Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 78 The Three Unforgivable Curses

Descending the ladder, Jerry soon found himself on the soft, green lawn.

Looking up and carefully surveying the space inside the box, a sigh escaped his lips:

"Don't rub the needle!"

A glowing sphere floated above the space, illuminating the entire box. It was probably a magical item, similar to a small sun, created using alchemy in conjunction with an illumination spell.

In addition to a green lawn, a small area has been specially designated on the ground for planting many precious medicinal herbs.

Some of them he had seen in "A Thousand Kinds of Miraculous Herbs and Mushrooms," while others he didn't recognize at all.

Next to the medicinal herb field is a reservoir with crystal-clear water. Trees are planted around it, making the whole place look like a small villa with a huge yard.

Walking along the green lawn into the villa, a classic English villa that is very common in the wizarding world, with some Victorian style.

The door opens into a long foyer with a purple carpet on the floor. Stepping through the carpet into the main hall, you are greeted by an exquisite fireplace and various pieces of furniture with carved patterns.

Clearly, Professor Quirrell belongs to the relatively wealthy class of wizards.

The villa has two floors. The first floor mainly consists of the entrance hall, the main hall, the kitchen, the dining room, and the magic laboratory.

The magic laboratory, or more accurately, the potion-making room, contains a complete set of valuable potion-making equipment, as well as a large cabinet storing various potion-making materials.

In addition, there are various pre-made magical potions that Jerry may or may not recognize.

It seems that although Professor Quirrell is not a potions master, he is quite skilled in potion making.

Indeed, wizards who enjoy studying black magic are generally quite skilled at potion-making.

The second floor mainly consists of three bedrooms, a living room, and a bathroom.

After a thorough search, Jerry found Professor Quirrell's stash of one thousand Galleons and a notebook containing Professor Quirrell's research on dark magic on the entire second floor.

What surprised Jerry the most was that the notebook contained Professor Quirrell's notes on learning the three Unforgivable Curses: the Cruciatus Curse, the Imperius Curse, and the Killing Curse.

In addition, there are the extremely difficult-to-control Fiendfire Curse and some curses that are not particularly common.

It was a very fruitful experience.

Back in the main world, Jerry never had to worry about money, because with his magical abilities, making money wasn't too difficult for him.

However, in the wizarding world, everyone knows magic, and he is still a novice magician. It would be quite troublesome for him to obtain a large number of Galleons so easily.

He had considered using capital and financial means to make money.

However, on the one hand, he is not very proficient in these things, and on the other hand, his age, time, and ability do not allow it.

As a first-year wizard, he now focuses his main energy on learning magic and cannot be separated from school.

Moreover, arbitrarily disrupting the existing rule system without sufficient strength and support will inevitably lead to unfavorable consequences.

Then he thought of the eight-eyed spider in the Forbidden Forest, the venom of the giant eight-eyed spider, which was a precious item worth 100 gold gallons per pint.

However, considering that the giant spiders in the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" textbook are marked as having a danger level of XXXXX, and given their large numbers, he decided to postpone his decision for now.

Although Harry and Ron escaped unscathed from the onslaught of countless giant spiders in the movie, that was because they were the main characters.

The danger level of XXXXX is on par with that of a fire dragon, meaning that even an elite wizard would be doomed if they encountered it alone and their reaction wasn't quick enough.

Although the eight-eyed giant spider is not as strong as the fire dragon, it possesses intelligence comparable to that of humans, lives in groups, and its venom is extremely deadly.

Therefore, finding a thousand Galleons in Professor Quirrell's box is still a great help to Jerry in his immediate predicament.

Of course, compared to a thousand Galleons, Professor Quirrell's Dark Arts Notebook is actually much more valuable.

Galleons can be earned if one is willing to put in the time and effort, but Galleons cannot buy the three Unforgivable Curses, the Fiendfyre, and other dark magic, as well as Professor Quirrell's insights into these advanced spells.

With Professor Quirrell's notes on dark magic, he believed that even without guidance, he could gradually learn and master them by simply staying focused and studying on his own.

The Cruciatus Curse is used for interrogation, the Imperishable Curse for mind control, the Killing Curse for killing, and the Fiendfyre Curse for area-of-effect attacks and clearing. Mastering these four dark spells would undoubtedly boost his magical abilities significantly.

If I encounter Abomination again, I probably won't even need to fight it head-on; a single Imperius Curse will be enough to take care of it.

"This was definitely a worthwhile trade!"

Back in the Room of Requirement, Jerry put the small box in his pocket and felt that his plan to ambush Professor Quirrell, despite some dangers and flaws, was truly worthwhile.

Without taking risks, there would be no overnight riches!

After Halloween, thanks to the extensive publicity from the Slytherin wizards, everyone knew that their Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was Quirrell.

He was so frightened by a giant monster that he was knocked unconscious and seriously injured. He only survived thanks to Jerry Carmen, a first-year Slytherin student.

Therefore, all the wizards at Hogwarts now know that in addition to the famous Harry Potter who joined the first year, there is also a very outstanding young wizard named Jerry Carmen among the first-year students of Slytherin this year.

Jerry Carmen's name gradually spread from his original status as a first-year student to the attention of other upperclassmen.

They may not know who Jerry Carmen is, but at least they know the name.

And so, November arrived.

After November arrived, the weather turned extremely cold. The mountains surrounding the school were shrouded in a gray haze, covered with ice and snow, and the surface of Black Lake was as cold and hard as quenched steel. Every morning, the ground was covered in frost.

During this time, Jerry also studied magic knowledge like crazy. Apart from attending classes and eating, he spent most of his day in the library searching for various materials.

Or you could go to Snape to ask about some magical principles you don't understand, or discuss with Hermione some extensions of magic and applications of spells.

At night, he would secretly go to the Room of Requirement to practice and study dark magic.

Or occasionally, I would take some time to enter the small villa in the box space and try to practice making some potions according to some potion recipes I found in the library.

In short, Jerry felt that every day was incredibly fulfilling, that he was learning new things, making progress, and becoming stronger every day.

Aside from the astonishingly high rate at which the Little Red Star is consumed, everything else is excellent.

However, he had accumulated more than 50,000 Little Red Stars before coming in this time, so even if they were used up quickly, it should be enough for him to last until the end of this semester.

The editor has already scheduled the book for release this Friday, and there will definitely be a massive update then. I hope all the readers will support it! Also, thank you so much to "Uncle Jerry" for the daily donations. He's practically the helmsman of this book now, so touching! The only way I can repay him is with a massive update after the book is released!
