Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 131 Amulet

Lucius sent over the materials Tierra requested this weekend.

Although some materials were slightly underweight, it did not prevent Tiera from being used.

Because Tiera requested ten portions of each type of material from Lucius for the second batch, even if some materials were short in quantity, it wouldn't hinder Tiera's crafting of related ritual items.

But Tyrell, as was customary, gave Draco Malfoy a severe dressing-down and ordered Lucius Malfoy to deliver the missing material before Christmas.

With Christmas approaching, Tierra has to start preparing gifts again—

This time, Tyrell prepared a pair of wool gloves for Dumbledore—

I prepared a catnip ball for Professor McGonagall.

Mrs. Pomfrey is a barrel of 84 disinfectant—

Tiera had prepared some things for the other teachers or students, most of which weren't anything valuable.

However, only the Christmas gift for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher requires Tiera to specially craft it—

A purple amulet with gold trim—

Tiera crafted it into the shape of a spider lily brooch, which looked absolutely beautiful worn on the chest, perfectly matching Gilderoy Lockhart's aesthetic.

Inside, it is a talisman crafted by Tiera based on the "Sign of Vayne" from the Necronomicon.

Hidden within the amulet is carved an "old seal," along with the magical structure of the first three layers of spiritual walls surrounding the old seal—

This is a one-time use talisman; the key to unlocking the outer 30% of the mental barrier is in Tiera's hands.

Once the outer three layers of mental walls are activated, they can protect Gilderoy Lockhart's soul for twenty-four hours until they are broken by some powerful force.

Once the three layers of spiritual protection dissipate automatically or are forcibly broken, the amulet will automatically activate the ancient god's seal within—

Even if Gilderoy Lockhart's summoning ritual did go wrong, the ancient god's seal within the amulet should be enough to deal with the Outer Gods.

Humanity's relationship with Outer Gods is like that of text to a reader—

The viewer won't have any particular like or dislike for the text suddenly pushed to their eyes, but the text directly confronting the viewer will crumble due to cognitive contradictions—

The "Time" blessing of the Great Yith race is similar to a calibration procedure—

The mental wall constructed by the Heris potion is like building a virtual phone screen outside of written words, not only providing protection but also bringing things that others cannot understand to the same level as oneself—

The Mark of the Old Gods is essentially the underlying data of the crash program; when the Outer Gods become interested in the small world inhabited by the humans they come into contact with, the crash program is triggered.

To prevent further contact between humanity and the Outer Gods.

The most difficult part of the entire amulet was constructing the seal of the Old Gods. Tiera began studying its massive and complex magical structure last Christmas.

Tiera only began crafting the "Sign of Vain" after the "Parasite" was successfully created.

The old seal inside is now basically complete. Tiera used a precious phoenix tail feather from Lucius—

The remaining part of the mental barrier has been completed with two layers of walls, using scales that Tiera had pried off Slytherin to ensure maximum magical capacity.

If the plan goes smoothly, the "Sign of Vayne," which consumed many of Tiera's precious materials, can be used up perfectly.

Thinking of this, Tiera suddenly felt a faint pang of pain in her heart.

These "Seals of Wayne" are all worth money!
In the first few attempts at refining, Tiera was not particularly skilled at controlling the three types of flames of the "parasite," so she burned off a phoenix tail feather.

The chain reaction caused by the burning of the phoenix tail feathers destroyed nearly two hundred gallons of Tiera's materials—if you include the original materials used to forge the "Sign of Vayne," Tiera had already spent nearly five hundred gallons.

The only slightly better news is that Tom Riddle has hooked up with Gilderoy Lockhart.

There was no need for Tierra to steer the conversation; Gilderoy Lockhart, who had been snubbed and looked down upon at Hogwarts, automatically sought help from Tom Riddle.

Tom Riddle, though he hated Gilderoy Lockhart to the core, had no choice but to swallow his pride and accept the situation.

Tom Riddle and Gilderoy Lockhart were like dry tinder meeting a raging fire—

This description is a bit strange, but one is eager to be resurrected, and the other craves power. They barely exchange a few pleasantries before jumping straight into the topic of the ritual—

But of course, Tom Riddle wasn't so kind as to offer to analyze the ritual for Gilderoy Lockhart for free; rather—

Tom Riddle, taking advantage of Gilderoy Lockhart's incompetence, switched the altar of offerings and the altar of the officiant in the original double altar ritual from the Necronomicon that Tyella had told him about—

This was a remarkably ingenious calculation; if it weren't for Tom Riddle, Thierra herself might never have conceived of such a method.

Incorporate a simple three-line palindrome into the construction of the offering altar, and then connect the presiding altar with the same palindrome—

This way, Tom Reed could secretly switch the officiant and the sacrifice during the ritual without anyone noticing.

In other words, Tom Riddle needs Gilderoy Lockhart to recite the prayer. When the prayer reaches its final moment, Tom Riddle can manipulate the palindrome spell, making Gilderoy Lockhart, as the officiant, the sacrifice, while he becomes the officiant.

Tom Riddle is betting that Giddens Lockhart is truly ignorant and incompetent, unable to see through his own trickery.

Tom Riddle's gamble paid off; Gilderoy Lockhart was indeed incompetent, completely failing to see the anomaly in the ritual Tom Riddle had described.

If Gidrow Lohart hadn't used Legilimency to read Tiera's memories—

Or, to put it another way, if Tiera hadn't forcibly implanted her memories into Gilderoy Lockhart, Gilderoy Lockhart might have truly been deceived by Tom Riddle, thus becoming a stepping stone on Tom's path to resurrection.

But Tierra tricked Tom Riddle with Gilderoy Lockhart—

Tiera modified the original ritual based on Tom Riddle's analysis of the "summoning Yog-Sothoth" ritual, creating a new ritual configuration—

It is also a double-altar ceremony.

It was a dual-official altar, but without offerings.

In these types of summoning rituals, the higher the dimensional being being summoned, the more important the ritual becomes.

The purpose of rituals is to protect oneself.

The role of the sacrificial offerings is crucial—

In the ritual of "summoning Yog-Sothoth," the offerings were not intended to please Yog-Sothoth—

What do you, a three-dimensional being, have to offer to please the Gate of All Doors, the All-Knowing and All-Seeing One, the Unifier of Time and Space?
Even our Earth is but a speck of dust before Yog-Sothoth.

The true purpose of the offerings lies in defining the role of the officiant through the complex double-altar ritual structure.

The amount of power I receive is determined by the sacrifices I make.

If I don't offer sacrifices—

You can give me whatever you think is appropriate; I can accept any amount you give.

Because I'm home for the holiday today and have a lot of things to move, there might only be one update today.
