Chapter 193: Eternity is a moment, and a moment is eternity!
Lynn tried to control the Eternal Fire in his hand. With his extremely strong affinity for flames, the Eternal Fire felt like an ordinary flame in his hand, easily manipulated at will.
This ball of Eternal Fire took various shapes in his hands, and its temperature fluctuated with the infusion and withdrawal of Lynn's magical power.
Unexpectedly, this Eternal Fire, which even high-level wizards could not control, could be freely altered according to Lynn's desires.
"Since you can completely control this Eternal Fire, I am relieved. Now, let's begin. I will teach you how to release it!" Dumbledore stroked his beard, smiling as he addressed Lynn.
Upon hearing this, Lynn nodded. He brought his hands together, and the Eternal Fire, also known as the Immortal Fire, extinguished without any obstacles.
Dumbledore began teaching the process of releasing the Eternal Fire.
Similar to the Patronus charm, if a wizard wants to release the Eternal Fire, in addition to special incantations, they must match the appropriate emotions.
The emotions required for the Eternal Fire are eternity and protection!
Only with the emotions of eternity and protection can a wizard successfully release the Eternal Fire, which can burn forever!
"I understand the feeling of guardianship, but what exactly does eternity mean?" Lynn asked, confused.
Dumbledore replied calmly, "What is eternity? You should ask yourself this question, Lynn. The concept of eternity in everyone's heart is different."
Lynn said, "I understand. So, what about you, Professor? What is your eternity?"
Upon hearing Lynn's question, Dumbledore sighed and spoke softly, "For an old man like me, perhaps 'the law' is my eternity. Determination, courage, love, and hatred endure over time. The law is the one thing that remains unchanged. Therefore, I choose the law as my eternity and to become its guardian."
Lynn nodded thoughtfully and lowered his head.
Suddenly, he raised his head and gazed directly into Dumbledore's blue eyes with penetrating intent: "Professor, I don't know if the 'law' you're talking about refers to the law of change in all things in the world, or to the law of the Ministry of Magic?"
At this, Dumbledore was stunned. He realized he couldn't answer Lynn's question immediately.
Yes, what exactly is the "law" in his mind?! He wanted to tell Lynn that the "law" he referred to was the law of change in all things in the world, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
After that incident, he had forgotten his ambitions. He longed for the peace and stability that had been so hard-earned. Perhaps the laws of the Ministry of Magic were flawed or even foolish, but he was willing to abide by them.
Because they maintained peace and stability today.
Perhaps what he wanted was eternal stability.
Although Dumbledore didn't speak, Lynn had clearly received the answer he was looking for.
Lynn then smiled and said, "In that case, Professor, I understand what 'eternity' means to me. Being immutable and complacent is in no way eternal. Only running with the times and bringing beauty to people can be true eternity."
"Eternity is also a moment, and a moment can also be eternity! Eternity comes from people and is extinguished by people. I believe that only by allowing people to dream can we achieve an unchanging eternity!"
Lynn said calmly.
As his words fell, Dumbledore could feel a faint golden light igniting around Lynn. It was the eternal power contained in the Eternal Fire, and it caused the Eternal Fire to burn forever.
Dumbledore looked at Lynn with a complicated expression. He suppressed the confusion and uncertainty in his heart and began explaining the spell to release the Eternal Fire.
---
Eternal Fire is by no means a simple spell. Releasing the Eternal Fire is much more difficult than casting a full Patronus charm. Lynn struggled to learn the incantations, trying to memorize them and then recite them clearly.
Learning the Eternal Fire was much more difficult than he had imagined, and the difficulty didn't lie in controlling the Eternal Fire, but in how to summon it.
Yes, summoning! If the flames from the Fire Curse and the Severe Fire Curse condense the surrounding magic and release it with the wizard's emotions, the Eternal Fire is a special flame that is summoned.
The Eternal Fire seems to never belong to this world, but it is present everywhere in it.
The eternal power that constantly condensed around Lynn was not a carrier of the Eternal Fire but served as the coordinates to summon the Eternal Fire's appearance.
As the sky shifted from day to night, Lynn missed both lunch and dinner, anxiously studying the Eternal Fire in the headmaster's office.
The hard work paid off, and before curfew, Lynn finally succeeded in releasing a ball of Eternal Fire.
He saw the golden flame nestled in Lynn's hand. Infused with Lynn's generous magical power, the temperature of this golden flame was already equivalent to that of a fierce fire.
If Lynn were to throw this ball of Eternal Fire onto a Horcrux, the high temperature carried by the Eternal Fire could instantly destroy the malevolent soul within the Horcrux.
After all, the Eternal Fire contains the power of protection and eternity. This power is positive and a natural counter to the evil of the Horcrux.
"Lynn, your talent is truly amazing!" Dumbledore sighed.
You know, even when he learned the Eternal Fire, it took him less than half a month to successfully release a small ball of Eternal Fire.
Moreover, he had only released the Eternal Fire. He couldn't manipulate the eternal flame of the Eternal Fire like Lynn did.
Dumbledore looked at the talented boy before him with a gentle expression and said, "I think you should go to bed now, Lynn. Curfew will be soon!"
Hearing this, Lynn was momentarily stunned, then noticed the time on the clock.
He bowed slightly to Dumbledore and said, "Well, good night, Professor!"
After saying that, Lynn effortlessly extinguished the Eternal Fire in his hand and slowly left the headmaster's office.
After watching Lynn leave, Dumbledore began to think deeply.
Judging by their two recent conversations, Lynn's thoughts were very different from his own, but Dumbledore also understood that there was nothing wrong with Lynn's ideas.
Otherwise, after Lynn expressed his views on eternity, the golden power representing eternity wouldn't have emanated from his body.
The difference between Lynn and Dumbledore's thoughts might be that Lynn's ideas were more advanced or radical, while Dumbledore's thoughts were more conservative or outdated.
It seems I'm getting old, so let's leave the new era to younger people.
Dumbledore smiled bitterly and shook his head.
