Chapter 191

Allen felt that the Basilisk was most likely a high-tier magical creature, so it should be able to see the ancient runic parameters when a spell was cast.

The remaining question was how to extract the ancient runic parameters the Basilisk had seen.

This was not difficult; the Basilisk now dared not resist him at all. Since he could modify the Basilisk's memories, he also had a way to extract the memory of the ancient runics it had seen from its brain, allowing him to obtain the ancient runic parameters generated during his innate transformation.

Thinking of this, Allen felt that fate seemed to work in mysterious ways; had he not bypassed the Basilisk, he would now be worrying about finding a high-tier magical creature.

Moreover, the Basilisk was a relatively suitable choice, because most high-tier magical creatures possessed their own pride, and this pride would make them refuse to cooperate with Allen's extraction of their memories. Furthermore, the experience of having memories extracted was not pleasant, so they would resist such an act even more. If they did not cooperate, the difficulty for Allen to extract their memories would increase greatly.

Without the Basilisk, he would have to raise a high-tier magical creature from scratch, because adult magical creatures were very difficult to tame.

Leaving aside the issue of money, he would need to cultivate a good bond with it during the raising process, and even consider continuously modifying its memories to make it more obedient; the whole process would take at least several years.

The Basilisk was different; it had almost been killed by Allen. After walking through the gates of death, it cherished life even more, and its obedience to Allen was now very high, so extracting its memories was relatively easy for him.

However, being observed by the Basilisk was a very dangerous matter, because Allen needed to enter a state of deep sleep to perform his innate transformation, and in this state, he had no ability to resist.

If the Basilisk had even a shred of malice, he would become the Basilisk's little snack.

Even if the Basilisk remained obedient to him and dared not harbor any malice, a person's mind is not very clear when waking from a deep sleep. If he happened to lock eyes with the Basilisk upon waking, he would likely be dead for sure.

So although the Basilisk was a suitable choice, being observed by it was still too dangerous.

After much thought, Allen still could not make up his mind. In the end, he decided to put this matter aside for now and first strengthen the Basilisk's obedience to him.

However, the logic of this idea was sound on a large scale. If this idea could be realized, his power would see a massive increase.

First, if his innate transformation was an act of casting a spell, then this act of casting must have a corresponding spell. If he could learn this spell by analyzing the ancient runics of his innate transformation, it would mean he could bestow the power of his innate transformation upon others.

If this happened, he would become the strongest support in the world.

Imagine a wizard fighting a Death Eater, and Allen cast a few spells to transform him, granting him dragon scales to enhance defense, dragon wings to increase mobility, and a pair of fire dragon glands for breathing fire to increase lethality. At that moment, I ask you, what would be the area of the Death Eater's psychological shadow?

However, since Allen himself found performing his innate transformation so arduous with so many restrictions, researching this magic and being able to use it on others would certainly be very difficult.

But even if he could not bestow it upon others, he could still obtain the ancient runic parameters for transforming specific organs.

He could replace these ancient runic parameters onto the corresponding parts of his transformed beast, just as he had equipped his transformed beast with mithril armor, bones, and spikes.

He could design a transformed beast possessing various magical creature organs.

This gave his transformed beast infinite possibilities.

For instance, if Allen could replace the Blade Leopard's fur with that of an Invisibility Beast, the Blade Leopard would gain the ability to turn invisible, greatly compensating for its weaknesses.

It could easily approach wizards who were not very vigilant,

launch a fatal surprise attack. In such a situation, few wizards could react in time, and even if they did, it would be too late to cast a spell, allowing the spell-breaking ability of the mithril to be maximized.

He could even design a transformed beast covered in dragon scales to act as a tank in the front, drawing fire and creating opportunities for the Blade Leopard's surprise attacks.

He could even add fire dragon breathing glands to the Blade Leopard; if it hid and lurked near the enemy and suddenly unleashed a breath, it could instantly melt an ordinary wizard.

Allen's imagination grew increasingly wild.

He even thought about designing a transformed beast whose belly was entirely filled with fire dragon breathing glands, like the big shots in his past life whose bellies were full of liver, and then adding the fur of an Invisibility Beast, turning it into an invisible, mobile self-destructing bomb...

In short, this idea brought Allen many whimsical thoughts. Although there were still various problems in putting this idea into practice, he believed he would eventually overcome these problems one by one. Allen was very optimistic about this direction of his research.

Time passed quickly; in the blink of an eye, May was almost over. All the professors had finished their courses and entered the review stage, with one exception: Defense Against the Dark Arts.

This was also a subject that worried Allen greatly. He felt his first failure at Hogwarts was imminent because he was unwilling to pay attention to Lockhart's personal preferences, yet the small quizzes Lockhart organized all tested exactly these things. This made Allen extremely disgusted, yet he had no way to change it.

It was another Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Today, Lockhart wore a very pale lavender robe. His shimmering hair was well-groomed, and he carried a very strong scent of perfume.

Lockhart had been reading his own works in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and after a year, he still had not finished reading them.

In this class, Lockhart was reading a passage from his book about vampires.

Allen and Harry, as his designated actors in class, once again had the honor of playing the role of vampires, only to be tortured by him.

The class passed in such torment. When the dismissal bell rang, Allen felt he was finally liberated, but Lockhart did not leave as he had before.

He looked at the whole class and said with emotion, "Ah! A year has passed like this, it was truly too fast!"

Allen and Harry stood behind him, not understanding what medicine he was selling.

"I like Hogwarts very much, so I have made a difficult decision." Lockhart revealed his signature smile, looking at the whole class.

"Although my contract is only for one year, I have decided to apply to Headmaster Dumbledore to continue teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts for another year, and my application has already been submitted." Lockhart did not intend to keep them in suspense.
