Diagon Alley, Entry Fusion Upgrade!

"Dragon blood is actually selling for sixteen silver Sickles an ounce! They've truly gone mad!"

"Look! That's the latest Nimbus 2000! I really want one!"

"Our standard-model cauldrons are crafted from the finest copper alloy, ensuring they are not only heat-resistant but also corrosion-proof, keeping your potions in peak condition throughout the brewing process."

London.

Diagon Alley.

It was another bustling, lively day.

At this moment, Devero felt like crying without tears.

He had just received another knock on the head from Snape.

The reason was that he kept staring at other wizards and grinning foolishly while shopping.

Snape couldn't stand it anymore and taught him a lesson.

Devero wanted to say that he didn't want to either!

But he had made a discovery that made it impossible for him to keep his mouth from curling upward!

The entries could actually be fused and evolved!

To be precise.

The entries in the Entry Library could be fused and upgraded.

Above Devero's panel.

There was something called the [Entry Library].

It recorded the number of all the tiered entries Devero had currently loaded.

Once a certain level was reached.

Fusion and upgrades could be performed.

And this didn't mean fusing and upgrading the same entry.

Rather, it involved fusing the number of loaded entries accumulated in the Entry Library.

Then, Devero could autonomously choose one of his currently carried entries to upgrade.

After all, not every entry's effect was positive for Devero.

So, the system thoughtfully allowed Devero to choose which entries to carry from the Entry Library.

Of course, it wasn't plug-and-play.

Instead, it could only be chosen once during the initial loading.

If one chose not to carry it.

Then it couldn't be carried later on.

And if one chose to carry it, Devero hadn't found a way to unequip it yet.

As for the specific fusion rules.

One red entry could be obtained by fusing five gold entries.

One gold entry could be obtained by fusing ten purple entries.

One purple entry could be obtained by fusing one hundred blue entries.

One blue entry could also be obtained by fusing one thousand green entries.

One green entry could be obtained by fusing ten thousand white entries.

Uh.

Although the condition of needing ten thousand entries to fuse did startle Devero.

But thinking about it, it was reasonable.

Almost everyone had a few white entries on them.

Like buckteeth, freckles, and so on.

Using them to fuse into a high-tier entry was indeed quite difficult.

However, he discovered that, in fact, every wizard had at least one blue entry on them.

[Magic Ability: Possessing the potential to become a qualified wizard.]

Then, as long as he loaded this blue entry from every person he saw.

With so many wizards in London.

A purple entry was basically a sure thing.

It would be even more exhilarating once he arrived at Hogwarts.

There were so many students waiting to be loaded by him, with dozens or even hundreds of young wizards every year.

Waiting to be bled dry by him!

Devero had never been as eager to go to Hogwarts as he was right now!

Besides, it's not like everyone only has white, green, or blue traits. If I can collect higher-level traits, my growth rate will definitely be even faster!

That was exactly why Devero had just grinned foolishly at a wizard.

It was because this person actually had a purple trait on them!

[Magic Cooking Expert (Purple): You possess a talent for magical cooking that surpasses ordinary people; you have the ability to learn how to prepare a table full of delicious dishes with only simple guidance.]

Devero liked this ability very much.

But because the cooldown for loading traits hadn't ended yet, he could only painfully let it slip by!

He had thought that, finally, he wouldn't have to suffer through Snape's cooking anymore.

Over the past year, although Snape hadn't truly let Devero go hungry, he certainly hadn't put any thought into making anything good.

Or rather, Devero was incredibly shocked that Snape could even cook at all.

At first, he had assumed Snape was going to feed him potions.

That was why Devero had been smiling so happily just a moment ago.

Right, there was one more thing that made Devero very happy.

Under the effect of the Magic Prodigy trait, he could learn spells simply by observing them.

And here in Diagon Alley, many adult wizards were using various spells.

Thus:

[Ding!]

[New spell successfully added to library!]

[New spell successfully added to library!]

[New spell successfully added to library!]

In no time at all, Devero's spell library became quite substantial.

[Spell Library: Levitation Charm (Proficient/Non-verbal + Verbal), Summoning Charm (Novice/Verbal), Alohomora (Novice/Verbal), Scourgify (Novice/Verbal), Reparo (Novice/Verbal)]

Having spent less than an hour in Diagon Alley, Devero had already learned five spells just by observing.

Among them, the most commonly used and fundamental Levitation Charm had even reached a proficient level without Devero ever having practiced it—simply by watching others cast it.

"Oh! Merlin's beard, this is the kind of effect a unique-level trait should have!"

Consequently, Devero followed behind Snape, constantly peeking at other wizards casting spells while simultaneously loading their white and green traits.

Although it would take many of them to fuse and strengthen, it was better than nothing.

He didn't even have time to look at the various novel shops in Diagon Alley.

Next.

Snape took Devero Alexander to purchase his school robes.

And various stationery.

As well as the books he needed for the new term at Flourish and Blotts.

Devero could hardly put the books down the moment he got his hands on them.

Especially the newly purchased Book of Potions.

This book on potion-making, written by the wizard Sigmund Badge.

The knowledge of potions within it made him lose all track of time as he read.

The result was another rap on the head from Snape for standing like a fool in the middle of the street for ten minutes.

"I haven't seen you take such an interest in potions before. Are you trying to put on a show to garner attention?"

Snape said with a sneer.

Devero knew, of course, that Snape detested arrogance and conceit above all else.

He had to appear incredibly humble in front of him.

"Of course not, sir. It's just that after studying for these past few days at the Leaky Cauldron, I've finally realized that potion-making is an extremely profound, mysterious, and fascinating discipline. I simply couldn't wait to learn more."

If one sang the praises of potions in front of Snape.

His temper would soften just a little.

"Oh? I thought I had covered that point in the very first lesson I gave you. I didn't expect it would take you until now to learn it."

Sure enough, Snape only said that much this time.

He then led Devero toward their next destination.

If Devero hadn't said that just now.

Snape would have likely abandoned him in Diagon Alley and walked off on his own.

Devero was certain he was capable of doing just that.

As they walked.

Devero still surreptitiously pulled out the Book of Potions to sneak a peek.

With the Potion Prodigy entry.

He now found even this dense and obscure content to be quite engaging.

One had to remember that when he only possessed the Potion Perception entry.

Reading Magical Drafts and Potions had felt like serving a prison sentence.

And this Book of Potions was even more advanced!

Just think, Snape had possessed such talent since he was a child.

And had been studying like this ever since.

One could only imagine the terrifying level his potion-making skills must have reached by now.

He was truly worthy of being the youngest professor at Hogwarts.

His level was absolutely top-tier!

With the final cauldron purchased.

They walked out of the cauldron shop.

[Ding!]

[Your exploration progress of the Wizard Secret Realm—Diagon Alley has reached 30%!]

[Rewards have been issued!]

Devero opened his panel with great delight.

[Name: Devero Alexander]

[Age: 11]

[Identity: Unenrolled Hogwarts Freshman, Potion Apprentice]

[Spell Library: Levitation Charm (Proficient/Non-verbal + Verbal), Summoning Charm (Novice/Verbal), Alohomora (Novice/Verbal)...]

[Items: Spell Proficiency Card]

[Wizard Secret Realm Exploration Count: 1]

Although he really wanted to use this first item immediately to see its effects, Devero held back for the time being.

Because, even though he had basically purchased all the supplies needed for school, there was still one thing missing.

It was the most important partner for every wizard—the wand!
