Excessive charm wasn't all trouble for Basil.
The number of knights in the Echo Contract of "Dark Magician: Knight Commander" has now increased dramatically.
This includes members of the guild and everyone in the [Dream Kingdom].
Ariana's Phoenix Bloodline and Dark Magic Body were also learned by Basil.
Rosalie, setting aside her potentially developing "Pregnancy Gaze," and her sublimated mental state after becoming a vampire—stubbornness—also allowed Basil to sense the subtle boundary between wizards and Archmage.
Basil suspected that if he could gain Carlisle's mercy again, this boundary would likely be broken instantly.
However, what he desires most is Esme's "love," which Dumbledore considers the most powerful force. Basil is very curious about what kind of magic it possesses.
It's worth mentioning that Basil's roommates all had a gold rating in their affection for him.
They all became his knights.
Even Dean, who wasn't very familiar with the students in the next dorm, was the same.
However, for Basil, most of them were useless cards.
In other words, he learned Parseltongue from Harry, which upgraded his Spell Mastery to Spell Mastery.
Today was a good example of making use of waste.
Basil's brow relaxed.
In the woods, James was dismembered.
Six crisp splashes echoed in the Padias River.
However, each sound was spaced one mile apart.
"He's dead." Edward's constipated expression disappeared, and he opened his eyes.
James is actually not dead yet.
Dismemberment alone won't kill a vampire. The separated bodies must also be burned.
Otherwise, the brain would continue to live independently, and could survive for at least another year without food.
If the brain can be pieced together with other bodies before it completely loses its activity, it can be resurrected.
But James, whose body was torn apart and flowed into the sea along the Padias River, was no different from being dead.
To avoid upsetting Carlisle, he chose to state the final result directly.
"That's great!" Laurent remained obediently lying on the ground, clapping with difficulty with his hands behind his back.
Victoria breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Basil with affection.
Basil's right hand was raised in a gesture of surprise, and star-like gold dust appeared out of thin air and disappeared into his palm.
The knights were recalled.
"His sacrifice was worthwhile, even as trash." Basil casually pulled a glass bottle out of thin air.
Silver lines flowed down the surface of the glass bottle.
A transparent liquid appeared out of thin air from the bottom of the bottle.
"What is this?" Bellatrix asked curiously.
Basil capped the bottle, "The only two things of value that the hunter left in the world."
"As predators, vampires possess a multitude of natural weapons."
"It's like a natural arsenal—lots, lots, even more than necessary."
"Strength, speed, keen senses, not to mention some lucky ones will even develop additional abilities."
"And, as long as you weren't as ugly as James before becoming a vampire."
"Their appearance and physique will also be optimized, just like a carnivorous plant, making them very attractive to their prey."
"But of all weapons, poison is the most superfluous."
Alice gracefully stepped closer and placed her hand on Basil's shoulder (Victoria bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with jealousy). "Bucky is right. This Venom isn't deadly—it just renders you powerless."
"It works very slowly, circulating throughout the body via the bloodstream. Therefore, once bitten, our prey will feel excruciating pain all over its body and will be unable to escape from us."
"That's basically unnecessary, like I said."
"If we get that close, there's no way the prey can escape."
"Of course, there are exceptions. For example, Carlisle."
When he was called upon, Carlisle gripped Esme's hand tightly and said modestly, "The only thing I'm worth mentioning is my willpower."
"It can help me abstain from human blood, and it can also make me struggle to hide in a pile of potatoes."
Bellatrix exclaimed in amazement, her eyes gleaming with a strange light, "It's the thing that can turn people into vampires?"
"Yes, as long as the Venom is allowed to flow throughout the body." Basil put away the glass bottle. "It will take several days to complete the transformation, depending on how much Venom enters the bloodstream and how far the Venom is injected from the heart."
"As long as the heart is beating, the Venom will continue to flow, healing all wounds and altering the body's structure wherever it flows. Finally, when the heart stops beating, the transformation is complete. But throughout the entire process, every single second, the victim will wish they could die immediately."
"I've tested it, and the pain Superman endurance, but the Venom also helps maintain the stability of the organism."
"If I had to describe it, it would be like being tormented by the Cruciatus Curse without stopping."
A flicker of fear crossed Basil's eyes; he had once entered Neville's parents' dreams.
He finally understood why they had been driven mad by the torture.
I also understand why Alice would willingly give up her memories of being human in order to escape the pain.
He also collected his own vampire Venom and injected it into himself.
Although the Venom was quickly burned away by the ignited [Dragon's Blood].
But Basil clearly felt that pain.
It's truly amazing that two completely unrelated sensory experiences of pain, created by materials from different worlds, could be so similar.
"So, if you want to create a vampire, the best option is to bite the left side of the neck."
"Injecting more than a pint of Venom in one go."
"When the concentration of Venom in the blood reaches a certain level, it becomes a super-potent sleeping pill with no side effects."
"In this way, the victim will only feel a sudden darkness before their eyes, and when they open their eyes again, the transformation has already been completed."
Laurent, who was listening in, trembled all over.
In his mind, Basil had become a perverted doctor who experimented on vampires.
The Cruciatus Curse might be Basil's ability to control child vampires, destroying their will through pain and turning them into puppets.
Victoria, however, looked at Basil with even greater admiration.
"What are you going to do with it?" Sophie asked curiously.
Alice and the others also cast curious glances their way.
"Of course, it's not for creating vampires. It's too dangerous for Muggle in my world." Basil shrugged. "It has many uses: more potent calming potions, anesthetics, tonics, and, by adding Werewolf fluids, sage, elm bark, and grapefruit leaves, it can be brewed into an even more potent Wolfsbane Potion."
"Alright." Basil looked up at Laurent, who was still lying obediently on the ground. "The problem now is how to deal with the hunter's companion."
Laurent tensed up.
Basil chuckled, "You would have ended up like James."
"But your honesty saved your life."
Before Laurent could even rejoice, the Snap caused a black circle to appear around him, engulfing him.
With a thud, he fell onto the metal floor.
What appeared before his eyes was a prison with completely black walls and ceiling.
He was trapped in a small room.
Before he could observe further, he heard the voice of that perverted doctor, that devilish scientist.
"Carlisle, don't worry, I said I wouldn't take his life."
"You should know about the existence of the [Dream Kingdom] from Alice."
"But dreams can be divided into good dreams and nightmares."
"If the 'Dream Kingdom' is a collection of beautiful dreams, then the place Laurent is currently in is a prison formed by the aggregation of nightmares—the 'Abyss of Sin'."
"Considering that he was sensible, he was given a higher number in the prison."
Laurent glanced at his room number. The number was engraved in intaglio, and from the raised area on the back, it was clear his number was 3.
"Having the authority to sleepwalk, he may even be able to compete for the position of warden in the future."
Then, the room returned to the silence it had been when we arrived.
"Is anyone there?" Laurent shouted.
He tentatively shook the iron fence, which was as thick as an arm.
It was incredibly hard, and even a vampire's power couldn't budge it.
It seemed that there was no one else in the prison except him.
Only his echo reverberated in the empty prison.
But he wasn't too anxious.
The strange, wonderful feeling of fullness in his stomach made him feel a little drowsy.
Even though I haven't eaten anything, my stomach feels full.
Despite being a vampire, I felt sleepy.
He is not a fool.
Thinking of the devil Kepee, and the master's mention of sleepwalking privileges, it suggests that his current drowsiness is a sign that he is about to sleepwalk.
So he quickly lay down on the bed in the corner.
He fell into a sleep that had lasted for a century.
From within the olive-colored, lifeless body, a black owl emerged from the water with a splash.
Basil smiled upon noticing this.
This is what is known as sleepwalking privileges.
As Dream Owl, I work in place of Fanta to collect [Dream Fragment].
You can enjoy freedom in your dreams, without strict KPI assessments.
Therefore, prisoners without sleepwalking privileges can still transform into Dream Owl and work.
The prisons are tentatively numbered 1-100.
Players ranked 1-10 will have sleepwalking privileges. Earning points can be used to customize your room and exchange for items.
Points earned between 10 and 30 will be subject to KPI assessments. Points earned exceeding the assessment threshold can be used.
30-50, no points. The prisoner 'Dream Owl state and conscious state are two separate people.
In other words, from their own perspective, they felt like they were constantly imprisoned. This also incidentally provided Basil with emotional energy.
After age 50, in addition to the suffering already incurred, they will also endure extra torment.
The severity of the torment increases with each increasing number. The quality of the emotional energy provided to Basil is also higher.
But in order to provide quality emotional energy.
In other words, it gives prisoners hope.
Except for 1-10.
The subsequent numbering is not fixed.
The numbering will be changed according to the work situation.
But for now, Laurent is the only prisoner.
Victoria, of course, will not suffer the same fate as Laurent.
She became a member of the Cullen Family and took a drug to cure her blood addiction.
Bellatrix relayed everything in the group chat.
"Sweetheart must have her eye on that Victoria," Madison said in the Chat Group after hearing the news. "Amber Hill is indeed a beauty."
She recently divorced Depp and then started dating Elon Musk, the Founders of Tesla.
"Not to mention Victoria, who is even more beautiful than her, and who doesn't have the flaws of a human woman."
"But she wasn't given the Key of Illusory Dreams." Zoe was somewhat reluctant to accept it.
She loves reading and is somewhat of a literary enthusiast, so she calls the name "Dream Mark," which Basil randomly chose, "Key of Illusory Dreams."
Similarly, while she was engrossed in reading the book and immersing herself in the protagonist's role, she also felt some aversion towards Victoria, who was the antagonist.
She could accept Narcissa because, at the end of the novel, it was Narcissa who lied and said Harry wasn't dead, thus saving Harry's life.
"I don't care about any of that. As long as the prince's mistress is pretty, that's enough." Born into a feudal kingdom, Beatrix, the princess's daughter, was completely unconcerned with such things. She automatically assumed the role of the mistress of the house.
"I want to know how many criminals are imprisoned in the Abyss of Sin?"
"Is there Raphael?"
"Also, could you reserve a table for Sophie?"
"Her hopelessness really lowers the standard of the Dream Kingdom."
Sophie: "You're the one who's—[]0VRBT]]9? A/#Jc`7 (too vulgar, automatically censored)"
This time, the two of them wisely started chatting privately.
Ariana remained silent.
Basil has returned to Hogwarts.
Hermione stood with her hands on her hips, demanding, "Where have you been?"
Because of the existence of the community, the passage of time is equal in all worlds.
Three hours have passed.
Hermione, with her incredible speed, ran throughout the entire castle, the grounds, and even the Forbidden Forest.
So she was very angry.
Ariana was covering her mouth and chuckling to herself.
Hmph! Who told you to go to Bellatrix's place, and that Victoria too?
The little devil in her heart has already taken over, and is now happily waving its trident.
Phoebe leaned against Basil's shoulder, her tea-scented aroma wafting through the air. "Basil is very busy. He has many important things to attend to."
Hermione thought of Basil's elusive way of traveling between two countries, the international students who were watching him and the forces behind them, and the conspiracy surrounding the Philosopher's Stone.
Intelligent people always think more deeply, but only need a brief sentence.
Hermione's anger visibly transformed into heartache.
Are you alright?
Basil went downhill on the donkey, saying, "A bunch of vampires have their eyes on my friend."
"Are you alright?" Hermione instinctively mistook Bellatrix for him.
Basil shook his head, grasped Hermione's hand, his eyes gleaming, and said with lingering fear, "Luckily, I arrived in time."
So, in the following days...
Hermione began to actively target the international students, through Percy.
Percy was also wondering how to repay Basil.
Then, in the faculty lounge, a meeting quietly unfolded between Hermione, Percy, and their fellow students.
After discussion, they chose the mutual assistance model.
"Masashi Li Lin, come here!"
Several burly Slytherin students approached Masaru Kobayashi.
His Gryffindor study companions were 'angry but dared not speak out'.
"Sergei Ivanov, I heard you've been pretty cool lately."
Three tall, thin Ravenclaw cornered Ivanov in the empty room.
International students from different colleges were subjected to various pretexts by upperclassmen from other colleges, including being ambushed with sacks and subjected to strange remarks.
The students in the same college used various excuses to 'prevent' failure.
What's even more strange is that the professors, whether they saw it or were told about it, did not take it seriously.
Professors McGonagall, Sprout, Professor Flitwick, who were more concerned with saving face, chose to deduct points normally and then find some excuse to add them back in the class that day or the next day.
Snape, however, did not deduct points; he simply said to put his troublesome student in solitary confinement.
But that's all I'm saying.
