Sarf left Ella Cottage. She had to carry out Skylar's orders first, and then begin to slowly process the corpses of the Giant who had died in the Valley of Giants into Inferius.

She remembered that there were only about a dozen Giant corpses—although many Giant died in battle, due to the Giant's brutal fighting style, many of Giant corpses were beaten beyond recognition, and in severe cases, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they Reducto.

She had created Inferius before, but the corpses of human wizards and Giant differed greatly in both size and the properties of the materials used—this would be a wondrous experience unlike anything she had ever done before.

Savannah also left the hall, but she was still in Ella Cottage. She entered the Suitcase Space and began to train the Inferius that Skylar had given her without any restraint, arranging and designing tactics and formations suitable for them.

Skylar took out all the Dark Arts books in his collection, as well as the fifth volume of Abatair, and began his magical learning journey once again.

This time, however, when he was tired, Latifa would obediently cast a Refreshing Charm Fatigue-Relief Charm on him, and then carefully massage him to loosen his muscles and bones.

Time flies, and another day has passed, bringing us to the morning of August 6th.

Skylar got up early and, after a simple breakfast prepared by Latifa, was beginning his magical practice when a loud cracking sound rang out in front of him at the table. It Dino, the House Elf hadn't seen in a long time. Although Skylar had six House Elf under his command, the one he saw most often was Dobby, who was closest to him, followed by Winky.

Upon further reflection, Skylar understood the reason— Dobby had gone to Germany to do something for him, and Winky had gone to North America; clearly, neither of them had returned to Great Britain yet.

Therefore, the House Elf who reported information to him became Dino, who originally served the Shafiq Family.

Dino's ears twitched slightly, as if he too realized the gravity of the news he brought. He reported to his superior in his usual hoarse but clear voice:

"Master, the investigation into Guluosi Misted has yielded results."

Skylar raised a finger to signal him to continue.

"His family name and surname are both fabricated; there is no trace of the surname 'Misted' in any known wizarding genealogy. In fact, his identity seems to have appeared out of thin air—but we have traced some clues."

Dino glanced up at Skylar, and seeing no sign of displeasure, continued, "We found clues related to him in Eastern Europe, specifically in Transylvania. There are some rumors circulating there about his grandfather... a figure suspected to be a famous necromancer from the last century— Olihua."

Skylar had also heard of the name Olihua. In his "Historical Documents on the Lives of Famous Europe Black Wizards," which he had looted from the House of Avery, there was this passage:

Olihua, whose surname is unknown, was infamous for his evil magic that manipulated the dead. Rumors even circulated that some of his experiments still slowly gestate into unknown horrors in abandoned tombs. His most horrific act was the massacre of an entire village, turning everyone into Inferius and forcing them to fight each Inferius, attempting to induce self-evolution and create even more powerful Inferius. The experiment failed, the Inferius went out of control, and Inferius vanished without a trace.

"Transylvania?" Skylar rested his chin on his hand, pondering slightly. "Isn't that the location of the infamous underground Necromancer Guild? If he really has some connection with dark wizards skilled in necromancy, then it's very likely that he's inextricably linked to the Necromancer Guild..."

Dino lowered his head and added, "Detailed information about Olihua is extremely difficult to find; he has long since disappeared from the wizarding world's sight. But if Guluosi Misted is indeed his descendant... then his true purpose is probably far more complex than we initially imagined."

Skylar narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingertips pausing their tapping on the armrest. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, "Have everyone continue to monitor him. I need to know who he's met, what he's done—everything must be recorded in meticulous detail."

"Yes, Master." Dino bowed deeply, but did not leave immediately as usual. Instead, he carefully raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Also, Master, there is a second piece of information."

Skylar raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

"Lords Claude Fawley and Squall Slughorn have sent the latest news from the Fawley Family and the Slughorn Family respectively—" Dino paused, his ears twitching slightly, "The Pure-Blood Traitor Faction seem to be becoming more active in secret, attempting to win over the neutral factions within the Pure-blood families, and the Fawley Family and the Slughorn Family are their primary targets."

Upon hearing this, Skylar's eyebrows rose slightly— the Pure-Blood Traitor Faction? What were they planning?

How could this faction, which had almost no presence in the original work, suddenly emerge at this critical juncture? As far as Skylar knew, the so-called Pure-Blood Traitor Faction were the enlightened faction within Pure-blood families who endorsed Dumbledore's pro- Muggle ideology, represented by families such as the Weasley, Prewett, Shacklebolt, and Longbottom.

Most of them had family members involved in the Order of the Phoenix, led by Dumbledore, in their fight against the Death Eaters, led by Voldemort and composed of Pure-Blood Extremist Faction.

In Skylar's original analysis of the situation, the main forces in Great Britain were the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters, and the Order of the Phoenix. The so-called Pure-Blood Traitor Faction were, in his mind, just a force hiding behind the scenes supporting Dumbledore, and not worth his attention at all.

It seems that with its powerful rise, both the Pure-Blood Extremist Faction and the Pure-Blood Moderate Faction have gathered under its banner, centered around it, and have been united into a powerful force with a unified spirit (referring to ideology) and interests. This has undoubtedly made the Pure-Blood Traitor Faction feel an unprecedented crisis, so they can no longer sit still and must take action.

The coldness in Skylar's eyes deepened. He leaned back in his chair, his long, slender fingers interlaced and gently resting on his chin, his gaze as deep and unfathomable as if he were weighing something.

Dino stood quietly in place, not daring to disturb Skylar's thoughts, but his large ears remained highly tense.

After a moment, Skylar said calmly, "Tell them to remain still and observe the movements of the Pure-Blood Traitor Faction. I need to know the identity of the real person in Pure-Blood Traitor Faction."

"Yes, Master." Dino nodded quickly, his expression respectful.

Skylar tapped the armrest, adding in a calm and unhurried tone, "These cowards hiding behind Dumbledore dared to act behind my back, hmph—" Skylar sneered, saying, "Just as Arthur Weasley dealt with my House of Malfoy, I'll give them a taste of their own medicine, let them experience the same methods—"

"Dino, send a message to Albert Runcorn for me. Tell him I'm anonymously reporting that the Longbottom, Shafiq, and Prewett family are secretly possessing illegal Dark Arts items. I hope he can lead a team to search these families' estates and cause them some trouble," Skylar said coldly.

"Understood, Master." Dino bowed deeply again, this time standing quietly to the side, waiting for Skylar to give any further instructions.

Hmph, didn't expect that, did you? The tragedy of the Weasley is still fresh in our minds, and now a new enemy has run into Skylar's gun so soon.

Seeing that Dino was still there, Skylar immediately asked, "Do you have anything else to report?"

Dino stood before Skylar, his expression even more serious than before, his voice low and cautious. "Master, Silver Spear has sent urgent intelligence through Gulana Grana of the Medieval European Wizards Association."

Skylar's deep gaze fell on Dino, signaling him to continue.

"Silver Spear's North America branch has discovered that the evil organization 'Demonic Dragon Chaos,' which has been entrenched in North America, has recently become unusually active, with its operations becoming unusually frequent."

Dino paused, his ears twitching slightly, as if he were organizing his thoughts for more precise words. "During a mercenary escort mission, the Silver Spear's forces clashed fiercely with the Demonic Dragon Chaos... During that mission, an extremely dangerous enemy figure appeared."

"Oh?" Skylar's eyes narrowed slightly, his tone calm yet carrying a hint of unfathomable meaning.

"The Silver Spear's battle wizards unanimously agree that the female wizard's combat strength is at least at the quasi-magic master level, and she is extremely skilled in Ancient Magic. More importantly..." Dino hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Her appearance bears some resemblance to the missing eldest daughter of the Shafiq Family."

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Skylar's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, the sound crisp yet carrying an unsettling rhythm.

Dino continued his report, "The team that Silver Spear sent was led by an elite Auror- level battle mage. That captain had extensive experience in field combat and was recognized as one of Silver Spear's strongest fighters. However, during the battle, he was still forcibly suppressed by that witch... In the end, he heroically sacrificed himself to cover the retreat of his troops."

Skylar's gaze darkened, his tone remaining calm but carrying a dangerous chill. "How will Silver Spear respond?"

"This matter has alarmed the Four Silver Spear Archwizards, who have already assembled their elite forces." Dino bowed respectfully. "The bishops and knights, each leading their own elite troops, have already set off for North America."

Skylar slowly closed his eyes, his fingertips tapping lightly on the armrest.

The missing eldest daughter of the Shafiq Family...

Skilled in Ancient Magic...

Quasi-magic level strength...

The sudden rise of the Demonic Dragon Chaos...

As all the clues were pieced together, a familiar figure emerged in Skylar's mind— Morgan LeFeuy.

He had thought that Morgan's power had been completely weakened after the clash at Little Hangleton Cemetery and the recent annihilation operation in Valley of Giants. He never expected that she still had hidden forces in North America and that she was already showing signs of regrouping.

Damn it, besides the Shadow of the Magic Dragon, how many other forces does she actually have?

Now, this venomous snake, lurking in the shadows, is beginning to stir again.

Skylar opened his eyes, his cold, sharp gaze sweeping over Dino: "Send a copy of Morgan le Fay's intelligence to Silver Spear. Tell them to stay vigilant, and ideally continue monitoring the movements of the Demonic Dragon Chaos, but don't act rashly."

"Yes, Master." Dino nodded immediately.

Skylar smiled slightly, his fingertips lightly tracing the armrest, his voice low and tinged with a barely perceptible interest. "The Undead Guild... Pure-blood Traitors... The Demonic Dragon Chaos... It seems this chessboard is becoming increasingly interesting..."

He waved his hand, Dino bowed deeply, and then vanished into thin air in a flash.
