Obscure at Hogwarts

Impossible cooperation

eternal life.

It is undoubtedly a fascinating word.

According to Louis' recent understanding, whether in the modern magic system or the old magic system, there are issues about immortality in the wizarding world, which makes countless wizards willing to devote their lives to pursue and explore.

pity.

Almost all methods that can be used to achieve immortality have serious drawbacks.

For example.

Nick Flamel, the most famous alchemist in the wizarding world.

As the sole producer of the Philosopher's Stone, Nick Flamel seems to have the ability to be immortal thanks to the miraculous effects of the Philosopher's Stone. The legend of his immortality is still circulating in the wizarding world, and he himself also tells this legend. The authenticity of it still lives in seclusion in a place known to only a few people.

but

Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to make the Philosopher’s Stone, and whether the production of the first Philosopher’s Stone was a miracle. Just talk about the series of disadvantages that come with Nick Flamel’s immortality, which ordinary people cannot bear.

Therefore, if Louis wanted to live forever, he would have made the same decision as Voldemort, and would not be able to rely on the power of the Philosopher's Stone to gain eternal life.

Another example.

In the classics passed down by the Smith family to this day, there are records of how to use old magic to obtain eternal life.

Louis listed this type of method as one of the methods of pseudo-immortality, as well as the method of splitting the soul to make Horcruxes to obtain immortality.

Because, in Louis' view, the method of immortality passed down by the Smith family is body seizing without much technical content. It uses old magic to condense one's soul into a mysterious character, and achieves immortality by forcibly occupying other people's bodies.

Why is it said that this kind of immortality method is actually pseudo-immortality?

the reason is simple.

It is nothing but directly related to the consumption when occupying other people's bodies.

Every time such a method is used to invade other people's bodies to extend one's own life, the mysterious character condensed from the soul will consume part of its power.

Over time, the more times you invade other people's bodies, the more serious the consumption of your own soul becomes, and sooner or later you will be completely exhausted.

At that time.

Isn't it the moment of death?

Voldemort split his soul to make Horcruxes for immortality, which also had the disadvantage of excessive consumption of soul power. Each time he split his soul, he became weaker.

However, as the second generation of the Dark Lord, Voldemort is quite talented. His soul is strong enough to crush most wizards in the wizarding world. He also has the ability to barely recover from some soul trauma, so his pseudo-immortality can be relatively longer.

However, if Louis is really obsessed with eternal life, the above three methods that can be used for eternal life or pseudo-immortality will definitely not be among his options.

Therefore, facing the question raised by Dumbledore at this time, Louis answered very calmly: "Headmaster, I am still very young. Is the so-called immortality too early for me?"

"What about when you live to be my age?"

Although he was satisfied with Louis' previous answer, Dumbledore still asked with some persistence: "Mr. Rogers, at that time, were you willing to pay a certain price to pursue eternal life for the continuation of life?"

"This is a false proposition."

Louis said with a serious expression: "Not to mention that as a person grows up, various ideas may change at any time and at any time. No one can be sure whether his thoughts in a few decades will be the same as a few decades ago. Let’s just say that right now I really don’t have any concrete concept of eternal life.”

"Also, I must reiterate, principal, I am very young."

"Yes!"

Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Rogers, even compared to Severus, you are much younger and have a lot of time to squander."

"The vitality of youth is so good!"

After sighing, Dumbledore's mood changed obviously in Snape's eyes. Immediately, they stopped discussing the topic of immortality and walked directly into Gringotts under the guidance of Dumbledore.

Don't say it.

Dumbledore is truly a person with the Face Fruit ability in the wizarding world. He convinced the goblins of Gringotts with just a few points of face. He didn't even ask why they wanted to go to the Gringotts vault, and sent someone to take them there. Gringotts' vault.

The vault where Voldemort's Horcruxes were hidden was relatively far away, and it would inevitably take some time on the way. Dumbledore had to search the vaults one by one, so Louis naturally couldn't wait around, so he took the opportunity to use his clone to start analyzing magic.

About a few hours later.

Finally arriving at the vault that Louis was very familiar with, Dumbledore pointed to the goblin in front of him and said, "This is the right place."

The goblin who led the way nodded when he heard the words, and stepped forward to open the vault in front of them and reveal the items stored inside.

However, looking at the fire dragons guarding the outside of the vault, Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then suddenly faced Snape and said:

"Severus, if you want to sneak into the Gringotts vault secretly, can you handle the fire dragons in front of you?"

"Dumbledore, this is a very boring question."

Snape glanced at him coldly and said, "It's not difficult to deal with a few fire dragons. The difficult thing is to deal with them without attracting anyone's attention!"

As he spoke, Snape seemed to realize the key point of Dumbledore's question. His pupils narrowed sharply and he asked, "Wait, you mean someone sneaked into the vault in front of us?"

"Gentlemen, as to the question you are discussing, I would say it is impossible."

The goblin who was about to open the vault frowned and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "You know, the safest place in the entire wizarding world is our Gringotts vault. Unless it is a special guest like you, no one will." Question the security of the vault!”

"exactly."

"but"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Dumbledore couldn't help but take a deep breath and sighed: "But alas! Someone did sneak in secretly before us, and I can guess the identity of that person, it is one of my old friends. friend."

"It seems that we have fallen behind them in many things. Now we can only pray that my old friend is not willing to cooperate with others!"

Almost as soon as Dumbledore finished speaking.

"buzz"

The vault was opened successfully.

Following the direction Dumbledore and Snape were facing, Louis once again saw the Horcruxes collected by Delphi. The ring of Marvolo Gaunt was still suspended in the center of the vault.

But unlike the others around him, Louis noticed at a glance that there were a few extra traces of magic use on the Horcrux, which came from the old friend Grindelwald Dumbledore said.

There must be no surprise to Louis that he could secretly sneak into Gringotts' vault.

It's what he left behind on that Horcrux.

Ok.

Louis found it very interesting!

"Cooperation?"

"It's definitely impossible in this life!"
