Chapter 3187 - Ch: 145-155

Hogwarts: Starts by Copying the Max-level Fire Shield

Chapter 145: Slytherin Second Draw Unlocked!

"Although the ancestors had given instructions that in the Malfoy family's vault, a huge amount of wealth must always be preserved to prevent possible future changes,

but I feel that now is the time for me to move this money."

Malfoy did not explain too much extra.

In fact, he did not tell Narcissa.

He had a feeling that if his guess was not wrong,

if Darwin's goal was really aimed at the entire British Wizarding World,

if he didn't use this money now, he might never have the chance to use it in the future.

By the time Darwin received the news, it was already evening.

The news was brought back by Cassandra.

This matter caused a huge commotion.

What? You say that when withdrawing money, how could it cause a commotion?

The Malfoy family was not withdrawing just a little money.

Moreover, I don't know if it was because Lucius saw something,

so the Malfoy family became the first pure-blood family to empty their vault in Gringotts.

A pure-blood family, accumulated over countless generations, how much wealth would there be?

That was truly an astronomical figure.

Most importantly, how much Gringotts had embezzled as well.

Lucius sorted out all the deposit slips from when he deposited money in Gringotts.

Then, taking all the deposit slips and the Muggle talents borrowed from Darwin, he came to Gringotts together.

Auditing the accounts and emptying the vault.

This matter kept them busy from afternoon until evening when Darwin received the news.

Gringotts began to make up for the Malfoy family's vault.

This made the already not-so-wealthy British Gringottssuffer from compounded misfortune.

When Darwin heard this news, he was somewhat surprised.

I have to say, Malfoy's move really helped him fan the flames.

In fact, this matter should have been done by Darwin.

According to the plan of the people Darwin invited from the Muggle world,

once the public opinion on Gringotts reached its limit, Darwin would go and empty his own vault.

At that time, Gringotts would instantly lose a huge amount of wealth.

Coupled with what they had lost during this period, it was enough to crush Gringotts.

However, the actions of the Malfoy family accelerated this process a bit.

Even better than the effect of Darwin making a move himself.

The reason was very simple.

This was Britain after all.

Although the Rosier family was one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight,

it was not Darwin's branch of the Rosier.

The reason why Britain could now recognize Darwin's branch of the Rosier as a British pure-blood family was very simple.

Interests!

But ultimately, Darwin's branch of the Rosier did not have that much influence in Britain.

However, the Malfoy family was different.

As a native British pure-blood family, and also one of the best among the pure-blood families,

in a sense, the Malfoy family could influence the decisions of these pure-blood families to a large extent.

Take now for example.

The Malfoy family emptied its vault.

Making some other pure-blood families notice something abnormal.

People, after all, always liked to overthink and guess.

Especially when it was tied to their own interests.

In the eyes of these pure-blood families, the Malfoy familymight have received some news in advance.

Therefore, Lucius made the decision to empty the vault.

What else was there to say? Just follow immediately.

Thus, Gringotts fell into an even greater crisis.

Of course, by the time everything fermented to its limit, a month had already passed.

In mid-October, inside Hogwarts Castle,

Darwin, Cassandra, and Gemma Farley were walking in the corridor.

Gemma Farley said, "The weather has gradually cooled down recently, Chief, you must keep warm."

Darwin said, "Living in the dungeon, we really should pay more attention to this issue."

Gemma Farley smiled and said, "You are right, but who made this the characteristic of Slytherin?

So, are you still going to Ravenclaw today to challenge their chief?"

Hearing this, Darwin's face turned dark.

Outrageous, truly extremely outrageous.

Speaking of Ravenclaw's chief position, Darwin had been going to challenge it every day since last week.

But every time he failed.

The reason was very simple; Ravenclaw's setup really had a problem.

Darwin was very sure of this point—this house had something wrong with it.

No, to be precise, the person Ravenclaw had something wrong with her.

As Ravenclaw's chief, it didn't test your learning ability, nor did it test your strength.

It purely tested your brain.

To sit on Ravenclaw's chief throne, you needed to answer brain teasers.

Ten of them!

If it were in Daxia, based on Darwin's experience and the bombardment of the information age, Darwin felt that it shouldn't be a big problem.

However, this was Britain.

English pun jokes, coupled with some brain teaser problem-solving ideas here in Britain,

Darwin really had no clue at all.

This made Darwin very angry.

The best time, Darwin answered eight questions correctly.

And fell on the ninth question.

At that time, it made Darwin so angry that he almost smashed that damned throne directly.

Really, he had never seen such an outrageous setting.

Moreover, he had been very busy recently and truly had no time to study those damned brain teasers.

Returning to the common room,

Darwin went to chat with Slytherin as usual.

Now Slytherin's favorability had reached 39.

It was just a little short of meeting the conditions for the second draw.

Inside the throne space, two sofas were placed.

This was what Slytherin had conjured up.

Mainly because Darwin came every day, and sitting on the ground every day wasn't a solution.

Seeing Darwin,

Slytherin said, "You came earlier than usual today, didn't you go to Ravenclaw?"

Darwin shook his head: "No, I've been very busy recently, and I truly have no time to fight with those damned brain teasers."

Slytherin smiled: "You need to have patience."

Darwin nodded: "You are right, Your Grace, so, have you solved those brain teasers I left for you yesterday?"

Slytherin's expression stiffened.

"Perhaps, at times, you can try changing your perspective to solve problems."

Darwin rolled his eyes.

Changing the subject whenever he encountered a hard-to-answer question.

"So, Your Grace, you didn't solve them, right?"

Slytherin said: "This is why I don't like you, Darwin.

You always say things that are unpleasant to hear."

Darwin smiled: "There is a saying in Daxia: Honest advice is hard to the ear, but beneficial to action, Your Grace!"

Slytherin suddenly laughed.

"I've started to like you again. You always manage to say things that seem useless, but actually give you all the advantages."

As Slytherin's voice fell,

the next moment, in Darwin's mind,

a crisp "ding" sound rang out.

[Ding, Salazar Slytherin's favorability increased, current favorability 40.

The requirement for the second reward draw has been met. Would the host like to draw now?]

Chapter 146: Another Draw, God-tier Talent.

Darwin's eyes instantly lit up.

Finally, it was enough.

Darwin stood up, saying, "Your Excellency, see you later, I have matters to attend to!"

Without waiting for Slytherin to react, he finished speaking.

Darwin's figure directly faded and disappeared on the spot.

Slytherin raised his hand slightly.

Darwin's speed was so fast that even he was a bit dazed.

At this moment, the phantom projections of the other three of the Four Founders appeared.

Ravenclaw was sitting on the sofa.

"That child, why didn't he go to challenge the throne today?"

Slytherin rolled his eyes.

"Rowena, tell me honestly, do you know the answers to those questions you put in your throne?"

Rowena thought for a moment and said, "Most of them, I know."

As Rowena spoke, what awaited her were the suspicious gazes of the three.

Rowena gave a light cough.

"Fine, most of them I don't know.

They are all various interesting little questions I collected over so many years, and then I just crammed them all in blindly.

I also really want to know the answers to those questions."

Hearing this, the corners of the other three members of the Four Founders twitched slightly.

Indeed, their guess was correct.

Ravenclaw really didn't know the answers to these questions.

In fact, every time Darwin went through the trials, they were watching.

Those questions, they had never even heard of them.

Not only had they never heard of them, but the key was also that they were outrageously absurd.

More than once they sighed that Rowena, who could think of such questions, was truly a talent.

But now it seemed that this was not what Rowena thought of at all.

This fellow just stuffed whatever she found into it.

Hufflepuff said, "Then does he still have a chance to pass the level?"

As soon as these words came out, several people fell silent.

Slytherin asked, "So, Rowena, tell me honestly, is there any other way to pass?"

Ravenclaw thought for a moment: "It's very simple, just forcefully break through my setup directly."

Ravenclaw said casually.

Slytherin's eyes lit up instantly.

Ravenclaw said, "Don't even think about it. You wouldn't think that he has this strength right now, would you?

I admit, it's true that he is a variable, and he is also very strong, but the current him can definitely not achieve it."

Ravenclaw said it decisively.

In Slytherin's mind, he recalled the joy on Darwin's face when he left just now.

"That, well, is really not certain."

...

In the Head Boy's dormitory.

Darwin had already finished bathing and changing clothes.

Just kidding, this was a draw from Slytherin.

Darwin naturally had to be a bit more solemn.

As usual, after worshiping whatever Sanqing, the Great God of magic, Merlin, Harry-lujah, and all sorts of messy whatever gods.

Anyway, if there really were gods in this world, Darwinhoped that this time it could bless him once.

Darwin took a deep breath.

Then, his finger pressed on the draw interface.

"Give me gold, give me gold, give me gold!"

Darwin chanted silently in his heart.

Really, it was hard for a person not to like this kind of gambling dog's thrill.

Just like Darwin at this moment.

It was too exciting, really too exciting.

As the familiar draw interface began to change.

It gradually stopped.

A moment later, a pleasant voice came.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully copying Salazar Slytherin, obtaining the reward: Max-level Dark Arts Talent.]

[Ding, detected that the host possesses Max-level Dark Arts Talent at the limit level, and can now fuse and evolve into a God-tier Talent.]

[Please note that this operation will have certain risks. Does the host wish to fuse now?]

Three consecutive prompt tones made Darwin's eyes widen.

It was Dark Arts Talent again, which could be upgraded to a God-tier Talent.

God-tier ah.

Darwin was excited in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed it.

"System, tell me what the risks are?"

The system's words were very clear.

Fusion has risks.

Darwin was never a reckless person.

He wouldn't joke with his own life.

[Ding, God-tier Talent is the talent of gods.

When a new God-tier Talent appears, it might be noticed by gods.]

Darwin was suddenly shocked.

"Gods? Are there really gods in this world?"

[Ding, yes.]

The system's answer was very brief.

But the content revealed was not simple at all.

Goodness gracious, there really are gods in this world.

Darwin said, "What impact does being noticed by gods have on me?"

[Ding, temporarily unknown, currently detecting.]

[Detection ended. The gods of this world cannot intervene in anything in this world for the time being, so there will not be the slightest impact.]

[However, when the gods can intervene in this world, the host might become the most eye-catching fellow that the gods pay attention to.]

[Attracting the attention of gods has both advantages and disadvantages. Some gods might want the host's life, while others might choose to cultivate the host.]

[Everything depends on the host's luck.]

[However, please note that God-tier Talent is the ladder to becoming a god. If the host does not have the blessing of God-tier Talent, the upper limit will at most reach the height of the Four Founders.]

[Please consider carefully, host.]

Darwin fell silent.

The system said a lot, and the information revealed was also very clear.

The attention of gods is not necessarily a bad thing, but it is not necessarily a good thing either.

Most importantly, there are gods in this world.

Gods are immortal and indestructible, and gods are high above.

If he didn't fuse the talent of the gods.

Then he would never be able to reach that height.

He could only reach the level of the Four Founders.

Then, would he always be a chess piece, always just an ant?

Darwin was wavering in his heart.

He couldn't quite make up his mind.

Risks, there were definitely.

But the benefits were also very obvious.

Should he gamble, should he give it a try, should he break through into this realm that only gods can step into?

Darwin clenched his fists tightly.

Gamble, or not gamble.

He needed to decide quickly.

Looking at the two options of whether to fuse below on the virtual light screen.

Darwin clenched his fist abruptly.

Screw it, those were gods.

They were immortal and indestructible gods.

The eternal life that Darwin had always wanted was laid out right in front of him.

What did he have to hesitate about?

As for the attention of gods, let them pay attention if they wanted to.

The system also said that the gods would not intervene in this world for the time being.

Who knew when they would be able to intervene.

Maybe in a few hundred years.

By then, Darwin himself would have already become a god.

With the help of the system, he didn't believe that his future upper limit could still be low.

Since it was like this, let them pay attention then.

If there really were any problems, at worst it would just be a battle.

He would rather die standing than live on his knees.

Thinking of this.

Darwin hesitated no longer.

His finger fiercely pressed down on the "Yes" option button.

As Darwin's finger pressed down.

The system's voice came.

[Ding, talent fusion begins. The estimated fusion time is one hour. During this period, the host will fall into a coma, and the system will temporarily protect the host's body. Please rest assured, host, fusion begins!]

Chapter 147: Terrifying and Massive Improvement.

As the system's voice faded, Darwin hadn't even had time to react.

His head tilted to the side, and he passed out directly.

His last thought before losing consciousness.

Darwin cursed the system several times.

"This damn system, why didn't it mention such an important matter?"

Unfortunately, Darwin didn't have the chance to dwell on it further.

Because by this time, his consciousness was gradually sinking into darkness.

A layer of golden light enveloped his body the moment Darwin passed out.

Runes began to circulate across the surface of his skin.

...

An hour passed very quickly.

Darwin's consciousness returned.

The next moment, a constant tinkling of prompt tones echoed in his mind.

[Ding, host talent changed, Max-level Dark Arts Talenthas transformed into God-level Dark Arts Talent.]

[Ding, affected by the talent, the host's spells have begun to upgrade.]

[Imperius Curse Advanced Mastery has upgraded to Imperius Curse Max-level Mastery.]

[Avada Kedavra Max-level Mastery has upgraded to Avada Kedavra God-level Mastery.]

[Fiendfyre Control Max-level Mastery has upgraded to Fiendfyre Control God-level Mastery.]

[Legilimency Max-level Mastery has upgraded to Legilimency God-level Mastery.]

[Ding, affected by Fiendfyre Control, Fiendfyre: Clears the Way and Protego Diabolica Max-level Mastery have upgraded to God-level Mastery.]

[Ding, affected by the talent, the mastery level of Dark Arts mastered by the host has increased.]

[Cruciatus Curse Intermediate Mastery has upgraded to Cruciatus Curse Advanced Mastery.]

[...]

The continuous prompt tones made Darwin feel like his brain was about to explode.

However, this news put him in an exceptionally good mood.

God-level, it was truly God-level.

Darwin couldn't quite pinpoint what was special about himself.

He only felt that his understanding of spells seemed to have become much clearer.

Specifically, he couldn't quite put it into words; he would only know after using them.

However, the system's prompt tones weren't finished yet.

[Ding, affected by the talent, the God-level talent passive has been activated.]

[God-level Dark Arts Talent effect: Enhances the power of all Dark Arts, provides a unique affinity for Dark Arts, and reduces the magic consumption when using Dark Arts.]

Darwin was simply too satisfied.

This God-level talent was far, far stronger than he had imagined.

Right now, he really wanted to test the power of his spells.

Darwin had always been a man of action.

He did whatever came to his mind.

Speaking of which, where should he go to test them?

Darwin's eyes lit up.

Perhaps there was something he could use for an experiment.

Darwin looked towards the direction of the Forbidden Forest.

There seemed to be a group of Acromantulas over there, right?

Those creatures were definitely not beneficial insects.

Moreover, Darwin also needed some Acromantula venom.

He had originally thought of asking Cassandra to go get it in a couple of days.

Since he wanted to conduct experiments himself, he might as well go do it himself.

Darwin rolled out of bed and set off for the Forbidden Forest!

...

Time rewound to right when Darwin had just woken up.

The very instant Darwin's God-level talent finished fusing successfully—

In some mysterious space somewhere unknown, amidst the darkness,

a pair of eyes suddenly snapped open.

Within the dim space, that pair of eyes was exceptionally bright.

Within the pupils, galaxies seemed to be flowing.

"God-level? Who is it? Are mortals once again attempting to wield the authority of gods?"

As it spoke, that pair of eyes blinked gently.

The gaze seemed capable of piercing through space, searching for something.

However, around Darwin, the system's barrier had not yet dissipated, and that pair of eyes gained nothing.

A trace of doubt flashed across the giant eyes.

"Why is there nothing?"

The same thing was happening in many places.

There were dense primeval forests, ancient temples, magma beneath volcanoes, and vast oceans.

In short, no matter where it was, the same thing was happening.

They all made the same actions as the owner of the starry giant eyes.

Yet all of them came up empty-handed.

Aside from that, within the throne room.

the Four Founders, who had been speaking earlier, abruptly stopped their voices.

The three members of Slytherin abruptly turned their heads to look at Hufflepuff beside them.

Hufflepuff did not speak.

She merely closed her eyes, and streams of magic circulated around her.

Moments later.

Hufflepuff opened her eyes: "Indeed, it is the power of a god."

Slytherin frowned and said: "They shouldn't appear at a time like this."

Gryffindor said: "An unexpected change has occurred. Who knows what has caused them to start paying attention to this world once again."

Ravenclaw said: "This is not a good thing for us."

Slytherin said: "Has the time been advanced?"

Hufflepuff shook her head: "It doesn't seem so."

Slytherin said: "That's fine then. As long as it hasn't been advanced, everything remains within our control."

Ravenclaw said: "Salazar, things have never been something we can control. What you call controllable is quite laughable. We have never been able to call the shots, nor can we interfere."

Slytherin said: "Fine, you're right, but do you have to be so rigorous? Giving oneself a little hope is also a good thing. After all, what we have to face are gods."

Ravenclaw did not speak.

Clearly, asking someone who studied academics to not be rigorous was truly making things hard for her.

The four of them fell into silence, and none of them spoke further.

...

Inside the Forbidden Forest.

Darwin was strolling around inside the Forbidden Forest.

To be honest, he was a bit lost at the moment.

That's right, simply lost.

This Forbidden Forest was so huge.

Darwin truly had no idea where the Acromantulas were.

Obviously, the habitat of the Acromantulas was not marked on the Hogwarts map.

However, Darwin had his own methods.

Anyway, just heading deeper in would do the trick.

If he couldn't find the Acromantulas, he would naturally find other dangerous magical creatures.

After all, the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts ranked high among the dangerous forests registered with the Ministry of Magic.

Have you ever seen the moon in the Forbidden Forest at midnight?

Darwin hadn't seen it either.

Because as he ventured deeper, he found that there were more and more tall trees in the Forbidden Forest.

They blocked out the sky and the sun.

Let alone the moon, there wasn't a shred of light.

Darwin still had to use Lumos to clearly see the road ahead.

To be honest, this Forbidden Forest was a bit creepy.

Darwin stopped in front of a large tree and rubbed his chin.

Wait, why could this big tree grow to look so abstract?

Darwin looked at the trunk; a normal tree trunk was a straight line.

But this big tree was different; it was deformed, and right in the middle of its straight trunk, it bulged outwards.

It looked just like a ghost face.

To be reasonable, Darwin felt that within this Forbidden Forest,

leaving aside the level of danger for a moment, the main reason people wouldn't easily venture deep inside, Darwinfelt, was mostly out of fear.

Right at this moment, a loud crash suddenly came from the darkness, instantly attracting Darwin's attention and giving him a start.

"Is there some excitement to watch?"

(Resting for a day on the 31st, no need to wait for updates. Updates will resume normally on the 1st.)

Chapter 148: Professor Quirrell Fights an Adult Unicorn?

What could the commotion in the Forbidden Forest be?

Option One: A battle between magical creatures.

Option Two: Someone broke into the Forbidden Forest and is fighting with magical animals.

Then, at this moment, without a doubt, it must be Option Two.

Even Darwin knew who both sides of the fight were.

Aside from our Mr. Tom Riddle, who else would break into the Forbidden Forest at this hour to fight magical animals?

Anyway, Darwin felt that nobody else had that much idle time.

Voldemort was in a terrible state right now.

Ever since he was backstabbed by Lily Potter using ancient magic.

Using her own life as a catalyst, she rebounded the Avada Kedavra cast by Tom.

If it were not for the fact that Voldemort had a Horcrux, coupled with a twist of fate that split a portion of his soul into the body of Harry Potter,

our Mr. Tom might have truly kicked the bucket.

Later, Voldemort fled with his soul fragments to the Albanian Black Forest and became a squirrel.

And he encountered the unlucky Professor Quirrell.

Now possessing Quirrell, his soul was being consumed every single second.

The human body was miraculous, and its tolerance was very strong, but it was limited to tolerating things that a human body could accept.

Obviously, the soul fragments of Tom were not among them.

Therefore, with the soul fragment possessing him, even though Quirrell was unwilling, the soul fragment of Voldemort was still being consumed by his body every moment.

Similarly, the body of Quirrell was also being consumed.

So, to resist this consumption, Voldemort had only one method.

Unicorn blood was magical.

As the darlings of heaven and earth, as the most wondrous creation of nature,

Unicorn blood had multiple wonderful uses.

But perhaps also to protect this holy creature,

nature had set a restriction for the Unicorn.

Anyone who hunted a Unicorn and drank Unicorn blood would bear a curse.

No one could be spared.

Even if your strength was formidable, it would not work.

Voldemort at his peak, Grindelwald at his peak, neither dared to touch this.

That was precisely because of this reason.

But Voldemort now had no other way; he could only choose to make a desperate move.

What? You ask what about the curse?

Stop joking, the one who drank the Unicorn blood was Quirrell, was it not?

Mr. Tom only needed to draw upon the vitality of Quirrell.

The eyes of Darwin grew brighter and brighter.

Speaking of which, this method actually did not sound bad at all.

Unicorn blood could replenish vitality. Make someone drink the Unicorn blood, and then absorb the vitality of the person whose vitality was replenished.

Could this achieve immortality?

Darwin felt that he should find some time to catch a few people to experiment.

In the spirit of scientific rigor.

As soon as Darwin arrived, he saw Changwei beating Laifu...

No, that was wrong; it was the Unicorn beating up Quirrell.

That was right, it was the Unicorn heavily beating up Quirrell.

Darwin was shocked.

Bro, what were you thinking, provoking an adult Unicorn?

The habits of Unicorns were very strange.

They were gregarious, but they only gathered together when sleeping; at other times, they all wandered around individually.

And when Wizards wanted to capture or hunt down a Unicorn, that was also the most suitable time.

And within a Unicorn herd, there would usually only be one adult male Unicorn.

This point was somewhat similar to a pride of lions.

Once they reached adulthood, they needed to go out alone to carve out a new herd, both for the reproduction of the herd and to maintain the authority of the adult male Unicorn.

And inside the Forbidden Forest lived a Unicorn herd.

Adult Unicorns were actually not very easy to distinguish, but coincidentally, Darwin was very curious about this creature, so naturally he had studied them a bit more.

The only difference between an adult and a sub-adult Unicorn of the same size was that single horn.

A newborn Unicorn had spiral patterns on its horn.

As it aged, the horn patterns would gradually fade.

Until after reaching adulthood, that single horn completely transformed into a jade-white color.

And the combat power of an adult Unicorn was terrifying.

This thing was completely overpowered.

That single horn could poke several transparent holes in a person's body in close combat.

From a distance, this guy could summon thunder and lightning through its horn.

Note that it was the kind with no pre-casting delay.

Just like right now, Darwin watched Quirrell fleeing in a sorry state with bolts of thunder striking down right behind him, and silently mourned for him in his heart.

If nothing unexpected happened, this guy definitely did not see clearly because it was too dark.

Adult male Unicorns had very bad tempers.

Darwin hid behind a tree, watching this battle.

Quirrell fled in all directions, while behind him the Unicornstamped its hooves on the ground.

Upon the horn, electric arcs flowed.

A bolt of thunder had already descended from the sky.

Quirrell was already using all four limbs.

Terrifying, extremely terrifying.

Quirrell was about to cry.

He did not want to come in the first place; killing a Unicornwould bring a curse.

But he also did not dare to disobey the orders of Voldemort.

Therefore, he could only come.

As a result, after finally finding a Unicorn, it turned out to be an adult male Unicorn.

He really had not seen clearly; it was too dark.

It was not until the thunderous power of the Unicorn fell that he reacted.

"Master, save me, save me, I cannot dodge anymore!"

Voldemort was also cursing Quirrell straight in his heart at this moment.

"Damn it, you trash, hand the body over to me!"

The next moment, the aura on the body of Quirrellsuddenly changed.

Puffs of chilling auras gushed out from the body of Quirrell.

That adult male Unicorn visibly froze for a moment.

A pair of eyes revealed human-like apprehension.

Darwin also became interested.

Voldemort took over the account.

Were they going to fight?

Darwin was still quite curious about how much combat power Voldemort could unleash right now.

As for whether he could win, Darwin did not need to consider this question.

If it were Voldemort in his complete state, it would probably be a fight, but Voldemort in this remnant soul state...

To be honest, it was still lacking.

Just when Darwin was looking forward to the combat power of Voldemort,

he saw black mist rising into the air.

Darwin was stunned, and the battle-ready adult Unicornwas also stunned.

Ran? Just ran like that?

You have to admit, Voldemort was truly decisive.

In fact, running at this time really seemed to be the optimal choice.

After all, with the strength of an adult Unicorn, Voldemortin his current remnant soul state simply could not withstand it.

Moreover, the commotion of a fight would be too large and easily attract the attention of Dumbledore.

Although Dumbledore had long known about the matter of Voldemort and Quirrell,

and had even arranged them to be the trial stones for the Savior,

the choice of Voldemort was indeed the optimal solution.

It was just a pity that he did not get to witness the combat power of Voldemort in his remnant soul state.

Darwin looked toward that adult male Unicorn.

Seeing the enemy leave, the lightning on the sharp horn of that adult Unicorn gradually dimmed, its body went limp, and it slumped onto the ground.

Chapter 149: The Peculiarity of God-Level Spells.

Sure enough, just as Darwin judged, there was never a truly invincible creature in this world.

An adult Unicorn was indeed very strong, but similarly, the consumption to drive the thunder was also huge.

At least for now, the aura emanating from this Unicorn was quite weak.

However, this had nothing to do with Darwin.

Darwin had no thoughts whatsoever about the Unicorn's life.

This thing could not be killed.

Darwin certainly didn't want to inexplicably carry a curse.

Speaking of which, what kind of curse was the one brought by a Unicorn?

Darwin suddenly felt that this thing also had research value.

Indeed, the Wizarding World was full of treasures, depending on whether you could discover them.

Shaking his head, Darwin intended to leave and continue searching for Acromantula test subjects.

However, just at this moment, a rustling sound came from the woods.

It instantly attracted Darwin's attention.

Darwin turned his head to look and found that one Acromantula after another was crawling out from the woods.

Their target was precisely that resting male Unicorn.

That male Unicorn also sensed it.

Standing up, a flash of electricity flickered atop its horn, but it quickly extinguished.

It was very obvious that this male Unicorn was tired; it could no longer support itself for another battle.

That male Unicorn neighed with a hint of despair in its eyes.

Seeing that the Unicorn had no remaining strength to fight again, those Acromantulas instantly lit up their eyes one by one.

Saliva was dripping toward the ground.

Magical creatures did not have the saying of a Unicorncurse; this belonged to normal ecology, the law of the jungle.

Therefore, they could kill the Unicorn, and they could also eat the Unicorn.

Because this was inherently on their menu.

Meanwhile, Darwin's eyes lit up.

Wasn't this a coincidence?

Saying he wanted to find an Acromantula, and an Acromantula delivered itself to his doorstep.

The Acromantulas were numerous in number, slowly approaching the Unicorn.

Their eyes were filled with greed and murderous intent.

The Unicorn raised its front hooves high and brought them down heavily.

This was a demonstration, and also an intimidation.

However, its outwardly strong but inwardly weak nature had long since been seen through.

Therefore, far from making these Acromantulas afraid, the Unicorn's demonstration...

...instead gave them an urge to eagerly try.

Darwin shook his head; this Unicorn was in a difficult spot.

But who made him so kind-hearted?

Darwin liked creatures like Unicorns.

Therefore, Darwin decided to save it.

As for the Acromantula, stop joking; if it were a crawling pet, small and cute, it would still be acceptable.

An Acromantula?

This thing, who could ever like it?

Finally, an Acromantula couldn't hold back anymore.

Its body leaped high, attacking straight toward the Unicorn.

Seeing this, the Unicorn laboriously raised its hooves to prepare to meet the enemy.

However, at this very moment.

Amidst the darkness, a green light shot straight out.

The green light was extremely fast, piercing straight through that Acromantula's body.

Furthermore, the green light did not disappear; along with the subsequent several Acromantulas being completely pierced through, its magic then dissipated and it vanished entirely.

In the woods, Darwin was stunned for a moment.

Followed immediately by great joy.

Penetration?

You must know that whether it was the Avada Kedavra or other spells...

...they all produced effects after acting on the target and would then directly disappear.

And now, his Avada Kedavra could actually penetrate?

What did this mean?

The Avada Kedavra was notoriously unblockable.

In other words, it could not be blocked by any spell.

To survive under the Avada Kedavra, there were only three ways.

The first was just like Lily, using an ancient spell to transfer the damage.

But today, when ancient spells were lost, the spell Lilyused came with a severe price.

For example, Lily's life.

The second way was to dodge, which was also the method commonly used by most Wizards.

The Avada Kedavra required accuracy, or rather, all spells required accuracy.

Therefore, this was the critical point that determined victory or defeat when Wizards fought.

You needed to anticipate the opponent's landing spot and then make your own spell hit.

This point had stumped many Wizards.

The last way: although the Avada Kedavra was very powerful, it had an absolute flaw.

It could not penetrate; after acting on the target, it would dissipate.

In other words, the Avada Kedavra could be blocked by solid objects.

High-level Wizards generally used a Galleon to transfigure into something to block the Avada Kedavra.

Darwin, Vinda, they both frequently used this method.

And now, Darwin's God-level Avada Kedavra had gained an extra trait.

Penetration.

As long as the magic was sufficient, it could allow the Avada Kedavra to directly pierce through targets.

In other words, the biggest drawback of the Avada Kedavra had now vanished.

Darwin's Avada Kedavra had truly become unstoppable.

This tweak really made it hard for Darwin to keep his lips from curving up.

A God-level Avada Kedavra had this effect.

Then, what about other God-level Dark Arts?

God-level talent, God-level spells—they truly lived up to their reputation.

Darwin, who suddenly made a move, instantly drew the attention of the Unicorn and the Acromantulas.

The Unicorn looked toward Darwin.

As the darling of heaven and earth, the Unicorn had another special ability.

It was able to sense a Wizard's inner heart.

The condition for a Unicorn to choose close partners was a pure-hearted witch.

Why it had to be female, Darwin didn't understand.

But this pure heart meant that the person's heart was kind, absolute, and pure.

And the moment that Unicorn laid eyes on Darwin, it was already stunned.

It had also seen quite a few Wizards.

In its field of vision, purity of the heart was represented by white.

Ordinary Wizards had a lot of white, with some black more or less mixed in the middle.

This was impure, not pure enough.

But Darwin—absurdly enough, in the Unicorn's eyes...

...his soul had not a single bit of white.

Pitch black, a pitch-black expanse.

The Unicorn was completely baffled.

If measured by the purity of the soul...

Could pure black also be considered a kind of purity?

One could only say that this Unicorn thought very correctly.

Who said that extreme black wasn't purity? Just tell you whether there was even a shred of mixed color or not.

Of course, Darwin at this moment was not paying attention to the Unicorn's reaction.

He hadn't forgotten the purpose of this trip.

Testing his God-level spells.

Darwin snapped his fingers gently, and the next moment, a wisp of blue flame ignited from beside his feet.

The flame slowly floated up.

It began to change shape in mid-air.

Gradually transforming into the form of a lotus flower.

Darwin could feel a surging amount of energy from it.

Therefore, the effects brought by the God-level Fiendfyre—the God-level Protego Diabolica and Fiendfyre: Clears the Way—were the same.

Fiendfyre Control was simpler to execute, consumed less magic, and its power was even greater.

Chapter 150: Darwin Evolution, Unicorn Knight!

Darwin directed the lotus flower in his hand toward the Acromantula that was lunging straight at him.

The moment the lotus flower touched its body,

blue flames directly ignited.

In just an instant, that Acromantula was burned directly into powder by the blue flames.

And this was not the end.

After burning the Acromantula away, the lotus flower suddenly exploded,

transforming into blue sparks that flew in all directions.

They landed on one Acromantula after another.

Those Acromantulas didn't even have the chance to scream before being burned directly to ashes.

And after incinerating the Acromantulas, these sparks seemed to have obtained some kind of nourishment,

beginning to grow wildly.

More lotus flowers appeared, following the exact same routine.

Darwin, the initiator of all this, was stunned at this moment.

This... can this be right?

Isn't this a perpetual motion machine?

Fiendfyre burns everything and can never be extinguished.

Unless Finite Incantatem is used to forcibly drain the magic of the Fiendfyre, only then will the Fiendfyre be extinguished.

However, his own Fiendfyre could obtain replenishment through burning.

This also meant that in front of his Fiendfyre, Finite Incantatem would not only fail to suppress it,

but perhaps, Finite Incantatem could even become nourishment for the Fiendfyre?

Good grief, this is getting a bit ridiculous.

Even Darwin felt that he was being a bit ridiculous.

With just one spell of Fiendfyre, more than half of those Acromantulas were directly wiped out.

Not even a corpse was left behind.

The remaining Acromantulas looked at Darwin with fear.

They didn't dare to step forward at all.

When Darwin's gaze swept over them, they even instinctively stepped back.

Darwin was amused, the corners of his mouth curling up.

Interesting, this god-tier spell was even more terrifying and useful than he had imagined.

As for that Unicorn, it was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

It stared blankly at Darwin.

How could this Wizard be so strong?

Judging by his age, he was still just a cub.

How could he possibly be this strong?

Are the cubs of Wizards nowadays all this terrifying?

Able to kill so many Acromantulas with a mere laugh and smile?

You must know that the Acromantula population, even placed in the Forbidden Forest, was definitely not to be messed with.

Yet they were all carnivores.

The magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest could be said to detest the Acromantulas to the core.

And now, so many of these creatures they loathed so deeply had already died in such a short amount of time?

This was truly too terrifying.

Darwin raised his hand, intending to continue experimenting.

However, before he could make a move,

those Acromantulas suddenly turned around and all fled,

leaving Darwin standing here by himself, inexplicably feeling a bit awkward.

No, wait, they were Acromantulas!

And they just ran away like that?

Can this be right?

Darwin's face darkened.

His test subjects had just run away like that; the most crucial part was that he hadn't even acquired any Acromantula venom yet.

Forget it, let them run.

Anyway, the venom of these ordinary Acromantulas was just average.

Just in time, he could follow the direction these Acromantulas left in a moment,

and then go find that giant, oldest spider who had bred a massive Acromantula population all by himself, Aragog.

Darwin turned his head to look at that Unicorn.

That Unicorn was startled.

It instinctively stepped back.

Darwin's brow furrowed instantly.

What the heck, he had just saved it, yet this thing didn't know how to show gratitude at all?

When the adult Unicorn saw Darwin's furrowed brow, it became even more frightened.

It hurriedly paced over, lowered its head, and nuzzled Darwin's shoulder.

It even thoughtfully avoided poking Darwin with its horn.

Darwin's movements froze abruptly.

Huh? This Unicorn was getting close to him?

He took back what he just said; this Unicorn was sensible.

It wasn't that it didn't know how to be grateful.

However, wasn't it said that Unicorns only got close to kind and pure Witches?

It seemed the rumors were wrong too.

Unicorns didn't care about gender; as for the claim about being kind and pure, that should be correct.

Otherwise, why would this Unicorn get close to him?

Darwin raised his hand and curiously touched the Unicorn's horn.

Heavens, Merlin be praised, he touched a Unicorn's horn!

Ordinary people couldn't understand his excited mood at this moment.

This was a Unicorn, and this was a Unicorn's horn!

Darwin had been curious about the texture of this thing for a long time.

Now, he had finally gotten his wish.

Not gonna lie, it was very smooth.

The adult Unicorn's body suddenly stiffened for a moment.

It glanced stealthily and saw that there were no terrifying blue flames in Darwin's hand.

Only then did it set its mind at ease.

There was no bottom line that couldn't be broken through by strength.

If there was one, it must be because your strength was not enough.

What, you say Unicorns can only get close to Witches?

Who said that? That was simply because Witches smelled nice.

This cub also smelled quite nice; the smell of blood was quite strong!

As for a pure soul...

When blackened to the extreme, wouldn't that also be pure?

Darwin touched the Unicorn's head: "Can you understand what I'm saying?"

The Unicorn nodded.

Darwin said: "I'm leaving. Do you remember the Wizardwho came to fight you at the very beginning?

He is very evil, and he needs to find Unicorn blood to prolong his life.

If he comes again, you will be in great danger. Therefore, gather your kindred and try to avoid going out alone.

If there is a crisis you cannot resolve, you can perhaps try to come to Hogwarts Castle to find me.

If there's still time, I can save you once."

That male Unicorn nodded.

It neighed a few times.

Then it turned its head and pointed with its mouth toward its own back.

Darwin said: "You want me to get on?"

The Unicorn nodded.

Darwin said: "No need, the road isn't far, and besides, I'm going to find the nest of the Acromantulas, I'm going to find that big spider."

The Unicorn neighed again.

Strangely enough, Darwin actually seemed to be able to understand its meaning.

This cross-species chatting was truly very interesting.

"You know where it is?"

The Unicorn nodded vigorously.

Darwin said: "Alright then, lead the way."

The Unicorn's front legs bent slightly, lowering its height just right for Darwin to reach up.

Darwin rode on the Unicorn's back.

A novel experience, truly an absolute novel experience.

The Unicorn's body was tall and large, far bigger than an ordinary horse.

Moreover, its snowy white fur felt smooth to the touch, without any prickly sensation at all.

Most importantly, there was a very special, fresh fragrance on the Unicorn's body.

It was hard to tell whether it was the scent of grass or the Unicorn's own scent.

In short, this scent was very fragrant and smelled wonderful.

Hmm... it even made one rather hungry.

Darwin hurriedly shook his head, casting aside the messy thoughts in his mind.

Goodness gracious, no wonder the number of Unicorns had decreased.

Isn't this a natural food attractant? Ridiculous, extremely ridiculous.

Chapter 151: A Must-Check-In Ingredient for Time-Travelers.

A Unicorn dashed through the Forbidden Forest.

Moving at an extremely fast speed, Darwin was starting to like it a bit.

If he had such a mount, it would feel pretty badass.

However, he could just think about it.

A Unicorn was the kind of creature that didn't like to move around.

Rather than being rejected by the Unicorn, it was better not to ask at all.

Experiencing it once was enough.

He couldn't think of bringing everything home every single day, could he?

Wouldn't that make him a bandit?

Darwin was definitely not a bandit.

After the Unicorn ran for more than ten minutes.

The environment around Darwin began to change.

It was still the same woods, but the difference was that these trees were covered in spider silk.

Moreover, there was a foul, unpleasant smell in this area.

It made Darwin frown deeply.

The Unicorn stopped in its tracks.

Darwin flipped down from the horse's back.

"Alright, thank you very much. Dropping me off here is enough."

The Unicorn nodded; it didn't want to go deep inside here either.

It smelled too bad.

A Unicorn was a creature with clean habits.

This kind of environment was simply unbearable for it.

The Unicorn lowered its head and rubbed against Darwin's shoulder.

Afterwards, it neighed aloud, turned around, and galloped away.

Watching the Unicorn's retreating figure, Darwin had to admit he felt a little reluctant to see it go.

Such a good mount was truly endearing.

Darwin walked with his hands behind his back, heading deeper towards the territory of the Acromantula.

Sensing the aura of a living person, one Acromantula after another crawled out from their nests.

But none of them made a move; instead, they observed Darwin.

At this moment, a huge Acromantula appeared.

It was visibly stunned after seeing Darwin.

"You actually dare to step foot into the territory of the Acromantula."

Darwin said, "Didn't your descendants report back to you? They managed to escape from my hands, and I am very unhappy about it."

Aragog was stunned: "You are that powerful Wizard? Impossible, you are just a first-year student."

Darwin smiled: "You will find out soon."

About ten minutes later.

Darwin looked at the terrified Aragog before him.

On the ground, there were corpses of Acromantulas everywhere.

It felt great; it really felt great.

These Acromantulas were huge in size, making them truly excellent targets for spells.

Darwin said, "Now, do you know?"

Aragog said, "You are a monster. You are just a first-year student, how can you be so powerful."

Darwin said, "That doesn't matter. The important thing is that the reason I am not killing you is because I need the venom of the Acromantula. The venom of your descendants is a bit lacking in quality."

"But yours is very good. Having accumulated it for so many years, your venom should be quite plentiful, right?"

Aragog said, "Impossible. I am different from them. My venom cannot be used casually, otherwise it will affect my strength and lifespan."

Darwin let out an oh: "It has nothing to do with me, right? I'll give you two choices: first, hand over the venom voluntarily; second, kill you and harvest the venom at top speed."

"Although it will lose some vitality, it is barely acceptable. Who told you not to cooperate."

Aragog was alarmed: "Your Excellency, we can discuss this. You can have as much of their venom as you want."

"I know someone from Hogwarts, Hagrid, do you know Hagrid?"

"I was raised by him, he is also a Wizard, you are all Wizards."

Darwin ignored it; his wand was already drawn.

He looked Aragog up and down, seemingly searching for a place to strike.

Aragog was frightened.

"Listen to me, you listen to me, you can take the venom of the other Acromantulas at will, whenever you need it, you can come over anytime."

Darwin still didn't speak, except that he had already raised his wand.

Aragog shouted, "I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, don't do it!"

Darwin had already proved his strength.

This Acromantula simply didn't dare to resist.

It was too terrifying. It had never thought that a young Wizard could have such terrifying strength.

Half an hour later.

Darwin left carrying a barrel of venom.

Aragog lay weakly on the ground.

What? You ask why it's a barrel?

Oh, Darwin referred to other time-traveler predecessors.

Inside the bag with the Undetectable Extension Charm, he placed an aluminum bucket.

Acromantula venom was one of the magic materials whose price always remained high in the Wizarding World.

Throughout Britain, there was only this single colony of Acromantulas belonging to Hogwarts.

Therefore, this venom was naturally rare.

Not to mention the venom of an ancient and huge Acromantula like Aragog.

Behind him came bursts of angry roars from Aragog.

As well as the sounds of battle.

Obviously, a species like the Acromantulas that frequently experienced internal strife—

There were Acromantulas wanting to take advantage of Aragog's weakness to replace it.

This had nothing to do with Darwin either.

Creatures like Acromantulas were quite magical.

They would submit to force, but they would never truly submit; whenever there was a chance, they would rise up against their superiors.

It was the same within the colony.

If this big spider unluckily died, then the newly ascended Acromantula would eat Aragog's corpse and then usher in a rapid growth phase.

Therefore, Darwin wasn't worried at all about whether he would lose his source of Acromantula venom in the future.

Returning to the castle, Darwin did not return to the common room.

Instead, he came to the kitchen located next to the Hufflepuff common room.

How should he put it? True to being little badgers.

Living next to the kitchen was quite convenient.

Coming in front of that fruit bowl painting, Darwinscratched that pear.

The next moment, the pear directly turned into a doorknob.

Darwin pushed the door open and entered.

Giving all the house-elves a start.

Seeing clearly who had come, the house-elves quickly lowered their heads.

A House-elf who looked like the person-in-charge of the elves walked over.

"Hello, respected Chief Excellency of Slytherin, HogwartsHouse-elf Bido is very glad to serve you, I wonder what you need?"

Darwin said, "Help me make something."

While speaking, Darwin pulled out a huge spider leg from his bag enchanted with the Undetectable Extension Charmand threw it on the ground.

The group of House-elves was startled.

"This is the leg of an Acromantula."

Bido's voice trembled slightly: "Chie— Chief Your Excellency, how would you like it prepared?"

Darwin said, "Barbecued. Right, clean off the hair properly."

When Darwin used to read web novels, someone would always say that the legs of Acromantulas were extremely delicious.

Especially when roasted.

Darwin had been curious for a long time.

So this time he specifically cut one off from Aragog's body to try.

As for the other Acromantulas, players of that caliber weren't even worthy of Darwin eating them?

If he was going to eat, Darwin of course wanted to eat the best.

Bido waved his hand, and two House-elves cautiously stepped forward and hoisted the spider leg onto their shoulders.

Darwin said, "Once it's done, just send it directly to my room."

Chapter 152: The magic Assembly Building Opens!

One hour later.

In the Chief's dormitory, Darwin was eating the exquisitely plated roasted spider legs on his plate.

His eyes grew brighter and brighter.

You don't say, you really don't say, this thing actually tastes pretty good.

Eating it, it has the texture of crab meat, but the taste is different.

It seems a bit like chicken flavor.

This taste is really quite novel.

Chicken flavor, crab meat texture.

To sum it up in one sentence: delicious, extremely delicious.

Darwin's lips curled up; it seemed he had found a pretty good snack.

At this moment, in the Forbidden Forest.

Aragog, who had just ended a great battle and re-suppressed its tribe, was resting on the ground.

There were many wounds on its body, and on the ground was a mess of corpses.

They were all its kind.

But it didn't feel any heartache at all.

Just some of its own kind, as many as it wanted.

Not only did it not feel heartache, but at this moment, it was also feasting heartily.

The corpses of its kind were the greatest nourishment for the currently injured it.

Just at this moment, it suddenly felt a chill on its back.

It seemed to have been stared at by something for a second.

But this feeling came quickly and went quickly too.

Looking at the other offspring of its kind around who dared not move.

Aragog shook the messy thoughts out of its mind.

It needed to eat as soon as possible and then recover its state.

Otherwise, who knows, these offspring and kin might have other thoughts.

In the dormitory.

Darwin happily let out a burp.

Very full, very delicious.

Want to eat it again tomorrow.

...

On the other side, Quirrell was not having such a good time.

In the office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classProfessor.

Quirrell was wailing in agony on the ground.

"Master, Master, please spare me."

Voldemort's cold voice came: "Fool, you actually provoked an adult Unicorn, and you needed me to personally step in so you could escape.

Do you know how heavy the toll was on me when I personally stepped in?

Damn thing, more than enough to spoil, less than enough to accomplish."

Quirrell kept begging for mercy and wailing.

Voldemort's punishment was very simple and unpretentious.

But for Quirrell, it was truly excruciating.

A moment later.

Voldemort seemed to have calmed down.

On the floor of the office, only Quirrell was panting heavily.

His eyes were filled with terror.

Voldemort said: "Fool, I am going to slumber for a period of time. During this time, do not forget your task!

Within three months, find me another Unicorn, drink its blood, and then replenish my energy, understand?"

Quirrell nodded hurriedly.

Voldemort's voice disappeared, and the chilly aura in the office gradually dissipated.

Quirrell leaned against the wall of the office, panting heavily.

The next day, Darwin washed up and walked out of his room.

Cassandra was standing at the door waiting for him.

Darwin was somewhat surprised.

"Eh, Cassandra, I haven't seen you for two or three days."

Cassandra said: "Your Grace, Harry Potter and Draco don't know what they are up to. The two of them haven't been very well-behaved lately, so I've been investigating them these past few days.

To prevent them from bringing unnecessary trouble to you."

Darwin said: "So, what did you find out?"

Cassandra said: "They seem to think that someone in this school wants to cause trouble."

Darwin nodded: "Mhm, and then?"

Cassandra said: "And then? There is no then. I think they had nothing better to do, so I found them some work to do."

Darwin was stunned: "What work did you find?"

"I had Malfoy clean the common room, and had Harry Potter go follow Marcus Flint and do odd jobs when the Slytherin Quidditch team is training."

Darwin was amused: "A very nice arrangement, but Hogwarts is free.

Don't make yourself too tired, Cassandra. At school, one should be relaxed and happy.

When the weekend comes, let's go stroll around Diagon Alley. Just right, our new shop is also about to open."

Cassandra nodded: "Alright, Your Grace."

...

Saturday, Diagon Alley.

Today, Diagon Alley was unusually crowded.

In the entire Diagon Alley, there wasn't even a place to set foot.

Right in the center and most conspicuous place of Diagon Alley.

There stood a five-story building.

It was simply out of place compared to the other ordinary buildings in Diagon Alley.

Luxurious, magnificent.

This was the first impression of everyone who saw this building.

The most conspicuous building in the entire Diagon Alley.

It used five surrounding shops.

Five-in-one.

The shops were bought at a huge price.

Coupled with the contributions of other pure-blood families.

The floor area was extremely large.

And on top of the top floor.

Darwin and Cassandra were standing by the window.

On the street, Daniel, along with Wizards from the Rosierand Worley family, were maintaining order.

The Ministry of Magic also sent Aurors to assist.

Cassandra said: "Your Grace, the heads of the other pure-blood families have arrived. I had people take them to the reception room on the fourth floor."

Darwin nodded.

"Mhm, just have people entertain them well."

Cassandra said: "Don't you need to go see them?"

Darwin shook his head: "No need. What they want isn't to see me; they need to see this bustling scene, they need to see what true business is."

Cassandra nodded as if she understood vaguely.

Darwin didn't explain either.

He picked up his black tea and took a sip.

Looking at the sea of people on the street.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

These five floors were the result of Darwin's layout for a long time.

A total of five floors: the fifth floor was his exclusive space, and the fourth floor was the VIP reception room and conference room.

The third floor sold various magic items, such as Potions, herbs, and magical materials.

The second floor featured various magic items created by Darwin combining Muggle technology.

As for the first floor, it was empty for now.

But there were individual counters there, and no one knew what they were for.

They only thought it was used for reception.

But Darwin's plan for it was a bank!

That's right, a bank.

Darwin was going to start his own bank.

To reiterate, this world is very complex, so complex that one cannot see the path ahead clearly.

But at the same time, it is also very simple.

Especially for ambitious people.

To satisfy your ambition, you need two conditions.

The first is the strength to support one's ambition.

The second is the control that matches one's ambition.

And how do you gain control?

Very simple, you must have a leverage that others can never replicate.

Even if the outside world is in turmoil, even if the patterns change, none of it can affect you.

This is leverage.

And what is the best leverage?

Economy!

That's right, when you control all the economy, when you control everyone's life and death, when your life is tied to whether they can eat.

Then trust me, many people will go out of their way to protect you.

Chapter 153: A story that tugs at the hearts of all Wizards!

And this was Darwin's goal.

Cassandra looked downstairs: "Your Majesty, people from The Daily Prophet have arrived, and it's almost time."

Darwin straightened his suit.

He handed the already empty teacup in his hand to Cassandra.

"Then, we should go down too."

"Having laid out our plans for so long, it's time for us to reap the rewards."

Cassandra nodded.

On the fourth floor, all the pure-blood families gathered here.

Davis Greengrass said: "There are really so many people today."

"It feels like people from the entire British Wizarding World have come here."

Lucius took a sip of red wine and said: "Indeed, the commotion made is truly huge."

"I have a hunch that Darwin's actions today will also be very big."

"I am already looking forward to it a bit."

"He has come out!"

Someone pointed out.

Everyone came to the window and looked downstairs.

At the entrance.

Darwin made his entrance with Cassandra.

Instantly, everyone quieted down.

Only various press agencies and the like were taking pictures.

Darwin nodded slightly: "It is an honor to be able to see so many Wizards here today."

"And I am also very glad that you are able to come to the opening ceremony of the first shop of the Rosier Family in Britain."

At this moment, a reporter raised a hand: "Mr. Rosier, can you tell us what the main business of your shop is?"

"We see that this place is very big, especially big."

Darwin smiled and said: "Of course, Madam, this is also the reason why I appear here, isn't it?"

"I think you must be an impatient person."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present burst into laughter.

That female reporter blushed a little.

Darwin said: "Let's talk about our main business first."

"I have named this place the magic Assembly Building."

"The building is divided into five floors in total. The fifth floor is temporarily closed to the public."

"As for the fourth floor, it is used to receive large customer orders, as well as reception rooms and meeting rooms."

"On the third floor, we will sell magical materials, including but not limited to materials from magical creatures."

"Herbs, and also, Potions!"

Hearing this, everyone suddenly understood; so that was how it was.

These things were not rare.

After all, many people in the Wizarding World relied on this to make a living.

Darwin continued: "In addition to selling, we will also buy them back."

"The significance of the building's existence has never been simply doing business."

"My original intention is to give a future to all Wizards."

"To give all Wizards a way out. What the situation in the Wizarding World is like now, I think everyone knows."

"Wanting to secure a living for survival is actually not that simple."

"Therefore, I promise here that the Rosier magic Assembly Building will acquire all Potions, pricing them according to their effects and rarity."

"Here, there are no unacknowledged Potions, nor are there any Potions that cannot be acquired."

"As long as this bottle of Potion is poured with the Wizard's sweat and the Wizard's hard work."

"Then, the Rosier Family will collect it."

"This is the promise of the Rosier Family, and it is also my promise!"

Darwin's words shocked everyone present.

All Potions—just how high was the gold content of this?

Let's put it this way.

If a Wizard wanted to stay in the Wizarding World and not return to the Muggle world, they had to have the ability to make a living.

However, not all Wizards were top students.

Their studies were not good, or they had serious lopsided subjects.

Therefore, wanting to survive in the Wizarding World was really difficult.

They learned to brew Potions at school.

But not everyone knew many Potion recipes, nor could everyone brew very good Potions.

The Potions brewed by most people faced a dilemma.

That was they couldn't be sold.

That's right, without exaggeration, their Potions couldn't be sold.

Unless they were lucky and happened to encounter someone in need.

But such people were really too few.

And this was also a problem that Darwin had discovered long ago.

Supply and demand in the Wizarding World were very interesting.

For example, your Potion-making skills were average, but you could brew a very rare Potion.

Speaking of which, it seemed quite marketable, right?

But in reality, it was not so, because the people who truly had a demand could not find you.

Even if they found you by fluke.

It could only be said to be good luck.

Most of them could only go find substitutes.

And those Potions became neglected by everyone.

This was the biggest problem facing the Wizarding World.

Supply and demand could not satisfy each other.

And Darwin had set his sights on this point, which was why he bought all Potions.

A reporter from The Daily Prophet asked: "Mr. Rosier, you just said you would acquire all Potions, but what about the quality of the Potions, or the losses if the Potions are not sold after acquisition?"

Darwin said: "Of course, these will all be borne solely by the Rosier Family."

Everyone turned pale with fright.

On the fourth floor, the heads of various pure-blood families also looked at each other in dismay.

This risk was truly a bit too big.

After all, they also did this business.

They knew that many herbs, Potions, and materials actually had expiration dates.

Once this time passed, the things would be ruined.

And now, Darwin was going to bear it all by himself?

Darwin said: "I know that many people cannot understand what I am saying; they might think I am crazy."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I should make one thing clear to everyone today."

"That is, the original intention of building this building."

"Many people feel that this is just a business."

"However, to me, it is not."

"Presumably, everyone should know that the Rosier Family is a pure-blood family."

"Moreover, I remember the Ministry of Magic has statistics showing that the Rosier Family is the family that harbors the most wandering Wizards."

"Even back then, some people said that the Rosier Family intended to subvert the entire Wizarding World."

"The Rosier Family has ambitions."

"Everyone should have heard these rumors."

Everyone was speechless.

That's right, in the Wizarding World, there had indeed always been this saying.

After all, the number of Wizards harbored by the RosierFamily could be called the highest in the world.

No Wizard family had such a huge number of wandering Wizards.

Some said it was because the Rosier Family was exceptionally rich.

Others said that the Rosier Family was hoarding troops.

In short, people said all sorts of things.

Darwin said: "Today, since there are so many people, why don't we make everything clear?"

"Before that, I want to tell everyone a story."

"The story starts three years ago; at that time, I was eleven years old."

"The location of the story is in Heidelberg."

"That day, my grandmother took me shopping in Heidelberg."

"Passing by a Potion specialty store, I saw a Wizard, a raggedly dressed Wizard, with light in his eyes."

"Holding a bottle of Potion in his hands, his eyes held hope, and also pride."

"That was a Potion he brewed with his own hands. Selling this bottle of Potion would give him money to rent a house in the Wizarding World, stay in the Wizarding World, and live the Wizard life he loved most."

"However, less than two minutes after he went into the shop, he was driven out!"

Chapter 154: The Weasley family Called Out!

"The reason he was driven out is very simple. His Potion is the kind we often talk about, a Potion with a very small target audience."

"The Potion shop didn't want to bear the risk that this bottle of Potion might end up stuck in their hands."

"So, they pushed this Wizard out with their own hands."

"At that moment, I saw the light in this Wizard's eyes disappear."

Darwin's voice gradually lowered.

The crowd also fell silent, and many of them had red eyes.

It was as if they were thinking of themselves.

Darwin continued speaking.

"I didn't understand at the time. I could only see that he was very lost, but I didn't understand why he was lost."

"So, I asked my grandmother why he was so lost."

"It was just a bottle of Potion."

"Then, my grandmother explained the reason to me."

"Because this bottle of Potion couldn't be sold, which meant his last path of survival in the Wizarding World was cut off."

"He had to snap his wand and leave the Wizarding World."

Darwin's voice was somewhat low.

This low voice was very touching and easily made people think of themselves.

After all, this kind of thing had never happened to just one person.

Darwin said, "I actually didn't think too much at the time, and I didn't think about why."

"I only knew that I saw a desperate Wizard who was about to leave the Wizarding World."

"So, I bought his Potion and gave him a job."

"Stephen, come up."

Darwin waved in a certain direction.

Beside Daniel, a middle-aged Wizard walked onto the stage.

His face was a bit red and he looked shy, and you couldn't tell that just two days ago he had personally used the Cruciatus Curse combined with the Avada Kedavra to kill several people.

Darwin said, "Stephen, he is the Wizard in my story, and also one of the soldiers among the Rosier family's garrison that you spoke of."

The crowd of Wizards was greatly shocked, and cameras flashed picture after picture on Stephen.

Darwin said, "However, as I grew up, I realized a problem: Stephen's situation was never an isolated case."

"There are too many Wizards facing the same predicament as Stephen."

"I can help one, I can help two, or even a hundred."

"But what about thousands?"

"How can I help, and what else can I do?"

"The Rosier family does not have such a massive scale."

"Neither can I be the Savior, but I really can't bear it—I can't bear to see the light in a Wizard's eyes disappear."

"To see a Wizard need to snap his wand and leave the Wizarding World he deeply loves."

"So, I began to think about how on earth these Wizards could be protected."

"How on earth could the Wizarding World be changed."

"Finally, I thought of it—perhaps I thought of it myself, or perhaps it was the guidance of Merlin."

"It was as if I suddenly saw things clearly overnight."

"Thus, this assembly building appeared."

"The assembly building has never been a business. Just as this lady asked earlier, what if there is a risk, what if those goods end up stuck in hand?"

"Then the Rosier family will bear it all."

"Some people say that what I am doing is very stupid."

"Perhaps so. I am not a smart man; I only know that I might be able to give all Wizards one more way to survive."

"I might be able to give all Wizards a chance."

"I am not the Savior; I simply cannot bear to watch the tragedy of this world."

"Therefore, this building is neither a business nor a tool for me to make money."

"It is a hope, the hope of all Wizards."

"And I am merely providing a platform, using my meager strength to forge a platform."

"This is the meaning of this building's existence, and this is the gift that I, Darwin Rosier, give to you all."

After Darwin finished speaking, thunderous applause instantly erupted at the scene.

People are just like this.

If you do something for your own benefit,

some people will be green with envy, some will be jealous, and some will even criticize.

However, when you put what you do together with righteousness,

when what you do is connected to the interests of everyone,

then you are the Savior, standing on the side of justice.

Camera flashes flickered endlessly.

All the reporters went crazy; they needed to record this moment.

A smile hung on the corner of Darwin's mouth.

Would he lose money?

Of course not. In fact, these Wizards had all fallen into a misconception.

The supply and demand of the Wizarding World needed a platform, and once Darwin built this platform, the supply and demand relationship could be established.

Internal digestion within Britain could guarantee that Darwin would definitely not lose out.

Moreover, don't forget that Darwin came from Germany.

He was the Lord of the Acolytes, which meant that from the very beginning, Darwin's supply and demand platform was not limited to Britain.

Instead, it was Britain plus Germany, and Darwin had already arranged for people to go to France.

By then, this platform would cover the whole of Europe, and even cover the entire world.

Therefore, he would never lose money.

The applause lasted for about three or four minutes.

Darwin raised his hand and pressed down gently.

The applause gradually subsided.

Darwin said, "Alright, that covers the third floor. Next, let's talk about the things on the second floor."

"Cassandra, have someone bring them up."

Cassandra nodded.

She gave a signal to the person standing beside her.

Soon, tray after tray was brought out by people,

and placed on the long table prepared in advance in front of Darwin.

Darwin said, "Next, I will grandly introduce to everyone the latest research achievements of the Rosier family."

"I wonder if anyone still remembers what I said when I was in Germany."

"I said that Muggle technology is terrifying, and it progresses extremely fast."

"Therefore, we should never isolate ourselves from the world; we should absorb the things that are beneficial to us."

The crowd nodded.

Darwin's declaration when he became the Lord of the Acolytes had always left a deep impression on them.

How could they possibly forget it.

Darwin said, "Presumably some people have noticed that the Rosier family has actually been working hard for a long time."

"We created magical cars—new types of vehicles created by combining Alchemy with Muggle technology."

"However, magical vehicles are expensive to manufacture, and I have always been thinking: this is not true integration. What is true integration, what is truly taking from others to make up for one's own shortcomings?"

"It should be Muggle technology beginning to radiate to all Wizards, beginning to change the lives of Wizards."

"Beginning to bring convenience to the lives of Wizards."

"But how should it be done? I have never had a clue."

"Here, I want to make a special expression of gratitude."

"It was they who invited me to be a guest, it was they who helped me find inspiration, and it was they who let me know how to change after all."

"They are none other than the Weasley family."

In the crowd, the Weasley family was suddenly named, and they were somewhat stunned.

With such a big commotion today, the the Weasley familywas definitely going to come and join in the fun.

But they didn't expect to become the protagonists.

Chapter 155 New Products, Energy Stored-Value Cards.

Darwin said, "They invited me to be a guest at their home. In their home, I saw the true best combination of technology and magic."

Therefore, I hereby decide that the the Weasley family will permanently enjoy a fifty percent discount in the building, regardless of product type. As long as it is an industry under the Rosier family, they will permanently enjoy the discount."

"This is the gratitude belonging to the Rosier family, and this is the gratitude belonging to me, Darwin."

As soon as Darwin finished speaking, the system's prompt tone kept ringing in his mind.

In just a short while, the favorability of Arthur and Mollybegan to rise rapidly.

In the end, Arthur's favorability stopped at 32, and Molly's favorability stopped at 38.

Molly's favorability rose much faster than Arthur's.

The reason is very simple; for Molly, she valued discounts more than Arthur.

Being used to poverty, it was understandable.

Darwin continued, "Inspired by the the Weasley family, the Rosier family has launched our latest products."

After Darwin finished speaking, tray after tray was uncovered.

"Magical-tech products, lamps, pots, and all kinds of furniture are available in complete variety.

They adopt the energy core newly researched by the Rosier family.

You never have to worry about energy issues, and furthermore, it integrates Muggle technology.

For example, this oven can control temperature and uses circuit motherboards researched by Muggles to control energy output.

Other products also have similar effects.

Ovens, stir-fry pans, lamps, and so on are all like this."

The eyes of the crowd of Wizards sparkled.

Especially those housewife witches.

Like Molly and the others, to them, these things were simply divine artifacts.

They were truly too useful.

They were also what they needed the most.

Darwin took in all the reactions of these witches; he had long anticipated this scene.

At this time, a Wizard asked,

"Mr. Rosier, is this energy endless?"

Darwin smiled and said, "I'm very sorry. Although I also really want to research endless energy, I cannot do it.

This energy, just like electricity in the Muggle world, needs to be replenished.

If your energy runs out, you can purchase energy replenishment.

Trust me, energy is cheaper than you imagine. A single Galleon is enough to keep an oven running twenty-four hours a day for a month.

However, I suppose no one would let an oven run continuously for a month."

Darwin made a joke, and everyone laughed heartily.

Indeed, the price was really not expensive.

Darwin had also estimated the price in advance.

This price was very appropriate; not only would it not incur a loss, but there was also a profit to be made.

Most importantly, Wizards could accept it.

As everyone knows, the energy business is the most profitable.

What Darwin was doing right now was precisely this.

That Wizard asked again, "When we replenish energy, must we come to the building to replenish it?"

Darwin said, "Yes, temporarily that is indeed the case. Of course, there is another way.

The Rosier family is launching stored-value cards. Everyone can choose to deposit Galleons with the Rosier family, and then exchange them for a stored-value card. This stored-value card will be converted into equivalent energy.

The energy can be directly used to replenish the energy of these magical items, and it can also be used for consumption in the building.

All industries of the Rosier family will accept this energy for consumption.

This saves everyone the trouble of carrying Galleons everywhere."

The crowd of Wizards nodded; this was indeed quite convenient.

Darwin looked at everyone's reactions, the corners of his mouth curving upward.

Sure enough, he was right.

Gringotts was currently in a precarious state.

As for establishing a bank now, these Wizards would find it hard to accept.

But if, as time passed, these people began to get used to directly consuming with energy cards,

then it would gradually replace everyone's consumption habits.

And this was originally Darwin's plan.

To build a trading platform that no one could refuse.

But the currency accepted by the trading platform was only energy.

Then let me ask, in the end, would currency begin to change?

Could energy replace Galleons?

In this way, after everyone began to get used to energy consumption, opening a bank would be a natural progression.

One had to admit that Darwin did things in a tightly linked manner.

Of course, that was a story for another time.

One must eat their meals one bite at a time.

Darwin said, "The second floor sells these magical products.

In addition, for today's grand opening of the new shop, a series of promotional activities will be launched. For details, everyone can wait a moment to check the posted announcement.

I think I have explained the general matters clearly, and there is nothing extra that I need to explain.

So, I wish you all a happy shopping!"

After Darwin finished speaking, he bowed slightly.

Then he led Cassandra and walked upstairs.

Daniel posted a huge poster on the front door.

The crowd hurriedly looked over.

The first thing they saw, and also the most eye-catching, was the stored-value activity.

Top-up bonuses.

Top up Galleons and get energy rewards—a very suitable activity.

Besides that, there were lucky draws, free orders, and all sorts of other messy marketing campaigns.

In short, the Wizards' enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

Molly eagerly rushed to the second floor and began to select and purchase items.

The furniture and kitchenware at home were truly a bit too old.

She also wanted to replace some of them.

And there was also a fifty percent discount.

She pulled Arthur up to the second floor.

Looking at the dazzling array of goods, Molly felt as if she were in heaven.

Molly's eyes glowed with a green light as she suddenly looked at Arthur.

"Arthur, go get a hundred Galleons."

Arthur was greatly shocked: "How much? A hundred? What are you going to do? A hundred Galleons is a huge sum of money!"

Molly said, "Rather than just leaving them sitting there, it's better to store them in the stored-value card. Look, a hundred Galleons gives you ten Galleons' worth of energy as a bonus, making it one hundred and ten, and we still have a fifty percent discount.

That is to say, we can buy two hundred and twenty Galleons' worth of things."

Arthur said, "However, we still need to buy other things, ingredients, clothes, or even books.

These all cost money, and these things are not sold in this building."

Molly said, "Didn't you see what the poster said?

The energy card is universally accepted throughout Diagon Alley; the Rosier family has already negotiated it.

All shops accept this energy card, and we can directly use energy to purchase everything we need.

We no longer need to carry Galleons around; we only need one card."

Upon hearing this, Arthur was also somewhat tempted.

"Alright, then wait for me a moment."

Molly nodded and began shopping while taking advantage of the time Arthur went to fetch the money.

Not long after, Arthur returned.

Molly said, "Let's go get the card made now."

Arthur nodded.

The two came to the first floor, where those service windows on the first floor were all fully open.

Both Molly and Arthur were startled.
