Story of Longevity

The thirteenth floor underground, this place did not receive the slightest blessing from the sun. Although there is no mold and dampness due to magic, it is inevitable that people will feel some depression.

However, this did not make Xing Ke and Yi Liya feel uncomfortable.

Because, in the ancient fortress of the Hohenheim School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the lighting is inherently bad. The rooms that are not by the window are also not blessed by the sun because of the thick stone walls.

Therefore, as a student who graduated from there, and a professor who teaches there all the year round, he doesn't really care about the underground environment so much.

————

"In other words, compared to the well-lit clock tower on the ground, which is modeled on the Muggle building, it feels more familiar and kinder here."

Said a scarlet bird.

"But, are you really sure you won't... grow mushrooms?"

Xingke decided to raise his own question euphemistically.

"No, as long as you pay attention to ventilation, sanitation, and good lighting, everyone doesn't care if you are underground, or even where you are, let alone if you are growing mushrooms."

The scarlet bird then answered Xingqi's metaphorical question.

【Long mushroom】It is not really mushrooms, but refers to whether the long-term seclusion life will not cause some psychological distortions.

The people who live here originally used [fake death] to escape the world's gaze and live in seclusion under the clock tower, secretly studying magic, studying potions, and experimenting with some old bones in alchemy. Almost everyone matches the historical impression of the [old wizard] in the Muggle legend.

Such people live collectively in the underground space, living a life of a technological house without seeing the sky and being isolated from the world. It is not impossible that some [growing mushrooms (psychological distortion)] will appear.

But the scarlet bird, while understanding the metaphor of the star engraved, denied the irony of the star engraved...or the last sentence [I don't care if it has mushrooms] is the point.

"Well-refuse to adapt to the new stage of history, nor the mind to change the world, just want to do what you like underground, slowly decay, and slowly explore the reasons for living-you are laid back."

After Xingke finished speaking, he smiled disdainfully, and then took one of the snacks on the table.

"The outside world is very peaceful now, and we no longer need the old-fashioned relics of the last century of ours. In order not to support the children's hind legs, pick up some small ideas they overlooked in the corner and study it-interesting and ok. It’s great to leave some anonymous research for future generations."

The crimson bird also detected a candy from the plate and threw it into his mouth.

"The same thing is described in your mouth, and I always feel more sad than the truth... Guise, you are still the same, although your appearance has changed."

"Well, since I came back, many people have said that." Xingke nodded, then instantly changed his face, and said with contempt:

"But I just don't want to be said by you! Old Deng! ~ Look at your bird."

It really looks like a bird. Not a metaphor.

Dumbledore became a bird...Although the species is [Phoenix] and the attribute is fire, he is still a bird, so don't dispute it.

————

Albus? Percival? Woolfrick? Brian? Dumbledore—his life has many reputations, so let's forget them all.

Simply put, he is not a simple person.

I have seen the star carvings of the "Harry Series" and vaguely remember that Dumbledore used the fire magic [Blast] and [Flame Bear] to raise the phoenix named Fox, and the patron saint of the guardian is also a phoenix. ...

It's just that Xingke didn't expect that this old man really made himself a phoenix in the end.

"Something went wrong while doing the transfiguration experiment, and I can't change it back now." To put it lightly, Dumbledore said why he was like a bird.

He never said whether he would live forever like a phoenix (pseudo), but he did not hide that he can now use the tips of wings and chicken claws to perform magic without using a wand.

Then, the old boy said to Xingke very rudely:

"I thought you would never come back.

Compared with the decline of magic, wizards have to integrate Muggle technology to find another way out. You should have found another world where magic is prosperous. "

Is this guy trying to drive me away?

"It's nothing, just come back and have a look... I heard that you are not dead, Lao Deng, I'll come and have a look."

Dumbledore was almost one hundred and fifty years old, and he was the oldest of the existing wizards. Originally it was an age that was not strange whenever he died and went to bed, Xingke also came to take a look with the thought of seeing it for the last time.

However, he did not expect that Dumbledore would have survived this way.

"It seems that you won't die for the time being, then am I coming back for nothing?"

"Hmm...not necessarily, it's just you and me... [Pet Exchange Meeting]?"

Dumbledore's bird's head turned and saw that on the other side of the sofa, the Star Carved Sunbird and his family's Fox were exchanging something, and Ilia was sitting next to him stroking the moon rabbit.

As soon as he entered this Dumbledore's room and saw the two phoenixes, Star Carved felt the request of the Sunbird, who was living in his magic wand, to come out.

It seems that there should be a connection between the phoenix, which is about to disappear, and the elves. Xingke allowed Yanyang Bird to come out for a stroll.

By the way, Moon Rabbit was also released.

"Phoenix is ​​the closest material life existing in the world to elemental life. The hypothesis existed a long time ago about their connection with the sun. But it has never been confirmed..." Dumbledore thought thoughtfully.

"Oh? How about you? Now that you have become a phoenix, do you feel like a bird close to me?"

Hearing what Xingke said, the air in the living room was quiet for a moment~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This sentence of Xingke was very ambiguous. If he was still a boy, Illya would definitely use a paper fan. Pat him on the back, right? The evil taste in Xingqihua really makes people feel uncomfortable.

But...now she doesn't have only Yanyang bird, no other birds. So Eliya sister just gave a stark glance.

And Dumbledore also hesitated:

"I...maybe because I became a monk halfway? I didn't feel that I had any special connection with [Sun Elf]."

"...Forget it, anyway, I'm just getting started in elven research. There will always be answers to this kind of thing in the future."

And even if it is known, it has no practical significance. Dumbledore is a master of transfiguration known as Star Engraver, but seeing him successfully turned into a semi-elemental life [Phoenix] Star Engraved a sweat for him.

After all, a bad wizard [Catafels] who wants to become an elf is his fate...
