Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 398: Ring of Mind Control
Ted has been preparing for an opportunity to forge his own One Ring.

But this thing has too high requirements. The conditions for making this thing are far beyond those of the Rings of Power.

The Ring of Power is now becoming a must-have and exclusive equipment for gamers.

Everyone tries to create equipment that suits their own skill set.

Ted has more than unique and valuable Ring of Power building plans on hand.

The Ring of Power is a powerful magic item, but overall, it does not greatly enhance Ted's abilities.

To be honest, with Ted's current strength, ordinary enemies cannot make him use his full strength, so ordinary magic props are of no use at all.

Therefore, the equipment you need must be the best.

For example, Dumbledore holds the Elder Wand, and Voldemort holds the Snake Wand.

That can really improve Ted's combat effectiveness to a higher level, otherwise that little increase can only be ignored.

Even Sauron needed to specially forge the One Ring.

First of all, you have to be strong enough. Sauron injected most of his power into the One Ring to create this thing.

Ted estimated that he would have to be at least level 20 to reach the threshold.

Ted had just been promoted, but he was still four levels away, which was a long way off.

Moreover, if I were to inject my own strength into it, my own level would have to drop to level 10!
But he had a way to do this, because he could use the Utopia to accumulate experience and use it to inject into the ring.

Instead of consuming your own power and injecting it into the ring, why not consume the power of others and inject it into it? !

Let the players suffer a little more, and I will take the blame~
Then there is the materials, which is not a big problem. Ted has made a lot of good things in the past two years.

After all, who can beat him in finding bargains online and on Taobao?
Moreover, many special materials from other worlds were unknown to others, so Ted collected a lot of them.

Finally, there are special locations.

Both the forging and destruction of the One Ring requires an extremely powerful magical gathering point.

Even Hogwarts is a little bit short of that, and Hogwarts is already the largest magical hub in the British Isles.

Originally, Ted was still looking to see if he could find such a giant magic hub or node in Europe or Africa, but unexpectedly, good news came from the delivery room - Iceland was about to give birth!

Alien infiltration is a very serious problem.

If it is just a normal occurrence where some monsters, people, materials, flowers or plants appear due to space cracks, it is not a big problem.

Even in a country like Poland, if there are only monsters attacking the city, it is just a matter of defending the city and killing monsters.

But there is a very terrifying "terrain invasion" among the infiltrations of the alien world.

Like the Land of Fire that Ted had experienced, a large space was hollowed out directly underground, and the rolling lava disrupted the local ecosystem.

Up to now, the temperature in an area of ​​dozens of kilometers in diameter in the English Highlands is three to five degrees higher than other places!
Like the Resurrection Pyramid in Cairo, or the mountain monster siege in Poland, the area is even larger. It's like inserting a new puzzle piece into a complete puzzle, which will destroy the harmony and integrity of the whole.

Not to mention this repeated spatial dislocation and destruction, which is like cutting flesh with a blunt knife for this world.

It’s okay once or twice, but more than that is unbearable.

The eruption of the Philippine volcano and the changes in Iceland's entire geothermal volcanic system are all sequelae caused by this.

However, after checking, Ted discovered that the underground volcanic movement in Iceland was not a simple geomorphic activity, but was combined with some kind of alien infiltration.

This resulted in a huge magic node being formed in the lava beneath Iceland!
This huge magic node will be of continental level, enough to create the Supreme Magic Ring by yourself!

……

In the Utopia virtual practice room.

Ron: "Get ready! I'm coming!"

Jerry: "I'm ready, come on!"

Ted and Hermione heard this conversation as soon as they entered the virtual training room. They immediately looked at each other in surprise and found that each other's eyes were wide open.

Ted: Ron seems to have been single for more than half a year?

Hermione: Where's Jerry? Is he lonely without Sydney?
Ted: No way! Their friendship is so pure, how could it be possible?

Hermione: How can that be? This is Great Britain!

Then, the two discovered that Ron was controlling Unit-01 to fight against Jerry.

He wanted to try out his latest vehicle configuration to see if it worked.

Two people: That’s it?That's it?That's it, why are you two yelling so loudly?

Jerry suddenly disappeared into the shadow under his feet in the blink of an eye.

But Ron was too familiar with his friend. He saw a mechanism suddenly flip up on the shoulder of Unit-01, and eight missiles emitting exhaust gas were fired from the eight launch ports.

Although the missile was only as thick as a thumb and a dozen centimeters long, it emitted an incandescent magical light.

Eight magic flares floated in the air, emitting light. In an instant, they illuminated the surrounding area within dozens of meters with incredible brightness, and created an effect similar to that of a shadowless lamp. There was not even a trace of shadow!
Jerry popped his head out from a distance, "What the hell is this thing? It can break the invisibility, but how can it also wipe out all the shadows? Isn't it said that where there is light, there is shadow?"

That sounded like something Danzo, the Dark Pot Kage of Konoha, would say.

Ron's proud voice came out from Unit-01, "This is the shadowless and stealth-breaking magic flare that George and Fred recently developed. Transformation, phantom, invisibility, stealth... all of them are useless!"

Jerry gritted his teeth when he heard this!

Ever since Ted opened up the free research and development system, players in the game have begun to climb the technological ladder.

The so-called career balance does not exist.

Whoever comes up with something more useful and advanced deserves to suppress others.

From then on, the "arms race" among players began.

Magic flares like this one that can break stealth and illusions will definitely bring huge improvements to non-stealth professions.

Then the stealth profession needs to develop more advanced stealth, such as phase replacement. People move in the inner plane and are naturally not affected by the flares on the surface plane, and then suddenly jump out to attack the enemy.

Players are in conflict with each other and compete with each other.

It was said before that "Magic World" promoted the marriage rate and fertility rate in the wizarding world, and now it has begun to promote the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the wizarding world.

After that, Ron tried specially developed devices such as frost spray, 360° all-round shrinking ray, and light of mental retardation.

Frost spray can cover the ground within dozens of meters with a sticky frozen gas like dry ice, which will freeze the enemy's legs and greatly reduce their movement speed. It is very useful for close combat.

The full-area shrinking ray fires hundreds of small rays all around the body at once, and is used to deal with a large number of monsters. It temporarily shrinks them by more than half, and the damage caused is naturally reduced several times.

The Light of Mental Idiothood is specifically aimed at mages. Several parts of the body emit magical light, which will attract attention if you stare at it, causing your thinking activity to decrease, making you dull and stupid.

If the wizard is not careful, he will be in trouble.

After the two tried the new equipment, Ron asked Ted, "Ted, what do you think?"

Ted nodded: "I think it's good. I think you can also develop some sonic attacks. What if someone closes their eyes and uses other observation methods to fight you?"

"Yeah, that makes sense." Ron nodded and walked away thoughtfully.

Ted stopped Jerry who wanted to leave. Jerry was confused - he didn't want to stay and be a light bulb. Hermione's eyes were murderous!

Ted asked carefully, "Jerry, what has Ron been busy with lately?"

"Nothing. I was preparing for the competition. I've been resting these days, killing monsters and completing quests in the game."

"Um... I remember it's been a while since he broke up with Lavender."

"Well, about half a year."

"Then did he ever again..."

Jerry smiled, the kind of evil smile that black people give in the ring.JPG

"I feel like he's been chatting happily with someone recently. Because we were in the game, I don't know who it is. But it must be the opposite sex!"

Hermione asked, "Why does it have to be the opposite sex?"

Jerry: "He's too lazy to show his good face as a man!"

Ted: “That’s good, that’s good!”

I’m afraid this child will be suffocated and go down the same old path as the British gentlemen!
Jerry was about to leave. After all, Hermione's eyes had begun to look strange. Before leaving, he asked, "Tomorrow is Easter. Are there any activities?"

Ted shook his head. “I need to go out tomorrow. It’s important!”

Easter is a holiday after all, and it is a very magical day.

This is the perfect time!

By then, the surging underground fire in Iceland will be a great advantage!

Then hundreds of thousands of players will be your own people!

Oh, by the way, I have to update the game tonight.

If we just set everyone's level back to level 1 and say that the server crashed and the data was rolled back, the players should be able to understand that, right?

Well, I can't be that cruel. That's too cruel. Just thinking about it is cruel! No, no!
Then give everyone a choice, let everyone choose to reset their level to zero, and free up the experience points for Ted to create the Supreme Ring!
Ted: You guys contributed a lot to my ring.
So, that night, "Magic World" carried out a two-hour online hot update. This means that you don't have to delay playing, and you don't have to log off, the game will update itself.

In order to make everyone willing to reset the level to zero and upgrade again, Ted also took a lot of pains.

"Reincarnation, have you heard of it?" There is no need for a second reincarnation, but this time it must be reincarnated once. The Supreme Ring is still waiting for everyone, right?

Moreover, after reincarnation, one will gain certain character enhancements, with attributes and skills retained to a certain extent, and more importantly, will be able to get a chance to be reborn.

In the past, no matter how awesome you were, even at the highest level, if you died, your character was dead. You could only create a new character and start over.

Now, as long as you choose to reincarnate actively, the equipment, props, materials, gold coins, etc. in the package and warehouse can be retained.

More importantly, your relationship with NPCs and various forces can also be retained.

For example, you finally raised your favorability with a beautiful NPC to 80, and you are about to enter into a romantic relationship. Who would be willing to do that? You have been trying to capture her for months!
Now, as long as I upgrade again, I can have an extra life. That's such a great insurance.

Besides, a lot of my stuff was preserved, so it would be very easy to kill the monster again.

Isn't it just an upgrade? Who hasn't died eight or ten times? I'm so used to it.

That night, nearly 50,000 players chose to reincarnate!
Moreover, the first batch of 50,000 players are all max-level players!
Ted: Great, great, the people are here!
……

Iceland was already silent at midnight.

Since there was an earthquake and ground fissure in Iceland two days ago, many people left the place that day.

This isolated island, located in the westernmost part of Europe and close to the Arctic Circle, is densely mountainous, and one-eighth of its area is covered with ice and snow all year round.

But the places not covered by ice and snow are very habitable and not cold at all. This is partly due to the warm Atlantic current and partly due to the volcanic lava underground.

But now, the lava has become deadly.

In some cities, the ground cracked into a size of more than half a meter wide and more than ten kilometers long. The cracks were bottomless and white steam gushed out from time to time.

The ground on both sides of the crack is no longer on the same plane. One side is raised high while the other side is sunken. The level difference is more than one meter, as if there is some huge monster underground that is about to turn over!
Just throughout yesterday, there were more than 1,400 earthquakes of varying sizes, and it felt like the entire island was about to be torn apart.

Now most of the people have been evacuated and the local airport has been closed.

Ted looked down from the sky and saw only a small patch of lights to the southeast of the island; the rest of the country was in darkness.

"It's good this way, no one will bother me."

Ted threw his cape behind him and flew towards a dark volcano in the distance.

After some exploration, it was discovered that this place is very close to the Leyline Magic Network node, but that node is not on the surface and has to go deep underground.

Ted landed in the crater. The crater that was supposed to be rock had shattered, and a large amount of thick smoke rolled out. A faint red light could be seen inside the crater.

Ted wiped his face with his hand and put on full body protection.

Not to mention the high temperature, even the thick smoke is poisonous.

Ted slowly descended into the crater and kept searching. Finally, he found a very obvious crack in the ground less than ten meters away from the lava, which was big enough for a cow to squeeze in easily.

This way you don't have to dig it yourself.

Ted kept following the underground cracks, heading deeper underground. The temperature was high along the way, and from time to time he could see some lava pools or solidified magma.

It's not very safe here. But luckily Ted is a wizard and can leave whenever he wants.

We kept going down, and after 20 minutes, the slope had turned into a steep cave. The temperature also dropped a lot, indicating that we were quite far from the volcano.

This actually made it easier for Ted to move forward because he could fly!
The speed of vertical descent was very fast. After falling slowly for five or six minutes, Ted had probably reached a location about ten kilometers underground.

At this time, Ted realized something was wrong. Why did he seem to become warmer?

He looked around carefully and even found soil in the cracks of the rocks!
what's the situation?
After moving forward for another ten minutes, something incredible happened: we found water!

It’s not surprising that there’s groundwater, but why is there moss by the water?
How deep is this?!

But the truth is, what is moss? There are ferns!
It was more than half a person's height, and the leaves were very large and thick. When Ted held it in his hand, it felt like a piece of rubber, heavy!

Ted weighed it and decided that he probably couldn't bite it!
But even though he couldn't bite it, he enjoyed eating things like snails.

A snail the size of a bicycle is slowly nibbling on a fern.

There are actually living creatures underground? They are giant snails!
"I wonder if the kitchen elf would be willing to make French baked snails?" Ted shook his head and walked around the big snail and continued on his way.

It was even more exciting after that. There was light in the underground space. Although it was not very bright, it was enough for seeing things.

Large areas of plants began to appear, not only ferns, but also many woody plants, so much so that in the huge underground cavity that appeared in front, huge trees more than ten meters high appeared.

More animals appeared, even mammals and birds.

Ted held out his hand and let the bird land on it.

After all, he is loved by everyone and flowers bloom when he appears, so the small animals subconsciously have a good impression of him.

This bird is no different from an ordinary bird. It is very small, but it emits a faint blue fluorescence all over its body.

And small birds like this one actually exist in large numbers.

There were a large number of mushrooms that were two or three stories high and as hard as rocks, ferns that were more than one meter tall, and unknown flowers... It was as if I had come to a country of giants.

Ted slapped a stealthy carnivorous plant in the face and knocked it unconscious.

"This underground world is not without dangers."

As soon as he said this and walked forward, he found a bone behind a large patch of leaves.

This bone is thicker than my waist. But if I look closely, I find it is just a piece of forearm bone!

Ted rose into the air and saw the whole picture of the huge skeleton. It must be 20 to 30 meters tall!
It actually looks like a humanoid! Could it be a giant?

It’s not just an ordinary giant, it’s a sky giant, right?
Then I saw the skull, and the shape wasn't right.

There's something wrong with this head! If it's a giant, it's also a giant ape...

Continuing forward, Ted encountered another Tyrannosaurus Rex. It is said that Ted is loved by everyone, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex also loves him, but he loves to eat him. Ted directly grabbed him with his mind power and threw him!

After beating up the Tyrannosaurus Rex and continuing to move forward, Ted saw another underground sea!

It was truly an endless underground sea. He flew to the rock formation above his head, more than a hundred meters above the ground, and all he could see was still water.

There is such a large water source in this underground world!

And Ted also understood what was glowing underground. It turned out to be countless glowing fungi on the ceiling.They are always shining a light on the flora and fauna below.

Ted flew over the underground sea and stopped at a place with an abnormal magnetic field. The rocks here were suspended in mid-air.

Ted glanced at the magic meter. The magic reaction here was very large, and judging by the fluctuations, it was natural magic, so he wouldn't run headfirst into the mouth of some giant monster.

Ted paddled downwards as if he were swimming, but because of the abnormal magnetic field, it was even more difficult to go downwards.

After another ten minutes, the two-kilometer-long magnetic field anomaly area disappeared, and Ted began to fall. He steadied himself and continued to fall.

The temperature gradually increased, and the rocks became hot to the touch. He seemed to have entered another underground world.

"Ding ding ding~" the magic meter began to hum. The ground network was found!

Next, just follow this thread to find the nodes!
……

In the midst of a fiery red flowing lava, a huge piece of obsidian stood motionless.

On the obsidian platform, an alchemical circle has been drawn.

It was a magic circle drawn with precious materials made of refined gold mixed with mithril powder and many gemstones.

In the middle of the circle is a square, in the middle of the square is an equilateral triangle, in the middle of the triangle is a vertical line, and at the center of the vertical line is an anvil.

Ted took out his magic hammer. Just using alchemy to make this hammer had cost him at least two thousand Galleons worth of materials.

Then various metal materials began to be taken out one by one.

There was a red metal fragment that looked like a piece of machinery, and another thin metal fragment with blue and white stripes painted on it.

I always feel that at a certain point in time, this world is connected to the Marvel world that is fighting Thanos, and it is a frontal battlefield.

This thing feels like fragments of the Iron Man suit and the Vibranium Shield - it looks like it took a pretty bad beating!
Ted glanced at the time and looked up again. Although there was dozens of kilometers of earth's crust above his head, Ted knew that the planet had arrived at the correct position!
The alchemical array was activated, and the metals began to liquefy, gradually merging into each other and becoming incandescent.

The liquid metal was suspended in the air, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, so high that ion sparks began to fly.

Ted controlled the magic circle, and the lines of the magic circle emitted a dazzling light. It operated at full power, violently tempering the material, reducing the lump of metal as big as a human head to a small piece the size of a fingernail.

All the magic metals finally merged into one, and all the impurities that shouldn't have been there were burned to ashes...

Finally, a metal ring appeared.

Ted placed the ring on the anvil and began to strike it with the magic hammer. The sound grew louder and louder, and the surrounding lava began to vibrate, rippling like water in a cup...

As Ted hammered down one by one, a large amount of experience from the "Magic World" was injected into the ring.

Ted kept hammering and hammering, and the sweat all over his body began to fall off with the movement. A vague power began to emerge from the ring, affecting everything around it, as if a layer of vague ripples enveloped the space.

At this time, on the ground of Iceland, "earthquakes" came rhythmically in waves, a large number of cracks spread on the earth, countless white smoke and steam spewed out, and the land seemed to be about to shatter!

Finally, Ted took out a gem the size of a grain of rice - it was the mind gem that he had created by using the mental power he had accumulated over several months in Utopia.

The moment the gem was placed on the ring, a pulse of energy mixed with mental power and magic swept out.

The whole of Iceland trembled violently, and then there was no movement.

The volcano subsided, the ground fissures stopped, and the earthquakes that occurred all the time also stopped. Everything returned to peace.

An inconspicuous ring appeared in Ted's hand, with a silver-white ring body and a white crystal inlaid on it.

On the inside of the ring, there is a sentence engraved - the mind is more important than things!
The Supreme Ring, the Ring of Mind Control of the Harper World Ring, was born!
