Chapter 256
Growing old is the fate of creatures.
As long as you have a substantive life, there is no way to resist the decay brought by time. Even if the body can maintain youth, the decay of the soul is irreversible after all.
Like the Flamel couple, they have had enough of the pain of the death of their relatives and the departure of their close friends for a long time.
birth, aging, sickness and death are such is human nature. The Flamel couple still accompany each other, but he has been alone for many years.
But this is his punishment for himself.
Those who have abandoned their blood alliance should be punished a little.
Dumbledore suddenly wanted to take a break.
He has not had a good rest.
So he put down the pen in his hand.
...
Peeves found Jon on the roof of Hogwarts.
In fact, it cannot be said to be found. After all, in Hogwarts, his perception is spread all over the school.
"You have taken my place, kid."
Peeves suddenly appeared in front of Jon who was half-lying, and Jon was taken aback.
"I heard the fat cultivator say that you like to sit here, but now it seems to be true."
Jon moved his body and gave Peeves the place come out.
"Sit down and chat with me."
Of course, Peeves can sit down, and his body can be transformed into an entity. Ghost originally has this special ability. They are The "life" that has inherited the gift of death possesses a special intangible thing.
To put it plainly, they can form a "shell" on their surface by temporarily aggregating magic elements, so as to achieve a state similar to a living person.
It’s just that this state is just a representation, and it can’t last too long, and what is wasted is the fundamental substance of ghost—death dust.
As a substance transformed from the soul when experiencing death, the meaning of death dust to ghost is more important than the meaning of soul to human beings.
Without the soul, the human body can still survive as a vegetable, but without the dead dust, ghost is really scattered ashes and smoke dispersed.
So ordinary ghosts will not be substantiated. They dare not and do not have this requirement. They do not need to interfere with reality. Ghosts also benefit a lot from the existence of magic-they can exist in magic elements. It's like walking on the land, just like Jon can always see fat cultivator sitting in the common room of Hufflepuff reading a book before.
But obviously Peeves doesn't seem to be bothered by this. If it weren't for the endless dust of his death, then he didn't need any energy consumption to transform into an entity.
"Of course it's the latter."
Peeves, who is sitting next to Jon with his knees, is not half as tall as Jon, and looks lovely when he is quiet.
However, he seemed to be able to hear what Jon was thinking. As soon as Jon's thoughts were over, he replied.
"Don’t be so surprised, I’m Wraith. A little special ability is not a normal thing?"
Peeves seems to enjoy seeing Jon surprised, Jon thinks he This is a problem in my heart.
But having said that, Peeves has a problem in his mind and it is not a day or two. At least in front of him, he is not the ghost who likes to make funny pranks.
"Don't read my thoughts casually, it reminds me of some bad memories."
Jon refused this behavior, his Occlumency practiced still not perfect, Moreover, it is impossible to maintain the use of Occlumency at any time, which is very expensive.
And Occlumency is okay for magic like Legilimens. Peeves' mind reading magic is a kind of profiling magic existence, which is more difficult to fight than Grindelwald's mind reading spell.
After all, Grindelwald's mind-reading is to interpret soul fluctuation, and it can only be used completely under the special environment where the two met last time, otherwise it will still be blocked by Occlumency.
"What's the matter with me, right?"
Jon looked towards Hogwarts, who was shrouded in the night in front of him, his thoughts seemed to be opened.
No wonder Peeves likes to sit here.
"Don't speculate about me, I like sitting here not because of this."
"I said not to read my thoughts."
Jon Said angrily.
"Okay, okay."
Peeves compromised and started talking about serious things.
"Dragon Soul Crypt, I suggest you think about it." He said: "From my perspective, I don't recommend that you go there to complete your things. If you want If you find a quiet place, I can find ten or eight for you. You don’t have to go there."
"What's in there?"
Jon asked very simply Dao, the more Peeves covered up, the more curious he was.
"Since you asked sincerely, then I'll be merciful to tell you."
Peeves shrugged and told Dumbledore everything Jon.
"Although the place is said to be able to come out, but who knows how long you will stay in it, although the dragon soul crypt has not been used for a long time, but the dragon soul is still there, and the magic energy is always there. Accumulated, you must be dangerous to go in."
"I think so too."
After listening to "catalytic magic", Jon probably knows what kind of danger level it is. He is also considered a person who has watched the war. The magic of the Holy See is basically made for the wizard.
The so-called catalytic magic is essentially instilling magic power.
The magic element does not have attributes, but the magic power of the wizard has a little attribute. The magic power of different attributes will compete with each other, forming a situation of "Obviously everyone has the same strength but you just can't beat me", and it catalyzes Magic is more overbearing. This magic often comes from high-level wizards against low-level wizards. A large number of magic powers of different attributes are used to directly explode the low-level wizards. A little bit of good luck may be similar to the magic power attribute. And being assimilated, bad luck is the kind of direct death, even the soul can't survive.
"But the catalysis magic should be time-limited. Impossible hasn't dissipated for so many years?"
Peeves gave Jon a blank glance: "A question you can think of, Can someone else’s red-clothed Archbishop think of it? The reason for sacrificing myself is to keep this magic, and the magic that can exist under Formation for so long, how can it not have its own way of existence?"
"Formation "
Jon is not surprised to hear any words from Peeves now. This ghost always speaks little by little, and he never finishes it in one go.
Jon doesn’t care either: "To be honest, if it weren’t for Helga must, I don’t know this place, so you can just go ahead and think about it, right?"
