Chapter 501: Chapter 501: If we succeed, what are you going to do?
"Mr. Grindelwald, I always feel like you're trying to screw me over," Andy commented, looking a little annoyed.
"So you're not completely stupid after all!" Grindelwald didn't deny it.
Andy: "…"
The old man no longer even bothered to hide it.
Grindelwald was certainly not a good person, and Andy was asking him for magical knowledge, so why wasn't he also waiting for the results of Andy's experiments?
Once Andy managed to create a controllable Obscurus, then Grindelwald wouldn't mind getting his hands on one, either.
"Speaking of which..."
Andy suddenly asked, "If we succeed, what are you going to do? Continue your unfinished business?"
Andy doesn't mind being used.
Or rather, only if Grindelwald has something to gain, Andy will believe that the old man is not deceiving him with his magic knowledge.
In fact, all Andy wants is Grindelwald's wealth of magical knowledge.
"Boy, I actually appreciate you."
Grindelwald said, "The fusion of mind and magic to create a controllable Obscurus... before you, perhaps someone had thought of it, but no one had ever succeeded."
Andy asked in return, "You think I can succeed?"
Grindelwald gave a faint smile and asked in a curious tone, "You have already succeeded once, with that special Patronus charm! How did you do it?"
"Make the magic unstable?" Andy was slightly smug when it came to this.
Although Andy did it by cheating, cheating is also a kind of ability.
If you have the ability, you will also cheat, right?
Grindelwald nodded. "As long as you can bring the magic back to an unstable state, creating an Obscurus is not difficult."
"As far as I know, the only way to pull this off is by sudden increase of the magic."
"You have prepared a Magic Booster Potion?"
"Kid, let me remind you, the Magic Boosting Potion can only be ingested once. If you take it a second time, you'll be in for a real mess."
Andy let out a light laugh. "Thanks for your concern. Actually... magic transfiguration can also increase magic power."
Grindelwald was taken aback. "That's right!"
"Wait a minute..."
Andy raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "You said it was easy to create an Obscurus? How is it easy?"
"As far as I know, the only way to create an Obscurus is to let your magic run wild and then suppress it with your willpower. To be honest, it's very difficult."
"I can't even find a way to stimulate my emotions."
To this day, Andy still has no idea what to do.
"Do you remember Credence, the person I mentioned earlier?"
Grindelwald said, "His adoptive mother strongly disliked magic, and he was therefore loathed by her."
Grindelwald's face twisted slightly in mockery as he said this.
Andy didn't know if he was mocking the ignorant adoptive mother or the weak-willed Credence.
"Years of abuse have created a unique environment conducive to the growth of Obscurus."
Grindelwald continued, "With your mentality, it is of course difficult to stimulate emotions through external factors. But if you are ruthless, it is not completely impossible."
Andy fell silent on hearing this.
Be ruthless?
For example, shot a Killing Curse at Isabel?
"Let's change the subject!"
Andy said, "If we continue this conversation, I might not be able to stop myself from wanting to hurt you."
Grindelwald smiled faintly. "It seems you have got a little arrogant."
"If you come up with such an idea, then it's worth trying," Andy jokingly added.
Grindelwald leaned closer to look at Andy, who seemed to be a little emotional.
"You haven't answered my previous question yet."
Andy changed the subject, "If we succeed, what are you going to do?"
Speaking of the topic of the future, Grindelwald suddenly felt a little emotional. He sighed and said, "I'm already old; I can't do much."
"But you..."
"Kid, don't you want to change the world?"
"If the controllable Obscurus experiment succeeds, it will usher in a new era for wizards."
Andy smiled, "Change the world? Help those so-called fellow wizards?"
"Don't be ridiculous!"
"Who are they to me to expect help?"
"In this world, the only people who can help them are themselves. If they don't want to change, why should I make the effort to change things for them and end up being a big villain like you?"
"For now, I only want to gain immortality and power for myself and my family!"
On this point, Andy and Grindelwald's views were poles apart.
Perhaps because of the dimension-leaping, Andy had difficulty considering all those wizards he didn't know as his kind.
Grindelwald gave Andy a deep look and did not continue to persuade.
"It's getting late!"
Grindelwald suddenly said, "The last ritual... I wish you success."
"Thank you! Then... good night, Mr. Grindelwald." After saying this, Andy slowly got up, patted the dust off his bottom, and then put the Two-way mirror back in his pocket.
"Ahh..."
With a stretch, Andy took out the Time-Turner and let time rewind two hours.
7:30 p.m.
Andy vanished from public view and descended the Astronomy Tower. He then left the castle and used the Apparition spell in the Forbidden Forest to arrive at Godric's Hollow cemetery.
The ritual went smoothly.
It was late at night, and no one would be wandering around the cemetery just for fun, so Andy was not disturbed during the entire process.
'Next...it's just a matter of waiting for the next new moon,' Andy thought to himself.
Although he was still a little nervous, Andy had already done all the preparations he could.
What's more, Andy firmly believed that, with his powerful 'Will' attribute, even if this dark magic transfiguration failed, he would definitely not die.
As Grindelwald had said: The mind controls magic, and the 'Wll'... is the mind's defence.
'The magic of death... will soon be mine!'
'The magic of death... the magic of death...'
Andy mused to himself, and suddenly a new idea came to him.
According to what Grindelwald had said earlier, the Obscurial named Credence actually possessed two magical powers within his body.
One was his own magical power.
This part of his magical power merged with his mind and turned into the dark magical force known as the Obscurus.
The other magical power originated from his family.
It was the magical power stolen from the Phoenix by the Dumbledore family ancestors.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Phoenix's magical power that Credence was able to live into his twenties.
Because the Phoenix's magic did not merge with Obscurus.
But this is all just Grindelwald's speculation.
There is simply no evidence to prove this!
'In theory, although foreign magic can merge with our magic, it cannot merge with our power of the mind.'
'Because the two are not of the same origin!'
Andy mused in his heart, 'However, in reality, the magic stolen through magic transfiguration will change our life characteristics.'
'And the mind power... is an emotional energy derived from life.'
This part of the energy... perhaps it can also become an Obscurus!
