Chapter 188 Then, Let’s Have an Avada Kedavra Gatling Gun!
Resurrection is not Voldemort's only purpose.
He also has to consider what will happen after resurrection.
Cyrus alone was already a huge obstacle, plus Dumbledore... Voldemort understood that if his power could not be improved, even if he was resurrected, he would not be able to escape the end of death.
You can't put your hope on the tiny possibility of Dumbledore and Cyrus turning against each other.
Not to mention the French Ministry of Magic, here in North America, the headmaster of Ilvermorny has been changed for several days without causing much fluctuation. Cyrus originally thought that MACUSA would not sit idly by and ignore this, but the result was beyond his expectation.
But this is not too strange. In the magical world, wizard schools and magical regimes are not one and the same. In fact, the history of Ivermorny is almost longer than the history of Magical Congress.
Not to mention that Ilvermorny is only located in the United States, but actually targets the magic regimes of three countries. The Magical Council has no power to interfere with Ilvermorny's affairs.
Some of the little wizards in the school wrote to their families about this matter, but when the parents learned that Cyrus had obtained the snakewood wand and was recognized by the four patron saints, they were just amazed.
Such a feat is tantamount to King Arthur raising the sword of kings!
It was simply destiny!
Just like that, everything went smoother than Cyrus imagined. During these times, except for necessary rest, Sellers almost divided his time into two halves, half of which was devoted to learning about some of the unique magic of North America.
Although wizards have the ability to travel long distances across continents, it only takes a moment to travel from Europe to North America through the Portkey. But in fact, most wizards like to live in isolation, especially the ancient wizards. They will not leave their hometown for too long.
Different regions also lead to wizards being accustomed to using different spells.
Even forming different magic systems.
Take transfiguration as an example. The magic of turning a wizard into an animal exists on different continents, but the principles of casting the spell are not exactly the same.
European wizards invented the Animagus, but the young wizards at the Wagadu School of Magic in Africa will use a brand-new magic to transform themselves into a lion or an elephant.
Unlike the rare Animagus, almost every wizard who graduates from Wagadu will master the magic of this animal transformation.
North America also has its own ancient and unique animal transfiguration. This is a spell left by the ancient aborigines. They call wizards who can transform into animals "skinwalkers."
Transfiguration is just one example. In fact, Ilvermorny contains many spells unique to North America. For some historical reasons, special magical knowledge from other continents is also included.
Cyrus transformed into a raven and greedily absorbed this vast knowledge. He wished he could move his own house directly into it!
In the eyes of the little wizards, if you plan to find Cyrus, it's very simple, just go to the library!
Fortunately, Cyrus's brain is a huge pensieve, otherwise he may never be able to read all the knowledge of Ilvermorny!
Thanks to Cyrus, the libraries of Ilvermorny are crowded these days with young witches in love. They were holding books one by one, but their eyes were wandering outside the books. They seemed to be wandering around the library aimlessly, but in fact they were looking for the golden figure.
Once they found Cyrus's location, they would pretend to pass by Cyrus casually, and greedily take a sip of the air next to Cyrus.
If they were more courageous, they might even come over with homework or questions. Those who didn't know would think they were studying some century-old problem in the magical world!
With these people, Sellers showed great patience.
In fact, the other half of his time was spent getting in touch with the little wizards in the school.
Ilvermorny recruits students from all over North America. If done properly, Cyrus's influence will spread to all of North America after the little wizard leaves the school.
This part of the job was easy for Sellers.
He is strong, majestic, and possesses absolute power. Little wizards who admire the strong will naturally follow him. At the same time, Cyrus is approachable and easy-going, and loyal and upright people will follow him. He is handsome, funny, and those who are full of yearning for love will follow him. The little witches are even willing to dedicate everything they have, from body to soul, to Cyrus!
In fact, not only the little wizards, but also the professors soon had a huge change in Cyrus. Among them, the black witch Yael Picquery, who was originally most hostile to Cyrus, was the first to change her attitude.
She may have been impressed by Cyrus's appearance, which radiated kindness, maybe even beyond kindness. But it's a pity that Cyrus really has no interest in her.
Gilbert Fontana was also impressed by Cyrus while getting along with him.
Cyrus's knowledge of magic far exceeded their understanding, and being a headmaster was clearly more than enough.
"If you want to defeat your opponent more efficiently, you must hit the point. But remember, the more powerful the spell, the better." Cyrus was sitting on a chair in the library at the moment, a blond man The girl stood beside him holding a textbook.
The girl's eyes fell on Cyrus's face, and her eyes seemed to be following the strand of golden hair on Cyrus' forehead. With this look, it was hard to tell whether she heard what Cyrus said.
"I heard from Mr. Fontana that you plan to be an Auror after graduation?" Cyrus asked softly.
The girl seemed to be frightened by the sudden inquiry, and almost jumped up, subconsciously raising her voice: "Yes, sir!"
Fortunately, Cyrus used the ear-closing technique in advance. After all, it was in the library, and he couldn't disturb other students' studies, right?
"It's a good idea, but Auror is a dangerous profession." Cyrus said.
The girl nodded in agreement, and she looked around. Many pairs of eyes in the library stared at her like ocelots that wanted to eat people. In fact, she felt that she was quite dangerous now.
"Starting from this Friday, I will hold one or two clubs every week. I think you can sign up."
"Is it to select warriors?"
One of the purposes of Cyrus's club is indeed to select elites who are qualified to serve as warriors. Although he has planned to compete with Dumbledore in the Triwizard Tournament, he can certainly try some desserts before the main course begins.
But more importantly, he needs to train a group of strong enough warriors to follow him.
Voldemort only believes in his own power, so he does not have high requirements for Death Eaters. As long as they are not Muggle wizards and are willing to torture Muggles, they can join the Death Eaters. But even he only values those who are talented enough.
For example, Snape, Bella, Barty Jr. and Regulus...
It's a pity that three of the four betrayed.
After sending the little witch away, Cyrus took the book back to the principal's office. Due to its short history, Ilvermorny Castle does not have as many secrets as Hogwarts Castle, but since Cyrus is here, he can leave something.
First of all, it is naturally a room of requirements.
Ravenclaw, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, created a room of requirements with her powerful magic. Now Cyrus, who has mastered ancient magic, can do the same!
With amazing magic power, he created a huge space, turning it into a golden and magnificent place, with spiral towers standing at the four corners, and the ground under his feet was like the surface of the water.
Of course, in order to distinguish it from the Room of Requirement, Cyrus followed the tradition of Slytherin and called it "Cyrus's Chamber of Secrets".
Coincidentally, this room can also be used as a gathering place for the club.
In the next few months, Cyrus almost lived this kind of life.
The days are repeated, but in fact every day is different. Now, he began to study the magical power contained in magical animals from the perspective of ancient magic.
"The skin of fire dragons has strong magic resistance, which is due to the ancient magic hidden inside their skin. If I can engrave this magic into my body, maybe I can also improve my magic resistance."
However, this already involves magic transformation, and Cyrus did not intend to experiment directly on his body. He didn't want to wake up one morning and find that his skin was covered with fine scales.
Compared with fire dragons, perhaps the magic of other magical animals is more worthy of research.
In fact, Cyrus had studied the invisible beast some time ago, and thoroughly analyzed the invisible beast's invisibility magic. This made Cyrus's disillusionment spell reach a higher level.
But from the aspect of invisibility, Cyrus believed that his spell was no less than the Deathly Hallows.
However, he guessed that Harry's invisibility cloak might have other uses.
The predictive ability of the invisible beast is more complicated than its invisibility ability, and this magic is contained in their pupils, which makes it difficult to study without hurting them.
Cyrus is not in a hurry, he will always encounter an old and dead invisible beast.
These magic studies may not have improved Cyrus's magic, but they can make the spells he cast more powerful.
In addition to studying magical animals, Cyrus has never forgotten about Nagini. This little snake is usually very quiet. In Ilvermorny, Cyrus gave her enough freedom. She often wandered around in the school. At the beginning, the students were afraid of her, but now they can ignore her.
Next to Cyrus, Nagini showed almost no animality.
Cyrus's other research topic is to combine modern technology with wizard magic.
Magic and science have never been antonyms. The magic magnetic field in Hogwarts can indeed shield some electronic instruments, but this is the protective spell of the castle itself.
Science is not a narrow mechanical structure, nor is it a simple electronic product. Science is a specific thing and its objective rules, a specific worldview and a specific method.
Since magic exists, magic itself is science!
Arthur Weasley's magic-modified car is a good proof that science and magic can coexist.
Cyrus has now completed his resurrection and gained power, and it is time to have a lot of time for research.
"I want a research room." Cyrus returned to the secret room. Under his conception, this room has completely turned into a laboratory. The white test bench is full of guns he collected in the Muggle world not long ago.
Cyrus' first attempt is to create a new era of alchemical props-magic guns!
Wands are just inconvenient things after all!
"In fact, the key point is not the gun itself, but the spell bullet." Cyrus thought.
There is actually no problem with the structure of the gun. Even a spell cannot be faster than a gun. Cyrus still remembers that Peeves rushed into Hogwarts with a machine gun and a grenade a few centuries ago, causing all the teachers and students in the school to be afraid to approach it.
The guns of that era were already so dangerous. It would be more interesting if the bullets could be replaced with spells.
It would be even more interesting if the Unforgivable Curse could be turned into a spell bullet!
What, you want to have a spell duel with me?
Okay, eat my green fire Avada Kedavra Gatling!
Just as Cyrus was immersed in research, far away on the other side of the earth.
Britain, Ministry of Magic.
Fudge was in a state of panic.
After the Death Eaters of Azkaban escaped, rumors of the return of the Dark Lord have become more and more popular, and there is a tendency that cannot be suppressed. During this period, Fudge's approval rating continued to decline, making him very anxious.
At this time, many officials have proposed to stop holding this Quidditch World Cup.
But Fudge firmly disagreed.
"The Quidditch World Cup must be held as originally planned!" Fudge was tough for once, and he almost overcame all the opposition.
It's not that he likes Quidditch so much, but he needs to use this Quidditch game to let people know that the resurrection of the mysterious man is just a rumor, and there is no need to worry about the escaped prisoners in Azkaban!
He wants people to feel that everything is thriving under his leadership!
Danger?
That kind of thing does not exist at all.
"V——" His fat face flushed red, as if he was going to say Voldemort's name to show people how confident and brave he is, but he couldn't make a sound after just one syllable, and could only speak hoarsely, "The resurrection of the mysterious man is an absurd conspiracy. Obviously someone is deliberately creating panic, gentlemen!"
But at this time, a person Fudge didn't want to see walked in.
"Very brave, Cornelius." Dumbledore strode forward, his tall body straight, and immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered.
"I agree with your idea of holding Quidditch. Why should this grand event be stopped?"
Surprisingly, Dumbledore and Fudge stood on the same side.
He did not emphasize that Voldemort had returned, because it was meaningless. Voldemort had returned, but it was only for a few hours.
"By the way, I would like to ask about the Triwizard Tournament - can Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry be added. I have received some - enthusiastic requests."
He held two letters in his hand, one of which had a bald eagle medal on it, which was obviously a letter from the American Magical Association.
The seal of the other letter was printed with a silver-black emblem, like a blooming four-leaf clover.
- It came from Ilvermorny.
