Chapter 782: The Magic of Believing

A black cat opened its eyes from the bright mist.

The mist here was different from any mist all wizards had ever seen.

It wasn't that the surrounding scenery was shrouded in cloud-like steam, but that these cloud-like vapors hadn't formed the surrounding scenery yet. The ground the black cat stepped on seemed to be white, neither hot nor cold, just a kind of existence, a flat, empty thing.

It looked back, and a large, dilapidated Victorian-era building was standing there.

Around the large Victorian building, dilapidated streets gradually extended.

The streets were originally not long, only reaching near the black cat's feet; now, they had completely wrapped around the Victorian building, and vague shops had appeared.

The black cat gazed with curiosity for a while, then looked at its own furry chest.

There was a tuft of silver-white fur there, and a talisman with a blurred outline.

Apart from this, there was nothing else.

The black cat was visibly disappointed.

The Resurrection Stone hadn't been brought in; why was this?

If items couldn't be brought into the Boundary, why was the empty talisman still there?

If the Boundary allowed the transit of items, why couldn't the Resurrection Stone?

The black cat felt full of curiosity, and it knew that perhaps someone could answer its questions.

So it set off; as it ran with a vigorous posture, the small tuft of silver-white fur on its chest also grew larger, but this wasn't because there was more silver-white fur, but because the black cat had grown larger.

Time in the Boundary seemed to have been slowed down; it didn't know how long had passed.

Perhaps because the black cat had walked far enough, or perhaps because the black cat had stayed long enough.

It saw a few wooden houses; these wooden houses were different in appearance, but they all had one common feature, which was that they had a small door.

Sometimes it would be written on them: 【Waiting for Good Luck to Knock】, sometimes it would simply be written: 【For Good Luck Black Cat Only】.

Doubt rose in the head of the ink-dyed cloud-embroidered cat-leopard; what were these?

What were these houses?

What had it done to cause it to see more places where wizards gathered, although there were no wizards in these houses.

Even stranger, what did these words want to express?

Good Luck Black Cat, was it what it thought?

The ink-dyed cloud-embroidered cat-leopard shook its head and passed by here in doubt.

Another period of rushing.

It came to a small house.

One could see the chimney bubbling with cooking smoke, and the wooden wall was a front yard full of flowers.

The ink-dyed cloud-embroidered cat-leopard disappeared, and a black cat naturally stepped into the front yard and naturally passed by several special items placed in front of the courtyard.

—A rusty sword, some colorful plants, an exquisite scepter.

The black cat walked into the garden, and copper-bottomed flower pots hung on some upright pumpkin vines.

Curving ferns and vines hung in the flower pots; when the black cat walked under them, they tried to groom the black cat's fur again.

Looking and looking, the black cat came to the wooden door; it raised its paw and knocked on the door, ignoring the small door below and the "Black Cat Only" slogan.

It was a wizard, not a real cat.

The door opened with a "creak," and facing it was a pine tree hung with colored lights; under the lights was a furry orange carpet, on which were placed round stools and a black cat plush toy.

"Green, so glad to see you."

Helena said with surprise.

The black cat jumped onto the round stool, and a teapot floated over, pouring steaming sherry juice into the round cup in front of the black cat.

The black cat's whiskers were blurred by the steam, and its ears moved.

Lady Helena was more energetic; if it were before, she wouldn't have said such things.

"You found us again; it seems we were pulled by silk threads again."

Ravenclaw was playing a special kind of chess with Helena; Sean recognized at a glance that it was Wizard's Chess.

Wizard's Chess, how did it get here?

"You lost; Ravenclaw's wisdom doesn't always seem to work."

Helena was laughing triumphantly, because Luo Yina's knight had knocked away her king, and the king screamed and fell to the ground, headless.

"What a failed king, even wanting to kill his own knight..."

Luo Yina sighed,

"I'm more curious, who made such Wizard's Chess? Letting wizards engage in a gamble that relies entirely on luck?"

"Who knows?"

Helena peeked at the black cat, waved her arm lightly, and tidied up the chess pieces.

"Victory is so difficult because good luck is on your side, dear Helena."

Luo Yina said with a smile,

"Then my student, dear Mr. Good Luck Black Cat, what question is there that cannot be answered even in memory?"

And the black cat had jumped around the chessboard; it was certain, this was Wizard's Chess.

"It seems you are very confused; this chess game was brought by Helena."

Luo Yina Ravenclaw said.

"Teacher Ravenclaw, can items travel freely in the Boundary?"

The black cat asked.

"They cannot."

Luo Yina said.

"Then..."

The black cat's tail stopped wagging.

"Look at your empty talisman; is it really an empty talisman?"

Luo Yina smiled teasingly.

The black cat hurried to look at its soul Hallow.

"Isn't it shaped like a kitten?"

Luo Yina's smile became even brighter.

The black cat rubbed its eyes with its paws, surprised to find that the empty talisman had really changed shape.

"You trust her too much!"

Helena interrupted Luo Yina, and at the same time, the empty talisman returned to being a stone slab.

"This is not funny."

The black cat seemed to understand something, curled up, and looked at its empty talisman.

"She likes to tease people... isn't it annoying..."

Helena sat beside the black cat,

"Green, let me tell you, if you firmly believe an item exists, it will be brought to the Boundary."

The black cat's ears moved.

"So, if you waver, the Boundary will confiscate your magic."

Helena explained slowly.

"I understand, Helena."

The black cat's guess was confirmed.

He couldn't help but think of the rare description of the Boundary in the original work:

"Harry hoped he was wearing clothes. This thought had just formed in his mind when a robe appeared not far away. He took it and put it on: the robe was soft, clean, and warm. How strange, it just appeared like that, he just had that thought..."

What a wonderful place.

Perhaps it was also the most magical place.

The wisdom and emotions of wizards flowed naturally here, turning into colorful mist clusters;

The magic of wizards was completely converted into the power of belief; when wizards believed in themselves and their faith was firm, magic was born from it.

"How should I believe?"

The black cat discovered the final problem. ===== CHAPTER 783 =====
