My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 167, Section 164: Improved Animagus

This library isn't very big; it's about the size of three study rooms in Lynn's house.

Lynn and Yelena entered the historic room, which was clearly not the small wooden cabin they had seen outside.

Although the library is not large, it has a high dome, and sunlight shines in through the colorful stained glass, making the small space appear exceptionally bright and airy.

Lynn stared blankly at the sunlight. He clearly remembered that when they came in, the sky outside had been completely dark, yet here the sunlight was still shining in.

Either they have crossed a hemisphere and arrived on the other side of the earth, or the thing emitting sunlight is not the sun at all.

Either way, it demonstrated that this library was extraordinary. He turned to look at Yelena.

"Was this library built by a wizard from the Kingdom of Su?"

Yelena shook her head: "The spellbooks here are all written in ancient runes. My companions and I are the discoverers of this library, but we don't know who built it."

She pointed to the boundary of the library: "There used to be a lot more books here, but we moved a lot of them out. As the number of books on the shelves decreased, the library shrank on its own. It used to be very big, but now there are only these books left."

Lynn walked around the library and found that there were only 6 bookshelves left, but each bookshelf was full, with covers written in ancient runic script.

"You'd better hurry up and figure out what you want. We'd better leave Mexico tonight. I have a feeling the later we leave, the more likely we are to run into trouble," Yelena said worriedly.

Lynn didn't take her words to heart; sometimes a woman's intuition is accurate.

He started by quickly browsing the magic books from the first shelf.

Although ancient runes were a course that only senior students could take at Hogwarts, Lynn was not unfamiliar with these scripts because some of the advanced knowledge he learned from Professor Fawkes when he was studying dark magic.

After looking through the bookshelves, Lynn discovered that the books on them weren't real magic books; rather, they were more like notes taken by many wizards while conducting magical research.

Judging from the notes, their experiments were very professional, and the procedures were basically the same as those in modern scientific research. There were about six steps, from raising questions to drawing conclusions, and finally expressing and communicating the whole process. It was a very logical and pleasing process to watch.

Immediately, Lynn became envious of all the books in the collection. He not only saw experiments and deductions on the evolution of ancient spells into modern spells, but at the very end of the second bookshelf, he was also pleasantly surprised to find a theory about diffusion spells.

However, the theory here only extrapolated to the steps of implementing the plan. For some reason, the author of this notebook did not reach a final conclusion. Precisely because of this, the contents of the notebook are purely theoretical, not as complete or feasible as the knowledge of black magic diffusion that Professor Fox taught him. These things were somewhat helpful to him, but the help was very limited.

Lynn left the magic notebook behind, intending to take it with her when she left.

He didn't say he was only taking one book when he came. Lynn felt Yelena's life couldn't be so cheap; it should at least be worth... a whole library of books.

Unfortunately, even with his large pockets, he couldn't fit six rows of bookshelves. Lynn could only drool over these magic notes and then pick out the ones he needed most.

He continued searching and soon made another discovery.

This is a magical notebook about transfiguration, specifically for conducting experiments to improve the Animagus.

The author of the notebook had a very bold idea: he felt that while the Animagus of wizards was convenient, it also had great limitations. Once the Animagus turned into an animal, it could no longer use the wizard's abilities, and once it turned into a human, the advantages of being an animal could not be demonstrated.

So he wanted to improve the Animagus, hoping to find a form that would allow wizards to retain their basic human form while also possessing the animalistic advantages of the Animagus.

For example, Professor McGonagall's Animagus is a cat. If she could have the agility and reflexes of a feline in her wizarding state, her combat power would be greatly enhanced.

For example, the Animagus, a bird, like Lynn's raven. If Lynn could be made to undergo partial transformations while maintaining his human form, such as turning the bones in his back into bird wings, wouldn't he be able to fly in the sky without the aid of a flying broom?

When Lynn saw this, he was incredibly excited.

If the experiment in the notes is ultimately successful, then he will have truly struck gold this time.

Lynn patiently read through the entire magic notebook, page by page.

The author of this book was not conducting this magical experiment alone; he had many like-minded partners, all of whom were renowned Transfiguration masters in the magical world at the time, and each of them was proficient in the advanced Transfiguration technique of Animagus.

The experiment was extremely difficult, and some of them even became half-human, half-animal monsters permanently because their transformation failed.

Just when the authors of this notebook were about to give up, one of them actually succeeded in the end!

The wizard's Animagus form was a pigeon. Just as they had initially guessed, he sprouted white, pigeon-like wings on his back, allowing him to fly in the sky without the aid of a flying broomstick and still use spells normally.

Finally, they summarized their successful experiences and lessons learned from their failures and found that learning this modified Animagus Transfiguration technique required extremely stringent requirements, including exceptional physical plasticity.

The learner's body is more suited to shapeshifting than that of other wizards; specifically, they must have a natural talent for shapeshifting.

Like that one and only successful wizard, he was a born disguise Magus!

Simply put, the learning conditions for this modified Animagus are to be born with the ability to disguise as an Animagus, and at the same time, to learn the Animagus skills later in life.

Coincidentally, Lynn perfectly fits the criteria.

After reading the entire Magic Notebook, Lynn silently closed it without expression.

This transformation technique seemed tailor-made for him, and his heart was certainly not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Yelena and her group discovered this library first, and they've almost completely emptied it, meaning she's basically read all the magic notes, or at the very least knows their contents.

If Lynn makes her intentions too obvious, she will definitely guess something after seeing this notebook, and then his two kinds of Magus will be exposed.

So Lynn suppressed his excitement and pretended not to mind placing the magic notebook on top of the notebook about the spread of dark magic.
