After straightening out the power of "coercion" in his hands, a new round of many plans and calculations gradually took shape in Xie Lin's mind.
Time is getting increasingly urgent. It is now the end of March, and there are only three months left before Voldemort's resurrection. Schelling needed to make sure that every chess piece fell into the right place.
After thinking about this, Xie Lin turned his thoughts to the profound meaning of "****".
According to Xie Lin's understanding, this should be an invincible magic. Once this move is performed, all witches will return to their hearts and all demons will kneel down. So--
Why is there still a powerful enemy that Slytherin thinks he can't defeat? Even if we don't say that this is just a fantasy figure unilaterally surmised by Schelling, it is clearly written in the wizard's history books that Slytherin once competed with Gryffindor in public, and the two sides ended up tied. This battle is also the basis for why the four founders, who clearly have different ideas, can jointly build the school on an equal footing.
In this case, this magic must have limitations that Schelling does not yet fully understand. It's definitely not the kind of magic that's absolutely invincible.
The reason why I was able to have such a terrible effect on Sulf was probably because there was a master-servant contract between the two of them. As a servant, Sulf was naturally easily restrained by me.
So, what would be the effect if it faced other people?
Assuming that Schelling's conjecture about "Slytherin's powerful enemy" is correct, then speaking, this magic must be ineffective against people who are stronger than him in some aspects, and that aspect can refer to "personality strength" (i.e. Will and consciousness), it can also refer to "mental power", or even more so, "magic level".
The Imperius Curse is a good reference. The Imperius Curse and "****" are both magic that affects and even controls other people's minds. The only difference is that the Imperius Curse uses extremely strong pleasure to blind other people's reason, making others willing to be driven and become a puppet. , but the pleasure will fade over time. Sooner or later, the controlled puppet can break away from the control of the Imperius Curse. For example, Old Barty in the original book successfully did it, breaking away from Voldemort's Imperius Curse and running to Hogwarts. Report the news.
The principle of "****" is not to rely on any emotion to blind reason, but to completely distort a person's personality and change a person's cognition. Xie Lin can imagine that the recipient of this mystery will not know the fact that he is being manipulated, let alone remember his previous character and personality. It can be said that it is almost impossible to break away from the control.
But no matter what the differences between the two are, the success of the technique is based on the same premise -
You must invade the other person's spirit and soul in order to erode, influence, and transform other people's minds.
It is very difficult to do this. Even with the strength of Voldemort and Dumbledore, they cannot use Legilimency on Snape. This is why he is qualified as a double agent; Barty Crouch's strength was such that he could no longer cast the Imperius Curse on fourth grade Harry after trying it several times in class.
Based on the example of the Imperius Curse, Schelling made several inferences:
First, people with strong personality cannot be easily taken over by "****".
Second, people who have strong mental strength or are proficient in Occlumency also have a certain resistance to "****"
Third, the so-called invasion of the spirit and brain is actually achieved by using an invisible energy mixed with spiritual power and magic power. In other words, even if the opponent's mental power and personality strength are not enough to resist "****", as long as his magic power is strong enough, it is likely that the user will need to increase the expenditure when invading the mind and brain. As long as the opponent's The level of magic power is no less than his own, and he can probably consume it until his own magic power is exhausted.
On the third point, "****" is not as useful as the Imperius Curse. Because "****" consumes too much energy, the party that invades will definitely consume much more magic power than the party that simply resists. Then this point needs to be paid great attention to. If one accidentally consumes all the magic power and fails to perform the spell, then he will really have no choice but to be slaughtered.
Let’s talk about the scene in the basin at this moment.
Dobby used the elf's unique cleaning magic to start cleaning up the weeds and rocks on the ground. While casting spells, it moves by phantom, and its busy figure can be seen from all over the basin. Sulf transformed into a big snake and wandered on the ground, trying to use the snake's sense of smell and perception to search the entire basin.
Just when Xie Lin opened his eyes, a cry of surprise came from Sulf's position.
Xie Lin quickly ran to Sulf's location, and Dobby had already appeared there. It turned out that when Sulf transformed into a big snake, she found a small hole under a rock. The hole was just big enough for a giant python to get in, so Sulf got in, and found Sulf inside. A brand new mysterious crypt, he hurriedly stepped back and called people.
Schelling asked Dobby to stay there as a warning and guard. He and Sulf turned into big snakes at the same time and burrowed into the ground.
There is a cave under the ground. It is a space filled with powerful magic fluctuations. There are many protective magic arrays engraved around it, which isolates the atmosphere here from the world and prevents even half of the magic fluctuations from leaking to the outside. That's why Xie Lin used the magic eye to miss it before. This hole. And most people would not dive into a snake hole like Sulf, so this cave is extremely difficult for people to explore.
The crypt is not big, and you can see every corner at a glance.
In the center, there was a stone platform with a large turquoise bowl filled with a dark black unknown liquid.
With Xie Lin's alchemy skills, he just got closer and smelled it. Although he couldn't tell what it was specifically, it was not difficult to tell that the liquid should be a poison targeting the magic power in the wizard's body. It might not be fatal, but it could definitely make people... The kind that reduces magic power in a short period of time. Once taken, even with Dumbledore's level of magic power, he may be reduced to a level similar to that of a Muggle.
Schelling guessed that the really important thing should be hidden at the bottom of the bowl. It can only be obtained by drinking most of the poison. As for using magic to eliminate the poison, Schelling has no idea of trying. The famous Slytherin cannot make such a stupid mistake.
Huh? Why does this routine seem so familiar?
It can only be said that Voldemort is indeed the last descendant of Slytherin. Are their thoughts and practices so similar?
In fact, when Xie Lin thought about it carefully, this arrangement was actually quite reasonable. Whether it is Slytherin or Voldemort, in a sense, they are the same kind of people, people who prioritize achieving goals and results, who use unscrupulous means, and are shrewd and cunning. In this way, their enemy, the person they least want the contents of the bowl to be taken away from, must be a person similar to Dumbledore and Gryffindor who value principles, speak righteousness, and preach fraternity.
This arrangement is quite effective for that kind of people, because they cannot let an innocent person take the risk of drinking poison. The benevolence and moral standards in their hearts do not allow them to do that.
But it's different when it comes to Schelling, who is also from Slytherin House.
Although Schelling values emotions and has compassion for his enemies, he is not a person who makes mistakes in such an important place.
Yes, he would never let anyone around him take this risk; yes, he would not even let Dobby, who was completely loyal to him, take this risk; he even doubted whether he had the determination to catch a Innocent muggles come and drink from this bowl of water.
However, this does not mean that there is nothing he can do.
He lifts a petrified man into a statue from the suitcase space. That was the first enemy in his life - Gallup Lestrange.
With a wave of his wand, he lifted Gallup's petrification. Gallup, who lost his wand, was self-aware. He knew that he was a piece of meat on the chopping board, and he had no intention of resisting at all.
This was good, as it saved Xie Lin the process of using the Imperius Curse on him.
