Chapter 257 Attributes Of The Devil
Elena is a lust.
Although she once attributed this situation to a defect in certain physical functions, or to the chaotic electromagnetic field of the modern city affecting her judgment on direction, or to the unclear planning guidelines of the city council...
But when this situation stubbornly persists after crossing, only one explanation remains:
-Lu Chi is a kind of attribute of a higher level that originates in the soul. It cannot be destroyed, sold, discarded, or decomposed.
However, Luchi does not mean foolish.
In fact, there is much evidence that Luchi is mostly knowledgeable.
Almost every Luchi will attempt to strengthen itself with knowledge, metaphysics, animal companions, and other methods before finally accepting its destiny, hoping to break the curse that the world has left upon it.
For example, Elena can skillfully use the angle between the sun and the clock to calculate dimensions and orientation.
She can effortlessly state that the solar system is within the third ring of the Milky Way, and is located in a secondary spiral arm, the Orion spiral arm, which is situated between the Centaurus spiral arm and the Perseus spiral arm.
She can easily judge the south of the sun and the north of the shadow based on the scattered distribution of truncated tree rings.
Even at night, she can accurately determine the southeast and northwest positions based on the constellation in the sky or the shape of monsoon-driven clouds.
Not to mention, as a lover of nature, she can even guess the climate zone, the range of altitude, and the geological conditions in which she finds herself through the surrounding vegetation and biological communities.
But...
She simply couldn't find the place she was looking for!
This is Luchi!
For Elena, knowing the name of the hallway where she is, and knowing that her place is called Hogwarts Castle, knowing that Hogwarts is somewhere in the Scottish Highlands, is essentially the same thing.
"So, should I consider myself fortunate to be able to identify the right direction to Salzburg?"
Grindelwald leaned on a familiar intersection of Sancha with his arms crossed, looking at the white-haired girl in front of him with an amused expression.
"I heard for the first time that there are students at Hogwarts who don't even know how to get to the dining hall."
This is the third time she has returned to the origin. However much the ball of white hair argues, he cannot be fooled again.
During this time, Grindelwald was partially aware of the hidden secrets in Hogwarts Castle, for example, an abandoned bath filled with restless gray mist, an unchanged echo in the dungeon with a strange whisper, a warehouse full of decomposing potions, empty classrooms with suspicious fabrics thrown about randomly...
You know, in the magical castle, sometimes the path is not limited only to the route that can be seen with the naked eye. Grindelwald with his super magical perception and Elena, who is as sensitive and intuitive as magical creatures, can always find those hidden places. Behind the stone walls and curtains, there seems to be a "shortcut" to the right direction.
One old and one young, two Royal Highnesses, relying on their own strength, can naturally move around the castle without hesitation, and walk according to the shortest intuition.
-So, after a stimulating journey that can be considered as the exploration of the old castle for about ten minutes, I returned to a strange and familiar starting point, um... maybe I need to add an additional word.
Grindelwald finally understood why every time Elena went out when she was in Newmontgarde Castle, as for movement between floors, he had to drag her along for a walk-and to be named said to maintain an appropriate amount of exercise to avoid fat accumulation.
Probably, the main reason is that if you accidentally get lost, you will never find your way back to your bedroom!
"Oh, so have you told me how to move? You just said you can find the direction through the stone wall, aren't you, grandpa?!"
Elena raised her head and looked at the "Unrelated Grandpa" who said cool words beside her, and angrily said.
"Since we are all lusts, do not shirk your responsibilities without outsiders."
It makes sense that things come together and people split into groups.
The world is fair, with outstanding magic talents, and sometimes has to pay some other price in return, for example, a relatively weak sense of direction.
"Don't compare me with you. If it weren't for the magical prohibition in this castle, I could lead a simple ghost to its destination."
Grindelwald froze, snorting coldly and furrowing his brow.
"In the end, who offered to leave from the classroom entrance?! You should reflect on yourself!"
Because Dumbledore had to discuss with Snape about subsequent curriculum adjustments and some additional arrangements for the orders, Elena and "Mr. Otto" were temporarily invited out of the classroom.
then...
"Let's first go to the school hall. Unknowingly, I have a little hunger in my stomach." Elena said.
In classic French cuisine, [baked snails with cheese] is quite reasonable as an appetizer before dinner.
The proper temptation of proteins, along with cheese and parsley that can stimulate the stomach and mouth to generate hunger to the fullest, can truly awaken the memory of hunger.
Already hungry, Grindelwald naturally agreed with Elena's proposal and chose to leave Dumbledore and Snape to go to the auditorium first.
but-
But who could have imagined that this "rising star in the magical world" who could go to raid the potions professor's office and plunder the central kitchen of Hogwarts would be a sad idiot on the road?
Furthermore, Elena is also the queen of the lost way.
You know, the terrible thing about Luchi is not that she can get lost alone, but that she can make a whole group of people follow her and lose direction, even if 99% of them are human beings with a normal sense of direction.
And these individuals are often filled with temptation!
"In terms of probability..."
When she first encountered a fork in the road, Elena made a perfect rationale- it is very scientific to give directions based on probability, but most Luchis will accurately trigger events of low probability...
"I think this path is more familiar. If there are no accidents, I should be able to reach through..."
Of course, returning to the same place twice in a row makes this argument naturally impossible to falsify, in fact, it is very familiar.
"Are you sure your choice is correct? If I recall correctly, shouldn't this be your first time at Hogwarts?"
It was at that moment that Grindelwald attempted to point in another direction. Elena's subconscious questioning was not really because she was confident.
"Shut up, let me judge the direction," Grindelwald said as they returned to the origin for the first time.
Unfortunately, even if the third time was directed by Grindelwald, they still returned to the original point...
"Otherwise, can't you ask for help from Professor Dumbledore? They must have some kind of magic to call each other."
Elena rubbed her empty stomach and looked at Grindelwald with a sad expression.
The underground buildings of Hogwarts are really terrible, so, are there really no lost places in this school?
"Last attempt," Grindelwald blinked and surely he would be late for the auditorium now.
Although Albus' character won't say anything, he will silently laugh at him in his heart.
"Speaking of which, it seems that I heard some strange noises in the left direction. Let's go in this direction this time."
