Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 439: The Contribution of Dementors

Looking throughout the wizarding world, only wizard cubs need to learn before they can master magic.

Other magical animals, even if they are taken away from their tribe when they are young, will automatically master racial magic when they grow up to a certain stage.

And if the young wizard does not have special guidance, it is unknown what kind of magic he will be able to master in the future.

Rather than immediately mastering one or two powerful spells, the wizard chose to trade his weakness in the early stages of life for infinite possibilities in the future.

This may be the reason why wizards can dominate the magical world.

The thought flashed through his mind, and Sainz continued to focus on the Dementors.

After catching the tail, it becomes much easier to follow the train of thought.

He also discovered a flaw in the meditation chip. Sai could watch the experimental process repeatedly in his mind, but he could not repeatedly feel the flow of magic power during the experiment. This process could not be reproduced and could only be experienced once in each experiment.

The Dementors' "rune system" is inside their bodies, not on the surface, and there is no "visual" manifestation, so the Pensieve can do nothing about it.

Memories are memories, feelings are feelings, and no one will really feel pain because of remembering the injuries they have suffered.

This is also one of the main reasons why Sai's research progress is slow.

Fortunately, Sai is very patient about some things.

In the blink of an eye, another month passed, and Sai made great progress against the Dementors.

Although he was always calm about forgiving, he couldn't help but want to howl loudly, "Sai has improved again!"

Soul Extraction Technology!!!

The technique of completely stripping away a soul!

The magic of magic lies in the fact that all techniques can be mastered by an independent individual.

Science thought that if the Muggle world also had soul extraction technology, it would definitely require a huge machine or a system that required the joint efforts of a large number of people.

He thought that perhaps the soul extractor in the Muggle world could be made very small, even smaller than the small wooden stick in the hands of a wizard, but behind that device that looked only the size of a finger might be the work of thousands or even more people.

And magic, a technology that is enough to change the world, was independently researched by a single individual, and was even completely mastered by a single individual so "easily"!

After several months of dedicated effort, Sai has figured out the mode of operation of the runes in the Dementor's body when the Dementor casts the Dementor's Kiss, and has also figured out the style of those runes.

To make an analogy, when the Dementor's Kiss is cast, it probably forms a "soul low-pressure zone", causing the Dementor's "mouth" to produce a very strong "suction force" on the soul, causing the victim's soul to involuntarily leave the body where it originally stayed.

The structure of the thing on the Dementor that Sai was most interested in had been figured out, and all that remained was to consider how to make use of this rune structure.

"Forget it. Since I've already wasted my time on them," Sainz thought, "I might as well squeeze all the secrets out of them."

In addition to separating the soul and the body, Dementors also have the ability to absorb people's happiness. It is also a good magic to refer to.

"People say that Dementors feed on people's happiness. Is that really the case?" Sainz thought uncertainly. "Since they feed on happiness, why would they be afraid of a patronus that is formed by the memory of happiness and joy?"

Too much contact with Dementors will indeed make people depressed and lose interest in everything. At first, they will feel that they will never be happy again, and in the end they will even become numb. Some prisoners will even commit suicide.

People's feelings are not fake, they feel that they will never be happy again.

At first glance, it seems that the happiness has really been sucked away, leaving only negative emotions.

But from another perspective, it doesn't seem to be the case. Harry, including the big black dog, especially the big black dog, has faced the Dementors for more than ten years. To be honest, his happiness should have been eaten up long ago.

But we can see that after leaving Azkaban, he can still become happy.

Another situation also seems to make sense. What if the Dementors do not feed on happiness but on negative emotions such as fear?

The Dementors come to the food and suck its emotions. All the negative emotions of the food are mobilized to become "explicit emotions", while positive emotions such as happiness are all suppressed and become "implicit emotions". Then the food is affected and feels that it "will never be happy again".

This seems to explain the situation in Azkaban - because it is full of despair.

No one can expect Azkaban to be full of happiness.

Since there is no happiness in Azkaban, how do Dementors, who feed on happiness, survive there?

If Dementors feed on negative emotions instead of positive ones, then everything would be explained!

No other ground has the concentration of negative emotions as Azkaban, which seems to explain why a prison can support so many cloaks.

After all, if they fed on happiness, they would starve to death in this desperate place unless they could survive for a year or more with just one bite.

Combining Azkaban with the Patronus, someone from Sai is more inclined to believe that the real diet of Dementors is not happiness but negative emotions.

Its eating action - that is, the magic - is not to suck away the happiness, but to suppress the happiness and allow negative emotions to emerge.

Like blowing away the oil film on the top of the soup before drinking it?

Of course, this is just Sai's speculation and there is no definite evidence yet.

Regardless of whether Dementors feed on positive or negative things, one thing is certain: they feed on the non-emotions that memories trigger, not the memories themselves.

Everyone who was "eaten" said that they would never be happy again, but they all became happy again after being evacuated.

Obviously, happiness was not actually eaten.

Happiness does not come from nowhere; happiness comes from happy memories; it is just an emotion, a renewable resource, while memory is not.

The same goes for negative emotions!

When Dementors engage in "normal" feeding behavior, they are feeding on a renewable resource called emotions.

And when they perform the "Dementor's Kiss", do they simply "drain the pond to catch all the fish" and remove all the memories as well?

What, then, is the relationship between memory and the soul?

Is memory the soul?

Sainz feels that they cannot be equated.

"The soul is definitely not just memory," he thought, "If they are equal, then doesn't that mean that two clones with the same memories have the same soul?

is it?

Although there is no evidence, it is obviously not the case!"

What exactly is a soul?
