A few days later, Ian checked the Magic Core in his body that had been filled with Mana. After breaking through Third Limitation and reaching the energy limit of this world, he began to think about the next step -
Not for myself, but for the future of the entire Wizard Race group.
He referred to the concept of martial arts training system and tried to further compress Mana to liquefy it. However, although his control of energy was perfect, he still could not achieve it. So he came to the conclusion:
--Compression alone is not the right way, we must find new ways to break through.
But he is not in a hurry. Theoretically, when the wizard can completely liquefy Mana, the soul will undergo a transformation, the spirit and body will be sublimated, and the life span will be greatly extended. If it can continue to be compressed to a solid state, it will be the level of Philosopher's Stone - if Philosopher's Stone is replaced and integrated into his own Magic Core, he will directly cross the intermediate stage and reach the end.
The calculation results showed that the total amount of Mana Ian currently has is enough to support him to live for a thousand years. He is not surprised by this. The average life span of a wizard who has not broken through the first limit is about two hundred years old, and those with outstanding talents can live longer. For example, Dumbledore The previous principal Armando·Dippet is still alive today and is 355 years old. Ian once studied the old wizard and found that he broke through First Limitation in his later years, and his life span was extended.
Another longevity person is Barry Winkel - seven hundred and fifty-six years old, older than Nicolas Flamel. Ian initially thought that he had refined his own Philosopher's Stone, so he came to visit him specially.
It turns out that the old guy invented an extremely dangerous spell that allows him to offer sacrifices to existences in unknown dimensions in exchange for extending his lifespan - everything from gold and silver treasures to books and even human lives can be used as offerings.
After learning about this, Ian erased his memory of this spell without hesitation.
He had already learned from bloody lessons that he should never trade with beings from unknown dimensions.
When he was a thief in his early years, he once obtained a book called <Key of Solomon>, which could summon monsters from other worlds. In a certain experiment, he tried to reverse the summons and entered that space through World Gate--
As a result, it was almost swallowed by the higher-dimensional creatures within it.
His thoughts returned to reality. At this moment, he was standing in the laboratory, surrounded by empty medicine bottles and residual Potions.
"Finally, I don't have to drink these damn potions anymore." He murmured to himself, feeling that the amount of Mana in his body was a hundred times that of an ordinary wizard.
While cleaning up the scene, he thought about how to improve Mana without relying on chemicals.
He had previously tried an amplification potion made from liquefied ley lines Mana. Although it could temporarily increase magic power, the duration was extremely short - more like a temporary gain in the game.
Ian recorded this into the research list, and then Apparition left.
After a short bath, he appeared in another laboratory. Several scientists and Potions teachers gathered in the room, as well as Snape who was trying to stay calm.
Ian looked at the girl on the experimental table - to be precise, she was the clone of Lily·Potter.
He first gently peeled off the new soul, then took out Resurrection Stone and recalled the real soul.
The air suddenly became cold, and the pale golden soul appeared in the magic ripples--
Lily's soul is illusory and calm, as if it is still sleeping.
Ian carefully inspected the soul structure to confirm that it was intact. At the same time, the scientific research team next door was excitedly observing the data.
"Report! No response from heat, night vision, or radar!"
"A special electromagnetic wave has been detected!"
"Put on Spirit Sight Mirror!" the supervisor ordered.
Dozens of pairs of lenses lit up at the same time, and they finally saw the sleeping soul suspended between Ian and Snape. Everyone held their breath, as if they were witnessing a miracle.
Ian relocated the soul into the body. After a moment, the clone's eyelashes trembled slightly and its eyes slowly opened.
"Where is...?" she murmured, "Severus? Am I not dead?"
Snape's fingers trembled and his voice trembled. "You are indeed dead... but now, you are back."
"Resurrection? Did you use Dark Magic?" Lily panicked slightly, Ian raised her hand, and Requiem Charm calmed her down. Snape explained everything to her - time, experiments, Resurrection plan.
"Twelve years?" Lily was stunned, "Harry... He has grown up."
She looked at Ian and said softly, "Thank you, thank you for letting me see this world again."
Ian just nodded, his eyes suddenly condensed.
Snape noticed something unusual and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Her soul is reshaping her bloodline." Ian said with unconcealed surprise, "Her Magic Core is also regenerating... This kind of Self repair is an unprecedented phenomenon."
He quickly recorded the data - this is the most precious material of "Magic Mage Project".
But the next moment, he felt even weirder energy fluctuations.
"Wait... I seem to have seen this form of magic somewhere. By the way - it's 'Ancient Magic of Love'."
Snape's pupils shrank. "But you said that wizards cannot use that ancient power."
"I thought so too." Ian looked calm, "It seems that during the process of Resurrection, her soul underwent transformation and brought back the original energy of 'love' from the world of death."
He handed Lily a magic wand. "Try it."
Lily closed his eyes and focused, waved the wand lightly, and a purple light wave escaped and poured into Ian's body.
Instantly, he felt a slight increase in physical strength, soul, and Mana - an increase of about five percentage points, short-lived but real.
"Temporary enhancement," he judged, "Can you try other abilities again?"
Lily thought for a moment and replied, "I can feel another kind of power... called 'Absolute Shield'. I can use love as a boundary to build a shield to resist any attack."
"Any attack?"
"Yes, but the duration is limited. And... Harry must be by my side."
Ian nodded and recorded the result. "I understand." Then he said warmly, "Lily, there are two things.
First, you have mastered 'Love Magic' and can assist me in conducting a certain research.
Second, you cannot have contact with anyone for the time being - including Harry. You can watch him from a distance or use a disguised identity, but you cannot reveal your true identity."
Lily frowned. "Why?"
"Severus will tell you why."
After saying that, Ian put away Resurrection Stone, turned around and left - he still had two people to call back.
--
At night, he appeared at his aunt's house. The lights in the house were warm, and his aunt and Susan were having a meal. When he appeared, his aunt looked cold.
Ian smiled bitterly, "I know I broke my promise and didn't take you around the world... but I brought another gift."
Two figures walked out from behind him. Susan was stunned at first, then his pupils suddenly shrank, and countless fragments flashed through his mind.
With the help of Mind Palace Charm's memory ability, she recognized the two faces at a glance--
It was a memory she had relived countless times in her dreams: a tall, gentle wizard couple holding a baby in their arms, laughing in the sunshine.
Tears instantly filled her eyes.
The next moment, she ran towards the familiar embrace without hesitation, her cry choked with sobs, but with the relief of rebirth.
