Chapter 300 Cedric Has Not Returned Yet

Ariana did not persuade Fleur, and after they looked at each other, the number of their gems returned to zero at the same time.

Ariana, who exchanged for [Magic Refining], finally understood Mrs. Potter's distraction at that time.

This qualitative leap in sensory experience is truly fascinating, as if one has taken an intelligence-enhancing drug and become smarter and omnipotent.

At this moment, Furong's mouth corners were as hard to suppress as AK.

She found that she had found a big bargain.

Click on the details page, and the introduction above is - a spell card model of the Patronus Spell that has been optimized to a certain extent.

It looks very ordinary.

But after exchanging it, she realized how extraordinary it was and how valuable this "certain degree" was.

It is nothing like an open-source standard spell card. It is just a three-dimensional magic circle engraved in the mind that allows people to cast spells without the need for a wand.

At the same time, it is also a method to cultivate oneself.

You don't need to use a magic wand to cast the Patronus charm over and over again. Feeling happy and joyful will increase the power of the Patronus.

You only need to close your eyes and meditate on its structure, and repeat the action of outlining its trajectory in your mind. The guardian spirit will be elevated and its appearance will change, getting rid of the influence of the acquired realm and gradually returning to its innate state, approaching its [true self].

No wonder its name is [Image of My True Self].

Moreover, this is not the only improvement for her.

She is also a fairy, and the patronus of fairies will be integrated with the elves like Harry.

To some extent, this created an effect of 1+1 being greater than 2 for her.

First, her magic power increased.

The Green Fairy's magic power becomes purer when she meditates because she is connected to the lively nature of the Fairy World.

The increase in the magic power of the Red Demon Fairy is caused by the spiral phenomenon of the magic power of the Demon Fairy's order and the magic power of the magical beast's disorder.

The image of the true self, which completely looks inward, constantly analyzes oneself, and improves magic power through self-improvement, is a real surprise to her.

It completely exceeded what she had learned in the magic fairy world.

However, the increase in magic power is only secondary.

The most important thing is that the magic fairy device is also a silhouette of the self. The shadow of the [true self] becomes clearer, and she feels that the relationship with her magic fairy device is getting closer.

If she hadn't covered it up, she would have even experienced the same glowing phenomenon that had happened to Harry before in public - her body would glow for no reason and her magic power would increase dramatically afterwards.

If she continues like this, perhaps it won't be long before she can liberate the magic fairy weapon again.

The other warriors and heroic spirits also noticed Furong's expression.

Harry didn't care, he had already spent all his gems.

Lily, who had 240 gems, didn't care about the usefulness of the [Image of My True Self] with 20 gems. She just opened it and took a casual look at it before withdrawing her attention and continuing to plan what to exchange for.

The same is true for Krum, who has 144 gems, and the Prewett brothers, who have a total of 66 gems.

Only Riddle, who also had only 20 gems, had the idea, but the next second he began to wonder if this was a deliberate act by Fleur to mislead him.

So after he read the details of [Image of My True Self], he clicked on [Shadow of Death] which had the same price and was obviously also from the Spell Card World.

"Compared to the Patronus Charm, the Killing Curse is more suitable for me." After this thought flashed through his mind, Riddle made up his mind.

The biggest lesson he learned in this mission was that he did not handle his relationship with Cedric well, which led to him being blocked from external information. He was also too confident and did not leave the Magic Fairy Device immediately after being blocked to obtain external information.

This leads to one step slow, every step slow, and ultimately failure.

And now is another opportunity to maintain a semblance of harmony.

Cedric has 30 gems left.

Now all he had to do was lay the groundwork for Cedric and see if this was really a surprise and not a trap set by Fleur.

The sound of gems falling rang in my ears, and the number on the pop-up window returned to zero.

Riddle closed his eyes and sensed, locking onto the spell card that was glowing with the green light of death in his spiritual world.

It seemed as if it had been there a long time ago, and even upon closer inspection, the aura that had given it shape came from himself.

But Riddle knew that it did not exist before the exchange.

If the spell card of the Killing Curse that he constructed based on his relatively profound knowledge was carefully sketched by a failed art student, then this card that suddenly appeared out of nowhere was at least the ingenious work of a visiting professor at an art academy.

Even an unartistic farmer can tell the difference between the former and the latter.

Next to it, the original Killing Curse Spell Card, which was constantly collapsing due to the appearance of a spell card of the same nature, also proved that it did not exist the previous second.

Riddle had to bow his proud head.

He had known from the beginning that there was a huge gap between him and the God Behind the Scenes, but he still firmly believed that if he investigated carefully, he could at least sense the changes taking place in his spiritual world and sense a trace of the breath of the God Behind the Scenes.

But reality proved that he still overestimated himself. Now, by meditating on this spell card called [Shadow of Death], he could improve the level of the Killing Curse. This discovery should have surprised him, but it only made him smile reluctantly.

"It seems that's not a good choice." Lily, noticing the decadent feeling emanating from Riddle, misunderstood that Riddle had exchanged the wrong item.

She has these 240 gems, and she has already made a decision on how to use the allocation.

40 gems' [Addition of Magical Properties (Customizable)], 30 gems' [Magic Refining] x3, 70 gems' [Human Crucible].

The attribute she was going to add was 'love', for the same reason that Riddle had chosen 'snake', to make it more suitable.

She redeemed [Magic Refining] three times because she had already redeemed it four times before, and [Magic Refining] can be redeemed a maximum of 7 times. She wanted to see what it would be like when the magic was refined to the limit.

As for the [Human Crucible], it was her new discovery and should be a product from the Spell Card World.

She chose it because she was best at Potions.

Potions is a valuable subject.

It is also a subject that only wizards can master.

If a Muggle were given a Potions book and the correct ingredients and taught how to toss dead flies and daffodils into a pot and boil it over a fire, the result would be a nasty, possibly poisonous, soup.

The wand, a small wooden stick, serves as a stirring spoon and is indispensable in the process of preparing potions.

The reason for this is that the medicinal properties of some materials used as potions can only be extracted, stimulated, and mixed in the pot by wizards.

For example, the formula of the polyjuice decoction: lacewings, leeches, the horn of a two-horned beast, two-eared grass, sap grass, and the skin of an African tree snake, does not make any sense at first glance.

But in fact, each material is carefully selected and indispensable:

The lacewing carries the meaning of interweaving two qualities, the leech can absorb the essence of a material and add it to other substances, the horn of the two-horned beast symbolizes relative duality, the two-eared grass carries the meaning of being connected to another person, the sap grass symbolizes the mutability shown during transformation, and the skin of the African tree snake is a metaphor for shed skin and new skin.

The magic ritual of [Human Crucible] is to refine the human body into a crucible for cooking potions. It has the ability to extract the 'medicinal properties' of the materials, store them in the body, and refine potions inside the body.

It's a bit like the Fairy World relies on the omnipotence of magic, directly using magic to simulate the "medicinal properties", thus deriving the meaning of the power of magic potions.

At the same time, the [Crucible] body can also turn freshly-made potions into spell cards. Although there is an upper limit like summoning cards, you can completely choose precious and difficult to refine potions that take too long to refine and turn them into spell cards as the base for other potions.

All in all, this is an offer that a Potions Master cannot refuse.

And some potions have very unique effects that cannot be achieved through other means such as spells (such as Felicis).

If she completed this ritual, she could help her son better, such as granting him good luck through the Lucky Elixir, or injecting the healing power of purified distilled water into his body to create a pseudo-immortal body.

(“Only 70 gems for this?” Seamus was a little incredulous.)
("For ordinary wizards, it may only have the function of turning potions into spells," Hermione rolled her eyes, "the steps and temperatures required to make potions in the body based on the medicinal properties alone need to be re-derived.")
("And spell cardization is just portable. Although it is difficult to make an eternal potion [a potion that will automatically multiply in a suitable environment after leaving its source. Any potion can be eternalized], it just takes more time for a potion master like Mrs. Potter.")
(Baqir countered, “What do you mean by just portable? That’s hard to say.”)
(This means that the wizard does not need to maintain a suitable environment and expend magic power to create a magic eye.)
("The difficulty of making eternal potions lies in maintaining a suitable environment. For potions like Dietary Essence, it is better to make new ones instead of spending a lot of money to maintain them. Only large potion factories are willing to do this, and they can still make profits while maintaining a balance between income and expenditure.")
(Hermione, who had just been showing off her knowledge like a peacock, shrank her neck.)
(She thought it was because of the recent SPEW that Baqir had developed feelings for her.)
(Little did she know that the not-so-useful "Human Crucible" she denigrated was actually her boyfriend's masterpiece, and he was secretly happy about Lily's choice.)
After Lily started the exchange, brothers Krum and Prewett also found their target.

They adopted a steady exchange strategy, choosing products that they and others had exchanged and that had non-ambiguous descriptions.

Krum exchanged for another [Magic Circuit·100 Gems].

Because of it, he did not fall behind Harry and Cedric, whose magic power increased at an exponential rate due to the accelerated progress of the release of magic fairy instruments.

He is now ready to press his advantage.

The remaining 44 gems were exchanged for 4 times of [Magic Refining·10 Gems] to improve the quality of magic, 4 units of [Pure Magic], to further increase magic.

The Prewett brothers still exchanged for their younger brother Fabian and chose 6 times of magic refinement. The remaining 6 gems were all exchanged for 6 units of [Pure Magic], just like Krum.

(Ron said that Krum's choice was too low. If it were him, he would definitely choose [Magic Eye]. It would be so cool to cast spells with the eyes, especially a disarming spell that glows red.)
(And Ron had a reason for doing this, because he could emit magic light from his eyes, and Harry thought of Superman - he knew about it from reading Dudley's comics.)
(When Lily found out, her maternal love overflowed, and Snape, who lived in the Muggle world - Spinner's End, immediately ordered a large number of Superman comics.)
(Harry, due to training, had no time to watch, so Ron got the chance.)
(Ron then realized that these cartoons that didn't move were actually the same. No, they were even better!)

(He is now a fan of Superman and fantasizes all day that he was actually picked up by his parents in a meteorite crater.)
Now, except for Cedric who is still in the Spell Card World and has not returned, all other warriors and heroic spirits have been exchanged, and there is not a single gem left.

Without Cedric coming back, they had no choice but to stop the exchange and leave the settlement space.

And Cedric's side.

"Is that so? I am a man, I have no children with Gettler, and I put him in prison?" Dumbledore's eyes flickered, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the unfamiliar self.

(Grindelwald looked at the strange yet familiar woman who was angry with him, and his heart unexpectedly felt strangely warm.)
(At the same time, Dumbledore coughed guiltily.)
(But the next second he became confident and said that he had done nothing wrong in his treatment of Grindelwald.)
(The Grindelwald in their world is not a hero, but a radical and somewhat evil reformer.)
(He had no selfish motives and had never even visited Grindelwald in prison.)
(Baguirre, who had overheard Dumbledore's thoughts, had a strange expression on his face. He began to understand why the movie version of Grindelwald did not keep Dumbledore's secret from Voldemort.)
(The Dumbledore in his world, the world of the novel, did at least write letters and occasionally visit the prison.)
(Perhaps because Dumbledore in this world has a hotter temper, between 0 and 1, the probability belongs to 1, he is the dominant one in the relationship between the two, and he is more decisive in resisting seeing Grindelwald.)
(It is normal for Grindelwald, who never saw his beloved again until his death, to feel resentful.)
"Grindelwald in our world is not a hero. It is said that the death of Professor Dumbledore's sister Ariana is also related to him." Cedric defended his headmaster.

He did not consider it an offense to Dumbledore to bring up Ariana's death.

First of all, Ariana has been resurrected.

Secondly, Ariana’s identity as a heroic spirit was not, and is not, a secret.

After all, Riddle, aka the young Voldemort, had a past that was almost entirely known.

(Bajir looked at Dumbledore, who was frowning like a volcano about to erupt, and thought that Cedric was still confused.)
(Ariana's death itself is a mystery. Albus Dumbledore, Aberforth, and Grindelwald didn't know whose spell killed her.)
(Grindelwald hoped it was he or Aberforth who did it.)
(Albus Dumbledore wished it were him.)
(Aberforth hoped it was either himself or Grindelwald.)
"Is that so?" Dumbledore's brows relaxed. "No wonder he was so cruel to Gettler."

"But Aryan changed his gender, so his fate is different. This is also..."

She was still haunted by what Cedric had said.

She supported Grindelwald's reforms not only because of love, but also so that her younger brother Aryan could go to Hogwarts.

She really couldn't accept that Grindelwald, her husband, became the murderer of her sister in another world.
