Retirement from Hogwarts

"Jack, what is Dark Souls?" Hermione asked Jack curiously after entering the cabin arranged for them after the dimensional ship set sail.

"Dark Soul, that should be one of the dark histories of the Magic King." Jack pondered for a moment, seeming to be thinking about how to explain Dark Soul. "It was a complex and magical potion developed during the great development era at the request of a certain magic emperor who advocated external expansion."

"Any world will that is poured into that kind of magic potion will forcibly speed up the development of the world and ignite its own world at the right time. And in the process of that world being gradually burned out, all the creatures in that world will The souls will gradually be transformed into dark souls that the wizard can absorb and transform at will."

"How could that emperor do this? This is simply inhumane!" Hermione shouted excitedly after hearing Jack's words.Then she suddenly realized, "If there is such a thing, then why haven't I seen it in the history of magic?"

"Because it is not as useful as it seems. The power of the Dark Soul can only allow the absorbing wizard to reach the top of the great magician. As for the higher realm, it cannot be achieved by relying solely on the accumulation of spiritual energy." Jack said, spreading his hands. "However, what the Magic Empire at that time actually lacked was not the mid-to-low-end combat power below magisters, but the legendary wizards who could truly influence a battle for a star cluster. Therefore, due to cost-effectiveness reasons, this plan was eventually abandoned. .”

"Take a world to create a group of dispensable great magicians? Even the heyday of the Magic Empire probably didn't have such luxury." At this point, Jack paused. "In addition, the will of the world is not stupid. Obviously, no one will be stupid enough to drink something that is obviously meant to murder oneself."

"Then what's going on in that world? Is the will of that world impatient?" Hermione asked in surprise.

"I don't know much about this. But I guess someone may have developed an improved version of that potion." He shrugged helplessly. "If this were the world that was ignited by the Magic Empire, it would have been burned by now. But when I discovered that world, the fire in it had not been extinguished."

"Fire? What is that?" Hermione listened to words that she had never heard come out of Jack's mouth one after another, and she couldn't help but feel that her two years at Hogwarts had been in vain.

"Hearthfire, that's a name in our warlocks' inherited memory. It's a term used to describe the power of destruction that ignites from the world when the world is destroyed." Jack seemed to feel naive when he said this. The verbal explanation was not vivid enough, so he extracted the image of that world from his own memory and shared it with Hermione through his personal terminal.

"Are we really going to enter this world?" Hermione couldn't help but feel a little worried when looking at the world in the picture that seemed to have fallen into the depths of hell, the entire world wrapped in red energy like the flames of hell.

"Don't worry, although those destructive powers look scary, in fact they are not harmful to wizards. There are even people who buy them at high prices on the black market. As long as they don't absorb too much at once, these destructive powers are only good for wizards. There's no harm in it," Jack reassured Hermione.

"What will be left after the world is destroyed?" After hearing his explanation, Hermione seemed a little relieved.Once again her curiosity overrode her concerns.

 "There is nothing. Those red world-destroying powers are the final proof of its existence." At this point, Jack paused. "At the same time, this is also the beginning of a new life in this world."

"The beginning of a new life?" Hermione, who was a little sad when Jack said it, opened her eyes in surprise.

"The power of destruction left behind after the destruction of the world will gradually be transformed into the power of creation under the wash of the power of reincarnation permeating the dimensional sea, and finally give birth to a new world. Therefore, the destruction of the world is not just a matter of time. It's a very sad thing, as long as we rescue the last residents of that world." Jack explained patiently.

. . . . . .

On the fourth day they boarded the dimensional voyage ship, a rapid siren interrupted the world knowledge lecture between Jack and Hermione.Immediately afterwards, Captain Lindy's voice sounded within the ship.

"This ship is about to reach the target world. All ships are preparing to respond to the impact."

"Coping with impact? What do you mean?" Hermione asked a little strangely to Jack who quickly pulled her into the anti-impact room.

"High-quality objects will be instinctively repulsed by the world when they enter a world without a dimensional gate." Before Jack could finish speaking, Hermione saw the walls of the room outside the impact-resistant room and the liquid partition begin to vibrate rapidly. stand up.

"Is everything going to be okay on this ship?" Hermione asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, little girl, Asra is not such a weak spaceship. She is specially designed for this kind of mission." Admiral Lindy suddenly appeared in front of them holding the projection of her unique green milk tea.

"What's the matter, Linditi... Auntie?" Under Lindy's murderous eyes, Jack decisively changed his title.

"In about half an hour, the information reading of this world will be completed. Are you going to be the first batch to go?"

"Of course." Jack nodded in confirmation. "What's the situation like in that world?"

"The state is very bad." Lindy shook her head and said. "Most of the creatures in this world have become animated corpses just like in the potion setting because too many dark souls have gathered in their bodies. However, it seems that some people have figured out how to absorb the power of souls. Retained his own consciousness.”

"The natives here are really amazing. They can actually think of ways to use the Dark Soul." Jack couldn't help but be surprised after hearing Lindy's words. "So is it possible for them to communicate?"

"Although we haven't read the information in their language yet, it should be possible to communicate." Lindy looked at the captain's information board in her hand and said after thinking for a while. "The buildings here show that there should have been a glorious magical civilization in this world. Even if there is a language barrier, we can still communicate through the spiritual palace."

"Are you able to communicate?" Jack's eyes lit up after hearing Lindy's speculation. "In that case, do you have any recommendations for a landing site?"

"My suggestion for the landing point is here." Lindy said while passing over a map she had marked. "This place on the map called the Fire Transfer Sacrifice has the largest number of living beings in the world's records. If we want to communicate, I think this is the most suitable place."
