Tom lay on Ernie's warm chest, enjoying the double pampering from his master, and meowing contentedly and happily.
Fox leaned against Aini's head, glanced helplessly at his friend, and secretly thought, "You idiot."
As a creature standing at the top of the pyramid, the phoenix's perception is extremely sharp, and it discovered the changes in Aini just after he came back.
Obviously, during the previous brief separation, Ani experienced a great adventure alone, but it was a pity that he missed it.
Phoenix is a powerful and proud species. There are countless powerful wizards in history, but only a handful of them may be recognized by this legendary creature.
Strictly speaking, even the old headmaster was not included in this list. Fox followed him more because of the lingering shadow of the ancestor of the Dumbledore family - he was an extraordinary figure who could be remembered by Phoenix.
When tracing the origins of various legends, eternal life is one of the ultimate goals that humans strive for but are elusive.
In the poems that record the progress of mankind, there is no shortage of heroic figures who are astonishingly talented and stunning, and have completed one great event after another that is called a miracle in legends.
But no one can successfully conquer death, not even once.
Including the three Peverell brothers in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", as well as the legendary alchemist Nico Flamel who claimed to have created the elixir of life.
Being over six hundred years old is a miracle among Muggles, but in the eyes of wizards it can only be called longevity. In fact, many magics can allow people to seize the loopholes of death and preserve themselves.
That's right, it's about saving, not living.
After all, in the understanding of extraordinary life, the main meaning of the word "sheng" in eternal life should be "life", not "survival".
If you are ignorant and become like an ant, what is the point of living like this for a long time?
When Dumbledore came back this time, he told Aini the news that Nico Flamel was going to die, either in one or two years, or in three or four years. At present, the old man was spending his last life in a planned way. p>
Although the two have been friends for hundreds of years, Dumbledore did not show any sadness when he spoke.
If Flamel's plan succeeds, the old guy can successfully cheat "death" and choose himself out before his soul returns.
Failure is not a relief. For him, death is just the beginning of another great adventure, and we will meet again one day.
It seems that Dumbledore is more famous in modern times, but he is still far from what he was when Flamel was at the height of his power.
Even those who are considered the top figures in the human race still cannot obtain true immortality, because what limits them is not their ideas and abilities, but the intangible but ubiquitous rules.
After the Dark Ages, this world will not allow such super-class existences to appear.
Naturally, Phoenix's "eternal life" also has some flaws.
Infinite rebirth does not mean endless accumulation. The moment the fire of Nirvana is ignited, for Fox, all material possessions will turn into nothingness, and even the accumulated magic power will serve as nourishment for the flames.
Gradually losing support for the soul.
The carrying capacity of a pure soul is very limited. Except for the soul itself, all things added later will increase its burden.
This is true for the combat skills trained, the magic learned, the perception of the power of fire, etc., including the memories filled into the mind during a long life.
If it is the natural nirvana that has been accumulated to the limit, and the abundant magic power can still provide greater support to the soul of the Phoenix after the Nirvana fire is burned, then Fox can selectively retain more memories. p>
And normal Nirvana will more or less increase the strength of its soul, which can also be said to be a basic guarantee, allowing the Phoenix to retain more experience and memory during Nirvana, and become stronger quickly.
But if he is forced to perform Nirvana due to an accident, not only will he not be able to get any additional support, the little Phoenix will have to throw out more memories and experiences as fuel for the Nirvana fire, and the strength of his soul will also decrease.
It will consume the results accumulated from multiple normal nirvanas, and it will take longer to recover to the peak.
With Aini's help in Nirvana last time, Fox hardly lost any memory and experience he wanted to keep, so he recovered very quickly and greatly increased his soul strength.
The little guy decided to list the increased share as exclusive for Ani, so that no matter how many times he goes to Nirvana, he can always remember him and remember every moment of everyone's time together, instead of just remembering him like the ancestors of the Dumbledore family.
Some important things.
But now, it has missed an important adventure that was so close at hand.
"唳~"
Fox's mood was a bit complicated. He was happy for Aini's change, but also a little aggrieved by his absence.
"This time it was an accident. Let's go on a sea adventure together during the summer vacation."
Ani touched Phoenix's little head and turned his gaze to the east.
He had already speculated about the will of heaven and earth.
It can be said that before it is proven, it cannot be used in other calculations. Only after it has been accurately verified can it become a theorem, which is truly authoritative and supportive.
The experience in the Room of Requirement not only allowed him to understand the will of heaven and earth, or the existence of Gaia consciousness, also known as plane consciousness, but also gained a certain understanding of its behavioral norms.
Those erased words prove that she is not a passive observer. Under certain limited circumstances, she will also use great power to directly interfere with the operation of things.
After this, Aini seemed to have broken some kind of "knowledge barrier". Many concepts that were difficult to understand in the past can now be easily understood. Many unreasonable things in the previous cognition have also been gradually replaced and reversed. If life is like carrying a load forward in time like water, before, he was like being wrapped in all kinds of debris, hemp rope, cotton wool, and rags. The more water he got, the heavier the burden.
Now it is as if he has thrown away all the previous burdens. All that has condensed on him is the sea water that swallowed knowledge. When the salt particles filtered out of it, when the water flow dissolves them, it will make him feel more relaxed and be able to fish more from the long river.

After being mentally enlightened, in fact, if you think about it carefully, Ravenclaw's approach is not out of the ordinary. In that dark and turbulent era, which wizard would not be prepared to die with all enemies?
It's normal to leave a self-destruct function in your secret base.
According to the records of the four giants who founded Hogwarts, he has already found the inheritance place of two of them. Maybe he can look for it in his spare time. He is especially curious about the inheritance of Hufflepuff.
Legend has it that she was not only one of the top wizards at the time, but her cooking ability was unrivaled.
