Basil's restless spirit finally began to calm down after he officially returned to live in England.

The rainy, humid climate of England made his body feel particularly relaxed.

Although he frequently visits Hermione in London, he also visits Michael in Los Angeles, California, in another world, and is invited by SGE Management School to hunt bears south of Mount Neil in the Twilight world.

Logically speaking, the Scottish Highlands and the northern part of the French Pyrenees, where Beauxbatons is located, both have a temperate maritime climate.

The temperature is balanced throughout the year, with neither severe cold nor scorching heat, and the weather is mostly sunny.

Especially in summer, the high-latitude Scotland region enjoys exceptionally long hours of sunshine.

Basil should not feel the damp, cold air and should not often see overcast days with dark clouds.

However, there are differences between temperate maritime climates.

It's like London, but that doesn't stop it from having humid air and being rainy and foggy.

Moreover, it is already August, and autumn is approaching.

Located in the Scottish Highlands, Hogwarts also has to take into account magical elements, such as the influence of the Forbidden Forest and the magical plants and animals that have thrived in the Black Lake for thousands of years.

Salazar Slytherin chose this location to build his castle because it was the coldest and dampest place in the Scottish Highlands, close to his native marshland and London, England.

More importantly, from a mystical perspective, the Black Lake here is filled with a vitality comparable to that of a vast ocean.

He quickly learned the oldest magic taught by Flume, the ancient magic that allowed one to draw upon the essence of water without incantations or gestures, all from the heart, thanks to this uniquely advantageous environment.

Wearing only swimming trunks, he transformed into a vampire and swam in the Black Lake.

In the sunlight, her snow-white skin Winky, as if millions of tiny diamonds were embedded on it.

What floats on the lake at this moment does not seem to be a human body, but a perfect statue carved from some unknown stone, smooth as marble and brilliant as Crystal.

However, he wasn't doing it for vanity, nor because of the infatuated looks from Phoebe and Ariana on the shore, nor because of Professor McGonagall's secret attention from the second-floor office.

After all, even if he weren't Winky, he would still be quite eye-catching.

The vampires in the Twilight world are quite peculiar; they can be satisfied with any kind of blood.

In cases where the composition of blood is not unusual, consisting only of plasma and blood cells.

However, the reality is that vampires cannot obtain energy from common foods such as meat, grains, and fruits, which are more varied and nutritious.

This strange ability can even transcend worlds; it can successfully digest the Dragon Blood from other worlds and the cursed blood of unicorns, gaining some Mana from them to optimize itself.

Just like Alice and Rosalie, who took the Dragon Blood, not only did their heartbeats temporarily return to normal, but their strength and physique were also temporarily enhanced.

Afterwards, their bodies also gained some resistance to fire and magic.

Basil also tested it on himself, and the existence of the [Dragon Blood of Red Dragon] prevented him from making any progress from the lower-level Dragon Blood.

However, the Unicorn Blood increased his health points by 1 point, bringing it to 16.

Today is also a test.

However, Basil did not expect that the essence of the water he absorbed would be regarded as blood by his current vampire body.

An inexhaustible flow of life force began to pour into his body.

The already negligible impurities within the clean body were washed away.

Along with his Mind Stone.

It was as if he had returned to the womb, growing and roaming in the amniotic fluid.

Originally named the Aguamenti, the spell for Clear Water Like Spring began to grow and develop its own special properties.

[Aguamenti]

[Level: 4]

[Mana Cost: 2]

[Continue casting, spraying a stream of water forward in a straight line]

[Note: Continuous casting is limited to wizard magic. Other extraordinary energies require replenishment after 3 seconds of continuous output.]

Damage: 0.3

[Characteristic: Source of Life (Gold)]

The water you create will contain pure life force. It can purify toxins and dispel curses to a certain extent. It replenishes the life force of player units whose physiological structure is at least 80% intact and whose health is not zero.

This is the data after the [Grimoire] was re-engraved following the 'photograph'.

Extremely concise.

Upgrading a level 1 spell to level 2 will grant new properties.

The same applies to 2 to 3, and 3 to 4.

However, in Basil's body, all the characteristics of the Aguamenti after its transformation were combined together, giving birth to the characteristic of "Source of Life".

The highest gold quality.

Even the most basic adjective, "purifying toxins and dispelling curses to some extent," can be overcome by continuously generating water flow.

The magic power of a wizard's spells is not consumed during the casting process.

Therefore, even the most vicious curses, exceeding a certain limit, can be driven away by the principle of quantitative change leading to fusion.

Furthermore, considering that as long as the physiological structure is 80% intact and the life value is not 0, life force can be replenished, this means that Basil possesses the best healing spell in the world.

It does not need to rely on the environment or absorb the essence of water.

It can be created by oneself, and can heal oneself or save others.

"It's truly amazing," Basil exclaimed.

Using his vampire ability to not need to breathe, he sank directly to the bottom of the water, becoming even more intimately connected with the water vapor.

In this state, he is equivalent to the Black Lake itself.

The Merpeople, Grindylow, fish, and Giant Squid in the lake all ignored him and instinctively kept their distance.

Basil's physical eyes were closed, but his consciousness began to look at other areas.

First, there's Malfoy Manor.

To prevent Lucius Malfoy's ghost from returning, I recently spent 10,000 gems to activate it using the [Expansion Module].

With the start of the school year approaching, Draco and Narcissa returned to the Malfoy Manor.

However, judging from Draco's expression, he was extremely unwilling.

"Mom, I don't understand!"

"Why would I go to Hogwarts? The magic it teaches is too weak, and it's such a burden to have a wand."

"Wizards are so weak. Unlike Finger Magic, which all intelligent life, including Muggle, can learn."

"The future belongs to the Fairy Tale Mage! We shouldn't leave it!"

"This is the Malfoy family's unparalleled and indispensable fast track!"

Draco's index fingertip glowed red as he waved it rudely, behaving very rebelliously.

Just like his current attire.

Even Harry, who has his image etched into his memory, would be astonished to see him.

Draco Malfoy's upper body was almost completely naked, covered only by a piece of black cloth.

She had a pierced left ear and wore a punk-style spiked metal earring.

He wore shiny leather pants and riding boots with platform insoles on his lower body.

Narcissa was exasperated by her son's behavior. "Haven't you heard that the headmaster of SGE is also a wizard from our world?"

"He also attended Hogwarts. It was his status as a wizard and the education he received at Hogwarts that enabled him to defeat Raphael, the embodiment of evil."

"To become the principal of SGE."

"Therefore, studying at Hogwarts is very necessary."

"Fine!" Draco impatiently, ruffling his hair.

"But I haven't learned the magic of tattooing yet!"

As he spoke, he pulled off the tattered cloth covering his body, revealing his thin, pale body with visible ribs and a dragon tattoo etched on it.

"This pattern was created using the blood of the most ferocious Hungarian Horntail as material."

"Sister Hester said it would be very powerful, more powerful than you can imagine."

"But--"

The green tattoo began to emit red light.

Yellow vertical pupils, bronze horns, and a spiked dragon head emerged from its body.

"This is all I can do for now."

"Just sticking its head out."

"Most,"

Boom!

A crimson, 10-foot-high column of fire shot into the sky.

"Breathe fire."

Xiao Long snorted in dissatisfaction.

Draco pressed it back into his body, turning it into a tattoo.

"But Mom, you know what my awakened ability in SGE is."

"Breath fire," a fireball appeared at his fingertip, "I can do it myself."

"If I were like you—"

His gaze fell on his mother's shadow.

Narcissa was somewhat discouraged. "What's so great about that? All I can do is hide in the shadows."

Draco was speechless. "This isn't impressive. Mom, you could easily hide inside and cast spells."

"If others can't hit you, but you can attack them, isn't that amazing?"

With that, the two pushed open the door and entered the living room.

Basil's gaze shifted again.

Inside 12 Grimmauld Place.

Sirius was unusually not holding his younger brother or putting him in his pocket.

He looked at Lupin with a serious expression. "Are you really sure?"

"Every professor does it. You don't need to pretend to be superior."

"You deserve it."

"The position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is cursed by Voldemort."

Lupin held the quill pen, hesitated for a long time, and finally signed his name on the parchment with the Hogwarts crest.

He waved his wand, and the parchment flew into the red envelope.

The red flames burned, and the letter turned into a wisp of gray smoke, disappearing into the air.

Then, he smiled and said, "The letter has been sent."

"I think it's best not to change the textbooks."

"It is indeed my right, but I believe that professors should be more pure in their principles and not just in their pursuit of money."

Seeing all this, Basil couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

Every professor at Hogwarts has the right to choose their own books as textbooks for their course.

Therefore, publishing companies often collaborate with professors, and even if the selected book is not written by the professor himself, they can receive a certain percentage of the revenue for each book sold.

Like Lockhart, who is shameless, he directly chose his own books, more than a dozen of them at once.

The publishing company also wants to double the original revenue share.

But Lupin refused this right.

Sirius is right. It's not immoral. After all, times are constantly changing, and it's normal for old textbooks to be outdated.

It's perfectly normal for professors to choose appropriate books within their own field of expertise.

This is the real reason why the position of Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts is cursed, yet people still want to apply for it.

But to everyone's surprise, Lupin refused.

In order to sever his desires, he even used a fire-tipped letter.

The red covers of these letters are dyed with Dragon Blood (Dragon Blood can also be red) and infused with magic.

Once ignited, the contents of the letter will turn into a wisp of smoke and fly to the recipient.

This cloud of smoke not only contains information, but also represents a contract.

The contents cannot be violated; otherwise, the moment a violation occurs, one will fall into a sudden slumber for three natural days.

Therefore, it is often used in the workplace.

The reason it wasn't widely adopted as a substitute for owls in mail delivery is...

This is because it actually relies on the Floo Network.

The letter itself is worthless. Although Dragon Blood is expensive, the amount of Dragon Blood needed to make a letter is not much.

The valuable part is the supporting equipment.

After registering on Floo Network, you can establish a link with it, which is crucial for the recipient to receive emails.

Only large factories, the Ministry of Magic, and institutions like Hogwarts can afford it.

"Outrageous. Next one." Basil shifted his gaze.

This time, we've arrived in another world.

Murder House.

"Many years ago, there was an emperor who spent all his money to dress beautifully."

As the blond youth flipped through the book, he read aloud in a voice that didn't match his age.

Suddenly, he raised his head, his light blue eyes flashing with joy, and looked towards the ceiling.

"Dad! You're here?"

Basil wasn't surprised that Michael noticed his gaze.

This is not just because of Michael's identity as the "Son of Satan".

In the case of not receiving malice for a long time.

The demon blood within him began to degenerate.

The red-skinned, horned devil began to reveal his true form—the form he took when he was still God's most beloved child.

As God's special child, I enjoy an intimate relationship with Him, gazing upon, loving, and praising Him in Heaven, and being loved by Him in return.

This was disrupted by the birth of humankind.

Jealousy began to creep into the hearts of the pure angels, who could not understand why the creatures created from the mortal world were more favored than they were.

It is closer to the image of God.

Then his handsome and perfect face began to peel away, revealing blood red.

The body, composed of substances as light as air, became murky and heavy.

Some of the snow-white feathers fell off, withered, and turned into bat wings. Others were stained with a darkness that could never be erased.

The darkness within transforms into a venomous snake, spewing Venom, bursting from the ground at its tailbone to form its tail.

This is the origin of the devils and demons in this world.

They are more evil than Fallen Angel and are the Holy Spirits who hate God's fall the most.

Therefore, the weakening of the Demon King's Blood did not make Michael weaker.

On the contrary, having returned to his original form and possessed the powers of a demon, he became even more powerful.

On the data panel, there was also a faint label that read "[Second-in-Command of Heaven]".

Her Chu Chu demeanor made people want to get closer to her even more.

This is why Basil couldn't help but soften and say such cheesy things.

"I am here." Basil's voice appeared out of nowhere.

He looked at Michael, who was becoming increasingly androgynous and was losing his masculine characteristics, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

When mentioning the "Second-in-Command of Heaven," one cannot help but think of the "Radiant Morning Star," the "Right Hand of God," the "Creator of All Things," and the "Greatest Angel Beside God."

In the Bible, she was originally the most beautiful and powerful woman by God's side, but she rebelled because she was dissatisfied with God's demand that she kneel before the Son of God, and eventually fell into the devil.

Even after his fall, none of the angels who followed him transformed into ugly forms; they retained the radiant wings of angels.

But in this world, Lucifer has truly fallen and become a devil.

The ridiculous son of Satan.

The Son of Dawn, named after light, has fallen to this state.
