I'm in Hogwarts, what the hell is the Honghuang system?

Chapter 207 The world in this mirror is too narrow to accommodate even a corner of my heart

"Reincarnation Mirror?"

"Dao Heart Trial?!"

Rhine looked stunned, and it took him a moment to react.

This should refer to the Mirror of Erised in the original book?

Rhine shook his head and complained in his heart.

Dumbledore, this old man is good at everything, he is strong, talented, has a wide network of contacts, and he looks quite handsome in the photos when he was young.

The only shortcoming is that he has too strong a desire for control.

Even with people Dumbledore had already confirmed he could trust, he couldn't help but want to confirm that the other party would act according to his expectations and make sure he understood the other party's behavior patterns.

This is Dumbledore's character flaw.

Perhaps it was because he was too talented that he could not imagine why there were so many idiots in the world doing so many ridiculous things.

So he is used to handling everything by himself, and others can solve almost all problems by just following his arrangements.

In the original book, this was Dumbledore's behavioral logic that never changed until his death.

Perhaps this is exactly what Dumbledore meant. He has been suppressing his desire for power and fighting against this desire all his life.

Because of this, at this moment, even though the system had determined that he and Rhine had become friends of life and death, Dumbledore still couldn't help but want to use the Mirror of Erised to peek into Rhine's inner desires.

However, Rhine did not react too strongly to this.

The Mirror of Erised might be addictive to other young wizards, but for Rhine, who has countless methods to suppress his mind, let alone the Mirror of Erised, even the inner demons in the ancient times would find it difficult to take root in his heart.

Rhine had an idea instead.

The cultivators in the ancient times attached great importance to character, and even many magical powers and spells had requirements for character.

Even the Golden Immortal or even the Quasi-Sage still need to constantly polish their character. It can be said that this is the practice that all prehistoric cultivators have to do every day.

Although Rhine has many methods to suppress his mind, if he can also hone his heart of Tao, the effect will surely be twice the result with half the effort.

The Mirror of Erised can reflect what people desire most. Isn't this what the monks call obsession?

If you can see where your obsession lies, it will be much easier to prescribe the right medicine.

From this perspective, the Mirror of Erised might become a treasure to assist in spiritual practice!

In comparison, the magic world's perception of the Mirror of Erised is that it is only used to provide illusory satisfaction, which is a bit of a waste in Rhine's opinion!

So Rhine did not interfere with Dumbledore's plan, but waited quietly for Dumbledore to set up the Mirror of Erised.

Soon, that very night.

Harry, who had just obtained the robe, couldn't contain her excitement and used the robe's invisibility ability to go out for a night stroll.

But after he came back, he looked absent-minded.

After Ron repeatedly asked him what had happened, Harry told him that he had entered a strange room while wandering at night, and there was a huge mirror in the room.

In the mirror, Harry saw that his family was still alive and smiling at him.

When he said this, a look of longing appeared on Harry's face.

It was obvious that he wanted to look in the mirror again.

And Ron is indeed the most sensitive one among the original iron triangle.

In the original novel, he advised Harry not to look into the Mirror of Erised again, as Harry was already in a state of decline.

This time, Ron noticed something was wrong earlier than in the original book.

"Harry, there might be something wrong with that mirror."

"Have you forgotten what we learned? Many of those magical items that allow you to see beautiful visions are extremely dangerous."

"Opening your mind to magical objects requires extreme caution. You shouldn't look into that mirror until you understand its origins."

Harry's expression changed slightly, revealing a struggle.

Compared to his contemporaries in the original novel, Harry is much stronger in both strength and magical knowledge.

He also understood that what Ron said was right. Opening one's heart to a mirror and even exposing one's desires was a very dangerous thing.

But thinking of the scene in the mirror, Harry still couldn't make up his mind to let go.

After struggling for a moment, Harry turned his gaze to Rhine.

"Rhine, what do you think I should do?"

"If you also think I shouldn't keep looking in that mirror, I'm not going there anymore."

Rhine said.

"Harry, when you looked in the mirror, did you see some strange letters on it?"

Harry nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, there is a long string, but it is impossible to read."

Rhine laughed.

"That's right, you can't read it. The letters above are Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi."

"Read it straight on, it doesn't make any sense."

"But the words on the mirror can only be read in the mirror. They have to be reflected in the mirror to be read."

Ron and Harry were both stunned for a moment, and turned it over as Rhine said.

"I show not your face but your heart's desire."

“I will not reflect your face, but the desire of your heart?”

Rhine nodded.

"This is the Mirror of Erised, the Mirror of Desire."

"Its origins are very ancient. According to more credible theories, its earliest prototype dates back to the time of the Olympian gods."

"By the way, the Olympian gods of ancient Greece were considered to be a group of wizards with extremely powerful magical powers."

"Among them, Hephaestus, the god of fire, excels at creating various alchemical items. The Mirror of Erised was created by him and dedicated to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty."

"The goddess of beauty was lost in the mirror for decades before she was awakened. The other gods on Olympus also vied to look into the mirror."

"Later, similar imitations were produced and passed down to later generations. This piece probably came from that place."

Harry suddenly understood after hearing Rhine's words.

"In other words, what's reflected in the mirror isn't a real scene that can possibly be realized, but merely an inner desire, which is completely empty?" Rhine clapped his hands and laughed.

"Like a flower in a mirror and a moon in water, it is out of reach."

Harry immediately became dejected.

"Okay, I see. Looking in this mirror doesn't do anything for me. It's just a waste of time."

"I won't take a photo in the mirror again. I don't want to be like the gods in the legend and stare blankly in front of this mirror for decades."

Rhine shook his head and said with interest.

"In fact, if you have such awareness, you are qualified to look into the Mirror of Erised."

"As long as you can distinguish between illusion and reality, and understand what is a beautiful dream and what is the reality that requires hard work, this mirror is no different from novels, music, movies, or Quidditch. It is just a thing to entertain yourself and pass the time."

"It's just that it's even rarer. There are only a few Mirrors of Erised left in the entire world."

As he spoke, Rhine called over Ron and Harry.

"Come on, let's go and see this magic mirror together."

Ron and Harry looked at each other, their eyes lighting up.

Since Rhine said so, it would be okay for them to take a photo.

Ron didn't know what he could see in the mirror. Although Harry knew that everything in the mirror was an illusion, he still wanted to take a last look at his parents in the mirror.

So Harry volunteered.

"I'll take you there."

After wandering around the castle corridors for a long time, Harry finally found the strange room he had entered during his night wandering and saw the extremely exquisite Mirror of Erised placed in the center of the room.

"This is it!"

Harry's eyes sparkled and he quickly walked to the mirror.

Immediately, he saw the scene he longed for again.

In the mirror, my parents were smiling at me, and my friends were beside me. It seemed like a happy family gathering.

Harry stared at the mirror blankly for a long time before he sighed.

“How I wish this were true.”

"Well, I can't take too many pictures, or I might actually get addicted to them."

Immediately, Harry took the initiative to move aside and make room.

Ron came over curiously.

Then he saw himself in the mirror, his body covered with medals, holding a heavy pure gold trophy in his hand, and there was a huge banner behind him - Ron Weasley, the Nine-time Champion of Wizard Chess!

"Nine-time champion of Wizard Chess?"

"I?!"

Ron chuckled.

But strangely enough, Ron in the original book was also quite obsessed with the Mirror of Erised, but he was not as obsessed with it as Harry was.

But this time, although the scene in the mirror was very beautiful, Ron just smiled foolishly twice and then pulled away easily.

It would certainly feel good to be under the flashing lights, but he had already experienced that.

He also believed that he did not need to immerse himself in the illusory scenes in the Mirror of Erised, and that he could achieve such an achievement on his own.

"That will definitely feel better than sitting here looking at myself in the mirror like an idiot."

Dumbledore, who was observing the situation in the dark, saw this scene and his eyes showed admiration.

Harry and Ron performed much better than he expected.

Ron, in particular, even Dumbledore admired him.

The temptation of the Mirror of Erised is not so easy to escape, which is enough to prove that Ron's will is quite strong.

Willpower is the key factor that determines the upper limit of magic power. Judging from Ron's willpower, his future magical achievements will not be low.

Then, both Harry and Ron looked at Rhine.

Dumbledore's attention in the dark was all focused on Rhine.

What will Rhine see in the Mirror of Erised?
How long will it take him to pull himself out?

At this time, Rhine also walked towards the Mirror of Erised.

He was also quite curious about whether the Mirror of Erised had the ability to reflect his own obsessions.
The next moment, Rhine, who was standing in front of the magic mirror, raised his eyebrows, feeling that there was an extremely secret magic power similar to Legilimency in the magic mirror trying to invade his mind.

But the magic of the magical world could not penetrate Rhine's mind which was guarded by multiple layers of protection.

The Mirror of Erised was incredibly smooth, reflecting only the image of the Rhine.

"Isn't it true?"

"For this mirror, reading my mind is beyond its ability."

Rhine murmured softly, not surprised by this.

Harry and Ron, who heard his whisper, as well as Dumbledore in the dark, were all stunned.

The Mirror of Erised is an alchemical item that is said to be able to reflect even the desires of God, but when Rhine stood in front of it, the mirror could not reflect anything.

Beyond its capabilities?
What is this Rhine...

Could it be that Rhine is more powerful than God?!
Words also appeared on the system screen.

During the Dao Heart Trial, the Yuxu Palace disciples demonstrated their abilities, displaying the authentic style of the Xuan Sect, which pleased the Nanji Immortal Elder.

When it's your turn, everyone's watching

[The Immortal of the South Pole activated the Samsara Mirror, but the next moment his expression changed drastically, because the Samsara Mirror could not even show your figure.]

You shook your head and sighed—

[My Dao Heart is difficult to bear even in the cycle of reincarnation. The Mirror of Reincarnation is too difficult for it.]

[The world in this mirror is too narrow to accommodate even a corner of my heart]

Then, Rhine raised his eyebrows.

"What if I restrain myself a little?"

Immediately, Rhine opened a small gap in his mental defense.

The next moment, a vast world finally emerged on the Mirror of Erised!
