After the Ceremony
Morin, looking at the bronze gate in the distance, whispered to Lockhart next to him as they walked, "Lockhart, it is said that Kamar Taj's most precious treasures, which have been guarded for thousands of years, are stored inside."
"I didn't expect that one day I would have the opportunity to enter here. Have you decided what you want?"
After hearing this, Lockhart shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet. The Sorcerer Supreme said that I can only take one, so I'll see what's inside before choosing."
"Kaecilius, what about you?" Lockhart asked Kaecilius beside him.
"Same as you, let's see first." As he said that, Kaecilius quickened his pace with anticipation, as did Lockhart and Morin.
Soon, Master Bane led the three to the bronze gate and then said, "Inside is the treasure chamber of our Kamar Taj."
"It's not for me to go inside. You guys go ahead. Someone will receive you. The Sorcerer Supreme is also waiting for you inside."
The three of them nodded and walked toward the bronze door.
Click! Click!
As they approached, the bronze door seemed to sense something and slowly opened.
After the three of them entered, they saw an extremely spacious hall with a staircase at the end. Following the stairs, they could see the second and third floors.
In the hall in front of them, they could see with the naked eye that boxes of different sizes were placed around them—some big, some small, some long, and some wide.
Inside, there were all kinds of magic items, potions, and even magic books.
At the same time, the three of them felt a large amount of energy fluctuations—some as fierce as flames, some as gentle as running water, and some as void as space.
The intersection of various energy fluctuations with different attributes made the three of them feel a little stressed while being fascinated.
"Three Sorcerers, you can call me Val. Now, please choose the items you want."
"After the selection is completed, I will take you to see the Sorcerer Supreme."
At some point, a Sorcerer wearing a gray robe stood in front of them and spoke solemnly to them.
"Okay, Master Val," the three of them said, then looked at each other, spread out, and each picked out the treasures they needed.
Lockhart glanced briefly, walked to the nearest box, and looked at it silently.
What came into view was a katana and shield.
Lockhart sensed that the sword and shield exuded a strong aura of flames. It seemed that the previous owner was definitely a Kamar Taj Sorcerer or warrior who specialized in fire attributes.
After walking a few more steps, Lockhart saw a dark blue ball of light that exuded the aura of thunder. He felt it was a magic weapon that amplified the power of thunder.
However, it shouldn't be of much help to him, but with the quality of this magic item, it might be of some help to Thor, God of Thunder.
With his thoughts turning, Lockhart continued to move forward, observing the various magical items placed in the boxes.
Later, Lockhart saw spears, staffs, robes, armor, and even crowns that exuded a lot of other attributes.
Suddenly, Lockhart saw a red Sorcerer's cloak.
If he guessed correctly, this should be the magic cloak of Doctor Strange in the future.
Seeing this Sorcerer's robe constantly swaying, it looked full of spirituality, and he nodded secretly. It is a good treasure.
But it didn't help him much.
Afterward, he continued to wander around and met Kaecilius and Morin in the middle, but both parties nodded and continued to look for the magic items they wanted.
It can be said that there were so many precious magic items in the treasure house that Lockhart was dazzled by them.
Unfortunately, he could only choose one.
After walking around the hall, Lockhart found that there was no magical item that particularly interested him, so he set his sights upstairs.
Glancing at Kaecilius and Morin, he found that they were still looking at various magic items.
Then he followed the stairs to the second floor.
Tread! Tread! Tread!
Following the sound of slight footsteps, Lockhart walked to the second floor.
The lobby on the second floor was somewhat similar to the lobby on the first floor, but there were also many differences.
The similarity lay in the large number of boxes placed around, but the difference was that while the first floor was mostly filled with magic items, the second floor was filled with books.
The magic power fluctuations emitted by each book were different—some revealed the aura of light, while others were dark and evil.
Others had no magical aura, but if you looked at them slightly, you felt as if someone was whispering in your ears, which made people feel uneasy and weird.
Lockhart shook his head to clear away the uneasiness in his heart.
Walking forward, he silently looked at the magic books floating in the boxes.
"The Dark Tome of Chthon (Fake)"
"Bloody Sacrifice"
"The Book of Demon Hunting"
"The Ancient One"
"The Origin of Runes"
Lockhart looked at a large number of magic books, and just the titles of the books made him feel excited.
What was in front of him was either a forbidden book or extremely precious magical knowledge.
Especially the book "The Origin of Runes" made Lockhart, who had been studying runes, excited, and he even had the idea of picking up this book.
But soon, Lockhart pushed the thought to the back of his mind.
He hadn't finished reading all the magic books in the library yet, so he decided not to make any decisions on his own until he finished reading them.
Immediately afterward, Lockhart walked among the boxes, looking at the magic books or items inside.
Suddenly, Lockhart stopped and looked at a burgundy magic book placed in front of him, frowning slightly.
For some reason, he felt a slight call or resonance from inside.
The name of this magic book was "A Preliminary Study of Chaos Magic."
At this moment, Lockhart suddenly felt someone standing behind him.
He quickly turned his head, a trace of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
"Sorcerer Supreme!" Lockhart said in surprise.
"Don't worry about me; continue picking out the items you want." Seeing Lockhart's surprised expression, the Ancient One waved her hand.
Looking at the Ancient One Sorcerer in front of him, Lockhart had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and then said tentatively, "Sorcerer Supreme, there are so many items and books collected by Kamar Taj."
"It makes me dazzled. Do you have anything to recommend?"
Hearing Lockhart's question, the Ancient One showed a half-smiling face, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I see that although your physique is average, the magic power in your body is quite pure, and your mental strength seems to be quite good."
"However, the rune power in your body is a bit messy. There are runes, the runes you mentioned, and even other powers mixed in. Although it seems good, it has no core. You probably haven't decided on the next direction of your practice yet."
Lockhart fell silent after hearing what the Ancient One said.
Indeed, he had researched a lot. He had been studying the magic system of Kamar Taj, and the wizard's magic system in the Harry Potter world had not fallen behind.
Runes and ancient runes, as the keys to the two major magic systems, had been studied in more depth.
He also wanted to integrate the two, but found that his current level of knowledge was not enough.
He could only continue to study.
Therefore, his practice was a bit messy. He had gone through two rounds of transformation through his own magic power, practiced the magic of Kamar Taj, and also practiced the magic of the Harry Potter world.
Whichever one was easier to use, he used it.
Kamar Taj's magic system relies too much on the power of Vishanti. It has obvious advantages, but more disadvantages.
Although the magic system in the Harry Potter world is not as powerful as the magic in the Marvel world, its potential is not weak.
Therefore, his plan is to use the magic system of the Harry Potter world as the foundation, absorb the essence of Kamar Taj's magic system, and fill it in.
Build a new magic system.
But he certainly couldn't do it alone.
Therefore, he only laid the most basic foundation, which was to introduce the power of meditation and runes.
Later, he hoped to use the wisdom of all the wizards in the Harry Potter world to deduce it together.
This was his core purpose in promoting the new magic system.
With his thoughts turning, Lockhart nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, Master Supreme, do you have any good suggestions?"
Then Lockhart heard the Ancient One speak directly.
"Your magical bloodline is quite interesting. This book, 'A Preliminary Study of Chaos Magic,' should be helpful to you."
