Chapter 329 327 Heading Towards Legend

The second method is easier and faster, but it also has disadvantages, that is, it requires a large number of souls for research, and the appearance of souls is often accompanied by the departure of a life.

However, the soul of a human who died normally is difficult to be captured by a wizard, and there is no possibility of it staying in place.

Therefore, in order to implement this second method, you need to capture the soul of the person who was killed, and only such souls can be used or studied by wizards.

Of course, Feeney won't do it himself.

Killing people, even if you don't use the Death Curse to kill people, will still be stained on the soul under a certain amount of circumstances. An impure soul will inevitably become an obstacle on Fini's path to the throne.

Therefore, the method Feeney chose was to use specially made alchemy tools to collect souls when others were killing people.

Simply put, this is New York, one of the most prosperous cities in the United States.

And there is a Clinton District here, which is also known as Hell's Kitchen. Here, death has become a common thing.

As the most famous slum in Manhattan Island, it is inhabited by the working class of Irish immigrants and is famous for its messy and backward living quality, serious ethnic conflicts and high crime rate. Burning, killing and looting can be seen everywhere here and can be heard at any time.

In such a place, the number of people dying every day is enough for Feeney to study.

but!

It was impossible for Feeney to spend all his time in Hell's Kitchen, nor to be present at every casualty incident here.

That way, putting aside his own safety, even if he is a near-legendary wizard, no matter how good his martial arts skills are, he is still afraid of a kitchen knife. Facing the most common firearms in New York is also very dangerous.

Therefore, alchemy props are a must. As long as you place an alchemy item that collects souls in a place with a high probability of accidents in Hell's Kitchen, and then replace it with new props regularly,

And Finny's ability to refine this alchemical tool that can collect souls is also due to the opportunity he used Voldemort's Horcrux to exchange for the opportunity to study the Deathly Hallows from Dumbledore a few years ago.

At that time, Feeney wore the three Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand, the Cloak of Invisibility, and the Resurrection Stone on his body. He accidentally went to the underworld where the God of Death was, and saw the scene of the soul returning to the West.

Later, I learned from Nico that the Death Door in the Ministry of Magic was connected to the underworld and had the effect of absorbing souls. Only then did I get the inspiration and principles to refine this alchemical item.

The effect of this alchemy tool is indeed very miraculous, and it can even be said to be unique in the magic world.

However, in fact, its appearance is very ordinary, just like a kerosene lamp.

It is the style of the kerosene street lamps that are scattered on the roadsides here in Europe. In Europe, when it is getting dark in the evening, there will be special spots waiting for people to walk onto the streets and go under those without street lamps. climb up and light the street lamps, then go out and extinguish them the next morning,

This kind of waiting is indeed rare in the United States, but it is not unheard of.

So Feeney placed them in Hell's Kitchen so they wouldn't feel out of place when others saw them.

In order to maintain the effect of hiding itself, this kind of kerosene lamp will also emit light when it senses that the sky is getting dark. It has the same effect as a real street lamp, except that its fuel is no longer kerosene, but the soul inside. ,

These are also the only ways that Feeney can use his soul today.

,,,,,,,,,

As Feeney placed the soul-absorbing props, he began to study magic in seclusion, going out regularly to exchange for soul street lamps.

And this retreat lasted for one year.

In fact, it was not that Finny could not continue to be in seclusion, but that the Muggle he found had been under the influence of the Imperius Curse for a long time, and was exposed by the staff of the Magic Congress.

The staff followed the Muggle's clues and found the apartment.

Fortunately, Feeney had arranged security magic near the apartment. When the wizard staff arrived near the apartment, he knew about it and disapparated and left the apartment.

"It's bad luck,"

Feeney stood in a dark alley in Hell's Kitchen and sighed,

He leaned against the wall helplessly, looking at his surroundings vigilantly.

"It looks like I can't stay in New York anymore, but it's almost there. After all, I've been controlling that Muggle for a year, which is long enough."

Speaking of this, Feeney couldn't help but feel pity for himself. He was just a little short of it. As long as he was given a period of time, he would definitely be promoted to legend. Now, his magic power, understanding of magic, and even control of magic can be achieved. Call it a legend,

The only difference is at the soul level.

In fact, judging from the current situation, Feeney can successfully advance to Legend. But he has been suppressing his magic level,

Promotion to a legend requires a ritual, a transformation of oneself from the inside out.

Completely transform your original human body into a magical creature, become more adaptable to magic, and control the magic more easily.

At the same time, you can transform your soul, or let your own soul sublimate,

The reason why Feeny is still dragging on is actually very simple.

He didn't want to be like other wizards who used the second method and become unstable and need to be restored bit by bit.

He wants to be able to rival most legends in power after becoming a legend.

And to get this result, Feeney has only one way,

That is to do it more thoroughly and comprehensively when sublimating the soul, and this requires an understanding of the soul that is far beyond the control of a wizard who has just entered the legend.

Only those who have reached Dumbledore's level of understanding of the soul can reluctantly do this, and only Nico can definitely do this.

But don't forget that Nico spent five hundred years understanding, analyzing, using, and studying the soul.

After taking a short rest, Feeney left the alley again,

This time he didn't use magic;

He knew very well that when he apparated here, he could definitely be tracked by those from the Magic Congress. However, the process was more complicated, so he didn't rush here.

However, they can definitely come over next,

Similarly, if you use Apparition to leave here, you will definitely be tracked. Therefore, it is best to take the Muggle method and leave on foot.

Just as Feeney had guessed, two hours after he left, two figures appeared out of thin air in the alley where he had been. They were officially Aurors of the Magic Congress, and their main job was to track down people smuggled into the country. American wizards.

To Phinney's surprise, the Presbyterian Church did not realize that Phinney had smuggled himself into the United States, but still thought he was hiding somewhere in Europe.

After all, there are so many types of secrecy magic, and even the Presbyterian Council does not understand or even know about some, such as the magic in Nico Manor.

Therefore, the Presbyterian Church has been searching for traces of Feeney in Europe,

They knew about Nico's manor. Although they still couldn't find it, they never thought that it would be inherited by Feeney.

"he left."

The two Auror men said to the woman next to them,

The woman frowned,

"It should be a British wizard. There are some traces of British magic in his apparation."

"Well, it's probably not wrong, but why did he smuggle to the United States? According to our investigation, he has never been seen again after coming to the United States. He has been hiding in that No-Maj family, and other people who smuggled to the United States Wizards in America are completely different,”

The man spoke again,

The woman nodded,

"However, judging from the traces he left behind using the magic of Apparition, all the unknown traces of magic that appeared in New York in the past year were all left by him,"

The man was stunned,

"You mean it's not that he didn't leave the apartment, but that his departure was not noticed by others?"

The woman nodded,

"Probably, after all, even the Magic Congress will not specifically supervise the emergence of the magic of Apparition. If unknown magic had not appeared too frequently this year, we would not investigate possible problems among No-Majs. "

"So, where do you think he's going?"

"I don't know, but I suggest checking out places with unknown magic traces, especially those places with permanent magic traces in Hell's Kitchen,"

The man nodded, fully agreeing with the woman's suggestion.

The two people disappeared together,

The next time he appeared was at the nearest place where Feeney had installed soul street lights. However, the street lights there had been removed by Feeney two hours ago.

It's not like he wants to leave his alchemy tools to the Aurors of the Magic Congress, not to mention that there is a soul in them.

After that, the male and female Aurors kept disappearing and appearing all over Hell's Kitchen, but all the traces of magic that should have existed here disappeared.

Their operation to capture Feeney could only come to an end temporarily.

As for Feeney at this time, he took his street lamps and got on the train to Arizona, leaving New York.

As mentioned earlier, Feeney actually uses his own power in the United States. The reason why he did not find it before was just because it was not convenient to study souls with his men again, and it was not so good-looking.

After all, as long as you are a slightly righteous being, you will not approve or pursue an existence that wantonly plays with the soul.

Although Feeney's souls were all created by other people killing other people, it wasn't very good after all, and he didn't know if any of his men had the kind of Virgin Hearts among them, so it would be better to pay attention. , save a lot of trouble,

But now, his research on souls has made great progress, and there is no need for new souls to be brought in. The souls in his hands are completely enough, and the Aurors have also found that he is not suitable to continue living in New York. Instead, finding your own subordinates became the best choice.

The headquarters of his forces in the United States is located in Phoenix, the state capital of Arizona, also commonly known as Phoenix City.

This city is not only the sixth largest city in the United States, but also a city with the same name as Feeney. Choosing the headquarters here is not only Damon's intention, but also Feeney's wish.

Phoenix is ​​the largest state capital in the United States, with a population greater than that of other state capitals and the U.S. capital, Washington, DC. Phoenix is ​​the third largest capital city in the United States, behind Juneau, Alaska, and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

As for the headquarters of the Finnish forces in Phoenix City, Stefan set up it in a tavern in South Phoenix City.

Yes, it is still a tavern, which is in line with the way the Black family has always set up a power base, but unlike the ones in Europe, this tavern is a Muggle tavern, not a specialized wizarding tavern.

On the one hand, this is because the unique living environment of wizards in the Americas is not suitable for the existence of pure wizard buildings. On the other hand, in the Americas, the sources of information for Muggles are actually much broader than that of wizards. Muggle buildings More suitable for collecting data,

One day later, Feeney came outside the pub.

The name of the tavern is very easy to find. It's called Chocolate, which is the name of Feeney's pet cat. It also means that this is a very safe tavern. There is no need to worry about various accidents that may happen in those taverns.

Because this pub is very safe, it is liked by many girls, thus attracting a large number of young men, and many people even find their lovers here, so it is also known as white chocolate (an otherworldly love)

Therefore, the flow of people here is actually very large. Feeney's behavior standing at the door is not so abrupt, because there are many people like him.

Many people will be hesitant to go in, hesitating whether this place is really as safe and reliable as the rumors say.

The atmosphere here in the United States is indeed much more open. One night, love affairs are not free, but there are also some relatively conservative people here. They also hope to find a loyal lover and be loyal to each other.

(Phoenix, also known as Phoenix, was the sixth largest city in the United States in the 2000 official census, but in 2005 the population surpassed Philadelphia and officially became the fifth largest city in the United States. The timeline at this time is In 1995, so the situation in 2000 is taken,)

(The same reason applies to Hell's Kitchen, also known as Clinton District. In fact, Hell's Kitchen at this time was not the kind of place where burning, killing, and looting is very common in movies and TV shows, because the real estate value here is low, the rent is low, and it is close to the famous It is a city of art performances and Broadway, so many artists who came to New York to pursue their dreams of becoming stars once lived in Hell's Kitchen before they became successful. Therefore, the security of Hell's Kitchen is actually good now, and because of its location close to the business district of Midtown Manhattan , real estate values ​​and rents here have also grown significantly, even surpassing the Manhattan average).

This book is about to be finished, so there are many places that need to be described carefully, but even here, there are still many places that I described too harshly and briefly. On the one hand, there was a problem with the outline I prepared at the beginning, which led to the final One-third of the part has no outline. I can only think about it bit by bit while writing.

On the other hand, I am also looking for a job. It is not impossible to write full-time, but with poor grades and only more than 1,000 monthly manuscript fees, it is really impossible to survive. At the same time, I am also thinking about a new book.

In other words, I was torn back and forth between three themes. One idea was to write a fanfic of Jiang Ye. My first book was a fanfic of Jiangye, but because it was my first time to write a book, I felt very uncomfortable. satisfy,

The second idea is to write a One Piece fanfic. At the beginning, I actually had an unfinished One Piece fanfic. However, the setting of that book was a bit old-fashioned, so I was thinking about whether to write a new one.

The other one is an idea I had a long time ago. It is an original story, a Western fantasy, where the protagonist is a minor character.

To sum up, there may be some interruptions in the last part of this book. Don’t doubt it. By that time, I must have been stuck. I definitely wasn’t slacking off and playing games. Well, definitely not!
