Chapter 422 The completion of the ceremony and Andy’s progress

After controlling Reed with the Imperius Curse, Andy waved his wand to open the chains on the iron cage and controlled Reed to walk out of it.

"It seems... there should be no problem."

Andy stared at Reed for a while, and after confirming that Reed had no resistance, Andy put his hand on Reed's shoulder, and then started to apparate.

Snapped!

The scene in front of him changed instantly. The next moment, Andy had brought Reed to the cemetery in Godric's Hollow.

Usually, few people come here, but now it is around 8:30 in the evening, and the cemetery is even more deserted, with not even a single person in sight.

Andy waved his wand and released the fat cat Patronus.

"Stay around and don't let others come over." Andy warned.

The fat cat Patronus shook his tail at Andy, then flew away into the distance and hid in a corner.

"You're quite capable!"

Andy walked to the edge of the cemetery and raised his wand in his right hand.

"Stay safe...protect everyone...close your ears and listen..."

As Andy chanted the spell, a bright white translucent magic barrier slowly appeared and spread towards the surroundings.

By the time Andy walked around the cemetery, a magic barrier had enveloped the entire cemetery.

"OK!"

After finishing the preparations, Andy set his sights on Reid.

"Out-of-body experience!"

In order to ensure that there would be no accidents in the subsequent black magic transformation ceremony, Andy added another soul-stealing curse to Reed, and then handed a wand to Reed.

"Let's start!" Andy said.

Reid held the wand in his right hand and walked like a puppet to the middle of the cemetery - where the medicine bottles were buried.

Andy held up his wand and looked at Reid warily.

Fortunately, there were no accidents with the Imperius Curse.

Reed put the tip of the wand against his temple and whispered a strange spell.

As the spell was uttered, the tip of the wand lit up with a pale green light. Apart from that, nothing else happened.

Andy touched his left pocket.

"I should really bring the Veritaserum here so I can ask Reed what it feels like to recite the spell."

"It seems we can only wait until next time..."

He was thinking this, but the wand in Andy's hand kept pointing at Reed from afar - Andy didn't dare to let down his guard until Reed returned to the iron cage.

After reciting the spell three times in a row, Reed stopped.

Then Reid took the wand and lightly swiped the wrist of his left hand, and blood immediately flowed down the wrist.

Blood dripped on the ground.

Andy could see clearly that when Reed's blood flowed down and dripped on the ground, it seemed to be absorbed by some kind of force on the ground - it was definitely not seeping into the ground normally.

"Successful!" Andy thought to himself.

The absorption of blood means that the bottle of blood buried underground already possesses a certain amount of magical power.

Andy was a little excited when he saw this.

"Six more times!"

After performing the same black magic transformation ritual six more times, the bottle of blood soaked in the resurrection stone can be used to brew the potion.

Andy counted the time.

If you include the month it took to brew the potion, there are still seventy-two days left!

"Oh! We still have to wait for the night of the new moon."

Andy thought for a moment, and if he included the waiting time, it would not exceed ninety days at most.

After three months, everything will be revealed.

Blood was flowing, and Reed stood there, still muttering a spell in his mouth.

After about three minutes, the blood on Reid's wrist stopped flowing, and the black magic transformation ceremony officially ended.

Andy stepped forward and took Reed's wand.

Throughout the entire process, Reed showed no intention of resisting.

"It seems that I underestimated the effect of the Imperius Curse."

Andy muttered, then waved his wand, undoing the magic barrier covering the entire cemetery.

The fat cat patron saint also flew back.

Fortunately, during the black magic transformation ceremony, not even a ghost appeared around the cemetery, let alone a human figure.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Dismissing the fat cat patronus, Andy put his hand on Reed's shoulder.

Snapped!

With a soft sound, the disembodiment started, and Andy and Reed returned to the basement.

Putting Reed back into the cage, Andy handed Reed a bottle of fresh juice and a roll of bandages, and asked Reed to deal with the wound on his own.

Then Andy took out enough food and water for seven days from the pocket that had been casted by the space extension spell, and put them into the iron cage together.

Click——

The cage has been re-locked!

"..." Andy looked at Reid and was silent for a while.

After thinking about it, Andy decided not to remove the Imperius Curse from Reed for the time being.

What if Reed is a man with a strong personality, and he commits suicide inside because he would rather live in ruins than live in ruins?

Andy didn't want to take any risks.

Instead of leaving the decision to Reed, it is better to continue to use the Imperius Curse to control him and keep the decision in his own hands.

From now on, at most every three days, he will come over to refill Reed with a soul-stealing curse.

After making sure there was nothing wrong in the basement, Andy returned to the stone chamber above, closed the trap door and locked it.

Snapped!

Andy disapparated again and returned to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

Nine o'clock!

Andy was a little troubled.

It took too much time to adjust, and Andy had to wait outside for two hours before he could go back.

After thinking about it, Andy cast the Illusion Charm to hide his figure, went all the way to the eighth floor of the castle, and opened the magic practice room in the Room of Requirement.

Time was running out, and Andy couldn't waste it.

Since the beginning of school, Andy has accumulated another [potential point].

If you count the previous ones, Andy now has a total of four [potential points].

The experiment of black magic transformation requires waiting from 70 to 90 days.

According to the previous progress, Andy can almost increase the two attributes of [Mind] and [Will] to six points at the same time.

Although it is still a little short of the ideal seven points, if he continues to wait, Andy will have to wait five more months.

That will be April or May next year.

"...Let's take a look at Reed's experimental results first!"

Andy thought for a while and decided to wait for Reed's black magic transformation experiment to end... to see the effect, and then decide what state to use to complete his own black magic transformation.

Rumble——

While thinking, an orange light flashed across the practice room, followed by a violent explosion.

The human-shaped wooden target was blown to pieces in an instant!

There were also a few orange-red lines on the scattered debris.

Those orange-red lines seemed to be carrying a scorching temperature. When they hit the wall or fell on the ground, the fragments exploded a second time.

Boom boom boom! !

"call--"

Andy let out a breath, "The fusion magic has begun to bear fruit."
