Chapter 302: Mini Merlin's Ring (Second Update)
Chapter 302: Mini Merlin's Ring (Second Update)
Six weeks later.
In a marble-built inn on Greek Magic Street, which boasts intact ancient Greek architecture that drives outside archaeologists mad, Jerry is using a writing spell to control a quill, writing several letters simultaneously.
The first letter is to Hermione. Hermione and her parents had recently gone on a vacation to France, and she had sent him a few magic books purchased from the French Magic Street via the local owl post office.
Although Jerry already had these magic books, he decided to write a thank-you letter and send back a few magic books he bought from Greek Magic Street.
Additionally, he planned to send Hermione a gift, a Mini Merlin's Ring that he had crafted after researching Greek magic. The Mini Merlin's Ring is a beautiful necklace, with a gemstone at its center that he engraved with a miniaturized version of Merlin's Ring. By channeling magic power, it can help clear the mind and accelerate the learning of magic.
Creating such a necklace is no simple task. Reducing the large Merlin's Ring to fit inside a tiny gemstone involves complex magic principles and techniques.
Even Jerry spent an entire week to complete it.
So, apart from Hermione, Harry and the others would not receive this treatment, as Jerry wouldn't spend so much time crafting such a necklace for them.
Even for Hermione, part of the reason he spent the time was to test his own theories and conjectures about magic.
The second letter is to Harry, whose birthday is just a few days away. According to Ron, poor Harry has been confined at home and hasn't been allowed to go anywhere.
So Jerry sent Harry a few magic trinkets he had made on a whim. They aren't particularly useful but can be used for pranks. He also included a technique he learned from Voldemort to hide magic fluctuations, ensuring they wouldn't be detected by the Ministry of Magic.
The third letter is to Ron. Ron's father, Arthur Weasley, recently won the annual Daily Prophet Grand Prize—the Galleon Prize.
A total of seven hundred Galleons.
The family went on a trip to Egypt, where they visited their eldest son, Bill, who works as a curse-breaker at the Egyptian Gringotts Wizarding Bank.
Jerry wrote a congratulatory letter and sent him some Greek specialty snacks.
The last letter is to Snape, recounting his experiences in Greece and sending him some herbs that are only found here as a gift.
He had bought seeds of several rare herbs at low prices and used life magic to cultivate a large batch in his box space, producing so many that he couldn't use them all.
During this time, he almost explored every corner of Greece, even making a special trip to Mykonos, which was recommended by Old Tom.
He also caught a few fierce Chimera and entrusted them to the box space. He bought Three-Headed Dog, Griffin, and Hippocampus pups from some black-market Greek witches and gave them to Sun Long to raise in the box space.
Jerry had already returned Sun Long's arm guard, and Sun Long could once again use magic in the box space.
The main reason is that during this time, Sun Long has been consistently well-behaved. With the powerful Ebonthroat and Black Dwarf already in the box space, Jerry isn't worried about any treachery from Sun Long.
And having witnessed Jerry's current strength, he probably wouldn't have any ulterior motives anymore.
Most importantly, after a month and a half of studying Greek magic, Jerry had made some progress in magic and was now preparing to write magic books.
Indeed, he might still be a bit behind Snape and Dumbledore in understanding this world's magic system.
However, because he had also been exposed to three other magic systems, his overall magic strength was already on par with the most elite wizards in this world.
Even Dumbledore, he felt, wouldn't stand a chance if they were to truly fight.
So now, he planned to combine this world's theory of magic with his own insights and write a series of magic books to be published.
These magic books wouldn't contain specific spells but would introduce some new theories not found in this world.
He wanted to use this to enhance his reputation in this world.
Being just a talented Quidditch player was no longer enough for him. With his current strength, he could start laying the groundwork for his future.
Of course, writing a magic book that wasn't jarring and could resonate with this world's theory of magic, making it understandable to any witch or wizard who read it, wasn't an easy task.
It's like learning all the high school curriculum and acing the exams, but then being asked to design a similar textbook. The difficulty level is on a whole different scale.
But that's okay; he could take his time.
"What's going on? Why haven't you opened the diary and talked to me for over a month? Did you go to the Albanian Forest?"
As soon as Jerry opened Voldemort's diary, a line of accusatory text immediately appeared.
Since the last time he was at the Leaky Cauldron, Jerry hadn't opened the diary. For the past month and a half, he had almost assumed that something had been exposed and that Dumbledore had taken him away.
"Ha ha, don't get so worked up. I've been traveling in Greece for the past month, having so much fun that I forgot about it. I only remembered today, and we'll go to the Albanian Forest tomorrow."
Jerry wrote nonchalantly in the diary, a carefree smile on his face.
Voldemort in the diary fell silent for a long moment before finally writing back, "Fine", and then nothing more.
Jerry could clearly sense that Voldemort was fuming inside the diary.
He had been worried and panicked for over forty days, while Jerry had been having fun for just as long, almost forgetting about him. Anyone would be furious in such a situation.
Especially someone as proud and arrogant as Voldemort.
Now, he could only grit his teeth in the diary, determined to shatter Jerry's soul and take over his body when they went to the Albanian Forest tomorrow.
After such a long time, he had already devised a method to forcibly take over Jerry's body by working together with his main soul.
Although Jerry had never fully trusted him, he had always carried the diary and learned a lot of Dark Magic from him.
And as long as he was learning magic, a sense of trust in magic was bound to develop, allowing Voldemort to subtly attach his soul's essence to Jerry.
Once combined with the main soul, the two would merge and be able to forcibly take over the body of this exceptionally talented Slytherin wizard.
How powerful could the soul and spirit of a thirteen-year-old young wizard be?
