A Fulfilling May
Time flies, April ends, and May arrives.
After being divided into groups, the Sleeping Dragon Society gradually got on track under Skylar's supervision and the management of his six closest girls.
Skylar once again became a hands-off manager, handing over all organizational affairs to them. His top priority now was to improve the capabilities of the team leaders.
The success of the Magic Blood Potion made Skylar realize the power of his own blood. He used the same trick again, combining his own blood with Sarf's blood to create a Potions that could aid in the evolution and reproduction of species.
After experimenting on some Puffskein and Jarvey, he successfully created some entirely new mutant species.
The Puffskein that change colors... the Jarvey have developed resistance to Doxycide...
No matter how you look at it, this new drug has been proven to be harmless, and it has also greatly improved the survival ability of these species. From a biological point of view, it can be said that these species have evolved.
Ultimately, he injected the drug into Silver Fang and Beowulf.
Surprisingly, the same drug produced drastically different effects in both individuals.
Silver Fang's intelligence has been enhanced once again. As a descendant of Werewolf with intelligence approaching that of humans, it had also consumed a small amount of Baruffio's Brain Elixir to enhance its intelligence. After this, Silver Fang actually gained the ability to communicate in human language, learned English and simple spells, and even developed combat intelligence indistinguishable from that of humans, making its combat strength no less than that of an adult wizard.
Skylar tried to teach it different kinds of spells, but found that it was most compatible with gravity spells and wind spells. Under Skylar's guidance, Silver Fang quickly mastered the Levitation Charm Wind-Spinning Vortex Curse. The former allowed it to briefly rise into the air, while the latter, when cast on it, was more like spitting out a whirlwind cannon from its mouth.
After a bargaining-like argument between Skylar and it, this wind cannon attack was renamed Silver Fang's exclusive ultimate technique—"Roar of Wind".
According to Skylar's deduction, Silver Fang might even be able to learn "Unsupported Flight," but unfortunately, Skylar still hasn't mastered this magic, so he can't teach it. Moreover, Skylar still remembers his promise to Snape not to divulge the notebook, so he simply describes the part about "Unsupported Flight" to Silver Fang in his own understanding, letting it comprehend its own flight magic on its own.
As for Beowulf, its effect was far inferior to Silver Fang. Although it possessed intelligence and spirituality, it still could not speak human language. However, its fur was greatly enhanced. At this moment, its body seemed to be coated with a very special metal, shining with a beautiful silver-gray luster similar to metal. According to Skylar's experiments, its skin's resistance to magic was no less than that of the Dragon Hide and the Basilisk skin.
At the same time, its two rows of sharp teeth gleamed with a metallic sheen, capable of piercing even Galleon made of Black Gold with a single bite. Moreover, its teeth and saliva were found to be poisonous by Skylar; a creature bitten by Beowulf would die from heart failure if it did not receive any treatment within seven hours.
[Silver Fang Evolution!][Beowulf Evolution!]
In fact, Silver Fang was already a fully grown wolf at this point and no longer needed Skylar's careful protection. The reason Skylar continued to keep it in captivity was simply a kind of bond, similar to that between family members.
However, the fledgling eagle will eventually leave home and fly. Skylar couldn't be so selfish as to keep it by his side forever.
It's time to let it go and pursue its own world.
That day, he summoned Silver Fang and Beowulf and released them into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Skylar handed the map of the Forbidden Forest to Silver Fang, whose intelligence rivaled that of an adult, carefully instructing it to be wary of the habitats of the Thestral and Centaur. He also instructed the two of them to subdue the wolf packs in the Forbidden Forest by force, and then use the wolf packs as a base to sweep through the territories of other creatures in the Forbidden Forest their own power within it.
Skylar had roamed the Forbidden Forest for many years and was extremely familiar with Forbidden Forest. Apart from the Thestral Forbidden Forest Centaur, almost no other creatures posed a threat to them. The Acromantula might have been, but Skylar's Fiendfyre had reduced their entire colony to less than a tenth. Once Silver Fang successfully unified the wolf pack in the Forbidden Forest, the remaining scattered Acromantula -Acromantula would be no match for the wolves. As for the Blood-sucking Bugbear and the Red Cap Clan, their habitat was even less of a concern. Individually, they were already weaker than giant wolves, and in group combat, they were no match for the socially adept wolf packs.
Once this force is established, it will allow Skylar to control all movements within the Forbidden Forest and grant the wizards under his Skylar the authority to utilize the Forbidden Forest's abundant resources.
Well, speaking of which, the Centaur and Thestral are one thing; dealing with them isn't easy, and they're quite troublesome. However, Hagrid seems to be standing in Skylar's way...
The Silver Fang's Wolves faction, hailed as the "Forbidden Forest Force," has been established!
The successful evolution of Silver Fang and Beowulf gave Skylar more confidence and inspired him to come up with more imaginative ideas.
He produced several rare, controlled herbs that Ali Bashir had imported from South America — Peru San Pedro Cactus and Mexico Peyote (as mentioned in this chapter). These two herbs are rare and used by both wizards and Muggle. They have hallucinogenic effects, but also stimulate the mind (Muggle: nervous system), helping wizards and Muggle recover long-forgotten memories, regain sensitivity to light and color, and alter their perception of time.
He added these two herbs to a Magical Creatures evolution potion made primarily of his and Sarf's blood, in order to feed a nest of Blood-sucking Midge over a long period.
He was eager to see what kind of species the Blood-sucking Midge, fed with this kind of food, would evolve into.
Of course, this is a long-term project, and he won't waste his time on it.
He plans to try to breed another new species at the same time.
During his battle with the Acromantula and his infiltration of their lair, he took several hundred unhatched Acromantula eggs with him before leaving and stored them in the snowy mountain area of Suitcase Space, where they were frozen.
Skylar took out all the Red Cap skulls he had collected in the Forbidden Forest, along with the nearly depleted Basilisk, and added a Magical Creatures evolution potion primarily composed of his and Sarf's blood. He then used this potion to soak the Acromantula eggs, providing them with the energy needed to hatch. Although the Red Cap creature wasn't particularly powerful, its skulls carried a powerful curse. And the Basilisk, as the natural enemy of the Acromantula -Acromantula, was perfectly suited to accelerate its evolution.
The next step is to improve the skills of the team leaders.
One night, Skylar sneaked out of the castle through Secret Passage, infiltrated Hogsmeade Village, and then approached Madam Rosmerta. Using methods that readers probably wouldn't want to know, he brutally extracted all the memories from her mind.
Skylar knew that there must be a reason why the Druid tradition had disappeared from the wizards' sight for so long. As one of the world's greatest secrets, persuasion and reasoning would definitely not work. In addition, this woman's strength in the original work was only average. Even Draco could easily kill her with the Imperius Curse. Therefore, Skylar, unwilling to waste any more time, chose the most direct and efficient method.
Skylar was right; Madam Rosmerta was indeed a descendant of a druid priestess. Unfortunately, after so many years, the power of her druid bloodline had become extremely diluted, making it impossible for her to awaken it. However, in order to strictly adhere to her family's ancestral teachings, she could only guard the secret of the druid lineage, preferring to let it be lost with her into the grave rather than pass it on to others.
Skylar utterly disdained this; the wizards' habit of hoarding their knowledge was the biggest culprit hindering their progress. Thinking this way, Skylar's guilt towards Madam Rosmerta lessened somewhat. After extracting all her memories of the Druid lineage, Skylar gave her a state of "Obliviate," meaning she would not only forget that Skylar had come to see her that evening, but even her own memory of being a descendant of the Druid Sect was erased.
From now on, she will be just an ordinary bar owner.
The transmission of Druidic magic is only oral, not written, but it posed no difficulty for Skylar, whose memory was astounding. He easily wrote down all the Druidic spells in detail on paper and then handed them to Daphne, instructing her to study them diligently.
With Daphne's strength issue resolved, it's Morrie's turn next.
Morrie's main focus is quite clear: the Elemental Affinity that benefits her bloodline. With Skylar's expertise in elemental magic, he is more than capable of guiding her. The immediate priority is to help her master the ability to restore elemental magic to its essential form. To this end, Skylar even gave her Grindelwald's Element Ring.
The next one who needs to improve her strength is Astoria.
Skylar gave Astoria his meticulously compiled Potions notes, instructing her to spend time practicing and mastering the various recipes and techniques within. He also gave her Hufflepuff's Cauldron, reasoning that it was better for Astoria to create more value than for him to let it gather dust. With this cauldron, Astoria's success rate and efficiency in Potions- making would significantly improve.
Cho Chang is already practicing the Zhang Family's secret Transfiguration, so Skylar doesn't need to worry about improving his strength.
Susan, on the other hand, began to study the secret spells of the Bones family. The Bones family's magic was primarily defensive; the Shield Charm alone had five different variations, enough to withstand elemental, physical, magical cutting, magical explosion, and Dark Arts attacks. In addition to the Shield Charm, the Bones family also possessed various unpredictable and unpredictable methods for breaking, transferring, and reflecting magic, exhausting the limits of defense to the extreme, making it virtually impenetrable. No wonder Amelia in the original story had to go toe-to-toe with Voldemort for several rounds before a victor could be determined.
Time passed by in such a fulfilling way, and soon it was the last week of May.
Having finally mastered the art of insect manipulation, Luna, accompanied by Skylar, arrived at Skylar's laboratory where he was cultivating new species.
