Golden Dragon Magic Brand
The Golden Dragon Magic Brand is a spell that Lockhart has been continuously researching and refining.
Originating from Voldemort's Death Eater mark, he exchanged it with Salazar to obtain the most basic magical structure and then continued to improve it.
What Lockhart is most proud of is that he has integrated the memory, mind, cognition, and soul magic that he understands and masters into it.
Lockhart's original body had in-depth research on memory magic; otherwise, he would not have been able to deceive the entire British wizarding world.
Building on that, Lockhart integrated the psychology and cognitive knowledge of his previous life, along with the mind, soul, and contract magic of Kamar-Taj.
It can be said that this Golden Dragon Magic Brand is the essence of his magical research.
Its most basic functions are communication, protection, and more.
At a more advanced level, just like Sitwell now, Lockhart uses the Golden Dragon Magic Brand to reshape the other person's perception, making them completely loyal to him.
However, this method has a great impact on the other party's mind, soul, and so on. It can be said to completely imprison the other party's potential.
So, Lockhart does not cast it lightly.
The Golden Dragon Magic Brand is not only powerful but also Lockhart's favorite spell.
It subtly influences the target's subconscious mind and cognition, making them trust Lockhart.
This effect is permanent, and nothing will change even if the magic brand disappears.
Looking at Sitwell in front of him, Lockhart nodded slightly and ordered, "Sitwell, your mission is, first, to use your position to send me important information about S.H.I.E.L.D."
"Second, continue to wait until someone from Hydra comes to help you unlock your memory. When that time comes, tell me everything you know about Hydra."
"Okay, Master," Sitwell replied enthusiastically.
Lockhart thought for a moment, stretched out his wand, and gently touched Sitwell's forehead again. A rune pattern flashed across Sitwell's face.
Lockhart continued to instruct, "The magic just now can block all memories related to the mission for a certain period. You can use it when necessary. Make sure not to reveal any flaws."
He had not forgotten Hydra's ruthless methods. In the original plot, to prevent accidents, many Hydra agents were repeatedly brainwashed and screened to ensure their loyalty.
Lockhart was sure that if he didn't use this method, Hydra would definitely conduct a screening process after capturing Sitwell to ensure that some traces were found.
When that time comes, it will be a real fight.
Alexander Pierce, the leader of Hydra, has even more methods.
Lockhart had not forgotten that Hydra, as a well-known villain organization in the Marvel universe, possessed numerous extraordinary powers, though not all were evident. Still, they had plenty.
As for their black technology, there was even more.
Perhaps, the Alexander Pierce he knows now is just a stand-in, which would alert the real one when the time comes, and that would be bad.
Therefore, when dealing with Hydra, he can't be impatient. He needs to take it step by step.
However, the underground base where the trap was set should also be dealt with, to show off his own strength.
Otherwise, they will keep targeting him.
In the afternoon, outside New York City, in a wilderness area...
At this moment, on the barren plains, five black cars were stopped side by side, and some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents got out of them.
The leader was none other than Phil Coulson.
A large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were holding instruments in various locations around, emitting red, blue, and green lights, as if they were recording or detecting something.
Not long after, a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent walked up to Phil Coulson and said respectfully, "Sir, we have detected a large number of cavities and signs of activity in the nearby underground. It should be an underground base. Do we proceed?"
Hearing this, Coulson shook his head and said, "No need for now. Just take notes. We don't need to take action today."
Upon hearing this, the agent nodded silently, stepped back without saying anything more, and continued to fiddle with the machine.
At this moment, Coulson looked down at the watch on his hand and waited quietly.
He had just met with Professor Lockhart this morning to follow the director's instructions, seeing if the two sides could cooperate to explore the root cause of this incident.
The result was as he expected.
The wizard professor had some information and was preparing to take action.
It just so happens that when they arrive, they can watch from the side to prevent anyone from escaping.
When Coulson heard this, he immediately understood what Lockhart meant.
This was probably because Lockhart wanted to show his strength to S.H.I.E.L.D. and other forces and prevent another missile siege.
Coulson understood this and nodded silently, waiting to discuss when to act.
Hence the current operation.
Soon, a sparkling portal quietly appeared in front of Coulson, and Lockhart walked out of it.
"Professor Lockhart, we have determined the location of the opponent's base. It is right here." Coulson held a nearby map in his hand, trotted up to Lockhart, and pointed at the red dot.
Lockhart glanced at the map and nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Then, noticing that Coulson wanted to continue speaking, Lockhart interrupted, "Coulson, please, just leave the rest to me. In a moment, I will hand over the captured people to you."
He then directly stretched out his wand and drew a few pale golden threads. After that, a rune pattern appeared and spread quietly around.
Magic - Detect Terrain!
At the same time, Lockhart closed his eyes slightly, feeling the feedback brought by the magic.
Soon, Lockhart looked up to the right. There was a huge space underground there. If he guessed correctly, it was the underground base Hydra was using to lay traps.
Seeing this, Lockhart tapped his toes on the ground, his magic power surged, and he jumped slightly, his whole body floating in the air for an instant.
When Coulson saw this scene below, his mouth opened slightly in surprise, and his eyes couldn't help but show envy.
As expected of a wizard—they could fly.
Then, under Coulson's gaze, Lockhart flew to the right and stopped on a flat ground 1 kilometer away.
At the same time, Coulson picked up the walkie-talkie and gave a serious order, "Operation begins, prepare to record!"
After finishing speaking, Coulson picked up a telescope and observed the next battle through it.
He was not stupid. This time, the other party's action had clearly angered Lockhart, and Lockhart also wanted to use this opportunity to teach them a lesson or deter other forces.
There might be quite a bit of movement.
This time, they just needed to finish the recording and do it well.
At this moment, Lockhart was flying in the air, looking at the flat ground below, a cold smile on his face.
However, in the next moment...
Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
