Chapter 256 Travelers Should Not Be Deeply Entangled
"I, I didn't. How is that possible!" Smaug's eyes suddenly widened and he raised his voice: "I am Smaug! The former Lord under the Mountain! The richest and most powerful dragon in Middle-earth!"
"I'm just a magician. Wouldn't it be a loss of face if the people around me wear rags? If I lose my face, wouldn't it be a loss of my master's face?"
He shouted loudly:
"I'm doing this all for the master!"
"Really?" Tang Sen gave him a thoughtful look: "Smaug, you explained too much."
"This is not like what a dark dragon that regards humans as ants would do."
"I can understand that because of my order, you will communicate with the other person's mental body every day. This experience is the first time for you. Maybe you are the person who knows her best in the world, and it is normal to have a bond. but--"
Tang Sen's tone became solemn: "Smaug, you know better than I do, there is no way she will survive."
"Actually, her life should be coming to an end soon, right?"
Smaug was silent. He glanced at the little girl and said: "Maybe there is still a month. If I keep suppressing Obscurus with my psychic ability, it will be longer. It will not exceed two months."
"So, we don't have time." Tang Sen said calmly: "Smaug, you have to know that for an Obscurial, she has lived long enough. No normal Obscurial can survive more than ten years old. ."
"Her mother——"
Townsend paused. At the mention of this word, he saw anger in Smaug's eyes, and fear in the little girl's dull expression.
So, he said again: "The witch extended her life through very cruel and evil magic, but this also made her a pure carrier of Obscurus, and this carrier is now in danger."
"No one in this world can reverse this. When I took her away from the tower, the outcome was already doomed."
Smaug opened his mouth. Of course he knew that what Tang Sen said was true. In fact, he knew this better than anyone else. He also knew that if his master hadn't brought him out, he might have died long ago. into that tall tower.
He knew that his master had always been rational and even cruel, and the purpose of taking him away was for Obscurus, so he would never change his decision due to emotional factors. He also knew that the little girl herself dreamed of death, and it would be more stupid to try to save the other person. A crueler thought too.
However, he suddenly felt some strange and unprecedented emotions accumulating in his chest. As a giant dragon who was born to be alone, he was unwilling to admit that he would actually suffer because of a humble and insignificant person from another world. Human beings feel unhappy.
This is so ridiculous!
He suddenly felt that taking the audience potion did not seem to be a good thing. This potion could affect the minds of others, but it also seemed to affect himself.
"I know." He said.
Townsend saw his emotions, but did not point them out. Such emotions may not be a bad thing for Smaug. He just said:
"I noticed that the United States has begun to take action. Maybe it's not far before Grindelwald takes action."
"I plan to go to the witch's tower and extract the Obscurus from her body. Although it is a pity that I cannot completely control the Obscurus, I have to give up taking it away, but as a disposable weapon, it should also be able to give Grindelwald a surprise."
"Okay." Smaug nodded dullly.
Townsend stood up and stared at Smaug.
"Why, do you think my decision is too cruel?"
"No, this has already been decided." Smaug did not look at Tang Sen, but said: "I will obey your orders, master."
Tang Sen was silent for a moment and said: "Smaug, you have to know that from the time you were taken away from your world by me, you have become a traveler in the heavens."
"And a traveler should not be trapped in a trap."
Arriving at the Leaky Cauldron through the Floo Network, as expected, the bar was crowded.
As the earliest venue for magicians to perform, it has become a holy place for wizards. Not only British wizards, but also foreign wizards come here every day.
Old Tom had to apply to the Ministry of Magic to use the Invisible Extension Charm on the space in the bar, making the originally cramped lobby on the first floor spacious.
As a result, more than 300 wizards spent money in the Leaky Cauldron every day. Interestingly, Tang Sen actually earned back the money he spent to buy the Leaky Cauldron, although this did not mean anything to Tang Sen.
"Professor Tang." Old Tom was still sitting behind the bar, with a proud look on his face, "The new ingredients have been cooked and brought to the restaurant upstairs."
After going through the traceless extension spell, Tang Sen finally had his own restaurant. After all, for Tang Sen's appetite, dining in the guest room was too troublesome.
It has been nearly two years since he first came to this world. Tang Sen has lost count of how many magical animals he has eaten. If he writes a guide to tasting magical animals, he may be able to become like Newt Smith. Experts on magical animals like Scamander—of course, Mr. Scamander has publicly condemned Townsend’s cruelty to magical animals many times.
Unfortunately, as a magician's right-hand man and a true fortune-teller, Mr. Scamander's protest was extremely weak, both in terms of reputation and power. The only thing he could do was to protect his suitcase. .
In short, the two years of continuous crazy eating and continuous absorption of extraordinary characteristics have greatly increased Tang Sen's strength.
The most direct thing is physical fitness. Tang Sen feels that his strength and physique are almost catching up with the dragons in this world - although the dragons in this world are not strong and can hardly exceed 20 meters in size, such power is concentrated in a human being. On the body, the visual effect is extremely shocking.
Tang Sen felt that he had no problem resisting some ordinary spells. Of course, it was a long way to be like Smaug, who could even be immune to the Death Curse.
On the other hand, there is magic power. Tang Sen cannot calculate how powerful his magic power is now, but it should not be inferior to Dumbledore. At least he can completely transform Smaug without resisting, and the transformation is Time can be compressed to less than ten seconds.
It is a pity that Tang Sen still cannot release modern magic spells smoothly. Perhaps it is because he eats too many types of magical animals and absorbs too many extraordinary properties with various effects. The magic spells he releases always carry All kinds of strange effects except the original effect of the magic spell.
Moreover, having so many types of extraordinary characteristics is not a good thing. Sometimes Tang Sen feels that his body is slowly beginning to be unable to withstand such complex characteristics. Most of these characteristics are extremely weak, but they are real. Existing within the body, many properties are even mutually exclusive.
The ability of the shepherd trait is very useful, but Tang Sen feels that this thing is like the star-absorbing method in martial arts novels, which absorbs all the complex internal forces into his body, but separates them.
For example, if you eat a lot of fire dragons, you have the ability to breathe fire. However, the strength of this ability is only affected by the extraordinary characteristics of the fire dragon. You cannot mobilize other extraordinary characteristics to enhance the characteristics of the fire dragon.
The same applies to other characteristics. Tang Sen has only eaten one thunderbird, so he has the ability to create electric current. However, because the thunderbird has too few extraordinary characteristics, this electric current is too subtle, making people feel slightly numb at most. one time.
Townsend thought he might need to find a way to combine these attributes.
If all the weak abilities he possesses can mobilize all the extraordinary characteristics in his body, then as he eats more and more extraordinary creatures, he may be able to approach omnipotence.
Coupled with the predictive ability of the fortune teller sequence——
Tang Sen vaguely grasped his future development direction.
But these were still too far away. Tang Sen quickly finished a piece of snake meat that Smaug had caught from the island country. He felt that the magic power in his body was a little stronger. He casually snapped his fingers, and the plate on the dining table turned into A light bird flew down the stairs.
He should be considered proficient in the application of Transfiguration. With the increase in powerful magic power and ancient magic itself, Tang Sen believed that he would not necessarily lose to Dumbledore if he only competed in Transfiguration.
Soon after, a giant dragon rose into the sky and headed towards the sea.
Tang Sen sat on the dragon's head. Due to his enhanced physique, the strong wind was no longer a problem. In less than half a day, the small island with a tall tower appeared in front of one man and one dragon.
Smaug circled a few times, then slowly landed in front of the tower.
Tang Sen took out his wand and chanted a few short ancient magic spells towards Smaug.
Smaug's body began to shrink rapidly, and soon he transformed into the appearance of a magician.
Tang Sen waved his magic wand again, and a few falling leaves were transformed into a body of decent clothes.
The tower was almost the same as when he first came to this world. There was no change. Tang Sen walked in with ease.
He has been to the tower more than once in the past year, on the one hand to obtain research materials on witches, and on the other hand to check the arrangement of magic patterns for extracting the Obscurus in the tower.
"Owner--"
Smaug, who was following behind, suddenly said: "I thought of another attempt, which may be able to solve the problem that Obscurus' consciousness cannot be perfectly controlled."
