Chapter 74 Fuling Soul-Destroying Agent

Chapter 74 Fuling Soul-Destroying Agent

"I need a room to hide things."

"I need a room to hide things."

"I need a room to hide things."

After walking back and forth under a tapestry three times and reciting his wish three times, a door actually appeared. Owen held a small magic wand in his left hand, checked the number of layers of his armor charms again, carefully opened the door, and then put a magical dummy inside.

Good, there was no attack.

After confirming the mannequin was safe, Irving went inside and saw a pile of junk!

Judging from the thickness of the dust, no one has been in this room for at least several decades. And inside are tables, chairs, books, a broken broom, and even a love letter.

"This love letter wasn't sent out, but hidden here—it must be a secret crush, right?"

Irving didn't open it to look at it. Instead, he put the thing back in its place. Who knows, someone might come and see it later and be surprised to find that their great-grandfather or great-grandmother had this kind of story during their school days!

The youthful recklessness of youth can lead to a social death in front of one's children and grandchildren in old age; it's quite interesting.

Even the storeroom is tidier than this place. It seems that whoever found this room before didn't pay much attention to it. After waving his wand to clear a path for himself, Owen began to search seriously.

The library records describe in detail the function of the Ravenclaw crown, stating that wearing it grants the wearer Ravenclaw wisdom.

However, there is no description of what this wisdom is like, and there are no photos or portraits of what the crown looks like. Therefore, Owen's search is not for objects, but for all objects with magical fluctuations, especially those related to black magic.

After searching for two full hours, Owen finally found a crown with dark magic fluctuations on a bust. It was a feminine design, rather retro. And when he got closer, Owen could clearly feel that there was a restless little soul, or rather, a fragment of a soul, inside this retro lady's crown.

"It seems that Voldemort never wore it on his head, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to continue making Horcruxes, let alone use these famous items to make them."

The Egyptians' efforts to break the curse were not in vain, but to extract the soul from this place while keeping the items intact, spells alone are not enough; potions are also needed.

After putting away the crown, Irving went to the dinner area. After confirming that there was no other similar item, he left and returned to the Great Hall for dinner.

After dinner, he returned to the secret chamber and held a two-hour tutoring session. After seeing off all the young wizards, he finally took out paper and pen and began to design a prescription.

Among the countless failed attempts to improve potions, there were some gains, including four types of poisons specifically targeting the soul!

But there is only one potion that only harms the soul without damaging objects: the Dementor, which Professor Snape jokingly called the "unforgivable potion."

As you can tell from the name, this is an incurable poison that Owen accidentally developed when he changed the Felix Felicis formula. Snape still can't figure out why the same ingredients, with just a change in the order of addition and the addition of a few common poisons, would become an incurable poison.

Fortunately, Irving was used to taking notes, otherwise he might not have been able to make a second batch. After his targeted research, he discovered that the essence of this Soul-Destroying Agent was just one thing: mold in table salt!

Yes, that's right, it's mold from table salt.

This is something that would be impossible in the Muggle world, yet it has been accomplished in the wizarding world. If word got out, the Muggle world would be in an uproar.

But in the world of magic—if there are rooster eggs, what's wrong with salt getting moldy?

The real Felix Felicis takes six months to mature. Even with countless improvements by Professors Owen and Snape, this time can only be shortened to two months. However, turning it into the "Unforgivable Potion" only takes three hours. Once the normal ingredients are initially fused together, adding salt mold will make it instantly.

It was already past midnight when the potion was finished, but Owen was still quite energetic. He first found an open space, then made a large jar out of transparent glass, carefully poured all the finished potion into it, and watched the potion radiating rainbow light. Then, he carefully dropped the crown into it.

"Gurgle gurgle————"

There was movement in the medicine; bubbles started to rise, as if someone inside was drowning.

It works!

Owen didn't approach, but instead kept his distance again. At the same time, he was on guard, holding a small wand in his left hand and a large wand in his right. If anything rushed out, he would use the Cruciatus Curse in his left hand and the Killing Curse in his right, plus the Fiendfyre spell, which had become second nature and could be used with a single thought.

Let alone the fact that it contains fragments of Voldemort's soul, even if Voldemort himself came, he would be in serious trouble!

The potion was surprisingly effective, eliminating the soul within the crown without even giving it a chance to scream. However, it must be said that Voldemort's soul was truly resilient; such a large pot of Soul-Destroying Potion was completely used up.

The seven-colored potion had turned completely transparent white and was turning red. Owen quickly pulled out the crown. If the potion turned red, the crown would be ruined. It was an acid five times more corrosive than aqua regia.

However, it's actually much easier to deal with; just set it on fire.

Looking at the newly refurbished crown floating in front of him, Irving had no intention of putting it on, but instead—

"Clear water like a spring."

The little magic wand transformed into a miniature high-pressure water gun, thoroughly cleaning the crown inside and out. It was then dried with a normal flame before being locked in a homemade safe.

Owen had no interest in Ravenclaw's wisdom, but he was very interested in dealing with the remnants of the souls inside. This was only the first physical experiment, and the results were indeed very good. Once he had enough experimental data, he would send the formula to Egypt to bring some good news to the staff there who were performing the unsealing.

To date, there has been no proof that the Soul Destroyer can counteract curses, because Owen does not possess any cursed items.

Of course, there's no need to rush. Data collection for this kind of experiment can be completed very quickly. The reason is still the same—

Wizards, of course, have no shortage of curses!
