Chapter 96 The Joy of Harvest

It's a real shame about Professor Quirrell. If he could have calmed down and reflected for a few years, he could definitely have created some powerful modified creatures.

The problem was that Voldemort clearly didn't give him a chance, and he didn't care about his research at all.

The second card Professor Quirrell dropped featured a noseless face shrouded in thick black smoke.

Isn't this Voldemort? Why is he so weak now?

[Dark Magic Research (Blue)]

Spell Cards

After use, one gains some knowledge and research on dark magic from Voldemort.

+lv3 Black Magic

Used 1/1 time.

Note: Cannot exceed Black Magic level 6.

Note: Studying dark magic is risky; use cards with caution.

Look, look!

Voldemort's limited research was already comparable to Professor Quirrell's more than twenty years of dedicated study.

No wonder Voldemort looked down on Quirrell's stuff.

No, actually Ted was wrong.

After using [Professor Quirrell's Research on Magical Bloodline Modification (Blue)], Ted learned how Professor Quirrell embarked on the somewhat unorthodox path of magical bloodline modification.

Professor Quirrell is quite a genius when it comes to magical bloodlines and the creation of magical creatures.

Unfortunately, the decision-making was flawed, or rather, the wrong path was taken from the very beginning.

In fact, all of this was destined many years ago.

When Quirrell was still a student, he discovered a document about magical bloodlines in a cabinet next to an ugly wizard statue in a storeroom of the Room of Requirement; it was all destined from that moment.

That's right, the research data that initially sparked Quirrell's interest in the magical bloodline was left in the Room of Requirement by Voldemort before he graduated.

So much so that later, after hitting a roadblock, Quirrell chose to take a chance and go to Albania to find Voldemort, ultimately becoming the big tea table~

And is that Ravenclaw's crown on the head of that ugly wizard statue?

Forget it, Horcruxes are not something I can touch right now!

After using [Dark Magic Research (Blue)], Ted became even more certain of this.

From the tiny bit of dark magic research Voldemort obtained just from the cards, Ted had already discovered dozens, even hundreds, of terrifying dangers.

If Voldemort had made any mistake in studying dark magic, he wouldn't be alive today.

That was truly living on the edge!

Moreover, Horcruxes are the pinnacle of dark magic, a terrifying form of magic that involves the soul!

Let's leave the crown there for now and see how things go later!

After using two cards, Ted's bloodline modification reached level 2, magical biology reached level 4, and black magic even reached level 5, which is on par with his magic power level without external aids!

No wonder so many people pursue dark magic; does it level up that fast?

That's incredibly satisfying!

These two cards contain a wealth of memories and details about the experiments, which can be described as quite evil and bloody!

Quirrell's memories mostly revolve around magical creatures, while Voldemort's memories include experimenting on humans with dark magic!

The feeling was somewhat like watching "Unit 731: The Black Sun"...

If Ted hadn't had such a good grasp of his own mind, he might not have been able to sleep for many nights afterward.

It's clear that this road is not easy to travel.

Finally, here comes the highlight of tonight's harvest—the reward for the quest "Can I touch your magic stone? (Red)"!

Ted gained a lot of experience points tonight.

[Can I touch your magic stone? (Red)] rewards 1200 experience points, plus 300 experience points from [Challenge Game (Blue)], plus 200 experience points from [The corridor on the right-hand side of the third floor, right? (Green)].

Add to the 2500 experience points from the three giants, the 210 experience points from Cerberus, and the 1500 experience points from Professor Voldemort.

Just in terms of experience points, I gained nearly 6,000 experience points in this wave alone!

It's equivalent to what I've learned in most of this semester.

It really is true that murder and arson bring wealth and honor!

In addition, the quest also directly rewards +1 Alchemy, the purpose of which is currently unknown.

Ted had only read about alchemy in books and had never actually been exposed to it; Hogwarts did not teach the subject.

I heard that the Beauxbatons School of Magic in France teaches this, after all, Nicolas Flamel is French.

Egypt, one of the birthplaces of alchemy, also highly valued alchemy.

Finally, there's the red card that's a reward for completing the mission.

The card depicts a small, dark red stone, like a pendant, tied with a thin string.

There is also a blue magic mark on the small stone.

[Fake Philosopher's Stone (Red)]

item card

Wear: +lv2 Magic

Wear: +1 Alchemy

Wear: +2 Constitution

Wear: +2 Spirit

Wearing this item greatly increases the speed of health and mana regeneration.

Use: Up to 100 grams of base metal can be permanently converted into gold each month.

Note: This is merely a high-quality replica of a certain great alchemical product.

Ted's first reaction was: We'll never be short of money again!

Moreover, +2 Constitution and +2 Spirit directly amount to 4 important attribute points.

It also adds +2 magic power. That's truly awesome!

Ted discovered that this was also a piece of equipment, a necklace to be worn around the neck.

Ted carefully put on the special necklace, and then felt his magic power explode instantly.

"Thump thump thump~" Everything in the dormitory started to vibrate.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Earthquake? Earthquake!"

"Run!"

My roommate was immediately awakened by the loud noise.

Seeing that Anthony was about to run out the door, Ted quickly reassured him, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all your imagination, you're dreaming~ Sweetie~ Go to sleep~ Go to sleep~ Go to sleep~ Sweetie~"

He quickly used his psychic abilities to calm his startled roommates and get them back to sleep.

Each time magic power is upgraded, it brings about a phenomenon similar to a magic power surge.

However, Ted's magic level is already quite high, and with this sudden increase of lv2, the riot has become rather intense.

Magic level 5 + 1 magic wand + 2 philosopher's stones = level 8. What does that mean?

Only the most outstanding heirs of the oldest magical families can reach this level when they reach their prime!

That's a level that most wizards can never reach in their lifetime!

Ted dared to say that Voldemort was far inferior to him in his first year; he probably wouldn't have reached that level until his fifth or sixth year.

Of course, once Ted removes his necklace and wand, his magic level returns to normal.

Ted didn't yet know how the life regeneration effect was significantly increased, but the magic recovery speed was ten times faster—he could feel his mana rapidly replenishing.

Wuhu~ I should have enough magic power from now on!

……

At this moment, Dumbledore was observing the traces left by Ted's adventure, especially the scene of the exploding giant being roasted, which made him thoughtful.

Dumbledore knew about Voldemort's scheme to sow discord, but he couldn't help but overthink it.

A third-generation Dark Lord? Am I supposed to cultivate two generations of Dark Lords?

The next morning, my roommates were still complaining:

Anthony Goldstein: "I had a nightmare last night!"

Terry Boot: "What a coincidence? I had a nightmare too!"

Michael Corner: "I dreamt about an earthquake!"

Anthony Goldstein: "I dreamt about an earthquake too!!!"

The three looked at each other in shock.

Ted explained, "The three of you were having the same dream. Stop talking and go eat, eating is the most important thing!"

The students had already heard rumors during breakfast.

After all, you can't expect a group of Gryffindors to be low-key; that goes against their lion nature.

Therefore, many students in the auditorium had some vague information about last night's challenge.

At breakfast, a large group of people surrounded Ted and his friends, eagerly waiting for them to reveal some inside information.

At this point, Ron will transform into Hogwarts' famous orator.

"Do you know what's going on?" He slapped his thigh. "My leg's a bit inconvenient today, you all saw it, right? This is the injury I got while fighting the mysterious man!"

Jerry stuck a piece of cheese into his hand: "Isn't that the ankle you twisted when you fell?"

A murmur of laughter rippled through the crowd. Ron's face flushed slightly. "That was from when I twisted my ankle fighting the mysterious man! Do you want to hear more?"

Everyone quickly apologized, saying they had to get Mr. Luo's leg back on today!

I'm urging Ron to update quickly; I can't sleep at night!

Happy Labor Day!

There will always be a day off that fits this description.
