Hogwarts: Starting with full Unforgivable Curses

Chapter 62: An outrageous refinement task

"Pounds can be exchanged for gold, and gold plays a vital role in the entire wizarding world. Whether it's making potions, practicing alchemy, or even learning some magic, it's all used."

Therefore, Dylan was not surprised that British pounds could be exchanged for gold galleons.

So when it comes to refining spells, the achievement system can directly accept pounds or gold, without having to rely on gold galleons to redeem the number of refinements.

For Dylan, it will be much more convenient.

So after thinking about it, Dylan decided on the spell he wanted to refine, and instead of directly using gold galleons to exchange for the number of refinements, he tried to exchange it using pounds.

[News]: Is it true/not true that £100000 will be spent on refining the curse "Avada Kedavra"?
The moment Dylan saw the system pop up, his eyes lit up. Pounds could really replace gold galleons and be exchanged for the number of intensive training sessions.

However, before he could be happy for a moment, Dylan's eyes went dark after seeing the amount of money he had to spend.

"How much? How much do you say?"

Dylan rubbed his eyes and looked at the system panel again.

However, the glittering string of zeros once again stung Dylan's eyes.

"One hundred thousand Gringotts... Bah, I'm so angry that I'm confused."

Dylan stared.

"One hundred thousand pounds, and Gringotts can still exchange it for twenty thousand gold Galleons. You asked me to refine a spell for you, and it's fine if you asked me for ten thousand gold Galleons, but you actually asked me for a full hundred thousand pounds??"

Is this an achievement system or a pay-to-win system?!
Dylan's mouth twitched.

It seems that the most cost-effective way is to use Galleons to offset the cost of the refinement spell.

With a helpless sigh, Dylan spent 10,000 gold galleons.

"Could it be possible that they could build me an Avada Italian Death Cannon?"

[Message]: You have spent 10,000 gold galleons and opened the refinement panel of "Avada Kedavra". Please check the refinement task.

Seeing the prompt that popped up from the system, Dylan narrowed his eyes and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I spent money to refine the spell, but instead of telling me what the spell was refined for, I'm asked to check for some refinement tasks."

He pointed at the magic wand again and looked at the panel prompt for the system update.

------

[Spell to be refined]: Avada Kedavra

[Character Features to be Unlocked]: Killing Intent and Burning Heaven
[Fine-tuning Task Opened]: Please cast the Killing Curse on the same living being forty-four times. You will unlock the characteristics of the spell and complete the spell refinement.

------

Dylan narrowed his eyes.

"You were so happy to take my money, but why didn't you explain to me in advance that if I wanted to refine the spell and unlock its features, I actually had to complete a quest?"

He gritted his teeth and wanted to use four ten-shot Avada attacks on this system to get a big bite.

"How can I complete the task?"

But the money has already been spent, and it's stuck halfway. It seems that this task must be completed even if it is not finished.

With a turn of his eyes, Dylan had several directions.

"This mission doesn't specify that I have to cast the Killing Curse forty-four times on anything, but since it's marked as a living object, it's okay if I cast the Killing Curse on a toad, right?"

As long as he could confirm this, he could go to the Forbidden Forest, find an eight-eyed giant spider, and cast forty-four killing curses.

Or he might just catch a toad or a mouse, or even a mosquito or a fly.

Otherwise, he could use the Transfiguration Charm to create a living creature and then use the Kedavra Curse on it... "I can try this, but whether I want to enter the Forbidden Forest or use Avada Kedavra, I have to be fully prepared to avoid being discovered."

After practicing Avada Kedavra, Dylan had spent 10,000 gold galleons but gained nothing, so he suddenly didn't want to practice other black magic anymore.

God knows what kind of tasks those dark magics will give him.

Maybe the task of practicing the Fierce Fire Curse is to let him release the Fierce Fire on Old Deng ten times.

After thinking about it, he decided to spend another 10,000 Galleons to practice a transformation spell.

[Message]: Yes/No, spend 10000 gold galleons to refine the spell "Transfiguration"?
Because the Transfiguration spell has a wide range of coverage, it is not a spell in the simple sense.

So far, Dylan has only mastered the seventh-level Transfiguration Spell, but with Professor McGonagall's generous help, he is steadily moving towards the eighth level.

Of course, even Professor McGonagall couldn't claim to have completely mastered Transfiguration.

Dylan still needs some effort to fully master this spell.

[Message]: You have spent 10,000 gold galleons and opened the refinement panel of the "Transfiguration Spell". Please check the refinement task.

After spending another 10,000 gold galleons, Dylan now has more than 74,000 in his hands.

He didn't feel any physical pain, but just watched the number decrease rapidly, which was not enough for him to cast a few spells.

This made him, for once, feel the urge to make money as quickly as possible.

"But how can I find the time to make money? Besides learning spells, I also have to consider going to the Forbidden Forest to try actual combat, and by the way, find some materials for researching potions."

There are so many things to do every day.

So making money...

"Leave it to my two shameless parents who are already an old married couple but still dream of having a world of their own every day."

Instead of working hard to be a first-generation rich, it is better to be a second-generation rich who can mobilize funds at will.

"I'll write a letter soon. I need them to get up and start working right away. As for my brothers and sisters, once I finish my studies and return, it won't be a problem for them to live a few more decades. They'll have plenty of time to give birth to me later."

It’s not enough to just urge my parents to work. What kind of business acumen can two ordinary workers have?
If you expect them to invest at will, you will lose all your money sooner or later.

Therefore, Dylan had to tell them the general direction, or at least do some business that was sure to make a profit.

"This needs some further planning. Forget it. I'll think about it tonight and send the letter tomorrow."

Dylan shook his head, not thinking about it for the time being, but looking at the system panel.

------

[Spells to be refined]: Transfiguration spell

[Character Features to be Opened]: Instantaneous without lag
[Fine-tuning Task Opened]: Please use the Transfiguration spell on Professor McGonagall once. You will unlock the properties of the spell and complete the spell refinement.

------

"..."

Dylan looked at the task of refining the spell and the corners of his mouth twitched.

“What the ***???”

Do you dare to be more outrageous?
Let him use a Transfiguration spell on a true master of Transfiguration - Minerva McGonagall, a professor at Hogwarts?

Why not just let him attack Dumbledore directly?!
