After having dinner in the auditorium, it was already late at night when we returned to the cabin.
After a while, the windows of the cabin lit up, and he went to the second floor to fill a cup of green and fizzy drink from the petals of the 'juice flower' cultivated by Anna. Anton sat alone in front of the experimental table.
"Tons, tons, tons~"
Anton looked at the cup in surprise, smacked his mouth, "It tastes surprisingly refreshing."
It's not very sweet, and has an elegant floral fragrance. Apart from the weird wizard-style appearance, this thing is exceptionally smooth in the mouth.
Inexplicably, I still feel a little happy.
After tasting the juice, Anton looked at the book in front of him seriously.
Black magic books are very dangerous, not only because of the content inside, but also because the book itself is a very dangerous magic prop.
Therefore, every black magic book that is borrowed will be equipped with a detailed instruction manual.
This is no joke, just flip through it and read it, it is something that only reckless people would do, and the end result will not be too wonderful.
Especially the one in front of me is particularly weird.
It is estimated that Mrs. Pinsi gave Anton this book because Anton had already borrowed so many banned books.
First, prepare a bottle of sobriety potion.
Although Anton already had the magic spell of 'A Ray of Sunshine' to help him maintain his original intention, he cautiously found the magic potion from his suitcase and drank it.
This thing was an exercise made when I was studying Potions with Professor Snape.
Snape asked him to keep this bottle not out of generosity, but because he wanted him to analyze the differences between the potions he made several times to determine how well he had mastered it.
Habitually leaving the bottom behind, Anton dried the lid and put it back into the suitcase, letting the elephant vine drag it into the ground again.
Next, there is a long list of runic spells.
I waved my wand, practiced following the wand gestures and key notes in the manual for a long time, and then I waved it and pointed it at the book.
He muttered this very long curse in his mouth.
The brown book once again returned to a black texture with strange horniness, and two rows of huge fangs opened and closed, spitting out thick black smoke.
Black smoke condensed and lingered, wrapping the books.
As the spell continued, the black smoke began to turn into a strange dark red color, began to float into the air, and eventually turned into a dense fog the size of a human head.
At this time, you need to put your head into this strange thick fog and then open the book.
In this way, you can watch it normally.
Not very difficult.
The title of the book is "Chopping and Mash, One Finger" and it was written by a man named Andy Vian Jay Smith in 1623.
"Written by a descendant of Hufflepuff?" Anton was surprised for a moment, and then he realized that the descendants of the founder of the Great Academy should have been a very powerful magic family before the family inheritance was cut off.
This book really explains the mysteries of the human body. The author uses a very lazy tone to tell the story of a child who had his finger pricked by a magic flower with thorns and coughed for a whole month.
After studying herbalism and potions, he began to examine this memory and discovered a magical thing - there was some magical connection between his fingers, blood, and lungs.
This connection exists in the human body and in magic.
Yes, when wizards study the human body, they must talk about magic. This is an unavoidable topic. Wizards are really very different from Muggles. The body under the influence of magic is already very different from Muggles.
Of course, this difference is not reflected in anatomy.
The author decided to start his research from the fingers, from the small to the big, from the fingers to the whole body, from the fingers to the soul, from the fingers to the magic power.
He divided a complete wizard into three levels: body, soul, and magic.
After elaborating on this layering, he then explained many of his experiments: how different magic powers affect the body and soul, how different body changes affect the soul and magic power, and a small amount of research on the soul.
Based on this research, he found a creature that was suitable as a comparison group with wizards - house elves.
An intelligent creature that casts spells with its fingers.
Although this knowledge is profound but still comprehensible, the second half of the content made Anton feel extremely uncomfortable.
The author gave himself a finger, a house elf's finger.
Yes, he cut off a finger from his slave's hand and put it on his own hand. And his original finger was attached to the house elf's hand.
Then came the long decades of records, recording that after he released countless magic spells, the elf finger completely turned into a human finger, although the nails still looked black and large.
The finger on the boundary of the house elf's hand is also slowly changing into the unique appearance of a house elf.
Although it still maintains human dimensions.
Finally, the author cut off his fairy fingers and conducted countless experiments, including the final step of chopping and mashing.
"..."
To be honest, although it was a bit creepy, Anton was really reading this book with a look of worship.
This boss came up with numerous conclusions - the body and soul of a wizard are not the soul residing in the body, but two sides of the same body.
When our body loses a certain part, as long as the soul is intact, it can be restored at any time through the intermediate medium of magic.
When our soul loses a certain part, the body actually retains all the information and can also be restored through magic.
The second conclusion is: long-term deformation of some non-human form, or long-term influence of some kind of curse, eventually this change will be reflected on the soul, resulting in a situation that cannot be restored by magic. (Anton thought of Voldemort's nose.
)
The third conclusion is: Even if the body and soul are damaged, the magic flowing in our bodies has already recorded all this, and the integrity of the soul and body can be restored through magic.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The premise is that magic power must have a fixed way of operation.
In other words, there must be a habitual spell that completely changes the 'shape' of the magic so that it can become a constant anchor.
The fourth conclusion is: when the magic power is transformed by the curse, it will affect the body and soul at the same time, and the soul will be affected first.
For example, if you learn black magic, it will be extremely easy to become cruel, vicious, and negative.
For example, if you learn healing spells, you will easily become caring and dedicated...
To put it simply, all the magic spells in the world will change people's personalities, and this change is due to our personality, soul, experience, desire, purpose, etc., which all determine which spells we will often use.
The curse will affect the mind, but in the final analysis, the mind chooses the curse, which has a subtle subjective consciousness.
In addition to these four conclusions, there are also a large number of experimental records and countless curse records in the book.
"Yeah, I actually forgot about the role of magic in it." Anton closed the book in admiration, waving the airflow to stir on the book, causing the red smoke to turn into black smoke again, and swallowed it into the mouth of the fangs.
This magical book once again returned to its appearance as a brown book.
"It seems I have to update my theory of the Trinity." Anton smiled and wrote four words on the notepad: self, soul body, magic power, body.
"But that's not right. I have two kinds of Animagus, the Owl and the Oracle. I even have another side of my soul, the Color-Changing Wind Bird. According to his theory, I should be affected by these.
Yes."
not at all.
Anton is very sure.
After experiencing the influence of Lao Fu's "Confusion Curse", Anton had a good review of his own experience and all the changes, and he was clear about his status.
"..."
Let's assume that this big guy is right. After all, there are so many experiments to support his point of view.
So……
Anton gently opened his palm, and a ray of sunlight bloomed with warm and hazy light.
"Follow your heart and live in response to your heart. Is this my subconscious choice?"
"Stick to who you are?"
Anton suddenly waved his magic wand, and a mirror formed by the water surface came into view clearly. He stared at his face and figure.
Everything was changing slowly. After a while, he turned into a thin man with black hair and yellow skin.
This is what he looked like in his previous life.
However, the changes continued, and he turned into a man with red hair, light blue eyes, and fair skin.
This is what he looks like now.
"so……"
Anton's eyes widened, "My soul is broken into paste. Although it is because the old wizard cast too many curses, it is also because I am not sure of my position?"
"Who am I supposed to be?"
"What kind of appearance, what kind of state, what kind of mentality do you plan to live in this wizarding world..."
Anton's heart was completely confused. Now, not even a ray of sunshine could give him an answer.
"Stay in the past, or blend into this world?"
"Ha~"
"Why should I think about this kind of problem? Is the wizarding world so troublesome? Isn't it necessary to first understand your true intentions when studying magic?"
"I...I lived in confusion in my previous life, but I lived well. My salary increased year by year, and I started to save money to buy a house and find a beautiful girl to be my wife."
"I……"
The elephant-eating vine dragged the suitcase up from the ground. Anton threw everything in and watched in confusion as it retracted into the ground again.
"I……"
"I have no idea."
Anton pursed his lips, pushed open the door of the hut and walked out. He came to the shore of the Black Lake and stared blankly at the slightly rippling water.
Halloween has passed, time has quietly entered November, and the cold wind has brought down the scattered snow.
Anton put on the hood of the wizard's robe, put his hands into the pockets of the wizard's robe, and sighed quietly.
Looking back on the time he traveled back in time, he still retains the playful tone of the network keyboard warrior otaku in his previous life, still has a certain mentality of a wanderer traveling to another world, and still doesn't care about anything else except family and friends.
He is like these thin snowflakes floating in the air.
It falls gently on the black lake, rippling, and may disappear and melt at any time.
"Gan!"
"It's been four years since I traveled through time. Maybe it's time to think about this issue."
