Chapter 56 The Terrifying Profits Of Improved Beauty Potions
Li Kai is not obsessed with the trophies in the trophy showroom. His ultimate collection goal is the entire world.
Since there is a magic spell on the trophy, forcefully possessing it will definitely attract the attention of the professors, so it doesn't matter if you give up temporarily.
A small impatience will mess up a big plan, and you must not lose a big thing because of a small thing.
In the days that followed, life at Li Kai College went as usual.
After several days, people realized that they had not seen Peeves for a long time.
During breakfast that day, a group of ghosts gathered together and discussed something in a low voice.
"Hi!" From the Gryffindor side, Hermione asked curiously: "Sir Nick, what are you talking about?"
Nick, who was almost headless, said with a solemn expression: "Don't you know yet? Peeves is missing! I haven't seen him for four days. This incident has made us even more panicked."
"Ha!" Ronald couldn't help laughing: "Can ghosts also panic?"
"Well," Sir Nick thought for a moment, "really not. Strictly speaking, we don't have the same feelings we had before we were alive."
"Where will Peeves go?" Hermione frowned, confused and said, "Has this happened before?"
"Never, especially Peeves." The fat monk passed through Ronald's body and sat at Hufflepuff's dining table. "Peeves would feel uncomfortable if he didn't play tricks on people for a day, but he hasn't appeared for four days now. We I've asked almost all the students, and not a single one has been teased by Peeves in the past four days."
"Where did Peeves go?" Harry thought hard and guessed, "Could he have been killed?"
Hermione rolled her eyes at Harry and said angrily: "Can you stop talking such nonsense? Peeves is dead and no one in the world can kill him! Even if you use the Death Curse on him, he won't." Feel any pain!"
At the Slytherin table, many people were also discussing the whereabouts of Peeves.
Draco asked Bloody Barrow with a pale face: "Will Peeves be killed by some kind of entity? They all say that Peeves is most afraid of you. You should know how to deal with him, right?"
This boy is not worried about Peeves, but is worried that there is something really ferocious in the castle that will threaten his own life.
Bloody Barro raised his chin and said: "Actually, I don't know how to deal with him. Peeves is indeed a special existence. He thinks he is a ghost, but in fact he is not a simple ghost. He is different from us. , and now he suddenly disappeared, I suspect he may have dissipated."
"If he dissipates on his own, then there's nothing to worry about? Right?" Pansy asked.
Bloody Barrow tilted his head and thought for a while: "Maybe, no one can be sure."
Li Kai always felt guilty when he heard everyone's comments. He thought for a long time and thought that maybe he could try to release Peeves.
He wanted to verify a question, that is, for things that have been collected and rewarded through the system, will the system take back the rewards after discarding them? If you add it to your collection again, will you get rewards again?
These two questions have always existed, but he has never thought of verifying them.
There is only one incarnation spell related to Peeves. Even if it is lost, it will not affect anything. It can be used as a verification tool.
Cassandra suddenly asked: "Kyle, where do you think Peeves went?"
"Well, I don't know the answer to this question." Li Kai shrugged, "Maybe this is a new way he thought of to tease people. Do you think the effect is pretty good? Everyone was nervous! "
Cassandra was speechless. She felt that Li Kai didn't care about this matter at all.
Thumping!
Li Kai's owl Sydney is here.
A trace of disgust flashed in Cassandra's eyes. She was depressed now that she saw the package because Mrs. Warley hadn't written to her or sent a package for a long time.
Oh, it's not like I didn't write a letter and send the package, but everything was sent directly to Li Kai.
"Tsk, tsk! My dear mother, I sent you another big bag of snacks. Look at how greedy they are. I'm really worried that they will all rush up and rob you." Cassandra glanced at Crabbe and others intentionally or unintentionally. Goyle seemed ready to wave his wand and hit these two idiots at any moment.
Li Kai opened the package, took out two letters, handed one to Cassandra, and then opened his own letter.
Dear Kyle:
I have a good news for you
The beauty potion you invented has been well received
Last month we captured 3% of the wizarding world's market share
And this is just the result of one month
Notice
I'm talking about the whole world
This is an amazing achievement
Your dividend last month was six thousand three hundred gold galleons.
I opened a vault for you in Gringotts
The key and deed are in the package
…
In addition to the results in terms of revenue, Mrs. Worley also talked about some user feedback and hopes that Li Kai can continue to improve the formula of beauty potions.
Because she herself was using that beauty potion, she naturally hoped that the beauty potion would have a more powerful effect.
Li Kai silently calculated in his mind that with a market share of 3%, he could earn 6,300 gold galleons a month. If the market share could be increased to 30%, that would be 63,000 gold galleons a month. That's 750,000 per year.
However, when he thought about it carefully, he thought that the profit could not be that high.
Beauty products are generally popular for a while when they first come on the market, but sales will definitely decrease a lot after a while.
Because this thing has a life cycle, it will always take some time to use it up after you buy it home.
Even so, the income generated by the improved beauty potion is enough to be called terrifying!
Chapter 57: Planning The Mirror Of Erised
At the end of the letter, Mrs. Worley invited Li Kai to spend Christmas at home.
To be honest, Li Kai didn't even notice that Christmas was coming. He never celebrated Christmas, so he didn't deliberately count the days on his fingers.
Despite receiving an invitation from Mrs. Worley, Li Kai has no plans to leave school this Christmas vacation.
Because he couldn't find the Mirror of Erised after searching for a long time, and as expected, Harry would accidentally discover the Mirror of Erised during Christmas.
So Li Kai decided to hitch a ride and see the legendary mirror.
If possible, make it your own.
So Li Kai told Mrs. Warley in his reply that he had something to do and could not leave Hogwarts during the Christmas holiday.
In fact, the Christmas holiday is only two weeks long, and Li Kai is too lazy to go back and forth.
Without being able to disapparate, it meant he had to ride the Hogwarts Express twice.
"Kyle, are you going home for Christmas?" Cassandra asked.
During the recent period, Li Kai felt that Cassandra was particularly dependent on him, and her proud character seemed to have restrained a lot.
Of course, this was in front of him. When dealing with other people, it felt like she still hadn't changed at all.
"No, I still have some things to deal with at school. Please help me apologize to Mrs. Warley. She invited me to your house for the holidays, but it's really not possible this year."
"Okay," Cassandra said disappointedly: "Then can you tell me what you are going to do?"
"Sorry, Cassandra." Li Kai leaned into Cassandra's ear, "Some secrets are best known by only one person. I hope you can understand me."
The hot breath he exhaled made Cassandra's ears itchy. She blushed and nodded slightly: "As you wish, I won't ask anymore. Let's go quickly. It's time to go to class."
…
After class one day, Li Kai came to a secret corner, cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and released Peeves from the Sealed Book.
Peeves floated in the air blankly for a while, then screamed and fled without a trace.
There was no reminder in Li Kai's mind to deduct the rewards, which meant that after receiving the rewards, he could still sell the collections.
But if that's the case, then there's a bug.
If you get a collectible and can resell it after receiving a reward, doesn't that mean that everything in Hogwarts can be easily turned into a reward?
This is obviously impossible!
"System, why don't you come out and explain?" Li Kai asked silently in his heart.
System: "Whether the host successfully collects a certain item depends on whether the host can hold it for a long time. Take the Mirror of Erised as an example. If the host can hold the Mirror of Erised for a long time, then you can get the collection reward by getting the Mirror of Erised. ; But if the host cannot preserve it for a long time, then the host will not receive the collection reward. Currently, the Mirror of Erised belongs to Hogwarts. Even if the host takes it away, under the protection of certain magic spells, the Mirror of Erised They will also return to Hogwarts, just like the swords of Gryffindor. The host cannot truly possess them, so they cannot receive rewards."
Li Kai curled his lips: "Tongzi, your strength is not good! Everything you get can fly away, but you are still a big collector."
"Sorry, this system is dedicated to cultivating great collectors, not becoming great collectors yourself, so it will not interfere with the host's process of collecting collections."
"Okay, I understand." Li Kai asked again: "Then if I break the protective spell on the collection, can it be regarded as a successful collection?"
"Just breaking the protection spell of the collection does not allow the host to completely own the collection. The problem of recovering the owner must also be solved. Still taking the Mirror of Erised as an example, if the host just breaks the protection spell and takes it away, then Hogwart The professors at Ci will definitely find a way to retrieve this item. You must ensure that they will not find it on your head and ensure that the Mirror of Erised will not be taken away. Only in this way can you truly own this item."
Li Kai thought for a while and said: "I seem to understand what you mean. For collections without property rights disputes, I can get rewards and dispose of them at will. But for collections with property rights disputes, I can't get rewards even if I get them." ,right?"
System: "You can understand it this way."
A series of collectibles that Li Kai obtained before can basically be regarded as ownerless items.
Even Ravenclaw's golden crown, it's unclear whether it originally had a protective charm, but it certainly didn't have it when he got it.
Either it was broken by Lady Grey, or it was broken by Voldemort.
Therefore, even if Ravenclaw's golden crown disappears, no one will deliberately look for it.
Oh, the Savior Trio would go looking for it a few years later, but they were not the owners of the Ravenclaw's Golden Crown in the first place, so there was no property rights dispute.
After figuring out the reward mechanism of the system, Li Kai's interest in finding the Mirror of Erised suddenly faded away.
He thought secretly in his mind: "It seems that to get the Mirror of Erised, we need to formulate a strict plan. It is best to make a fake Mirror of Erised and replace the genuine one. It is really difficult to complete this plan, so let's take a look first. Let's talk about the genuine product."
Chapter 58 Christmas Vacation
After a few more days of classes, school is finally about to have a holiday.
On Christmas Eve, students had their third sumptuous dinner this school year.
It was snowing heavily both inside and outside the castle. The only difference was that the snowflakes inside the castle were generated by magic spells, and they melted before they could fall to the ground.
This suggestion came from Li Kai. Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick asked for his opinion when they were decorating the auditorium. He mentioned it casually. Unexpectedly, the two professors said that this was a great idea and they must try it during the dinner.
Dumbledore praised: "It's a great idea to let snowflakes float into the castle."
"It's that kid from Kael'thas. This little guy always has a lot of clever ideas." Professor McGonagall admired the snowy scene with a thick smile on his face.
Maybe there was something wrong with Professor Flitwick's spell. Some snowflakes did not melt in the air as planned, and they accidentally fell into the soup basin in front of Dumbledore.
"Snowflake pumpkin soup? It must taste very good, right?" Dumbledore didn't take it seriously and still drank it with gusto.
I don't know if someone was deliberately playing a trick on him, but Snape's head and shoulders were already covered with snowflakes.
He was the only one in the entire auditorium who received this kind of treatment. He looked funny and his face was more serious than ever.
Li Kai could see clearly that many people on the Gryffindor side were peeking at Snape. Everyone was holding back their laughter while eating, and they might burst out at any time.
"He's not angry. This is not his style." Cassandra whispered, "I'm worried that Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick will fight."
Li Kai shook his head and smiled: "No, because I did it, and I pointed the finger at Professor McGonagall. Professor Snape will never fight with Professor McGonagall. This is Professor McGonagall's." privilege."
The nearby Slytherin students were stunned. A student who dared to tease Snape appeared, and he was from Slytherin College.
Draco smiled evilly and said, "What do you think would happen if I told Professor Snape this secret?"
Crabbe and Goyle also showed malicious smiles. They had been thinking about fixing Li Kai for a long time.
"You may not be able to see the sun tomorrow," Li Kai pretended to be gloomy, "And you two, no matter who leaks the secret, I will blame it on you."
Draco and his two idiot followers couldn't laugh anymore. They felt extremely regretful. They had a good meal, so why did they provoke this b*****d?
After the dinner, Li Kai tried to make the Marauder's Map.
Making this gadget doesn't require too much magic power. It's like a radar that can collect all the information in the castle at any time.
In Li Kai's magical eyes, all the magic spells involved in the Marauder's Map are no secrets, and he can see every trace of the movement of magic.
The magic of this world is complex and not just pure elements, but it does exist after all.
The magic organization structure on the Marauder's Map is very complex and closely related to the entire castle.
Li Kai suspected that this Marauder's Map was not produced by James Potter and others, at least not completely.
Because monitoring the movement of every student and even every professor is the authority that only the principal has.
If it was not authorized by Dumbledore, then James Potter and others must have mastered some magical magic beyond the textbooks.
Li Kai studied for a long time and finally understood the entire production principle of the Marauder's Map. This magical magic item seems to involve divination like the Book of Access.
His divination talent is average, but due to system rewards, his divination skills have reached an advanced level.
This is the result of collecting three divination textbooks.
Although some of the magical knowledge involved in the Marauder's Map is not yet understood, it does not affect Li Kai's reproduction of the Marauder's Map.
He took out a piece of parchment, first this, then that, then cast a few spells, and a brand new Marauder's Map came out.
Early the next morning, he handed the copy of the Marauder's Map to the Weasley brothers who also chose to stay in school.
Perhaps in order to save travel expenses, the little wizards of the Weasley family all chose to stay in school.
During the day on the first day of the holiday, Li Kai spent the whole day in the Room of Requirement refining the potion.
The science of potions is extensive and profound, and combined with ancient alchemy, magical treasures like the magic stone can be created.
There is no doubt that the magic stone must also have a clever protective spell cast on it.
If Li Kai wants to get the magic stone, the best way is to make another magic stone to replace the real magic stone.
It was too difficult to do this, so he could only try his best to improve his alchemy and potion skills.
When he wrote to Mrs. Worley before, he had asked Mrs. Worley to collect books on alchemy and potions, as well as more high-end equipment.
I hope to improve my alchemy and potion skills by collecting books, equipment and other related items.
But there has been no news from Mrs. Worley, so Li Kai can only immerse himself in training now.
If he really couldn't make another magic stone, then he could only find a way to increase his magic power, forcibly break the protective spell and steal the magic stone.
He didn't want to do it unless he had to.
Because doing so would mean making enemies of Dumbledore and Nico Flamel.
Or there is another option, which is to exchange with Dumbledore and Nico Flamel, but he currently does not have a treasure comparable to the Sorcerer's Stone.
In short, it is too difficult to obtain the magic stone, and Li Kai must start from many aspects.
Chapter 59 Because He Loves That Man!
At night, Li Kai opened the Marauder's Map and stared at Harry's name, ready to take action.
Waited for a long time until late at night.
Harry actually stayed in the Gryffindor dormitory without even stepping out of the room.
"This... has the plot changed? Damn it, it's all Cassandra's fault!"
Only then did Li Kai remember that in the original book, the reason why Harry took the risk to go to the forbidden book area was because they didn't know who Nico Flamel was, so they could only try their luck in the forbidden book area.
And now that Cassandra has revealed Nico Flamel's identity and the role of the Philosopher's Stone, Harry naturally doesn't need to risk going to the Forbidden Zone.
"It's been too long," Li Kai sighed and thought helplessly, "I can't remember many details in the original plot. It seems I have to find the Mirror of Erised by myself."
He thought about it carefully. In the original book, Harry was almost discovered by Snape and Filch in the library, walked into a door by mistake, and then discovered the Eris Demon in an empty room that seemed to be an abandoned classroom. mirror.
"Then, maybe look around the library, maybe you can find the Mirror of Erised."
Li Kai got dressed, cast a disillusionment spell on himself, then opened the Marauder's Map, carefully avoided the professor on night watch and came to the library, and then looked around for the door leading to the abandoned classroom.
But there are only a few doors in the library, and except for the entrance and exit and the door leading to the restricted book area, all other doors are sealed and cannot be opened with Harry's ability.
Apparently, the classroom where the Mirror of Erised is placed is not connected to the library.
Li Kai walked out of the library and searched along several corridors leading to the library. It took more than an hour before he found the abandoned classroom.
He saw a very majestic mirror in this abandoned classroom. It was so tall that it could almost touch the ceiling. The gorgeous golden frame was supported by two claw-shaped feet.
On the top of the mirror, there is a line of words engraved: Eris Stella Oheru Ayite Ubi Kafulu Ayiteon Voorhees.
This is not a name, but a paragraph, which needs to be read backwards and the letters reassembled to form a coherent sentence.
Li Kai calmed down his excitement, walked slowly to the Mirror of Erised, and quietly watched the figures appearing in the mirror.
His expression gradually changed, from calm to shock, and then from shock to shame.
At this moment, from the perspective of a bystander, there is nothing in the magic mirror.
But from Li Kai's point of view, in the magic mirror, he is sitting on a high golden throne, surrounded by a large group of beauties.
Cassandra, Hermione, Penello, Angelina, Mrs. Warley...
They gathered around Li Kai, some pinched his shoulders and beat his legs, some stuffed grapes into his mouth, and some even...
Everyone is wearing cool clothes, and the scene is enough to make anyone blush.
"Damn it! You didn't expect me to be such a person? How come I never knew?"
Li Kai is a little embarrassed!
vulgar!
So tacky!
He never thought that his ultimate pursuit would be so simple.
"What a broken mirror, it's fake! It's all fake! I'm not that kind of person!"
Li Kai shook his head, stood beside the mirror, shook all the pictures he had just seen out of his mind, and began to study the Mirror of Erised seriously.
In the eyes of magic, the Mirror of Erised is covered with dense magic lines. It is simply a huge ball of magic thread. It is still messy after being cut and sorted, and it is impossible to sort out the clues.
The material of the magic mirror itself is not uncommon, the key lies in the magic spells.
This mirror was made so long ago that the person who made it must have used a lot of ancient magic.
With Li Kai's current magical attainments, it is normal for him not to be able to see clearly the mystery contained in it.
He sighed and thought to himself: "It seems that there is no way to imitate this thing in the short term, but after the first school year, this mirror should be put into the Room of Requirement. It won't be too late to collect it then." ."
The Mirror of Erised is not a very important thing to Hogwarts.
If Dumbledore hadn't needed the mirror to hide the Philosopher's Stone, perhaps it was a junk item hidden in the Room of Requirement.
In seven years, except for Harry's first year at school, this mirror never appeared again.
It's like a disposable prop, thrown away after use.
Li Kai was about to return to the dormitory, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a figure standing at the door.
"Professor Dumbledore?"
"Kyle, can't you sleep either?" Dumbledore walked towards the Mirror of Erised step by step, "I'm curious, what did you see in this mirror?"
Li Kai thought for a while and said with an unnatural expression: "Professor, I think it's better not to tell you this, because it is a picture you will never see."
"Oh?" Dumbledore became interested: "What kind of scene will I never think of?"
"I saw that I was surrounded by a large group of beauties," Li Kai said frankly: "Do you think that at your age, you can see such a picture in the mirror?"
Dumbledore twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling very unhappy. Not to mention his age, even when he was young, he would never have seen that kind of scene.
Because he loves that man!
Chapter 60 Confronting Dumbledore! Expose Voldemort!
"I see sincerity in your eyes."
Dumbledore smiled kindly: "It's great to be young, but I have to remind you that being a philanderer will bring you a lot of trouble. I hope you can make the right choice."
Li Kai thought for a while and asked: "Professor, can you give me this mirror? If you can't give it to me, you can sell it to me."
To be honest, Li Kai really didn't want to reveal his intentions so soon.
But he really didn't expect that Dumbledore would catch him on the spot as soon as he found the Mirror of Erised.
He wasn't sure how long Dumbledore had been here, and he didn't know if Dumbledore saw the look on his face as he coveted the magic mirror.
Therefore, instead of continuing to conceal it, it is better to be simple and direct to avoid Lao Deng becoming suspicious.
There are no things much ado about.
Some things would never happen, but because of a little misunderstanding, they can develop out of control.
Li Kai doesn't want to encounter this kind of situation, so he might as well be more sincere and talk if he can reach an agreement, and wait until he can reach an agreement if he can't.
If we really can't reach an agreement, we can only solve the problem with our fists.
I hope things don't come to that...
"You want the Mirror of Erised?" Dumbledore looked at Li Kai in surprise, "It can only waste time and bring you nothing."
Li Kai smiled and explained: "Professor, you misunderstood. I don't care about the function of the Mirror of Erised, but focus on its historical value and significance of existence. I am motivated to be a great collector. For me, I don't care about the function of the Mirror of Erised." The Mirror of Lys is actually an excellent collectible."
"Be a collector?" Dumbledore encouraged: "This is a great ambition. May your dream come true."
He changed the subject: "But I can't give you the Mirror of Erised, because it's still useful."
Li Kai thought for a moment and said: "Professor, maybe I can exchange a secret. Believe me, you must really want to know that secret."
Dumbledore stared at Li Kai for a while, and couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me what the secret is about first?"
Li Kai gently spit out a name: "Voldemort."
"Voldemort?" Dumbledore was obviously stunned for a moment, "Do you know him? The secret you are going to tell is related to him?"
Having fought with Voldemort for so many years, the two sides were mortal enemies.
Every time Dumbledore heard the name Voldemort, his emotions would be indescribably complicated.
"Yes," Li Kai said, "I know the secret of Voldemort's power."
Dumbledore glanced at the Mirror of Erised and said, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me."
After he finished speaking, he walked out, and Li Kai followed him to the principal's office.
In the principal's office, Li Kai saw Fox, the Sorting Hat, and countless books.
"Would you like some snacks? I have lemon sherbet candies, cockroach skewers, sour popping candies - basically all kinds of snacks. What do you want?" Dumbledore asked kindly.
"Is there any chocolate frog?" Li Kai complained: "I am collecting pictures. I ate a lot but didn't collect the full set. Do you know what a terrible torture this is for a collector?"
Dumbledore smiled happily: "Then you must have collected a lot of my drawings. I know many people are complaining that I have too many drawings."
He took out a large package of chocolate frogs from a cabinet and poured it on the snack plate in front of Li Kai.
Li Kai took out one and opened it, stuffed the chocolate frog into his mouth, chewed it and looked at the pictures.
Coincidentally, the person in the picture is Nico Flamel. This picture is also very rare and Li Kai has never collected it.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the perfect collection "Chocolate Frog Pictures - Nico Flamel" and the reward "Advanced Alchemy". ]
The perfect grade should be the highest rating for a chocolate frog picture. It is estimated that only the pictures of the four founders, Nico Flamel and Merlin can receive such a rating.
Oh, maybe Dumbledore will join them after his death.
It is ironic that most people are not cared about when they are alive, but will be enshrined by countless people after their death.
Even some great people's status will suddenly increase a lot after death.
"It's Nico Flamel. This is the first time I got his picture." Li Kai said with a smile: "His magic stone is also my collection target. I don't want any elixir of life, but I also want to turn stones into gold." Not interested, the collection value of the Philosopher's Stone itself lies in its historical significance and academic value. If I guessed correctly, the Philosopher's Stone should be in Hogwarts now?"
"It seems that you know a lot, but let's not talk about the Philosopher's Stone for now." Dumbledore smiled meaningfully, "Let's talk about the secrets you know first. Can you tell me where you heard it? The name Voldemort?"
Although things happened more than ten years ago that made a big fuss, people still kept secret about what happened back then.
No one in the wizarding world dares to record Voldemort's life story in writing, so it is not easy for a first-year wizard to know about Voldemort.
After all, not every little wizard is a savior born to be entangled with Voldemort.
Chapter 61 Side Effects Of Making Horcruxes
"You should know that Voldemort's affairs are not a big secret in the wizarding world. Many wizards know what happened back then. As long as the title is replaced by the mysterious man or the Dark Lord, his affairs are actually not difficult to find out, especially when there are With clues."
Li Kai smiled and said: "The secret I want to tell you is the secret of his victory over death."
Dumbledore stared at Li Kai and said slowly: "Do you know about Horcruxes?"
"Yes," Li Kai opened another chocolate frog, "I actually have a Horcrux in my hand, but I haven't found a suitable way to destroy it yet."
Hearing this, Dumbledore's eyes flashed, and he said in surprise: "You are not affected by the Horcrux? Can you let me see that Horcrux?"
Li Kai did not hide it and took out the sealed book in front of Dumbledore.
If it were Professor McGonagall or Snape, Li Kai would not do this, but Dumbledore is different. He is not a stickler for rules. Revealing certain things in front of him can increase the bargaining chips.
Turn the book of seals to the page of Ravenclaw's golden crown and recite the anti-sealing spell. Ravenclaw's golden crown immediately returns from the second dimension to the third dimension.
Dumbledore watched quietly from beginning to end. Although the Sealed Book surprised him, he did not rush to ask.
"This is the sealed book I made," Li Kai explained casually: "Some collections that are difficult to deal with temporarily will be sealed here. When I build a safe collection in the future, I can take them out. ."
Dumbledore's mouth twitched again: "Cornish elves and trolls are also in your collection?"
"Uh," Li Kai said vaguely, "When I encountered them, these guys were causing trouble, so I caught them and released them when I had time."
He pushed Ravenclaw's golden diadem in front of Dumbledore and showed it openly for him to admire.
Dumbledore held Ravenclaw's golden crown in his hands and observed it carefully. He felt that an evil consciousness was invading his mind.
"Is this a Horcrux? What an evil method! Didn't he bewitch you?"
The last sentence was obviously a question to Li Kai. He said calmly: "Professor, with all due respect, Voldemort's vision is too narrow in my opinion. He is like a frog at the bottom of a well. His so-called immortality is only at the cost of a mutilated soul." , in exchange for false eternal life."
Dumbledore was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "You are right, death is just another great adventure. Only by truly facing death can we defeat death."
Li Kai doesn't care about these vain theories, he only cares about whether he can get the Mirror of Erised.
"Professor, is this secret enough to exchange for the Mirror of Erised?"
"Sorry," Dumbledore said with a smile, "I'm afraid that's not enough, because it's not the key to the problem. I actually knew that Voldemort was making Horcruxes."
Li Kai was not surprised by this. He said casually: "Then you must not know how many Horcruxes he made."
"You know?" Dumbledore's expression suddenly became extremely serious, "How many Horcruxes did he create?"
"Professor, can the answer to this question be the Mirror of Erised?" Li Kai asked.
Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Kai didn't sell it and said bluntly: "Voldemort has created six Horcruxes so far. Harry is considered a Horcrux that was accidentally created."
"Six pieces - there are actually six pieces. This is incredible!" Dumbledore seemed confused. "How dare he? How dare he split his soul six times?"
"Actually, he really didn't dare," Li Kai said with a smile: "This guy is very afraid of death. He originally planned to make seven Horcruxes, but stopped after making five. On the one hand, he has requirements for the carrier of the Horcruxes. On the other hand, he is probably worried that making too many Horcruxes will have some bad effects. In fact, after making five Horcruxes, he has already discovered the side effects."
"What side effects?" Dumbledore looked at Li Kai blankly. He found that the boy in front of him was more knowledgeable than he thought.
He knew how to make Horcruxes. After all, the method of making Horcruxes was once hidden in a book in the restricted section of the library.
As the principal, he doesn't have to use certain black magic, but at least he will have some understanding of it.
"IQ, and the ability to control emotions." Li Kai said slowly: "In my opinion, the method of making Horcruxes needs to be improved. While splitting the soul, some less important emotions can be split out, such as Anger or cowardice, splitting the soul in this way can also make the mind stronger. Voldemort was too rough. He didn't care about anything and split the soul casually, which led to his ability to control emotions. It gets weaker and weaker, so it becomes moody and unscrupulous."
"In terms of IQ, hundreds of thousands of people were killed in Japan by a mushroom egg. Voldemort must have known about this, but he never thought of using mushroom eggs. Does he disdain the use of Muggle weapons? I don't think so. , because he couldn't think of how to use that kind of weapon. After his soul split five times, he completely lost his previous intelligence, so he only relied on magic when doing things. You should know that he was not that blind and self-indulgent before. Big, moody guy, aren't you?"
Chapter 62 Young People Need Exercise
Dumbledore had to admit that what Li Kai said was indeed very reasonable.
Voldemort was perfect in every aspect during his student days, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he was the most perfect student.
But when he came back from traveling around the world, everything changed.
He became arrogant, moody, killed innocent people, and did whatever he wanted...
It seemed that he no longer trusted anyone but magic.
There are so many dark wizards who are obsessed with black magic, but few are like him.
Let's not go too far, let's just talk about the previous generation of Dark Lord Grindelwald. He was also a Dark Lord, but he was not twisted to the level of Voldemort.
Therefore, Li Kai has reason to believe that all these changes are inseparable from the production of Horcruxes, and Dumbledore also agrees with this view.
"Do you know the whereabouts of other Horcruxes?" Dumbledore asked, "Can you tell me?"
"Of course," Li Kai smiled: "It's not worth hiding."
He did not propose a deal again, because some things will be done naturally when the favor comes, and there is no need to worry about it.
"Voldemort has currently created a total of five Horcruxes, two of which were created during his student days. The first one was when he awakened a basilisk and killed a Muggle female student in June 1943, leaving a book The diary was made into a Horcrux, and the diary should be in Malfoy Manor now. The second incident was that in August 1943, he killed three members of the old Riddle family after searching for relatives, and used the ancestral ring of the Gaunt family to create the soul This Horcrux should be hidden in Gunter's old house."
"The third thing is that after he killed the wealthy collector Hepzibah Smith at the Smith House in 1946, he made Hufflepuff's golden cup into a Horcrux and hid it in the Lestrange family's Gringotts vault. The fourth item is Ravenclaw's golden diadem. Also in 1946, after Voldemort found it in the Albanian forest, he couldn't wait to kill a Muggle and made it into a Horcrux."
"The fifth Horcrux is Salazar Slytherin's locket. I don't know when this was made. I only know that it was hidden in a cave on an island that Voldemort visited when he was a child." Li Kai poured himself a cup of tea. , he took a sip lightly and continued: "These are the Horcruxes he made with his own hands. Apart from these five Horcruxes, you know the sixth Horcrux, which is Harry who accidentally became a Horcrux."
After hearing this, Dumbledore seemed to let out a long sigh of relief.
He was not afraid of Voldemort being too powerful, but he was afraid of the evil methods Voldemort had hidden.
Now that we know the whereabouts of all Voldemort's Horcruxes, we are not far away from completely annihilating Voldemort.
Now Dumbledore was faced with another question. He asked suspiciously: "How do you know this so clearly?"
"After I got Ravenclaw's golden crown, Voldemort's remnant soul tried to seduce me. I got all this information from his remnant soul. He had no defense against a little wizard like me."
This is purely nonsense, otherwise Li Kai would have no way to explain it.
Dumbledore did not doubt this statement, nor did he think that Li Kai had been corrupted by Voldemort, because if Li Kai was corrupted by Voldemort, it would be impossible to take out Ravenclaw's golden crown and expose the whereabouts of all the Horcruxes.
"You have done well. It seems that your talent is far beyond my imagination." Dumbledore smiled and said, "If Voldemort can be completely eliminated in the future, you will be the number one contributor."
Li Kai asked with a smile: "Isn't Harry the biggest contributor? In your plan, are you going to sacrifice Harry when necessary?"
"You actually know this. There is no other way." Dumbledore sighed: "According to the prophecy, the two of them will have a fight. What we can do is help him grow and clear all obstacles for him in advance. Voldemort's His magical attainments have reached a level beyond the reach of ordinary people, and ordinary means cannot eliminate him at all."
Li Kai had to admit this, so what if the magic power was powerful? Isn't it a waste if you miss?
Voldemort's short-distance teleportation allowed him to evade countless spells. Even if Hogwarts banned Apparition, it could not eliminate his ability to teleport.
In the original book, Professor McGonagall, Kingsley and Slughorn, these three outstanding wizards, could not hit Voldemort no matter how they attacked, and no one else could do it.
How did Voldemort die in the end?
Even if all the Horcruxes were eliminated, no one could kill him.
Neither could Harry, the so-called savior. He could only rely on the rebellion of the Elder Wand to make Voldemort fall under his own death curse.
So in this world Voldemort is invincible!
Even Dumbledore could only fight it, not defeat it.
But this is just the fate in the original work——
Now that Li Kai is here, he doesn't believe that destiny will develop on the established track.
It is true that his current strength cannot compare with Dumbledore and Voldemort, but as long as he has a high-end collection and enough time to grow, he is confident that he can press Voldemort to the ground and rub him.
But there is no need to talk big in front of Dumbledore now, just let Dumbledore follow the plan, so that the plot will not change much, but it will be conducive to Li Kai's actions.
He thought for a while and said with a smile: "In that case, how about we just let nature take its course and leave the remaining Horcruxes to Harry to deal with? Young people need training, don't they?"
Harry Potter is the destined protagonist of this world, and the collection value of things he touches will definitely increase a lot.
Therefore, it is also beneficial for Li Kai to hand over the Horcrux to Harry.
Chapter 63 Returners From The Underworld
Dumbledore was a little moved, and his original intention was to train Harry, because he couldn't do anything to Voldemort and could only pin his hopes on Harry.
But now, the appearance of Li Kai gave Dumbledore some new ideas.
"Kyle, Harry needs your help, that kid is very poor-"
"Sorry!" Li Kai interrupted: "I'm not interested in being a nanny, I'm only interested in collecting treasures."
From the moment Dumbledore spoke, Li Kai realized that his opportunity to rip off had come.
"Don't refuse so decisively, Kyle." Dumbledore said kindly: "You like to collect treasures, and I happen to have many good things here. As long as you are willing to help, the reward is negotiable."
Li Kai suddenly showed emotion when he heard this. He took Ravenclaw's golden crown in his hand and said with a smile: "I found this. It cannot be included in the reward. You must use other things as reward."
"Of course, it is yours, and it would not appear in front of me without you." Dumbledore nodded, "My reward will definitely satisfy you."
"What if I want the Sorcerer's Stone?" Li Kai looked at Dumbledore expectantly. If he could obtain the Sorcerer's Stone through trading, it would save a lot of trouble.
"I am not the owner of the Philosopher's Stone and cannot decide its fate, but I can ask Nico Flamel for you." Dumbledore said.
Li Kai nodded: "As long as you can help me get the magic stone, I don't mind being your pawn."
"Don't say that. I'm not a chess player. Maybe we are all just following our own destiny to the end." Dumbledore said with emotion, "We can't even control our own destiny, so how can we control the destiny of others?"
"You are right. It is true that no one can truly control their own destiny." Li Kai smiled slightly when he heard this: "But that destiny may be what we want. After all, every choice is made by ourselves."
Dumbledore stared at Li Kai again, and he said quietly: "You are really not like a child. Your wisdom is not weaker than any adult."
"I remember you said before that death is just another great adventure." Li Kai took another sip of tea and said enigmatically: "Then do you believe in reincarnation? Do you believe that someone can learn from the great adventure of death? Return to Daxia?"
Dumbledore's expression was shocked, and he looked at Li Kai more solemnly. He felt more and more that Li Kai was unfathomable.
He couldn't see through Li Kai, but he could feel that there seemed to be a terrifying and mysterious power hidden in Li Kai's body.
This is incredible!
He was obviously just an eleven-year-old wizard, how could he bring such a strange feeling to him?
In fact, his feeling was correct. There was indeed a terrifying power hidden in Li Kai's body.
That is the power of the system!
Although Li Kai's own magic is also very powerful, it is not comparable to Dumbledore.
Only the system could make Dumbledore so afraid.
The system is deeply hidden, but it will leave traces as long as it exists.
The wizard's will is so strong that he can achieve omnipotence to a certain extent. Although Dumbledore has not yet reached that level, he also has very keen perceptions.
Even if this kind of perception can only detect the tip of the iceberg of the system's power, it is still valuable.
Unfortunately, Dumbledore's perception was unable to penetrate the essence and only regarded the power of the system as the power of Li Kai itself.
For Li Kai, this definitely has more advantages than disadvantages.
Combining all these factors, combined with what Li Kai just said, Dumbledore couldn't help but wonder whether the body of the child in front of him contained an ancient wizard who had just completed his death adventure not long ago.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Are you Kael'thas Lee, or someone else?"
"Of course I am Kael'thas Lee, who else could I be?"
Li Kai had already seen through Dumbledore's thoughts. His thoughts suddenly changed and he instantly decided to go with the flow and directly follow Dumbledore's ideas to make up a reasonable explanation for himself.
So he spread his hands and said: "You don't think that you won't lose anything when you return from the underworld, do you? There is a word in the East called the mystery of the womb, which says that the reincarnated person will still suffer many hardships in the mother's body, and those hardships will bring trouble to the soul. It brings unimaginable pain and causes the soul to gradually lose the memory of past lives, but those with good cultivation can retain part of the memory."
"I don't know what I was like before I came back. I just occasionally have a flash of inspiration in my mind and understand some magic that I haven't seen in textbooks. My magic growth is also different from ordinary people, and my ability to understand magic is far beyond ordinary people. In addition, It's nothing special. You can treat me like an ordinary student, because I'm really only eleven years old now."
Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "Well, this is best. I am not used to calling an eleven-year-old child a brother, even if it is a very novel experience."
"It's very late today," Li Kai stood up and said goodbye: "It's time for me to go back to bed. Children's lack of sleep will affect their growth."
"Good night, Kyle, I wish you a sweet dream." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, you can take the Mirror of Erised away after it has finished its function. Wait for my news about the Philosopher's Stone. "
"Good night, Professor."
Chapter 64 The Christmas Vacation Is Over
On the second night of the holiday, Dumbledore asked the owl to deliver a letter to Li Kai.
The letter stated that Nico Flamel had agreed to transfer the Philosopher's Stone, but he had made a request that he would not be refused when he needed to borrow the Philosopher's Stone.
When Li Kai saw this request, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart: "Sure enough! The destruction of the magic stone is just a pretense to confuse outsiders. They have not given up immortality at all."
In addition, Dumbledore also gave Li Kai a task. He asked Li Kai to take Harry to see the Mirror of Erised.
This was just a trivial matter. Li Kai immediately wrote a reply to Dumbledore and granted all their requests.
After writing his reply, he immediately came to the Gryffindor table.
Harry and Ronald had finished their meal and were lowering the wizarding flag on the dining table.
Li Kai whispered: "You come out tonight, and I will take you to see something good."
Harry and Ronald's attention was immediately attracted, and the chess pieces on the chess board yelled and cursed: "Hey, can you concentrate on playing chess? The battle is not over yet!"
Ignoring the scolding of the chess pieces, Harry asked: "What good thing? Is it the Philosopher's Stone?"
Li Kai shook his head: "At eleven o'clock in the evening, I will wait for you at the entrance of the library."
…
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Li Kai came to the door of the library in advance. He lifted the disillusionment spell and asked in a low voice: "Harry, are you here?"
Not far away, Harry and Ronald appeared out of thin air.
Ronald said in shock: "That was the Disillusionment Curse just now? You can become invisible without using an invisibility cloak?"
"The Disillusionment Curse?" Harry never read books in his free time and had no idea that there was such a thing as the Disillusionment Curse.
"Stop talking nonsense." Li Kai said, "Come with me quickly."
He took Harry and Ronald to the abandoned classroom where the Mirror of Erised was placed, pointed at the Mirror of Erised and said: "This is the Mirror of Erised. Harry, haven't you never seen your parents? Go and see if you can See them?"
"Can I see my parents through this mirror?" Harry asked excitedly. He wanted to see his parents all the time, but unfortunately this was just a wishful thinking. He didn't even know what his parents looked like.
Li Kai speculated that the reason why Dumbledore wanted Harry to see the Mirror of Erised was probably to let him see his parents.
Ronald was more anxious than Harry. He stood in front of the Mirror of Erised first, and then said excitedly: "I saw that I have grown up, and I have become the president of the Boys' Student Union! I wear the badge that Bill used to have, and on my hand I'm still holding the House Cup and the Quidditch trophy, and I'm still the captain of the Quidditch team! Does this mirror foretell the future?"
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he was so happy that he forgot everything.
Li Kai said quickly: "Please keep your voice down and don't attract Filch."
Ronald shut up quickly and stepped aside, leaving his seat to Harry.
Sure enough, Harry saw his parents in the mirror. He was in a daze, standing there motionless, and softly calling his parents, but unfortunately the person in the mirror did not respond to him.
After letting Harry look at it for a while, Li Kai reminded: "We should leave. We must not be caught by Filch, otherwise this mirror will definitely be moved away."
Harry was shocked when he heard this. This mirror must not be moved away, otherwise he would not be able to see his parents.
So, he quickly covered himself and Ronald with an invisibility cloak.
The three of them returned to their dormitories, and finally they were not caught by Filch.
…
In the next few days, Li Kai felt much more relaxed.
He either went fishing in the Black Lake or read in the library every day. He lived a very happy life as a child.
The Mirror of Erised no longer requires the effort of planning, and there is hope for the Magic Stone, so there is no need to waste time improving alchemy.
Li Kai speculated that if he could get the magic stone, he might be able to directly upgrade alchemy to the master level.
After all, the Philosopher's Stone can be regarded as the ultimate product of alchemy.
According to the urinary properties of the system, a collection of this level can be rated as legendary.
Legendary collections will almost certainly reward talents or master-level skills. Those related to magic stones are either potions or alchemy. No matter which skill is upgraded to the master-level, it is worthy of celebration.
By upgrading alchemy to the master level, Li Kai will have the ability to create magic stones.
The only problem is that the materials to create the Philosopher's Stone may not be easy to come by.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Nico Flamel did not create a second Philosopher's Stone over the years.
After the matter of the Sorcerer's Stone and the Mirror of Erised was resolved, Li Kai began to think about the treasures in the Forbidden Forest again.
He really wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest and explore it now, but he gave up the idea after thinking about it.
After that heart-to-heart conversation a few days ago, Dumbledore must be paying close attention to him now. Although the old man does not have the Marauder's Map, he does have the authority to monitor the entire Hogwarts.
Heading to the Forbidden Forest rashly could easily misunderstand Old Deng.
So Li Kai thought about it again and again, and decided to go with the original plan and follow Harry and others into the Forbidden Forest. That way he could also use an excuse to protect Harry and dispel Old Deng's suspicion.
Soon, the Christmas holidays are over.
Students who went home for the holidays also returned to school on the last day of the holiday.
Chapter 65: What Is The Most Effective Way To Destroy The Enemy?
After the Christmas break, the last class was over, and the Draco trio skipped back to the Slytherin lounge.
Li Kai and Cassandra were chatting about their vacation experiences, and others were also studying or chatting.
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter as the Draco trio stumbled into the common room, their mouths gagged and their legs still glued together.
There is no doubt that they were both under the sealing curse and the leg-locking curse.
"woo woo woo woo!"
The three of them could not speak and could only keep making whining sounds and pointing at themselves to ask others to help break the curse.
Prefect Gemma couldn't stand it anymore, so she immediately pulled out her wand and used a spell to help them break the spell.
"What's going on with you? Who put the curse on you?" Gemma asked, suppressing a smile: "Aren't you the ones who usually put spells on others? The sun is rising in the west today?"
Draco said fiercely: "Hermione Granger! It's all that mud...it's all her fault!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they heard Draco was about to say that word, almost everyone was startled. They all looked at Li Kai in unison, fearing that the little devil would get angry.
Crabbe said angrily: "This matter is not over yet. She was afraid that we would break the curse ourselves, so she used a sealing spell on us. We must take revenge and go back."
"Tsk, tsk!" Kassandra sneered: "Three people can't defeat one. It's really embarrassing for Slytherin. With all due respect, with your current level, you can't defeat Hermione even in a sneak attack."
Cassandra, who often practices dueling with Hermione, has a deep understanding of Hermione's dueling level. Their strength is almost equal, and both sides win each other every time.
Moreover, after rigorous training by Li Kai, they are very good at dealing with various sneak attacks, and can even add an iron armor curse to themselves the moment they hear someone chanting a curse.
This is a combat quality that most adult wizards cannot develop, and the sneak attacks of young wizards cannot do anything to them.
Draco said unconvinced: "She is just a marrow wizard. As long as we are trained, we will be able to deal with her easily."
When he said this, he couldn't help but look at Li Kai frequently, because he knew who Hermione's superb dueling level was related to.
But Li Kai was indifferent to this. He had no intention of spending time training irrelevant people.
In particular, the person being trained is not willing to accept training.
Before going to bed at night, Draco was still brooding about what happened in the afternoon. He couldn't help but ask Li Kai: "Why do you want to make friends with Gryffindor people? Don't you know that we Slytherins and Gryffindors are mortal enemies?"
"Draco, your idea is wrong!" Li Kai put down the book in his hand and said helplessly: "What is a mortal enemy? A mortal enemy is an enemy that must be killed! Ask yourself, do you think you want Harry to die? Or do you? Do you want Neville to die? Or, if you are given the chance, would you dare to kill them?"
Draco Nono said nothing. Although he hated the Gryffindors, he would not kill them.
The so-called mortal enemy is just an exaggeration made by a middle school boy.
"I hate them!" Draco said unconvinced.
Li Kai smiled and asked: "Then tell me, what do you hate about them? Hate that they are handsomer than you? Hate that they have better academic performance than you? Hate that they have enviable friendships?"
"I - you are talking nonsense, I just hate them for no reason!" Draco said this without any confidence, "Except for you, there is no one more handsome than me in the whole Hogwarts. There are many people who are better than me, but most of them are not as good as me. I also have enviable friendships, and I don't need any reason to hate them."
"Tsk tsk," Li Kai shrugged, "In the final analysis, you are still a child at heart. In fact, you don't hate them. You just want to interact with them through another method and just want to play with them."
"No! You're talking nonsense! That's not the case! Gryffindor is our enemy, our mortal enemy!" Draco's face turned red, obviously being told what was on his mind by Li Kai.
"Okay, I'll take what you said to be true." Li Kai said nonchalantly: "Just treat them as enemies. What do you think is the most effective way to eliminate enemies?"
"Use the Death Curse!" Draco said, pretending to be fierce: "Kill them all!"
"Wrong!" Li Kai said sternly: "Using the Death Curse is also risky for yourself. Do you know how Voldemort disappeared? He released the Death Curse on Harry, but it was rebounded. Since then, he has never been seen again. Never appeared. You use the Death Curse against them, what if one of them can rebound the Death Curse? Do you want to end up like Voldemort?"
Hearing this, Draco was immediately frightened, and he asked worriedly: "Did the mysterious man really get rebounded?"
"There was no one else in Harry's family back then. If it wasn't for the spell rebounding, then tell me why Voldemort disappeared?" Li Kai said calmly.
Draco asked again: "Then what do you think is the most effective way to destroy the enemy?"
