Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 396 Arranging Afterlife! Gathering the Three Deathly Relics!

After eliminating the basilisk threat, Dudley will reside permanently in the Hogwarts Library for the next period of time.

He collected all the books in Hogwarts' collection, including those in the restricted section, and incorporated them into his own knowledge base.

After that, he began to renovate and refurbish the Hogwarts library and restricted book section.

He used magic to record the vast amount of magical knowledge he had collected, categorizing it into different types.

Of course, he didn't leave behind some of the dark magic with particularly severe side effects.

Dudley mass-produced a large number of blank magic books as carriers of knowledge. These magic books were resistant to decay and damage, impervious to water and fire, and also had an automatic repair function, allowing them to be preserved indefinitely.

Under Dudley's arrangement, the forbidden book section was divided into five danger level zones, storing black magic books of varying degrees of danger, with the danger level marked in a prominent place on the bookshelves.

After renovations, Hogwarts Library has hundreds of new bookshelves, significantly expanding its interior space. Each bookshelf is clearly labeled with book categories and is filled with brand-new books.

It has a completely new look.

Dudley also set up a conceptual restoration charm, stipulating that no book in the Hogwarts collection could be taken out of the Hogwarts grounds. Once taken away, the book would automatically return to its place on the library's bookshelves.

Hogwarts students and staff can only borrow books on campus.

While renovating the library, Dali was constantly researching ways to optimize and improve the Energy-Stealing Talisman and the Demon Blood Stone.

After the modifications were completed, the research also made progress.

Dudley himself then threw himself back into the work of creating various magical items.

Using the magical materials stored in his personal space, along with the materials Hagrid constantly collected in the Forbidden Forest, and the various materials Sirius Black bought from Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, he created a large number of valuable magical items with different functions and varying system ratings.

This includes A-grade and S-grade energy-stealing talismans, higher-quality magic bloodstones, and a very powerful death wand.

Next, Dudley rallied the Hogwarts professors who were on campus during the summer to resume the renovation of the training maze within the territory of the Eight-Eyed Spider in the Forbidden Forest.

The original unfinished maze was expanded further, making it even larger, with its internal space also expanded. Numerous magical measures were set up, including protective magic and magical traps, as well as various magical puppets and magical creatures.

The original eight-eyed spider clan had already signed a clan indenture, and now they would only obediently carry out Hogwarts' arrangements, serving as guards and training tools for the training labyrinth.

The snakes with magical animal bloodlines that Dudley had released into the Forbidden Forest, including three nigrostriatus, were also placed in the training labyrinth.

The large number of magical items created by Dudley were mostly placed throughout the labyrinth as rewards for completing the trial, and were protected by various encryption spells.

The level of danger a participant encounters in the maze, and the level of puzzles they solve, will determine the level of reward they receive.

When the new school year begins, the story used to deceive Ecclesiastes and Voldemort's main soul will become a reality.

The Labyrinth of Trials will serve as a training ground for fifth-year and above students, those who have delayed graduation, and graduates within five years who voluntarily return to Hogwarts to audit further studies.

Similarly, this is a benefit that only students whose moral character passes the test can enjoy.

As for students in grades five and below, they also have a specially designed training program by Dudley, but the training location is not in the training maze, but on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

After the Labyrinth of Trials was completed, Dudley added his own combat philosophy to all the battle statues and alchemical armor inside Hogwarts Castle.

Dudley has thoroughly figured out the shorthand quill that Rita Skeeter once contributed, and has learned the unique magical techniques contained within it, allowing him to easily imbue magical items with his own thoughts.

After that, Dudley found Old Man Dumbledore and told him all about his plans for reforming Hogwarts' ideological education.

He also left Old Deng a detailed plan.

The plan contains an encrypted spell that conceals a detailed scheme to use Ecclesiastes and Grindelwald to hone the magical world.

If Dudley is killed by Death and fails to use the power of the Conceptual Spell to eliminate all the dark wizards before his death, then this encryption spell will automatically be activated and become known to Old Dumbledore.

According to Dudley's calculations, when he fought Death, Ecclesia had at most just finished modifying her body, and Old Dumbledore could have immediately killed Ecclesia and terminated the plan.

Inside the principal's office, Old Deng, who was being meticulously instructed on all sorts of precautions by Dali, looked increasingly grim.

He wasn't stupid; considering all the arrangements Dudley had made at Hogwarts during this time, he had already guessed the answer.

"Dali, you're trying to sabotage..."

Dumbledore hesitated, his eyes filled with sorrow, "Why rush to fight Death? You're still so young. Wait a while longer, and perhaps you'll become stronger, and the wizarding world will become better..."

"The wizard's strength is useless against Death, and the power of conceptual spells takes a long time to develop."

Dudley made no attempt to conceal his plan to deal with Death, stating his own considerations directly: "I don't want to waste time living in fear and trepidation because of my concerns about Death. Such concerns would negatively impact any plan I want to implement."

And most importantly, it is precisely because the magical world is getting better and better that I cannot tolerate the fact that after years of hard work, all this beauty has been destroyed by the Grim Reaper.

"Life or death, good or bad, will be decided in this battle!"

Seeing Dudley's resolute determination, Dumbledore knew that Dudley had made up his mind and there was no going back.

Knowing Dudley's temperament well, he didn't continue trying to persuade him, but instead asked:

"Dali, when are you planning to set off to confront Death?"

"On the eve of the start of the next school year."

Dudley replied, “It’s mid-August now, and there are still about two weeks left. I still need to do some things.”

If all goes well, I will return to the Great Hall of Hogwarts for the opening banquet of the new school year.

Dumbledore nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Dudley waved his hand in a circle, opening a passage in his personal space, and then said to Dumbledore, "Throw the Elder Wand in."

Dumbledore was taken aback by what he heard, but he did not object. After realizing what was happening, he immediately did as he was told, took the Elder Wand from his sleeve, and threw it into Dudley's personal space.

"You need to defeat me once to gain the Elder Wand's true mastery."

After throwing the Elder Wand, Dumbledore gave another reminder.

“No need, it doesn’t matter whether the Elder Wand acknowledges me as its master or not,” Dudley replied.

Then, he took out a brand new wand from his personal space that was similar in shape to the Elder Wand but blood red in color, and handed it to Old Deng.

"From now on, you shall use this wand! Blood bond will grant you full compatibility."

Compared to the Elder Wand, this Death Wand's amplification effect on magic is not much inferior.
