Bab 65: Chapter 65: The Ancient One's Request
"I need you to leave your world's magic knowledge in Kamar-Taj," the Ancient One said.
Lockhart was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, the Ancient One continued, "It doesn't take much, but you must leave part of the essence of your magic knowledge in Kamar-Taj."
Thoughts flashed in Lockhart's eyes. It didn't surprise him that the Ancient One was interested in the magic of the Harry Potter world. Apart from his identity as a transmigrator, the most valuable thing about him was the magic accumulated in the Harry Potter world over thousands of years. People like the Ancient One naturally grasped the most beneficial points for themselves and Kamar-Taj.
There were significant differences between the magic of Kamar-Taj and the magic of the Harry Potter world. Kamar-Taj's magic relied on the power of Vishanti, while Harry Potter's magic was rooted in emotion and willpower. Although Vishanti's power was undeniably potent, being the product of an alliance of three ancient gods, Kamar-Taj's magic could hit a ceiling, necessitating new paths for growth. In contrast, the magic of the Harry Potter world seemed limitless in its potential.
For example, a simple Transfiguration spell in the Harry Potter world, consuming only a small amount of magic, could transform an object into a living being. This process, although temporary, defied the materialism Lockhart had accepted in his previous life and hinted at immense potential. This was why he was so confident in the magic of the Harry Potter world. Otherwise, he might have switched to Kamar-Taj's magic or even Asgard's magic.
Instead, Lockhart wanted to integrate Kamar-Taj's magic into the Harry Potter magic system. In his plan, the magic of the Harry Potter world would be his primary focus, with other magics serving as supplements to help innovate.
As for the Ancient One's request, Lockhart had no intention of refusing. He believed that sharing knowledge would yield more benefits. By mastering the core and cutting-edge technology, he could continuously promote the rest, encouraging more people to join and help him. This approach had worked for him in the Harry Potter world, where he developed magic that combined various systems and ensured he mastered the most advanced magical technology. Others spent money to promote it, drawing more people to contribute to his cause.
Thus, facing the Ancient One's request, Lockhart nodded without hesitation. "Okay, Ancient One, there's no problem with this. However, with my current level, I can't say I've mastered the essence of magic. But I can guarantee that in the future, I will donate 10 magic books from our world to the Kamar-Taj Library every month. These books will be carefully selected, covering various fields, and of high quality. This will last for at least one year. I believe these books can embody the magical essence of our world and be of reference to you and Kamar-Taj."
Hearing Lockhart's reply, the Ancient One nodded slightly, indicating her approval. Lockhart was pleased and took the opportunity to quickly ask his next question.
"Sorcerer Supreme, I have another question."
The Ancient One nodded, signaling him to continue.
"A strong person like you can naturally see the uniqueness of our wizard bloodline. What I want to ask is, if I practice Kamar-Taj's magic, will there be any conflict with our magic or other adverse effects?"
This question had always worried Lockhart. The source of Kamar-Taj's magic was Vishanti's power, and Lockhart was concerned that it might conflict with his magic power and bloodline.
The Ancient One was silent for a long time, contemplating her answer. Eventually, she said, "You can rest assured about this. Vishanti's power will not adversely affect your magic power or bloodline. On the contrary, it will further develop the magic blood in your body and enhance your magic."
"Lockhart, your bloodline is very special. If you have the chance, I suggest you try to purify your bloodline," she added with emphasis.
Lockhart quickly asked what she meant, but the Ancient One waved her hand and said, "The issue of bloodline is not suitable to be discussed now. You will understand when you reach a higher level in the future."
Although confused, Lockhart firmly noted the Ancient One's advice. He recalled that Slytherin had done bloodline research and that many pure-blood families pursued pure bloodlines. The Dumbledore family's bloodline, linked to the Phoenix, might also hold some mysteries. He could explore this later.
Nodding, Lockhart indicated he understood the Ancient One's suggestion. Then, he added, "Sorcerer Supreme, I have a small request."
Lockhart had a sheepish smile as he continued, "After practicing Kamar-Taj's magic, can I borrow more books each time? I may have many doubts and need books to clear them up."
The Ancient One looked at him teasingly and said, "You shouldn't ask me about this. I remember that Master Morin, who has a good relationship with you, is also the librarian. You should discuss it with him."
Lockhart quickly nodded, understanding what the Ancient One meant. He indeed had a good relationship with Master Morin and could likely bend some rules, like borrowing more books or extending the return time. However, if the Ancient One recognized this, it would be even more beneficial.
Lockhart continued to compliment the Ancient One, praised her, and then made a request to start training. Today was just the right time. If he didn't take action now, he might miss the opportunity later. Although the probability of the Ancient One changing her mind was low, Lockhart never liked betting on odds.
