[Remaining purchase time: 256 days. 】
[The quality of the goods purchased this time has reached the theoretical maximum. Congratulations, you have completed a perfect purchase. 】
[When the hidden conditions are triggered, you will be able to choose one of the following options as an additional reward for a perfect purchase. 】
[Option 1: During non-purchase tasks, you will be eligible to enter and stay in this world at will, but except for your own characteristics and rewards, you cannot bring anything out or into this world. (Select this option, and the time flow rate of the current world will be the same as that of the host world.)]
[Option 2: You can choose an additional thing you have come into contact with in this world as your reward. 】
[Option 3: You get an opportunity to strengthen your existing rewards or characteristics. 】
The moment Tang Sen announced to the world that he had become the Dark Lord, a large number of words appeared in Tang Sen's field of vision.
The procurement task was completed at this moment.
This was not unexpected by Tang Sen. Everything he did and said after he came to this world was for this moment.
He never intended to really lead the magic world to achieve change. The subsequent plans were just words to Tang Sen. His plan ended when he completely unified the magic world.
So of course Grindelwald couldn't understand why Townsend would personally overthrow the wave of change he had set off. No one would know that this leader of change could only stay in this world for a short three years, and no one would have thought that his initial The purpose is just to become a Dark Lord.
An unprecedented Dark Lord who stands on the opposite side of wizards all over the world.
In fact, if you just want to simply complete the procurement task, you don't need to go through such a big circle and make things so troublesome. However, the position of the Dark Lord is not a fixed commodity like Davy Jones's heart. , it is a kind of status, and status is naturally different from status to status.
Obviously, taking his position away from Voldemort is the easiest way, but the scope of the impact is too narrow. The Dark Lord's status is only in a land like England, and not every British wizard will admit this.
To initiate changes, unify the magic world around the world, and make oneself the enemy of the whole world is another status. Tang Sen believes that except for those losers in the change, all wizards will admit it from the bottom of their hearts. His own status as the Dark Lord.
Tang Sen did not want to choose the easy method. Although the latter method was more difficult, the quality of the purchased goods would definitely be higher.
There is no doubt that higher quality items can be exchanged for better feature rewards.
For example, the heart of Davy Jones in the first world was only exchanged for a one-time characteristic, and the effect was not very powerful. However, the ownership of the Doomsday Volcano in the second world directly gave him extremely powerful abilities. Strong fire resistance.
Then, what the Dark Lord in England could exchange for could never be the same as what the world-recognized Dark Lord could exchange for.
Of course, he didn't expect an unexpected surprise.
“Perfect purchase?”
Indeed, judging from the purchasing task, I have maximized the value of the goods.
There is an extra reward for completing the perfect purchase, which can be regarded as unintentional.
"The rewards for the three options are quite generous."
Tang Sen quickly chose between the three options.
"On the face of it, the first option is the best. After all, this way I have a world that I can go back and forth at any time. But if I think about it carefully, although I can go back and forth at any time, I can't take anything with me. In other words, I can go back and forth at any time. , if I choose this option, all I can gain is the magical knowledge of this world and a steady stream of extraordinary properties about magical animals."
"Most of the magical knowledge in this world is already in my memory. Even the magical knowledge that belongs to some families' treasures, I will have time to acquire in the future, and the flesh and blood of magical animals - the world has extraordinary There are too many creatures with special characteristics. If a method is not found to perfectly control the complex extraordinary characteristics in the body, then the uncontrolled accumulation of extraordinary characteristics in the body will be harmful and useless."
Tang Sen could already feel the imbalance of the extraordinary characteristics in his body. If it weren't for the increased physical fitness gained from eating dragon meat, his body would have collapsed long ago.
"So the first option seems good, but the benefits are not that great."
"The second option is simple and crude, an additional opportunity to choose rewards."
The number of rewards for completing procurement tasks is extremely precious. Each world can basically only get one chance to receive a reward. Tang Sen has experienced three worlds, and the rewards he received from the three worlds have brought him great benefits.
Needless to say, the Aztec gold coins rewarded in the first world. Without this thing, Tang Sen would have been dead long ago. This reward also played a big role in the second world.
Although Townsend no longer needs Aztec gold coins to form an army of the undead, and Smaug has perfectly replaced his need for combat power, there is no doubt that this thing is still useful, whether it is used to hang one's life, or They are perfect props to use to threaten others.
As for the reward of the second world, there is no need to go into details about the role played by the dragon Smaug. A dragon that is very powerful in itself and can continue to grow can completely accompany him through many worlds.
The rewards from the third world gave Tang Sen extraordinary power for the first time, greatly enhancing his self-preservation and planning abilities.
Moreover, the particularity of rewards is not only the thing itself, but that all rewards absolutely belong to oneself and can be collected in the consciousness space at any time, and will not be lost like other foreign objects.
There are obviously many things worth taking away from this world, such as the magic stone - or the potion of immortality made directly from the magic stone.
But Tang Sen thought carefully for a moment and gave up this option. After all, the world of Harry Potter is just a world of low magic. Obscurus is already a relatively top-notch thing in this world. There is no need to waste a precious option. In order to take away a potion of immortality. This thing can't make people live forever.
So that leaves only the third option.
"An opportunity to enhance an existing bonus or characteristic."
The description in the text is a bit vague, and Tang Sen cannot guess what the degree of this strengthening is and what the direction of the strengthening is.
But there is no doubt that the rewards and characteristics you possess are the basis for your purchase in the future world. Naturally, the stronger the better.
Among the two characteristics and three rewards he has, Aztec gold coins and fire resistance are obviously the first to be excluded.
The rest are: Smaug the dragon, the shepherd trait and the potion ability of the diviner sequence.
One characteristic, two rewards, corresponding to the strengthening directions of followers' combat effectiveness, own combat effectiveness and future growth.
"Smaug has an IQ that is not weaker than that of humans. He will definitely be able to find many ways to make him stronger in the future. There is no need to waste such a precious strengthening opportunity."
"The same is true for my own diviner potion ability. This ability obtained from the world of the Lord of Mysteries has limitations, and it is difficult to predict whether there will be a follow-up path."
"So, strengthening your own growth should be the best choice."
Tang Sen was just worried about the burden his complex Extraordinary characteristics would bring to his body. After thinking about it, he thought silently in his heart.
"I choose option three to strengthen my shepherd characteristics."
[The characteristics of the shepherd have been strengthened. 】
[Characteristics: Shepherd. 】
[You can obtain part of the extraordinary characteristics of the swallowed creature by devouring flesh and blood. You can control, fuse, and even strip away the extraordinary characteristics you possess to a certain extent. 】
The text appeared in Tang Sen's field of vision. It was obvious that compared with the previous shepherd characteristics, the enhanced shepherd characteristics did have different content.
In the past, devouring flesh and blood could only obtain weak extraordinary properties, but now the text is "part of it".
In other words, the absorption efficiency becomes higher.
And there is one more sentence at the end, he can control, fuse and peel off the extraordinary characteristics in his body.
This is definitely good news. Tang Sen can feel that his sense of the extraordinary characteristics in his body has indeed begun to become clearer——
In the past, Tang Sen could only rely on the characteristics and power of those extraordinary characteristics to distinguish, but now, Tang Sen is able to see the essence of the extraordinary characteristics in his body.
"There are thirty-seven species in total."
These are the types of extraordinary characteristics in Tang Sen's body, and the effects each type brings to him clearly emerge in Tang Sen's mind.
For example, the physical fitness and the ability to control fire brought by the fire dragon, the muscle strength brought by the Thestral and the ability to be invisible in front of people who have never seen the dead, or the keen perception and the ability brought by the Acromantula. The ability to produce venom.
These abilities are in play all the time. Before, Tang Sen could not turn them off at all, but now, Tang Sen can choose to temporarily disable the extraordinary characteristics of Yeqi or Acromantula, or even directly fuse these two extraordinary characteristics. Get up and become a new extraordinary characteristic.
This is a complicated matter, and it is obviously not suitable to study it in depth now, because in front of Tang Sen, there are wizards who are extremely angry.
From the words that the procurement mission was completed to Tang Sen's choice from the hidden rewards, it only took a few seconds at the speed of Tang Sen's thoughts. During these few seconds, the wizards were still immersed in In the shock after Tang Sen said that he would be an enemy of the entire world.
No one would have predicted that this union, which was clearly meant to celebrate a new stage of change, would turn into a farce in a short period of time, with magicians declaring war on all wizards.
No, some people expected that as early as the early days of the change, Grindelwald, standing opposite the magician, made that ridiculous and stupid prophecy. At that time, only Professor Dumbledore was willing to believe this prophecy and stood by Grindelwald. that side.
But now, everyone has to believe it.
They also had to realize that their former leader had become a dark lord who was trying to subvert the world.
But Grindelwald, whom they ridiculed and despised, seemed like a more suitable leader.
Tang Sen didn't mind seeing all this, and he didn't intend to stop it.
This is also the reason why he invited Grindelwald to the Golden Hall - when he retires and becomes the Dark Lord that everyone shouts about, he will naturally need another person to continue to lead the change.
He could become the Dark Lord for the sake of his mission, but he really didn't have the bad taste to actually do what the Dark Lord wanted to do. The outrageous policies he announced were just to arouse opposition from wizards, and the ridiculous words he said and The performance of the character is just to make everyone believe that he is really just a person trying to cause a bloody storm for fun.
Of course he doesn't care about the follow-up of the change, nor does he care about what the world will look like after he leaves, but after all, it is a career that he has worked hard for two years, and he doesn't mind laying a little foreshadowing to make Grindelwald a New leaders.
In any case, inviting Grindelwald to the scene is just a matter of effort. The other party will behave as expected. This person has been fighting for this all his life.
Tang Sen looked at Grindelwald, who was waiting for him, and then at the wands pointed at him in the golden hall, and suddenly laughed.
"So this is what it feels like to be the Dark Lord?"
"It doesn't seem to be interesting."
Grindelwald was stunned for a moment, unable to react for a moment.
The other party's temperament changed again at this moment. The Dark Lord who just ignored life and seemed ready to kill everyone present disappeared, and the person in front of him looked like the familiar magician again.
He saw the other party snap his fingers, and the dragon behind him suddenly disappeared.
"I am very happy to see that you have the courage to raise your magic wand to me, even if you know how terrible the consequences of confronting me are."
"This also means that my duties are over."
Tang Sen opened his arms and took a deep breath.
"Gentlemen and ladies, what a pleasure it has been."
"goodbye."
The flames ignited and Tang Sen's figure disappeared from the high platform.
This sudden change left everyone confused.
"What's going on?"
"Didn't he just say that he wanted to be an enemy of the whole world and start a bloody storm? I thought I was going to die. Why did he suddenly change his face again?"
"Is he kidding us?"
"What kind of conspiracy is this?"
People were talking a lot.
"There is no conspiracy, it's just a test."
There was a voice from the high platform, and Grindelwald turned around with a complex expression to face all the wizards below.
"I finally understand why he did this."
The voices of the wizards calmed down. Because of Grindelwald's courage to face the magician and the fulfillment of his prophecy, even the British wizards changed their minds about Grindelwald in an instant, so they did not Interrupting Grindelwald's speech.
"Magicians have always said that change lies with everyone, not just one person."
Grindelwald said: "The outrageous policies he proposed and the unreasonable reasons he answered were not because he was crazy. He was just too sensible, so sensible that he would rather give up the huge power at his fingertips and give up everything at the cost of giving. Everyone is alert and tested.”
"He has long since realized that when the change has reached this stage, the power he possesses is no longer conducive to the change."
"He wanted to remind everyone that the world does not need a leader who holds all the power."
"Because when a person's power reaches a certain level, he will become an obstacle to change."
"As Magic demonstrated today, if he is really a careerist, what terrible things will happen if he has such power."
There was silence in the audience, and Grindelwald's words seemed to go straight to the core of the magician's series of strange behaviors.
"So, he was ready to leave. He gave up all honors. He even preferred to be called the Dark Lord and be spurned and scolded by his fellow travelers. He also wanted to warn everyone that what happened today must not be allowed to happen. happened."
There was a hint of admiration in Grindelwald's tone: "When he saw that everyone still had the courage to raise their wands even under his threat, he felt completely at ease and said goodbye to everyone."
"Magic, he is the purest idealist I have ever met."
For a long time, no one heard anything about the magician or soothsayer Tang Sen, and no one saw him again.
However, the revolutionary ideas and plans he left behind are still firmly implemented.
The Witcher series of entertainment works have become popular all over the world in just one year, and under the control of caring people, a corner of the magical world has gradually begun to be revealed to ordinary people.
All this did not go so smoothly. Fierce demonstrations broke out in many countries. Just like many years ago, extreme groups called for the elimination of wizards.
But the emergence of magic technology changed everything.
Although it is only a superficial magic technology and cannot even achieve large-scale mass production, it is enough to change the ecology of the entire world and allow humankind's basic technology to soar at once.
Human civilization suddenly turned a corner at the dawn of the 21st century and surged in another magical and unknown direction.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Tang Sen.
When the three-year period ended, he swallowed the last bite of magical animal meat, controlled the faceless man's abilities, and finally returned to his original appearance.
"This journey must come to an end."
Where no one was paying attention, Tang Sen's figure completely disappeared.
The legend of the great revolutionary pioneer, the divination professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the most powerful Dark Lord in history has never stopped reverberating in the world.
He was a magician and a soothsayer, but many years later, people preferred to call him——
The father of civilization.
