"I spent a lot of effort to find these manuscripts from the restricted area..."
In the room where every request is granted, Levid showed the manuscripts to Tom and Annie.
Since the establishment of the society, they have rarely come here.
So there is no one else here except the three of them.
Tom looked at the manuscripts in surprise.
In just half a month, he didn't expect Levid to find so many clues!
He thought that Levid would just take the instruments seized from the goblins and slowly find out the magical powers!
But on second thought... if Levid wanted to pass on information to Nurmengard through Annie, he couldn't mention the seized instruments... that would expose him.
Find another reason... for example, the information learned from the manuscripts in the restricted area would be more convincing.
So... what Levid is planning recently is a plan against Nurmengard?
Tom looked at the manuscript in his hand again... his eyes were full of confusion.
This thing doesn't look fake...
Could it be that Levid actually went to the Restricted Section and dug up all the information about that magical power in order to target Nurmengard?
"Although these manuscripts are incomplete...
I can still roughly deduce some of their locations,"
Levid added.
"However, I haven't found any more information about Professor Morgana...
So I don't know if, after all these years, those magical powers are still there...
Did she take them, or are there still some that remain?"
Anne looked at the manuscripts, outwardly calm, but deep down, she was filled with doubt.
The locations listed in the manuscripts matched those in the notebooks she had stolen from the Restricted Section!
Moreover, she had personally explored most of those places!
Sadly, there was nothing there.
However, she finally got an answer from Levid.
The places she had explored were empty because they must have been taken away by Professor Morgana herself, or by someone else who had discovered this power.
After all... Professor Morgana was a figure from many years ago.
It's not surprising that many things have changed over the years...
Anne couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
What if... all this magical power was gone?
"Wade, can you deduce all the possible locations of this magical power?"
Anne asked anxiously.
Levander said with some embarrassment, "It's difficult, Anne. Even though I've collected a lot of manuscripts, the clues are still too limited."
"That's true..." Anne also felt a little impatient.
Even if Levander was very capable, he couldn't find all the locations based on these fragmented manuscripts.
Moreover, based on the few locations Levander had deduced, the notebook she had taken out might have been written by Professor Morgana!
This meant that all the locations recorded there could be the locations of this magical power!
Therefore, she might not need to get more addresses from Levander after all!
At this thought, Anne's mood brightened again!
She couldn't wait to report this information to Nurmengard!
"Although there are only a few locations right now, we can explore them firsy.
Maybe we can find some new clues besides some magical powers!"
Li Weide said, looking at Tom.
"Tom, are you coming?"
Tom understood and nodded immediately.
"Of course! Only a fool would not want something that can enhance their strength!"
Li Weide smiled and looked at Annie.
"What about you?"
"I... of course I went too! I'm not a fool!"
Annie responded quickly.
In fact, Annie didn't really want to go because she had actually been to most of the places Li Weide listed.
Moreover, there was nothing there!
In other words, if Li Weide went, he would definitely find nothing.
But she couldn't refuse.
She was so interested just now. If she suddenly didn't want to go now, it would be really suspicious!
"Well then!
Better today than tomorrow!
Tonight... Tom and I have to go to the Forbidden Forest for detention again.
After so many visits, we've gotten a basic understanding of the surrounding area." "
So, this time, we can take a new route and explore this location! A little delay won't matter.
We can just tell Mr. Ogg we're not lost,"
Levitra said, pointing to an address on the parchment.
This location was arguably the closest to Hogwarts.
Anne recognized it immediately.
She remembered it being the first place she had explored...
Anne asked, "Well... you all have legitimate reasons to go to the Forbidden Forest, so what should I do?"
She found this a perfect excuse to refuse to go along.
"Don't worry, I'll go find Professor Slughorn.
I'll tell him you're curious about the Forbidden Forest and want to see it too.
I'll ask him to find a reason to give you detention there too!"
Levitra said with a smile.
Anne's smile froze.
"Well... thank you so much..."
The words of thanks were spoken through gritted teeth.
You devil! Who would volunteer for confinement? And... you applied for me!
It's so cold, wouldn't it be comfortable to just stay in bed at night?!
Why would I even want to go to the Forbidden Forest to enjoy the fresh air?
Annie was filled with grief and indignation. After all, she had just been allowed to not go to the Forbidden Forest at night, and now...
she might as well not hand in the notebook!
This way, the credit would be even greater!
"So it's a happy decision! Annie, go back and prepare to go to the Forbidden Forest.
You've never been there before," Li Weide said caringly.
"Okay... see you tonight," Annie said with a forced smile.
"By the way, the fewer people who know about this, the better...
Something that can significantly enhance strength is too sensitive, and it's an irresistible temptation for anyone," Li Weide warned.
"Okay..."
After Annie left the Room of Requirement.
Li Weide stood up and tentatively muttered to himself, "I need a temporary passage to the secret passage on the fourth floor."
The Room of Requirement suddenly changed.
Then, as Tom stared in astonishment, a new entrance appeared on the original wall...
"Click!"
In the secret passage, Tom watched quietly as the entrance behind him closed again.
The surroundings instantly fell into a pitch-black silence.
Suddenly, a soft yellow light lit up in the secret passage.
Li Weide held a lit candle in his hand, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
"If you have any questions, you can ask them now," Li Weide asked, holding the candle.
Tom asked, "Why don't you use a wand to illuminate, but choose to light a candle?"
Levid was stunned for a moment, "I'll give you the opportunity to ask questions...
Are you sure you just want to ask this question?"
"Of course not! I mean... okay, I want to ask you, why did you tell that Rosier the location of that magical power?
You know, she knows, and Nurmengard also knows!"
"I know you may have reasons for having to do this... but... I still hope your reasons can convince me.
Of course... if you don't want to explain, that's up to you...
I can't beat you anyway!"
Obviously, Tom was very dissatisfied with Levid's actions.
Tom was absolutely determined to obtain this magical power that could increase his power.
That's why, when Levid silenced those goblins, he had no objection.
He would have done the same thing.
Only in this way could he secretly seize this power and quietly grow stronger...
However, after waiting so long, Levid seemed to have finally found the source of this power, but... he casually revealed this extremely important secret to Grindelwald!
Tom couldn't understand this!
It was right at his fingertips!
And it was just thrown away?
Are you teasing a dog?!
Levid remained calm despite Tom's blunt questioning.
Tom didn't know the truth.
If Levid had seen things from his perspective, he would have been furious.
"The reason is simple, Tom... that magical power is no longer there," Levid replied calmly.
Tom's expression froze.
His passion had been like a blazing fire!
But now... it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured down on me that day...
"But... but... those manuscripts you gave her... could they also be fake?"
Tom was so shocked by this news that he took a long time to recover, even his words were stammering.
That was the magical power he had longed for, the magical power that could increase in strength at the fastest rate!
You're telling me it's gone now?
How can I surpass Levitra and exact my revenge?
Oh, so that's what Levitra said?
Then I don't believe you!
"The manuscripts I gave Annie are indeed real, because these magical powers really did exist."
Levitra held a candle in his left hand and pulled out several more pieces of paper from his pocket with his right hand, seemingly burned.
"But... I'm not just searching for the information I've been looking for.
There's also this... I didn't show Annie."
Tom took the scraps of paper and began to read.
The pages looked like someone's diary, but it had been burned, and much of the information was missing.
However, Tom still found key information from the fragments.
For example, this magical power was created by Professor Morgana through some rather illicit means.
Furthermore, Professor Morgana was killed by these powers.
Ultimately, this magical power was largely absorbed by the goblin Lanlock.
The last of these diary fragments fairly fully records Lanlock's final battle...
"...the absorbed magical powers dissipated into the air with Lanlock's death..."
Tom was petrified upon reading this.
"Yes, they dissipated," Levid said calmly.
The light in Tom's eyes faded as Levid spoke...
In reality, those manuscripts and diaries were genuine, personally handed to Levid by the senior.
Among them, those diaries were the senior's own.
Levid had torn out several pages, but he had deliberately burned the key sections.
For example, after the sentence "...the magical powers dissipated into the air with Lanlock's death..." there was actually another sentence, but it was burned.
The words were, "...and then I gathered them together again..."
Yes, they dissipated, but the senior student gathered them again and absorbed them...
So, Tom wasn't completely deceived.
Absorbed, it was gone anyway.
"I don't believe it...you're such a wicked fellow..." Tom muttered.
Levid frowned.
"Tom, no matter how great that magical power is, it's just an external force.
Do you think you can't become stronger without it?
If your desire to become stronger is so fragile, I'm so disappointed."
Tom felt like he'd been doused with cold water again.
But this time, it didn't dampen his enthusiasm; it sobered him up.
Yes...I, Tom, have always been no less than a match for anyone!
Even if it's the great demon Levid, I have the confidence that I can one day defeat him!
How could I be so dejected over the loss of a mere external force?
"Hmph...who's fragile?
I'm just...a little bit disappointed!"
Tom's eyes lit up again.
"...This is the Tom I know... It's just an external force.
If Professor Morgana can do it, why can't we?"
Levid said with a smile.
"Yes!
We can do it too!"
Tom completely shook off his recent depression.
It had to be said that, aside from his own life, his obsession with becoming stronger trumped all else.
"Now, perhaps you understand why I told Anne this news?"
Levid asked.
Tom returned the diary fragments to Levid.
"Yes, I know... Actually, when you said those words to Anne, I suspected you were targeting Nurmengard..."
Reawakening from his slump, Tom's intelligence once again took the upper hand.
Levid nodded approvingly.
"Tom, that old man Grindelwald not only attacked us before, he also burned our house... Now, it's time to teach him a lesson."
"You're going to use that magical power as bait, right?" Tom asked.
"Yes, Tom, what would you do if it were you?" Levid retorted.
"I'll find a way to dig them a grave and let them step into it themselves!
But..." Tom frowned slightly, "That power is gone. How can we gain their trust?"
"Tom, leave this to me.
I've been doing more than just researching lately.
I've made some fakes based on the descriptions...
They might not be enough to fool Grindelwald, but they'll be fine for fooling Anne."
Levid smiled.
"You can make a fake like that?"
Tom looked at Levid suspiciously.
If this fake could truly enhance strength, then it wouldn't be a fake!
"It's very simple.
Spend some money and get some potions that can strengthen the body. Mix them with a euphoria potion, and then use Transfiguration to turn the potion into a vaporized gas.
I've tried it myself before, and it works very well...
Once Annie absorbs the vapor of this potion, she'll find that her body and mind have improved, and she'll definitely have the illusion that she's become stronger."
Tom gave a thumbs up after hearing this.
"You're worthy of it, Wade.
You're a real dog!"
"Tom, I suspect you're scolding me."
"Is this something to be suspicious about, Wade?"
I'm typing late today, so the next chapter will be posted later.
