From Azkaban

The mana shield on the ribs was successfully engraved. After the first operation, the effect was perfectly as expected and it was in good condition. There were no problems after being maintained for a few days.

Also because of the experience gained from engraving the mana shield, plus the improvement brought about by the advancement of the visualization method, the engraving speed of the rapid healing on the heart is much faster than that of engraving the mana shield.

It only took Locke ten days to complete the engraving this morning.

"Hu~~~"

In a cell that didn't look like a prison cell at all, Locke was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a serious expression.

"It's a heart issue. I hope nothing unexpected happens."

Carefully feeling the trajectory of the magic he had personally engraved on his heart, Locke made up his mind after making up his mind, and dispersed the isolation layer wrapped around his heart, allowing the magic power in his body to flow into his heart.

"Bang!"

The moment the magic power surged in, Locke's heart, which had been beating steadily, began to beat violently as if it had been injected with a stimulant.

"Hiss!"

The reaction caused by the abnormal beating of his heart was quickly fed back to Locke's brain through the nerves. Feeling the stabbing pain and panic in his heart, Locke clenched his teeth.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The magic power was rapidly pouring into the magic track engraved on his heart. Unlike the slight feeling in his ribs, Locke felt that he didn't need to sense the magic power at this moment. Just relying on the feedback from his body, he could clearly feel the magic power flowing through his heart.

As the magic power continued to pour in, the beating of his heart became louder and louder. If someone stood next to Locke at this moment, they would definitely be frightened by the beating of his heart like a drum.

"Dong! Dong! Dong~~"

Faced with the pain in his heart, Locke gradually adapted to it and no longer paid attention to it. He closed his eyes and waited quietly for the final result.

Soon, after about a minute, the sound of the heartbeat began to gradually fade away.

Finally, as the magic power flowed into the last track, the magic power in the magic operation track engraved on the heart successfully connected with other magic power in the body and began to enter a cycle. Locke's second passive magic "Rapid Healing" was successfully developed!

"Hu~~"

Feeling his heart suddenly become much stronger and the magic power flowing through his heart, Locke exhaled and a smile appeared on his face.

“Come and try the effect”

After the passive magic is developed, the first thing to do is naturally to try the effect of the magic, which is also a trial run to see how the magic works after installation and to make sure there are really no problems.

"Silence the mana shield for now."

After actively silencing the mana shield that was in effect, Locke raised his hand and produced a dagger, which he slashed across his left forearm without blinking.

"........."

The moment the dagger passed, Locke, with his eyesight that grew stronger as his body grew stronger, clearly saw his skin being easily cut, but before he could take a closer look, the skin that had just been cut healed immediately.

The dagger quickly slashed across his forearm and stopped in mid-air. Locke stared at his left forearm, which had not changed at all, and calculated in his mind the time it would take for the rapid healing to take effect.

"Just like the mana shield, it's almost instantaneous. As soon as the blade passes, the rapid healing begins to take effect and completely heals the cut part."

Well, the effect and healing speed of the rapid healing effect are so fast that Locke didn't feel anything unusual in his body.

Not to mention the pain, Locke didn't even feel the coolness of the blade as it passed through his arm. Looking at the blade, there was no blood on it.

The reason why there was no blood was not because the knife could kill people without leaving any blood, but that the wound had healed before Locke's body could react to bleeding.

"It takes almost instantaneous time to take effect, and the healing intensity is also very high. It should be because my physical strength and magic power level are very high."

Locke let go of the dagger in his hand and let it return to its original shape. He was very satisfied with the rapid healing effect.

"The rapid healing recovery, the passive physical defense of the mana shield, and the improvement of the visualization method have made me almost immune to all magic related to the mind and soul. It is truly all-round and has no blind spots."

Volume 1: Chapter 37 I Don't Want to Be a Second Generation G Hehe Weird

Locke discovered through testing himself that he was almost immune to mental and soul-related methods. The testing method was also very simple, which was to release the corresponding spell on himself.

Neither the Imperius Curse nor the Confusion Curse have any effect on Locke now.

Because after practicing visualization, Locke's mind and soul have been integrated into the Yin-Yang fish respectively.

Therefore, when the magic falls on Locke, it will be directly blocked and shattered by the Yin-Yang fish in his consciousness space, and will not be able to touch the mind and soul inside the Yin-Yang fish at all.

In addition, the corresponding magic was cast by Locke, and he did not hold back at all when casting it. So considering that his spellcasting strength far exceeded that of ordinary wizards, Locke was sure that he was almost immune to soul and mind magic.

As for how Locke cast the spell on himself, it was very simple. With his control over magic power, it was not difficult for him to control the flight trajectory of the magic after it was released.

.............................................................

With the development of rapid healing completed, Locke has made another big step forward on the road of passive magic. The experience and growth he gained also made him more confident about the next engraving of "Sian Westin".

The difficulty of engraving on the spine is not much less than that on the heart. The various nerves distributed on the spine and the functions they carry are even more complex than those of the heart.

Such a complex area, coupled with its much larger size than the heart, makes it even more difficult to engrave than the heart.

This is why Locke chose to leave it for the last to be engraved. After all, what he wanted to do was not to directly replace the mechanical spine like the original "Sian Westin", but to tinker with the existing spine.

"Don't blindly praise yourself before you succeed."

Without thinking too much about it, Locke has gradually begun to develop new views on this kind of things since he embarked on the path of magic.

"Take a break, it's a good opportunity to go up and take a look."

After estimating the completion time of the rapid healing, Locke chose to work hard in seclusion, so he hasn't been to the top floor for some time.

"I don't know if the things arranged for them have been done."

That was the last time Locke went up before he went into seclusion. He explained the situation to everyone at that time and asked them to organize and summarize the alchemy knowledge in everyone's minds and record it in a book during his seclusion.

The recorded book was created by Locke using Transfiguration. In addition, Locke also designated alchemy as the topic of discussion for them during his retreat.

The reason why Locke suddenly turned his attention to alchemy was because he thought of a question through Voldemort's Dark Mark.

That was the problem of communication between him and Sirius and his crew after leaving Azkaban.

This is a problem that must be solved, because in Locke's plan, it is best not to gather in the early stage. After all, it is foreseeable that everyone will be wanted by then.

Although with Locke's strength and these elite former Death Eaters, he could be completely fearless of the Ministry of Magic's combat power, but Locke did not intend to engage in a fierce armed confrontation with the Ministry of Magic at that time.

After all, a mass prison break by the Death Eaters would inevitably cause great panic in the wizarding world. In that case, if the option was to launch a high-profile armed confrontation with the Ministry of Magic and ultimately defeat the Ministry of Magic, it would inevitably cause greater panic and turmoil.

If the situation gets worse, it might even lead to Dumbledore coming out again and leading the Order of the Phoenix to fight against him.

Given Dumbledore's reputation in the wizarding world, as well as the family backgrounds and networks of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, if Locke really went against him, he would basically be nailed to the opposing side of the British wizarding world.

In that case, probably only some dark wizards and pure-bloods would be willing to come to Locke's camp. This situation would undoubtedly be the worst for Locke, and would also bring a devastating blow to his subsequent plans.

After all, what he was going to do was to unify all wizards, rather than standing completely against most wizards from the very beginning.

What he pursues is to move forward on the path of magic, not to become the second G Hehe Monster.

If he left a deep-rooted image of a big devil in the minds of most wizards right from the start, then when he stood up and spoke again in the future, would the wizards believe him or not?

Therefore, in the early stage, Locke's plan was for everyone to keep a low profile and disappear for a while, both to deal with the storm calmly and to use it as a means of development.

He needs to learn more knowledge to continue to verify and develop the various ideas and means needed to prepare plans in his mind.

Sirius and the others also need time to recover, take back everything they once had, restore their previous networks, develop suitable new members, etc.

During this period, it is best not to gather, which can greatly reduce the risks.

But even if we don't gather together, it is certainly not advisable to completely cut off contact, so communication is necessary.

Among the existing means of communication in the wizarding world, the most common one is to send messages by owl, and the slightly better ones include fireplaces or the Patronus Charm.

In Locke's opinion, none of these methods would work because their efficiency was too low. What he wanted was a method that was both safe and secretive and could enable real-time communication.

The magic world also has means of real-time communication, but such means are basically only used in important occasions.

Just like when Grindelwald ran for president of the International Confederation of Wizards, wizard gathering places around the world unfolded a huge curtain to broadcast the election live.

However, there was no memory of that kind of magic in his previous incarnation. Locke speculated that that kind of magic was most likely a large-scale magic that required complicated preparation and was not something that a single wizard could master.

So this type of magic cannot be considered a conventional means of communication in a strict sense. In addition, his predecessor and Sirius did not know this type of magic, so Locke had no way to think of a way to use it.

Unable to improve the existing methods, Locke could only find a way on his own.

It just so happens that Locke is not completely without means in this regard. When he was erasing the Dark Mark for the Death Eaters, Locke had carefully investigated the situation of that thing.

The Dark Mark, a curse magic, has basically communication functions besides the most basic torture function.

Not only can Voldemort use it to summon Death Eaters from a distance, but Death Eaters can also pass information to Voldemort through the Dark Mark.

Coincidentally, this magic mainly works on the soul, and Locke can be called an expert in the soul and mind.

So Locke got an inspiration from this, which was to first create a suitable carrier through alchemy, and then he would improve and develop a magic that connects the mind and soul based on the means of the Dark Mark.

Then the magic will be fixed on the carrier. In this way, as long as the user injects magic power into the carrier to activate the magic, he can choose to sink his consciousness into the public consciousness space constructed by the carrier and the magic.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to achieve real-time communication that is both safe and private regardless of distance?

Volume 1: Chapter 38 I came and I left

On the top floor of Azkaban, as the relationship between the two sides was confirmed, Locke completely stabilized the environment here into the appearance of a circular hall, and the cells of each parliament member were also transformed into more comfortable rooms.

The orange-red flame lotus floats quietly in the air above the hall, keeping it pleasantly warm at all times.

In addition, the Dementors were restricted by Locke from entering the top floor, so the top floor now no longer looked like a prison cell at all.

Oh, it’s not completely gone. On the left side of the hall, Bella’s cell is still the same as it was before.

......................................

"Sirius, what are you going to do after you get out? I remember that you are the only male left in the Black family, right?"

In the warm hall, the members of the parliament who had gotten up early were discussing with each other in twos and threes. As the two closest relatives, Sirius and Rodolphus had been getting closer and closer recently.

"Yes, that's right. Ever since my brother disappeared, I am the last one."

Sirius glanced at Rodolphus, his former enemy and brother-in-law.

They were once enemies, but now, both of them are under Locke's command, becoming comrades in the same camp, fighting together towards the same great ideal.

For the sake of that great ideal and the adult he was loyal to, Sirius was willing to put aside his past grudges and hatred, and work together with Rodolphus.

"Regulus, it's a pity for him indeed."

Thinking of this, Rodolphus glanced to the side, where three people were having a heated discussion, one of whom was his younger brother, Rabastan Lestrange.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of. He's just a coward."

Sirius felt both heartache and contempt for his younger brother, because he thought Regulus was a coward without any sense of honor.

And his final fate was consistent with his choice. He died in obscurity in an unknown corner. Sirius would not feel happy about it, but he would not feel sad either.

Rodolphus didn't care about Sirius's words, he just added a few words in passing. Seeing that Sirius had brought up the topic, Rodolphus brought up another one.

"After we get out, the first thing we need to deal with is our wands. Have you thought of a solution?"

The importance of a wand to a wizard is self-evident, especially for a wizard like Rodolphus who cannot cast spells without a wand. Without a wand, he may even be worse than an ordinary Muggle.

"It's not a difficult task. The Ministry of Magic's wanted list is limited to the UK, but wand shops are not limited to the UK. I can just find a way to leave the UK and go to other countries."

How could Sirius not have thought of this problem? The solution is not difficult. Just like he said, changing countries can solve it perfectly.

After all, they were just escaped prisoners from Azkaban, and they had no place in the International Confederation of Wizards, let alone the Ministries of Magic in other countries.

"It's the same as what I thought. I have also made plans to stay abroad for a while. This will be a good opportunity for you to collect information about the magic world in other countries and see if I can find new partners who are willing to join."

"Well, that's not bad, but I don't plan to go outside. Britain also needs people. We have been here for so many years, and we need time to understand the current British wizarding world. My Lord has said before that the British wizarding world is the foundation. Only after it is stabilized will we be able to look forward to the wizarding world of other countries." Eagle

Following Locke's ideas, Sirius' horizons gradually broadened and were no longer limited to the British wizarding world.

"Yes............"

Rodolphus was about to respond when he suddenly caught sight of Locke coming up the stairs. He swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, stepped quickly toward the round table in front of him, and grabbed the large book on the table.

"Sir, you are so busy that you forgot."

Rodolphus was the first to rush to Locke with the big book in his arms, and with a big smile on his face, he handed the book to Locke with both hands.

"This is the alchemy you requested before. It is all organized in it. Please take a look."

Rodolphus's movements were too fast, and the others only reacted when he handed over the book. Looking at Rodolphus's attentiveness, they could only spit on him in their hearts and quickly walk behind him.

"Well, that's good. Everyone, sit down and let me take a look first."

Locke raised his hand to take the big book from Rodolphus' hand, flipped through it and walked towards the round table.

“Your reaction is pretty quick.”

The people standing in front of Locke made way for him, and Sirius walked to Rodolphus' side, looking speechless.

"That's natural, Sirius. You should understand that you need to fight for many things yourself."
