Elena lowered her eyes, avoided Dumbledore's gaze, looked at the end of Dumbledore's long silver beard, and whispered.
If Elena had to choose one person in the wizarding world that she least wanted to meet, there is no doubt that it must be the famous headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore.
Not only because of his superior magical strength, but more importantly, Dumbledore is a master of Legilimency - in other words, a mind-reader similar to Professor Charles in "X-Men"
By.
Unlike other wizards who need to rely on spells and wands, masters such as Voldemort and Dumbledore who are proficient in Legilimency do not need to recite spells when casting Legilimency. They can easily read thoughts with just line of sight.
Therefore, they can always accurately identify when someone is lying to them.
Judging from the original work, there are no legal restrictions on the use of Legilimency, because when Snape was teaching Harry, Dumbledore did not hesitate to use Legilimency when asking others in emergencies. Obviously Elena did not
I don't think Dumbledore would be so capable as not to peek into her brain.
You know, as a time traveler, Elena has too many secrets that cannot be known. From the moment she woke up from the Gryffindor common room, Elena has been thinking about how to spend this time.
close.
"You seem to be afraid of me?"
Dumbledore glanced at the girl's slightly trembling shoulders, shrugged helplessly, and said gently. "Am I so ugly? You know, I always thought that I was quite popular with children."
He became more and more curious about the silver-haired girl in front of him. Whether it was the magical piano music before or her understanding of the entire magical world, they all seemed so different.
"It's not that I'm afraid, I just simply hate the rude Legilimency."
Elena took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, raised her head, looked straight into Dumbledore's eyes with her lake-blue eyes without fear, and said, since she has come to this point, then blindly escaping is obviously
It's pointless, it's better to try a head-on confrontation.
"I don't see the need to continue chatting with a robber who breaks into someone's brain."
Generally speaking, in the knowledge of wizards, there are only two ways to resist Legilimency.
The first method is to try to avoid eye contact and distance yourself from the caster to reduce the success rate of Legilimency.
However, Elena believes that this method may not be that effective for a powerful Legilimency master like Dumbledore.
The other is to learn Occlumency, like Professor Severus Snape, to seal the brain against magical intrusion and influence, and even allow the brain to lie without exposing itself.
It is equivalent to a directional defense spell against Legilimency, but this is also unrealistic for Elena.
However, in fact, from Elena's point of view, wanting to hide one's thoughts does not mean that one must drive the other party out of one's brain. In fact, there is a third way of confrontation.
That is, using rigorous scientific knowledge to fight against mysterious magical power.
Elena tried to clear her mind and began to recall a complex manifold analytic mapping that she had learned in college: Lie group E8 ([Lie group E8]), a group of 18 top mathematicians in the world who relied on their unremitting efforts to create a complex manifold analytic mapping that lasted a long time.
In four years, one of the most complex mathematical structures in the world was completed.
This was also the only way she came up with during her day trip to Hogwarts to resist Dumbledore's Legilimency - making thoughts detectable but not understandable.
Lie groups were invented by the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie in the 19th century when he was studying multidimensional symmetry. After E8 was proposed in 1887, not many people can understand its structure until now.
It is used to explain the phenomenon that symmetrical objects can be moved at will while maintaining the same shape. E8 explains the symmetry of 57-dimensional objects. One of the reasons only advanced mathematicians will know - E8 itself has 248 dimensions.
.
The reason why Lie group E8 was chosen is that many scientific projects need to process large amounts of data, but the calculation of E8 is an exception: the amount of input data required is very small, but the answer itself is huge and very dense.
.
In other words, Elena only needs to recall the basic mathematical derivative formula in her mind. If Dumbledore wants to try to interpret it, he needs to complete the entire derivation based on the formula.
To give a simple example, when Einstein was explaining the theory of relativity, everyone could understand his language, but could not understand the meaning expressed in his language.
It's just that Elena went one step further on this basis and buried a small pit. That is, as long as she tries to deduce and understand [Li Qun E8], she will inevitably fall into a job that is dozens of times more terrifying than human genetic engineering.
Quantity, if the data generated by the entire calculation process are listed on paper, the required paper area can cover the entire Manhattan.
You know, human genetic engineering requires one billion bytes of disk storage space, and E8 requires 60 billion bytes.
Even if the four founders of Hogwarts were resurrected, it would be impossible to complete the understanding process directly with zero basic knowledge of advanced mathematics.
"Exquisite and genius ideas, is this the power of the non-magical world?"
The old man's azure eyes behind his half-moon lenses looked at Elena quietly for a second or two, then he took the initiative to look away, rubbed his brows slightly tiredly, and let out a very emotional exclamation.
The spiritual world of the mixed-blood Veela is inherently more sensitive than that of ordinary little wizards. Coupled with the rigorous and orderly mathematical model that exists like exquisite art, Dumbledore just tried to decipher it for a second or two before he felt his brain begin to blur.
Pain.
More importantly, after this simple glance, Dumbledore finally intuitively realized that what Elena said before, the terrifying growth power of the non-magical world - the research and exploration of the origin of the world is no longer
It only belongs to the domain of wizards.
Dumbledore calmed down, collected his mood, and seriously looked at Elena standing next to the piano again.
The little silver-haired Luoli's childish little face looked particularly nervous, and her deer-like lake-blue moist eyes were full of hostility. Her petite body was shaking slightly unconsciously. She was obviously in a strange environment and had no words.
He showed so much strength.
How afraid is this child...of the magical world?
Dumbledore shook his head, and under Elena's gaze as if he was facing a formidable enemy, he slowly walked up to the girl, squatted down so that their eyes were parallel, and carefully reached out his hand and touched the girl's flushed face.
Silver shiny hair, said sincerely.
"I'm sorry, please forgive an old guy for being confused."
Dumbledore's eyes were soft and sincere, no longer as sharp as before. He looked like a helpless grandfather who had accidentally angered his little granddaughter, full of guilt and pity.
"As the Headmaster of Hogwarts, I promise you that I will never use Legilimency on you again."
"..."
Elena bit her lip, her expression softened slightly, and she said nothing.
It is difficult for anyone to have a bad feeling towards this great wizard who has appeared throughout the Harry Potter series. Since Dumbledore made a promise in the name of Hogwarts, he will naturally not break his promise again.
Seeing that the girl in front of him had a slightly loose look in his eyes, Dumbledore smiled slightly, took out his wand and flicked it, conjuring a cup of cold ice cream balls.
"As an apology, would you like to try this lemon ice cream made in the Hogwarts kitchen? As far as I know, it should be a very popular dessert in your world. I also like it very much."
Dumbledore blinked nimbly at the silver-haired little Luoli and handed the tableware in his hand forward.
"Humph, I'm not a three-year-old!"
Elena looked at Dumbledore as if he was coaxing a child, glanced at the delicious-looking ice cream ball, puffed her cheeks angrily, and couldn't help but say.
After casually peeking into a girl's mind, you try to coax her with a little dessert. How is that possible?!
Noticing the look in the silver-haired little Luoli's eyes, the smile in Dumbledore's eyes grew a little thicker. He gently took Elena's hand, placed the porcelain cup containing lemon ice cream on it, and said gently.
"So, can you spend a little more time now and listen to an old man's chatter?"
After Elena hesitated for a few seconds, she stretched out her little tongue and licked the cold lemon ice cream, feeling a refreshing sweet and sour taste blooming from the tip of her tongue.
"...Well, you tell me." The silver-haired little Luoli narrowed his eyes happily and said with a small spoon in his mouth.
