The phantoms of the four people landed in shape, and quickly picked a random direction and began to walk straight.

"Oh my God, what kind of root tea did he give me just now......"

"Godigan tea, don't ask me what Godigan is. Hermione said.

“...... This Godigan tea is the worst thing I've ever drunk in my life. Blake didn't show a disgusting expression for a while just now, and then couldn't help but complain: "You still want to keep us to eat, I'd rather eat Hermione's ......"

"What do you mean to eat what I made!" said the little girl aggrievedly.

"It's nothing, I just like to eat what you make. Lockhart hurriedly comforted her, "Young Master Cyreth is used to eating big meals. ”

"I didn't mean that, Hermione's cooking was much better than Azkaban's prison meal anyway—"

"Don't get darker, Siris. Harry couldn't take it anymore, "Hermione's food is delicious!Professor, what are we going to do next?"

"I can't count on anyone else, so I'll have to figure out a way to pitch a tent on the grass in front of me first, and wait here for news from Arthur. Lockhart said, "I'm going to create a spell to destroy the Horcruxes." ”

"What kind of magic can destroy Horcruxes? Hermione recounted Lockhart's words like a repeater: "In order to destroy a Horcrux, two conditions must be met: first, the total amount of mana sufficient to completely destroy it, and second, the speed of destruction faster than its own repair. ”

"Yes, I'm going to create a formation-type magic that can accumulate a lot of mana. Lockhart said: "There are already a lot of previous experiences to borrow from in this area, and it shouldn't be difficult, but how to accumulate enough magic power to destroy Horcruxes and release it in an instant is a bit difficult." ”

"Hmm. ”

――

Hermione was a hard worker, and as soon as she got there, she couldn't stop to pitch her tent, set up the furniture, clean up and prepare for lunch. Lockhart, on the other hand, sat comfortably at the door of his tent and began to contact the other Order of the Phoenix and Aurors with Blake.

Arthur tells him in a note that he has started collecting information about Manjik. This made Lockhart happy. Scrimgeour and Martin are looking for Horcruxes and visiting wizards, which is dangerous because they are still wanted in the wizarding world. If you're not careful, you might scare those wizards into calling the police and then being chased by the strikers...... Lockhart advised them to wait for Lovegood's revelations to spread before contacting the wizards.

He could then wait for the time to assassinate Manjik while researching a spell that could instantly destroy Horcruxes.

Accumulating mana is not a very difficult thing, any powerful spell requires the wizard to charge, the more mana accumulated, the more powerful the spell, the better the wand core, the stronger the wizard's control over the mana, and the more powerful the charged magic can be cast.

But like Harry and Voldemort, they cast spells face to face with wands with the same wick. As a result, the accumulation of a large amount of energy in the phoenix's feathers was a coincidence, and that amount was not enough to destroy the Horcruxes. And the Elder Wand...... He didn't know what rod core to use, and Lockhart didn't dare to take it apart and take a look, but he knew very well that this thing was just magically improving the wizard's ability to burst out in a short time, but it was absolutely impossible to hold back a spell that could destroy the Horcrux.

Then a real magic circle is needed, Hogwarts, the Ministry of Magic, and even Gringotts all have a large number of magic circles to refer to or conduct experiments, but he can't go to these places now. He is very thorough in the study of magic, and he is good at everything, and it is not difficult to design a magic array.

――

The group stayed here for a few days. Calm and uneventful...... Lockhart designed a magic circle, using a lot of cherished magic items, like dragon blood, unicorn horn powder, a lot of magic crystals, and magic parchment—all of which they didn't have or didn't have. For this reason, he went to Diagon Alley several times in disguise. I almost ran out of the compound decoction, and then I found that I didn't have enough money with me...... Fortunately, Blake has a lot of valuable goods on him, so he can take out one and sell it, which is enough to buy all the materials.

After dozens of repeated attempts and experiments. Lockhart had to settle on a theory that had long been recognized as the truth: the larger the magic array, the more powerful it was, and the more materials it used, the more magic power it could accumulate, but the larger the magic array. The coordination between the different parts will be reduced, and no matter how Lockhart modifies, he will not be able to make the magic power instantly bet on a point, and naturally he will not be able to destroy the Horcrux.

You can only choose a balance between the best coordination of the magic circle, i.e., the highest instantaneous damage and more mana, so that it has the best chance of destroying the Horcrux.

――

"I've found this balance," Lockhart said, "and this magic circle can store more than one hundred and fifty times the amount of mana in my body. He pointed to the magic circle with a diameter of nearly ten meters and said, "It can convert all this magic power into damage to a Horcrux in ten seconds - about the equivalent of a hundred ordinary wizards attacking it with fierce fire." ”

"What is the concept of an ordinary wizard?" Blake asked, "don't use such ambiguous words, you just say that the power is not as great as the last time forty Aurors used the Fierce Fire Charm?"

"No—" Lockhart said.

"Then you don't have to try. Hermione said, "Just lure the mystery man over for nothing." ”

"No, you have to try. Of course, Lockhart knew in his heart that the chances of success were not very good, "Although the power is not so amazing, don't forget that the Horcrux is also injured. ”

"Scrimgeour says only a third of its defenses have been breached!" Hermione remembers everything everyone had said, "And that time it took us half a minute, your magic circle was not more powerful than the last forty people joined forces, but it only worked for ten seconds! ”

"I've learned the Fire Curse. Harry suddenly burst into a voice, "Maybe we can call Scrimgeour and the others over and work together while the magic circle is running, wouldn't the success rate be high." ”

"When the magic array is running, the wizard's attack can only destroy the magic array. Lockhart rejected the suggestion, "When the time comes, you will first apparition and wait for me somewhere else, I will watch the magic array here, if it is not destroyed, I will snatch out the Horcrux and apparition to join you." ”

"What!" Hermione's voice suddenly rose, and she screamed, "That is, when the time comes for the mysterious man to come and save his Horcruxes, no one will even be able to stop you from him!"

"How many seconds can you three stop him?" Lockhart glared at her, "Even if you stop him, who is covering the other three to leave like Crazy Eye?" Unfortunately, Hermione never budged in this kind of thing, and unceremoniously opened her eyes wide and glared back at him with brown eyes.

"Then give up this plan and find another way. Harry said.

"That's right, give up!" Hermione said quickly.

"No!" Lockhart refused, "Even if you can't destroy the Horcruxes, you can further weaken the defenses above, repeat it a few times, it will definitely work!"

"No, no, no!" Hermione cried hysterically, "you are not allowed to take any chances!"

"I didn't take any chances, you listen to my analysis: this process only takes ten seconds, and the mysterious man doesn't sense that the Horcrux is injured and immediately phantoms to its side. Lockhart saw that Hermione was so resolute that he could only try to convince her, "Didn't he just apparition to the top of a mountain two miles away from us last time, and he flew for more than ten seconds to catch up." ”

"You can't take an experience as a pattern for this kind of thing!" Hermione was said with a little emotion, and it only took ten seconds, she thought carefully...... Maybe it's really not dangerous?" "Maybe you can use some protective spell to stop him for a few seconds?"

"It's hard for such a rudimentary magic circle to run in or around another magic circle. Lockhart shook his head, "That's it, I'm the strongest of us, I'm completely sure that I can get out of it all, so don't worry about it! ”

"Gildero......" Hermione began to use a soft one, "we haven't tried many methods yet, so don't worry." ”

"Less nonsense, more talk and stun you and let Cyrus take you away. Lockhart said forcefully, choking Hermione's words back at once.

"Are you sure you're safe?" Blake asked uneasily, "they're not children anymore, maybe we can help you." ”

"I'm sure, don't fight. I've managed to get Horcruxes safely out of the Death Eater heap twice, and this time will be no exception. Lockhart said firmly, "Hermione, go make dinner, I'm going to continue pouring magic into the magic circle." ”

Hermione wanted to say nothing more than three things, but she didn't feel lucky, so she had to give up and obediently go to dinner.
