation after death.
He pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Then let me help you. I am writing the book "The Wisdom of Dumbledore" and will write down all your past honors."
"This..." Lao Deng hesitated for a moment, his face suddenly turned a little rosy, "Isn't this not good?"
Anton chuckled and raised his eyebrows, "The former principal has paid the reward, a magic stone. The only problem now is..."
"Everyone knows that Principal Lockhart is dead or missing, so I'm afraid I won't be able to add his name to my book "The Wisdom of Dumbledore". This will let everyone know that he is cheating.
.”
"Cunning little wizard." Dumbledore chuckled, "I will change the principal's documents, you can keep the Philosopher's Stone, and his name does not need to be written in the book "The Wisdom of Dumbledore".
"
very good.
Everyone happily reached a certain consensus.
"The song of the mermaid?" Anton stared at the pendant in his hand, "I just saw an interesting pattern with my magic vision when you were making this alchemical item, which is particularly close to two phrases in ancient runes.
——'Death Cry' and 'Mourning Call'."
The light and shadow recording spell condensed two runic phrases with complex structures beside Anton.
"At the same time, the one that makes up these two phrases." Anton waved his wand slightly, and part of the two phrases lit up. "This graphic symbol, 'rupture caused by entanglement,' is on the mandrake.
Similar patterns have also appeared in death cries."
"There seems to be a strange commonality."
"The curse substitution hypothesis." Dumbledore looked at the runes and smiled slightly, "Ms. Ravenclaw, the founder of our school, once said that when the final effect of the curse is highly similar, it can be used at the moment of casting.
Use it instead."
Anton looked at him doubtfully, saying that he didn't understand.
"Ancient runes can only be used to express the phenomena and effects of successful magic, but many magics can produce similar effects. At this time, when we use complex spells, prepare potions, and make alchemical items,
You can replace these with those that produce the same effect."
"Anton, you have to remember something."
"Whether it's the 'Wizard's Eye' potion or other means of observing magic, what you see are only the effects of magic and spells, not the essence of magic."
"Not the essence?"
Dumbledore nodded, "It's just an observed phenomenon, the phenomenon after the curse is generated, or even just one phenomenon among countless pictures. If you put this aside, you will regard what you observe as the essence of magic.
, will become an obstacle to your continued exploration in the future."
Anton was really confused now, "What is the essence of magic?"
"Explore within, and magic moves as you wish." Dumbledore raised his head and stared at the world. "No one can explain the nature of magic clearly, and no one can give a description that everyone can recognize. It exists in
Everyone’s heart is different. But when it comes to the essence, it must be related to wizards.”
Anton thought thoughtfully, "Wizards are the main focus, not magic. On the contrary, we can better understand the reality of magic."
Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "When we have a strong enough heart, magic can bring you the most powerful empowerment. The hearts of young wizards are always pure, but when they reach adulthood, people's hearts become complicated. This is
An important gateway in exploring the path of magic.”
"This is the reason why many people's achievements stop when they are students."
"Explore within, and magic moves with your heart. The heart is the essence of magic in my opinion."
The sea breeze danced in the hair and the hem of the wizard's robe, and the waves crashed against the rocks, raising high spray.
The climate here feels a little damp and cold, and the sun doesn't bring much warmth.
Staring at the faint 'mermaid's song', Anton fell into deep thought.
