Hogwarts: Starting as a Serpent Demon

Staring with wide, round eyes, he curiously examined Victor.

The flames in the sky had just dissipated when countless phantoms of the dead came down from the horizon, flowing like a river over Witt. Each dead spirit would scatter a bit of starlight as it passed by Witt, and eventually, these little by little gathered together to form a black rhombus-shaped stone.

Resurrection Stone, a legendary item, summons a dead wizard to fight for you.

The wizard's health and mana remain the same as before death, but cannot be restored.

There is no cooldown time, but it consumes a huge amount of mana.

The resurrection stone is one of the most powerful items in the entire game. It can summon the wizard or even the boss that the protagonist once defeated to help him in battle.

You can be summoned again immediately after dying without cooldown.

The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of mana and requires a lot of mana replenishing items, but as long as you farm some mana-boosting potions, this problem is not a problem at all.

That's how Witt is designed. If you're willing to spend more time farming various potions, fighting the BOSS will be much easier. If you don't want to waste that time, you can directly fight the BOSS to challenge yourself.

However, this item changed after it came into being.

The ancient and modern wizard Werther can summon, but he can only summon wizards with weaker magical power than himself to fight.

The amount of magic a summoned wizard needs to consume is equal to the amount of magic the wizard possesses.

For an ordinary person, this limitation could be quite troublesome, because your magical power is insufficient, and you can only summon a wizard of the same level, not those powerful legendary wizards to fight for you.

But Victor is different. Once he gets another gold achievement, he can unlock a second battle slot. Then, by combining the magic of the young Serpent Demon and the young Albus, Victor can summon a legendary wizard from history to fight for him.

The young Serpent Demon and the young Albus, though their combined magical power could rival that of a legendary wizard, would still be no match for a legendary wizard in a real fight, even if it were two against one.

This is a qualitative difference.

The Serpent Demon has entered its growth stage and broken through to the second stage. The amount of magic stone powder required for upgrading has increased exponentially, but the attributes that can be added are not as many.

More importantly, in reality, attributes and combat power do not increase proportionally.

Wizards need sufficient knowledge to convert magic into combat power.

Previously, even though Witt possessed Dumbledore's immense magical power, he couldn't defeat Dumbledore; at most, he was stronger when bullying weaker opponents.

Now things are different. With the resurrection stone, the fully-powered Witt can summon a legendary wizard from history to fight for him, allowing his abundant magic to come into play.

Although he can't catch up with Voldemort in terms of knowledge in the short term, once the second battle slot is activated, Witt will easily surpass Voldemort in terms of magical power.

Witt had originally estimated that he would need to be in fifth grade, until Serpent Demon reached the third stage, before he could rival Voldemort. But now, with the Resurrection Stone...

Once the second battle slot is activated, he will possess power comparable to Voldemort by the end of his third year at the latest.

In comparison, Albus the Phoenix seems like an extra bonus.

just kidding.

If we're talking about the card that Witt wanted most, it would actually be Albus.

After the Phoenix Albus bloodline advances to the second stage, it can be reborn from the ashes and can be perfectly resurrected once after death.

This is far more powerful than the petrification spell of the Serpent Demon.

Witt thought regretfully that if he had drawn Albus in the first place, he would have two lives now.

What a pity, what a pity.

Witt lifted Albus the phoenix, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

"Master," the serpent demon swam onto Vittor's shoulder and asked with extreme vigilance, "who is he?"

Although Albus is now a chubby little chicken, looking harmless, the Serpent Demon could clearly see the golden flames that filled the sky just now.

A formidable rival, a lifelong rival.

The Serpent Demon felt his position was threatened.

"Keep your little schemes to yourself," Witt said irritably. "Albus is our companion, and from today onwards you are his teacher. Remember to teach him well and don't hold back, understand?"

"Hello, teacher." Albus greeted the Serpent Demon very politely.

But the Serpent Demon didn't like him at all; he thought this little fat chicken was even more annoying than James.

Albus didn't seem to care. After greeting the Serpent Demon, he introduced himself to Venda and James.

He quickly built a good relationship with the two of them.

Only the serpent demon, perched on Witte's shoulder, kept a watchful eye on Albus.

They were not at all puzzled by Albus's performance.

"Albus, come here quickly." Witt picked up the magic stone powder he had just drawn and called out affectionately, "Here, eat this and grow up quickly."

"Master!" The Serpent Demon's tone was full of resentment. You should know that before this, Witt had never shared any of the magic stone powder with anyone, not even a single bottle.

It all belongs to him alone.

Now, this wretched fat chicken actually dares to eat his magic stone.

The serpent demon's eyes were filled with murderous rage.

"Stop glaring."

Witt reached out and grabbed the Serpent Demon, pouring all the Philosopher's Stone powder into Albus's mouth, saying, "Today is Albus's birthday, this is his birthday present. From now on, the Philosopher's Stone will be given to whoever behaves well."

"And Wenda and James, I want to apologize to you. I was too weak before, so I could only prioritize supplying the Philosopher's Stone powder to ensure my own strength and safety."

"Now that the environment is safe, I will distribute the Philosopher's Stone Powder to you on time for all your hard work. As for the Philosopher's Stone Powder I owed you before, you'll have to wait a little longer. Once I have the power to fight Voldemort, I will repay you double the amount of that Philosopher's Stone Powder."

Although the summoned animals will obey him, Witt cannot be too biased. As the number of people increases, some rules must be established in advance.

Rewards and punishments must be measured.

Chapter 71 His thick skin doesn't matter.

Hogsmeade Railway Station.

Today is the official start of the school holiday, and most students are saying goodbye to their friends. Only Harry looks at Hogwarts with some reluctance.

To be honest, he really didn't want to leave if he could.

If only Hogwarts allowed students to live on campus during the summer holidays.

“Harry”.

Victor took out a bottle of potion, walked over, and put it in Harry's hand.

"Here, take this. It's my latest improved euphoric potion. Once you open the bottle, the potion will slowly evaporate, and even if the other person is angry, they will involuntarily become happy."

"I think I can be of help to you."

After delivering the medicine, Witt left, leaving a bewildered Harry wondering what Witt meant.

Actually, Victor felt a bit guilty, since Harry hadn't offended him. But Victor, for the sake of a gold achievement point, repeatedly tried to sabotage Harry.

Witt felt really bad about it.

Hopefully, this bottle of euphoria will make Harry's summer vacation a little better.

Once again on the train home, Witt gazed at the scenery rushing past outside the window, smugly making plans.

He has already obtained the Ravenclaw crown.

The Slytherin pendant is in the Black family ancestral home, which contains a house-elf named Kreacher and many portraits, especially the portrait of Headmaster Black in the Headmaster's office. His portrait can travel between the ancestral home and the Headmaster's office.

We need to be careful around him, in case he's seen and tells Professor Dumbledore...

This is definitely a big problem.

The Hufflepuff's Golden Cup requires venturing deep into Azkaban to retrieve the key information from Bella's mouth.

The sword of Gryffindor only appears when a person with a righteous heart is in danger.

"Do I have justice?" Witte asked himself.

No.

I'm a Slytherin, how could I have such a thing?

We'll figure something out later. If all else fails, we can ask the house-elves in the Hogwarts kitchens; they should know where the Gryffindor sword is.

The train ride back felt faster than the one that came. The only troublesome thing was having to queue to get out. There were so many people going home for summer vacation, and Victor waited a long time before it was his turn.

"Aunt Mei?"

Witt looked at the person who came to pick him up and asked curiously, "Where's my grandfather?"

“He twisted his back while shoveling lawns yesterday and is bedridden, so he asked me to come and pick you up.”

Why are you empty-handed?

Aunt Mei looked to be in her sixties, wearing a long red dress and with her hair up in a bun.

Although he looks old, his temperament has been well preserved.

It is said that he served in the British Navy back then.

Grandpa York went to America to pan for gold and got into trouble. It was Aunt May who went there to extradite him.

After just one glance, Grandpa York never remarried.

She also used the money she saved from the gold rush to buy a farm in Aunt May's hometown.

Anyone could see what he meant, but Aunt May has a husband and a happy family life.

York is a man of pride; he wouldn't break up a couple.

Fortunately, May's husband died five years ago, and Witt remembers York drinking a whole bottle of wine in celebration.

As the alcohol took effect, he actually decided to confess his feelings directly.

Fortunately, Witt hit him with a baseball bat, knocking him unconscious and preventing a tragedy.

You go and confess your love to someone whose husband just died; isn't that just asking for trouble?

We should at least wait a few months.

After that, Victor didn't know what happened, but York never mentioned confessing his feelings again. Although he was very attentive, he just couldn't bring himself to break through that barrier.

Witt tried to assist him several times, but all his efforts came to nothing.

Since his grandfather was useless, Witt could only let it be.
