Hogwarts: Becoming a god from reselling fresh food

To be honest, if it weren't for the huge side effects of Mind Seed, Murphy is not sure he would have the willpower not to use Mind Seed frequently.

If it can only make people obey unconditionally, who can refuse to use it?

Think about that scene.

Give each person in the Ministry of Magic a spiritual seed, and give each person in the Muggle government a spiritual seed. Wouldn't he immediately rule the world?

Isn't that what you want to do?

Let the whole world work for their own dreams and use the power of the world to support one person. With the efforts of billions of people, wouldn't becoming a god be much faster than it is now? Much more comfortable?

This is probably the reason why the Hel family was hunted down to extinction. No one wanted to suddenly and inexplicably have an extra master.

In terms of this effect, the Seed of the Mind is a spell far more powerful than the Killing Curse. The Killing Curse can only make an opponent offline permanently, but the Seed of the Mind can make the opponent become your die-hard fan.

Such a powerful tool that no one can refuse to use.

Celica thinks this spell is scary, more because she has seen the damage caused by the spell, making people or animals go crazy.

But in fact, spiritual seeds without such negative effects are the most terrifying magic.

"Celica, you can use this spell now, will you rely on it? For example, use it on the two of them so that they can no longer harm animals, or use it on me so that I can no longer be exposed to black magic, etc.? "

"Of course not! It's so evil to control others like this!" Celica answered without thinking.

She now regrets helping Murphy find this magic. At that time, she just thought that this spell could help Murphy keep people secret, thereby replacing the punitive Thorn Oath. She only wanted to help Murphy, so she didn't think too far ahead about the harm this spell might cause.

But after experiencing what happened in the village and reading Joasim's diary, she was already wary of this spell.

"Well," Murphy nodded, "but maybe that's because these two goals don't mean much to you."

He thought for a while, "What if you use the spiritual seed on me to make me fall in love with you?"

Celica was shocked, she didn't even expect this aspect.

Then her face quickly turned red. This guy actually said this in front of others. Isn't this equivalent to telling everyone that I like him?

She was a little angry, but Murphy's words still frightened her. It seemed good to make the other party like her, but immediately, the images of animals tortured to death by the soul seed appeared in Celica's mind.

"No! I would never use this spell on you!"

Love potions are stronger than it!

And since Murphy can say such things, it means that he really doesn't regard her as a possible love partner at all.

This made Celica a little disappointed and also a little angry.

Murphy smiled, "Look, you have used this magic so many times and it has not eroded your soul. Why should you worry that I will be eroded by it."

"..." Celica was left speechless by the question.

"But, it, it's too evil..."

"So, am I not researching ways to make it gentler?"

"..."

Seems reasonable?

Celica was told that she was confused again. What was going on? Why could she never win an argument with him?

"Then, if it becomes milder, will you still use it? You will still be used to enslaving others, just like you just said!" Celica finally grasped the point again.

"this……"

Murphy didn't know how to defend himself for a moment. He originally wanted to say that he would only use this spell "when necessary," but he didn't have the final say on what "necessary" meant?

At this moment, Omid Abbott, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke and came to his rescue.

"Director, Teacher Celica, actually, this magic may not be as powerful as we think."

"Oh?" Murphy was stunned and quickly followed the topic and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Through recent research, we have also found some patterns in this spell." Omid said.

"We found that this spell is not guaranteed to succeed."

"First of all, since most animals do not have logical cognitive abilities, they cannot understand and execute some commands related to abstract concepts, and the spell will not be effective."

"Secondly, for some animals with rudimentary thinking abilities, such as crows and monkeys, we found that they seem to be able to resist certain commands that are contrary to their strong will."

"For example, if we starve a monkey for several days and then give it food, then if we use a spell on it to order it not to eat, the probability of success is less than 20%."

"We analyzed the data carefully and found that when the spell was successful, either the monkey was not too hungry, or the monkey was already starving to the point of death. But when the monkey was hungry for a day or two and was extremely hungry, it was not yet When one becomes very weak, the spell never succeeds."

"This may mean that the spell can be resisted! Perhaps the reason why those spells are successful is because the subject does not resist the spell too much, or is in an extremely low-energy state of the mind and finds it difficult to resist the control of the spell. .”

"Huh?" Murphy was stunned, "Can the seed of the soul be resisted?"

Then what's the use of it?

"We are not sure about this yet, but we have studied Joachim's diary and found that the reason why he was able to successfully use spells on the villagers and himself was probably because they themselves were willing."

"The villagers hoped that they would get better and were willing to believe that Joachim could heal them. Joachim was also willing to let himself believe this, so his spell was not resisted."

"We suspect that the mechanism of action of this spell is very different from that of the Imperius Curse."

"The Imperius Curse can be used on an unwilling target and it is difficult to resist, but when the Imperius Curse expires, the subject's mind will return to freedom. The mind seed is difficult to use on targets with a strong will to resist, but once If successful, it is permanent and will remain in effect until the conditions set by the spell are completed."

"Of course we don't have enough evidence to support this conjecture yet."

"We want Teacher Celica to use some non-dangerous commands on me and Funes, such as writing a thousand words, completely obeying the command within an hour, etc. These restrictive spells have been proven by our experiments to not have It will have long-term effects, but... Teacher Celica refuses to use spells on us..."

Celica: "They say it every day and beg me dozens of times every day... I think they have gone crazy... or they are perverts..."

Murphy imagined the scene, two big men chasing Celica and shouting, "Slave me, enslave me..."

It's really perverted.

"Director, we have done a lot of animal experiments, but the brains of animals are still far inferior to humans. More importantly, we have independent consciousness and logical thinking, and our thinking and psychological models are also different from animals, and this The spell clearly relies on this type of mechanism, so we applied to be able to conduct human experiments."

"Of course, we can start with ourselves..."
