v3 Chapter 163： the way to eternal life

Latest website: Several people walked upstairs along the stairs. Portraits were hung everywhere in the corridors on both sides of the stairs, and as they walked by, the people on the portraits would whisper and point at them.

During the journey, Huck couldn't help but recall the experience just now, because this is eternal life! The ghost just now has existed for at least seventy years, but still maintains a clear consciousness and memory. This is not called immortality, what is immortality?

So he started to ask side by side.

"The magic world can indeed achieve immortality." To Huck's surprise, Tom didn't mean to hide, but told it directly and frankly. He told Huck bluntly that immortality was indeed possible in the wizarding world.

Huck got excited all of a sudden: this is immortality! It is one of the highest pursuits of human beings. If you can get the trick of immortality from a wizard, then you will become the most powerful person in the world!

You can dedicate this method to the queen first, and let the queen live forever to maintain the final glory of Great Britain. In Huck's eyes, the queen is almost seventy years old, and it is estimated that she will live in a few years. Once she dies, the Commonwealth will completely disintegrate. As the Prime Minister, shouldn't I find a way to save this declining empire?

"Xiaoshuo, Xiaoshuo!" Huck hurriedly urged, his accent changed.

"The ghosts just now can only be called non-life and non-dead. Although they can still think, have memories of their lives, and can give feedback to external information stimuli, they are still undead in essence and cannot eat - even The aroma of food cannot be smelled, and the range of activities is also limited, and can only be moved in places where they have stayed before their death. What is even more bleak is that once you choose to become a ghost, there is no turning back. Therefore, every wizard has a choice. Power, but only a very few wizards who still have an obsession with the world will choose to stay."

Huck nodded vaguely, but he still couldn't understand why the wizards chose. In his opinion, it is better to die than to live. If he had a choice, he would definitely choose to become a ghost. Why do he care so much?

"There are two more normal ways of immortality in the magic world, one is to use the magic stone, and the other is to use the Horcrux."

Hearing the word Horcrux, Professor McGonagall glanced back at Tom, and at the same time pricked up his ears, secretly cheered up, and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

"The Horcrux is too evil, I don't want to say more, um, its principle is what you just said, divide the soul and inject it into other items, so that the items are not destroyed, and people will not die. If you want to make a Horcrux, you must Killing without psychological burden."

Hearing Tom say that, Huck put out the idea of ​​immortality through the Horcrux at once.

"As for the magic stone, don't even think about it, this kind of thing has been lost."

Huck: !

"Sure enough, eternal life is just a man's extravagant hope." He sighed.

"Life is not about length, but breadth. Your life is wider than most people." Tom comforted Huck a little.

At this time, several people had reached a staircase, and Huck was about to move forward, but was stopped by Professor McGonagall.

"Wait a minute." Professor McGonagall looked forward with a serious expression.

Huck was a little confused. The next second, he saw the stairs in front of him move, twist and turn, until it docked with the platform opposite. After a few seconds, another staircase turned around and took the place of the original one.

Why make a good staircase look like this? Huck pondered for a while, and then suddenly realized: "This must be to defend against foreign enemies, right? If the stairs in the castle can be turned as they want, the invading enemies will be very confused and don't know how to go."

Professor McGonagall was silent for a while, then nodded with pursed lips. She wanted to say that it was a prank by the founder Ravenclaw, but when she heard that Huck actually thought so, she was too embarrassed to tell the truth.

Next, Huck further appreciates the magic of the Hogwarts castle. Naturally, there is no need to say more about the stairs in the castle, which vary in width and width. On top of that, there are a lot of human doors here—really human, because they won't open if you bluntly ask them to open, or poke precisely in the right place. Huck discovered that even the armor in the castle could walk.

Finally, Professor McGonagall took them to the principal's office on the fifth floor. Along the way, Huck even had the feeling of taking part in a hiking obstacle course.

Unlike usual, Dumbledore did not shrink in the office, but stood at the door of the office, quietly waiting for Huck's arrival.

Today's Dumbledore wears a dark blue wizard robe with golden stars on the robe. In addition to his white beard that reached his waist and his eyes that could see through people's hearts, Dumbledore's dress was exactly what Huck expected a wizard should look like, which made Huck awe-inspiring after seeing Dumbledore. .

But why is his nose crooked?

"Hello, Professor Dumbledore." He stood up straight and shook hands with Dumbledore respectfully.

Contrary to Huck's imagination, Dumbledore was quite amiable, and did not have the air of a great wizard. He greeted himself with a gentle smile. He also enthusiastically asked if he had tripped over the naughty stairs when he was going upstairs. Rather than being the White Devil of the Wizarding World, Huck felt that the old man in front of him was more like Santa Claus.

He is so amiable! It was completely different from what I imagined.

According to Huck's stereotype, Dumbledore should be the kind of old man who lives at the top of the towering wizard's tower, does not ask outside affairs, and focuses on exploring the mysteries of magic. If I want to see him, I can't wait to go through ninety-nine-eighty-one hardships, or the kind that only hears his voice and doesn't see him. In the end, when I saw the real person, I realized that I had no guesses except for the appearance.

"Minerva, go with your business, Mr. Harker, let's go upstairs to chat slowly." Dumbledore invited Huck to Hogwarts, and there was a very important purpose, that is, he needed to see with his own eyes On the one hand, the future Prime Minister - yes, even if Huck hasn't done much, the wizarding world has appointed him to be the next Prime Minister.

"Pile of cockroaches." Dumbledore called out the command, revealing the entrance to the Headmaster's office.

Huck: ? !

His knowledge of Dumbledore has been refreshed again Today, we are going to tell the story of Priscilla Dupont, the eighteenth minister of the Ministry of Magic. It is worth mentioning that the surname Dupont comes from France, pont means bridge, and de is added before the French aristocratic surname, and pont is a masculine noun. du, it is estimated that this is the origin of DuPont. Free translation, it is Mr./Ms. Bridge

Priscilla Dupont was a witch who served as Minister for Magic from 1855 to 17 February 1858.

After taking office, she began to develop an irrational disgust for the Muggle Prime Minister Lord Palmerston, and even turned the coins in his coat pocket into frog eggs. But it also led to Priscilla himself being forced to step down on February 17, 1858. Ironically, two days later, on February 19, Muggle Prime Minister Palmerston was also forced to resign.
