Hogwarts: The Book of Magic

Chapter 7 Forbidden Knowledge

After Charlie's death, Lean took his soul.

This is a small spell recorded in the book "Soul-The Origin of Man", which can take away the soul of the dead and use it to cast spells.

The person whose soul was taken away died the moment the soul left, but there was no wound on the whole body, as if he died in a dream.

But obviously, it is impossible for Lean to have such a corpse, so he is patching up the wounds of each corpse.

Forty or fifty people died silently in their sleep, and there was no poison in their bodies. This matter is too unbelievable.

Muggles will surely rush to report, and eventually this matter will be brought to the attention of the Ministry of Magic.

As long as one or two Aurors come over, the stronghold of the Death Eaters will be exposed, and even Lean, who lives in it and has learned black magic, will also be discovered.

But Lean only needs to make up a few knives, and then this matter is completely different.

Reporters can only report vendettas between gangs. As for the tactics, they rely on their own imagination and speculation.

After all, this seems to have nothing to do with mystery.

Moreover, based on his own memory, Lean speculated that this year and next year seem to be the time for the handover of the Minister of Magic.

At this critical moment, Lean believed that those politicians would not go to war for such a thing.

Doing more and making more mistakes is not good for the competition for the Minister of Magic, and there is also a fig leaf for this matter, so they will not do anything unnecessary.

Li En, who came to the safe house with the soul orb containing the soul, began to draw a magic circle with the blood of animals.

The taboo magic from the book "Soul-The Origin of Man" can use the power of the magic circle to purify the impurities in the soul, leaving only the purest soul source.

This kind of soul origin can enhance a person's soul in an all-round way without side effects.

Forbidden knowledge is taboo because it is powerful and dangerous.

Once this kind of spell spreads on a large scale, there will only be one end - the whole world will be reduced to a pig farm for the strong.

So this kind of knowledge was defined as taboo knowledge at the moment it was created.

Lean draws every detail carefully, so he draws very slowly.

But the magic circle itself is not complicated, even if Lean pays attention to details, it will be completed quickly.

Put the collected soul orbs on the nodes of the circle, and then Lian sat cross-legged in the middle of the circle, and began to input magic power into the circle.

The influx of magic power caused the entire magic circle to start functioning, exuding a bewitching blood-red light.

The soul beads placed on the nodes shattered one by one, and the soul stored inside appeared in the air due to the shattering of the soul beads.

They looked around blankly, but quickly noticed Rin.

As undead, they knew that it was Rean who killed them. This was the price of the spell. The price of using the soul to cast spells was that the undead had the right to know—knowing who killed them.

These dead souls started yelling at Li En, wanting to jump on Li En's body and tear off a large piece of flesh fiercely.

But the effect of the magic circle restricted their actions, and they could only watch as Lean manipulated the magic circle.

A trace of red flame quickly ignited from the magic circle emitting red light. The flame seemed to be not very hot, because the clothes on Lien's body were not ignited.

But the temperature seemed to be very high again, because there was a hint of pain on the faces of those dead souls.

They yelled, one fighting to get out of the range of the flames, but it didn't work.

They wailed and kept rolling on the ground, and slowly, they began to become dull.

The howling sound slowly disappeared, and the painful expression also began to disappear.In the end, the dead souls with expressionless faces floated quietly above the flames.

When the last soul lost its expression, Lean began to manipulate the magic circle to make changes.

The red flames began to slowly turn purple, and the souls of the dead who had no joy or sorrow showed pained expressions again, but they looked much more dull than before.

There was no howling, no rolling, just standing there blankly with a painful expression on his face.

As the flame burned, their appearance slowly disappeared, and finally turned into small round beads exuding magical light.

This is the soul son, the purest part of a soul, which can be absorbed by people without side effects.

Lien put these soul seeds away, and then held one in his palm to observe carefully.

The surface of the soul son is extremely irregular and full of grooves.There seemed to be air bubbles in it, but they disappeared quickly, which made Lean wonder if there was something wrong with his eyes.

After thinking about it, Li En threw the soul into his mouth.

As soon as it reached the mouth, the soul child immediately melted and disappeared, followed by a cool air flow from the mouth to the brain.

This airflow doesn't make people feel cold, but instead makes people feel refreshed, just like the pleasant spring breeze.

Using a small magic casually, Lean was surprised to find that his control over magic power had improved, and the total amount of magic power had also increased slightly.

This surprised Li En, and it took him a long time to resist the urge to eat up all the souls in one go.

"As expected of taboo knowledge, it's really...too powerful." Lien roared in a low voice, "But it's also very dangerous."

After eating the soul seed at that moment, he actually had a thought that hard work is not as good as taking drugs, and he even had the urge to rush out and kill all the people and train them all to become soul seeds.

This is not a side effect, but the increase in strength is too attractive.

However, this also made Lean have a deeper curiosity about taboo knowledge.

He has already thought about his next book that he wants to change, which is a book that introduces forbidden knowledge.

Lien would not foolishly rush forward to learn taboo knowledge directly. Although some taboo knowledge has no side effects, the vast majority of taboo knowledge has a price beyond common sense, and the opposite is the power beyond common sense.

Magic is always balanced, he can't let you buy nuclear weapons for a dollar.

Unless you use tools, that is, magic circles or magic props.

The sky outside was still overcast, and last night Rion's magic had added a little more power.

However, Clear Street was very lively at this time, and even Lean could still hear the shouts of joy even though he was sitting in a tree hole away from the street.

The death of a full 47 people was like a slap in the face of the London police.

Even if the dead are butchers with bloody hands, even if the dead are found on Clear Street, which the government doesn't want to control.

But such a huge number of deaths caused the public to panic.

Even because the London police have not even speculated about the crime and some information about the suspect, some people have begun to express their dissatisfaction with the current government.

But Rian didn't want to care about these things, he just wanted to sleep well.

After slaughtering more than 40 people in a row, plus coming back to preside over the magic circle, Rion has reached his limit now, and he needs to rest to relax himself.

When Lean woke up again, Miss Moon had revealed her face again.

Lean stood in front of the tree hole, constantly recalling the scene of killing the Charlie Gang.

A little uncomfortable, after all, this is the first time in two lifetimes to be stained with blood, but Lean quickly adjusted.

His heart was already cold.

When did it start?Lean looked up at the moon in the sky and asked himself.

Perhaps, since that man killed his mother one by one in front of his eyes, his heart has become cold.

Lien stood there for a long time, until the cold dew wet his clothes and made him feel a bit chilled before he came back to his senses.

"Let's go and eat something."

Rin muttered something, as if speaking to himself.

Lien, who had solved his personal problems, lay down on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all after sleeping all day.

He stared at the burning oil lamp above his head, watching the flame slowly radiate light, occasionally shaking once or twice under the action of the air current.

After thinking wildly for a while, he began to think about tomorrow's itinerary again.

He needs to go to the second-hand store that sold tables and chairs last time to sell some more things, such as Charlie's collection or something.

In the end, Lean fell asleep under his own cranky thoughts.

The next day, Lean got up very early, the sun outside had just risen, and the entire forest was shrouded in mist.

But this didn't stop Rin. With a wave of his wand, the thick fog dispersed to both sides as if being pushed away by a big hand, leaving a wide road.

After catching two fish from the stream, Li En happily drank a bowl of fish soup as his breakfast.

Then he began to take those belongings out of the non-marking stretch pocket on his waist, and wrapped them in ordinary bags.

All the British pounds found in Charlie's gang were in small denominations, coins accounted for the majority, and the rest were only small notes under 20 pounds.

Rian filled a full sack and stuffed it into the non-marking stretch pocket at his waist.

Casting a disillusionment spell, Lean started walking to the second-hand dealer.

Because of the illusion spell, people along the way did not find Li En, and Li En also observed the pedestrians with great interest.

People on Clear Street gathered in twos and threes, talking about the Charlie Gang.

Occasionally, when a pair of policemen pass by, people will consciously shut their mouths, and wait for the policemen to go away before continuing the topic just now.

The impact of the destruction of the Charlie Gang was far greater than Ryan had imagined. The London Police Station stationed a team of more than 20 people here, specifically responsible for the Charlie Gang.

Thanks to the police, the gangsters on Clear Street began to restrain themselves, and the residents of Clear Street also showed a rare smile.

Lean slid past everyone like a loach, he was in a good mood, and slowly danced an unknown dance.

It's a pity that no one saw this dance, only the sun and the earth.

But Lean didn't care, he was used to being alone.
