After Luo Zhen and the others left, Ryan quickly got up and cleaned up. Ten minutes later, he was sitting at the dining table.
Because he hadn't eaten for three days, he was indeed starving. After a hearty meal, Ryan began to chat with Teacher Luo Zhen about the details of the puppet making that day. But before chatting, Luo Zhen first hid it behind his back.
The puppet shouted out.
"Didn't you keep asking your brother why he didn't wake up a few days ago? Why were you so concerned about him then and so shy now?"
After saying this, the little doll walked out from behind Luo Zhen, then gave Ryan a very ladylike skirt-lifting ceremony and said: "Rose Crystal has met my brother."
"Rose crystal?" Ryan asked with some confusion.
"Yes, a child must have a name when he is born. We had to choose the name after you fell asleep. It was the name that Alice thought of first." Luo Zhen responded. "Don't you feel bad?
"
"I think it's very good." Ryan thought about the name Xiao Zi that came to his mind when he saw the doll. He felt that this was not something that he, a person who was useless at naming, could do. It would be better to use the name given by Alice.
Although Ryan felt the power of the world's will from this name.
Of course, what makes Ryan breathe a sigh of relief the most is that the doll calls him brother instead of dad. After all, a single father is really a very hard role. Unlike Luo Zhen, he is not married yet and has not yet done so.
So ready to be single and raise a daughter.
After feeling Ryan's heartfelt love, the doll called Rose Crystal came over and sat on his shoulders, then held Ryan's head and listened quietly to the conversation between the two.
"By the way, there is something important to tell you. Each person can only make up to seven of these dolls, because our souls can be split up to seven times while making dolls. If we continue to split
All dolls will lose their minds." Luo Zhen warned Ryan with a serious face.
"Seven times?" Ryan suddenly remembered something very important. "Why does this sound so much like Voldemort's Horcrux?" Because if Harry is included in the original text, Voldemort made a total of seven Horcruxes, and they were also divided.
Seven Souls. Although Ryan has not seen much of the work Rose Maid, he also knows that Luo Zhen ended up making seven dolls. What do these two things have in common? Is it just a coincidence?
"Horcrux, what is that?" Luo Zhen asked curiously, because he had never heard of this thing before. After Ryan gave a rough explanation, Luo Zhen thought for a long time before saying, "I think I know what that is.
, this is very similar to a kind of magic originating from ancient Egypt. You know about mummies, right?"
Ryan nodded. Mummy plays an important supporting role or even a leading role in a large number of literary, film and television works. He naturally knows about such a famous thing.
"In fact, mummies originated from one of the earliest methods of escaping death. At that time, someone invented the idea of cutting off a small piece of one's soul to make a phylactery and keep it in a safe place, so that when one's life is in danger, one can be reborn.
method. And the Horcrux you mentioned is very similar to this life box." Teacher Luo Zhen explained.
"In the explanation of magic, the method of making a mummy, taking out the stomach, intestines, liver, and lungs and putting them in separate jars but leaving the heart is actually a metaphor for cutting off a part of your soul when making a phylactery.
, but you must remember that only the soul in your body is the most important, and you must not put the cart before the horse. But as time goes by, ordinary people who cannot master magic also get this method, but they just do it literally.
, resulting in this method becoming world-famous as a method of preserving corpses."
"If the cultural backgrounds of our two worlds are not much different, the Voldemort you mentioned making Horcruxes is actually splitting souls to make phylacteries."
"But Voldemort said that making Horcruxes could keep him away from death." Ryan asked further, because there is no book in Hogwarts that talks about Horcruxes. So since Teacher Luo Zhen talked about similar things, he
I just want to ask clearly so that I can understand from the side what is going on with the Horcrux.
"It's very simple. On the one hand, it is difficult to die no matter what kind of fatal injury you receive when you have a phylactery. On the other hand, each phylactery will provide the owner with a lifespan equal to the original body lifespan. If you say
If that person made seven Horcruxes, it means that he has eight times the ordinary life span. You must know that even for a person who has mastered extraordinary power, living nearly 1,000 years is very long. Of course, this is
The conclusion reached in my world, but according to my observations of you, your world should be similar. But if you can get a Horcrux sample, I can conduct a detailed analysis."
Luo Zhen continued after analyzing Voldemort's Horcrux. "But just like the rules of the world, no matter how powerful a transcendent is, he can only divide his soul a maximum of seven times. According to the records of making phylacteries, once this is exceeded,
The self-awareness of the digital person will disappear. Even if the soul still exists at this time, he will not be him at that time."
At this point Luo Zhen paused and warned.
"Not only that, the separation of souls when we make dolls is just like cutting nails or hair. This can all be recovered. Even if it happens too many times, it will only affect our creations and not ourselves."
Hearing this, Ryan felt that the strength of Rose Crystal holding his head suddenly became slightly stronger. However, Luo Zhen did not notice this scene and continued.
"But if you want to save your own life and cut off your soul, on the one hand, the risk and complexity are far beyond our methods of making dolls. On the other hand, you need to cut off the main body of your soul, which is equivalent to amputation for ordinary people.
Surgery. It will also cause certain irreversible problems in the damaged soul. The most important thing is that the immortality brought about by this method is actually achieved by consuming the power of the soul body. It will cause their soul to disappear completely.
And the disappearance of the soul is actually extremely dangerous and bad for extraordinary people, even worse than death itself."
"But I'm not entirely sure what the Horcruxes in your world are, unless you can let me see a sample." At this point, Luo Zhen looked at Ryan with eyes that were thirsty for knowledge.
"I think I know where a Horcrux is, and I can bring it to you when I'm free." He said to Teacher Luo Zhen.
"Don't worry, I'm just researching. I will never use such a stupid method to harm the soul. After all, the top of alchemy can naturally obtain eternal life." Luo Zhen solemnly promised after listening to Ryan's answer.
Ryan thought of Dumbledore's words in the original text: "Death is just a great adventure." It seems that the harm to the soul caused by Horcruxes is far more serious than he imagined. After all, even Luo Zhen
The teacher, an alchemist who can touch the origin of the world, and the great professor like Principal Dumbledore both pointed out the importance of the soul, so there must be some big problems in cutting the soul wantonly.
"Okay, this is what I want to tell you. You must pay attention to the importance of the soul in your future life." After speaking, Luo Zhen stood up, and when he walked to the door, he turned back and said, "To celebrate
With the new members joining, I decided to hold a banquet for Rose Crystal that night."
"Thank you, teacher!" At this time, Ryan also stood up and sent Luo Zhen off respectfully.
Everyone had a great time that night. Three days later, when Ryan felt that the wounds in his soul had been completely healed, he said goodbye to Teacher Luo Zhen and his daughters and returned to the Wanjie Grocery Store with the Rose Crystal.
