Chapter 256 254 Finney's Plan
Watching Phoebus leave the room, Finny turned to look at Astoria, opened his mouth and wanted to say something.
I heard Astoria say first,
"Do you need my blood? Or are you going to do experiments directly on me? It's all fine. Just come here. I won't interfere with you."
Test it directly on your body,,,,
Feeney's heart skipped a beat.
What kind of pain that will be. You must know that lifting the curse will inevitably bring about a big reaction. Success is okay, but failure will bring harm.
And using magic directly on the body with no idea whether it will succeed or not is using Astoria's life to test this curse.
And Astoria's attitude when she said this was so dull, it could even be said to be numb. One can imagine how many times she had experienced this kind of thing in the past, although it was all to make her The curse on his body disappeared, but it still made people feel distressed.
"I see,"
Feeney was silent for a moment, and then said to Astoria,
"But I need you to get some sleep now,"
Astoria was stunned for a moment, then nodded, stood up, walked to the bed on the side of the room, lay down on it obediently, and closed her eyes.
Seeing this, Feeney took out his wand and waved it.
As the magic took effect, Astoria's breathing gradually calmed down and she fell into a deep sleep.
Unlike Astoria, who was asleep and having good dreams, Finny was entangled.
He only had some guesses about the blood curse of the Greengrass family. He really didn't understand the specific situation. Now, wanting to solve it just like this was actually a bit arrogant and wishful thinking.
Now it is certain that this curse must be related to blood, otherwise it would not be called a blood curse, and it has always been passed down according to the relationship between blood lines.
Therefore, if you want to find a way to undo the curse, you still need to find the answer in the blood.
"Puffs."
According to Finny's previous habit, Puff has always been invisible by his side, waiting for his call, doing things according to his instructions, or showing up at critical moments to block fatal attacks for Finny or bringing him with him. Feeney leaves;
So this time, when Feeney spoke, Puff still appeared directly,
"Master,"
"I need a set of Muggle chemical experiment equipment, and some Muggle medical equipment. You can go find Lisa."
Feeney ordered Puff, and at the same time took the quill on the table, wrote down his specific needs on a piece of paper, and handed it to it.
"Give it to Lisa and tell her that I need it urgently and go prepare it immediately, and then you can bring it over directly."
After leaving the note, Puff turned around and disappeared into this room again.
Watching Puff leave, Feeney stood up and took out a thumb-sized mini suitcase from the pocket of his robe and threw it out.
At the same time, the magic wand was waved, and the mini suitcase changed directly when it was in the air. It began to slowly grow larger, and finally became the normal size.
Opening the suitcase revealed the neat piles of test tubes and glass containers inside, which contained various potions and herbal medicines.
Finny took one of the empty test tubes and came to the sleeping Astoria.
The wand in the other hand waved, and a very narrow, small wound appeared on Astoria's wrist. Blood flowed out of the wound under the guidance of Feeney's magic, and part of it floated into the test tube in his hand. , the other part floated into the beaker on the table,
Feeney put away the test tube and then looked at the beaker.
The magic of wizards allows them to do many things, and they can easily surpass Muggles in many fields. However, because of their magic, most wizards have embarked on a theological path that is completely different from Magu's science.
Because of the memory of his previous life, Feeney knew that there was nothing wrong with science. In other words, science and theology lead to the same destination by different paths. There has always been a saying that the end of science is theology, but so is the end of theology. What about science?
It is also because of this view that Feeney has been paying attention to the scientific development of Muggles over the years, and chemistry is a large part of it, and the other part is physics.
You must know that since the Second World War, the two sciences of chemistry and physics have developed to the point where they can easily destroy the world, but magic cannot yet do this.
Feeney took out a part of the blood and began to test the power and effect of the curse inside using mysterious means, that is, magic.
This kind of curse is actually a type of blood curse, and the most famous blood curse is the one that was cast on a friend of Dumbledore's long ago. It is a kind of blood curse that directly gives people the ability of Animagus. But after a certain age, people will be completely transformed into an animal, and eventually they will even lose themselves and never change back.
Few people in the wizarding world knew about Dumbledore's friend, but Feeney knew that it was Nagini, a former cousin's friend who was a blood curse patient, and later completely turned into a snake. Then left England,
And Feeney also knew that Nagini was now encountered by a mysterious man, and was protected by his side as part of his Horcrux.
The connection between the blood curse and the blood is very close. The medicines known to Feeney, including the one he gave to Phoebus, actually have no effect.
Even the one he gave to Phoebus would have some very bad situations.
Because that medicine is a medicine that replenishes the body's vitality, it will indeed make Astoria's complexion and body recover a lot in a short period of time.
But it also affects the curse. The curse will also be strengthened under the action of the potion, and the final effect will be stronger, and Astoria will feel even more uncomfortable.
If Feeney's potion is really effective, it is of another kind. He uses the material extracted from the blood of the unicorn as the main ingredient and combines it with the blood of the phoenix to refine it.
But it can only have a suppressive effect, and the effect is only slightly better than directly bearing the phoenix's flames. At least it won't be as painful.
The flames of the phoenix can raise flesh and bones from the dead, but it is a kind of flame after all, and the feeling of letting the flames burn the body, burning skin, flesh and bones, must be extremely unbearable.
"This potion can work, and it is more effective than the flames of the phoenix, so one thing is certain,"
Feeney murmured to himself,
"This potion only has two materials, and its effect is also used to purify black magic. Apart from phoenix blood, which is almost never obtained, it is unicorn blood. Therefore, if you want to lift the curse, you still need to Purify it and consider it?”
Feeney sighed, purification is not that easy.
You know, breaking the curse requires the use of purification magic. This matter is not a secret in the magic world. The fact that Astoria's curse has still not been broken proves how difficult it is to do.
The flames of the phoenix, the magic of the unicorn, and perhaps the powerful patronus spell are also effective, but they are all suppression, not elimination or complete release.
Just when Feeney was lost in thought, Puff came back. In addition to the equipment that Feeney asked Lisa to get, he also brought back a letter from Nico,
"Long time no see, Feeny. I have received your reply and know that you need to do something. However, I am still looking forward to your arrival. Albus is already here. He has eaten a lot of good food these days, but Don’t worry, I’ve left it all for you.”
"In addition, I heard from Albus that you are going to visit the Greengrass family and have some ideas about their blood curse. According to the time, you should have arrived at the Greengrass family by this time, so I wrote a letter to Something I know is told,"
"The Greengrass family's blood curse is somewhat different from ordinary curses. In addition to it being spread according to the power of blood, it not only damages human body functions, but also harms the soul of the wizard. As the effect of the blood curse explodes, The soul of the wizard who carries the curse will also become more and more fragile. Someone once tried to transfer the soul of the wizard in the hope of relying on the blood curse, but failed. Therefore, we speculate that this blood curse is not entirely based on blood, but based on the soul. of."
"Based on some of my research, Albus and I found a possible way, and I thought you might need it."
"Many years ago, I once studied the case of Greengrass and found that although transferring the soul cannot solve the curse, stripping the blood can do this, but the wizard will die in that case. Of course, I hope you don’t ask me about the Greengrass I studied.”
"Okay, let's get back to the subject. According to Albus and I's speculation, perhaps transfiguration can play a key role in breaking the blood curse. The curse cannot be solved. The way to break the curse is the little wizard of Hogwarts. I have been exposed to it since the second grade, so it should be no problem for you. The real difficulty of the blood curse is how to avoid harming the wizard when exposed to the curse."
"Transfiguration can do this, turning the wizard who carries the blood curse into an object that does not contain any liquid, such as a chair or a table. This also temporarily separates the blood and the curse - because there is no blood, After that, just remove the curse from the item,"
"Of course, you are so smart that you have already thought of the problem with this method, right? That is the energy that bursts out when exposed to the curse. Most items cannot withstand it. Moreover, because the wizard has magic power in his body, This kind of transformation technique cannot be effective for a long time. After calculation, that time is not enough to break the curse. Therefore, this plan was abandoned by Albus and I. Now I will tell you, maybe it can be of some help to you. "
Are souls involved?
Then it would be difficult to deal with it,
Feeney had a headache after reading Nico's letter. You must know that magic involving the soul belongs to the domain of legendary wizards.
At best, Feini can only use magic in the realm of the great wizard. Due to the depth and quality of the magic power, it cannot be as durable as a real great wizard.
In this way, it would be really difficult for him to break this blood curse.
The only magic related to the soul that Finny has used so far is the soul-giving spell left by Gryffindor and the plasticity magic that Finny improved.
One is to give memories to objects, so that they have their own intelligence, just like the glove that Feeney is wearing on his left hand now, but this glove is very lazy.
The other method is to manipulate the souls that have been prepared in advance and have been processed twice, and add them to the transformed elements through the method of enchantment. This can be regarded as a means of manipulating the soul.
Do you want to use the soul-manipulating part of the evocation magic on Astoria?
Putting aside, Feeney is not sure whether there will be any consequences in which method. Even if there are no consequences, Feeney can't guarantee that after everything is completed smoothly, Astoria will still not be herself.
But, do we have to give up like this?
Finny was unwilling to give in. Since he couldn't find a way through magic, he would find a way through Muggle science.
Thinking like this, he began to skillfully make blood slides, use microscopes to observe, and do blood analysis, trying to find the specific manifestation of the blood curse in the blood. As long as the specific manifestation is found, the curse can be removed through scientific means. out.
In the end, Feeney did find something abnormal. Compared with other people's blood, including his own, there was a certain type of cells in Astoria's blood, and these cells contained a lot of information. A tremendous strength,
Feeney was even certain that this kind of cells was the truth behind the blood curse, but how to solve it?
Finny thought of a kind of magic, Fierce Fire, which can burn all things, or in other words, magic that can burn out all things, including magic. It can also be ignited, and mere curses are naturally not a problem.
But similarly, the destructive power of the fierce fire also means that it will directly burn Astoria to ashes, which requires another kind of flame - the Phoenix flame.
The phoenix flame that can raise dead people and bones can completely restore Astoria's physical condition when the fire burns her body.
This idea is very risky, but it is the most likely to be effective.
However, if Feeney were to do this alone, he would be very unsure, so he needed a helper, one who knew both Li Huo and Phoenix very well.
The wizard with such qualifications and power in the magical world happens to have a person that Finny is very familiar with, Albus Dumbledore, the current headmaster of Hogwarts.
Thinking of this, Feeney got up and walked out of the room, found Phoebus who was still guarding outside the room, and told him his thoughts and assumptions,
After all, this method is too risky. If it fails, death will be inevitable. Therefore, Feeney needs to ask Phoebus what he thinks. At the same time, if he wants to invite Dumbledore, he also needs his consent.
