After Luo Zhen and the others left, Ryan hurriedly got up to clean up. Ten minutes later, he was already sitting at the dinner table.

He was indeed starving because he hadn't eaten for three days.After eating a full meal, Ryan began to chat with Mr. Luo Zhen about the details of making the dolls that day.But before chatting, Luo Zhen first called out the puppet hidden behind him.

"Didn't you keep asking your brother why he didn't wake up a few days ago? Why is he so shy now that he cared so much?"

After saying this, the little puppet came out from behind Luo Zhen, and then gave Ryan a very ladylike skirt ceremony and said: "Rose Crystal has seen you, brother."

"Rose crystal?" Ryan asked a little puzzled.

"That's right, a child must have a name when it's born. Only we can come up with the name after you've passed out. It's the name that Alice thought of first." Luo Zhen responded. "Don't you feel bad?"

"I think it's very good." Ryan thought about Xiao Zi's name that he thought of first after seeing the doll, and felt that this was not something that a waste of name like himself could do, and it would be better to name it with Alice.Although Ryan felt the power of the world's will from this name.

Of course, what made Ryan most relieved was that the puppet called him brother instead of father. After all, a single father is really a very difficult role. He is not married like Luo Zhen, and he has not done it yet. I'm ready to be single with a daughter.

After feeling Ryan's love from the bottom of his heart, the puppet called Rose Crystal came over and sat on his shoulder, then held Ryan's head and listened quietly to the conversation between the two.

"By the way, there is something important to tell you. Each person can only make up to seven of these dolls, because our souls can be split up to seven times in making dolls. If we continue to split All puppets will lose their minds." Luo Zhen warned Ryan with a serious face.

"Seven times?" Ryan suddenly remembered a very important thing. "Why does this sound so much like Voldemort's Horcrux?" Because including Harry in the original text, Voldemort made a total of seven Horcruxes and split his soul seven times.Although Ryan didn't read much about Rozen Maiden, he also knew that Luo Zhen made seven dolls in the end.What exactly do these two things have in common?Is it just a coincidence?

"Horcrux, what is that?" Luo Zhen asked curiously, because he had never heard of this thing before.After Ryan roughly explained, Luo Zhen thought for a while before speaking. "I think I know what that is. It's very similar to a kind of magic from ancient Egypt. You know mummies?"

Ryan nodded. The mummy is an important supporting role or even a protagonist in a large number of literary and film works.Of course he knew such a famous thing.

"In fact, mummification originated from one of the earliest ways to avoid death. At that time, someone invented the method of cutting off a small piece of his own soul to make a phylactery and store it in a safe place, so that he could be reborn when his life was in danger. And the Horcrux you mentioned is very similar to this phylactery." Teacher Luo Zhen explained.

"In the interpretation of magic, the method of making mummies to take out the stomach, intestines, liver, and lungs and put them in separate jars but leaving the heart is actually a metaphor that you can cut a part of your soul when making a phylactery , but you must remember that only the soul in your body is the most important thing, and you must not put the cart before the horse. However, as time goes by, ordinary people who cannot master magic also get this method, but they just do it literally , which turned out to make the method world-famous as a method of body preservation."

"If the cultural backgrounds of our two worlds are not too different, the Voldemort you said about making Horcruxes is actually splitting souls to make a phylactery."

"But what is it about Voldemort saying that making Horcruxes will keep him from dying?" Lane asked further, because there is no book about Horcruxes at Hogwarts at all.So since Teacher Luo Zhen mentioned something similar, he wanted to ask clearly, so that he could use it to understand what was going on with the Horcrux from the side.

"It's very simple. On the one hand, with a phylactery, no matter what kind of fatal damage you receive, it is difficult to die. On the other hand, each phylactery will provide the owner with a lifespan equal to the lifespan of the original body. If you say If that person has made seven horcruxes, it means that he has eight times the normal lifespan. Even for a person who has mastered extraordinary power, it is very long to live nearly 1000 years. Of course this is The conclusions are drawn in my world, but according to my observations of yours, your world should be similar. But if you can get a Horcrux sample, I can conduct a specific analysis."

Luo Zhen continued after analyzing Voldemort's Horcrux. "But just like the rules and restrictions of the world, no matter how powerful an extraordinary person is, he can only divide his soul seven times at most. According to the records of those who made the phylactery, once this number is exceeded, people's self-awareness will disappear, even if the soul It still exists, but he wasn't him then either."

Speaking of this, Luo Zhen paused and warned.

"Not only that, the separation of souls when we make dolls is just equivalent to cutting nails and hair. This can all be restored, even if there are too many times, it will only affect our creations and not ourselves." Hearing this, Ryan felt that Rose Crystal's strength to hold his head suddenly became a little stronger.But Luo Zhen didn't notice this scene and continued talking.

"But if you want to save your life and cut your soul, on the one hand, the danger and complexity are far higher than the way we make dolls, and on the other hand, you need to cut your own soul body, which is equivalent to the amputation of ordinary people Surgery. And it will cause some irreversible problems to the damaged soul. The most important thing is that the longevity brought about by this method is actually done by consuming the power of the soul body. It will cause their souls to disappear completely. And the disappearance of the soul is actually extremely dangerous and bad for a transcendent, even worse than death itself."

"But I'm not completely sure about the Horcruxes in your world, unless you can let me see a sample." Speaking of which, Luo Zhen looked at Ryan with eyes eager for knowledge.

"I think I know where a Horcrux is, and I can bring it to you when I'm free." Said to Teacher Luo Zhen.

"Don't worry, I'm just researching. I will definitely not use this stupid method of harming the soul. After all, the top of alchemy can naturally obtain eternal life." Luo Zhen solemnly assured after listening to Ryan's answer.

Ryan remembered Dumbledore's words in the original text: "Death is nothing but a great adventure." It seems that the harm caused by the Horcrux to the soul is far more serious than he imagined.After all, even Teacher Luo Zhen, an alchemist who can touch the origin of the world, and a great professor like Principal Dumbledore have pointed out the importance of the soul, so there must be some big problem with wanton cutting of the soul.

"Okay, the above is what I want to tell you. You must pay attention to the importance of the soul in your future life." After speaking, Luo Zhen stood up, and when he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "To celebrate With the addition of new members, I decided to hold a banquet for the rose crystal at night."

"Thank you teacher!" At this time, Ryan also stood up and sent Luo Zhen away respectfully.

Everyone had a great time that night.Three days later, when Ryan felt that the wound on his soul had been completely healed.He bid farewell to Teacher Luo Zhen and his daughters and returned to the Wanjie grocery store with the rose crystal.
