Chapter 57 Guilt
It was very dark in winter, and it was just about to be dinner time. At this time, Ning Yuan was bathed in the silver moonlight on the top of the astronomical tower. The cold wind blew the snowflakes and fell on his shoulders, and there was silence around him. When the lights in the castle windows went out, the small square golden light spots flashing on the ground below also disappeared, and the sky and earth were silent.
Ning Yuan's heart was turbulent, but the nine thoughts in the sea of consciousness were flashing with crystal clear light, quietly communicating with the great source outside his body, immersed in the infinite power of heaven and earth.
After breaking it, it is established. When the sea of consciousness is restored, everything seems to be natural. Ningyuan condenses eight thoughts in a short time.
When Ning Yuan retreated from meditation, he took a deep breath, "The Demigod Soul is worthy of being related to the word "Divine". Any insignificant part will save me almost several years of hard work. If I can maintain such a progress, I don't have to worry about the second achievement."
Standing up, Ning Yuan swept away the snow on his body and quietly looked down at the entire Hogwarts Castle. In the mixed sky, only a few bright moonlight broke through the dark clouds, bringing some comfort to the world.
"The Heart of Truth!" Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, calling in his heart of truth.
Immediately, an illusory screen unfolded in front of you, [The second achievement, the tower rises from the ground, the foundation is the most important, as a wizard condenses your legendary will and the foundation of immortality. Time limit: 50 years of the Earth calendar]
"Fifty years, it's long and short. If it's not for Meilin's demigod soul, it would probably take some effort. Now it's probably going to be completed in ten years!" Ning Yuan clenched his fists and felt very confident.
However, he also knew that this method of using external forces is not the right way. The so-called key to legendary will is the word will, rather than the strength of the soul. No matter how strong the soul is, no matter how many thoughts are gathered, but if the will is not good, it is like sand and cement, with quantity but no mass, and when the thought is finally melted, it is likely to fail. Therefore, this way of devouring the soul to speed up the practice can only be an auxiliary.
Suddenly, a golden-red flame flashed by, and a piece of parchment fell to him along with a beautiful feather.
This is the method of sending messages that Dumbledore often uses. When he picked it up, he found out that it was Dumbledore's. He asked him to go to the principal's office. It seemed that he knew what he planned with Snape today.
"Sure enough, spies are spies!" Ning Yuan curled his lips as he thought that this must have been said by Snape. But he was not angry either. Snape was originally Dumbledore's man, so how could he not say such an important thing to Dumbledore?
When he arrived at the principal's office, he indeed saw a gloomy black robe that had not changed for thousands of years.
"Professor, is there anything wrong?" Ning Yuan rolled his eyes and said.
The appearance of the principal's office is no different from the past. In front of Dumbledore, exquisite silverware stood on the table with long legs, quietly spraying smoke and rotating. Some of the portraits of the old principals were napping in the photos. Some of them lazily leaned their heads on chairs with armrests, some leaned on the borders of the portraits, and some looked at the things in the principal's office with interest.
"Ning, I heard good news from Sever!" Dumbledore wore a purple wizard robe with silver stars and moon figures on it.
"About Longbottom's piece?" Ning Yuan used his magic wand to create a chair for himself, sat across from Dumbledore with a familiarity, and then brought himself a cup of hot cocoa.
"Yes, Ning!" Dumbledore looked relieved, and then gave himself a glass of honey water, "You don't know how I feel when I hear this news!"
"I admire Frank and Alice very much, whether it is their bravery or loyalty!" Ning Yuan took a sip of hot cocoa, drove away the cold of winter, and said slowly.
"Yes, everyone knows." Dumbledore nodded. "You absolutely cannot imagine the guilt I felt when I learned that unfortunate news."
"Cure? I thought that was a necessary sacrifice!" Snape, who was standing aside, sneered.
"That was just an accident..." Dumbledore sighed deeply, his eyes full of guilt, "I underestimated the madness of the Death Eaters after Voldemort disappeared..." Dumbledore's tone was very heavy.
In fact, there were quite a few wizards like Longbottom who were attacked by Death Eaters during the chaotic period after Voldemort disappeared. Whether they were dead or missing, a large number of wizards in the entire British wizarding world were attacked by Death Eaters in just a few days.
Longbottoms was lucky because of the identity of the Order of the Phoenix, the Death Eaters who were loyal and desperately searching for Voldemort did not kill him immediately, but survived!
Although I was crazy because of severe damage to the soul and consciousness, I could at least live and be with my family, instead of lying quietly in the cemetery like many people in the black horror that year. There were even many people who could not even find any of their bodies and disappeared without a trace.
"Come on, professor, you are not a god, and you said it was just an accident. Who would have thought that Bella's group of Death Eaters would be so crazy?" Ning Yuan tapped the cup with his index finger.
"... No matter what, just do your best, because no one is omnipotent! At least, now we can help Navigate treat his parents so that the old woman Longbaton can reunite her healthy children." Ning Yuan said.
Dumbledore nodded, "Then... as we said, that potion can really heal Frank, Sever, Ning?" Dumbledore asked.
"In theory, if the effect of that potion is really as Ning said!" As a potion master, even if he had an estimate in his heart, he would not say it too absolute before he really made the potion, which was very consistent with the other party's usual rigorous attitude. "However, this potion can indeed heal the damage to the soul consciousness."
"Ning?" Dumbledore looked at Ning Yuan who was drinking hot cocoa.
"It's true, but this is just an auxiliary in the treatment process! It can relieve damage on the level of mind and soul consciousness... but it is only relieved. The soul is really too mysterious. I haven't heard anyone have studied it thoroughly since ancient times!" Ning Yuan said honestly.
If you want to say that you can directly cure the other party’s potion, it is not a problem for Ning Yuan, who has the heart of truth to help deduce it.
But his initial idea was to use this to establish a relationship with the Longbottom family, so naturally he should highlight his help to the Longbottom couple.
It is not in your own interest to take out the potion formula directly. After all, it still needs to be given some credit to Snape. But now this potion needs to be combined with his own meditation method to achieve results, and the effect period is still very long. It will take at least many years to fully recover the Longbatons.
And these times are the best opportunity for him to establish a good relationship with the Longbottom family. Although he also has to share some thanks from the Longbottom family to Snape, it is very small for the entire treatment process.
It is a lost meditation technique. What should be paid attention to? What are the conventions and what are not explained clearly! If no one teaches it personally, even if he gets the method, he cannot complete meditation. After all, the first meditation is the most dangerous time. A person who is proficient in meditation must pay attention to it all the time. Therefore, he has more time to contact Longbotton's house.
After Ning Yuan expressed his specific treatment plan, a little strange color flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, which made Ning Yuan, who saw this scene, cursed himself on the old fox.
However, Dumbledore didn't say anything, just nodded in a clear way.
The three of them talked about the specific details again. Soon the time for the Christmas dinner came, and the three of them went to the lobby to attend the banquet together.
It was Ning Yuan and other wizards who celebrated Christmas together. They saw a hundred fat roasted turkeys piled up into hill-like barbecue and boiled potatoes, a large plate of delicious sausages, bowls of buttered peas, plates of thick and thick meat braised and lingonberry sauce. Every few steps along the dining table, there were a lot of wizard colored buns and firecrackers waiting for you. These wonderful colored buns and firecrackers would make a cannon-like sound, and then they would blow out all kinds of unexpected things.
When the three of them arrived, almost all the students and professors who stayed on campus were present.
After a dinner, everyone had a great time. Even when Dumbledore was mischievously played by the Weasley twins, Professor McGonagall, who had been very serious, giggled and did not stop him.
