Changes in the Secret Realm

Magical research is a long process, but once it succeeds, the rewards will be immense.

Skylar had actually anticipated the result reported by Morrie, so he didn't take it seriously.

In fact, the Dragon Soul Team has more than just one research project: promoting magic or Potions.

Besides Morrie and Cho Chang, who serve as the team leader and deputy team leader, Dragon Soul usually divides into more small research teams according to the research directions designed by Skylar. This way, different research projects can be carried out at the same time. Morrie and Cho Chang are responsible for inspecting and supervising the progress of all small teams.

At this stage, Dragon Soul has two other magical research projects: one is to develop Cosmetic Potion that can prevent aging by studying the Cosmetic Potion research notes of the Tugwood Family, and the other is to develop the extremely rare and obscure spell "The Homonculous Charm" by studying the Marauder's Map taken from the Fake Moody.

The research into Cosmetic Potion was purely because Skylar saw the hidden commercial value behind them—the existing Cosmetic Potion in the Wizarding World were limited to treating skin problems such as warts and papules. If Potions could reverse aging or even permanently preserve youth were successfully invented, it would be an unprecedented commercial breakthrough. Skylar estimated that its far-reaching influence would be no less than that of Floo Powder, which was invented by Ignatius Will.

As for the "Homonculous Charm," Skylar had actually seen it in several ancient magic books and knew its incantation and uses, but he still lacked the ability to use it to the point that he could imprint the magic into the Marauder's Map. It seems that the Marauder's quartet in the original book must have spent a lot of time and effort to research it. At least the other students and the Fake Moody in the original book regarded the Marauder's Map as a treasure, which shows that not many people knew how to make it.

Once this magic is successfully researched, hehe, just imagine! The flow and destination of all people in Diagon Alley, Knockturn Alley, and Hogsmeade Village —the areas with the highest concentration of wizards—will fall under the control of the Sleeping Dragon Society. This is practically a cheat code-level monitoring cheat!

The scene returns to Skylar.

Skylar first comforted the two women, then gave the young wizards still present a few words of encouragement, and finally instructed Daphne to arrange for the members of the Sleeping Dragon Society to return to their daily activities in their respective groups, that is, to do what they were supposed to do.

Then, Skylar gave Sha'erfu a signal, and the two left the Chamber of Secrets behind the mirror on the fifth floor, went to the Ravenclaw Tower, and entered the Ravenclaw's Chamber through the eagle-shaped door lock.

Ravenclaw's Chamber was one of Skylar's most closely guarded secret strongholds, perhaps even his most secretive.

Most members of the Sleeping Dragon Society knew about the existence of the Mirror Chamber on the fifth floor, while a small number of core members knew about the existence of the Chamber of Secrets and the Suitcase Space.

However, the Ravenclaw Chamber was known only to Skylar and Sha'erfu. Daphne, Astoria, and Morrie had heard of Chamber of Secrets existence from Skylar, but they had never entered it.

The reason he chose to come to this Chamber of Secrets with Sha'erfu was because what Skylar was about to do was fraught with darkness, and he didn't want Daphne and the other girls to get involved.

Daphne and the others had already sacrificed enough for Skylar, and Skylar simply couldn't bear to see them involved in something that would corrupt their souls.

Sha'erfu is the only exception.

Of all his girlfriends, Sha'erfu was the only one who could touch Skylar's dark side.

In the Ravenclaw Chamber, where no one could disturb them, Skylar opened Scamander's Suitcase and climbed inside with Sha'erfu.

The Suitcase Space were quite different from when Skylar had last come in.

In the sky, Buckbeak was no longer alone, but had formed a family with a female Hippogriff who had later joined the Dragon Wing Team. Behind the two magnificent Hippogriff, three young Hippogriff were struggling to flap their still-developing wings, trying to keep up with their parents' soaring flight.

The small cabin that Scamander originally used as a research site for Fantastic Beasts was transformed by Skylar into a large biological research institute with a highly modern design. The containers and cages inside were filled with various dark monsters and evil creatures cultivated by Skylar.

The vacant land outside the research institute was also reclaimed into a large plantation, which the Dragon Wing Team used to grow various magical plants that they needed in actual combat, such as Mandrake, Devil's Snare, Venomous Tentacula, Venomous Tentacula, and so on.

Deeper into the taller forest, the original two inhabitants, Silver Fang and Beowulf, were no longer there. In their place stood ten Unicorn captured from the Forbidden Forest by the Dragon Wing Team with Silver Fang's help.

The sacred Unicorn is not only a valuable source of alchemical and Potions ingredients, but even its droppings are an amazing fertilizer that can boost the growth rate of magical plants.

In the very center of the forest, there is a newly excavated medium-sized lake. Its water has been magically improved, making it extremely suitable for irrigating magical plants. It is the main water source used by the Dragon Wing Team members.

The lake serves more than just that purpose. A considerable number of Fire Crab are raised at the bottom of the lake, caught by the Dragon Wing Team from the Black Lake at Hogwarts. As for why Fire Crab from Fiji would appear in the Black Lake, that's a question for Hagrid.

The Fire Crab is a Fantastic Beasts that resembles a sea turtle, with its shell adorned with colorful jewels. It can also shoot flames from its tail when it senses an attack.

In Fiji, the Fire Crab is a protected Fantastic Beasts, and the Fiji Ministry of Magic has established a protected area for them along a vast coastline. This is not only to prevent Muggle from taking their beautiful shells, but also to stop some wizards from using their shells to make cauldrons. In fact, the Fire Crab is not only valued for its highly ornamental shell, but its internal organs and eggs also have high medicinal value and are precious ingredients for Potions.

Of course, as a top-quality ingredient, Fire Crab is a rare delicacy with extremely fresh flavor, whether steamed or grilled. However, according to Skylar's current plan, only a very small number of core members of the Sleeping Dragon Society are qualified to enjoy it, so we will leave that aside for now.

This entire area, including the forest and lake, has been allocated by Skylar to the Dragon Wing Team for their daily activities.

Of course, at this moment, there was no one here, and the entire Suitcase Space was so quiet that the light footsteps of Skylar and Sha'erfu could be clearly heard.

Skylar and Sha'erfu walked to the old locust tree planted outside the research institute.

Skylar used two secret incantations, "Ink Becomes Dragon" and "Adding the Ink Dragon Eyes," to activate the magical mechanism that had been set up on the old locust tree, opening up a bottomless tunnel.

This tunnel and the two secret spells were unknown even to Daphne, let alone the young wizards of the Sleeping Dragon Society. Every time Skylar entered this place, he would make sure that the young wizards had been cleared out. Although the members of the Dragon Wing Team often lingered in the Suitcase Space, they never realized that one of Skylar's greatest secrets was hidden under the old locust tree so close by.

Because below lies Skylar's private prison— the Coiling Dragon Dungeon, a dark place specifically used to imprison, torture, and torment enemies.
