Hogwarts: From Selling White Peppers to Becoming a God

Chapter 46 Flying Spell and the Western-Style Mansion

Murphy rubbed his shoulders, which ached from writing.

Damn it, this guy finally took the bait.

It was worth all the effort I put into writing this.

Although deceiving Voldemort seems pretty impressive.

But in reality, the diary is just like a 16-year-old boy who is deaf and blind, has a confused sense of time, and can only access the outside world through information given by others. Even if he is a bit bad, how could he possibly deal with a conman like Murphy, who has superb acting skills and spoiler information?

Ultimately, Murphy was simply bullying a disabled person, and his victory was hardly honorable.

At this moment, the diary, which has already been thoroughly misled, is trying its best to demonstrate its value in order to survive.

Diary entry: "I can teach you a lot of magic, as well as potion-making, and the crafting of magical items..."

Murphy interrupted him, questioning, "Why didn't you say anything before? It's been over half a year, and I've written so many diary entries. You should have seen them every time, right? You knew I needed your help, right? Why didn't you say anything?"

journal:"……"

How could I have known time would pass so quickly!

I'm just a diary. I can't see the outside world, so how would I know that more than half a year has passed? Often, before I've even figured out what happened, you've already started updating your diary!

But the diary couldn't say that. He replied, "Perhaps the disturbance of time has caused problems with my perception. I only recently woke up."

Murphy: "So you're Voldemort?"

Diary entry: "Yes."

Murphy: "What can you teach me? Show me a list of things you know. I want to decide for myself what to learn."

Diary entry: "Learning magic must be done step by step..."

Murphy: "I don't have time, or would you rather I hand you over?"

journal:"……"

Suddenly, a list filled with dense handwriting unfolded on the diary, extending for more than ten pages.

This list has three lines: "Spells, Potions, Magical Knowledge".

Murphy glanced at it briefly and saw that there were a couple hundred spells alone, including the three Unforgivable Curses, which were very comprehensive.

There are also many kinds of potions, including many that Murphy has never even heard of.

The knowledge of magic is all-encompassing, including magical creatures, the creation of magical items, flying techniques, the history of magic, and more.

It seems Tom is really going to use all his skills to survive.

Murphy was somewhat surprised that the diary had organized his memories quite comprehensively. Perhaps this was due to the unique nature of diaries as a medium.

Moreover, this guy really knows a lot; he's definitely diligent and eager to learn!

He took pictures of these lists in case they later denied them.

Murphy: "Flight Charm, I'll learn that first."

He disliked flying brooms, and teleportation techniques like Apparition had the limitation of requiring prior travel to the destination. Murphy had long coveted true flying magic.

Diary entry: "This is a spell I created not long ago... I mean, when I was younger. It's not perfect yet, but overall, it can envelop a human body in a layer of shadowy substance, thus lifting the wizard up and enabling flight."

Murphy marveled at the words: "A 16-year-old who created his own flying magic, truly a genius."

Although Snape, who created magic such as the Upside-Down Bell and the Shadowless Sword at the age of fifteen or sixteen, was already a genius, Tom's genius surpassed even that.

Looking at myself, I realized that when I was 16, I hadn't even mastered the standard spells.

This is the difference between top students and underachievers.

Ignoring Murphy's sentiments, the diary continued its explanation: "To learn it, you need considerable talent and a lot of practice. However, since this is magic I created, if you can follow my steps, you can basically learn it in a week at most."

"We don't have that much time. I need to learn it in two days at most!"

"Two days...that's difficult."

"I don't want to die, and I think you feel the same way. If I can't learn this spell within two days and thus avoid the Arasaka Company, either I hand you over, or we both die. Which do you think I would choose?"

"Okay, let me think. Perhaps we can skip those unnecessary steps and get straight to the point. Two days should be enough!"

Murphy smiled. "You're getting the hang of it, Tom."

……

In September, the first phase of the Umbrella Biotechnology R&D Base was officially completed.

Murphy directly dismantled and reorganized the three research institutions he had acquired from Wellcome and Jelicon, and moved them all into the Baixian R&D base.

The preparation process of White Dew Essence has been completely demystified.

Even the white peony itself is not a particularly conspicuous magical plant, and it also has a close relative of the white peony in the Muggle world.

Therefore, Murphy believed that allowing Muggle researchers to conduct research on magical white magic did not require strict surveillance of the wizarding world.

After all, licorice isn't something that only exists in the magical world. It makes sense that Muggles discovered a mutated form of licorice and created a potion with similar effects to licorice essence.

In fact, some magical potions in the wizarding world, such as Potter's shampoo, have undergone a similar process.

Even if you wizards discover the use of something first, you can't stop Muggles from discovering and using it, can you?

Even so, basic confidentiality measures are still necessary.

In addition to signing intellectual property agreements with the researchers, Umbrella Corporation also hired two security teams from the Chemical Risk Group to protect the company's research findings.

One of the units is stationed at the base, providing 24-hour security services.

After more than half a year of research, the Bai Xian research team has actually achieved quite a few results.

The most significant achievement was the isolation of one of the core active ingredients from the original extract of Dictamnus dasycarpus extract, namely Dictamnus dasycarpus activator.

The project, codenamed BX5465-P, can accelerate the overall metabolism and proliferation of cells by hundreds of times.

Although it is not yet possible to synthesize this growth promoter artificially, researchers have found a more efficient way to produce it, and more than twenty related patents have been applied for.

Due to the remarkable accelerating effect of dictamnus glycosides on cell biology research, several articles with Umbrella Corporation as the first author have caused a sensation in the biosphere. They have already secured the Lasker Award for Medicine for the following year and are very likely to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in a year or a few years.

And this is just the first pot of gold mined from the flavoring of euphorbia pekinensis.

The secrets of eugenol flavoring are still largely hidden, and all the researchers involved believe that a Nobel Prize is by no means the end for this research base.

In addition to the White Fresh Research Institute, another research base secretly built by Murphy was also completed.

It was an ultra-luxurious manor house in Staffordshire, covering 35 acres, with a four-story European-style castle building in the center, containing 98 rooms, and was protected around the clock by the second team of the Self-Help Group.

The underground area is a secret zone.

Following Murphy's instructions, the builders excavated 100 meters underground and constructed a 19-story underground fortress with 5-meter-thick concrete exterior walls.

This is Murphy's home in the Muggle world, and also his Number One Spell Lab.

He named this luxurious villa "Western-style Mansion".

At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor of the mansion, Murphy is welcoming his guests.

Please read on! Promise me you'll read to the end!
