Chapter 56 Soul Membrane and Magical Fluctuations
"Wait, is there any change in this ending?"
Meka Anders quickly retracted his thoughts. He saw the mysterious silver lines on the body flashing and then lurking into his body. A hazy light spread throughout his body, forming a light-colored "eggshell" that wrapped him up.
"Very comfortable." Meka felt that he had received a "deep massage" in his spirit. It was difficult to express how comfortable he was now. He felt that this hazy silver light that made him feel comfortable was not acting on the body, but on the "soul".
"This is the idea I had when I conceived the blood fetus." Meka heard Phelps speak in his mind, "Even if the vampire's natural Animagus is hidden in the dark, it is inevitable that there will be magic fluctuations, which are easy to be detected, so I left the last resort in the blood fetus."
Phelps explained that this method will use the accumulated excess energy to generate a "membrane" outside the host's soul when the semi-finished blood fetus has completely exhausted its potential.
This ‘soul membrane’ will make the host’s magic fluctuations be bound in the body when transforming into an Animagus, and will not escape, achieving the effect that those wizards with superb magic can control magic fluctuations to hide themselves.
“What a genius!” Meka sighed.
This wizard who was born as a vampire is so talented that he can leave a means to improve the ills of a race in a semi-finished blood fetus. This is a thorough study of magic, vaguely going deep into the core, and almost completely transforming it into another new magic.
“The formation of the soul membrane is not achieved overnight.” Meka sensed that this layer of ‘soul membrane’ does not grow fast, but grows little by little on the spirit. It will take some time to form completely.
When the ‘soul membrane’ is born, the blood fetus will completely lose its ‘luster’ and its potential will be completely lost. It will have to wait for someone to further improve it.
"So this is the fluctuation of magic power?"
When Maika closed his eyes and felt it, he seemed to see bright spots of light emanating silently from his body, trying to float far away. A small part of it was blocked by a small piece of 'soul membrane' that had just grown, so it returned to the body.
...
A few days later, Maika took advantage of the growth of the 'soul membrane' and finally mastered the disarming spell and the levitation spell. After he tried to cast the spell successfully, he suddenly decided to go to the restricted book area of Hogwarts tonight to explore the truth.
In the dead of night, snoring gradually rose. Maika got up from the bed, changed into an airtight black robe, whispered, and his figure quickly expanded and shrank in the darkness, turning into a pitch-black bat and flew out of the window.
"The Black Lake at night is a beautiful sight."
Meka lowered his bat's head. He saw the Black Lake outside the window reflecting the brilliant golden moon at night. The wind blew, the water surface sparkled, and the golden moon in the water also broke apart in the shaking, and then slowly returned to its original state.
Suddenly, the golden moon in the water broke again, and a huge black shadow walked under the lake, stirring up the water surface, and the water surface was completely undulating, as if a huge body was floating on the surface, and black tentacles were dancing under the moon, and soon retracted.
"Is this a magical animal hidden in the Black Lake?"
Meka looked at the huge shadow and felt strange. He rarely saw magical animals in the lake voluntarily float to the surface. It looked like a huge squid. I just don't know what special place it has to be rated as a magical animal?
He spread his wings and flew high into the sky. He soon arrived at the tower where the forbidden book area was located. The surroundings were silent, and there were huge ancient tree shadows swaying on the tower body, as if a figure was waving.
"There are many books related to the dark arts hidden in the restricted area, many of which are on the Ministry of Magic's list of banned items. There should be some protective measures around it."
Meka warned himself to be careful. He guessed that it was impossible to show it to others generously. Maybe there were some hidden mechanisms waiting for some ill-intentioned people and curious students to come.
The bat flapped its wings and easily got into the tower. Hiding in the shadows, he heard footsteps around him, wandering around and slowly going away.
"Is it the gatekeeper Filch?"
Meka guessed, and soon he got the answer. There was a light cat cry in the night, which also went away with the footsteps. This was probably the voice of Filch's pet cat, Mrs. Norris.
"It's good to go, it's good to go."
Meka waited for the sound to disappear, and he explored the environment around the corridor, looking for the entrance to the restricted area.
He originally planned to enter through the window, but after searching, he found that all the windows in the restricted area were tightly closed, so he had to give up this idea.
"It seems that the only way to enter is from the front door."
Meka returned to an ancient door with floral and vine patterns carved on it. The brass door handle was covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had entered for a long time.
He changed from a bat to a human, took out the wand from his arms, and pointed it at the brass door handle.
"Alaho!"
A whisper sounded, and the door lock clicked, and the lock opened, revealing a crack on the side of the door.
Meka pushed the door open with his toes and looked at the situation inside. He was cautious, worried that he would touch any mechanism, and pushed the door open after making sure that nothing was wrong.
"Dingling!"
The crisp sound of the brass bell made his hair stand up. He raised his head suddenly, thinking that the mechanism was triggered, but he only saw the yellow brass bell tied to the door shaking, and the sound gradually died down.
Meka pricked up his ears and listened, he was worried that Filch would hear the sound of the brass bell and come back.
"Fortunately, nothing is wrong."
Meka didn't hear the footsteps, so he breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door carefully, and walked into this old book room. The curtains on both sides showed mottled light in the darkness, which was the night leaking in through the closed windows.
There were many bookshelves in the house, which were also covered with dust. He walked through the bookshelves and saw many books that he had never seen in the library, or even heard of.
"The Guide to Medieval Wizards, Forgotten Ancient Magic, Poison and Magic, Terrible Magical Creatures Hidden Underground..."
"Anatomy of Fantastic Animals, Spells Born in Disasters, Unquenchable Flames..."
"It really makes me want to take them all away." Meka was itching, but he was still cautious to only look and not touch, worried that a slight touch would cause unknown changes and movements, attracting people to come and check.
There are many books in the forbidden book area. Meka looked for a long time, and his eyes were a little sore. Finally, he found the book he had been thinking about.
"Alchemy of Life..." Meka stopped and read the words on it softly.
This is a black ancient book, the cover looks like some kind of animal skin that has been burned by fire, with clear textures and wrinkles on it. On the side of the book, the words "Life Alchemy" are a little blurred.
"Written by Ole Block." Meka saw this name hidden in a corner, the words were sloppy and almost invisible.
"It's this one."
Meka thought, should he take it directly? If he took it directly, would it trigger some kind of movement? Or should he wrap it up with something?
"Is there any mechanism here?"
He was a little confused. Although he was very cautious all the way here, he still didn't see any mechanism.
"No matter."
Meka decided to take a chance. He took out the towel used for dining in his pocket and carefully picked up the leather ancient book.
"Sure enough, it contains the thoughts of Ole Block!"
Meka's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed. A figure flashed in his mind, which triggered the space in his mind.
Suddenly, he almost lost his grip on the book in his hand, and his eyes suddenly looked towards the door. The yellow copper bell on it was shaking, making an unusually clear and melodious sound, completely breaking the tranquility of the night, as if giving a warning!
