Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1606 The Son Abandoned by God ([-])

Long, long ago, in a far, far away place, there lived a foolish king who thought that he alone should have the power of magic.

The king therefore ordered the chief of his army to form a witch-hunting squad, and assigned them a regiment of fierce black hounds.At the same time, he also issued an announcement in towns and villages across the country: "The king is looking for a magic teacher."

None of the real wizards dared to take the initiative to apply for the job, and they all avoided the witch-hunting squad.However, a cunning charlatan who knew no magic at all saw an opportunity to make a fortune, and he came to the palace claiming to be a skilled wizard.The charlatan performed a few simple tricks, and the foolish king, convinced that he could do magic, at once appointed him chief wizard and the king's personal master magician.

The charlatan asked the king to give him a large bag of gold, which he used to buy wands and other magical necessities.He also asked for several large rubies, which he said would be used to complete the healing spell, and a silver goblet or two, which he said would be used to preserve and brew potions.All these things the foolish king offered him.

The charlatan deposited these treasures in his own house, and returned to the palace grounds.

He did not know that an old woman who lived in a little hut on the edge of the garden was watching him.The old woman's name was Babbitty, and she was a washerwoman, responsible for washing the sheets and quilts in the palace until they were soft, white and fragrant.Peeping from behind the drying sheets, Babbitty saw that the charlatan had broken off two branches from one of the king's trees and entered the palace.

The charlatan handed the king a branch, swearing that it was a wand of great power.

"But," said the charlatan, "it won't work until you're qualified."

Every morning charlatans and foolish kings came out of the palace into the gardens, waving their wands, and shouting nonsense to the sky.The charlatan performed a few more prudent tricks, and convinced the King that he was a great wizard of great skill, and that the wand, which had cost so much gold, was indeed powerful.

One morning, while the charlatans and the king were waving their branches, and jumping around in circles, and chanting some meaningless verse, a great croak of laughter reached the king's ears.Babbitty the washerwoman, who was watching the King and the charlatan from the window of the little hut, laughed so hard that she could not stand, and soon disappeared from the window.

"I must have looked very undignified to make the old laundry woman laugh like that!" said the king. Instead of hopping and waving branches, he frowned. "I'm tired of practicing!"Magician, when shall I perform real spells before my subjects? "

The charlatan tried to reassure his student by assuring him that he would soon perform amazing feats of magic, but the charlatan did not know that Babbitty's croaking had already hurt the foolish king deeply.

"Tomorrow," said the king, "we invite all the courtiers to watch the king perform magic tricks!

The charlatan knows the time has come when he must flee with his fortune.

"Oh, it's impossible! I forgot to tell His Majesty, I have to go out tomorrow—"

"If you leave the palace without my permission, magician, my witch-hunting squad will find you with their hounds! Tomorrow morning you must assist me in performing magic for my princes and nobles; if anyone Laugh at me, and I'll cut off your head!"

The king went back to the palace in a rage, leaving the charlatan alone in a panic.All his cunning and cunning could not save him now, he could not escape, nor could he help the king with magic that neither of them knew.

To vent his fear and anger, the charlatan goes to the window of Babbitty the washerwoman...

"You don't need to tell me this fairy tale again." Severus interrupted Lyle. "Just tell me what you want to do?"

"Muggles used to covet the power of magic." Lyle said to Severus, "but when people separate the Creator from the material world, people also get rid of the causal relationship between miracles and supernatural forces such as magic. Some people Turning to seek another kind of power, immortality, vampires with low social status have become objects of worship and hunting targets, and people believe that they can become immortal vampires by drinking the blood of vampires.”

"Giovanni in danger?" Severus asked blankly.

"The last enemy that needs to be defeated is death." Lyle said, "Principal Dumbledore and I have a lot of consensus that immortality is not advisable."

Severus smiled sarcastically, "You think three or four hundred years is not long enough?"

"Have you seen the Dead Sea Scrolls?" Lyall asked.

"No." Severus said blankly.

"You should check it out, you have great talent, don't waste it."

"Are you done?"

"In the ancient books, there is no mention of where people who violate God's rules go when they die, and there is not even a place called hell." Lyle said. "When the Inquisition started killing people with heresy and witchcraft crimes, people kept silent. , despite the loss of neighbors, friends and family, they believed that if they wanted to go to heaven, they had to stay on the right side of the church."

"Wait," said Felix. "You mean..."

"If people believe they will be resurrected multiple times, then the resurrection of the Lamb is not a miracle, and the idea of ​​lay reincarnation has never been fully accepted by the Catholic Church. If they allow reincarnation as a belief, it will destroy what they have created over the years All the teachings, this is what your mentor does." Lyall ignored Felix and continued on his own.

"You believe that statement?" Severus asked.

"The world on the other side and the world on this side are like a pair of brothers, but there is one place we can't go to. That place is called the resting place."

"Where's Pomona?"

"When all the good souls and spirits in the world have been picked away, there will be no upright people on the earth, and the end of the world will become a possibility."

Severus snorted.

"There was a pair of brothers who participated in the American Civil War. One of them was good to the slaves, and the other was very bad to the slaves. But the good man in the eyes of the slaves died, and the bad one was still alive. They both secretly hoped for the other. The brothers also died, completely disregarding that this is the last remaining son of their master." Lyle said helplessly, "She should have died a long time ago, you used the forbidden technique to save her, right?"

"She's not dead." Severus said deadpan.

"Have you considered accepting his terms?"

"No!" Severus pulled Felix to Disapparate.

"Beware of dismemberment, wizard," Lyle said to Severus. "We're also curious about the resting place, and maybe Lily can tell us something."

"If you're curious, I can give you a ride now." Severus took out his wand and pointed it at Lyle, and Nadia stood in front of Lyle.

"Knowing that the forbidden fruit is not to be eaten, I still can't help but taste it. The devil always lures people to a high place, and then pushes them down. They scream in pain, but they can't die, because the soul is immortal."

"This is hell to me," Felix said.

"Then you're in it now," Lyle said with a smile.

"I'm sure to die if I fall from a height," said Felix. "You're lying to a child!"

"Don't you want to continue living your old life?" Lyle said softly, "Like a rich man's child."

Felix fell silent.

"The same goes for the famous Weasley family. If they were content with the status quo and did not participate in the Wizarding Wars, Fred Weasley would not have died. This is an unacceptable reality for his twin brothers, but they It is true that I have become richer than before, but I am not as happy as before."

"You're crazy." Severus said deadpan.

"I wish fate would set me free, as nature has set me free, but what if nature didn't set us free in the first place?" Lyell said. "Our bodies are the prisons of our souls."

"I heard another thing." Severus briefly told the old psychopath what he had just heard about the Delphi Project. "Is anyone really trying it?"

"That's right." It was Nadia who answered the question, "Someone wants to live forever in another way."

Severus was expressionless.

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the body will turn into dust one day, only the spirit and spirit will never die." Lyle said with a smile, "I think this is easy to understand."

"Tut tsk tsk." Felix shook his head, "Who are these people?"

"These people just can't accept that they are 'ordinary people'. The same material will not become a potion in their hands, no matter whether he is a king or a beggar." Lyle said calmly, "In addition, they also imagined Just like the king, only he can master the power, if a magician really applies to be his teacher, when he masters the magic, he will immediately kill everyone who knows the secret."

Severus sneered sarcastically. "It's surprising."

"It's not that human beings cannot accept inequality. If there is no clear class division between people and people, and at the same time everyone respects each other regardless of differences, it will not cause strong social envy. Mortal life is not for you, Severer Snape, the same mortal happiness is not for you, you have a greater task."

"I know the place you're talking about, the Order of the Phoenix, right?" Severus said, "Nobody discriminates against werewolves, and pure-blood nobles don't discriminate against Muggles, it's just that everyone is against me."

"No one is against you," Lyle said wearily.

"That's why I hate that place. It's like a family, but they can't complete the task independently, including Moody, who was kidnapped by a student." Severus said angrily, "In the end, the white wizard finally The one I trust is still me, why doesn’t he trust his family members?”

"Don't be angry," said Felix dryly.

"Enough is enough!" Severus raged, and Disapparated, leaving Felix where he was.

"Where did he go?" Nadia asked.

"How do I know." Felix looked at the euros in his pocket. "Do you know where the nearest bus stop is?"
