Chapter 410 Time Closed Loop! The Mystery Of Ariana's Life And Death!
Harry stayed in the dormitory and continued to comfort his good friend Ronald.
Lupine also returned to his office.
As for Blake, he had no choice but to follow Dumbledore back to the principal's office.
As soon as he returned to the principal's office, Dumbledore couldn't wait to grab Blake's arm and asked seriously:
"What price did you pay for that magic you used?"
"Will it cause any side effects?"
Blake felt the strength of the big hand on his arm, and felt a little moved in his heart.
Dumbledore was indeed worried about his health.
"I did pay some price, but not as much as they thought."
To Dumbledore, Blake could tell the truth.
"I acquiesce to their idea that I have to pay a heavy price, and I just don't want them to come to me to summon the ghosts of my old friends in the future."
"Always disturbing the dead is not a good thing."
"And...the more I see the deceased, the more painful I feel."
"Because it is impossible for the dead to be resurrected. Seeing but not touching can only make the living suffer even more. y
"Maybe even crazy... In the story, wasn't the person who took the Death Resurrection Stone crazy like this?"
After hearing Blake's explanation, Dumbledore couldn't help but nodded.
"You have done so much, Blake. Those who have passed away are gone. Only by letting go can we move forward."
"Well...then what is the not-so-big price you mentioned?"
Blake took out two raw chickens from his pocket.
Probably... a meal?"
Two raw chickens are roasted, which is enough for Blake, a big eater...
"That's it?" Dumbledore looked at the two raw chickens in front of him in shock.
He found that one of the legs of one of the chickens had turned gray.
"Well...it only needs to consume the life force of the sacrifice."
Blake reached out and poked the gray drumstick of the raw chicken with his finger.
The next second, the chicken leg turned into fly ash...
This raw chicken was just added.
However, not long after they were put in, Lily and the others went back.
Therefore, it only consumes the vitality of a chicken leg.
"No harm to your own body, that's fine." Dumbledore breathed a long sigh of relief.
He looked at Blake in front of him, feeling a little embarrassed.
There always seems to be a layer of mystery surrounding Blake.
It makes it impossible for people to see his reality clearly...
It's like this outrageous magic, which comes suddenly and just as soon as you say it.
This is really difficult to understand with common sense.
But the facts are before you again.
He just suddenly learned this kind of magic, no one taught him
This feeling is magical
"Professor, there's nothing wrong with that. I'll leave first."
Blake has made it clear that he doesn't have to pay a price on his health.
Therefore, naturally there is no need to go to Dean Bohan for a physical check-up.
Of course I wanted to leave.
He still has to rush to find Peter and put some black magic on him.
"You...wait." Dumbledore looked at the raw chicken in Blake's hand, "It seems you have a few more raw chickens?"
"Um...Yeah..." Blake stuffed the raw chicken into his pocket a little embarrassed.
After all, it's what he got from the kitchen.
Strictly speaking, this is the property of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore laughed angrily at his little gesture.
"Okay, I won't blame you for getting a few more chickens, the school doesn't have such a small amount of funds.
"I just want to say... can you do me a favor?"
Dumbledore's face looked a little worried.
Blake's expression froze, "You want me to summon Aunt Ariana, right?"
"Well...I...Although I know I should let it go, but...I still want to tell her..."
"...Say sorry..."
"Only in this way can I really let go.
Dumbledore had a sad look on his face.
"Sorry, Professor, I might not be able to do it." Blake said.
"Huh? Why? Could it be that she has been away for too long and you can't summon her?" Dumbledore asked anxiously.
"That's not the case. As long as she dies and doesn't become a ghost wandering around the world, then I can summon her back from the world of the dead." Blake shook his head and said
"Then why can't you summon?" Dumbledore asked.
"In fact, when I first got this ability, the first undead I tried to summon was the undead of Aunt Ariana.
"But...I have tried many times without success."
"It's as if...Aunt Ariana is not in the world of the dead."
Blake raised his eyes to peek at Dumbledore.
"Not in the world of the dead? Does that mean..."
There was a bit of shock, a bit of anticipation, and a bit of joy on Dumbledore's face...
Well, the graph is gone.
"Yes...or she became a ghost and is still wandering in the world."
"Either her soul was completely torn apart by your spell, so much so that she dissipated before entering the world of the dead.
Blake analyzed carefully.
When Dumbledore heard the second sentence, his hands suddenly trembled and he grasped his sleeves.
The muscles on his face were also trembling.
Blake could clearly see an emotion called panic on his face.
This was an expression that Dumbledore had never seen before.
After a while, Dumbledore's expression returned to normal.
"No...it's impossible. I remember that day very clearly. Although our spells at that time were considered fatal, there was no such spell that could tear apart the soul.
"Well...then there is a third possibility. Of course, the possibility of this possibility is very small."
"That means Aunt Ariana is not dead."
Blake's voice just finished
"Ding! Huge surprise emotion detected!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a diamond treasure chest!"
Huh! An unexpected gain!
Blake was pleasantly surprised.
"Are you telling the truth? How likely is that?"
Dumbledore couldn't help but grab Blake's arm again.
Fortunately, Blake's physical body has been strengthened now.
Otherwise, it would be really hard to bear Dumbledore's power.
Blake admired in his heart.
Good guy, he is indeed the most powerful wizard in this century.
The strength of this physical body is not low at all!
No wonder his magic power is much higher than others!
"It depends on your specific situation at the time..."
"If you remember correctly, no soul-damaging spells were used."
"If she dies, she will definitely be called by the God of Death, take a step forward and go to the world of the dead, or take a step back and stay in the world and become a ghost.
"I personally don't think she would choose to become a ghost."
"Because if she becomes a ghost, there is no way she will not come to you. She will never wander alone in this world."
The ghosts in this world are actually people with obsessions.
It occurs when you are unwilling to go to the world of the dead after death.
After it occurs, you will be crazy to fulfill your obsession during your lifetime.
Myrtle, for example.
Because at that time, Olive Humbey mocked her appearance.
She hid in the bathroom and cried.
Immediately afterwards, she encountered a basilisk there and died tragically...
So, after she became a ghost, she wandered around Olive Humbey all day long.
It was fun to scare Olive Humbe every day.
It gave Olive Humbe a nervous breakdown.
Because, in the final analysis, the root cause of her death was Olive Humbe's ridicule.
In the same way, if Ariana became obsessed and became a ghost because she died at the hands of Dumbledore or Grindelwald.
We will definitely find them.
Now, Dumbledore had never seen Ariana's ghost at all.
Grindelwald didn't mention it either.
Therefore, the possibility that Ariana turned into a ghost can basically be ruled out.
"After eliminating all possibilities, the remaining possibility... no matter how incredible it is, can only be a fact."
"Professor, how did you confirm that Aunt Ariana was dead?"
"How did you place her body?"
I heard Blake ask about what happened back then.
A pained expression flashed across Dumbledore's face.
To recall that time is like reopening an old bloody scar, painful and cruel.
"After we discovered that we didn't know whose spell hit Ariana..."
"Grindelwald ran away."
"Aberforth and I went to check on Ariana..."
"Then...then...she stopped breathing...and her body kept getting colder..."
Dumbledore closed his eyes, painful tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
His body was trembling, as if he had returned to that tragic morning.
His hand was holding something, just like he was holding Ariana's body that was gradually getting colder...
"Then what?" Blake had to continue asking.
Because what happens next is the key
"Next, Aberforth fell out with me..."
Dumbledore couldn't help but touch the bridge of his twisted nose.
“He knocked me down with a fierce punch, and then he hugged Ariana’s body and left Godric Valley.
Blake's eyes flickered and he continued to ask: "What happens next? Have you never seen Ariana's body again?"
"Actually...Although Aberforth doesn't want to see me again,......in fact, I have been following him."
Dumbledore said mockingly: "At that time, I was considered to have outstanding abilities. Alforth didn't notice that I was following him at all."
"I just saw him get a coffin and put Ariana in it..."
Blake asked: "So, you saw Aunt Ariana being buried by Uncle Aberforth?"
"Hmm..." Dumbledore nodded.
Blake hesitated before saying cautiously: "If that's the case...then there is only one way to verify whether Ariana is alive.
"What method?" Dumbledore had not yet recovered from the sadness of the memory.
"Of course you remember...where is Aunt Ariana's grave?" Blake asked carefully.
"You...you mean to dig up Ariana's grave?"
Dumbledore was in a very unstable mood right now.
"No...no! If she has actually...then if I dig up her grave..." Dumbledore was extremely confused.
On the one hand, he really wanted to verify whether Ariana was dead.
On the other hand, he is afraid of Alian
Ariana really died, and then her actions desecrated Ariana.
0....0
"No digging required, Professor." Blake shook his head.
"As long as you take me there, I can know what's going on inside without digging the tomb.
Blake has the Eye of Truth. As long as he reaches the tomb, he can see directly through the thick layer of soil and see whether there is a corpse in the coffin.
Even if he doesn't use the Eye of Truth, he can still use alchemy to make some detection equipment to detect the situation underground.
The principle is the same as the detection equipment he allocated to the fourth natural disaster.
Dumbledore had finally come to his senses at this time.
He looked at Blake and suddenly thought of something.
"Do you think, Ariana, that maybe your future self went back to the past?"
"I do doubt this, because I will definitely conduct a time travel in the future!"
"Who knows how many times and spaces I have traveled to?"
"So, I have to go and see." Blake said firmly.
"It is indeed possible!"
Dumbledore's voice was filled with hope.
However, after a while, he asked again worriedly: "But...if she is actually still alive, why didn't she come to me?"
Blake sighed, he felt that Dumbledore was not calm enough now.
"Because before today, you had no idea that Ariana might not be dead."
"To change the past, it must be completely consistent with the current facts."
For example, it’s like you want to go back an hour and save a deer that has been eaten by a wolf!
Then, you have to prepare another deer that is exactly the same as the one you want to save to replace it and be eaten by the wolf!
Because it is an objective fact that a deer was eaten by a wolf!
Dumbledore had no idea that Ariana might not be dead, it was an objective fact that had already happened.
It is necessary to truly close the loop between the fact that the past time has been changed and the present fact.
Then Ariana can't see Dumbledore before today!
Otherwise, it will change the fact that has already happened.
The consequences of that are unpredictable.
As for whether he will be able to see Ariana after today, that is still unknown.
Because the facts of the future have not happened yet...
Dumbledore made his decision quickly.
I need to take Blake to Ariana's grave.
"Fawkes!" Dumbledore called Fawkes directly.
"You have never been to that place, so let Fawkes take us there." Dumbledore said.
"Actually, maybe it doesn't need to be so troublesome...I just ignored this..." Blake said hesitantly.
"What did you neglect?"
"Do you have a picture or portrait of Aunt Ariana?" Blake asked.
Dumbledore couldn't help but stare.
He thought of Blake's magical teleportation magic - Dimensional Gate!
-
As long as you know the person's name and appearance, you can open the door directly to his side!
In other words, if Ariana is still alive now, as long as she has not traveled through time and space and is still in the current timeline, Blake can open the door next to her!
