Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Chapter 62: The True Face of Ancient Magic

Theo immediately felt uneasy, "You wouldn't... be like Professor Isidora Morganach, leaving a large group of ancient magic power underground in Hogwarts, would you?"

"No." The senior shook her head.

"Oh... you scared me..."

Theo was indeed taken aback. He thought that the senior couldn't resist the temptation in the end, and followed Professor Morganach's example, also hoarding a large group of ancient magic power underground in Hogwarts.

That would really be a dragon slayer turning into an evil dragon.

"In fact, it's not just one group, it's many groups. These ancient magic powers are scattered around Hogwarts, you can absorb them..." The senior continued.

Theo's heart that had just been put down was raised again.

"Senior, you... the little gift you mentioned, wouldn't it be these ancient magic powers? I... I don't dare to absorb too much ancient magic power for the time being..."

The senior waved her hand, stopping Theo's words, and then with a flip of her hand, a black, red, and silver mist appeared in her palm.

"You don't dare to absorb this power, do you?"

Theo nodded.

"Actually, you don't have to worry at all, because this is not ancient magic power at all. Real ancient magic power can be absorbed as much as you want." The senior smiled.

Theo asked in surprise, "This is not ancient magic power? But... I just accidentally absorbed a small bottle, and then I awakened ancient magic?"

"Because although this is not ancient magic power, it is also an alternative power that can strengthen ancient magic. You absorbed this power, so you can naturally awaken ancient magic in advance... You should have heard Professor Dumbledore tell you about Professor Morganach, right?" The senior asked.

Theo nodded, "He told me a rough idea, but the details are not very clear."

In fact, Theo didn't officially complete that game before he crossed over. He only knew some general information about the content of ancient magic and some characters.

And when Dumbledore retold it to him, because Dumbledore himself was not a witness, he just heard others say it. He didn't even know as much as Theo, so he couldn't tell too much detail.

The senior continued, "You will understand after I tell you the general story of what happened back then..."

"When Professor Morganach was studying ancient magic, she accidentally discovered that ancient magic can extract other people's negative emotions..."

"And because of the accidental death of her brother, her father was too sad and hadn't spoken for a long time. So, Professor Morganach used this magic on her father to keep him from suffering."

"After she extracted all the sad emotions from her father's heart... there was another unexpected discovery."

The senior sent the mist to Theo, and continued, "When using ancient magic to extract other people's negative emotions, a residue will be produced... This residue can strengthen the power of ancient magic!"

Theo's eyes widened, "You mean, these black mists are actually a kind of power produced by the combination of negative emotions and ancient magic, not pure ancient magic power?"

"That's right." The senior continued, "At the beginning, after Morganach's in-depth research, she found that this 'residue' was comparable to a magic power enhancer. It could not only make the ancient magic of ancient magic users more powerful, but also strengthen the magic power of other people who could not use ancient magic!"

Theo frowned, "How is this possible?"

The senior said, "This is the truth. After Professor Morganach discovered this, she couldn't restrain her desire for power, and used the convenience of being a professor at Hogwarts to extract all the negative emotions of the students at Hogwarts at that time, and then stored these residues in several secret vaults..."

"Although she was killed just after she started her plan... the secret vaults she left are still there."

"Because the containers for storing this residue were made by goblins, many years after Professor Morganach's death... that was when I first came to Hogwarts."

"A goblin named Ranrok accidentally found the diary of the goblin who helped make the container, and learned of the existence of this power."

"He believed that this power was the magic power that wizards stole from goblins and hid. So, he decided to find all these powers, and then return them to the goblins, so that the goblins would become stronger! No longer bullied by wizards."

"Ranrok was very smart. He found all the secret vaults except the one underground in Hogwarts, and absorbed all the 'residues' in those secret vaults with his subordinates..."

"In the end, Ranrok and his followers had a big battle with us underground in Hogwarts."

"The goblins who absorbed the 'residues' were strengthened and were really difficult to deal with, especially Ranrok... Even my teacher, Professor Fig, could hardly resist his attack."

"In the end, he even succeeded in absorbing all the 'residues' underground in Hogwarts, directly transformed into a powerful fire dragon, and launched a fierce attack on me!"

Theo listened intently, and couldn't help asking, "What happened then?"

The senior shrugged, "Then, I killed him."

Theo was slightly stunned. The senior was using the most plain tone to pretend to be the most ruthless! It seemed that I still needed to improve in the way of pretending!

Ranrok, who had absorbed almost all the residues of the secret vault and made himself extremely powerful, still knelt in front of the senior... He was indeed the strongest transfer student.

"After defeating Ranrok, the residues he absorbed escaped again... I think this power should not be buried, it should all belong to me! So, I absorbed them all." The senior sighed, "After absorbing these powers, I found that the temptation of this residue to me was even greater than ancient magic itself..."

Theo understood a little, "So, what you absorbed was not ancient magic power... but this 'residue' that can strengthen ancient magic power?"

The senior nodded.

"Then... what is the real ancient magic... that is, the one you just said can be absorbed?" Theo couldn't help asking.

The senior put away the black mist in her hand, and then snapped her fingers.

A group of mercury-like magic energy appeared in front of Theo.

"This is the purest ancient magic power... Of course, this group is just what I used Nightmare Magic to transform according to the appearance in my memory."

"These purest ancient magic powers are scattered around Hogwarts, and only those who have the ability of ancient magic can find their traces."
