Chapter 113 Solar Flare! Deducing the Death Curse!
When he saw the total number of his deduction points, Xia Er was a little incredulous.
Given his current mental strength, counting numbers would be a matter of a split second, making it impossible for him to make a mistake.
But this time, he couldn't help but count it several times before finally confirming that he hadn't misread the number.
With over 100 million deduction points, this is definitely the richest thing the Xiaer has ever achieved!
His eyes shone with fervor.
"The Necronomicon is truly a wonderful thing. It even has something that's connected to the ancient times. The deduction points it provides are truly extraordinary."
"It seems I need to keep a close eye on gathering information related to the Necronomicon in the future."
"Furthermore, the farm's future industrial upgrading direction has been determined; it will gradually shift from raising fantastical animals to raising those bizarre and unorthodox creatures!"
"Eight-eyed giant spiders and basilisk monsters are nothing compared to this; tentacles represent the true direction of advanced productivity!"
With thoughts flashing through his mind, Ciel glanced at the Malfoy father and son outside.
Seeing that they were all consciously covering their eyes and ears, as if afraid of seeing something they shouldn't, a strange look appeared in Charles's eyes.
To be fair, Lucius has a really good eye for talent.
They were thinking of avenging Snape and getting revenge for Draco, but now they've become so sensible.
This is similar to his performance in the original work, highlighting his flexibility in both stance and principles.
But to say he's rotten to the core wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Ciel had assumed the father and son would escape while he was holding off the evil spirit, but to his surprise, the two were waiting outside with wands in hand, intending to lend him a hand.
It just goes to show that human nature is indeed quite complex.
However, this did change Shire's attitude towards the Malfoys, making him much more lenient.
He strode over to the Malfoys.
Immediately afterwards, Lucius and Draco cautiously opened their eyes.
When they saw that it was Charles standing before them, instead of the sinister faces of old Crabbe and old Goyle, both father and son were moved to tears.
A slight smile appeared on Charles's lips.
"What, I thought you were hoping I'd perish along with whatever's inside?"
"She actually started crying?"
Lucius's usual elegance had vanished completely.
Today's events really scared him to death. If Ciel hadn't thrown him and Draco out, he felt he would have gone insane even if he didn't die!
Upon hearing Charles's words, Lucius, with tears streaming down his face, replied with a mix of flattery and sincerity.
"There can only be one sun in the sky, Lord Ciel, you are the only sun in my heart!"
"How could I possibly wish for the sun to fall? Then there would truly be no light left in the world!"
As they spoke, Lucius directly expressed his loyalty.
"The Malfoy family swears allegiance to Lord Ciel!"
Charles nodded slightly, said nothing more, and directly gave Lucius the task.
"Use your connections to find out information about the Necronomicon, or anything similar to what we've encountered."
A simple sentence was enough to make Lucius's face light up with ecstasy.
This means they've been accepted by Ciel, at least they don't have to worry about Ciel silencing them at any moment!
Lucius quickly made a guarantee.
"Even if it means going bankrupt, I will definitely find the information that Lord Charles needs."
Ciel waved his wand, and Lucius's sleeve rolled up, revealing the Dark Mark branded on his arm.
Then, to Lucius's astonishment, Shire waved his wand casually, and the dark magic mark that no one in the entire magical world could erase vanished in an instant, replaced by an indescribable white-gold demon god pattern.
Lucius's eyes widened, and his body trembled involuntarily.
Voldemort had been missing for many years, during which time he had tried more than once to wash away the Dark Mark from his body.
After all, this thing is definitely a ticking time bomb. If someone digs it up again one day, he will face huge trouble.
No matter how many wizards in the relevant fields he consulted, they were all helpless against the Black Mark.
This was set up by Voldemort himself, and even Dumbledore was powerless to stop it!
But now, Lucius could hardly believe his eyes. Ciel had simply wiped away the Dark Mark with a wave of his hand.
What does this mean?!
A storm raged through Lucius's heart.
He had thought that while the Shire was indeed terrifying, it might still take some time for him to grow to be the Voldemort of his prime.
But in retrospect, perhaps his judgment was far too wrong.
Perhaps Ciel has already surpassed Voldemort at his peak!
An eleven-year-old wizard has surpassed the most terrifying Dark Lord. What level will he reach as he continues to grow?
Dumbledore?
No, Dumbledore couldn't do anything to Voldemort either, so it was only a matter of time before the Shire surpassed him further.
The four founding members of Hogwarts?
Lucius felt that the Ciel might be more than that, and the four great leaders might not be much stronger than Dumbledore. At the age of eleven, they would be easily defeated by the Ciel.
A name then came to Lucius's mind.
"Merlin..."
"Perhaps the Ciel could rival the legendary wizard Merlin!"
Thinking of this, Lucius's breathing quickened, and an overwhelming sense of joy overwhelmed him.
Being a dog for an eleven-year-old wizard might sound a little shameful.
But to be Merlin's dog?
In the realm of epics, this would be considered the highest honor!
I've won the lottery!
Then, Ciel waved his wand again, leaving the same Daedric mark on Draco's arm.
He said it casually.
"If you encounter a desperate situation, press the marker, and I will come."
"But don't expect me to be your babysitter. Unless you do something extraordinary, you only have one chance to save your lives."
Upon hearing Charles say that the mark could be used to ask him for help, Lucius felt even more moved.
As expected of Lord Ciel, who is comparable to Merlin, look at how grand his vision is!
He is so generous and considerate to his subordinates that he will even grant them a chance to ask for help and save their lives.
Looking at the dark magic marks left by Voldemort, they are basically all one-way notifications; whether or not one can follow the markings depends on Voldemort's instructions.
And this aesthetic sense—that Black Demon Mark doesn't look like a good person at all; he has absolutely no sense of aesthetics or temperament.
Unlike Lord Ciel's mark, which is so elegant and aesthetically pleasing, it's clearly not something commonplace!
By the time Lucius snapped out of his reverie, Charles had already vanished from his sight.
Draco, standing to the side, was still in a daze.
"Father, so from now on we're really working for Charles... no, Lord Charles?"
Lucius's expression also turned serious.
"This is a rare opportunity. There are probably very few people in history who have had such an honor. We must do our best to complete the task assigned by Lord Charles."
"Draco, you'll be in charge of gathering information at Hogwarts. Some of your classmates come from quite prominent families, so they might have some relevant clues."
"And I will organize a special team in the magical world to investigate the Necronomicon and various strange events that Lord Ciel has asked us to investigate."
"To cover their tracks, this organization would use a school as a front, using academic research as a pretext, and call it—Miskatonic University."
The members responsible for investigating these incidents are collectively referred to as—investigators.
……
While Lucius was busy arranging matters related to the search for the Necronomicon, Ciel had already put the matter that had just occurred out of his mind.
Now that you've taken on subordinates, you don't need to micromanage everything. Just check on their progress every now and then. Otherwise, wouldn't you be working for your subordinates?
Lucius has managed to make the Malfoy family quite successful, so Ciel believes he doesn't need to worry too much about that.
The purpose of taking on subordinates is to reduce one's own troubles and allow more time to be spent on self-improvement, so it is natural not to put the cart before the horse.
Now, I should think about how to use these hundreds of millions of points.
Charles was deep in thought.
His strength is already formidable; if he were to unleash all his trump cards, he would be considered an elite even in the medieval era, easily defeating the current half-dead Voldemort.
Add to that his powerful holy magic and Cerberus's ability to counter the Killing Curse, and even a peak Voldemort would likely be overwhelmed and humiliated by the counter.
However, when Charles calculated that most of his strength lay in the magic Animagus.
Whether it's the Ancient Dragon form, the Cerberus form, or the Phoenix form which is likely to be obtained in two months, they all far surpass the Wizard form.
This made Charles shake his head; he still didn't like having any shortcomings.
Even though the wizard form was virtually unbeatable in the near-ancient era, Sharl still felt uneasy.
What if you encounter an enemy and there's no time to transform into your Animagus form?
You can't perfectly predict every battle and transform in advance every time, can you?
Although the transformation only takes a brief moment, at Ciel's level, that brief opening could very well give his opponent a chance to kill him!
Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to upgrade his already powerful Animagus form; his focus was on his wizard form.
"First and foremost, it has destructive power."
"The Eternal Blazing Sun Spell and the Sunless Sun Spell derived from the Firefly Spell used to feel incredibly powerful, but now, even when combined with triple casting, they feel somewhat lacking."
"For my current mental strength, this is a bit too light; I need something more intense."
Charles's eyes flickered, and after a moment he made a decision.
"Deep Blue, after the sixth deduction of the Fluorescent Spell, continue to enhance the destructive power of spells like Eternal Blazing Sun and Sun Without Light."
"Explosive bursts, I need instantaneous bursts!"
When Ciel decided to perform the Fluorescent Spell for the sixth time, a total of two million deduction points were deducted.
It's important to know that by this time, Shire had already collected a massive amount of advanced materials at Hogwarts, and had even learned some of the essence of spellcasting from Professor Flitwick. The materials he obtained could reduce the deduction points required for all magic.
With this accumulation of materials, Ciel estimates that he will only need to consume one-tenth of the original points to deduce spells such as the Glowing Spell.
Even so, it still consumed a full two million points.
This means that without the support of source materials, it would take 20 million points to complete this simulation.
This is already at the level of ancient dragon language magic!
A look of anticipation appeared in Charles's eyes.
The reason he chose to continue deducing the Glowing Charm first, rather than re-deducing other spells, was because, based on his past experience, the further he deduced, the more qualitative the change became with each iteration.
Even though the starting point of the Glowing Charm as a basic spell is slightly lower than that of other spells, after five iterations, the power of six iterations is far beyond what ordinary spells can achieve in four or five iterations.
It seems that we can look forward to the results of this simulation.
At this moment, countless pieces of knowledge began to flood into Charles's mind.
The path after the Eternal Blazing Sun was already clear to Sharl from his previous deductions; the next step was to simulate those celestial bodies to enhance the destructive power of the spell.
Ultimately, the simulations suggest that solar fusion, gamma-ray bursts, and even black holes could occur!
These astronomical phenomena are something that even the physicists from before Xia Er's previous life wouldn't dare say they could fully understand, let alone the magical world of 1991.
But deep blue has infinite possibilities.
In Xia Er's mind, an image of the sun appeared in a daze, and on the already incredibly hot surface of the sun, there were areas that were many times hotter than the rest of the area.
There, high-energy particles burst forth carrying immense energy...
Its name is—solar flare!
Ciel instinctively raised his wand as well, and intense light and heat converged on the mithril wand, ready to unleash the Eternal Sun Spell.
At that moment, instead of releasing his power as usual, Charles kept replaying the scene from just now in his mind.
The next moment, the gestures changed, the incantation was whispered, and the corresponding incantation structure formed in the outside world also changed.
On the dazzling sphere formed by the Eternal Blazing Sun Mantra, one area began to shine brighter and brighter, as if it had gathered energy from the rest of the area.
Immediately afterwards, a torrent of solar energy erupted from the flare, with blazing white flames sweeping forward like a stream of light.
Everything in front of Shire—the earth, rocks, soil, rivers, and even the air—evaporated in an instant!
A deep blue notification sounded in Charles's mind.
"The sixth deduction of the Glowing Spell is complete. The host has obtained the spell—Solar Flare!"
"Concentrate the power of the Eternal Sun at the flare, unleashing a torrent of solar flames that incinerates everything in its path, possessing an instantaneous burst of power ten times greater than the Eternal Sun!"
Feeling the power of the solar flare, Ciel took a deep breath.
Even if my Ancient Dragon form could withstand that attack, it would definitely suffer severe damage!
After all, no matter how powerful Gu Long was, he couldn't withstand the power of a solar flare.
Even if this was merely a simulation created with magic, it was still something that flesh and blood could not withstand.
"This is just simple spellcasting. If we also use the multicasting techniques learned from Professor Flitwick, three solar flares can erupt instantly..."
Just imagining that scene terrifies Ciel!
At this point, after six simulations, the solar flare has become the Charr's strongest attack method!
However, his deductions did not end there.
"So far, all the magic I have mastered, whether it's polymorphism, holy magic, or a series of glowing spells, should be considered white magic."
"But as the most bizarre and dangerous part of magic, black magic is able to rival white magic, so it naturally has its own unique features."
"It just so happens that with the help of Cerberus, I can directly skip the points for the first three deductions of black magic, and I can raise black magic to an extremely high level in a short time."
"Especially that magic..."
A look of anticipation appeared in Charles's eyes.
"What would the Killing Curse, currently the most powerful spell in the magical world, look like if it were to be simulated three, four, or even five times?!"
