Simodox mages at Hogwarts

The other party's attitude was very friendly and he decided to raise the issue.

If the other party hides and refuses to answer, you may need to be careful.

However, the answer was beyond Rai's expectation.

"I'm going to die." Li Dan smiled, as if he was saying something normal.

For a dying old man, "death" is often a word like a devil, but Li Dan doesn't seem to shy away from this terrible word.

Li Dan said: "To be precise, it cannot be regarded as complete death. It depends on how you view death."

He touched his beard, picked a leaf from a nearby tree, and threw it into the soil.

He continued: "Death is a topic that can never be avoided. No one can escape it. Let me ask you a question. Do you think that the people in the portraits at Hogwarts are already dead?"

Ley began to think, in fact, on the Simoda star, there are many ways to extend life.

Especially for the Supreme Mages, the failure of body functions is no longer a problem. Therefore, the definition of death on Simodak is different from that on Earth.

On Earth, when the human brain stops working, it is brain death, which means a person's true death.

On Simodak, the definition of death is as follows: Death refers to the loss of activity of an individual's soul.

The soul becomes inactive, that is, the soul dies.

There are many ways for the soul to die, which can be divided into three main types.

The first type is when the life span of the soul is exhausted.

Like the human body, the soul also has a lifespan, and it also ages. However, the soul does not continue to weaken as it continues to age. On the contrary, under normal circumstances, as the soul ages, its strength decreases. will continue to strengthen.

Generally, the lifespan of the soul is much longer than that of the body.

The second type is damage to the soul container.

There are many containers of souls, the most common of which is people’s bodies.

Of course, it can also be other intelligent creatures and non-living things.

When a soul container is damaged, such as when the human body's lifespan is exhausted, or a person is killed, the soul will die because it is not strong enough to exist for too long without a container.

Therefore, many supreme mages of Simodar Nemesis, as well as some capable senior mages, will perform soul transformation.

They transfer their souls to some long-lived intelligent beings, or simply transfer them to mechanical puppets that have performed soul magic.

In this way, the life of the soul container is extended.

The third type is the accidental death of the soul.

Like the human body, the soul can also be killed.

Soul magic that can traumatize the soul, as well as various super-magical phenomena and super-magical areas that cannot be explained by the magic level of West Modak, may cause the death of the soul.

In fact, as for the magic and academic research on the soul, Ximodak is still in the process of continuous exploration so far, and has not formed a large-scale research that can really get to the bottom of it and provide a systematic explanation for most soul phenomena. system.

At present, there are only a few branches of schools, forming some fragmented systems. Of course, Lai is not sure about more.

More soul magic, similar to that in the earth's wizarding world, comes from the ancient magic of empirical nature that has been passed down from ancient times to the present.

At this moment, Li Dan asked him if the characters in the painting like the Fat Lady had died. The answer was obvious. Since they could still think, communicate, and have emotions, their souls naturally existed.

According to Rai's knowledge system of Simodak, it's just that their souls were put into another soul container.

"I don't think so. After all, they can still think, communicate, and have emotions. This is a symbol of their survival." Ley replied.

Naturally, it is impossible for him to tell all the thoughts he just had about the soul, because the source of this knowledge cannot be explained.

Li Dan showed a satisfied look, as if to say: Children can be taught.

He touched his white beard and said: "You can say that, which proves that you have some thoughts about death. Indeed, they do not really die. To be more precise, some are not dead, and some are already dead." .

Like the Fat Woman, there is no doubt that they have obviously not lost their lives, but like some paintings where there are many characters, they are not necessarily alive.

They can also move and speak. After you enter the canvas, you will see that they are no different from normal creatures. However, you will find that they can only speak a few simple words and have no ability to think. They can act only because They were painted as intelligent beings, that's all. "

As he spoke, Li Dan patted the tree beside him, picked off a leaf, and threw it on the ground.

"It's painted like a tree, so it has leaves and can even be picked off."

Suddenly, Li Dan's body became unreal.

He knew that there was not much time left for him.

After chatting with Rai for a while, he was close to his limit, and he was about to fall into a deep sleep from which he could hardly wake up.

There was no time to think about it and a choice had to be made as soon as possible.

Li Dan thought for a while and sighed in his heart, hoping that his father's prediction was right.

He seemed to have made some kind of decision, and his whole body suddenly transformed into a gust of wind and went deep into the forest. His last message came from the wind.

"From now on, you have become the master of the forest in the original painting world, the master of the staff immortal. I hope you can call the depths of the painting world..."

Rai suddenly woke up.

The strong wind that fought against the old wizard was basically made of Li Dan.

He silently remembered this old man in his heart.

There is no way I can repay you for saving my life. I will protect this painting.

but......

Hey, how do you get out of the painting world now?

As soon as Ley came up with this idea, the world in the painting changed just like he had just entered, except that this time it changed from real and three-dimensional to like an oil painting.

The forest of oil paintings in his sight gradually rotated and twisted.

When his vision returned, Rai appeared at the corner of the path again.

The corner of the path has returned to its original state

There was no body of Professor Quirrell, no blood, no white thread, and no trace of lightning. Everything was as usual. Only the sun that had moved a little in the sky could prove that what just happened was not a dream.

Rye walked to the tree beside the road where he and Professor Quirrell had fought.

The symbol of the Ximoda Nemesis Mage Society under the tree is still intact.

For some reason, Rai suddenly raised his head unconsciously.

On the tree, an oil painting measuring 10 inches by 10 inches was hanging on a branch.

The wind seems to be blowing in the painting, and the trees in the forest are swaying, and the green leaves fluttering in the wind are like green waves.

Rai seemed to see Li Dan again in the green waves.

He carefully took off the painting, put it into his cloak, and then walked along the path to Hogsmeade.

Rai still doesn’t know what it means to become the Lord of the Oil Painting Forest.

It's good luck,

Or,

is dangerous.
