"The brain represents the mind and spirit. It may not have strong magical power and cannot directly attack the body, but in a sense, it represents the evil god itself, representing the despicable Herbo himself. It is the most dangerous part," Dumbledore said.
Elwyn agreed with Dumbledore's words.
The scariest part of the evil god was its corruption and mental attacks. Through endless whispers, the evil god could cause the victim to lose themselves in the illusion and die, or control the weak-willed creatures. The fallen centaur and the eight-eyed spider were all controlled in this way.
Of course, this was the most obvious characteristic of the evil god, but it was not the only one.
The strange creations they made and their strong bodies also made people feel despair, it was not a power that humans could match.
"For the brain that is good at using mental power, normal sealing magic is obviously not suitable. Therefore, Slytherin deliberately chose Azkaban to seal it. From some of the ancient books left by the vampires, we can find some of Slytherin's ideas. In his original plan, the island was located in the depths of the North Sea, far away from the mainland and wizards. There were no creatures on the island, no matter how strong its mental power was, it would not affect other people. " Dumbledore continued, "Slytherin also left the tightest seal there, using the strongest magical power to resist the mental power of the brain."
"The strongest magical power?" Elwyn asked, "Professor, are you talking about the double snake cane?"
The strongest magical power to resist the mental power of the evil god's brain. If there was any power that could be called the strongest, Elwyn could only think of the double snake cane.
Gryffindor and Ravenclaw had both told him that the double snake cane had unimaginable power.
This power, even a powerful wizard like Salazar Slytherin could not use it easily.
Therefore, most of the time, he left the double snake cane on the long table in the principal's office.
Slytherin wasn't worried about losing this magic staff. Most wizards wouldn't even be able to touch it.
Elwyn didn't know what would happen if he touched the Double Snake Cane, but he would never forget the feeling of the two giant pythons opening their eyes and staring at him …
"Oh, yes, the Double Serpent Staff is the core of the magic that Slytherin left in Azkaban. It is the source of the sealing magic." Dumbledore said, "It has extraordinary magic. I think it was necessary for Slytherin to leave it there, because even under such a strong suppression, the brain of the Evil God was still active. It created more and more Soul Eaters as time passed."
"I don't quite understand. What's the point of the monster sealed in Azkaban creating so many Dementors?"
"Dementors can help it recover its strength. We all know that Dementors bring despair and suck away all happy emotions. Wizards think that they use these happy emotions as food." Dumbledore said, "But this is strange in itself. No wizard can explain why. How can happy emotions become food? This is something that doesn't make sense. It can't be explained at all, right? Some people attribute it to magic and don't study the real reason. They simply take it as a matter of course. But not everything can be explained by magic. Magic isn't the groundless superstition imagined in Muggle's head. Dementors absorbing happy emotions and living on them is simply against common sense. Even in the world of magic, it's something that can't happen … "
"So, what do those Dementors rely on to survive? What do they absorb happy emotions for? "
"For a long time, we all mistakenly thought that Dementors were living magical creatures. As a type of living creature, they must rely on food to survive. But in reality, this isn't the case. Dementors don't have life. They are non-living magical creatures that rely on magic to exist. Just like these magic portraits on the wall, they rely on magic to survive. "
There was another round of discussion around them. All the headmasters stopped pretending to be asleep.
They were shocked by Dumbledore's information. What he had just said had completely overturned the centuries of understanding of Dementors in the world of magic. Elwyn noticed that Phineas Nigellus' expression was focused, which was rarely seen.
The essence of the Evil God's creations was that they were magical creatures and didn't need to rely on food to survive.
As long as there was enough magic to supply them, they could survive.
As for the source of magic, of course, it came from the Evil God that created them.
In theory, as long as this Evil God had enough power to bear the burden, it could continuously create an army of countless Evil God creations until the entire world was filled. This wasn't impossible, and it was the same for Dementors.
The wizards thought of so many ways to limit the number of these terrible creatures, but in the end, they all failed. They had to admit the existence of the Dementors and made concessions to allow them to gather in Azkaban. They also sent those who had committed crimes to them. It was a punishment for the criminals and a so-called food for the Dementors.
Now that they thought about it, this decision was simply a joke.
They weren't naturally born living creatures, so all methods of restriction naturally didn't work.
Even if they used the Guardian God to destroy all the Dementors, it would be useless. As long as they didn't destroy the Evil God's brain under Azkaban, the Dementors would continue to appear after a while. Sending criminals to them would only make them stronger.
"As for absorbing happy emotions or using the Dementors to absorb a person's soul, their purpose is all for the Evil God's brain under Azkaban. That brain can extract a type of power that is very beneficial to it from these emotions and souls. This is a very complicated process. We can simply understand it as a type of soul and mind magic." Dumbledore said, "The Evil God's brain needs this, but it's sealed in Azkaban. So, it needs those Dementors to help it collect this power."
"Collect …"
