Chapter 7: Mutations

Egypt, the black market, in small shops in Bernard.

Today, this inconspicuous little shop can't help but not open its door, and the glow of magic still shines everywhere inside the closed door, these powerful defenses that have just been activated, are not willing to be lonely to exude their own breath to the outside, of course, everything is blocked by the inconspicuous door, from the outside, this is still an inconspicuous house.

Today, I can't tolerate Bernard being careless, because today's dumb looks a little strange, before I just ate a little resentful spirit in a music box and felt so full, and then I looked listless for a while, obviously looking like I was overwhelmed, but who knew that today I suddenly told Bernard that I still wanted to eat delicious.

But what I didn't expect was that after Dumb ate the soul of Voldemort in the crown, he still wanted to eat it, which made Bernard a little undecided, you must know that just now, Dumb devoured Voldemort's soul in the crown It took a lot of effort, which was completely different from devouring the resentful spirits on the music box before.

The essence of the Horcrux is a powerful guardian that preserves the soul, as far as we know, in addition to the venom of the basilisk, Bernard doesn't know how to break through the protection of the Horcrux, so when he saw Dumb being able to devour the resentful spirits on the music box, Bernard thought that he had found a new way to crack the Horcrux, but the scene just now told him that he still thought too simply, if the Horcrux could be cracked so simply, then it would not be considered a way to eternal life by so many wizards.

No way, at the strong request of Dumb, Bernard took out the ring from his pocket, in fact, Bernard still has great expectations for this ring, if the picture he saw before is really the scene in the story of the three brothers meeting the Grim Reaper, then according to the record in the story, the resurrection stone is an ordinary stone picked up by the Grim Reaper from the side of the road, and then through the hands of the Grim Reaper, it has a powerful magical power.

Bernard scoffed at this. In the scene I saw before, there was nothing on the ground, and if there really was a stone before, could something that existed in that weird place be ordinary?! In addition, the guru asked himself before, do you know the journey after death?

Combining these two points, Bernard is sure that the poet Pedou must have conveyed something to the wizarding world through this kind of story, which is not uncommon in this world, as if Hogwarts was built there because Rowena Ravenclaw dreamed that a warthog took her to the cliffs by the lake, and the four of them decided to build Hogwarts there.

These are a bit similar to legends, there is a bit of a fantasy story narrative technique, is the usual means of the wizarding world, a lot of truth is buried by these stories that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, so Bernard is full of expectations for the resurrection stone, this stone is likely to be from the same world as Dumb, what changes can be brought to Dumb, this is what Bernard is looking forward to.

Gently put the ring on the table, before Bernard could speak, Dumb pounced all at once, just like before, pecked lightly, but this time Bernard found something different from before, obviously, this time Dumb is much easier than before, there was a little tug-of-war when devouring the soul in the crown before, this time it was much simpler, and it came out at once.

And the appearance of the split soul inside is also very strange, the first two times Dumb ate these soul bodies, Bernard could clearly see some human characteristics on these souls, but this one is different, this split soul is completely a dark shadow, Dumb didn't have to make much effort to pull it out of the resurrection stone, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, Bernard guessed that it should be the power of the resurrection stone itself that assimilated Voldemort's split soul, can the split soul in this state still be called Voldemort's split soul? Even at the end, if the main soul is killed, can the split soul in the ring be resurrected? Bernard was puzzled.

Now that I think about it, Dumbledore was really unlucky enough, he lost half his life for a useless ring, and in the end, he died directly because of a fake, although there are ingredients of his own design in it, but now it seems that without the wrong start of the ring, then the back must be different, so self-proclaimed, Bernard carefully took a few steps back and then drew his wand.

Because just now, Dumb, who had eaten Voldemort's other split soul, seemed to have nothing at all, but just when he turned around and wanted to fly back to the perch, he suddenly began to struggle, and then "bang", a black flame ignited all over his body, and the dumb who began to burn was like a black hole, and the surrounding light began to distort, and the temperature in the room seemed to be absorbed by Dumb, and a thin layer of ice formed on the floor around the flames.

After taking a few steps back cautiously, Bernard sensitively noticed that the power of the previous protective spells in the room seemed to be declining, just like the passing temperature in the room, they seemed to have been absorbed by Dumb. Bernard, who discovered this, immediately made a decision to increase the output of mana.

A simple "light spell" was launched from the tip of Bernard's wand, and those lights composed of magic should have been emitted into the air irregularly, but the strange thing was that these bright lights were all pulled to Dumb, and countless wisps of light formed a beam of light, connecting Bernard and Dumb.

After feeling the frequency of Dumb's absorption of magic power, Bernard found that it was only a little higher than the magic frequency naturally emitted by the wizard itself, and after discovering this, Bernard deliberately increased the output of magic power a little. As if he had found a baby bottle, Dumb slowly moved towards Bernard, and even began to consciously absorb the magic power.

In this way, one person and one bird in the room, one output and one absorption, launched a three-hour tug-of-war, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall again, Bernard touched his nose a little helplessly, the three-hour magic output is a big burden for him now, the only thing to be thankful for is that just now, the frequency of Dumb absorbing magic has decreased significantly.

Just when Bernard was resentful, Dumb suddenly broke the magic link between them, and then the black flame seemed to have absorbed enough fuel, and began to slowly expand and explode, and countless sparks fell to the ground like scattered starlight, and in the countless sparks sprayed, a new Dumb appeared in the air.
