Glory To Slytherin

Chapter 68: Soul Erosion

In an unoccupied classroom, Ulysses was sitting on a chair, touching his chin with his right hand, watching the trembling tree frog monkey on the table.

Obviously Ulysses didn’t use any means to restrain it, but the pustule on its forehead flickered like crazy, looking like a funny light bulb.

“This early warning function…is it a talent? Or is it another reason I don’t know?”

Ulysses murmured that he hadn’t paid attention to this creature before, but today’s magical creature protection class gave him a surprise.

When Professor Kelborn was not paying attention, he casually grabbed a tree frog monkey, put it in his robe and brought it out.

The tree frog monkey had two paws on the ground, and its thin webs stretched out as much as possible, as if begging Ulysses to let it go.

Ulysses was silent. He was very interested in the characteristics of tree frog monkeys, but he couldn’t decide how to experiment. The idea of ​​directly killing and removing the pustule had surfaced in Ulysses’ mind, but Ulysses was not sure whether the pustule would work after the tree frog monkey died. It would be embarrassing if it turned into a pool of carrion.

After thinking for a while, Ulysses let go of the Mental Energy field and stimulated the tree frog monkey as much as possible to make it understand what he said:

“I can’t kill you, but I need you to recognize me as Lord. Can it be done?”

There was a trace of confusion in the big eyes of the tree frog monkey, but soon ecstasy emerged. It didn’t quite understand what it meant to recognize the Lord, but it felt that Ulysses had given up the idea of ​​killing it, and immediately clicked its head.

“very good.”

Ulysses whispered, took out his wand, waved it in mid-air, and drew a mysterious rune flashing with fluorescence.

Then, the magic power suddenly turned into a thin needle, piercing a drop of blood in the tree frog monkey’s hand and dripping into the rune.

This drop of blood seemed to ripple in the tree frog monkey’s mind, and it looked closer and surrendered to Ulysses.

Ulysses closed his eyes slightly, feeling an extra layer of connection between himself and the tree frog monkey.

This is an ancient one-way contract magic, specially used to take magic creatures as servants. Their life and death are all in the mind of the contractor, and they can’t affect the contractor at all.

After the contract was signed, Ulysses opened his eyes and looked at the tree frog monkey with cold eyes. The pure murderous intent burst out. The tree frog monkey who had just thought to escape from birth trembled with his legs, and his forehead was trembling. The pustule flashed like a police siren again.

At the same time, a faint sense of crisis arose in Ulysses’ heart, and this sense of crisis… came from himself.

It seems that contract magic can share the talent of the tree frog monkey with itself, but the degree of perception of danger is based on the strength of the tree frog monkey…

Ulysses thought silently, feeling a little more dissatisfied. If the tree frog monkey is used as a benchmark to perceive danger, it is useless. After all, there are too many things that can pose a threat to the tree frog monkey.

Thinking of this, Ulysses’ eyes grew colder, even thinking about killing this useless creature…

It seems that Ulysses’ strong killing intent was sensed through contract magic. The tree frog monkey’s small body shrank into a ball on the table, with tears in his big eyes, looking at Ulysses pleadingly.

The moment the tree frog monkey looked at each other, the muddy tears seemed to fluctuate in Ulysses’s heart.

‘Damn it, what’s wrong with me? ’

Ulysses was shocked and suddenly awoke, and immediately understood that this was the result of using the Avadasuo Mantra, and it was silently amplifying its own killing intent.

Ulysses used to think he was not a good person, but he couldn’t do anything to kill innocent people. But now, he would actually have a murderous intent on a magical creature that recognizes him as his master, just because its abilities are not very useful…

Ulysses’ expression became cloudy. When Dumbledore admonished him, he didn’t take it seriously, but now he was starting to find it a little tricky.

The tree frog monkey looked at him cautiously, not daring to let out the atmosphere. Ulysses showed a trace of guilt on his face, reached out his hand and touched its head lightly, and said slowly:

“Don’t worry, since you recognize me as the master, your safety will be guaranteed.”

The pustule light on the tree frog monkey’s forehead gradually dimmed. It felt that Ulysses’ killing intent was slowly receding, stretched its head, and rubbed Ulysses’s hand.

Ulysses did not retract his right hand, maintaining his posture like a sculpture. He sat quietly in place, his eyes undulating.

…

Ulysses thought about a lot of countermeasures, but none of them seemed to be of much use to this erosion of the soul.

After thinking to no avail, Ulysses went straight to the library.

Books are one of the most effective ways to purify the mind.

Mrs. Pins was still in the same gloomy appearance, and before Ulysses entered the library coldly exhorted a few words, and ignored him.

There are quite a lot of people in the library, most of them are senior students. The fifth and seventh grades are busy dealing with the upcoming O.W.Ls exam and N.E.W.T.

At this moment, they were hurrying in the library with magic books taller than people, looking like time waiting for no one.

Ulysses searched the bookshelf and found a book with a rather interesting title. He randomly found a place by the window and turned the pages warmly in the sun.

He came to the library just to relax, and did not think that there were books in the library that could solve the erosion of the soul.

Otherwise, the unforgivable curse will not be called the unforgivable curse so easily.

Ulysses has a habit of not knowing whether it is good or bad. When he reads books, he often forgets the passage of time and ignores the movements of the outside world.

I don’t know how long it took, a voice of surprise and joy suddenly sounded in my ear:

“Mr. Lestrange?”

Ulysses’ mind withdrew from the book, raised his eyes and glanced, raising his brows slightly, and saw the face of the girl who was standing not far away greeting him.

“Good morning, Granger Miss.”

Hermione was holding a thick and very old book in her arms. If you look closely, you can see “Ancient Magical Creatures Strange” written on the spine of the book.

“Morning? The afternoon class will begin in one hour, Mr. Lestrange.”

Hermione looked a little confused, and said strangely.

“Is that so…”

Ulysses looked out the window, the sun was shining, and the temperature was the highest of the day.

He smiled and changed the subject without showing a trace:

“There are not many people who come to the library in the lower grades. It seems that your first age is not a silly reputation.”

“The main reason is that I have liked reading books since I was a kid.”

Hermione smiled embarrassedly, and then hesitated, and asked, “Mr. Lestrange, do you know the origin of the snake that appeared in the hall of the duel club that day?”

“Um?”

Ulysses was taken aback for a moment, “Why are you asking this suddenly?”

Hermione looked around, turned a page of the book in her arms, and handed it to Ulysses.
