Chapter 247: Yodel's Teaching

The seven Patronuses sent to Yodel for "advanced studies" did not include Alan's original jellyfish Patronus, because Harry and Professor Lupin already knew his Patronus was a jellyfish.

After finishing all this, Alan began to research how to make a Patronus control a Transformed Beast; although his Patronus's intelligence was still quite weak now, it was better than nothing.

He always felt that having a Patronus control a Blade Leopard would be easier than controlling a car.

He quickly summoned a Blade Leopard, then told his jellyfish Patronus to control this Blade Leopard.

The jellyfish Patronus floated aimlessly in the air; it seemed very difficult for it to understand the word "control."

This left Alan feeling helpless; the jellyfish Patronus's intelligence was still too low.

It seemed he could only make the Blade Leopard take the initiative; he controlled the Blade Leopard to approach the jellyfish, attempting to merge with it, but he soon found this was futile.

The jellyfish Patronus and the Blade Leopard passed through each other back and forth; neither could touch the other.

"I think you should consult an expert in this field." A shadow suddenly appeared beside Alan; it was Yodel, who had rarely come out of the diary.

"Why did you come out? Shouldn't you be hurrying to cultivate the intelligence of those Patronuses?" Alan asked in confusion.

"I am not like you humans, limited to single-core thinking; I can think and do several things at once," Yodel said, raising his eyebrows.

"I just can't bear to watch someone act foolishly here," Yodel suddenly turned sharp-tongued.

"You—" Alan felt a bit unsettled, but he quickly reacted, "How am I acting foolishly?"

"How could such low-level intelligence possibly understand such abstract words?" Yodel said with a cold sneer.

"Then what do you think I should do?" Alan keenly sensed that Yodel had a solution to this problem.

"Then why should I tell you?" Yodel suddenly looked at Alan with a playful expression.

"Then what are your conditions?" Alan said helplessly; he only hoped Yodel's conditions wouldn't be too outrageous.

Yodel carefully observed Alan's expression and said, "Very simple; you originally said you would create a Transformed Beast tailored for me; now you must speed up the progress."

"Consider it my reward for cultivating so many high-intelligence Patronuses for you," Yodel added.

"Isn't the Blade Leopard quite good? Don't you often control the Blade Leopard to relax?" Alan muttered.

"What's so good about the Blade Leopard? Which of the various organs from those strange magical creatures you've been testing recently isn't superior to the Blade Leopard?" Yodel retorted aggressively.

Alan was left somewhat speechless by Yodel's words, but this matter wasn't hard to achieve; "Those experiments aren't finished yet; once the experiments mature, I will design one for you."

Yodel received Alan's somewhat perfunctory promise, but that was enough for him; he was quite sensible.

Thus, a wisp of silvery-white memory separated from Yodel's body and floated toward the jellyfish Patronus; the jellyfish Patronus quickly swallowed this wisp of memory.

"What kind of memory is this?" Alan asked in confusion.

"When it comes to controlling various creatures, I am an expert," Yodel emphasized. "That is a memory of how I control other people and creatures. I feel that Patronuses and I are quite similar in some aspects, so my memories will be helpful to it."

After swallowing that wisp of memory, the jellyfish Patronus suddenly lunged at the dazed Blade Leopard; it didn't know what it did, but it quickly lost its jellyfish shape and merged with the Blade Leopard.

The Blade Leopard began making various strange movements; it seemed to want to rotate its paws 180 degrees; it kept scratching the ground, kept sniffing the air, and kept licking its mouth with its tongue, as if adapting to new sensory organs.

Alan held his breath watching this scene, afraid of disturbing them; he knew the jellyfish Patronus was adapting to this unfamiliar body.

He could see the Blade Leopard's gaze beginning to become lively, although it still looked dazed,

it was much better than its previous lifeless appearance; Alan felt it had gained a lot of vitality.

After a period of adaptation, the jellyfish Patronus became familiar with this body; although it still stumbled frequently while walking, it had already begun to curiously explore this underground space.

It curiously used its sharp claws to constantly scratch the gravel on the ground; it now felt curious about everything.

"It seems you succeeded again this time!" Yodel said softly. "Sometimes I truly envy you for having such whimsical ideas!"

Alan turned his head to say something to Yodel, but a huge roar suddenly came from the tunnel.

He turned to look and realized it was the Blade Leopard; it had just used its claws to scratch a loose stone, causing a chain reaction; the collapsed section of the tunnel suffered another small collapse, and the falling gravel buried the Blade Leopard completely...

Alan and Yodel looked at each other in silence.

However, in Alan's perception, the connections between the Blade Leopard and the Patronus and himself were both severed; it seemed the Patronus possessing the Blade Leopard could also suffer physical damage.

But Alan thought of something; he quickly used the jellyfish Patronus's "number" to summon it again; the jellyfish Patronus floated dejectedly in mid-air; it seemed it hadn't yet recovered from the recent ordeal.

Alan saw the benefits of using a Patronus to control a Transformed Beast; it seemed that after suffering severe damage, a Patronus would only dissipate and not truly die, and its memories and intelligence would not be lost; this meant that all the cultivation of the Patronus would not be wasted; even if the controlled Transformed Beast died, the Patronus could still be summoned back for reuse.

This was good news!

Time had reached April; the weather had become warm; the area around Hogwarts had become vibrant again; Alan's research was still progressing steadily; the Ministry of Magic had captured many large black dogs, but none were Sirius Black; the Ministry's dog-catching campaign drew criticism from various newspapers; people used all sorts of words to mock and ridicule the Neng De Mo Fa; Minister Fudge felt his face was utterly shamed; he began to suspect the news that Black was an Animagus was false, that Professor Dumbledore had deliberately set a trap for him to embarrass him; he quickly cancelled the dog-catching campaign, and even tore down many notices regarding the large black dogs.

The Ministry of Magic, having failed to capture Sirius Black for so long, appeared increasingly incompetent in the eyes of the people; the Dementors' deployment at Hogwarts caused much dissatisfaction among parents; Minister Fudge urgently needed a major news story favorable to him to turn the wizards' opinion of him around...
