"God?"
After Salazaar heard it, he murmured to himself, as if he thought of something, his eyes were filled with surprise, he was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice.
"Lockhart, tell me in detail."
"Mr. Salazaar, my companions and I went to explore a magical site." Lockhart stretched out his wand, touched his eyebrows lightly, and pulled out a silver-white thread.
Then it moved gently through the air, and a thin mist gradually rose along with the wand's trajectory.
Then, a scene changes.
In the underground space of the building, he, Kaecilius, and Morin faced the dark believer Lawrence.
Salazaar frowned when he saw this.
He seems to be able to perceive the authenticity of the picture, and also perceive the evil power emerging from Lawrence through the memory picture.
But he didn't speak and continued to listen silently.
"At that time, my companions and I saw him calling Dormammu, the god of darkness, and the other party really came."
The next moment, the screen turned, and the dark believer Lawrence was seen kneeling on the ground, touching the ground with his hands, and chanting loudly.
"Dormammu, the great god of darkness, your loyal believer Lawrance offers you the sacrifice in front of you, begging for my Lord's gaze and breaking the seal in front of you."
"Acquire the power of the dragon bone and re-enter the world."
Immediately afterwards, Lawrence's form began to change, his eyes turned into a dark black, black threads appeared on his body and arms, and a large amount of dark aura emerged from his body.
Then
The screen jumped quickly, and as they entered the main hall, the three of them fought with Dormammu believers, and a large piece of crystal clear dragon bone flashed past.
Then the scene stopped abruptly.
Lockhart introduced quietly from the side: "Dormammu, who calls himself the God of Darkness, was powerful after he arrived, but he was expelled by me and my companions and finally left."
"And we also got our own trophy - the dragon bone!"
As he spoke, Lockhart waved his wand, and a palm-sized dragon bone fragment appeared.
At the same time, a huge wave of life and magic power filled the entire secret room.
Seeing this scene, the suspicion in Salazaar's heart slowly decreased. He had never seen this kind of thing before, but the abundant vitality in it could definitely be regarded as a priceless treasure.
It was worthy of being snatched by many wizards, and even his soul revealed its longing, telling him that this thing would do him a lot of good.
Lockhart should not lie to him about such a thing.
And it is obviously a memory. Even if it can be faked, it cannot be faked in a large way. At most, it will only be a small change.
In this regard, he is still somewhat confident.
"Mr. Salazaar, have you ever heard of the gods, or the dark god Dormammu, in your time?" Lockhart waved his wand again, retracted the keel, and asked.
In response to Lockhart's question, Salazaar was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I haven't heard of Dormammu"
"As for the other gods, they should be sleeping now."
Salazaar's muttering didn't seem to care that Lockhart heard it.
Lockhart's eyes lit up when he heard it.
Finally some useful news came out.
He knew that there must be major changes in the wizarding world thousands of years ago.
Previously, he discovered some problems when sorting out the titles of books in the Hogwarts library. (Foreshadowing in Chapter 41.)
For example, there was a problem in the third century AD, and not a single magical book remained.
There were a lot of profound magic spells created before BC and so on.
Even what he saw before him, the Horcrux left by Salazaar, the founder of Hogwarts, should be useful.
Therefore, he hoped that through the information gap, he could reveal something about something that happened thousands of years ago.
After all, Salazaar was the top wizard thousands of years ago, and he has a lot of information and experience in magical relics.
"Mr. Salazaar, can you tell us more about the gods?"
As he spoke, Lockhart took out a transparent glass bottle, which contained an emerald green powder the size of a fingernail, which was the light of life developed based on dragon bones.
"This is the price I am willing to pay. It is made from dragon bones. It can replenish a certain amount of vitality, strengthen the soul, and reduce the backlash of black magic. I call it the light of life."
Salazaar looked at the emerald green powder in the vial in front of him, and took a deep look at Lockhart, who seemed to understand what he was thinking.
After a moment of silence, the small glass bottle floating in front of Lockhart opened. The green powder inside seemed to be affected by another magical force and floated towards the Salazaar portrait.
Soon, the light of life disappeared into the portrait, as if it was being swallowed.
At this moment, Salazaar felt the satisfaction from the depths of his soul, and the feeling of soul exhaustion that had been alleviated by sleeping for many years disappeared.
Satisfaction and a hint of desire flashed in his eyes, but disappeared in an instant.
"Lockhart, I understand what you want, but given your current state, there are some things that we should wait until you break through."
"The only thing I can tell you now is that the water in the wizarding world is very deep. Many old monsters that should died may not be dead, and even the gods may not be dead!"
Hearing this, Lockhart was thinking crazily in his mind.
Dumbledore had told him before that the water was deep.
Slytherin also said similar things. Is there some kind of relationship between the two? What did Dumbledore know?
Do gods exist? Herpo is not dead yet?
While Lockhart was thinking, Slytherin's words came to his ears.
"Okay, Lockhart, we'll talk about the rest after you break through. Let's go. Let's talk next time we meet."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Then, he stretched out his wand and opened the portal to the underground palace. Lockhart stepped out and the portal disappeared in an instant, and the entire stone chamber dimmed.
but
This time, the Salazaar portrait did not fall into a deep sleep, but stared into the distance and fell into silence.
After a while, it seemed that nothing had been gained, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and he murmured to himself.
"There is still no news about the original body. Is he dead? Or is he also in deep sleep?"
"If ten years is not enough, then wait for a hundred years. If a hundred years is not enough, wait another thousand years."
"The time will come."
Slytherin Chamber of Secrets, Underground Palace.
Lockhart was sitting next to Snape on the futon in the middle of the underground palace, with a bottle of pale golden potion in front of him.
Lockhart looked at the scene in front of him and fell into deep thought.
he just got a lot of information from Salazaar about breaking through the bottleneck of magic cultivation.
Lockhart attaches great importance to absorbing the power of the source of latitude and improving his strength.
He obtained relevant information from Kamar Taj in advance.
On Kamar Taj's side, because they all took the route of relying on the power of Vishanti.
Most of them have no division of cultivation realm.
It's similar to Hogwarts, there are Sorcerer apprentices and official Sorcerer, but the others are not investigated in detail.
At most, they have different names according to different departments of Kamar Taj.
Just like the student and adult wizards here at Hogwarts, at most there are Aurors and the like at the Ministry of Magic.
In the final analysis, the reason is that although the number of Sorcerers or wizards in these two worlds is large, they cannot be said to be large-scale.
As for the magic systems, each has its own shortcomings, and is even a little deformed.
There is no need to say more about Kamar Taj. If you practice to the depths, if you are not lucky, you will basically become the devil's pastry.
As for the Harry Potter world, although it has endless potential, the practice system is becoming more and more rigid, producing fewer and fewer geniuses, and there are only a few well-known top wizards.
As for the research results, most of them are average.
It was as if the entire magical system of the wizarding world had been suppressed.
Thoughts flashed, and the last suggestion mentioned in "A Preliminary Study of Chaos Magic" appeared in Lockhart's mind.
He suspected that this was the advice given to him by The Sorcerer Supreme
Let him take the path of soul transformation, and this is exactly what he thinks.
The magic power undergoes two rounds of transformation, while the soul only grows through meditation.
Salazaar mentioned that the founder of Ravenclaw also underwent soul transformation.
Except for the somewhat weak increase in lifespan, the increase in other aspects is very good.
Most importantly, his intuition told him that soul transformation had great benefits.
After thinking about it, Lockhart made up his mind.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon in the middle of the hall, he drank the pale golden potion in front of him.
Close your eyes and concentrate, feeling the changes taking place in your body.
boom!
Just after drinking the magic potion, after it entered the body, it seemed as if something exploded or resonated.
The magic power in his body fluctuated rapidly, and Lockhart's mental power quickly suppressed it.
Immediately afterwards, a hot breath gradually spread into the blood vessels.
From the outside, Lockhart's entire body turned red, as if there was a furnace inside his body, constantly emitting a large amount of heat.
At this moment, Lockhart felt a burning sensation in his body, as if his whole body was on fire.
However, the soul controls the magic power that fluctuates in the body, keeps the heart clear, and carefully observes everything happening in the body.
Under the influence of the potion, he could sense that something in his body was growing.
At the same time, he found that his spirit had become extremely sharp, as if a single thought could control all the magic around him.
It may even give rise to the illusion that everything has changed in a single thought.
But soon, this illusion disappeared and the body surface returned to normal.
Lockhart opened his eyes, a trace of melancholy flashing across his eyes.
But then, his expression returned to calm, he reached out and took out a crystal ball.
In the crystal ball, a pale golden dragon shadow is walking around.
However, no breath came out.
This is exactly the power of the dimensional origin that Lockhart obtained before.
When he was safe, he immediately extracted the incomplete source power of the dimension, kept it tightly, and tested it repeatedly to prevent accidents.
Looking at this crystal ball, Lockhart held it in both hands, magic power surged out, and at the same time his mental power penetrated directly and began to absorb it directly.
In an instant, the original power of this incomplete dimension seemed to be attracted and poured into the body.
Buzz!
Having made the decision before, Lockhart immediately guided the power of the dimensional origin into his soul through his spirit.
For a moment, he felt as if his soul had been soaked in a hot bath, and the whole body was warm.
Then
"ah"
A sharp pain suddenly appeared from the depths of his soul, as if his soul was about to collapse.
But the next moment, a gentle energy flows into the soul, instantly healing and restoring, and the soul begins to grow faintly.
At the same time, deep in the soul, a heart-like sound beat slowly, as if it was gestating something.
Tear, heal, grow.
This feeling occurs again and again. As time goes by, the soul becomes stronger, tougher, and more sensitive at a speed visible to the naked eye.
And Lockhart felt that his soul was undergoing transformation, and something seemed to be gestating deep in his soul.
It's like the essence of the entire soul.
The thought flashed through his mind, and Lockhart could clearly feel that once this thing was conceived, it would be of great benefit to his soul.
Therefore, the power of the source of the dimension is directly guided to accelerate the birth.
Time passes minute by minute.
boom! boom! boom!
Lockhart could only feel the pounding sound like a heart in the depths of his soul, which was putting more and more pressure on his soul.
It seemed as if his strengthened soul was about to collapse.
finally
Buzz!
A feeling of relaxation, comfort, and joy radiates from the inside out.
A smile appeared on Lockhart's face unconsciously, and a faint purple-gold light emitted from his eyes.
Deep in his soul, a purple-gold phantom appeared. The image of the phantom was exactly a miniature Lockhart.
As if to illustrate, this is the soul within the soul, the foundation and essence of the soul.
At this time, Lockhart felt that his soul had been greatly improved, and at the same time, he seemed to be able to sense certain existences in the dark.
The next moment, a message appeared deep in his soul.
[Congratulations to the host for awakening the True Spirit Mark! ]
[The soul's ability to resist the erosion of the world has been improved again, and the restrictions on world travel have been further relaxed. ]
[You can enter the Marvel world or return to this world at any time. ]
[Note 1: As the host soul grows, the energy required to anchor the time node increases]
[Note 2: In order to prevent world erosion, the time spent in the two worlds must be the same, currently the longest is 365 days (can be explored at any time)]
