539 Anton's small class for the principal and professors
It is one thing to understand some truths yourself, but it is another thing to tell others so that they can understand them.
As the path he traveled became more and more profound, and no one could be seen on the path in a certain narrow field, Anton began to spread his knowledge in an interesting way.
This is a process. It is human nature to treasure oneself, and it is also human nature to resist loneliness. When Anton planned to integrate into the wizarding world and transform from Anton the time traveler to Anton the wizard, everything happened so naturally.
Obviously, Dumbledore had a broader mind. With Anton's consent, he called other professors to have a tea party together.
Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, Professor Flitwick, Professor Lupin, Professor Fiennes...
"The long river of time is built by the memory of intelligent creatures." Anton's eyes were filled with bright stars, and he walked around the empty space of the office holding a glass plate of ice cream in one hand and waving a small silver spoon in the other.
"It's not a definition, it's an observed phenomenon."
"Attention, it is the memory of intelligent creatures. There are two stone monsters at the door of my cabin. I believe many professors have seen them. They are not intelligent creatures. This is an interesting observation."
"So, what are the differences between intelligent creatures, us humans, magical animals, and stones?"
"Because our memories are accompanied by emotions and will."
"At least in my observation, it is memories with emotions and will, such individuals, that together build the long river of time."
"At the same time, the long river of time is also protecting these memories."
Anton took a mouthful of ice cream and put it in his mouth, squinting his eyes. The ice cream these house elves made for Lao Deng was so delicious!
"But our soul is not just memory, emotion and will, there is also another element, and that is thinking!"
"Thinking is the most special part of the soul, because it cannot exist alone." Anton took out the wand, gently pressed it against his temple, and slowly drew out a long milky white line, "You see, this is memory, but
It does not contain the thinking of our wizards themselves."
He stuffed his memory back again.
"Thinking requires the support of the body in order to have thinking activities."
"And this body doesn't have to be a physical body. It can be a magical item, such as a diary. It can be a specially refined item, such as Professor Fiennes' puppet body."
As Anton talked, there was no one else in his eyes. He seemed to see countless galaxies, which were so mysterious.
"It can also be a picture frame."
The principals on the wall exclaimed, and the professors stared at them in surprise.
"In other words, with a picture frame, thinking can exist and the soul becomes complete."
"Ghosts are a special kind of existence. They are the projection of memories with emotions and will in the human world. Because they have no body, their thinking will lose activity and they cannot think anything. Everything seems to be stagnant before death.
."
"The black magic of Horcrux is also a special existence. It creates a backup of memory and creates a body for this backup, so the mind becomes active. However, because this soul container is generally unable to think, for example, as you can see
These two, Hufflepuff's cup and Ravenclaw's diadem."
"Then, just like a ghost, by being projected into the real world in some way, this special 'ghost' becomes a complete soul that can think!"
"This is the state of the mysterious man's wandering soul. In essence, he is a thinking ghost, and there is no way to eliminate it. After all, it is just a projection of memory in the real world over time."
"These are the four elements that make up the soul, memory, emotion, will and thinking." Anton took another bite of ice cream and shrugged, "As for whether there are other elements, I don't know."
"I have been to the world of the dead."
"I discovered an interesting thing. When everyone forgets the existence of a person, and when all traces of him in the real world disappear, then he will have no place in the long river of time."
"That is to say, his memory with emotions and will will be deleted. Well, he is no longer needed and protected by the passage of time."
"After this, he will be considered completely dead."
"So the world of the dead is an interesting place because it allows the mind to remain active without a body."
"To sum up, I think human death is not the real death. We can go to the world of dead souls and return to the real world. Those who are prepared can become wandering souls. Those with portraits can live in the portraits, and some can still live in the portraits.
In some oil lamps, etc."
"I don't know where the real death goes, but I have seen the disappearance of a certain soul in the world of dead souls, and his face seemed to be full of happiness."
Anton spread his hands, "This theory is not necessarily correct, but I found that it can explain a lot of things we have seen, such as a haunted witch cabin in the mountains. These legendary mysterious things are actually related to the principal.
There is no essential difference in the portraits."
There was one thing Anton didn't say.
If he reasons according to this theory, he will find that Pedro the Leprechaun is doing something extremely vicious.
He is vicious to himself, and he is also vicious to the goblin clan.
He turned himself into a monument that smeared the memory of the entire goblin family, and completely became the anchor of the goblin family in the long river of time.
At the same time, the souls of the fairies who died will also be completely stranded in the world of souls.
Then, as long as a wise man who is proficient in the 'realm of life' appears in the descendants of the goblins, there will be a way to bring the entire goblin clan back to the real world from the world of dead souls.
Resurrection, there are countless such things in the history of magic.
‘Time and Memory Collector and Traveler’, such a title is more than just a title among the goblin clan.
As Anton finished the ice cream in the glass basin and licked the plate, he put the plate down with some hesitation and said, "I'm done."
The whole principal's office was silent, the professors didn't speak, and the principals didn't speak either.
Everyone fell into a long period of thinking.
The truth is such that Anton explained everything so clearly without reservation, and everyone was deeply shocked.
A door to a magical world seemed to open just like this.
"Oh~"
"Here comes the lovely Anthony Weiss~"
The Sorting Hat on the shelf opened its mouth, shook the tip of the hat and spoke. "What about me, what am I?"
"There are specialties in the arts." Anton spread his hands with an innocent face, "I just studied the souls of intelligent creatures. Are you a magic prop, an alchemy item, or some kind of activation object? I don't even know this. You
You should ask Dumbledore."
The Sorting Hat quickly looked at Dumbledore.
Dumbledore just ate the ice cream in small bites and winked at it innocently and playfully.
"Oh~" The Sorting Hat sighed longly and closed his mouth and eyes.
"Anton's spirit of exploring magic is worth learning. I think I will give you an answer." Dumbledore stood up and said to the Sorting Hat.
Then the Sorting Hat laughed happily.
"Oh ho ho, is it true? You know, every intelligent creature will think about what it is and the meaning of its existence."
"Yes."
Dumbledore smiled and applauded, "Let us pay high respect to the wizard Anthony Weiss who pioneered the path of the soul. He is a wizard worthy of respect!"
Bang bang bang~
Everyone clapped, and the Phoenix Phoenix was awakened by the loud noise. It raised its head from its wings in shock and looked at the wizards with sincere faces.
Anton just smiled shyly, feeling a little shy for no reason.
