Chapter 285 The thief from the future(3/4)
The reason why the surprise inspection he applied for this time was in vain was because someone within the Ministry of Magic secretly tipped Lucius off.
Watching the people from the Ministry of Magic disappear completely, Zuo Si finally lifted his invisibility and walked out from an inconspicuous corner. He smiled and joked: "Why, has the Malfoy family fallen to this level? To be treated in such a way?
."
"When did you come?" Lucius was instantly surprised.
Because he was completely unaware of Zuo Si's arrival, nor was he aware that magic like apparation was taking effect within the confines of his family manor.
"Not long after I arrived, I happened to see such a scene. To be honest, I think your previous description of the influence of the ancient pure-blood family was a bit exaggerated. At least so far, you can't even change some of the decisions of the Ministry of Magic. This
It really makes me feel very disappointed." Zuo Si said meaningfully.
There is no doubt that these words instantly made Lucius's originally pale face turn red. He gritted his teeth and defended: "It's all because of Arthur Weasley, the shameful traitor! Although he himself is a complete idiot and fool! But
The Weasley family is still quite influential in the wizarding world. This guy has won over a large number of people with the help of his family's glory and his status as a supporter of Dumbledore."
"Look, this is the stupidest part of your pure-blood theory. It puts a large number of mixed-blood and Muggle-born wizards against you.
The basic principle of politics is to win over as many allies as possible while reducing the number of enemies.
But you are doing the opposite and trying to go against the laws of historical development, and you are destined to fail.
Forget it, that’s not what I came here to talk about.”
Zuo Si shook his head slightly, then waved his wand and quickly created a projection of a seal scroll in the air, and said bluntly: "Someone stole something from the treasure house where I bought the house not long ago, an extremely precious and
A dangerous scroll. I hope you can use all the connections at your disposal to help me investigate its whereabouts."
"Scroll?" Lucius narrowed his eyes and showed a hint of curiosity.
"Yes, a scroll. If you can help me find it, I can grant you a wish, no matter what it is." Zuo Si promised calmly.
"No problem, leave it to me."
Lucius agreed without hesitation, without even knowing what was recorded in the questionnaire.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Because in his opinion, no matter how precious this scroll is, it is far more valuable than the promise given by the young man in front of him.
After Zuo Si left, the master of the Malfoy family carefully entered the treasure house and took out a lot of things left over from the Voldemort era from a very secret place, including a notebook that was one of the Horcruxes.
p>
After this surprise inspection, Lucius has realized that his home is not as safe as he imagined, so these things must be disposed of as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if you are really found out, you will be sent to Azkaban and imprisoned for a few years, which will be a light sentence.
Of course, dealing with so many dark magic items is not an easy task.
Maybe the black market over at Knockturn Alley can eat up some of it, but no dark wizard would dare to accept some of the most dangerous items even if they were given away for free.
And the diary from Voldemort's student days is obviously one of them.
Since he didn't know the secret of the Horcrux at all, Lucius simply believed that the diary was blessed with some kind of black magic that could absorb life force, and he didn't know that it contained a fragment of the soul.
In line with the principle of recycling waste, he planned to use this thing to create some chaos and give some color to Arthur Weasley, who had embarrassed himself during this search operation.
Soon, an insidious plan was hatched.
But Lucius didn't notice that there was a pair of disproportionately large eyes in the darkness that could see everything clearly.
He is none other than Dobby, the house elf of the Malfoy family.
……
At the same time, Zuo Si, who returned to his residence on the other side, finally found the time to clean up the letters he had accumulated during his absence, which totaled hundreds of letters.
Most of them are polite greetings from well-known wizards around the world, as well as some problems and problems encountered in making magic scrolls and magic storage items.
All in all, it is an exchange of knowledge and technology.
Zuo Si, without exception, answered these letters from a very professional perspective and sent replies.
Especially the reply to the master alchemist Nicolas Flamel, which filled several pages of parchment, so much so that the owl responsible for delivering the letter could not help but make a cooing sound of protest after seeing it.
The last thing left are the letters between the twin brothers and Hermione.
Especially the former, who was so mad that he would send a letter every other day urging Zuo Si to go to the Weasley family's house, "The Burrow", otherwise all their hard-earned money would be completely confiscated.
As for Hermione's letters, most of them are introductions to her holiday life, and there is a hint of longing between the lines, as well as a small complaint about never getting a reply.
The diary was even more naked and unabashedly encouraging: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and reply! You must know that among the many women you know, Miss Granger is one of the few who is sane and very rational.
.Although you may be a little young, you can slowly cultivate your relationship first."
"Shut up. If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."
Zuo Si rolled his eyes angrily, and quickly picked up a pen and wrote two replies.
One of the letters was to Hermione, explaining why she failed to reply in time.
The other letter was to the twins, telling them that he would personally visit them in a few days.
After finishing all the letters, Zuo Si calmed down and prepared to complete a difficult alchemy project in the last few days before the start of school, that is, to create a magic stone of his own.
However, unlike the one made by Nico Flamel, he planned to add some craftsmanship from the Alchemy Stone, a sub-artifact from the Faerûn continent.
Of course, this is not easy.
Because although secondary artifacts do not require the participation of gods and divine power, their requirements for spellcasting level are very high.
Combined with the different spellcasting methods and magic operation rules in the world, it is very difficult for even Zuo Sisi, who has a high creator level, to successfully create it.
Among the many tedious steps, filling the inside of the magic stone or alchemy stone with magic mercury is undoubtedly the most difficult one.
After all, this highly concentrated and liquefied substance not only contains amazing power that can change the nature of matter, but can also enhance the effect of healing potions, turning them into a resurrection potion that can resurrect the dead.
What's more, according to Zuo Si's design, this work, which combines the highest alchemy skills in the two worlds, should have the ability to continuously create magic mercury.
The only good news is that he now has many of the best gems on hand that can be used as raw materials and carriers for making magic stones.
As for energy, there are still some remnants of the floating city's seal that were absorbed last time and have been saved, which should be more than enough to make magic stones.
First, Zuo Si needs to select those with the best magic tolerance from a large number of the finest gems, and then break them into powder in a non-violent way.
Then it is condensed back together through alchemy, and abundant life energy is injected into it, turning it from a dead object into a semi-crystalline body exuding the bright light of life.
You don't need to ask to know that most of this life energy comes from the goblins raised underground in the mage tower, and part of it is the contribution of the large number of orcs who died when the plague raged.
When all this energy is poured into it, the crystal begins to show a dark green light that can affect the mind.
After anyone sees it, they can't help but feel a strong desire for possession in their heart.
This is the instinctive attraction of powerful life energy to living things.
But if it only achieves this step, it is at best a relatively precious life gem that can bring extra life and health to the wearer.
The work to be done next is the key to turning it into a magic stone or an alchemy stone.
"Using gems as the shell, life force as the root, and huge magical energy as the catalyst. Now, let me see what I can create."
With the murmur, Zuo Si instantly released all the energy stored in his body, wrapped the life gems placed on the test bench and continuously pressurized them.
When the pressure formed by the energy reaches a certain critical point, the energy in the outer wall of the gem finally begins to liquefy and slowly flows inside the crystal.
The whole process lasted a full twenty hours.
When Zuo Si felt that his energy was about to run out, the texture of the gem itself finally changed.
It no longer always shines like before, but becomes an inconspicuous black stone.
But through the turbid and blurry translucent areas on the surface, you can vaguely see the liquid magic mercury flowing inside.
Not only that!
The black patterns and spots on the gem itself, which look like dirt, are actually a very powerful magic circle.
If the magic mercury inside is used up, the holder can activate these magic circles, replenish energy by killing other creatures, and continuously produce new magic mercury.
But for Zuo Si, it obviously doesn't have to be that troublesome.
He only needs to activate the chosen ability given to him by Talona to massacre the enemy indiscriminately, and then inject the "temporary life" formed by inhaling his body into it.
In addition to generating unlimited magic mercury, this magic stone can also protect the holder from all instant-death magic effects.
As for making life-extending potions, turning other metals into gold-like weight and luster are not worth mentioning at all.
Because the resurrection ability combined with magic mercury and healing potions is something that is enough to drive everyone in this world crazy.
According to the description in the notebook provided by Ogma, the God of Knowledge, this mixed potion can produce an effect similar to the Nine Rings Divine Art - Complete Resurrection.
Although it is not like the complete resurrection technique, which can resurrect a person out of thin air without any corpse, it still requires at least a small piece of remains, but it is enough to make up for the biggest shortcoming in some people's hearts.
For example, Snape who fell into endless regret because of the death of his beloved, or the Dumbledore brothers who fell into guilt because of the death of their sister, or the savior who is extremely eager to see his parents in person - Harry.
Porter.
Zuo Si really wanted to see how these people would change when those tragedies that were destined to become a fait accompli suddenly had room for change.
Similarly, with this magic stone that can bring people back to life, he will soon surpass all well-known wizards and become the most influential person in the entire magical world.
In the past, if Zuo Si created such a treasure, he would definitely try his best to hide it.
