Chapter 261: Magic Moves with Your Heart

The wand lightly tapped the rock, and a small piece the size of a fist fell off, and it floated up gently.

Accompanied by its spinning and flying upwards, is a blue flame, as if twin spirals, entangled with each other.

At this moment, a handful of gold powder appeared in Dumbledore's hand full of rings, and he waved it lightly against the flying Stone of Erised.

Boom.

The flames burned rapidly, and golden flame flowers emerged one after another. These flowers entangled with the burnt and powdered Stone of Erised, and suddenly sprouted thin silvery vines.

The vines weaved intertwined with each other, and soon turned into a strange and wizard-like pendant. It was full of strange dark golden runes, which looked particularly beautiful on the silver pendant.

At this time, the petals on the pendant withered, and they split in two. The pink petals were like wings—a butterfly made of two petals flew up.

There is also a silver fine chain link extending between them and the pendant.

Eventually, the two petals collide and lock together.

The petals fluttered, leaving only a magical pendant floating in mid-air.

"This is alchemy, using the Erised stone to make the 'Mermaid's Song' pendant." Lao Deng spread his left hand with a smile, and the pendant fell gently into his palm.

Anton watched all this dumbfounded.

God.

It's amazing! ! ! !

"But..." Anton stared at the necklace in Dumbledore's hand suspiciously, "Why do I think this is a type of Transfiguration?"

Old Deng smiled and nodded, "When Hogwarts was in his senior year, he would arrange alchemy as an elective. When I was studying, I discovered the interesting phenomenon of combining transfiguration and alchemy."

"Just like the unity of potions and spells you mentioned, in my opinion, alchemy and transfiguration have extremely interesting things in common."

"This discovery allowed me to win the gold medal for pioneering contributions at the Cairo International Alchemy Conference when I was in the sixth grade."

"!!!" Anton scratched his head in doubt, "Cairo International Alchemy Conference?"

"Yes, child, you should have a more open vision, set your sights on the whole world, and actively explore all possibilities." Dumbledore smiled and put the pendant in Anton's hand, "When I was studying, In addition to the Alchemy Conference, he is also the winner of the Barnabus Finkley Award for Excellent Spellcasting Technique, and the representative of the Wizengamot British youth..."

Lao Deng read a lot of names, all of which were the honors he got in his student days.

After taking a breath, Anton looked at him with a half-smile, "Oh, great Mr. Principal, you are very much like our former principal, Mr. Lockhart."

"Hmm." Dumbledore shrugged uncomfortably, "I found that if I didn't say it, no one would remember it after I died. They would just say that I was a vain old man, and they didn't even want to see it. Look, how I have come out of glory in the past one hundred years, there are too many, I am too lazy to achieve any achievements."

Haha, Lao Deng, this is really interesting, now you start to care about these things?

It seems that Rita's report still has some influence on him.

and……

Anton glanced at the ring on the finger of Lao Deng's left hand. It was the Gaunt ring that Voldemort asked him to give to Lao Deng. It was inlaid with the resurrection stone, one of the three Deathly Hallows, and the ring of Lao Deng's heyday. A powerful curse that even Dumbledore could not undo.

It seems normal that when a person is about to die, he starts to care about his posthumous name.

He pursed his lips and smiled slightly, "Then I will help you, I am writing the book "Dumbledore's Wisdom", and I will write all your past honors in it."

"This..." Lao Deng hesitated for a moment, his face suddenly became a little rosy, "Is this not very good?"

Anton smiled and raised his eyebrows, "The ex-principal has already paid the reward, a Philosopher's Stone, the only problem now is..."

"Everyone knows that Principal Lockhart is dead, or missing, so I'm afraid I can't add his name to this "Dumbledore's Wisdom", which will let everyone know that he is cheating .”

"Cunning little wizard." Dumbledore chuckled, "I will change the headmaster's file, and the Sorcerer's Stone will keep it, and his name doesn't have to be written in the book "Dumbledore's Wisdom". "

very good.

Everyone happily reached a certain consensus.

"The singing voice of the mermaid?" Anton stared at the pendant in his hand, "I just saw an interesting pattern (dark green crack) with your magic vision when you were making this alchemy item, which is very close to the ancient rune two phrases—'death cry' and 'sorrowful call'."

The light and shadow recording spell condensed two complex rune phrases beside Anton.

"At the same time, this that makes up these two phrases." Anton waved his wand lightly, and part of the two phrases lit up, "This pictorial symbol, 'Breakage from Entanglement', appears on the Mandrake's A similar pattern has also been seen in the death cry."

"There seems to be a strange commonality."

"Spell substitution hypothesis." Dumbledore looked at the rune and smiled slightly, "Ms. Ravenclaw, the founder of our school, once said that when the effect of the magic spell is finally displayed, it is highly similar, and it can be replaced at the moment of casting the spell." instead."

Anton looked at him suspiciously, expressing that he did not understand.

"Ancient runes can only be used to describe the phenomena and effects of successful magic, but many magics can produce similar effects. At this time, when we use complex spells, prepare potions, and make alchemy items, These can be replaced by those that produce the same effect."

"Anton, you have to remember something."

"Whether it's the 'wizard's eye' potion or other means of observing magic, what you see is the phenomenon of magic and spell effects, not the essence of magic."

"Not the essence?"

Dumbledore nodded, "It's just the observed phenomenon, the phenomenon after the spell is produced, or even just one of the countless pictures. If you leave this aside, what you observe is the essence of magic. , will become an obstacle to your continued exploration in the future."

Anton was really puzzled now, "What is the essence of magic?"

"Exploring inwardly, magic moves with your heart." Dumbledore raised his head and stared at the world, "No one can explain the essence of magic clearly, and no one can give a description that everyone agrees with. Everyone's heart is different. But when it comes to the essence, it must be related to wizards."

Anton was thoughtful, "Majority is the main focus, not magic. On the contrary, I can better understand the reality of magic."

Dumbledore nodded with a smile, "When we have a firm enough heart, magic can bring you the most powerful empowerment. The hearts of young wizards are always pure, but when they become adults, their hearts become complicated. An important juncture in the quest for magic."

"Many people's achievements stop in their student days, that's the reason."

"Exploring inwardly, magic moves with the heart. The heart is the essence of magic in my opinion."

The sea breeze fluttered the hair and the hem of the wizard's robe, and the waves beat against the rocks, causing high splashes.

The climate here feels a little damp and cold, and the sun doesn't bring much warmth.

Staring at the faint 'mermaid's song', Anton fell into deep thought.
