Chapter 152 Resolved
Chapter 152 Resolved
In his field of vision, there is a huge mountain with exaggerated shape.
A mountain of memory bubbles and fragments squeezed, piled up, and gathered together.
Anduin looked at this towering memory mountain in the magical field of vision, he was sure that almost all the memories in Frank's thinking space were accumulated here, whether it was past or present.
"How could this be?" Anduin wondered inexplicably, and then concentrated on observing this special scene, trying to find some clues from it.
Then he discovered some special places. There seemed to be something hidden in this memory mountain. If you observe quietly, you can still see a faint green glow flashing through the memory bubbles.
After thinking about it for a while, he decided to give it a try, and carefully stretched out his thinking tentacles, and gently touched the mountain peak.
But at this time, a sudden change occurred, and Frank's always confused expression suddenly became ferocious, and he continued to struggle.
Discovering Frank's mutation, Anduin quickly withdrew his tentacles and ended the 'Legiliency'.
"what happened?"
Augusta, who also discovered Frank's mutation, hurried over to check Frank's state, but since Anduin withdrew his thinking tentacles, Frank returned to that confused state again.
After Augusta checked carefully, she didn't notice anything unusual about Frank, but she also noticed the strange change in her son just now, and at this moment she looked at Anduin with questioning eyes.
Because Anduin was afraid of causing Frank a second injury, he explored his thinking very slowly, and all his movements were cautious. At this time, he was also sweating profusely from exhaustion.
After taking a breath, he said to Augusta who was looking at him, "Frank's situation is a bit special."
"Oh, you're looking for the cause of the problem." Augusta asked quickly after hearing Anduin's words.
"I seem to have found it, but I haven't found it completely." Anduin himself was also very entangled, and said carefully.
"What does this mean?" Augusta frowned, obviously not understanding Anduin's words.
Anduin thought for a while under Augusta's gaze, and then replied: "Their memories, probably because they were affected by the Cruciatus Curse, are almost all huddled together, and glued together in a deformed way. If you want to restore their memories, you have to find a way to break this bonded state, but I haven't thought of any way to do it so far."
After listening to Anduin's words, Augusta stood up and paced for a while, then tilted his head and asked, "Does that mean that as long as we find a way to release their special memory state, we can restore their memory?" ?”
"In theory, it is, but the operation is very difficult." Anduin replied.
"Oh, why is that?" Augusta asked.
"Memory is not like bricks. After building a wall, it can be turned into bricks again when you cut it. Memory fragments are very fragile. If you manipulate them indiscriminately, they may even cause secondary damage." Anduin sighed.
And this kind of state is too rare. Anduin has read many books related to memory magic, but he has never found any similar records. If he starts from scratch, there is no similar material to experiment with. Take Frank and Alice as an experiment, if something goes wrong, it will kill him instead.
Augusta also sighed, "I knew it would not be that simple, maybe this is the fate of the two of them, thank you Anduin, I appreciate your kindness, I already have enough capacity, Even if they have no way to recover in their lifetime, as long as I can see them often, I will be very happy."
"You don't have to be so pessimistic." Anduin frowned, "I'll figure out a way. Although I don't have a clue now, but if I know the reason, at least there is hope."
Augusta thought Anduin was comforting her, forced a smile and nodded, "Okay, let's stop here for today, it's time for us to go back."
The two walked out of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Wounds with heavy hearts.
A few days passed after returning to Longbottom's old house. During this time, Anduin searched for a lot of relevant information, but he was still at a loss. It seems that he will not be able to find a solution for a while.
"It seems that we have to find a way to expand the reserve of information, just to get rid of that guy by the way." Anduin thought.
The next day Anduin proposed to Augusta that he would go to Diagon Alley, and he would go back by himself later, and then he took Muggle transportation to the Leaky Cauldron.
Walking into the Leaky Cauldron, Tom, who hadn't seen him for three years, was still the same, wiping glasses behind the bar alone, but the bar was still a little different from when Anduin came last time, there were already customers in the bar, and the number of people Not a lot.
When passing by several tables, I saw some guests with fried chicken on their plates. It seems that the recipe he left for Tom was quite popular.
"Boss, have a butterbeer."
Tom, who was concentrating on wiping his wine glass, heard a somewhat familiar voice, looked up, and laughed loudly: "Haha, Anduin, you still know how to come back to see me, you heartless guy, we haven't seen each other for three years. See you."
"Yeah, I've been troubled by some chores before, and it's the first time I've been back to Diagon Alley after so many years. Your business is good." Anduin smiled slightly.
"It's not thanks to you, the menu you gave me is very popular, maybe you can consider opening your own bar in the future." Tom saw Anduin very happy again, poured a big glass of butter beer and pushed it in front of him.
The two long-lost friends met again, and there were always endless topics to talk about. The two quickly chatted together, and Anduin also learned about the changes in the Leaky Cauldron and Diagon Alley in the past two years.
Since the disappearance of the mysterious man, those wizards who were hiding came out to party and carnival one after another. During that time, Tom's business was not good, and the bar was almost full of people.
But after a period of time, those unmanaged Death Eaters came out to make trouble. You must know that many of those guys are lunatics, and they are wanted and hunted down, and they act more and more recklessly, causing a lot of damage. Diagonal Lane was even under martial law for a while.
However, under the leadership of Millicent Barnold, the Ministry of Magic was extremely efficient. Frequent arrests arrested some Death Eaters and quickly suppressed the riots. The remaining Death Eaters were either Fleeing or hiding, or there is a background behind him to get rid of the crime. About half a year ago, Diagon Alley has returned to calm, and the situation is basically the same everywhere in the magic world.
