Chapter 696 The Reasoning Makes Sense, Horcruxes Are Like That.

It is not easy to find the goblin Pedro, and Anton contacted Lupine and Rozier again, only to find out that no one had any news of Pedro.

No one knew where he was hiding.

But that didn't bother Anton.

He walked into the 'elevator' of the hut, letting the Elephant Elephant Vine control it all the way down.

Below the Elephant Elephant Vine hut is a warehouse. This is something that all the hut partners know, and everyone will put some treasures here.

George and Fred have always kept a certain number of flame mammoths, just to collect their magma urine and use them as fertilizer for the elephant vines. Now a dark red magic pattern will even appear on the dark green vines of the Elephant Elephant Vine, which looks more powerful than before, making everyone feel particularly safe.

But they don't know that the biggest change of the eclipse vine is the root system.

Its complex and terrifying root system is so huge that it can rival the Hogwarts castle complex.

This kind of vine hut can no longer be moved wherever you like like before. The magical plants fit well with the surrounding environment, and moving it is a pain in the ass.

And at an unknown depth underground, there is a small secret room of a few square meters wrapped in roots.

The secret room is very empty, only a huge cabinet.

The disappearing cabinet that can travel through space is a magical creation from the ancient goblin family. It can freely shuttle in and out regardless of the confinement spell of Hogwarts Magic Castle.

As Anton came here, the roots of the elephant vine squirmed, the wall cracked, and a vine wrapped around the suitcase hung down from above.

A few more vines weave through the ground to form a table on which to place the suitcases.

There are not many things in the suitcase, an alchemy doll containing the resurrection stone, one of the three Deathly Hallows, an Anton's Horcrux, a milky white translucent cloak that looks a bit like a ghost, and a cloak made by Anna. time converter.

And this time converter is how Anton finds Pedro.

Since Pedro always appeared during Christmas and two months before Christmas, he could always find Pedro as long as he went to the past two times.

Now, though, there are more important things to do.

Update archive.

Things are changing nowadays, whether it is Grindelwald's "fate magic", Dumbledore's "heart magic", Voldemort's "self magic", or Pedro's "time magic", they are all so terrible.

This level of casting is no longer simply waving a magic wand to release a spell, it almost affects the entire world.

Anton is indeed fearless in the face of death, but that doesn't mean he is stupid.

Death is a great adventure, isn't life a great adventure?

No, life is harder, more fun, more exciting and greater than death!

Not being afraid of death does not mean yearning for death. Why don't you care if you can have more possibilities and more excitement when you are alive.

Horcruxes are no secret to Anton now.

At first, this thing was a cloud backup for Anton's soul. As long as this cloud backup is not destroyed, then his existence in this world will always exist.

But Anton's understanding now goes deeper.

Considering this Horcrux with the six elements of his soul, it will appear very simple.

First of all, a person's self (memory, emotion, and will) will always exist, even in death.

People's memory is constructed into a long river of time, and the long river of time in turn keeps people's underlying memory from being destroyed.

Unless this person is forgotten by time.

After forgetting, one disappears from the world of the dead and is completely liberated.

However, the human soul is not only the self, but also the 'way of thinking', or 'personality'. Only when the body bears the load can the 'mode of thinking' appear. The same self resides in different bodies, and the 'way of thinking' will change.

For example, in the original version of Animagus, in the body form of animals, people's way of thinking will be more inclined to animals. Such as a tabby cat, such as a big black dog.

Horcruxes are used to fix the 'way of thinking' carried by the original body, maintain the original 'personality', and guard the most authentic self.

And as long as it is the most original self, then with the help of magic power, it can maintain the 'trace' that lives in the long river of 'time', that is, the past destiny.

See, the Horcrux is actually a replica of its real self.

With this replica, people will not have the concept of "death" in time, in fate, in society, etc. no matter which dimension they are in.

This is the mystery of the Horcrux.

It makes sense, and Horcruxes are like that.

Following this line of thought, Anton can even tell the meaning of things like ghosts and magic portraits.

Because of the excess of "emotion" or "will" in a certain aspect, the three elements of the self are unbalanced. This "obsession" produces a powerful magic power, which supports the existence of "memory" in the real world. It becomes a ghost.

The magic portrait is the other way around. It is because of other people's longing for the original owner, mourning, etc., the superposition of this external "emotion" or "memory" leads to the imbalance of the three elements of the self, resulting in a strong magical support The existence of the self in the real world.

Some thoughts can't create such an existence, in fact, it's just because there is no magic portrait.

So the magic portrait will be more like a real person than a ghost.

Yes, as guessed by the little wizards who don't understand anything, the magic portrait and ghost mean that the wizard has not died completely.

Similar miraculous beings, and some evil spirits created by faith, etc.

"I don't know what my dear Professor Voldemort's understanding of Horcruxes is? He seems to have said that he also made a breakthrough in his understanding of Horcruxes."

Anton took out a snuffbox from the pocket of his wizard robe, rummaged through it, and finally found a potion ingredient.

Color-changing windbird.

A spore group invisible to the naked eye, a relatively rare magical plant, often used as a material for unknown headaches, dizziness, and treatment of vegetative people.

First use the death curse to completely cleanse its life.

Anton raised his wand to aim at his eye sockets, and held the color-changing wind bird in front of him with the other hand, and the wand moved slightly.

"Cruciate!"

Soul scalpel.

It didn't even take two seconds for a simple and practical Horcrux to be done.

Look, as long as you thoroughly understand the principles of magic, in fact, no matter how high-end magic is, it's nothing more than that.

"Great."

Anton's expression flashed, he didn't put the group of color-changing windbirds into the suitcase, but let the vines of the elephant-eating vine wrap it and stuff it deeper into the ground.

At this point, the matter of updating the archive is done like this.

Taking out the time converter from the suitcase, Anton gently dialed the time scale on it, thinking that it would be more appropriate to go to that time slot.

Best when you're not in the same place.

Doing your best to avoid crossing paths with your past self is a basic rule of thumb when using a time-turner.

After all, he is not a "collector and explorer of time and memory" like Pedro or Anna. As his understanding of "time magic" deepens, he has also begun to pay attention to this aspect.

As the old wizard Fiennes said, sometimes achievements are full of accidents. If we go back to the past, I'm afraid we won't dare to mess around like that.

The more you know, the more awe you will have in your heart.

In particular, the mysterious and treacherous time magic is even more unpredictable.
