The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 673 Moriarty Designs a Magical AI (Part 2)

Zhang Tianxue didn't keep Moriarty waiting for long.

As Moriarty and Nicolas Flamel were chatting about interesting things happening in the Muggle world, an owl flew into the alchemy classroom.

"Poseidon, here."

Moriarty stretched out his arm, and his owl landed, carrying an envelope in its beak, and handed it to Moriarty.

The envelope had a large snowflake symbol on it; it was Zhang Tianxue's reply.

Moriarty eagerly opened the envelope, and if he was not mistaken, Ms. Zhang Tianxue should have brought him good news.

"Dear Moriarty, it is as if we are meeting in person."

"Your idea of ​​magical AI has shocked me. I realize that the emergence of magical AI will trigger social change. If I can participate in it, it will be a meritorious deed."

"I found a treasure at the Time and Space Management Bureau: the Observation Mirror. It's the Bureau's observer, used to monitor whether the timeline has changed."

"I arrived in London around 6 p.m., and I brought the observation mirror with me. I can observe the fate trajectories and billions of possibilities of parallel worlds through the mirror. This will become the basis for the infinite evolutionary capabilities of magical AI."

Moriarty put away the letter, a smile appearing on his face. Zhang Tianxue had indeed not disappointed him; she had a way to solve a core problem of the magical AI.

With this, preparations for the magical AI can begin.

Moriarty nodded to Nicolas Flamel, who eagerly climbed up from the deck chair, his aged face revealing exceptionally bright eyes.

"Clear division of labor, Moriarty, get things done quickly, don't let this old man outdo me." Nicolas Flamel teased Moriarty while preparing the tools.

"I've never lost a contest between us," Moriarty said confidently, but this task was indeed not something that could be completed in a short time.

Moriarty set himself a goal: to compile ancient and modern magical knowledge within a week, to use the Alchemy Matrix to simulate and deduce various scenarios within a week, to combine the parts completed by Zhang Tianxue within another week, and finally to combine the parts completed by Nicolas Flamel within yet another week.

Four weeks is exactly one month. If all goes well, the magical AI will be complete by October. In other words, Moriarty will be able to open the Ravenclaw Tower at the earliest by October!

Moriarty spent the entire afternoon studying magic books in the library, Ravenclaw library, the headmaster's office, and his own bedroom.

Despite Moriarty's photographic memory, memorizing all the magical knowledge from ancient and modern times within a week is not an easy task.

The Gamp family's library proved invaluable; Yurik Gamp's knowledge of magic allowed Moriarty to fully understand ancient magic.

The differences between ancient and modern magic play a significant role in the intelligence of magical AI.

Moriarty also wrote to wizards around the world who were over a hundred years old, exchanging magical insights with them; the list of names was generously provided by Nicolas Flamel and his wife.

Since Moriarty was to memorize all magical knowledge, he couldn't just memorize the magical knowledge of wizards.

"There are so many magical races in the world, and I hope to get your help."

Moriarty subtly conveyed his message to the leaders of several magical races. Just as he hadn't told the little wizard the truth, Moriarty again kept quiet this time, otherwise the Immortal Organization would easily have discovered it.

Queen Ventura and Diana readily agreed to help Moriarty, and in return, Moriarty took some time to return to Slytherin Castle to meet with the two women.

One was an elven queen, and the other a vampire queen. The two women sat at opposite corners of the sofa, their posture suggesting a comparison between them.

Upon seeing Moriarty, both women showed expressions of joy.

After a detailed discussion, Queen Ventura, on behalf of the Dark Races, agreed to Moriarty's offer to share their magical knowledge in exchange for the Dark Races being able to use the magical AI once it appeared in the world.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured on this matter. Magical AI will be accessible to the general public and will be popularized in all aspects of society. The dark races will one day use magical AI, and that day is not far off."

Hearing Moriarty's assurance, Queen Ventau nodded with great satisfaction. "With that reason, I can guarantee no one will refuse to cooperate with you."

"There's something I want to say, but is it something I should say? I need to think about it..."

Queen Ventura suddenly seemed to be deep in thought, and her gaze towards Moriarty became meaningful.

"What do you want to say?" Moriarty was puzzled. What couldn't he say?

"Very well, I'll be blunt then," Queen Ventura's beautiful eyes were incredibly moist: "When you and Violet were making love... I noticed something very, very off about Violet's soul!"

At this point, the tears in her eyes disappeared, and she said solemnly, "As for what's wrong, I can't quite put my finger on it. Anyway, there's something different about her than usual, just a tiny bit. If we didn't have the secret techniques of the vampire clan, I wouldn't have been able to notice it."

Moriarty initially looked at Queen Ventura with a strange expression. He knew about Violet's vampire secret technique of "possessing her mother," but he didn't expect that two years later, Queen Ventura would still be possessing Violet. Didn't that mean that Queen Ventura had seen them clapping...?

But the more Moriarty listened, the stranger it seemed; something was off about Violet's soul.

Why didn't he notice?

It should be noted that Moriarty's power far surpasses that of Queen Ventau.

"I'll remember that," Moriarty's expression changed slightly. "I'll keep an eye on the little tail's changes."

Queen Ventura left with peace of mind; Moriarty had already proven with his abilities that he was a trustworthy partner for the vampires.

Diana, from the other corner of the sofa, pounced on them, her beautiful eyes widening slightly: "Wow, you and little Vantor are having quite a bit of fun! How come I didn't know Queen Vantor could see you two!"

"How could you possibly know such things!" Moriarty declared matter-of-factly, looking innocently at Diana. "Does Professor Diana also want to come with us?"

"Get lost!" Diana slammed her hand on the sofa armrest. Moriarty shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity Luke has to get another sofa."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. I'll pick up Zhang Tianxue, who's coming from Kunlun, at 6 p.m.."

"Can't we stay a little longer?" Diana's expression changed swiftly as she snuggled into Moriarty's arms, resting her head on his chest. "Even an hour would be fine~"

"Every hour I stay here, Zhang Tianxue has to wait an extra hour," Moriarty said with a wicked grin. "Besides, can you even eat your fill in an hour? Obviously not. I'll spend more time with you and the rest of you after everything is over."

Moriarty withdrew, and the Ravenclaw Tower was now at a crucial moment; this was not the time for sentimentality.

At 6 p.m., Moriarty picked up Zhang Tianxue at London Heathrow Airport.

Zhang Tianxue was dressed in trendy women's clothing today, looking like a sophisticated urban woman. This was a stark contrast to her previous Hanfu attire, and it immediately caught Moriarty's eye.

"Welcome, you've come all the way from across the ocean!" Moriarty grabbed Zhang Tianxue's small hand and shook it, holding on tightly.

Zhang Tianxue blinked, symbolically shook her head a few times, but couldn't shake him off, and let Moriarty lead her by the hand.

"I was planning to take you home, but I've thought about it, and maybe you have a different opinion? I respect your choice."

Upon exiting the airport, Moriarty displayed gentlemanly conduct in choosing his accommodation.

"Alright, little gentleman~" Zhang Tianxue said to Moriarty with a smile, "Luckily you didn't act on your own. If you hadn't brought this treasure, I would have come to your house as a guest, but since you brought it, we have to go to Chinatown!"

As Zhang Tianxue spoke, she patted her bag.

"The observation mirror is inside. Promise me you won't be surprised when you use it, because it's a shortcut to understanding the multiverse up close."
