Chapitre 19: Chapter 19: The Boiling Magic World
News of the Longbottoms' recovery gradually spread outside St. Mungo's hospital, causing some small-scale discussion in the wizarding community.
Although the turmoil did not cause too much trouble in the lively wizarding world, there were still some wizards with keen sense which connected the situation with the appearance of Dumbledore and an unknown wizard to the St. Mungo's hospital on that day with some uncertain speculation.
However, when a breaking news was announced later, it was only then the wizards understood what the recovery of the Longbottoms really meant.
A week after Maple left the hospital, a paper was published on the front page of a famous academic magazine "Magic" in the wizard world, causing every wizard sitting at the table to enjoy their breakfast to spit out the coffee in their mouth…
<Research report on the successful invention of counter-curse to the unforgivable curse – Soul Healing Spell>
Did I not get a good rest last night?
This was the first reaction of every wizard who had received this period's magazine.
After repeatedly confirming that the title was correct, some wizards were excited and nervous, some were sarcastic and disdainful, some were noncommittal.
But no matter their moods, they all opened the magazine and read carefully the information from the first page of this shocking paper on the spell.
"It seems, probably, there is no problem?"
As these elite wizards gradually got deeper into the thesis, they unknowingly took out their wands and started practicing…
They were all a little surprised when they saw the white light coming out of the tip of their wands that was exactly as described in the thesis, and the healing power contained in the white light.
"Could it be? That imperius curse now has its counter-curse?"
While being a little confused by this fact, they dazedly looked at the author of the paper.
This time, not only themselves, even the surrounding wizards and muggles were also startled by their "entrance".
"Feng Qin? Albus Dumbledore? Nicholas Flamel? Damn… I knew it, then it all makes sense!"
"But, who is this Qin Feng? Have you heard of him?"
"No, but to be signed as an author, he must be some reclusive great wizard who has reappeared."
Wizards were not fools…
The authority of "Magic" was recognized, besides, who does not know the legendary names of Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel? Their character and knowledge had long withstood the test of time.
This mysterious wizard's name "Qin Feng" could be placed together with the latter two names in this epic paper. It was absolutely impossible for him to be a deceitful person who stole credit. On the contrary, he was more similar to a recluse who studied magic in seclusion.
This point was gradually recognized by many wizards in the following days.
Because after the investigation of some interested people, this had been confirmed… This wizard that incited the storm in the magical world "Qin Feng" was currently living in a small wooden house near the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole. He was a middle-aged wizard with black hair and green eyes. He had strong magic power and was elegant in conversation. He did not refuse requests of academic exchanges by some people.
However, when everyone wanted to investigate further, they found that most of "Mr. Qin's" personal information had been obscured by a strong Fidelius Charm.
After knowing this information, all wizards tacitly stopped further actions, and only occasionally joked whether the secret keeper was Dumbledore or Nicholas Flamel during chats over dinner.
However, compared to discussion of the Maple's secondary identity, what truly detonated the British wizarding community and even the rest of the magic world was still the thesis on [Soul Healing Spell] itself.
Special treatment, perfect recovery, lifelong immunity.
This kind of spell introduction was almost like a panacea medicine in the muggles' world, but it was actually worthy of this epoch-making counter-curse for the imperius curse.
Although those were cursed for the first time, the prestige of the imperius curse was still there, but it was much better compared to before the invention of the counter-curse.
Faced with this big news, all magic departments in various countries immediately took action, forcing the on-the-job Auror to learn the Soul Healing Spell as soon as possible, and even took the initiative to urgently communicate with major magic schools, hoping that this spell would be listed as an elective for senior students similar to Apparition and also included as bonus mark in N.E.W.T (Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Test).
The British Ministry of Magic responded even more quickly…although Nicholas Flamel was not in the UK, the other two were living in the country! Qin Feng even had a cleaner background. If he was not awarded the first-class medal of the order of Merlin not, did they want to wait until he was poached to another country? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
The current British Ministry of Magic was very urgent, afraid that if they were slow by one step, Qin Feng would stand up and leave for another country. Even the most stubborn of pure-blood families did not mindlessly oppose the decision at this juncture. Their attitudes were strangely calm.
The longer they lived, the more capable these elite family elders were able to analyze Qin Feng's capabilities from that paper.
Why was it that before he appeared, there was no solution to the Imperius Curse and one could only resist? But as soon as he arrived, suddenly a few big bosses discovered this panacea-like soul healing spell?
Dumbledore's transfiguration and spells were unparalleled, and so was Nicholas Flamel's alchemy, but neither of them had been heard making any significant achievement in the realm of soul. What did this mean? This meant that Qin Feng was a rare soul master whose existence completed the final puzzle!
Not to mention how beneficial it was to a family if they managed to win over such a great wizard in the soul realm, just the close relationship between the Longbottoms and him was worthy of consideration.
Under the green light process, one week after Maple's paper was published, Maple received a letter of invitation from British Ministry of Magic through the smiling Dumbledore. Of course, the name of the recipient was "Qin Feng".
"I think that you will probably be the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin in history, moreover, it is a first-class medal. Am I right? Six-year-old little Maple?"
Dumbledore joked cheerfully, and deliberately emphasized the word "six-year-old" as if he was afraid Maple would not understand his joke.
"Come on, old man, why don't you go and have some fun. I'm really looking forward to what kind of strange expression a certain old man will have when he honors 'Qin Feng' on the stage. Oh, that reminds me…"
While looking at the letter, Maple glanced at Dumbledore with a strange look. This deceptive look immediately sent an ominous premonition to the old man's spiritual sense.
Sure enough, in the next moment, Maple issued a dangerous "crime" notice in a calm tone.
"I must build a monocle capable of recording to preserve that moment. Since in the future, I believe that moment would be one of my big conversational topics. What do you think, my beloved principal Dumbledore?"
"Uh… yes, that is a great idea, Maple. But Nicholas Flamel told me that he is short of many alchemical materials. I'm afraid I have to borrow some from you."
Dumbledore blinked his blue eyes and took advantage of Maple's distraction to quickly block Maple's Disarming Charm with his transfiguration skill while silently casting spells to wipe out the supplies in Maple's alchemy room.
"Don't worry, little Maple. A few days after the award ceremony, I will ask Nicholas Flamel to double the compensation for you."
Before Maple could say anything, Dumbledore had already exited Maple's cabin and apparated away, only leaving behind sounds of laughter.
That's right, to perform the role of [Dark Priest], Maple has moved out of Flamel's home and lived in the mountains near the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole. He built an inconspicuous cabin, occasionally acting as "Qin Feng", which was also the investigation results of some wizards.
"The old man's spell is still so sharp, but…"
Looking at the empty grass field, Maple was silent for a moment. As he went back to tidy up the mess left by the previous discussion, he also extended his hand into his trousers' pocket and took out a completed monocle alchemic glass. Rubbing it gently with his fingertips.
"Why didn't you ask me whether the glass had been made?"
