"What!" Peeves was suddenly surprised, "You discovered Peeves' secret so quickly! It's not fun! How did you find out?"
Xie Lin smiled and said nothing.
He had no intention of betraying Aquila.
Peeves could only sigh and said: "Okay, I've done it all. I'm actually a magical creation created by old man Merlin, his crooked and bad old man, because he felt that the school in the era of the four founders was too serious. Dull, so created the great Peeves to make laughs for this school!"
Xie Lin chuckled secretly, I'm afraid you are the only one who is happy. The principals, professors and administrators of the past generations are probably mad at you.
Xie Lin just thought about these words in his heart and did not say them out loud.
Xie Lin said: "But, I always thought that you were a mischievous monster, an emotional aggregation of mischief and destructive desires, a being like a Boggart or a patron saint? Why did you suddenly become a magical creature again? "
"Hahaha," Peeves laughed, "Boggarts? Patronuses? Can they talk? Do they have thoughts? They-" Peeves rarely became serious for a moment, "Can they compete with the great Peeves?" Is it comparable to Skin Ghost?"
"When I was born from chaos, I was really just an aggregation of emotions. I was ignorant. I didn't know where I came from or where I was going..." Peeves showed a look of recollection. , "Later, the old man appeared, and it was he who used some means to gather my sanity for me, and this created the smart, great, and humorous Peeves!"
Xie Lin suddenly thought of Dementors. As aggregation of desperate emotions, Dementors are also intelligent. Although they cannot speak, they can follow the instructions of the Ministry of Magic and Voldemort. Could it be that Dementors are actually some kind of Magical creation under magic?
If so, if I mastered this magic, wouldn't I be able to give wisdom to Boggarts, vampire bears, and even guardian spirits?
Well, it seems that this idea is worthy of being included in the scope of my own research.
Peeves continued: "After the old man left Hogwarts, he often came back as a student to visit Peeves and tell Peeves jokes..." It sighed, "Then, one day, When the old man came to see Peeves, his expression seemed to be very wrong... When he left, he said that he had a destined enemy that he had to face, and that he might never come back..."
This was the first time Sherrin saw a sad expression on Peeves, even though there was only a hint of sadness.
Peeves continued: "Let's get back to the topic! Before the old man left for the last time, he made Peeves a door key - as long as someone who meets certain conditions touches me, he can be teleported into his The secret room contains his inheritance - but, he said - only troublemakers recognized by me can be qualified to inherit. In the past many years, there has been no character who can catch my eye, well, Gran The Fendo twins are not bad, but you, you are not a troublemaker!"
Seeing the sudden dangerous look in Xie Lin's eyes, Peeves understood that he was in a man-made situation, and then said with a hypocritical smile on his face: "Of course, the great Mr. Malfoy, you have passed The old man's test, the person who was awarded his medal, you are naturally qualified to enter the secret room, come on! Touch me! As long as you touch me, I can activate the Portkey Spell on your body and send you to the secret room. "
Xie Lin sneered, "Do you know the consequences of lying to me?"
Before Peeves could answer, Schelling's wand shot a dark gray strange skull towards the corner of the wall, making a terrifying whistling sound. Although this spell was not aimed at Peeves, Peeves' whole body was covered with blood. I still feel a strong sense of crisis, and I am sure that this spell contains soul magic that can cause harm to ghosts or monsters!
It swallowed its saliva. It had been running rampant in Hogwarts for many years, and it knew very well who it could provoke and who it couldn't - obviously Sherrin belonged to the latter.
Peeves showed a forced smile and said: "How is this possible? Peeves would never dare to deceive the great Lord Malfoy. Please give Merlin's medal now - not the one from the Ministry of Magic, but the one issued by Hogwarts." That special medal - put it on, it is the key to the correct entrance to the chamber. Come on! I will definitely send you to the real chamber!"
If Xie Lin realized something, it seemed that when he went through Merlin's test, Merlin's memory once said that it was a trial. At that time, the contestants thought it was some kind of misunderstanding, because the school's statement clearly stated that it was just an intra-school competition.
Now he finally understood that Merlin's special medal actually had a special purpose - it was the key to Merlin's secret chamber.
Sure enough, as Schelling expected, Peeves has the ability to play tricks on the process - it can send people to a real secret room, or it can send people to a false secret room that may be dangerous.
Fortunately, Xie Lin had a few tricks up his sleeve, otherwise he might have been tricked by Peeves.
Xie Lin put on the medal, touched Peeves, and with a "whoosh" sound, one person and one spirit monster were teleported into a secret room that he had never seen before.
The light in the secret room was dim, Xie Lin raised his wand and cast a "fluorescence flash", and at the same time opened the magic eye.
"Okay, my mission is accomplished!" Peeves happily danced an unknown dance and said somewhat maliciously: "Mr. Malfoy, I wish you good luck next time, I doubt you will It takes a lot…”
After saying that, Peeves suddenly disappeared without waiting for Sherlin to ask questions. It did not pass through the wall, but disappeared directly into the void, as if some force had reversed the Portkey spell on it.
There was nothing to explore in the secret room, it was full of dust and dead insects.
There is a crystal ball on the round table in the center. The crystal ball exudes obscure magic fluctuations, and there are four ancient rune magic symbols looming inside.
Schelling came closer and looked closely.
Four magic symbols stand at the four corners, corresponding to each other.
In ancient magic literature, once more than one magic talisman appears, the interpretation of the magic talisman becomes much more complicated, because each magic talisman usually represents more than one meaning, just like the polyphonic and polysemous words in modern languages.
When two magic symbols appear at the same time, the spell-breaker must not only rule out other meanings in the magic symbols and understand what the two magic symbols represent here, but also understand what the arrangement of the two magic symbols represents. meaning.
The four magic talismans, especially arranged with four opposite corners, are undoubtedly the most difficult situation to interpret. There are too many interpretation combinations that can be formed here.
The first talisman is hamr, which means "shape".
The second magic talisman is hugr, which means "thinking".
The third magic talisman is fylgia, which means "spirit".
The fourth magic talisman is hamingja, which means "sex".
Schelling fell into deep thought.
Shape refers to the body, appearance, and state; Si refers to thoughts, ideas, and inspirations; Ling refers to the induction and spiritual awareness in the dark, and it can also be said to be destiny; Xing contains a wide range of meanings. It is talking about personality traits in a broad sense, including wisdom, strength, experience, technology, bloodline, and even willpower, mental strength, endurance, luck, etc.
An idea flashed in Xie Lin's mind.
Could it be...
Could it be that you are talking about "the true self"?
Schelling thought of the "three-in-one" theory. Isn't the essence of life the body, the spirit and the soul?
No matter how broad the meaning of these four magic symbols is, they cannot escape the scope of the essence of life.
Now that you understand this, so what? What to do next?
Schelling was once again at a loss.
Could these four magic talismans represent a Guruni magic that needs to be performed to break this level?
If so, is the difficulty too high?
Xie Lin has only fully mastered the "Guardian" magic talisman at present. As for the other "Fairy Holy Fire" and "Ice", he can only have preliminary mastery at best.
It is already so difficult to cast a spell with a single rune, and it is absolutely impossible for him to directly cast a spell with four runes across several levels at once.
Xie Lin thought about it and could only think of the last move.
He took out a bottle filled with golden liquid from his arms. Yes, he planned to take a sip of the Elixir of Fortune.
After drinking the Elixir of Fortune, he found that his way of thinking just now was too narrow.
He cleared his mind and allowed his thoughts to spread. He collected all kinds of inspirations, no matter how ridiculous they sounded, and analyzed them one by one.
First of all, magic levels naturally require magic to break, well, there is no doubt about this.
What was Merlin's purpose in setting up the inheritance, and what kind of successor was he looking for? Well, this is important.
Merlin's clues for selecting successors emerged in his mind one by one.
First, you must win Merlin's test competition and obtain Merlin's special medal, which means you must be an outstanding underage student with outstanding abilities in potions, transfiguration, and combat magic.
Second, one must be approved by Peeves, or one must have considerable attainments in soul magic before one can capture Peeves.
Third, you must be able to understand ancient runic characters, and you must also be able to deduce the meaning of the combination of ancient runic characters.
No, that's not right, the third point is not quite appropriate.
It should be said that interpreting the ancient runes is not the biggest problem. Many people can do it as long as they have a Guru Dictionary.
In this way, the real difficulty lies in inferring the meaning behind the combination of ancient runes, which requires an understanding of the nature of life!
Schelling smiled.
He activated the magic marks on his body, and lines and circles of curse marks appeared on his skin. He tapped hamr lightly with the wand, and the rune in the crystal ball lit up immediately.
He inspired the spiritual power in the spiritual world, his eyes flashed with a compelling light like thunder, and he lightly tapped the hugr with the wand, and the runes lit up.
He activated the soul magic with all his strength, and a violent black shadow appeared behind him. He lightly tapped Fylgia with his wand, and the runes lit up.
He concentrated on recalling the image of himself getting rid of the Imperius Curse, awakening the depths of his personality, remembering his own enlightenment, and then lightly tapped Hamingja with the wand, and the runes lit up.
At this point, all four Guruni talismans are lit and activated.
