Chapter 1040 Recording Point: Rules (Acridine for a Monthly Pass!)
The scene in the Room of Requirement has not changed.
Or, to be more precise, the Room of Requirement-Recycle Bin has not changed.
As a wonderful magical room accompanying the birth of Hogwarts Castle, the Room of Requirement is like a parallel world. There are countless "parallel Rooms of Requirement". No one has ever counted their respective types, but what is certain is that they are definitely
An objectively existing room.
In the world view of the standard universe, wizards can repeatedly enter rooms where "similar wishes" are generated.
This repetitive behavior may even span thousands of years.
Among them, the "Room of Requirement - Recycling Bin", which was born from the desire to "hide things", is undoubtedly one of the oldest rooms.
"Don't worry about those things around you. We are not here to clean up today."
Elena opened the door, grabbed Hannah who was about to run around, and followed the little fat chicken's navigation to get to the mirror smoothly.
The Mirror of Erised remained silently in place.
Black velvet cloths were stacked aside, not neatly but more like they had been randomly discarded.
Elena glanced at the pile of fabrics calmly, raised her eyebrows, and showed a look that was indeed the case.
There is a certain, immature "self-awareness" at Hogwarts.
This is the consensus reached by her and many researchers.
In fact, since she first stepped into the "Room of Requirement-Recycling Bin" last night, she realized:
There must be some unknown force in this space, quietly sorting out the debris after people leave.
Otherwise, this place would have long been turned into a garbage dump instead of a "city" with basic order. Judging from the movement of the black velvet cloth, this sorting power should be slow and simple, but if it can be supplemented with some
With a little help, there is a lot of potential.
While Elena was looking at this boundless space, the other three little witches crowded nervously in front of the Mirror of Erised and looked inside.
"Hermione, Hermione, what did you see?" Hannah asked quietly.
"I did not see anything"
Hermione frowned and looked sideways into the mirror.
Maybe she was standing in the wrong position, but she couldn't see anything in the mirror except Luna's appearance.
"Well, me too...I can't even see you, I can only see Luna's reflection..."
"I can only see Luna here. If the mirror is not broken, then that can only mean"
Hermione whispered thoughtfully, turning her head to look at Luna standing between the two of them, about to ask something.
The next moment, Hermione's voice suddenly stopped in her throat.
Luna bit her lip tightly and stared dreamily at the Mirror of Erised directly in front of her, with two lines of tears silently sliding down her cheeks.
They had never seen Luna like this.
She looked like a helpless little animal, trying hard not to whimper.
Luna's hands were trembling, as if she wanted to raise them up to touch the mirror, but she hesitated and did not dare to reach forward.
"Mom?" she called in a low voice, "are you over there?"
In the mirror, a seemingly adult version of her was standing behind her, looking tenderly at Luna in front of the mirror.
It was 10,000 times clearer than the photo in her bedroom, as if it were a real person.
Luna subconsciously stretched out her hand and groped behind herself. If she really existed, Luna could definitely touch her.
But all Luna touched was the air. Just as Elena said before, everything in the mirror was an illusion in their hearts.
"She's not in the mirror, Luna, she's always here..."
At this moment, Luna felt her hand fall into a soft, slightly cool palm.
Elena took her hand and gently placed it on Luna's chest, and gently wiped away the tears on Luna's face with her other hand.
"Okay, you have to take a rest. It's time to let Hermione, Hannah and the others take a look at the Mirror of Erised... come here and take a rest."
Perhaps Elena couldn't guess what Hermione and Hannah saw in the mirror.
But as for what Luna would see in the mirror, Elena knew that there was no suspense long before Luna proposed coming to the Room of Requirement. Luna must have died unexpectedly due to a curse accident two years ago.
Mother, Pandora Lovegood.
In fact, after being caught after returning from a night out last night, Elena had hesitated to tell Luna about the Mirror of Erised.
However, after thinking for a few seconds, she still chose to believe Luna.
If Harry in the original book could resist the temptation of the Mirror of Erised, then there is no reason why Luna should not be as good as Harry.
Unlike most young wizards and even adults, the Lovegood family has a unique way of coping with illusions.
On the other hand, Hermione and Hannah's reactions to the Mirror of Erised were much duller.
As Albus Dumbledore explained in the original world:
The happiest people in the world can use the Mirror of Erised as an ordinary mirror, because what it reflects is the most urgent and intense thing in people's hearts. In other words, the happier they are.
The more difficult it is for people to immerse themselves in the illusory world in the mirror.
Compared to Luna, Elena, Hermione and Hannah, they obviously don't have any strong desires for the time being.
Especially after they were promoted to the "Reserve Major Arcana", most of the things in this world with clear prices have lost their meaning.
"Okay, the visit process is over, let's do something else."
A few minutes later, Elena clapped her hands and said with a relaxed tone and a smile.
Regarding Hermione, she had no desire to know what Hannah saw in the mirror.
The Mirror of Erised has quite a few limitations. It will change according to the user's mentality and life course.
In the eyes of children who have not yet had any regrets and are so young that they have not yet opened their eyes to see the future clearly, the function of the Mirror of Erised is more of fun.
However, if it appears to certain people and under certain circumstances, the effect it may have is completely different.
After thinking for a few seconds, Elena turned her head to look at her side and said softly.
"Luna, take a last look at it. It should be moved to a new place starting tomorrow."
"As expected, it will be used as a new SCP containment object and will be temporarily stored deep in the inner world of the Succubus City. If you want to take a look at it later, you may have to go through a lot of processes. I long for this kind of
Ethereal things can only be turned into beacons of the future under certain circumstances.”
"No, that's fine."
Luna's eyes stayed on the mysterious magic mirror for a moment, shook her head firmly, and answered softly.
"Mom just hid it in my and dad's hearts, in the mirror, and around us, didn't you say? The Mirror of Erised reflects the deepest reflection of each of us, and as seen in the mirror
That way, they never left."
"...That's right."
Elena looked at Luna quietly, smiled and nodded.
Immediately, she took out her wand, turned towards the huge mirror, and waved it lightly.
(→?→)つ—☆【Get smaller quickly】
The Mirror of Erised that originally reached the ceiling quickly shrank in size, and in less than a few seconds, it quickly turned into a small square mirror the size of a palm.
As a public storage room in Hogwarts, things here have no ownership rights. Elena calmly picked up the pocket version of the Mirror of Erised and put it in her chest. She raised her hand and lightly snapped her fingers, summoning it back in mid-air.
The food reserves are flying around.
"Let's go out and prepare to reset this room. Let's try a new room."
"Reset?"
Hannah asked curiously.
"Of course, remember what I said before? This is...the Room of Requirement."
Elena nodded, her eyes flashing brightly as she looked around the boundless space.
"We happen to be free this Christmas, so let's try its limits and record how many worlds it has. And how far it can go. Starting with you, Hannah, each of us will
Make wishes in turn and imagine any scene."
Compared with the Mirror of Erised, which is just an illusion, the Room of Requirement is a wishing room that truly responds to "wish".
The most important thing is that judging from the information currently available, it is still a wishing pool with no cooldown and no upper limit.
Elena pulled Luna, led Hermione, and Hannah out of the room.
…………
On the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, the corridor where the tapestry of the Troll Beating Barnabas Silly is located.
As Elena and others stepped out of the door of the "Room of Requirement-Recycling Bin", the door disappeared.
Behind them is a smooth and solid white wall. There is no obvious hidden passage. This is completely different from the passage leading to Professor Dumbledore's office. This is a truly magical secret passage, not a magical secret passage.
What agency.
"Well, this time it starts with you, Hannah."
Elena raised her right hand, snapped her fingers, and summoned four small writing tablets.
As she spoke, she distributed the writing pad in her hand to each little witch and explained seriously.
"Each of us recorded the wishes in our minds and the appearance of the corresponding room. After the test was over, we went back to the dormitory to summarize. For example, just now: 'The place where things are hidden', 'The Room of Requirement - Recycle Bin',
Scene description…”
What Hogwarts, or the wizarding world, lacks is not profound magic, nor outstanding witches and wizards.
What most wizards lack is scientific logical thinking.
Science has never been opposite to magic, or even on the same level.
What is quite ironic is that if we look closely at the origins, wizards are the first people in human civilization to be involved in scientific concepts.
Whether it is the alchemists in the Middle Ages, the magic masters in earlier times, or even the ancient wizards who were called prophets, shamans, wizards, witches... and many other names in the early days of human civilization, they have always been
Exploring and deciphering the laws of this world.
What Elena is doing now is just to let the torch of human wisdom radiate the light of magic again.
As for the starting point of recovery, it is naturally a certain scientific Hogwarts.
"So what do I start? Well, I want, um... a place to store a lot of wine?"
Under Elena's encouraging gaze, Hannah walked back and forth along the corridor three times, imitating the white-haired dumpling she had done before.
The next moment, the door that had just disappeared silently reappeared before their eyes.
They looked at each other, stretched out their hands, and turned the brass handle.
“Wow, incredible”
Hannah stepped into the room and was shocked to see the completely new room inside.
The cathedral-like space filled with clutter a few minutes ago disappeared.
Instead, there was a long and narrow wine cellar that stretched as far as the eye could see, with a faint aroma of wine permeating the space.
Guru
Hannah's throat rolled a few times, and she looked at the rows of wine barrels with some greed.
As the future heir to the Leaky Cauldron, her instincts were telling her how delicious the wine was.
"Ahem, you can't drink. Minors are not allowed to drink."
Elena glanced at Hannah who was about to move, raised her finger, and said with a serious face.
"Except for Christmas Day, I can't do it the rest of the time. I don't want to be caught by Professor Dumbledore smelling of alcohol. By then, we are all screwed. Even if we won't be imprisoned, the consequences of suing the parents may be even worse.
,right?"
"Well, okay"
Hannah reluctantly moved her eyes away from those attractive-looking wine barrels.
"Then let's start checking and recording, shall we? I have experience in this. I have occasionally helped with inventory before."
According to the previous plan, in addition to summoning different rooms, they also had to explore them.
While walking back and forth in the wine cellar, they wrote carefully on the writing board.
"Record: 'Place where wine is stored', 'Room of Requirements - Wine Cellar'."
"Estimated storage capacity of wine..."
"Occupied area..."
…………
Half an hour later.
Hallway at the entrance to the Room of Requirement.
"Well, let me take a look...the library, the magical animal battle station, the breeding room, the magic classroom, the small playground..."
Elena read the records on the writing board one by one, and tapped the quill thoughtfully on it.
Just like her previous guess, the Room of Requirement can faithfully realize most of the conventional scenarios.
Even though the "Fantastic Beasts Battle Station" sounds a little strange, after describing their wishes several times, under the influence of the unknown magic of the castle, they finally completed the record as they wished: a Quidditch pitch that is almost as big as a Quidditch pitch.
Such a huge Colosseum.
On the other hand, Elena has almost figured out the rules of the Room of Requirement.
First of all, wizards cannot limit or require the contents of the Room of Requirement, they can only request the function of the room.
For example, if they want to reach the "Room of Requirement - Wine Cellar", they must go through "Looking for a place specially designed to store wine" instead of "I want to go to a place with wine".
This also puts an end to Elena's attempts to summon nuclear reactors, planetary engines and the like.
Secondly, the Room of Requirement cannot respond to some vague, subjective special wishes.
The simplest example is that the Room of Requirement cannot appear in a room that exudes a high concentration of love potion, nor can it create a "scary" room. The Room of Requirement cannot understand any wish that involves subjective feelings.
Of course, it will still appear as a door.
But inside is a relatively strange room, such as a potion brewing room, or a dark room without light.
Finally, and at the same time the most core point: what the Room of Requirement "reads" is the most original idea.
Or more accurately, primitive desire.
"Human desires have no limits. Even the simplest ones, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes."
Elena looked at the white wall with a playful expression, and the little devil in her heart began to flap its wings and wag its tail involuntarily.
Perhaps, she can start trying some more complex and difficult "wishes".
But let’s start with those simple wishes that are reasonable but a little difficult, and then gradually narrow the scope...
Elena wrote seriously on the writing board:
"I need a place that is large enough to dock, repair, and maintain the Hyperion Battle Group."
Great! It’s not broken!
