Chapter 43 The belated professor
Lumi was very happy when there was a breakthrough in the Death Curse.
The basilisk is dead, and its revenge is almost done. The next step is how to make the most of this snake.
This basilisk that appeared in the spiritual world curled up and looked like it was hibernating.
Suddenly, Lumi thought of something.
The effect of the Death Curse is to plunder the soul, thereby achieving fatal results.
If someone uses the Death Curse on Lumi, can Lumi push the basilisk's soul out to block the knife?
The thought excited Lumi.
You must know that there are only a few ways for wizards to kill people, and there are definitely not a few wizards who use the Death Curse as their main method of killing.
If someone accidentally casts a life-killing curse one day, does that mean he has two lives?
Thinking of this, Lumi looked at the Basilisk Soul differently.
[I wonder if I can get one for Luna too. 】
Lumi was thinking about something that could withstand the life-killing curse for half a second and allow the counter-curse to be activated successfully.
Suddenly, he was stunned for a moment.
"Counter-curse! Yes, what exactly is this counter-curse so far?"
If considered according to normal logic, the opposite magical effect of the Death Curse should be to give away the soul.
But there is nothing wrong with Lumi's soul. Instead, there is an extra soul in his body.
Does this mean that Lumi's counter-spell has not been cast, or that it has been cast, but the effect is different from what he thought?
Lumi thought for a while and finally realized a problem.
"Assuming that the counter-curse of the Death Curse is to give souls, then I don't have a soul to give. Do I need to exchange my soul with the other person's soul?"
"And the opponent is already dead when the counter-spell is activated and cannot be exchanged, so even if the counter-spell takes effect, it will be useless to me."
This answer that was not an answer was speculated by Lumi, and Lumi disagreed with its authenticity.
Who knows whether what he speculated is true or false? When deriving magic spells in the past, the research direction was wrong, thus creating some messy magic spells.
Among them are the Counter-attack Curse and the Spear Curse.
I made a mistake in deriving the Iron Armor Curse, and came up with a pair of magic spells like this.
Let’s put aside the matter of the Death Curse for now, there is something more important now.
Lumi withdrew from the spiritual world. The feeling of falling body and the loss of vision again made Lumi feel very disliked.
Opening the magic vision again, all the scenes inside and outside the secret room were copied into his mind.
The map showed that the five empty groups outside the secret room now turned into seven groups.
Five groups are small and two are large.
The magic power of one of them is ridiculously high, while the magic power of the other one is not much different from his current self.
[Professors Dumbledore and Snape? It came pretty quickly. 】
The basilisk's body was by the wall, and the nerves in its muscles were still moving unconsciously, even though it was dead.
"It looks like you're going to be divided up."
Lumi could 'see' that Dumbledore and Snape were almost entering the Chamber of Secrets.
"But I don't want to share you."
Everything about the basilisk has research value, and Lumi will not hand over his prey to Dumbledore.
So he picked up the basilisk's still-moving tail and stuffed it directly into the small bag on his waist.
The basilisk's body is very large, and it takes time to fully insert it.
Coincidentally, the Seven Snakes door of the secret room was opened again, and Dumbledore and Snape quickly rushed in.
When they saw the broken statue, they were shocked at first, used magic to throw the rubble aside, and ran in faster.
And Lumi also completely put the basilisk into the package the second before the two entered the room.
He turned around and smiled at the two of them.
"Sorry, Professor. You are late, I have already taken care of the basilisk."
"The crisis at Hogwarts is over."
Lumi greeted them with a smile.
Although the mess on the ground and the flames still burning around it indicate that a battle has just occurred here.
"As long as you're okay."
Dumbledore's expression was a little strange, and he looked very troubled.
"Where's the basilisk?"
It was confirmed outside that the huge snake slough belonged to the basilisk. Snape knew clearly that the basilisk's body must be in Lumi's hands, but where did he put it?
"I cut it into pieces and burned it to ashes, leaving nothing behind."
Lumi smiled and pointed at the black ash on the ground, as if they were basilisks.
But how could the experienced Snape not see that those gray spots clearly came from books.
But he also saw that Lumi's answer was obviously that he didn't want to hand over the basilisk.
"It seems that our Mr. Lumi has the ability to kill a magical animal alone."
Snape spoke in a calm tone, "What can the humble Potions Professor do? He just wants to get some potion ingredients. If Mr. Gugliel knew better, he wouldn't give the basilisk eyes to anyone?"
"Don't worry, the basilisk has turned to gray. It can no longer harm people."
The pleasure of revenge made Lumi feel very good.
No one else knew everything in the Chamber of Secrets. Dumbledore's original preparations had been scrapped. No one knew how Lumi killed the basilisk.
It all ended too quickly.
Since the 'eyes' in the Chamber of Secrets were cleared by Lumi and they saw Harry knocked out by Lumi, Dumbledore and Snape couldn't sit still and immediately rushed to the Chamber of Secrets.
In less than ten minutes in total, Lumi had already destroyed the body and eliminated all traces.
To be able to kill a thousand-year-old basilisk so quickly, the magic that can be used is extremely limited.
What's more, I can't feel any soul power here.
The only thing that can do this is the Death Curse.
Even if they realized that Lumi had used the Unforgivable Curse, they would not say it here.
If Lumi really wanted to run, he had countless ways to get out of Hogwarts, but what after that?
Did it really push Lumi into darkness?
Lumi's future is cut off. As long as he does not transform into a dragon before the age of fourteen, Lumi's magical power will be fixed here in this life.
The third most powerful man in the Quan Ying Kingdom, whether he ends up in the light or the darkness, his influence on the magic world will be huge.
What if Lumi really became the second generation Dark Lord?
Then the whole of Europe will once again be ignited with war, and the relationship between the first Dark Lord Voldemort and Lumi is also good, and it is very likely to kill Dumbledore head-on.
By then, no one in the world can stop them.
Therefore, Dumbledore could only guide Lumi on the right path. He could not be allowed to come into contact with dragons under any circumstances, and his emotions must not collapse drastically.
He is the biggest variable in defeating Voldemort, and he must be controlled.
Dumbledore's thoughts were fast and he immediately figured out the next step. He said with a smile: "Lumi, your actions are very brave, and your actions to avenge your friends are also very suitable for Hufflepuff. Severus, how long will it take?" Is the mandrake ripe?”
"There's still half a month left."
Snape thought for a while and replied: "The greenhouse in Split can speed up the growth of mandrake, and the medicine to treat petrification will be ready in half a month."
Lumi didn't care about the things mentioned before. When he heard Mandrake, the corners of Lumi's lips curled up unconsciously.
"Half a month..."
