"Oh......"

Rimbaud looked at Scott and sighed.

"Looks like you've completely let yourself go."

Scott shrugged his shoulders.

"I always feel a little unwilling to quit now."

He looked around again.

"Such a formal 'tower' should have been built by sorcerers in ancient times."

As he spoke, he pointed upwards.

"The Stennes Standing Stone was built in the Neolithic period and dates back to 3000 BC......"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to convince me."

Rimbaud said in a helpless tone.

"I will never contradict you."

It flew straight out of the small wooden box lattice and landed on Scott's shoulder.

"What you have to do now is find the entrance to the next level, is it in the starry sky above, or in the earth below?"

"Obviously, Gorzan didn't find an entrance to the earth just now."

Scott said, putting away the small wooden box.

After that, he took a closer look at the [Heart of the Sacred Tree] that he had already reached.

"I can feel the pure magic in it."

As he spoke, he found another rope to wrap around the wrist-thick golden tree and tie it tightly, and also hung it around his neck.

Looking at the heart of the oak and the fruit of the acorn on his chest, he said, "If it were, it would be even more effective against the curse." ”

As he spoke, he looked again.

"Oh, it seems a bit obscene though."

He shook his head, held the broom in both hands, and flew up into the air on his broomstick.

Unlike the previous level, the "starry sky" here looks distant, but it is also really distant.

Scott flew up on a broomstick for half an hour, but still couldn't get close to the "starry sky" overhead.

"Oh, are you mistaken?"

Rimbaud, who was flying beside him, couldn't help but ask.

Scott also hesitated to pause and think for a moment.

"Maybe it has something to do with speed."

He put away his broomstick and turned into a peregrine falcon, flying upwards as fast as he could.

The Patronus, in the form of his Animagus, always followed him closely.

"Wait, if it's speed, I'm the fastest!"

Rimbaud came first and quickly caught up with him.

Apparently, this time Scott guessed correctly again, and after about five minutes, they were directly inside the "starry sky".

Unlike the floating rocks on the previous layer, the "starry sky" on this layer is suspended by clouds of light.

Once here, Scott got back on his broomstick.

He reached out and tried to disarm the lights, but they didn't feel real, they were illusory clusters of light.

In his perception of magic, it was all pure, and there was no magic that contained any characteristics.

"If you can collect all this magic...... Then the total amount of magic will be more than Hogwarts Castle. ”

Scott had to admit that he was a little greedy.

With such a huge reserve of mana, he could do a lot of things.

"So, is there anything you can do? Collect them. Rimbaud asked curiously.

Scott shook his head.

"I've never looked into it, but maybe I can get outside help."

Rimbaud landed on the handle of the broomstick, tilted his head and asked, "Dumbledore?" But your communications have been cut off. ”

"Nope."

Scott pulls out a small blank picture frame from the deformed lizard's leather pouch.

"It's Tutor Ravenclaw."

"Here?" Rimbaud asked, "We're probably already in another dimension, can we summon her too?"

"You can always trust Ravenclaw."

Scott smiled at Rimbaud and tapped his wand on the small blank frame.

"Dear Tutor Ravenclaw, Your apprentice needs your help."

As he called, the blank canvas in the frame slowly dyed with color, depicting a dignified and beautiful figure of Ravenclaw sitting in a high-backed chair with eagle wings.

"Good afternoon, my apprentice."

She smiled at Scott and took a look at the scene.

"Looks like you're already in that tower."

"Yes, Mentor......"

Scott quickly recounts his experience of passing through the first few floors after accidentally falling into the tower, and finally says what he wants at this point.

“…… The lights that you see, all come together, pure magic, and I want to ask you if there's any way to take them all away. ”

As he spoke, he also held the frame around him so that the Ravenclaw instructor could clearly see the glowing magic around him.

Ravenclaw first affirmed Scott's idea, "No wonder, such a reserve of magic power, even I will be moved when I see it." ”

After saying this, she thought for a moment again, and then smiled.

"Congratulations, my apprentice, it seems that you have gained something from this adventure."

"What do you mean?"

Scott immediately rejoiced.

It seems that the Ravenclaw Mentor really has a way to take all this magic away!

But Ravenclaw asked, "Are you sure that these are unadulterated, unadulterably pure magic?" ”

Scott nodded.

"Yes, Mentor, judging by my magical perception, that's it."

"Of course, I see, your magical perception can be trusted."

Ravenclaw was unusually agitated.

"Remember what I said about the bloody plunder?"

"Yes."

Scott immediately remembered the magic ritual that was said to be more effective than the enchantment potion.

The magic ritual was abandoned by him because the materials were too rare, too bloody and cruel, and the point was that it would make people ugly.

Ravenclaw smiled again and said something that pleased Scott.

"What I'm not saying is that when we can find a lot of pure magic, we don't even need any materials to perform magical rituals that enhance the magic."

"In this way, the magic ritual is no longer 'Bloody Plunder', but is called 'Super Demon Promotion'!"

"Super Demon Promotion?"

At this moment, Scott felt his heart beat a lot faster.

Ravenclaw nodded affirmatively.

"In the past, the promotion of the super demon was just a legend, and I only saw such a record in the family collection—"

"In ancient times, there were shamans who performed such rituals."

"There is even a legend that bloody plunder is an inferior version of the super-demon promotion."

"Now it seems that this legend turned out to be true."

Scott asked, "Because the conditions for promotion to the Ultra Demon are too harsh, so the wizards came up with bloody plunder instead?" ”

Ravenclaw said, "I think that's the case. There are plenty of sources of magic that are easy to find, like Hogwarts. But pure magic is rare. ”

"I understand." Scott said, "The source of Hogwarts' magic is the collection of free magic in the air by the castle building for many years, and it comes from all kinds of wizards, and it is very chaotic. ”

Ravenclaw nodded again.

"The source of mana that comes together elsewhere is similar."

"That magic can run a lot of big magic, but it can't be collected into the wizard's body."

Scott's eyes lit up as he looked at the mana floating around him.

"But the magic here can!"

"That's right." Ravenclaw looked at him encouragingly, "This may be the key to stopping Salazar." ”

When Scott heard this, he finally couldn't help it and grinned.

"Mentor, you're right, my gains from this adventure are unparalleled!"

"Please guide me and tell me what to do!"

The Ravenclaw in the painting also looks in high spirits.

"Of course, my apprentice, I'm glad to be able to try those theoretically lost technologies after so many years of death!"

As she spoke, she had completely abandoned her previous noble gestures, and seemed to be even more excited than Scott.

"First of all, oh, I thought, yes, collect the mana and gather them together to form the legendary magic crystal."

"Magic Crystal?"

Scott felt that things were getting more and more mysterious.

"Yes, the magic crystal is a crystal formed by the accumulation and compression of a large amount of mana, and this is a technology that has long been abandoned."

Ravenclaw affirmed.

"The first condition for making magic crystals is to find pure magic that does not contain any nature."

"If I hadn't read all the books in my family, I wouldn't have known this."

"Oh, thanks to my mind, I still remember."

"Scott, my apprentice, this is a difficult task, and you must master a set of magic circuits that are difficult to master in a short period of time."

"The group of magic circuits that make up this group of magic circuits is the original Rune Rune."

With that, her figure faded, leaving a set of seemingly simple-looking magic circuits on the canvas.

How simple is it?

This group of magic circuits is composed of a total of fourteen runes of runes, but these fourteen runes are actually all repetitions of two runes.

But since Tutor Ravenclaw said it would be difficult to master it thoroughly, Scott had no doubt about its difficulty.

He rode steadily on the broomstick, letting Rimbaud grab the frame and fly, then pulled out his notebook and pen, and carefully recorded the magic circuit in the notebook.

Not long after he finished recording, the Ravenclaw mentor reappeared.

"Looks like you've got the record."

She glanced at the notebook in Scott's hand.

"That's right, let's start practicing now!"

Scott nodded, took out a piece of brown paper and put it on his notebook, and took out an inkwell and quill.

He cast a spell to make the inkwell and quills float around him, then cut his fingers and mixed some of his own blood into the inkwell.

Using this kind of ink to draw the magic circuit is the most effective and concise way to practice the magic text circuit that he has summarized.

Time was pressing, and Scott didn't care about how awkward the posture of riding on the broomstick was, so he hurriedly hurried to practice.

And the Ravenclaw instructor who watched him practice also reminded him from time to time.

"This one is wrong, do it again!"

"The connection is wrong, it must be done in one go!"

"Balance of attention!"

"Coherence!"

"Remember! They are a whole! ”

Fail!

Grain stirring

Repeated failures!

As Ravenclaw said, this magic circuit seems incredibly simple, but it is more difficult to practice than any magic circuit Scott has ever used before.

Scott consumed parchment paper after parchment, but he never straightened out the structure of the magic circuit.

"Keep your mind at peace!"

Tutor Ravenclaw reminded him.

"Yes."

Scott took a few deep breaths, calmed down his somewhat impatient mood, and continued to sketch out the magic circuit.

"Understand the overall structure first!"

"Yes, it's been a lot of progress!"

"That way, you should have straightened it out."

"Good."

"This time it's almost successful!"

"Keep getting skilled!"

After several more drawings in a row, Scott finally had a piece in his hand that could be evaluated as qualified by the Ravenclaw tutor.

"Activation attempt."

"Yes."

Scott injects mana into the parchment, activating the magic circuit.

The black handwriting on the parchment flickered, and instantly turned into a faintly glowing blue.

Scott leaned the parchment closer to a nearby glowing cloud of magic.

Soon, the flocculent magic separates out and is sucked up by the magic circuit on the parchment.

The magic circuit grew brighter and brighter, until the entire parchment suddenly cracked.

"Yes, it works."

Tutor Ravenclaw said happily.

"Next, you need to use your magic to draw this set of magic circuits in one go."

Scott nodded, put down his quill, took his wand and began to try.

He raised his wand and stared.

The tip of the wand spat out glowing golden lines, forming runes one by one in the air, and the runes hooked and combined with each other, and finally converged before collapsing.

"Of course, drawing a magic script circuit out of thin air is the most advanced technique." The Ravenclaw mentor encouraged, "Try again!" ”

Scott tried again.

But again failed.

Speaking of which, drawing a magic script circuit out of thin air without any carrier is not the first time Scott has attempted such a thing.

His dark illusion is a move that uses invisible magic to outline the magic circuit under his feet, so that the enemy will be caught off guard.

However, the difficulty of the magic circuit that makes up the dark illusion is completely different from what he is doing.

The point is that this set of magic crystal making magic scripts is very strange, probably because of the use of the original rune runes, his previous experience is completely useless.

But Scott couldn't give up at this point.

Super Demon Promotion.

A great opportunity to enhance your timing.

Stop Salazar? The key to Slytherin.

That's why he has to succeed.

After a few failures, Scott took a break and closed his eyes again to clear his mind of some cluttered thoughts.

"Magic is the power of believing."

Dumbledore's proverb rang in my head again.

When he opened his eyes, this time there was only the absolute belief that he had to succeed.

This time, he was no longer cautious, nor did he think about any way back, and mobilized all the magic power in his body in one breath and output it with all his might.

The next moment, he yelled.

"Come out!"

The tip of the wand lit up with a blinding golden light, like a sun, illuminating the cold "starry sky".

The golden light spread rapidly, quickly dyeing the entire "starry sky". ”

One by one, huge runes took shape in the void, connecting with each other and converging to form.

"It worked!"

Scott watched as this vast giant magic circuit that occupied almost the entire "starry sky" took shape.

Although he experienced the emptiness and exhaustion of his mana being drained of his entire body for the first time in a long time, he couldn't help but grin.

"Yes, you succeeded!"

The voice of the Ravenclaw tutor sounded happy too.

"Next, it's harvest time!"

As soon as her words fell, the giant magic circuit began to operate.

Its color changed from gold to pure blue, and it began to rotate slowly.

Slowly, the glowing mana that floated in the void began to move.

Whether it was the magic group above or below the magic circuit, they were all attracted by the rotating magic circuit, and slowly approached the center of the magic circuit.

As time passed, more and more mana clusters gathered in the center of the Demonic Circuit pattern.

Scott watched the scene excitedly.

The magic came together, and the volume was constantly compressed, emitting a brighter and brighter white light.

Scott asks the Ravenclaw in the painting, "Mentor, what am I going to do after the crystal is formed?" ”

He couldn't wait to see what's next.

"You'd better find a safe place." Ravenclaw said, "Probably not here." ”

"No, you can here."

Without thinking about it, Scott finds the Magic Barrier Ball and Sirein, and demonstrates to Tutor Ravenclaw the double defense that can be built with the magic barrier and the water ball.

"Looks like you can't wait, Scott." Ravenclaw smiled understandingly.

"Yes, Mentor." "I wanted to explore the entire tower, and in order to deal with the unknown dangers ahead, it would be a safe choice to improve my strength here." ”

"Of course, I respect your choice."

Ravenclaw had no objection to his plan.

"So, the next thing you have to remember is this ......"

As she spoke, she disappeared from the canvas again, leaving behind two diagrams of the human body on both sides and sides.

On these two diagrams, very complex patterns are drawn all over the body.

Scott hurriedly took out the parchment and pen again and copied the diagram on the canvas.

After being quiet for a while, Rimbaud looked at the schematic diagram curiously and asked, "Oh, Scott, how are you going to paint on yourself?" ”

Scott didn't look up, "Don't forget, I can deform the paint and paint in one piece." ”

It was a drawing he had been inspired to come up with after seeing the morning fog outside the window of the Ravenclaw common room in order to give Professor McGonagall a present.

"You're right, you always have a way."

Apparently, Rimbaud had also seen him work with that effortless approach.

"It's my luck." Scott laughs, "Reserves that have been inadvertently in the past can always be used at some point in the future." ”

He meticulously completed a schematic copy of the human body.

When he was done, he checked the picture left by the Ravenclaw tutor in the frame, and nodded.

He muttered, "I don't know what the paint will be." ”

"You're going to use your blood."

The figure of Ravenclaw emerges on the canvas.

"It's a bit more blood, and I want you to bring a blood-producing potion with you."

Scott smiled and said, "Of course, mentor, I will always be prepared as much as possible." ”

"Then there will be no problem." Ravenclaw said, "When the crystal is formed, you need to draw the pattern required for the ritual on your own body and the surface of the mirror with blood, and then follow the steps to perform the ritual." ”

"Yes."

Scott turned his head to look at the demonic circuit in action in the void.

At this time, there was a lot less starlight in the "starry sky", and countless "stars" converged in the center of the magic circuit, forming a round of "moons" with more radiance.

Scott watched silently, waiting.

Until all the "stars" are gone.

The magic circuit across the Void spun faster after collecting all the mana clusters.

The white moon also became smaller and smaller, and its light slowly faded.

Until the dazzling light completely disappeared, and the magic circuit stopped spinning.

The huge magic circuit began to shrink at an extremely fast rate, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Let's go!"

Scott rode his broomstick and flew from memory towards the center of the magic circuit.

Rimbaud followed him by clutching the portrait of the Ravenclaw Mentor.

It didn't take long for Scott to see the finished Magic Mirror.

It was a colorless, fully transparent, slightly fluorescent crystal about the size of a human head.

It floated silently in the void, looking inconspicuous, even like a large piece of irregular clear crystal.

"That's what it is...... Magic Shard. ”

Scott held out his hands and picked up the magic crystal.

"It's light."

Unexpectedly, the countless magic clusters that occupied the entire starry sky converged and compressed together, and they were actually much lighter than crystals of the same size.

"It's like plastic." Scott muttered, "No, even such a large piece of solid plastic would be heavier." ”

But as long as he used his magic perception ability, he could immediately and clearly perceive what kind of terrifying total amount of magic power was contained in such a light and fluttering crystal.

Earn a fortune!

Scott felt that he was grinning more now than he had in a decade or so combined.

After a smirk, he quickly got into action.

The magic barrier, the water balloon of Sirein, double protection appears again.

Then, sitting cross-legged in the magic barrier, Scott took the potion of birth blood, conjured a glass vessel containing blood from a wooden block, and began to bleed while drinking the medicine.

"That's enough."

The Ravenclaw in the painting reminds him.

Scott hurriedly used white fresh essence to stop the bleeding and heal the wound on his wrist.

But the drain of his mana, coupled with the excessive blood loss, still made his head faint for a while.

He slowed down and poured another bottle of potion to replenish his strength.

Waiting until all the potions were working, he moved on to the next step.

The first is to draw a pattern on the Magic Crystal.

Scott memorized the intricate patterns that Ravenclaw had displayed in the painting, and then waved his wand.

Part of the blood contained in the glassware flew out, forming a complete pattern in the air, and then it was directly imprinted on the magic crystal.

Unusually, the moment the pattern was formed, the blood stopped flowing, and it was very stable after being imprinted on the magic crystal, and did not flow downward.

Then he stood up, stripped himself naked, and printed a bright red pattern on himself in the same way.

Following the ritual steps described by Mentor Ravenclaw, he lowered his wand, walked over to the crystal and sat down cross-legged, holding it in his arms with outstretched hands.

Then he closed his eyes and began to empty his mind, reciting an incantation that was particularly long and complicated.
