Chapter 42: Sorry, I don't want to be human

A few days later, Selica found Murphy excitedly. "I've already tested it, the spell is real, it can be used! Use it on me and try."

"On you?"

"Yes, yes, rest assured, for the caster, it can be lifted at any time, and I can also use the counter-curse to break it myself."

Although that's what she said, looking at your excited little eyes.

You are really a masochist, aren't you?

"How exactly to use it?"

"I say an oath, and then you chant the spell. What kind of oath do you want me to say?"

Murphy originally thought of using an oath similar to "always keep secrets," but when the words reached his lips, they changed to: "Swear never to disobey Murphy's orders."

Selica blinked her eyes, her face quickly flushed, but Murphy's old face was calm, as if this was really just a normal oath. "What's wrong?"

"Okay, okay..."

"I, I swear, never, cough cough, never disobey Murphy's orders."

"Spinasvotum!"

Murphy immediately used the spell. A stream of magic power sprayed out from his wand like an arrow, shooting into Selica's chest, and locked it as if it were an anchor.

Murphy felt that he had a certain degree of control over the person in front of him.

He immediately realized that Voldemort's explanation of the spell's effect was incomplete. In fact, it was not just that the other party would be punished for violating the oath, but that as long as he was willing, he could impose punishment on the other party.

What kind of abusive spell is this!

Too perverted!

However, I like it!

"Now let's test the effect of the spell," Murphy said. "The first order, you are not allowed to use the counter-curse on yourself or use other methods to lift the Thorn Oath."

Selica: "Hmm? Hmm?!!"

Selica was shocked. Can you still play like this?

In an instant, Selica was very terrified.

Was I cheated?

If he does something to me, what should I do?

"You try, see if you can use the counter-curse on yourself?"

Selica took out her wand, aimed at herself, and prepared to use Finite Incantatem. "Finite... ah!"

Before a spell was finished, Selica felt a sharp pain coming from her chest, as if countless thorn vines were tightening in her internal organs, which immediately made her lose all her strength, slumped to the ground, and even her wand fell to the ground.

"Pain, so painful..."

Murphy was also a bit surprised. Is the spell effect so good?

And, it can really bypass its flaws in this way.

Clearly, he only activated the spell for the oath of "not disobeying Murphy's orders" and did not use the spell for "cannot use the counter-curse to lift one's own oath," but because the latter belongs to the category of the former's "orders," it automatically took effect!

Although this spell can still only control those who make oaths and cannot prevent other wizards from breaking the curse for them, Murphy saw a possibility similar to a "stack."

He suddenly had a brain hole.

What if he ordered Selica to obey another person's orders?

Would the second person's orders also automatically become Thorn Oaths and take effect?

What if the second person's orders conflicted with his own?

Or, let Selica obey her own orders? Can she lift the Thorn Oath?

However, these are just thoughts. At this moment, using Selica for experiments is a bit too inhumane. If the order conflict directly leads to the death of the subject, wouldn't Alex have to fight with himself?

Wait until the spell research institute is established in the future, and have a chance to try again.

Murphy waved his wand and withdrew the strange magic power that connected him and Selica.

At this moment, he realized that this kind of control is not without cost to the controller. The caster needs to divide a part of his own magic power to maintain the control channel.

And with his current magic power, perhaps he cannot control too many people.

"This spell, so terrible!" Selica felt the dissipation of the strange magic power that entangled her, and was still terrified, and looked at Murphy angrily. "You are too hateful!"

"How is it, are you injured?"

"No, it's just that my chest hurts." Selica pressed her majestic pectoralis major, very aggrieved. "I almost thought I was going to die just now."

"This spell is indeed very dangerous, you must remember to keep it secret, don't let others know."

"I know, of course, do I need you to tell me!"

"Hmm?" Murphy glared at her. "What tone?"

"Oh, I, I know."

Changing her words obediently, Selica secretly glanced at Murphy again and found that he didn't seem to be angry, so she asked: "Murphy, do you want to be the king of Muggles?"

King?

What era is it, still king.

"Do I look that boring?"

"But, using this kind of spell on Muggles is a violation of the Muggle Protection Act, you know?" Selica reminded.

"Muggle Protection Act, huh," Murphy's face was a bit strange. "Selica, do you think Muggles are powerful or wizards are powerful?"

"Wizards are powerful?" Selica answered.

After all, wizards know many spells, but Muggles cannot use magic.

"Since that's the case, why is there a Statute of Secrecy, why are we hiding?"

"Then Muggles are powerful?"

"Since that's the case, why engage in any "Muggle Protection Act"? You can't even beat them, and you still protect them. This is like endangered wild tigers thinking they are very dangerous, so they legislate to protect humans. Isn't this funny?"

"However, however..." Selica instinctively felt that Murphy was wrong, but couldn't find his logical loophole for a while.

"Selica, wizards are the population that needs to be protected. Compared to Muggles, wizards are the weak. Don't forget this point. If you think you are more powerful than humans because you have fangs and claws, then being skinned and boned is only a matter of time."

"But don't you want to use this spell to rule Muggles?"

"Why rule? A weakling, at least a weakling now, how can he rule a strong group? This spell is just a small means to avoid some unnecessary trouble, just to let us not have to face the pressure from the wizarding or Muggle society too early."

"So, you still want to use this spell on Muggles, right?"

"Right."

"This is not good, I thought you were a good person..."

I also want to be a good person, but if being a good person means suffering, then sorry, I don't want to be human.

"Just think about it this way, using this spell on Muggles, maybe they will suffer a little loss, but I will be protected. If I don't use it, then they are very safe, and I will face danger. Choose one of two, who do you choose?"

"..." Selica was silent for a while. "Isn't there a way for everyone not to be hurt?"

"Yes, as long as they can voluntarily keep secrets, it's fine. So, I want Herr's Seed of Soul, but whether it can be found depends on you."

Selica didn't realize at all that she was being pua'd. She felt that she had a great responsibility. "I will definitely find that spell!"

However, after Murphy, Selica's boiling head cooled down a little.

Uh, it seems there is something wrong.

Herr's Seed of Soul, seems to be a Black Magic even more terrible than the Thorn Oath?!

Why do I believe what Murphy says so easily!

He is clearly lying, right?
