Chapter 108 The Ancestral Potion! He's More Terrifying Than the Dark Lord!
Emerging from the depths of the rock wall where the phoenix egg was hidden, Charles's eyes revealed a satisfied expression.
Only after arriving here can this trip to the forbidden forest be considered worthwhile.
The eight-eyed giant spider breeding base and the unicorn blood donation station can provide him with a continuous stream of deduction points.
Plus, with the phoenix three months later, it's a huge win!
After leaving a time-space marker here to ensure that the phoenix's trail would not be lost again, Charles turned and walked out of the Forbidden Forest.
At this moment, Hagrid was still fast asleep under the effect of the stun spell Shire had cast earlier.
Ciel casually cast Legilimency on him with his mithril wand, without deliberately modifying anything, but simply deleting some of Hagrid's memories from before he fell into a coma.
In Hagrid's view, the trip to the Forbidden Forest with the Shire went smoothly without any major mishaps, his plan had succeeded, and everything was going perfectly.
As for his falling asleep, it was just a sudden bout of drowsiness, and he simply took a nap.
After Ciel altered Hagrid's memories, he tapped Hagrid with his wand, and Hagrid opened his eyes in a daze.
"Did I just fall asleep?"
"By Merlin, I haven't slept for very long, have I?"
"I slept so well just now, I haven't slept this peacefully in a long time."
However, Haiger's focus soon shifted away from his sleep quality.
He remembered that his plan to scare Charles seemed to have succeeded.
Hagrid, however, was far from happy.
The words Shire had spoken about Dumbledore earlier still lingered in his mind.
The perfect image of Dumbledore in his mind seemed to be cracking uncontrollably, revealing a deep, dark color beneath the cracks.
Hagrid tried his best not to think about these things, but the more he did, the more details from the past few years surfaced in his mind, making him feel depressed and gloomy.
After leading Shire out of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid returned to his cabin in a sullen mood.
Charles watched Hagrid's retreating figure and shook his head.
He didn't care what image Dumbledore had in the minds of the Order of the Phoenix members.
I mentioned it to Hagrid briefly, but it was just something I did on a whim.
As for whether the members of the Order of the Phoenix will continue to be manipulated or remain willing pawns of Dumbledore, Ciel doesn't care.
He returned to his room.
Now that the trail of the Heavenly Phoenix has been confirmed, we will be able to obtain its bloodline and complete the magical Animagus transformation in three months.
Before that, we need to quickly get the reversion potion to increase the concentration of Cerberus in Lululeigh's Cerberus spell, so that he can complete his second magical Animagus.
In the process of preparing Snape, Ciel had already acquired almost all of Snape's potion-making knowledge.
Although he lacks some muscle memory and is certainly not as good as Snape at preparing potions, in terms of theoretical operation, he is almost the same as Snape.
Based on the theoretical foundation of a potion master, it may take many years of experimentation to actually concoct a potion that has never been seen before, such as the Atavism Potion.
However, if you only need to come up with a few theoretically feasible ideas, it's not difficult.
After racking his brains all night, Charles had several ideas.
Although it may take a potions master a lifetime to go from theory to practice.
But for Ciel, who possesses the deep blue, the miracle was but a fleeting moment!
"Deep Blue, using these theoretical approaches, deduce the formula for the atavism potion!"
Instantly, 100,000 simulation points were deducted.
It's as if countless Shires are adding bricks and tiles to several theoretical routes, with various attempts proceeding at an astonishing speed.
One theoretical approach after another was rejected, but at the same time, new approaches emerged.
In just a short while, among the interwoven thoughts that were like stars, one thought shone brightly—the feasible one that Deep Blue had deduced.
However, the numerous potion ingredients used in this approach left Charles speechless.
Not to mention that they are expensive and rare, more than half of them are medicinal materials from the medieval period, and some even date back to ancient times.
Charles estimated that even if you searched the entire magical world, you might not be able to concoct such a potion.
After shaking his head, Charles said in a low voice.
"The second simulation will use materials currently available in the magical world instead."
"..."
"Continue, three more simulations."
"Four simulations further increase my chances of successfully reverting to my ancestral form!"
……
Meanwhile, Lucius Malfoy, having endured a terrifying night, returned to Malfoy Manor, pale-faced.
His wife, Natasha, was immediately horrified when she saw Lucius's face and the bloodstains on his body.
"Lucius?"
"You're injured?!"
"What's going on? Weren't you supposed to teach that little mud-brain a lesson...?"
Natasha's eyes widened.
"He even dared to lay a hand on you?"
"I'll write to the other members of the board of directors right away, and tomorrow we'll initiate further disciplinary action against him. We can expel him!"
Unexpectedly, Lucius, who had never spoken ill of Natasha before, was immediately startled by these words and then angrily rebuked them.
"Shut up!"
"Take that word back, and never use it again, especially not with that person!"
Natasha stared blankly at Lucius, as if she didn't know what had happened.
Lucius gave a wry smile and waved his hand.
"Don't ask me for specifics, even if you do, I wouldn't dare to say."
"If I say something I shouldn't, I'm really afraid my whole family will be wiped out tomorrow."
"All I can tell you is, it's terrifying..."
"From now on, remember to address that person respectfully as—Lord Ciel Evans."
"Our Malfoy family is nothing but ants that can be crushed at his feet. Forget about revenge. We're lucky to survive as his dogs."
Then, Lucius, dragging his weary body, went to Draco's room in Malfoy Manor.
Draco had previously been sent from Hogwarts to St. Mungo's Hospital, and then brought to the manor to recuperate.
Upon seeing Lucius enter, Draco's face lit up with excitement.
He already knew from his mother that tonight was the Shire's journey to the Forbidden Forest, and Lucius would make him pay an unforgettable price to avenge Draco and Snape.
In Draco's eyes, his father Lucius Malfoy was an omnipotent being.
Since he made a promise to me, he will definitely be able to fulfill it.
"Father, is that little mud seed dead?"
"The Godfather is dead, all because of that little Mudblood, he deserved to die!"
Before the excited words could be finished, a crisp slap rang out.
Draco covered his face in disbelief, staring at the expressionless Lucius.
"Father?"
Lucius sighed.
"Remember this slap, Draco, and wake your mind from these unrealistic fantasies."
"I couldn't handle Charles. I failed, a complete and utter failure."
"It was so close. If I weren't still of use to him, I would be dead today. He would come to Malfoy Manor without mercy and kill your mother and you with the cruelest methods, making the Malfoy name disappear from the wizarding world completely."
"So Draco, stop having any more delusions and stop provoking Ciel Evans. Treat him with the same respect that Crabbe and Goyle treated you."
"From now on, the Malfoy family will be the Shire's dogs."
Draco's mind was buzzing, and an expression of disbelief crossed his face.
He could hardly believe that such humble words came from the mouth of his elegant and noble father.
Draco became excited.
"To be Ciel's dog?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"Father, are you confused? What are you saying?!"
Draco's face turned bright red as he shouted.
"I know, Father. You served the Dark Lord; I've known all along!"
"Cial Evans, he can't possibly be more powerful than the Dark Lord, how could you possibly serve him like this, Father?"
Lucius stared coldly at Draco, then tore off his sleeve, revealing his Dark Mark to Draco.
"Oh, you know now, right? It seems you're more sensible than I thought."
"But now that you know about the Dark Lord, I'll tell you plainly, Draco. It's precisely because I served the Dark Lord that I have no illusions and have decided to bring Malfoy along to serve as Ciel's dogs."
"As your father, as the current head of the Malfoy family, I swear to you with my soul, and you should remember this with your own soul..."
"Charles Evans, that little wizard, he's more terrifying than the Dark Lord!"
