Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 179 Elements and Spirits

"Connor, I didn't expect you to come to this step?"

"? Do you know about this? You have been keeping it from me?"

"No, I don't know, I mean you finally did something like running into the girls' dormitory."

"??? I didn't take the photo, okay! I'm not that kind of person!"

In the principal's office, Dumbledore was holding a photo of Alice's room, sighing:

"Okay, I'm not kidding anymore, so you think this girl is a little bit out of shape, don't you?"

"Yes, and I don't see any problem, so I can only ask you for advice." Connor confessed that when it comes to dealing with students, Connor still believes in Dumbledore's character.

"Seeing this, I'm completely sure. Connor, you really did me a big favor." Dumbledore put the photo back on the desktop and said with a smile.

"Do you know what's going on?"

Dumbledore nodded: "It's good that you don't show your strength when you encounter something that can't be solved, and you are willing to ask others for help, Connor."

"Quickly tell me, I just want to know the truth. Alice has tortured me a lot recently." Connor waved his hand disapprovingly.

"It does concern Professor Sable."

"It's his fault!?" Connor narrowed his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of sternness in his eyes.

"No, no, it's just related to Robert's purpose of coming to Hogwarts." Dumbledore shook his head in his eyes: "On the contrary, if I guessed correctly, Alice's anomaly was caused by you."

"Huh?" Connor thought he heard it wrong: "It has something to do with me? Isn't Professor Sable's purpose looking for his holy relic? And I didn't do anything to Alice. What does this have to do with me? "

"Connor, have you read the book I gave you?" Dumbledore was not in a hurry to explain, but ate the candy leisurely.

"You mean the "On the Elements" you gave me? I've finished reading it. Does that have anything to do with this matter?"

"Young people, don't be so anxious about things~" Dumbledore smiled and ate a cockroach, looking calm.

"." Seeing that Dumbledore was so calm and that Alice was not in any danger, Connor calmed down slowly and asked, "So, can you tell me in detail? I'm curious."

"No hurry, no hurry, you can talk to me about this book first, after you finish reading, do you have any thoughts?"

Connor frowned slightly, but he still replied calmly: "That book denies the theory of the four elements with Feng Shui and Fire as the core, and believes that the world is composed of seven elements, which are fire, water, earth, scenery, and darkness."

".magic."

"To be honest, this is a very novel and bold theory, which lists magic power as the seventh element. If this book hadn't been given to me by you, I might have thrown it away. The author of this book even He didn’t even leave his name, presumably he didn’t dare to leave his name.”

Dumbledore stroked his beard and said, "Indeed, his theory has offended two major factions in our magic world at the same time, so of course he dare not leave his name."

The two major theoretical factions refer to the Four Elements faction and the Holy See's Light is the only faction. As for the magic system of the Far East, it has not been mixed in.

"So do you think the theory in this book makes sense?" Dumbledore asked with a smile.

Connor organized his language, and said slowly: "We wizards have been studying magic power for thousands of years, but we can't accurately define magic power. We wizards use magic power, but we don't even know how it comes from. Naturally, I dare not define magic power.”

"But I also think it is biased to directly classify magic power and elements into one category. In my eyes, magic power is more like a catalyst. It is a lever for us wizards to leverage the extraordinary world. It is more like a It is a [Trait] possessed by wizards, rather than an [Element] necessary to make up the world."

"Well, your understanding of the nature of the world is already very deep, it seems that you are indeed studying hard~" Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction.

"." After all, Connor came from a world without magic, of course he would not agree that magic power is one of the basic elements that make up the world.

In fact, if possible, he would prefer to believe that the world is composed of elements on the periodic table, rather than these ghostly magic elements.

"Actually, what do you think if we change the main premise of the theory of elements and change the elements that make up the world into the elements that make up the magic world?"

Connor was stunned. He seemed to understand what Dumbledore meant. In fact, whether it was the element of fire or the element of light, to wizards, these elements were all things that could be seen and touched.

In the world of wizards, these are the [elements] that they can feel and control. If we analyze it from this perspective, isn't magic power also such a [element]?

Connor seemed to understand something, but it was vague and unclear.

Dumbledore interrupted Connor's thoughts rudely: "Don't think too much, and don't want to come to a conclusion so quickly, Connor, what is the essence of the world, it is worth our lifetime to explore truth…"

"Connor, since you have read The Theory of Elements, you should know that magic power is a very magical thing, and it can react wonderfully with any element."

Dumbledore opened his ten fingers, shook his fingertips relative to each other, and made a "very wonderful" gesture, then he pointed to his head and said:
"Magic can even react wonderfully to our emotions. Then some amazing magical creatures are born. I think...you should know what I mean."

Connor froze for a moment, then had a flash of inspiration: "You mean Peeves?"

Dumbledore nodded with a smile: "It's not called Peeves now, we should call him Pepa, hehehe, Connor, you did a good job, I should give you extra points."

"Then please be sure to give me extra points. I still want to win the Academy Cup this semester." Connor rolled his eyes, not quite understanding why Dumbledore suddenly mentioned Peeves: "So Peeves and Alice Does it matter? Professor Dumbledore, please stop teasing me."

"Don't worry, I'm about to say it." Dumbledore stroked his beard again, and said in an exclamation tone: "Magic power can react with emotions, and emotions are the language of the soul. The magical creatures with souls that are born, we call them elves..."

"Born from excitement, a spirit that feeds on solitude, we call it a boisterous ghost."

"Born from despair and feeding on hope, we call it Soul Eater."

Dumbledore looked at Connor through the half-moon-shaped eyes: "Then please tell me, Connor, what should we call an elf born from joy and hope, and feed on pain and despair?"

Connor was stunned, all kinds of thoughts in his mind were disturbing, as if he had thought of something, and Dumbledore over there had already announced the answer:
"We call it [Angel]."

"That is the authority that the Holy See has lost."

"It's the holy relic that Professor Sable is looking for."

"It's also the real reason for all Alice's abnormal behavior."
