"Why do you think the little wizard is the same as usual?"
After hearing Xifa's confusion, Dumbledore's expression didn't change much.
Xifa felt very confused about this matter. Why? Such a big thing happened in the school, and the little wizards didn't even think it happened.
You know, what he did in Hogsmeade Village at that time made the little wizards in the castle panic. This time, it was in Hogwarts Castle!
Could it be that the professor cast a forgetting spell on the little wizard? Or is it the diluted Winged Demon venom?
Dumbledore naturally noticed Xifa's uncertain eyes, and naturally he also realized that Xifa had misunderstood.
Everything that had happened so far had been watched by Elise and Luna, who were sitting on the big sofa and cuddling together.
The so-called authorities are obsessed with it, and bystanders know clearly. Well, that's not true. Xifa didn't know about this curse, and he didn't tell him about it.
Elise and Luna looked at each other in tacit understanding, and they unanimously decided that they did not know what the Puppet Scarecrow Curse was. They only learned about this curse from Dumbledore today.
"The curse of the Puppet Scarecrow is quite special. It is different from ordinary curses and has obvious traces of magic." Dumbledore explained to Xifer.
"General curses happen in person, but this curse involves poisoning, casting spells, etc. over a long period of time. It is a magic composed of little changes."
"In the end, when the curse is planted, this person's behavior and magic fluctuations will be no different from usual."
"Even afterwards, they don't remember all this. Instead, they think they are normal activities."
After listening to Dumbledore's explanation of this curse, Xifa understood.
This curse has long been latent in the body of the person being cast, so when it occurs, it is silent and has no magical fluctuations. The activation conditions are set by the caster, maybe seeing a purple apple, maybe a pink bird...
After being controlled by the caster, they seem to be under an illusion. They still think that they are living a normal life, but they don't know that in reality they have been manipulated.
Really, even if I search their memories afterwards, I still don’t know what happened at that time.
Xifa was shocked. The dark wizard's methods were really cunning and unpredictable. It seemed that he really needed to learn some of the dark wizard's methods... at least, he had to understand them!
Next, Dumbledore told Xifa what happened in the castle after he left. At the same time, he once again apologized for not being able to help Xifa in time.
Xifa was silent and shook his head to show that it didn't matter.
It is indeed not Dumbledore's fault that the three of them were in danger.
The invisible spirit left Dumbledore helpless for the time being, and he could only stay in the Great Hall and stare at it.
"It should be dead." Dumbledore hesitated, "I saw it turned into fireworks, and its body turned into dust." But it's hard to say, after all, there is nothing left. What if it is one of its victims? What about special means of escape?
"This matter should be over. I have recently been looking for the person who planned everything through my connections in the wizarding world."
After Dumbledore finished speaking, Xifa nodded to express his understanding. Dumbledore was not only giving himself another explanation, he wanted to help himself to say this, but also to help himself remove some sights and let potential enemies focus on him.
The top priority now is to return to daily study life. Xifa sighed. This is really difficult.
He is now like a useless person, and he still needs the help of Luna and Elise for long-distance operations.
I wanted to ask how I could take care of myself, but I encountered a little problem when I arrived.
Xifa hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell what happened just now.
"Professor, I think the person who shot Luna in the Forbidden Forest was Tom Riddle..." Xifa detailed the conversation between the two of them just now to Dumbledore, and also shared her guess about Tom. come out.
"You mean, because of Tom's momentary hesitation, you concluded that he was recalling the scene in the Forbidden Forest?"
Dumbledore sounded a little disbelieving, but Xifa was not a little wizard who secretly slandered other people's characters, so he couldn't help but pay attention. At present, he still 'preferred' Tom.
Finally, Dumbledore thought for a long time and sighed.
He still didn't believe it, but if Xifa said it... he would test Tom.
Looking at Dumbledore's hesitant expression, Xifa finally resisted asking why Dumbledore cared so much about Tom. He couldn't understand such a violent, cunning and dark potential dark wizard...
Forget it, as long as you are strong, no matter what Tom does, as long as it doesn't interfere with you.
Keeping her thoughts in her heart, Xifa broke the silence: "In addition to these two things, there is another important thing I need the professor's help with."
Dumbledore looked at him and nodded to show that he was listening.
Xifa didn't speak anymore, but turned to look at Elise.
Seeing Xifa's eyes looking at her, Elise handed Xifa's wand from her hand to him with understanding.
The spells she had cast just now were all using Western magic wands.
"Fire is raging"
After taking the wand, Xifa waved the wand with a small movement.
A flame as big as a basin came out of the tip of the staff. It disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye, with only a wave of heat proving its appearance.
This power is about the same as that of an average first-year freshman.
Dumbledore understood that Xifa was showing that his current strength was only this, and he needed some new means.
"Tell me what you think. What's the direction?" Dumbledore looked at Xifa with interest. Xifa wouldn't choose black magic, would he?
There are a lot of powerful magics that Westerners can cast now, but those are the magics that can only be used to catch the enemy. As the magic is cast again and again, Xifa will soon become a ghost. Yes, I can’t even graduate.
"Alchemy, professor, I want to learn alchemy." Xifa stroked the wheelchair with an incomprehensible tone. He wanted to build a pair of armor for himself.
"Do you want to learn alchemy?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and asked in a surprised tone.
You know, many young wizards give up because alchemy is obscure and difficult to understand, and Xifa actually asked about this.
Xifa spread his hands and told Dumbledore his thoughts. Since he couldn't do it himself, he could rely on external things to supplement it.
Now I don't have the ability to tame a pet that is powerful and has a tacit understanding.
Dumbledore did not answer immediately. He was also thinking about Xifa's current situation.
The total amount of magic power is okay, but the 'water valve' that outputs magic power cannot be fully opened due to mental damage.
Practicing more may speed up mental recovery, but ordinary magic is not suitable for Westerners to practice for a long time.
Dumbledore had already been prepared. He had long wanted Xifa to learn this kind of magic.
