From the perspective of a Muggle studies scholar like Caredi Bubbaji, the value of this "Dictionary of Hell" is to let wizards know that in the eyes of Muggles, many things in the wizarding world have been demonized. This led to Muggles' fear of wizards.

If this prejudice can be eliminated, tragedies similar to the Salem Witch Trials may be avoided, and wizards and Muggles can communicate more harmoniously.

She believed that Regulus was interested in Muggle books because he was someone like her.

After hurriedly returning to the office, Regulus began to study the "Book of Dark Arts" written by the French Muggle Colin de Blancy.

After flipping through it quickly, Regulus quickly discovered that most of the book was based on delusions and was filled with nonsense.

For example, the hell in the author's imagination has a similar administrative structure to the human world. In various countries, there are even demon ambassadors disguised as humans and living in the world without anyone noticing.

As for the so-called hell, there are 6666 demon legions, and each legion has 6666 demons, each belonging to 72 commanders...

Regulus could only think that if there really were so many demons, then human beings would have been wiped out long ago, and they would not be able to live and work in peace and contentment as they do now.

Of course, there is about a tenth of the book that is not too bad.

For example, in those descriptions of demon commanders, the so-called Archduke of Hell, Abigor, is actually a wizard riding an Iseron; and the Sphinx-like Hell Commander, Malbus, is most likely a slither. Sphinx, but the author changed the beautiful female face of the Sphinx into a rugged male to make the monster look more scary.

Basically, the corresponding prototypes can be found for the 72 great commanders, most of which are highly dangerous magical animals, such as the horse-shaped water monster, the bird snake, and even the manticore.

There are also many disgusting things such as half-humans and half-animals formed after transfiguration went seriously wrong, or spliced ​​creatures, hybrid products, etc. created by cruel black magic rituals.

The most representative one is Pal, who has the heads of a human, a cat, and a toad at the same time, attached to the body of an Acromantula.

Compared to these messy suture monsters, Regulus even thought that the five-legged monsters and Chimera beasts looked cute.

Judging from the "Key of Solomon", if the rituals in the book are to create these things, it is no wonder that the court magicians did not hesitate to disobey their own kings and secretly tamper with the contents of the book.

Regulus was not interested in those ugly monsters. The only thing worth taking seriously was an illustration in a book.

The creature painted in the picture looks like a human in terms of body shape, but it is much taller and stronger. He has goat's horns and hooves, and a pair of huge wings spread out from his back, which look like bat wings, and in his hands are Holding a scythe-like weapon.

The note below reads: "Belly, also known as Belial, Belial, means devil. From "The War between the Sons of Light and the Sons of Darkness"."

Regulus had seen this image before.

In the memory of that mysterious voice reaching him.

He opened "The Key of Solomon" and found the chapter corresponding to Belial. According to the annotations, he waved his wand and quickly built a spell framework.

As expected, when the magic flow reached the first node, there was a stagnation, and then the frame shattered.

"Sure enough."

Then, Regulus carefully operated Occlumency, recalling the memory of the demonic image and a powerful "Transformation".

This kind of transformation is completely different from Animagus transformation, including the legendary Druid transformation.

On the contrary, the ritual recorded in the "Key of Solomon" is highly similar to the "Transformation Technique".

Seeing that the door to the new world was about to open to him, Regulus immediately rebuilt the spell framework and made slight modifications to the framework according to the method in his memory.

After injecting magic power again, an irresistible feeling of fatigue immediately hit me.This feeling is completely different from the situation of overdraft of magic power, but more like not sleeping for three days and three nights.

But this time, the magic power was running extremely smoothly. The spell model lit up, and then, a green rune lit up on Regulus' right hand.

"This is……"

He wanted to take a drink of water, but because he couldn't control the strength in his hand, he crushed the cup to pieces.

This also woke him up from studying magic. When he looked at the time, it was already midnight.

In fact, Regulus wanted to continue his research, but the office was not a suitable place.

Originally, the fireplace could lead directly to No. 12 Grimmauld Place, but recently the Ministry of Magic has begun to strictly control the floo network and portkeys.

The reason is that wizards have been smuggled into the country to prevent them from committing acts that endanger safety.

On the surface, No. 12 Grimmauld Place is uninhabited, and Regulus has no intention of going to the Ministry of Magic to reveal his identity. Currently, only Dumbledore and several deans know his true identity. , Lupine and Slughorn.

The next day, Regulus came to the Great Hall for breakfast.

He soon realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the auditorium.

Students were in groups, whispering to each other in low voices.

And the teachers all looked serious.

Before he reached the long table, Professor McGonagall had already greeted him, holding a copy of the latest "Daily Prophet" in his hand.

"You have to see this." Professor McGonagall's voice sounded more serious than usual.

Regulus took the newspaper, and the photo that took up half of the page immediately attracted his attention.

A thin face, tangled, foot-long hair like dirty dough sticks, tattered prison uniforms, and crazy eyes.

He recognized who the person above was at a glance.

The title of the report below is in shocking large bold font.

Blake is on the run from prison.

"The Ministry of Magic confirmed today that Sirius Black, considered to be the most brutal and notorious prisoner who ever stayed in Azkaban Prison, had successfully escaped from prison earlier and is currently missing."

"'We are working hard to recapture Black,' Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge said in a speech this morning. 'We hope that the wizarding community will remain calm. Our Aurors have begun a manhunt for Black and strive to capture him as soon as possible. Captured. At the same time, the dementors will join the search. I hope everyone can cooperate and not anger them'."

"... In addition, Minister Fudge also stated that the previous Muggle attacks had nothing to do with Black's escape from prison. 'The mysterious man will not come back. We will clarify all rumors about him, and those who spread rumors will be severely punished. Black The escape was entirely his own fault.'"

"...the Muggle Prime Minister has been informed of the danger of Black, who will also be wanted in the Muggle world, who have been told that Black carries a gun (a metal wand used by Muggles to kill each other)."

After reading it, Regulus felt mixed for a moment.

"This idiot!"
