Hogwarts on the Tip of the Tongue Chapter 1046

"Tampering with... the memory?"

Lockhart sighed lightly after reading the contract in his hand first.

"Yes, maybe I don't have a more precise description."

Elena nodded calmly, drew out her wand and moved dexterously in midair.

The light blue magic beam gradually formed clearly in the space, showing a spreading structure like a branch.

"The principle of the Eris Mirror is to show everyone's deep desire. No matter what it is, it must correspond to an unfulfilled desire goal. We will mark it as'D1' for the time being-but people can never just There is a wish, there must be multiple branches under'D1'."

"Over time, what everyone desires will inevitably change..."

Elena glanced at the silent Dumbledore, and directed her wand to draw a line in mid-air.

"For example, a girl who has never been in love may look forward to love and marriage, but when she gets married, she will naturally not see the same scene."

"It's not hard to understand, right? But this has become a special loophole in the Mirror of Eris—"

"The images presented in the Magic Mirror of Eris come from memories, experiences... These wishes are woven from the trajectory of our existence. If the'wish' is'completed' at a certain moment, then it will naturally not reappear. In the mirror."

Elena's eyes were shining brightly, she looked around the people in the room, smiled and said softly.

"If there is a 'skip' method, then we can influence the Eris Mirror through a limited number of 'switches'."

"...So, you plan to use memory tampering to deceive the Mirror of Eris?"

Dumbledore looked at Elena with a complicated expression, his eyes twitched.

As the owner of the Mirror of Eris for decades before, Dumbledore reacted almost immediately.

"Obviously, the mirror does not show the truth-this is not only a disadvantage, it means that it can't distinguish the true from the false..."

Elena squinted her eyes slightly, and there was a trace of demonic cunning on her delicate face.

"It may not be able to help people realize their wishes, but memory magic can do this. With the multiple effects of magic such as mind-trapping, memory retrieval, memory modification, etc., we can make the Eris Mirror become a'limited function'. Wishing Machine', a real...magic mirror."

"Tsk, it sounds feasible, but there are two small problems—"

Grindelwald chuckled softly, his fingers flicking on the parchment, and said flatly.

"The person who looks at the mirror must be accurate and honest enough to tell the'memorist' what she sees in the mirror, otherwise we can't infuse the illusory'wish fulfillment' in her mind, and in the process of'memory infusion' In the meantime, I have to erase this memory, otherwise it will be useless."

"Of course, it can make the memory pass as losslessly as possible."

"The most troublesome thing is..."

Grindelwald turned his head to look at Arkhipovna, then glanced at Dumbledore and Lockhart who were still talking.

"Miss Kaslana, this kind of extremely dangerous behavior that plays with people's hearts... From the perspective of ethics and humanity, it is quite a huge test. Among these are the requirements for trust and the subsequent problems that may arise. , These are not things you can decide."

The first-generation Dark Lord looked deeply at the fairy queen who was becoming more and more "perfect", and said meaningfully.

"This is Pandora's Box—"

"However, in Pandora's Box, there is still the most important treasure-hope, right?"

Elena replied with a small smile, her eyes were cast on the people in the room who were in deep thought, and she happily clapped her palms.

"I'm not sure how much the Eris Mirror can see in the future, but it can at least let people understand what they want. As for whether the risks and benefits are appropriate, this is completely different from person to person...Okay, Explained--"

In fact, in Elena's unfinished plan, the most suitable ones for Eris's Mirror are actually scholars in the magical world.

Perhaps non-magical researchers such as Arkhipovna can see "a flash of inspiration" and even see the research direction clearly.

But for wizards who control magic, the moment they see the result, the confusion is over-in most cases, it is not the process that restricts the development of magic, but the "answer", clear enough, Specific and clear casting results.

However, compared to the non-magical world, the "special use" of the Eris Mirror is more difficult to implement among wizards.

"...Pandora's Box? It opened long ago, but at least you see hope there."

Dumbledore groaned for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

Regarding the abuse of the Forgotten Curse, the magical world has fallen into a very deformed circle early on.

Since the fall of Grindelwald decades ago, the status of the "International Wizarding Federation Confidentiality Act" has continued to improve. Wizards have increasingly relied on the Forgotten Curse to hide their existence, not to mention single-player spells, even for single-player spells. The erasure of all memories in the city has also occurred.

Some time ago, Dumbledore had tried to promote the "Forgetting Curse" restrictive decree at the International Wizarding Federation.

However, just as Grindelwald mocked him before, in this day and age, no one dares to impose restrictions on the "Forgetting Curse".

Dumbledore's "restriction ordinance" proposal was not only suppressed in the first place, but also received a consultation on the reform of a wizarding decree in the wizarding world. Based on the "secrecy law", the International Wizarding Federation was prepared to lift Part of the Muggle's casting is prohibited.

After all, members of the memory write-off team occasionally fail to arrive in time, and the dangers of the magic world are increasing day by day.

As the scope of Muggles' activities expanded, the International Wizarding Federation began to consider allowing wizards to use the Forgetting Curse as appropriate.

Dumbledore had no doubt that wizards like the "former" Guidro Lockhart were by no means rare.

Elena is not the one who opened the memory magic "Pandora's Box".

In fact, on the contrary...

"The lives and memories of high-ranking members are sacred and inviolable. Unless the Grand Arcana is tried collectively, they cannot be deprived or tampered with at will."

Dumbledore recalled the rules they had made together before, and whispered gently.

Compared with Grindelwald and Tom, the biggest difference between Elena and the first two is that she has a bottom line.

"That's why you insist on promoting Ms. Arkhipovna?"

Dumbledore's gaze projected from his long hooked nose and fell on Elena's face.

"Regardless of the process of tampering with the memory, you want to make this activity a cooperative, rather than a unilateral attempt... Even if it sounds a little scary and bad, if there is an accident in the process, at least it will have sufficient strength. The reason for the counterattack, right?"

"It's only a small part, you think it's too complicated."

Elena looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes, and answered earnestly without changing her expression.

"I said that Ms. Arkhipovna's research is extremely important, and this is the real reason-the status of an official level member is not a talisman, it should be an umbrella for others and the world... Moreover, this matter, In the end, it depends on what Ms. Arkhipovna thinks."

Really... The Witch without the slightest flaw.

Dumbledore shook his head, his long silver beard trembling slightly.

It seems that in the last moments of their lives, he and Grindelwald have cultivated an amazing little guy.

"Gidro, what do you think? Of course, and most importantly, what do you think about Ms. Arkhipovna?"

"I?"

Lockhart frowned, still hesitating.

"Tampering with the memory, I am not very sure, it's okay to simply forget me..."

He turned his head and looked at Arkhipovna, "Besides, this is too subtle, but it is cut directly in people's hearts and memories."

"So, it's equivalent to a relatively special operation, isn't it?"

Arkhipovna carefully studied the "explaining contract" in her hand several times and raised her eyebrows.

"My chief surgeon is you? Then I don't think there is anything to worry about—but let's say it first, I'm only responsible for academic research matters. If politics and struggle are involved later, don't expect me to be able to do these things. How can I help."

"Ah, you have to figure it out. This is not a superficial Muggle doctor's job of cutting people apart!"

Lockhart gave a solemn expression, put away his usual carelessness, looked at the heartless Russian mad woman and said in a deep voice.

"This is modified directly in the soul. If the caster has the heart, he can even tamper with your personality... Add, distort, and delete parts of your memory to lead to different experiences... This is countless times more terrifying than the Imperius Curse. I can't rely on a simple curse to go--

"Okay, okay, don't explain the magic here-I don't know what the Imperius Curse is."

Arkhipovna interrupted Lockhart's chatter impatiently, rolled up the parchment in her hand and patted the young wizard on the shoulder.

"You wouldn't do that anyway, would you? Well, what would happen if he really shot me, by the way?"

Halfway through, Arkhipovna turned to look at Elena and asked curiously.

Obviously, this little witch has a special status among the Grand Arcana.

This is a very simple social law: only those who are at the top of the food chain are qualified to formulate the details of the rules.

As for things such as height, age, appearance, since she witnessed the ancient craftsmanship of fairies and learned about the wonderful legends of the magical world, Arshipovna has long abandoned the original concept-the standard of measurement in the ordinary world. It doesn't make much sense in the magic world.

"Oh, I should die? High probability...Of course, it depends on the severity."

Elena showed a sweet smile and replied very seriously.

As the underage demon king whom Grindelwald valued, she would not have the slightest softness in some key places.

In Elena's view, there are many things that differ only between zero and countless times.

What's more, there is a precedent for a certain best-selling novelist in the magic world, and there is no room for maneuver.

If Guidro Lockhart really uses the special effects of "memory magic" to satisfy personal desires, then when learning about it, Elena will directly mark him as a "hostile target", as much as possible Solve it outside the line of sight-it's like dealing with that big snake.

"So, what about benefits and tasks? How much authority does this level member have?"

"Gringotts Wizarding Bank, well, it is the only legal magic bank in the wizarding world. Its CEO level is level."

Elena shrugged, moved her finger to her lips a few times, and continued to speak after thinking for a few seconds.

"As for your side is a little special, you should be regarded as an level member of the'internship period'-from the administrative position, it belongs to our academic heads on the scientific side, second only to the big Arcanas. If There were no subsequent incidents, and it should be possible to get back to normal in half a year."

"So, the range of power to mobilize financial, material and human resources..."

"how to say……"

Elena spread her hands, glanced at Arkhipovna, and said sincerely.

"For us, money is just a number..."

"As for material resources and manpower, these depend on the requirements of your project and the population on the planet. You will gradually understand that most of us are limited by imagination rather than reality-to use a less appropriate analogy. , Would you consider the issue of oxygen consumption for breathing?"

"Okay, then I have one last question."

Arkhipovna raised her eyebrows and looked around at the people in the room.

"When I am promoted to level, who is my immediate superior and how should I call you?"

"The Hogwarts Institute is naturally coordinated by me, but when it comes to school-related matters, I have to notify the'Pope', that is, Professor Dumbledore. As for security and confidentiality, it is the'hanged man'. Lockhart is in charge. As for my title..."

Elena paused for a while, and said quietly and flatly.

"You can call me...the fool from now on."

The magic mirror of Eris stood quietly in the middle of the room.

"Have you really considered it? This is not a joke."

Lockhart said in a serious voice, "You can still retreat now, I can bring everything back to the original point..."

As a member of the Grand Arcana, Lockhart knows the importance of things very well-if Arkhipovna looks in the mirror, she will definitely experience a deep mindfulness, whether she sees the "answer" or not, Dumbledore, etc. Everyone will execute this process.

Because as a Muggle, Arkhipovna can't let the pictures in her mind directly appear, this must be verified by magic.

Arkhipovna laughed.

Lockhart now seemed to be more nervous than she was.

"Of course," she said calmly, "if the answer can be seen in this mirror, then it is the greatest miracle of mankind to date."

"But if not—I mean if your wish is something else—"

"Isn't that better?"

Arkhipovna smiled brightly~www.mtlnovel.com~ blinked slyly.

"Have a sweet dream during work hours. This is the dream of many people. I believe in your ability-Mr. Grand Arcana."

"Okay, ready to record the time node——"

At the same time, Elena and Dumbledore not far away looked at the time of the pocket watch at the same time.

According to the previous agreement, when all the world lines of "Looking in the Mirror" are over, they will erase all false memories and hand over the recorded "wish" change trajectory to Arkhipovna as her extra small gift.

"Please come to the front of the mirror, Ms. Arkhipovna."

"Then, tell us what you saw..."

Great!
