Drank Fake Felix Felicis

Late at night, Aaron sat alone by the window, playing with his Wand.

A ray of moonlight shone through the window onto his face, making his already complicated feelings even more complicated.

"We're leaving tomorrow. What's meant to happen will happen." Aaron thought wistfully, then lay on the bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

In fact, the risks he took were not that great. Although his talent may not be as good as some of his predecessors, he had a system, so in a sense he was not alone.

Secondly, he was somewhat confident in himself, because his true strength was that of a mid-level Archmage, which was not a low starting point.

Finally, and most reassuringly, he had a bottle of Resurrection Potion.

Even if someone is incredibly unlucky and dies in another realm, they still have a chance to rise again. If they're lucky, they might even be able to find a loophole in the clan rules.

Thinking of this, Aaron felt a little relieved and slowly closed his eyes.

The alarm clock rang on time the next morning.

After getting up, Aaron quickly washed up and changed into a neat outfit.

After going downstairs, Vico and Lisana were waiting for him there.

"Don't be so serious. Your son is going on a trip, not to fight a war."

"If it's war, that would be good. We can help you with war. But you might be going to a completely unfamiliar world."

"Mr. Vico, have some faith in me."

"I'm at least the most successful of the three Gaius generations."

"Yes, yes, my son will definitely come back safe and sound." Lisana gave Aaron an encouraging look and then invited him to come and eat.

The family of three sat around the dining table, enjoying their breakfast in a warm and cozy atmosphere. Vico and Lisana didn't say anything unnecessary, afraid of putting any pressure on their son.

Abei was also much more restrained than usual; it was quite intelligent and didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.

After breakfast, Aaron stood up quite consciously. "It's almost time, let's go!"

"Perhaps we should wait a little longer," Lisana said hesitantly. "Your father might remember some things to keep in mind."

"Forget it! He has no experience with that."

"And what I need to know, my ancestors have already told me." Aaron stretched and walked towards the Secret Chamber. "You can all just wait for me to return."

Vico nodded to his wife, took her arm, and followed Aaron behind.

As the door to the Secret Chamber opened, the group returned to the Giant Tree.

"What should I do?" Aaron asked.

"No rush." Vico took out a money bag. "This is your travel expenses, ten gold coins. That's all I can give you."

"And this too." Lisana draped a cloak over Aaron. "You're going into an unknown environment; its value may not be less than that of gold coins."

Abei also pulled a package from his pocket, "Compressed rations."

"You guys..." Aaron was touched, but his eyes twitched involuntarily. "I suddenly have the illusion that I'm going to war."

"To accomplish great things, one must know how to plan ahead," Vico said earnestly. "It's always good to be prepared."

"Okay! So how do I get there?"

"Wait a moment, the most important thing hasn't been retrieved yet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the Secret Chamber opened again, and Jeans walked in carrying a 100ml glass bottle. "Young Master, Felix Felicis."

"Take a bite before you leave; safety is absolutely guaranteed."

"That's very thoughtful."

Aaron was very satisfied with the arrangement and took the Felix Felicis, downing it in one gulp.

Luck is also a part of strength, and to some extent, Felix Felicis can avoid the embarrassment of a famous 'fallen box'.

"The taste seems a little different," Aaron clicked his tongue. "Now it's always foolproof, right?"

Vico nodded, then pulled Aaron to the Giant Tree. "The way to open the portal is Gaius's blood."

"Blood?" Aaron frowned, took out his Wand, and was about to slash his left hand.

Vico immediately stopped him, "You don't need that much, one drop is enough."

Aaron paused, then tapped his Wand on the index finger of his left hand. A drop of bright red blood flowed out and automatically drifted towards the roots of the Giant Tree.

In an instant, the Giant Tree began to sway, and all its leaves burst forth with dazzling light, illuminating the entire space.

Meanwhile, the history books were turning rapidly, and the name of Aaron Gaius appeared on a blank page.

Creak!

A colorful door appeared before the Giant Tree, with the following words on the frame: Born to shine.

"That assessment... is spot on, absolutely apt," Aaron exclaimed, then turned and gave his the Mother a big hug. "I love you, the Mother."

"You must come back safely," Lisana said, her voice choked with emotion.

"Don't worry." Aaron patted Abei's head, then looked at Jeans, "Take good care of it when I'm not around, don't let it get too thin from hunger."

"Yes, young master."

"What about me?" Vico pointed to himself with a touch of sadness. "Aren't you going to say anything to your beloved father?"

"Hmm..." Aaron was silent for a moment, "Mr. Vico, please hold back your tears. We're family, after all. Don't act like a woman."

Vico:...

Aaron took a deep breath in front of the portal and walked in with a carefree air.

Seeing this, Abei instantly increased his speed to the maximum, turning into a white shadow and chasing after him.

However, it passed straight through the portal and crashed into the Giant Tree at an extremely high speed.

Vico and the other two closed their eyes in unison, unable to bear to look.

They weren't worried about the tree suffering any damage; the medium connecting countless worlds was exceptionally indestructible, and it wouldn't be greatly affected even if the universe were to collapse.

Fortunately, Abei was a dragon, otherwise that action would have been tantamount to suicide.

Lisana looked at Abei, who was clutching its head and had tears in its eyes, and gently wiped away its tears with heartache. "It must hurt a lot!"

Abei nodded sadly. What made it even more heartbroken was that the portal was gone, and it had no way to catch up with the people it wanted to chase.

"Don't do that again. The World Tree was created by the first generation of ancestors to connect the dimensional universe. It has no offensive capabilities, but its defensive capabilities have almost no upper limit."

"Besides, only members of the Gaius Family can pass through that gate, and even then, only those who meet certain conditions can go. Otherwise, we would have gone with them," Lisana patiently explained. "But don't worry, it's just the first time. Maybe next time you can go with him."

Abei's eyes lit up instantly, as if the pain in his head had disappeared.

"I hope everything goes well!" Vico looked at the names disappearing from the history books with a complicated expression. "If all goes well, he may be back in a few days."

Ah! Ah! Ah!

Aaron let out a piercing scream as he was now in freefall.

Who knows, he clearly walked through the portal, but when he opened his eyes he saw white clouds and then fell uncontrollably downwards.

He strongly suspected he had drunk fake medicine; it definitely wasn't some kind of Felix Felicis, otherwise he should be in a comfortable house right now, being warmly entertained by a kind man, and... without being charged.

As the green color became clearer, Aaron realized he was about to crash into the ground. In a panic, he drew his Wand, but before he could cast a Wand was blown away by a gust of wind.

Aaron cursed and immediately stretched out his right hand, drawing a green Magic Array in mid-air to slow his descent with the help of the wind.

He then pointed his finger directly downwards, preparing to unleash a spell that could soften the ground.

The magic was successfully cast, but unfortunately, he landed in a pool of water, rendering the softening magic ineffective. It only caused ripples on the surface of the water, moistening the surrounding grass.

"Have to!

This is terrible.

Thump!

Aaron sank more than ten meters into the pool before he could barely open his eyes. He instinctively wanted to use Water-Repelling Charm, but the next moment, Flor reminded him that he should not use magic unless absolutely necessary.

Aaron gritted his teeth in grief and indignation, and struggled to swim upstream.

Fortunately, he had received professional training, so the small pond was no different from a swimming pool, and he surfaced in no time.

Meanwhile, in the original world, Hogwarts...

Under the cover of the Disillusionment Charm Spell, the clone of the Thought Form, who was strolling by the Black Lake, suddenly felt a tremendous pulling force. The power within his body rapidly drained away, and at this rate, he would disappear in just a few minutes.

"It's out! This isn't the normal procedure for retracting it!" The Thought Form frowned. Without the Great Joy, it wouldn't actively contact its main body, but it was still clear whether its main body was safe.

However, the current situation left him completely bewildered. He sensed that the main body was safe and sound and had no intention of taking back his clone, but he was uncontrollably returning to the main body.

Besides, he tried to communicate with his original self, but received no response whatsoever, just as if he didn't exist in this world.

"What exactly happened?"

Could it be that our ancestors have pulled some kind of trick again?

Thinking of this only possibility, the Thought Form felt a little relieved, but the main body died before it could.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind him, making him instinctively shudder and his heart leap into his throat.

"Mr. Gaius, now doesn't seem like the time to return to school!" Dumbledore said with a smile.

"Uh... Principal, I..."

The Thought Form dispelled the Disillusionment Charm and looked at the kind-faced Dumbledore. His mind raced; he had to come up with a reasonable explanation in the shortest amount of time, because he was about to disappear.

"Don't rush, speak slowly."

How could I not be anxious?

Thought Form composed himself and began to spout nonsense with a straight face, "Sir, I just need to go to my dormitory to get something, I'll be right there."

I don't think such a minor matter warrants reporting to you!

"It's really unnecessary, but Aaron, if you just need to retrieve something, you can simply use an owl to send a letter."

Severus shouldn't mind doing you this small favor.

"Uh... you know Professor Snape Snape's temper, I don't want to get yelled at by him after school starts." The Thought Form chuckled awkwardly. "Headmaster, I'm in a hurry, the Butler is waiting for me outside the school."

"Beat it!"

However, you should give them a heads-up next time you're returning to Hogwarts.

The Thought Form nodded and quickly walked towards the castle.

After turning around a wall, the Thought Form watched as the body began to dissolve into nothingness, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "He probably didn't realize I was a clone."

Unbeknownst to him, a smile appeared on Dumbledore's lips. "You're Magus now? Your growth rate is almost as fast as mine when you were young."

As soon as Aaron climbed ashore, he felt a little dizzy.

He sensed the feedback from the Thought Form, withdrew half of its power, and also the clone's proficiency with the Magic Array during this time.

However, he did not feel joy; on the contrary, he felt somewhat depressed.

He didn't intend to retract his Thought Form so quickly. Although more strength meant more security, the operation of the Thought Form was also crucial. The later he retracted it, the greater his chances of dealing with crises.

However, he now feels like he's given up halfway. Although he can instantly cast intermediate Magic Array based on his experience with the Thought Form, it's still quite far off for him to be able to draw two Magic Array at the same time.

It's estimated that the two worlds are too far apart, so the Thought Form had to return.

But can anyone tell him what happened to Dumbledore when he finally appeared?

The Thought Form overheard Dumbledore Hagrid was going to a meeting at the Ministry of Magic and went for a walk, but it was only gone for a short time. It returned in less than two hours and blocked the Thought Form's way.

Fortunately, Dumbledore didn't see through his Thought Form, otherwise his mentality would have collapsed.

"Fake medicine, absolutely fake medicine! Jeans must have given me the wrong Felix Felicis, otherwise I wouldn't be so unlucky," Aaron said indignantly. "If I could get back safely, I would definitely give him a good slap."

A gentle breeze blew by.

Soaked to the bone, Aaron couldn't help but shiver, but remembering Flor's warning, he didn't use magic to dry his clothes.

That is to say, his physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people, otherwise he would have caught a cold as soon as he landed.

"Oh right, the Wand, I have Wand."

Aaron's expression changed slightly when he realized his Wand was missing, and he immediately began searching for it.

That thing might be okay if it fell into the hands of an ordinary person, but if it fell into the hands of an evil Warlock, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause, and then his sins would be enormous.

A few minutes later, Aaron searched the grassy area around the pool, but found nothing.

He was pretty sure the Wand hadn't fallen into the pool with him, but if he didn't look around, he'd have to expand the search area.

"What a hassle!"

"I never expected that the first thing I'd have to do is find my lost Wand." Aaron sighed helplessly. "It's not even necessary, but I still have to look for it."

"Child, is this what you're looking for?"

A strange yet gentle voice came from behind a rock. Aaron immediately turned around and saw a figure with its back to the sunlight. He subconsciously frowned.

An old man dressed in a gray robe and wearing a Wizard Hat slowly walked towards him.

He has blue eyes and a long gray beard. He holds a long staff in his right hand and his black Wand in his left.
