Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 188 Occlumency and Legilimency

Lockhart's human-shaped key was not in use at the time and had expired, so Sainz used his name to go to Madam Pince to borrow books on Occlumency and Legilimency.

Madam Pince double-checked the signature on the note, confirming it was indeed the professor's signature, and took the note to the restricted area, "Wait here."

"It seems to be in the restricted books section, so why couldn't I find it before?" Sainz thought, "Is there a secret compartment in there?"

He came to the restricted area to browse books, but he didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of being discovered by the professors.

He was actually quite surprised that there were no restrictions in the library. He even wondered if the school deliberately did not set up any defenses just to allow some "studious" students to have a way to study.

"Maybe there really is a secret compartment, or some other corner that I overlooked." He didn't check every banned book at the time, so it's possible that he overlooked a book because of its title.

"It can't be just bad luck that it happened to be borrowed when I went to look for it?"

"Mr. Autumn, although there is a note from the professor, none of these books are allowed to appear outside the library. You can only read them here. I don't want any of them to be "accidentally lost" when you leave the library. Do you understand?"

"Yes ma'am."

He was sure that he had never seen the few books that Madam Pince brought him before. It seemed that it was not because he did not search carefully or that they had been borrowed by someone else when he was looking for them. Instead, some books were managed separately and could not be obtained without the permission of the librarian.

"Protect your brain", "Do your best to protect the secrets in your heart", "Sorry, your secret is already known to me", "Never lie to me"

Where there is a spear, there is a shield; where there is a sleeping dragon, there is a young phoenix.

After roughly reading through them, Sainz felt relieved. These books did not have any special effects, so it was fine. There was no one around, so he copied them.

As a simple carrier of knowledge, it is very friendly to Sai. Unlike some "magic books" in the universe, the words on them are meaningless. Instead, it is the book itself that contains knowledge. In this case, the copy obtained by duplication is of no use.

After returning the items one by one to Madam Pince, her expression improved a lot.

Back in the Room of Requirement, I drank tea and flipped through the books I had just received.

It turns out that there is a regular way to practice Occlumency, and it is not as rough as Harry's training method in the original trajectory.

After reading it, Sainz said that he had already completed most of the above steps in advance and only needed to improve them slightly.

Science is not self-deprecating. He does not think that the brain-blocking technique is absolutely reliable or much more advanced than what he has figured out. To put it bluntly, it is just a spell created by humans after all. After all, it is not an absolute defense.

Including the Fidelius Spell, which seems to be an "absolute defense". If we look at it on a long timeline, it will be conquered sooner or later. At that time, another spell may appear to restrain the spell that conquers it, and the contradictions between the two sides will spiral upward. That is the healthy and upward process of technological progress.

If an "absolute defense" really appears one day, then wizards should be afraid, because it means that the pace of technological progress may come to a halt, which would be very terrifying.

After spending more than a week rebuilding his mental firewall, Sainz focused his work on the research of "Legendary Mind".

Because Legilimency appeared in many places in the original trajectory, Science had already guessed whether its usage could be divided into two types: internal and external.

With the specific information for comparison, Sai said that his guess was correct.

When this spell is used on others, it works just as the original trajectory shows. It can determine the truthfulness of the other person's words, and if used directly, it can look through the other person's memory.

You can use it on yourself, but the thoughts of ordinary people without training are jumpy. It is very dangerous to use Legilimency on yourself, as it may lead to confusion in your thinking.

If a wizard wants to extract orderly memories like the people in the original trajectory, he does not have to reach the level of a "brain blocker", but he must undergo a considerable degree of training in orderly thinking. At the very least, he must be able to restrain his own sparks of thought and have no random thoughts flashing in his mind.

Otherwise, what you extract will be like a randomly spliced ​​and mixed video, which will make anyone dizzy.

These prerequisites are no big deal for Sai. Ever since he knew this was "Harry Potter", he has been doing these things every day.

In the past few years, all kinds of thoughts would run through his mind from time to time, but now they don't happen anymore.

There are many reasons, generally speaking, it is because he thinks that he now has a certain ability to protect himself. Even if he is expelled from Hogwarts now, he is not afraid. At most, he feels it is a bit of a pity.

After my life safety was guaranteed, I felt less anxious and urgency inside, my mentality was much calmer than in previous years, and my mind gradually became clear.

After spending time practicing Legilimency to a level that satisfied him, Sainz nodded as he looked at the silver-white thread flowing at the tip of the wand.

Very good, I have taken a big step towards my ideal level.

It is true that Lockhart is a hateful liar, but he has indeed helped Sainz a lot. Sainz feels that with all this help, he will not have to bother him because of the fake "Restoration Spell".

The two cancel each other out.

Sainz decided to let him go as long as he didn't cause trouble for him in the future.

Of course, if other people, such as Hermione, had to expose their idol's identity as a liar because his image collapsed, Sai would be happy to see it happen.

A few weeks passed by, and one night Ben said, "Sainth, I just saw a lot of brochures and flyers on the table in the common room."

"Don't make a fuss about it. Isn't it like this every Easter? You never paid any attention to it before."

"Yeah, what does that have to do with us?

But this year is different, because you are going to take the Ordinary Wizarding Level Examination this year!"

"Thank you, Ben!"

Adam also brought in a bunch of small leaflets, "Sainse, look, there are a lot of flyers distributed in the common room, and there are also a lot of job advertisements."

Sainz was touched that his two roommates cared more about his career prospects than he did. They obviously remembered what he had said to them in the first grade.

"Okay, let's take a look at what's available. You can also help me with some references. It's a good opportunity for you to learn about it in advance."

Ben and Adam looked at each other, then spread out a pile of information with interest and read through them one by one.
