Chapter 1050 Mr. McGonagall's Magic Eyes (Part 1)
Malcolm McGonagall, author of Trust Your Eyes, Stupid.
"McGonagall?" Anton curiously opened the title page of the book, but unfortunately there didn't seem to be any introduction on it.
In the wizarding world, as long as McGonagall is mentioned, Anton will think of Professor McGonagall-this is inevitable, because the surname McGonagall is a Muggle surname.
"It's Professor McGonagall's younger brother." Anna leaned over to take a look, brushed her hair behind her ears, thought for a while, and gave Anton an affirmative answer.
"Professor McGonagall has a younger brother?" Anton blinked.
"Well, she has two younger brothers, the eldest is named Malcolm, and the youngest is Robert Jr." Anna said softly, "Their father is a Muggle, and half-blood wizards had a difficult life in those days. , In order to fight for the right to live, both brothers joined the saints."
"Good guy!" Anton murmured, almost thinking about what would happen between Professor McGonagall and these two younger brothers at that time.
Interestingly, Professor McGonagall's mother is a witch from a powerful pure-blood family, while her father is a Muggle priest.
Yes, those religious figures who are the main ones engaged in the witch hunt.
Malcolm McGonagall seems to be a wizard with a somewhat violent personality. In the text of the book, Anton can feel from the style of writing a mad bearded wizard speaking roaringly while drinking wine.
The magic field that this wizard is good at is magic props, but it is not the magic props of spoof toys like George Fred, nor the new magic props of Arthur like clocks and cars.
It is the kind of magic props that are more traditional wizards. Of course, from the current point of view, tradition means black magic, and all of them can be classified into black wizards.
What they are doing is probably the kind of magic props similar to the 'hand of glory' and 'shrinking human head' sold in Bojinbok's shop.
Very classic, maybe he should have received a lot of help from his mother's family, otherwise he would not have been able to walk this magical path.
All the wizards who uphold ancient crafts, the things they make are quite evil. Even if these people have mixed up to the level of masters, they will not be seen in those serious bookstores in Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village. Man's monograph.
The first half of this Mr. McGonagall's book is almost all about how to protect such a fragile thing as the human eyeball.
Even if there is magic and various magical potions in the wizarding world, there are no good solutions for many human problems in the human body.
Such as Harry's myopia, Dumbledore's presbyopia, Umbridge's obesity and so on.
Mr. McGonagall's method is to take the eyeballs out of the eye sockets, make them into magic props, and put them back in.
The advantage is that with such maintained eyeballs, even if they live to be hundreds of years old, their eyesight will always be at its peak.
The downside is that it needs maintenance, and the cost is not low.
Not everyone can accept such an approach, but Anton watched it with gusto.
Mr. McGonagall is definitely a master-level character. What he expounds in the book is not as simple as the eyes.
——Any life in this world will have a process of gestation, growth, maturity, decay, and corruption. No one can escape, it is a natural process, unless it is not a life...
——After the eyeball is taken off, it has nothing to do with you, and you can even regard it as your son or brother.
——So it doesn’t need to change because you cry because of sadness, and it won’t change because you’re happy, it’s just a tool. It's no longer a window to your soul, it's a friend with messages to you. The point is that it won't lie to you unless you intend to lie to yourself.
——This is the greatest significance of making eyeballs into magic props. It is separated from your life, separated from your emotions, and no longer has any emotions. It can tell you what the world is like, and it is no longer the kind of picture that you can only see what you want to see.
——Your emotion can't be transmitted to this eyeball, it has nothing to do with you, and it doesn't care how much you care about the woman in front of you. It will only tell you clearly that when this woman expresses her love to you, her eyes are actually greedily looking at your treasure, and the slight changes in her nose should be holding her breath to endure your body odor...
—Trust your eyes, don't let your heart fool you, you fool!
——The production process of the "Eye of Reality" is very complicated, but it is worth it. You will no longer ignore any subtle information, and you will not automatically ignore things that appear in the peripheral vision of you just because you pay attention to someone...
——The "Eye of Reality" is separated from your life cycle, separated from your destiny, separated from everything, so it will have a very unique performance in divination. The soothsayer Eudora McMillan called it a loss of spirituality, which is simply fart, so that it can truly see the truth of fate...
——In this way, you are equivalent to being deeply in two fate orbits at the same time, one is yourself, and the other is this eyeball, which will change your fate. There is no better way to escape the bondage of fate than this...
This is not ordinary theoretical knowledge about the production of magic eyeball props.
It's more like an in-depth discussion of the relationship between wizards and life, involving a wide range of content, starting from life itself and continuing to the topic of fate, explaining Mr. McGonagall's worldview in a simple and simple way.
To use an inappropriate description, it is like a fish that sticks out part of its body out of the water to live. Then this fish is equivalent to living in two living environments at the same time, water and air.
Well, it is different from ordinary fish.
According to this method, wizards will show completely different characteristics from everyone else in the long river of life. And it's as simple as getting an eyeball, there is no more cost-effective way than this.
Um……
At least Mr. McGonagall thought so.
The deepest magical principle contained in it lies in the division of the soul.
Yes, it is to cut the soul into two parts, the individual soul, and the soul part of the eyeball.
An incomplete soul will bring about a change in fate. The most wonderful thing is that after the eyeballs are re-inserted into the eye sockets, the soul is reassembled and the destiny becomes complete.
Anton finished flipping through the theory in the first half of the last page, flipped through it again, turned his head and said to Anna with emotion, "This Mr. McGonagall is really bad!"
Anna froze for a moment, she just snuggled up next to Anton and finished reading these contents, and didn't think there was any problem.
"He must understand, but he didn't say it in the book." Anton curled his lips, "That is, if the eyeballs made into magic props are lost, my soul will be completely crippled, and I will even be backlashed by fate. become full of bad luck."
Anna gave him a blank look, "So serious?"
Anton raised his eyebrows at her, "A certain wizard without a nose became mentally disabled, and he was still very weak. He couldn't do anything, and the way he died in the end was also very funny."
"Puff~" Anna laughed, of course she knew who Anton was talking about.
The two continued to read, and the second half of the book contained the seven eye magic items researched by Mr. McGonagall.
The magic props for these eyes don't have much connection with the first half of the theory, and they don't seem to be made from the original eyeballs.
If you haven't figured out this flaw like Anton, you may even feel that this is a patchwork of two books.
"Look, after I lost my eyes, I found some replacement methods, but the incompleteness of the soul can't be repaired, it's useless."
Anton clicked his tongue.
Anna looked at Anton suspiciously, "Then Gore also lacks the part of the soul about the eyes?"
"No, no." Anton shook his head. "It's not an easy task to cut the soul. Except for Mr. McGonagall's tricky method, Voldemort even needs the life force that erupts from killing."
"it is just……"
Anton thought for a while, "The soul is still intact. Logically speaking, potions or ritual magic can regenerate mutilated limbs. Like Goyle, even if his expression is suppressed by powerful magical power, he will still Feeling that phantom pain at some point."
The seven magic props of eyes in the book are worthy of Mr. McGonagall's master status.
Four of them are replaced by the eyeballs of magical animals, the invisible monster who can see the crisis in a short period of time in the future, the cat leopard who can take the mind and hypnotize, the thestral which can spy on life and death, and the cat cat with spiritual vision son.
The reason for choosing these four is that Mr. McGonagall's idea is to skip the completeness of life and the completeness of the soul, and work directly on the filling of fate.
And the remaining three really made Anton's eyes shine.
The first is the "reflecting petal mirror" - the baby has a big palm and usually hangs it on the chest, allowing it to replace the function of the eyeball.
Its visual effect is similar to that seen by normal eyes. The advantage is that it can be placed in any corner of the world, and the normal visual effect can be maintained.
"Oh my God!" Anna exclaimed, "This ability is so powerful, it can even allow us to stand on one side of the earth and see things on the other side."
"Quack quack..." Anton smiled wretchedly, "Yes, it can also be hung in the women's bathroom..."
Anna rolled her eyes at him, "You are not allowed to do this!"
"You're thinking too much, I'm so stupid to do this kind of thing." Anton curled his lips, "The principle of this thing is to directly open another window in the mind, do you know what this means?"
Anna was obviously extremely smart, and she reacted instantly, "Imperius Curse! Facing this mirror is equivalent to facing this person. Oh, even if you use the Killing Curse to attack the mirror, the wizard will die directly!"
Anton nodded at her, "Yes, what's more terrifying is that losing this mirror is more terrifying than losing your eyeballs. As long as someone holds this mirror, it's like being dragged into the palm of your hand." gone."
