A certain Hogwarts esoteric leader

"That's not entirely true." The one who spoke was the wizard scholar.

"How can you call it despicable?" he said, "This is a legitimate pursuit."

"How can this be called a legitimate pursuit?" Connie retorted, "Approaching the one you love with a disguised appearance is like a hunter wearing sheepskin and disguised to catch wild sheep. Is love a thing?" Is it hunting? How can a pursuit initiated with a hunting heart be called legitimate love?"

She spoke plausibly, as if she were an expert in this field.

However, the wizard scholar laughed loudly: "Your Highness, you have never been in love."

He likes to use honorifics when he is sarcastic, which makes the person involved feel particularly good. Moreover, these words immediately hit Connie's weakness and pain point. She has indeed never been in love. Part of the reason why she ran away is because of her love for love. I have high expectations and never want to get married politically before I have tasted the taste of love.

What she thought at that time was that if she met the right person, she would travel to the ends of the earth. However, now, because of the situation in Europe, she had made up her mind to go back.

Thinking of this, Connie couldn't help but feel sad, and tears overflowed unconsciously like spring rain filling a water tank, but she wiped it away casually as if there was sand in her eyes.

How can you make others feel pitiful!

Then she said sarcastically: "Yes, I have never been in love, and I will soon devote myself to the general trend of the world. Is this a blessing or a misfortune?"

"It's a blessing." Ignoring Connie's glare, the wizard scholar said, "Love will only make people bruised and bruised, especially with your status. In today's troubled times, if you want to fall in love freely, I'm afraid you will talk about the other party. The family is ruined."

"You-" Connie was suddenly so angry that she couldn't speak.

The wizard scholar continued: "Moreover, if you knew the pain of love, you would not pursue it. There is a saying used to describe people who fall in love, it is called falling in love, which shows its drowning nature, and love is the easiest to change people. , People who are in love are burned by the flame of love until their hearts are burnt to black coals, and there are many people who hate each other because of love. This is what is called loving and killing each other."

He refuted it wildly: "The reason for this is that love is not driven by happiness, but by pain. In order to avoid this pain, you can only find ways to get the other person and fly like this to relieve it. In this case , no matter what method is used, as long as the cart is not put before the horse, then the heart of love comes first, and the means of hunting come later, for example - "

He paused and said: "Just like if you want to eat meat and vegetables, you have to kill a pig, but your original intention is to eat vegetables, not to kill. Put it this way, you should understand."

Connie was speechless. In terms of eloquence, she couldn't speak seven more words than the wizard scholar. This guy simply had a very good tongue.

Moreover, although I was annoyed, if I thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case. I just didn't know why, but I still felt unwilling for no reason.

But the therapist on the side suddenly said: "So, what should we do after we get the pursuit? The disguise will eventually be removed, just like the potion will eventually work according to its original properties. It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change the nature. shift."

Gu Yu</span> I heard a wizard scholar say: "Human beings are more complicated than potions. The reason for this is that when making a certain potion, the most basic goal of the pharmacist is to maintain the nature of the potion. , otherwise, just make other medicines, right?"

The therapist nodded, thoughtfully: "Indeed. But what are the differences between people?"

Wizard scholars said: "The complexity of people lies in making falsehoods come true."

"Making a lie come true?" the therapist asked, "What is it?"

The wizard scholar said: "Am I the same person at this second as I was at the previous second and at the next second?"

"Are you talking about the Ship of Theseus?" The therapist frowned.

"Yes." said the wizard scholar, "Since you know, I won't go into details. In short, as time goes by, there will be changes in which the new self gradually replaces the old self. We will not discuss which self It’s really me. There are so many meaningless questions about why I don’t suffer from hysteria. I just want to say, how does this process happen in people?”

He said: "In the body, it is metabolism, food is excreted, the essence is absorbed, and the residue is excreted. But in human nature, it is giving and getting, pursuing something, paying the price, if everything goes well If it goes well, you will get results, and if it doesn't go well, you will learn a lesson. This kind of giving and receiving is real, so it is possible to change your nature. This is natural, and it is also what distinguishes intelligent creatures like humans from other animals. . Today’s morals and concepts are all obtained in this way, even magic is the same.”

He smiled and said: "And love happens to be the emotion that can best arouse giving and receiving. Nothing can cause turmoil more than love. War in history is often caused by love. In a love, you fall into People in love will give like crazy, which is rare in any other relationship. Naturally, there are also failures and successes. Failure is not mentioned, there is only regret. Once you succeed, you will strengthen yourself in the relationship. What you do when you are in love is recognized in your heart. People will recognize those behaviors that can make them successful. No matter what the disguise is, as long as they are recognized in their heart, they will become what they are now. This is how love can make people move forward. principle."

"It's like," he continued, adding an analogy, "just like chasing a wild deer in the direction of Rome. When chasing the wild deer, people unknowingly arrived in Rome. Unknowingly, During this period, people's situation and temperament have changed, and this is what interests me."

So the therapist was convinced.No, rather than convincing, it's more about shifting attention in other directions.

She frowned, Ship of Theseus, making falsehoods come true, this is indeed a mystery that is never involved in potions. Is this an inherent flaw in the science of potions?

No, she thought, it's just that the predecessors hadn't developed to this point yet.

Barrow, on the other hand, was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He had no idea that his simple idea contained such rich and profound truths, and he couldn't help but admire the wizard scholar.

And Yunifo, who had been watching from the wall, was also thinking...

He asked: "You said before that even magic is like this. What do you mean?"
