A few minutes later.
Jon, who had returned to the Moen Garden, saw the fat monk bring him a pot of steaming hot tea from a corner. It was obvious that they were going to have a long talk.
However, he had to listen to the gossip he chose even if he was sleepy. Besides, Jon was not sleepy at all. As for tomorrow, the first class was Professor Sprout's class, and it was a theory class, so he could skip it.
Of course, skipping class openly was not advisable, but sleeping in class was not a problem.
"Okay, are you ready to listen?"
The fat cultivator sat on the rattan chair and stared at Chown with his transparent eyes. Because of the haze in his eyes.
Jon held the cup of tea and nodded seriously.
The fat monk rubbed the pocket watch in front of his chest. Even ghosts could touch the feathers of the Night Qi, which was a very strange experience.
He could not remember what it was like the last time he had a sense of touch.
The voice of a ghost always sounded ethereal, but at this moment, it was even more ethereal.
"Jon, did you know?
I was once a preacher in the Church. At that time, I was a priest with a very high status and bathed in the Holy Light. Therefore, I have seen a lot of stories in my life.
A saintess was tempted and fell into a witch. A devil covered in blood finally obtained the so-called redemption under the Holy Light.
Of course, these things were actually very simple. Because people's love and hatred were all emotions, and what were emotions?
They are the most sudden things in the world and have the most powerful power.
But Naughty Ghost is different. He didn't know anything when he died. From the moment he had consciousness, he had already become the Earthbound Spirit of the Hogwarts. He didn't care about death at all because it had no effect on him. "
The fat monk looked at Jon and sighed softly. "Haven't you personally experienced his abnormality?
When he was hated by the whole school, his kindness was ignored, and his actions were ridiculed and cursed, he never changed himself or gave up something he insisted on. "
"Maybe, that's because he is actually a good person?"
"A good person?"
Lensillo, the fat monk, narrowed his eyes and looked at Jon as if he was looking at a strange creature. "Of course, Mischievous Ghost is not a good person. He just wants to be a good person."
The former Priest of the Holy Light began to explain to Jon, "You only know that Pippi is the Earthbound Spirit of the Hogwarts, but do you know what an Earthbound Spirit is?"
Jon shook his head blankly. This was indeed a blind spot in his knowledge, or rather, he still had a lot of blind spots in his knowledge.
However … perhaps Helga should know the reason behind the appearance of Naughty Ghost.
"I can ask Ancestor Helga."
Jon raised his hand and said. Although Helga herself was in a deep sleep, the portrait of her would definitely know about these things that had happened in the past.
"Don't look for Madam Hufflepuff for everything. Young man, I'm just telling you!"
The fat monk blew his beard speechlessly. If he had it, he would have started to tell Jon about the Earthbound Spirit.
"If evil has levels, then killing people is actually not an evil thing. Don't listen to Dumbledore's statement that killing people is evil. He has killed many people himself."
Jon drank his tea in silence. Helga had told him this before, but he suddenly remembered the image of Voldemort's soul he saw last night. He felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Voldemort's soul was broken and chaotic. Killing people would not be that powerful. After all, this was not that scary for a Wizard.
Not to mention a Black Wizard.
"Now in the Wizard World, the way to distinguish between a Black Wizard and a White Wizard is to see if they know some unforgivable spells. But these powerful spells are what a Wizard should know. Without these spells, they would not even be able to protect themselves."
"When I was still alive, the Wizard's way of distinguishing between good and evil was to see if the Wizard had an evil past. For example, magic experiments that made people wish they were dead."
"But this target has a certain limit, right?" Jon asked. "Because using evil magic on one's enemy doesn't seem like an evil thing."
"That's why, when I said 'others', I meant innocent people."
The fat monk omitted the words he wanted to say. Since Jon already understood what he meant, there was no need to say more.
"Dealing with one's enemy is not a big deal. Because of emotional reasons, no matter how cruel it is, it will not affect the Wizard himself. It will even help to increase his strength."
"So, you mean, Pippi is an innocent person who suffered?"
"It's a little worse than that. Pippi was still a baby when he died."
A baby that was just born?
Jon was not surprised. After all, in the history of magic, it was very common to use babies in magic experiments.
"But, why would the Hogwarts allow someone to use such a vicious curse here? At that time, the four founders were still alive, right? "
"Of course they were. Otherwise, why do you think Pippi is different?"
The fat cultivator smiled. "Although we spectres are capable of interfering with the real world, Mischievous Ghost's ability to touch and move objects is not an ability that ordinary spectres can possess."
"… Unless there is a special enhancement in a certain place, right?"
Jon pointed to the teapot in front of him, indicating that he understood this point.
"That's right. Just like how I can be strengthened in the Moen Garden, Naughty Ghost is strengthened in the entire Hogwarts. He can choose what kind of ghost he wants to become. Just like what I told you before, he's actually a kind-hearted person. It's just that his kindness is covered up for some reason."
"Pippi's enhancement comes from the compensation of the four founders. He can rely on the earth of the Hogwarts to strengthen himself. As for who is best at this kind of magic, I think no one knows better than you."
Obviously, it was Helga, the witch who was best at earth magic.
"So, his appearance is also the doing of one of the four founders?"
The fat cultivator nodded noncommittally, then asked with a smile, "What's the matter?
"Do you know why Pippi has been wreaking havoc in the school?"
