Rubik's Cube of Heavens - Chapter 62
After an unknown period of time, Coven slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
“How is it? Did you succeed?” When Ollivander saw this, he immediately asked with a bit of urgency.
“Uh…” Coven scratched his head.
Seeing this, Ollivander’s heart sank. He asked in surprise, “Failed?”
“No, how should I put it…” Coven sounded a little conflicted. “I did succeed, but I didn’t construct the library in the end.”
“Not the library?” Ollivander furrowed his silver-white brows. “Are you sure you’ve succeeded?”
“I can be sure about that.” Coven nodded firmly. “The things I constructed seemed to be… like a few boxes.”
Coven made a metaphor, and at the same time used hand gestures to cooperate. “Not all the memories in the library are in the same room, but the memory zone is divided into several boxes. There are more small boxes in the boxes, and I built them in this way.”
Ollivander followed Coven’s description and fantasized for a while, then said uncertainly, “In this way, I can’t be sure which effect is suitable for you to build like this and which one is suitable for the library effect I mentioned.”
“This is a bit unexpected…” Coven scratched his head in embarrassment. “I couldn’t help but be like that when I started building it. I couldn’t help it. When I came back to my senses, it was already too late to change it.”
“Involuntarily?” Ollivander was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, the worry on his face disappeared. Instead, he said happily, “As long as you can be sure that you have succeeded, involuntarily… I think this may be the care of fate for you. After all, the effect of each person releasing a spell is different. I guess that it may be your wizard intuition that helped you make this choice. Perhaps this choice is the most suitable for you.”
“Maybe…” Coven’s tone was a little uncertain, but it was difficult to explain the truth. After all, if he explained it, Ollivander did not understand what a computer was.
What’s more, if Coven were to explain it truthfully, perhaps because of all sorts of unreasonable details, his identity as a ‘transmigrator’ would be exposed again.
It wasn’t easy for him to maintain his character, which allowed Ollivander and House to ignore all kinds of unreasonable things about him, which made it so that no one would investigate him further…
The topic of whether Memory Charm succeeded or not ended here.
Ollivander changed the topic. “Alright, you can slowly experience the effects in the future. Do you still have the energy?”
“I have no problem with that.” Coven was certain.
“In that case, let’s continue learning from Occlumency.” Ollivander suggested.
“Okay sir, how should we start?” As Coven spoke, his heart suddenly froze.
Because as Ollivander said the word Occlumency, all his memories of Occlumency suddenly appeared in his mind…. All the information and images he had obtained from looking up information on the computer suddenly appeared clearly in his mind, as if he was in the real world.
Thus, Coven couldn’t help but be stunned. ‘The effect of this Memory Charm was too great!’
“What’s wrong with you?” When Ollivander saw that Coven was stunned, he couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“Ah? Oh, nothing.” Coven came back to his senses and explained, “I remember why I felt that the word” Occlumency “was familiar. I saw it in a book when I was searching for information in the library.”
“So that’s how it is.” Ollivander believed Coven’s lie and said happily, “It seems that your Memory Charm has succeeded. Congratulations.”
“Thank you, sir.” Coven thanked him and quickly changed the topic. “Let’s start learning. What do you need me to do this time?”
“This is a spell.” Ollivander said, “First, you should familiarize yourself with me. Oh, I forgot that you just need to listen to or read what you want to remember now. You can remember it.”
Hearing this, Coven couldn’t help but laugh. “Yes, sir. I think I have already memorized the spell.”
“Alright.” Ollivander laughed and shook his head. He then warned, “However, this spell has a higher usage requirement.”
“What is it?” Coven chuckled.
“Because Occlumency is used to keep it a secret, you can’t make it obvious when you use it. Otherwise, others will know that you are lying and hiding your memories.”
Ollivander explained, “Therefore, the usage of this spell is silent without a wand.”
“I can do silent casting.” Coven nodded and asked curiously, “But how can I cast a spell without a wand?”
“A strong will!” Ollivander instructed in a deep voice.
“Strong will?” Coven made a reading machine.
“That’s right, a strong will.” Ollivander repeated solemnly again and then explained, “Most of the spells cast without wands are like this. There must be an extremely strong will and the effect of the curse must be very clear.”
“This is almost the same as the ‘Silent Magic Technique’ I summed up.” As Coven spoke, he explained the ‘Silent Magic Technique’ that he had concluded to Ollivander.
“You are very talented.” After listening, Ollivander sighed and continued, “Your conclusion is perfect, and the technique of casting without a wand is just like I said, but very few people can take care of both.”
“You mean…” Coven continued, “Most people can only use either without casting or without a wand. Can’t they use both techniques at the same time?”
“Yes.” Ollivander nodded and said with certainty, “Most of the wizard is like this. Because if you want to combine the two, you need to practice for a long time, and you also need to have superb talent.”
“Most people can only use a few of their commonly used spells to complement the two. Only wizards, like your Headmaster, Dumbledore, can use two skills to release most of the spells.”
“I understand,” Coven responded with a look of realization.
“Alright, let’s start practicing.” Ollivander pointed out, “First of all, you have to recall the contents of the book ‘Magic Wand Materials Science’ in your mind. Then, I will cast ‘Legilimency’ on you. You have to try your best to resist me reading your thoughts.”
[*TL Note: The Legilimency Spell (Legilimens) was a charm that allowed the caster to perform Legilimency; in other words, to delve into the mind of the victim, permitting the caster to see memories, emotions, and thoughts. Skilled Legilimens, such as Tom Riddle, were able to perform Legilimency without using the incantation or a wand. Highly skilled Legilimens were able to control their victims and create realistic visions.]
Hearing this, Coven felt relieved. He was glad that the memory Ollivander chose to read was so safe.
After taking a deep breath and preparing himself, Coven recalled the contents of the book and nodded at Ollivander to indicate that he was ready.
Seeing this, Ollivander pointed his wand at Coven and recited the incantation of ‘Legilimency’. He began to read the thoughts in Coven’s mind.
The next moment, an extremely strong sense of peeping was captured by Coven’s sixth sense.
To make an analogy, it was as if someone wanted to strip him naked, making people feel extremely uncomfortable…
