Hogwarts: This wizard wants to make progress too much

More than an hour later, after consuming a lot of materials, Ethan finally completed the huge alchemy array.

It was a huge circular array, with three small circles nested in the middle, and thirty-three inverted triangles.

The souls of the werewolf wizards were pulled out of the Nibelungen, and what Ethan has retained are the elites Fenrir Greyback brought out.

He directly used the Spirit Expulsion Charm to strip their souls.

As for the bodies, they were left in the alchemy array.

Afterwards, Ethan placed the brains of the Boggart, Dementor, and Lethifold, as well as their stripped souls, in their respective positions.

Finally, he took out twenty goblin souls and placed them outside the alchemy array.

In ancient times, wizards, when creating these magical creatures, ensured their vitality with various human tissues and magical creature tissues through bio-alchemy, supplementing a large amount of flesh and blood to replenish their life force, with dragon flesh and blood being the best.

And what Ethan needed to do at this moment was soul-based bio-alchemy, using these goblin souls to replenish life force.

As for whether it would work or not, he would only know after experimenting.

As Ethan activated the alchemy array, it first lit up with a silvery-white light, then turned into a black and white intertwined color.

During this process, Ethan also continuously sacrificed these goblin souls to replenish the life force of the creature about to be born inside.

After about twenty minutes, Ethan had already sacrificed fifteen goblin souls.

The radiance in the alchemy array then began to fade, revealing a figure in the middle, about two meters tall, wearing a gray-black robe, with a seventy percent resemblance to the previous werewolf wizard, but appearing particularly thin.

It really was a success. Ethan still had control over it, which seemed to be the role the Helheim spirit played, allowing him to control them without using the Spirit Expulsion Charm.

As for whether it retained the abilities of the Dementor, Lethifold, and Boggart, Ethan had no idea.

But based on its current magic power reaction, it was higher than both the Lethifold and the Dementor, and it was still a spirit body, without flesh and blood. However, whether it still possessed the spellcasting abilities of its previous spirit form, Ethan was not very clear, and everything needed to be tested.

But since it was a success, there was no better way to deal with it.

As for the six Lethifolds under him, Ethan simply solved them all at once.

With the previous experience, the speed was now much faster.

With the six activations of the alchemy array, six more similar creatures appeared next to the finished product.

All of them were about two meters tall, wearing gray-black robes, equally thin, with only their faces showing different appearances due to the different souls used.

After cleaning up the scene, Ethan took the seven alchemy creatures out of the laboratory and came to Tom.

"This is my latest creation of bio-alchemy. During this time, you take them to experiment with their abilities and see if there is any potential to be tapped."

Ethan still had high expectations for them. Whether it was a Dementor or a Lethifold, these were things that ordinary wizards couldn't deal with. With them forming a bio-alchemy, it should be pretty good.

Chapter 185: Lucius's Information

There were three days left until Christmas.

Early in the morning, Ethan still crawled out of Penelope and Nagini's embrace. After washing up, he came to the dining room to have breakfast with Cassandra.

But Hatch handed Ethan's wizarding communication book over, the light flashing on the cover indicating that someone was sending him a message.

During this vacation, Ethan directly threw the wizarding mailbox into the living room and notified Hatch that if someone sent him a message, he should notify him.

Of course, Hatch was not qualified to view the information. The only thing he could do was notify him.

Ethan took it and didn't rush to open it, as it couldn't be anything urgent anyway.

If it were Hermione and the others, if they had something to say urgently, they would have come over directly with a Portkey, and wouldn't have used the wizarding mailbox at all.

As for other people's messages, Ethan basically didn't feel that anything would be urgent.

The students at Hogwarts were mostly just chatting, and Little Tom and the others were just reporting some things. What was there to be anxious about?

After Ethan had breakfast, Hatch brewed a cup of coffee, and Ethan sat on the sofa and opened the wizarding mailbox.

Sure enough, the first thing that caught his eye was Terry's message.

The message was sent over at ten o'clock last night, but at that time Ethan was still having a pleasant exercise with Penelope and Nagini.

Even if Hatch saw that there was a message coming in the wizarding mailbox, he wouldn't dare to disturb him, so it was delayed until now.

But this wasn't a big deal.

Because Terry had earned a lot of Galleons from Ethan, at least more than the pocket money of an average pure-blood wizarding child.

This also allowed him to buy a lot of gadgets in Hogsmeade Village to take home, some for himself to eat and play with, and others, like Ethan's original choice, as Christmas gifts for other classmates.

But yesterday, his family had a small gathering, and his uncle's seven-year-old son somehow found the wizarding snacks Terry had hidden in his room.

Among them were Chocolate Frogs, various candies, and Pepper Imps, which caused his cousin to put on a nose-fire-breathing performance in front of everyone.

At that time, Terry could only bite the bullet and say that this was a magic prop he had specially found. Later, the uncle's family and several relatives didn't ask too much about it, but Terry was still very nervous.

He knew that he couldn't casually reveal the affairs of the wizarding world to Muggles. Parents could be considered an exception, but parents must not explain these things to outsiders. Terry's explanation to others for going to Hogwarts was that he went to study in another place.

Now, although he hadn't revealed the affairs of the wizarding world, nor had he cast spells in front of them, these types of snacks were almost the same as magic.

As a Ravenclaw student, even though he was usually a bit gossipy, he still liked to read books very much, and was quite familiar with some of the rules and regulations of the magical world, especially in the Muggle and wizarding area.

This time, feeling like he had gotten into trouble, he sent several messages in a row overnight, very worried that he would be approached by people from the Ministry of Magic.

Ethan immediately replied to him, saying that as long as he insisted that it was a magic prop bought from outside, it would be fine, and there was no need to explain anything else.

As long as magic wasn't used, the Ministry of Magic couldn't detect it, and the matter would pass.

Ethan's message had just been sent when Terry replied, looking at the time, he probably hadn't slept all night.

Ethan comforted him a few more times and then flipped through it.

This was nothing big at all. As long as he insisted that it was a magic prop, even if others suspected it, what could they do? (cjbi)

The next message was from Little Tom, which was sent this morning.

Last night, he took down a pure-blood family who wanted to reach out into Knockturn Alley. The performance of the alchemy creatures Ethan made was quite good.

Although the Wizarding Heart Association initially gained a foothold in Knockturn Alley by fighting several pure-blood families, some pure-blood wizards would occasionally engage in minor provocations afterward.

If they couldn't succeed openly, they would resort to petty tricks.

According to the hidden rules among pure-blood wizards, losing meant paying a sum of blood money, a similar model to past aristocratic wars.

However, Little Tom, or Voldemort, wasn't that kind of person; he was very petty.

Offending him meant truly offending him; he would eliminate you, and all your property would become his.

Regardless of whether the offender's entire family was involved or it was an individual act, Little Tom directly marked the entire family.

Yesterday, Little Tom led Ethan's alchemical creatures on a mission, directly uprooting a mid-sized wizarding family.

This was already the fourth wizarding family that Little Tom had eradicated, and it was unclear why they didn't learn their lesson, knowing that blood money wasn't accepted here, yet they kept reaching out.

It can only be said that there are brainless people everywhere.

What followed was a series of reports on the abilities of these alchemical creatures.

They could cast spells wandlessly, use Legilimency, and were immune to most spells, able to absorb the happiness and souls of others, bringing despair and growing stronger in the process.

Tom subsequently provided his own assessment, stating that without understanding their abilities, even an entire squad of Aurors couldn't defeat them.

He also gave them codenames, from January to July, for easy reference.

Although they were alchemical creatures and didn't like to talk, it wasn't that they couldn't speak; they also understood how to think. (Sphinxes, for example, could speak fluently.)

Little Tom was currently trying to teach them magic, but this had only just begun, and no conclusion had been reached on whether they possessed the ability to learn.

After seeing this, Ethan understood the situation pretty well; in other words, they had inherited a little of every ability except for the Boggart's shapeshifting.

Drawing strength from absorbing the happiness and souls of others was quite promising.

It was just a pity that there were too few of them.

Finally, there was Draco's information, which had also been sent this morning.

Ethan had added his contact information, and usually, Ethan would send him messages if there was anything to discuss.

This was the first time he had proactively sent a message.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't that Draco had anything to say to him, but rather his father, Lucius.

A few days ago, the Malfoy family had received an invitation to an auction.

A magical book had recently been discovered in Greece, written by Herpo the Foul himself.

Moreover, this book was also a Horcrux of Herpo the Foul, and like Voldemort's diary, it was a Horcrux that had accidentally developed sentience.

After causing quite a stir in the Balkans, it was now in the possession of a black market manager there, who found it of little use to keep such a thing, and since there was already an auction scheduled for Christmas, he simply added the Horcrux to it.

Furthermore, Herpo the Foul's Horcrux was qualified to be the highlight of the auction.

Invitations had been sent to major dark organizations in Europe, or families with deep pockets and an interest in dark magic.

Lucius wasn't particularly interested in the invitation and didn't plan to attend.

But thinking of Ethan, who might be interested in such a Horcrux, he decided to inquire after some consideration.

Those who understood some of the inside story knew that Ethan had faced Voldemort's Horcrux directly and destroyed it.

Having destroyed Voldemort's Horcrux, Voldemort would certainly not let it go, and sooner or later the two would face off.

To deal with Voldemort, one had to first destroy his Horcruxes, and Herpo the Foul was the inventor of the Horcrux magic, so his writings, as well as the Horcrux that had developed a mind, would certainly be useful in this regard.

Voldemort didn't know when he would be resurrected, and now was the perfect time to curry favor with Ethan and bet on his side in advance.

Ethan naturally wouldn't be interested in an ordinary Horcrux of Herpo the Foul that hadn't developed sentience, but now it was different.

This was a black wizard of ancient caliber; he created both Horcruxes and Basilisks, and was also a Parselmouth, predating the four founders of Hogwarts by a thousand years, a genuine figure from before the Common Era.

He immediately replied, indicating his interest in participating.

As for Herpo the Foul's current state, Ethan had some guesses.

The Horcrux was still there, indicating that the main soul most likely still existed, but its condition might not be good.

For such a famous black wizard, it was impossible for him not to cause trouble.

As long as he was alive and capable, he would definitely stir up some commotion.

But throughout the history of the wizarding world, there had been no news of Herpo the Foul causing chaos, not even a trace of his legend in later eras.

That left only one possibility: he had encountered a genius of his era, who had sealed him away, and this seal had lasted until now.

Throughout the history of the wizarding world, every few decades or a hundred years, there would appear one or several monsters whose strength was so great that they were in a completely different dimension from ordinary wizards.

And Herpo the Foul had probably fallen into the hands of such a person, leading to his disappearance.

Therefore, Ethan wasn't worried about any negative consequences from taking Herpo the Foul's Horcrux.

Even if he escaped, it wouldn't matter; a person from over two thousand years ago, with only a remnant soul left after so many years, probably hadn't made much progress, and whether he could successfully resurrect, and whether his strength after resurrection could defeat Dumbledore, remained to be seen.

Ethan's message was answered quickly.

They agreed to meet on Christmas Day and invited Ethan to visit Malfoy Manor, then take him to the auction.

Ethan naturally agreed; the auction was held in the evening, and Ethan could go to Malfoy Manor in the afternoon.

But now Ethan had a question: if the Malfoy family could receive an invitation, there was no reason why the organization of Slytherin couldn't.

The Wizarding Heart Association was established too recently and only operated in Great Britain, so it was normal that they didn't know about it in Greece, but Slytherin was an international organization that operated quite frequently in Greece.

Dennis was currently managing things in Europe, and Ethan sent him an inquiry.

The result left Ethan speechless; he thought such things weren't of great value and might attract Herpo the Foul, so he had someone decline the invitation.

He had praised him for being reliable a few days ago, but this was it?

Didn't he know to ask?

Ethan immediately decided to deduct a year's salary and half a year's bonus to teach him a lesson.

[Thank you to the big boss Little Fatty 001 for the monthly ticket, thank you big boss!].

Chapter 186: Visiting Malfoy Manor

On Christmas Day, Ethan was still spending it at his home in London; Penelope and Cassandra had both returned yesterday.

After getting up in the morning and reaching out with both hands, Ethan was a little unaccustomed to the emptiness.
