- #127 - Chapter 127 The Secret of the Fourth Transformation
Ian did not answer Dumbledore’s words, but looked at the centenarian with some amusement.
“So, are you scared? Or are you feeling emotional?”
“I’m not afraid anymore. I said I trust you very much, and this remains unchanged. I’m telling you this just to make you know how to be cautious about unknown things in your future exploration of magic.”
Dumbledore’s tone was unusually sincere.
Ian didn’t say anything after hearing this, but just nodded. He knew very well that this was Dumbledore’s heartfelt words. But there must be a hint behind it, but he knew that asking was in vain. Dumbledore, who calls himself the Riddler of Hogwarts, would not tell him the answer so easily.
“What about you? Books suddenly appeared in the restricted area, once by me and once by Tom. So what books did you find in the restricted area when you were in school?”
“Hahaha.” Dumbledore chuckled. “I knew you would ask this. But, unfortunately, I am not favored by the forbidden book section.”
“When I was young, I may have had some talent, but I obviously didn’t reach your level. About… I was about the same as Cedric at that time. All my achievements were mostly the result of less than smooth life experiences.”
Ian listened to Dumbledore’s answer, an understatement of ‘not so smooth life experience’. If he hadn’t known the cause and effect, he would have been deceived by Dumbledore’s words.
“Wherever there is death, there is new life; because there are regrets, we will cherish the present more. Some things are destined to disappear, but they still take root, deeply ingrained in our lives, and will be associated with us for life. Accidental Encounter, inevitable acquaintance, shared destiny…”
After Ian finished speaking with some emotion, he stopped speaking. He thought of many things, including various experiences in his previous life.
In this small principal’s office, silence has become the main theme at this moment.
He discovered a very miraculous thing, and he didn’t know if it was Dumbledore’s deliberate order. Every time he came to the principal’s office, the previous principals in the portraits were closing their eyes and concentrating.
These portraits never make a sound, let alone interrupt in the middle of the conversation. They are really like Muggle portraits, staying motionless and quiet in the frame.
…
A long time passed, and suddenly a voice broke the silence here.
“I’m obviously here to borrow a book from you…” Ian muttered unconsciously.
But in this quiet room, it seemed extremely clear. These words were like a signal that brought Dumbledore back to his senses.
“Of course I agree. You can read these two books, which means Hogwarts recognizes you.” Dumbledore said happily.
Then he looked at Ian with a somewhat relieved expression. “Actually, even if you don’t tell me and take these two books out by yourself, I won’t be able to discover them. But they still won’t belong to you. They will return to Hogwarts on their own when you don’t need them.”
“As long as you agree. I don’t want to do anything without asking.” Seeing that his goal was achieved, he was ready to leave.
Dumbledore looked at Ian with some surprise as he was about to get up and leave. “I thought you would ask about the magic on Harry, but now it seems you are no longer interested?”
“It’s not that I’m not interested anymore, but I want to understand it. Alchemy has clearly told us the principle of equivalent exchange. Everything has its price. The more powerful the magic or alchemy, the higher the corresponding price. Hair is heavy.”
This was what Ian was thinking, and he told Dumbledore straightforwardly.
Facing Ian’s answer, Dumbledore just nodded and continued: “Death is a great adventure. Magic at the cost of the soul is essentially interfering with the normal rules and making this adventure return to normal.” It dies before it even begins. In a way, Tom’s calling it evil is part of it.”
Speaking of this, Dumbledore looked directly into Ian’s eyes, his expression rare and serious.
“Seeing the changes in you this time, I know that you have reached the end of modern wizards. Tom is like this, I used to be like this, and he is also like this…”
When Dumbledore mentioned ‘him’, his eyes were a little dazed, but only for a fleeting moment.
“You should be very clear after going through this. The second transformation comes from the spirit, the third transformation comes from the blood. And the fourth transformation comes from… the soul.”
Hearing this answer, Ian was thoughtful.
Indeed, like Dumbledore, his second awakening was when he took a walk outside the castle and put down the burden on his soul before he got the opportunity to awaken. The third time was after taking Phoenix’s blood potion, and then… under the double stimulation, the transformation was completed.
Dumbledore looked at the pensive Ian and stopped talking, leaving him plenty of time to think.
After a long time, Ian asked with some confusion: “Shouldn’t the essence of a wizard’s power just be blood?”
Dumbledore always appeared to be very patient with questions from his juniors. “Yes, it comes from blood, but it is bound by blood. Will any of the known 5X magical animals still pose a threat to you?”
“Actually, when you reach your current height, the power of your bloodline has almost been fully developed. What’s left is a transformation of your soul, otherwise you will never be able to break the shackles of your bloodline.”
Speaking of this, Dumbledore glanced at Ian blankly. “I tell you this not to ask you to blindly pursue power now, but to hope that wizards will have enough power when they need power.”
“Muggles have changed so much in recent years… I don’t know if what I did was right. I just don’t want to see innocent sacrifices. But… I don’t want to see a new round of witch-hunting movement, let alone those who once did it.” Darkness repeats itself.”
Ian found out clearly that Dumbledore was also frightened by the development of technology, which made the centenarian man a little confused.
Ian immediately said bluntly: “This is the biggest gap between you and ‘him’. You always want everything to be perfect, but human nature will never be satisfied with the current perfection. They need more things to whitewash their hearts.” Perfect’, living in peace? Without threats from the outside, humans will always fight among themselves, whether it’s Muggles or wizards.”
To be honest, at this point, he really looked down on Dumbledore’s approach. She was just a little girl’s wishful thinking. He wanted everything to go well, but in the end nothing would go well.
Instead, he had some appreciation for Gellert Grindelwald, who did the right thing at the best time, but… ultimately lost to his love.
Seeing Dumbledore’s increasingly tired expression, he could only continue: “Actually, I probably know what you are thinking. Besides, this is also my home, and there are some things that I will not avoid.”
After getting a positive reply from Ian, Dumbledore took out two more books from the drawer and placed them in front of him, both of which were precious manuscripts.
“Soul” and “Flame” are two books bound with the same parchment, but they give people completely different feelings.
The former gives people a soft and gentle feeling just by seeing the name and font. The latter is extremely aggressive, like a burning flame, burning everything.
He knew the authors of these two books without having to guess, but he was a little surprised that Dumbledore still kept them.
