Alexey had mastered the universal spells, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, and the associated spells, all of which he had learned.

There are also some unpopular techniques that he needs to study slowly.

Drake, however, was confident that it only took him about three months to learn it all.

In three months, he had completed and mastered what would take years for an ordinary wizard to learn.

He waved his wand and pointed slightly at Alexei, who had a look of fear in his eyes and had transformed into a small turtle in his Transfiguration.

"Very well, it seems that this transformation is quite perfect."

He slipped Alexey's turtle into his pocket and walked out of the hunter's hut, casting a spell and chanting "Flames" from his mouth, sending out a cloud of flames that burned the hut to ashes.

Hiding his tracks was a way he learned to evade the enemy's tracking.

He didn't know how powerful the wizards in Moscow were, or what magic they possessed that he didn't know about, but after setting off the fire, he believed he didn't have to worry too much about it.

"There are still a lot of targets on the hunt list. However, killing these people is only a means, and if I want to rule, I still need to be with my own party members, and these people need to assist me in my actions......"

"The Moscow Ministry of Magic is a threat, they noticed my presence, and sooner or later they will strike at me, there are also huge wizarding forces in the entire Soviet Union, if they unite against me, it will become a big trouble, so, I should take the initiative to integrate the forces of wizards."

"Of course, the most important thing is strength, in the face of ordinary human beings, my party is not enough to occupy this country, let alone comprehensively suppress the current Soviet regime; On the other hand, if I face the wizarding world, my current strength is obviously not enough. ”

Drake walked slowly, thinking about his next move.

"I need to strengthen myself and improve a magic path that belongs to me, and now for me, I must first further enrich myself, so as to absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools and absorb more knowledge for reserves."

He had his own thoughts, and his heart moved slightly, knowing what his next goal was.

————————

During the Soviet era, the land was separated from the inner and outer world by an iron curtain.

On both sides of the Iron Curtain, the world was divided into two parts, and the Soviet regime, in order to restrict and block the flow of undesirable information, issued a list of banned books of all kinds, and explicitly prohibited printing and publishing.

At the same time, they also continue to collect the books that have been disseminated and published, and carry out clean-up activities for these books.

In the Soviet Union, the ban on books was strictly labelled and included books that were inconsistent with the ideology of the present regime, as well as books that disseminated dissident and hostile proletarian ideologies, or that were related to religious and idealistic tendencies.

Since the enactment of the Publication Decree, newspapers and books have been confiscated or burned.

Later, however, the banned and detained books, documents and materials were no longer burned, but sent to different archives or libraries.

Among these different archives and libraries, Drake chose the Rumyantsev Museum in St. Petersburg, or part of the Rumyantsev Museum, the Rumyantsev Moscow Library.

At that time, the library was based on the rich collection of the famous state activist Count Rumyantsev.

Count Rumyantsev, who died in St. Petersburg in 1826, donated his collection to the library for the purpose of "benefiting the Motherland and education."

From the very beginning of its construction in 1862, the Rumyantsev Library began to accept copies. After the October Revolution, in March 1918, the Soviet government moved to Moscow, and the Rumyantsev Library became the main library of the Soviet Union at that time.

One of the great reasons why Drake has his eye on this library is that he knows that this Rumyantsev library has a hidden special library.

The Vault contained a large number of confiscated books, including a large number of books he needed.

Infiltrating the library's vault didn't cost him much of a chance. Nothing was even magical.

With just a fake identity, he was able to infiltrate the special library, and even took advantage of the closing time to hide in this huge library.

It's a sea of knowledge, but it's also a place where no one cares.

Countless books were crammed into bookcases or piled up in stacks.

Drake soon found that the list of books he had was not very useful, but he was able to get a compilation book that was tied to the list, so that he could get a rough idea of what books were in the special library.

"Fraser, The Golden Bough: A Study in Witchcraft and Religion, First Edition......"

With a flying spell, he summoned the books in the library to his hands, and when he opened them, a new worldview appeared in his eyes.

This book tells the story of various ancient customs and taboos in an ingenious light.

The author of the book departs from his original perspective and observes the evolution of human thought from an extraordinary perspective.

Drake quickly finished the book and held out his wand to summon the next one.

For more than two months, he has been looking at the "forbidden books" in the special library of the Rumyantsev Library over and over again.

Ancient witchcraft, customs and cultures of different peoples, Gnosticism, dualism, primitive cultures, totemism, theosophy, ancient rites of life, oracles, apocalypse, human behavior......

In all kinds of long and grand theories, benevolent and wise opinions, bizarre ideas, and sprinkling large books, there are constantly excavating ideas from another angle, and Drake has his own thoughts in his heart during the long reading.

Unconsciously, he felt that his mind was growing infinitely, and his mind was tumbling with wonderful wisdom.

When he put down the book in his hand and looked back at the magic he had learned from Alexei, he felt like he knew everything.

Dragon blood, magic, wisdom, all kinds of sparks were nurtured in his heart.

The originally narrow world was endlessly magnified in his mind.

Wisdom is not a revelation, but a painstaking search and awakening from the heart.

He raised his wand, no, he could have cast spells without a wand.

Drake tossed his wand and opened his pocket, to which he placed a Traceless Stretching Charm, turning the pocket into a giant bag.

He cast another flying spell, sucking countless books into his pocket.

Drake, who had done this, quickly left the Rumyantsev Library, in case he was being targeted by the Moscow Ministry of Magic.

He walked out of the library and onto the lawn at night.

This night, the sky was full of stars, and Drake, who looked up to see this scene, felt for the first time that he was completely integrated with the earth under his feet and the starry sky above his head.

"In the view of the occult, the material world has never been a separate ......"
