Chapter 196 Merging the Liver Map! True Name Insight and Real-Time Monitoring!
"System! Merge the Marauder's Map for me!"
Dali used his mind to issue commands to his cheat program.
In the pitch-black personal space, a yellowed parchment instantly transformed into ethereal fluctuations, merging with Dudley.
[Command received! Consume 1 A-grade magic item fusion opportunity.]
[Currently remaining: 1 A-level attempt, 1 E-level attempt.]
【Congratulations to the host! 】
[Gain the ability to discern true names!]
From this point on, you can sense the name of any target, including their full name and abbreviation, regardless of whether the target is disguised.
This requires you to sense the presence of the target, and that the sensed target actually has a name.
[Gain panoramic sensing ability within the Hogwarts area!]
You can sense the real-time situation within the Hogwarts grounds anytime, anywhere.
This includes the location and movement of most of the secret rooms and passageways within the castle, changes in staircases, the terrain and surrounding buildings outside the castle, and the location and movement of everyone within the Hogwarts area.
[Gain advanced magical encryption abilities!]
You can expend magic to imbue any object with extremely difficult-to-crack encryption spells to conceal secrets you wish to hide!
[Gain partial knowledge and skills in alchemy and magical item modification!]
You have mastered the alchemy and enchantment techniques related to creating Marauder's Maps!
Dudley listened silently to the system's prompts in his mind, while feeling the extra abilities and knowledge he had gained, and smiled.
Integrating the Marauder's Map, while not providing him with much tangible advantage, enriched his skill set and expanded his intangible abilities.
No wizard can pretend in front of him anymore.
As Dudley thought this, he reached out and waved his hand in the air in front of him, and a miniature, semi-transparent, three-dimensional model of the Hogwarts grounds, made of blue magic, appeared vividly.
The castle, the playground outside the castle, the herb greenhouse, the owlhouse, Hagrid's hut, the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Beating Willow...
Almost all buildings and landscapes within the Hogwarts grounds are represented in this model.
The reason we say "almost" rather than "all" is because there are two places that were not included in the model's monitoring: the House of Requirement and the secret chamber where the basilisk resides.
Within the model, approximately three hundred points of light are scattered at varying densities.
Each point of light is topped with the abbreviation of a name, representing a wizard or a ghost.
If a point of light moves, a row of small, glowing footprints will appear behind it, gradually appearing and disappearing, indicating the direction in which a wizard or ghost is traveling.
This is the effect of the Human Trace Curse, which is applied when the Marauder's Map is created.
Dudley looked left and right, observing the three-dimensional model for a while, and found all the name tags that should have been found. As for the ones that shouldn't have been found, he didn't find them.
The entity that shouldn't have been found was located in the school hospital.
Dudley saw the light that remained motionless on the hospital bed in the ward—Erkris Hunter—but he didn't see Voldemort's name hiding inside Erkris's stomach.
I didn't see the name of the stalker, Pipi Ghost.
It seems that Marauder's Map's monitoring capabilities are not invincible, and Dudley's previous assumptions were somewhat presumptuous.
Voldemort in his parasitic state and Peeves, concealed by Dumbledore using the Deathly Hallows - the Invisibility Cloak and some advanced concealment magic, are beyond the detection capabilities of the Marauder's Map.
It's worth noting that in the original story, Peeves could be detected by the Marauder's Map.
Furthermore, the names of Harry, Rowan, and Hercules, who were cloaked in the Deathly Hallows - the Invisibility Cloak - from the original story, will also appear on the Marauder's Map.
Voldemort, Dumbledore, and Grindelwald—the methods of these top wizards are truly unfathomable.
Dali's desire to become stronger intensified.
The easiest way for him to quickly become stronger is to have Hagrid raise the dragon and then receive two more A-level fusion opportunities as a reward.
Combining the three, you can create an S-class item.
Then he melted down Voldemort's yew wand.
With that thought, Dudley waved his hand and dispersed the three-dimensional magical model of Hogwarts, changing his original plan to study in the library. He transformed into a blur, leaped out of the window, and flew directly towards Hagrid's Hut.
Dali and Haiger have not been working or researching for nothing over the past month or so!
The contents of three ancient magical contracts, forbidden books on magical rituals, and two forbidden books on forcibly taming magical creatures have been translated into modern English by Dudley, who is guiding Hagrid through in-depth study.
Dudley himself had mastered about 70-80% of the knowledge in these five forbidden books, and Hagrid had also grasped about 30-40%.
Furthermore, they already have some ideas for improving and creating new magic.
For nearly a week, Hagrid hasn't come to the castle. He's been eating and sleeping in his hut, busy hatching dragon eggs and studying magic in seclusion.
Dudley was busy with self-study and interviewing Muggle candidates, and didn't go to see Hagrid.
I wonder how far his research is going.
I'll go check it out and see if I can help him speed things up!
Dudley quickly flew to Hagrid's cabin, knocked on the door, and was happily welcomed inside by Hagrid.
As soon as Dudley entered the house, a wave of heat hit him and caused a fine layer of sweat to appear on his forehead and back. Upon closer inspection, he realized that the source of the sweat was the fireplace in Hagrid's house.
Inside the fireplace, a large amount of charcoal burned bright red, desperately releasing heat to roast a silvery-white Norwegian Spinosaurus egg.
"Dali, you've come at the right time! Norber is about to hatch! I could hear his heartbeat! The dragon egg even wobbled a couple of times this morning. The little guy is so energetic! Much more lively than his parents!"
Once Dudley stood still, Hagrid began to recount incessantly the details concerning the dragon egg.
Just like in the original story, Hagrid named the Norwegian Spinosaurus in the dragon egg Norber.
However, this dragon egg is not the same as that dragon egg, and it is unknown whether it will hatch into a little female dragon that needs to be renamed.
After Dudley finished looking at the dragon egg, he shifted his gaze and took a look at Hagrid's current appearance.
Hagrid's hair and beard were now a mess, covered in cookie crumbs.
Moreover, just by looking at Hagrid's dark circles, you can tell how bad his sleep quality has been lately.
But Hagrid was full of energy; clearly, his love for the dragon egg outweighed his fatigue.
Dudley cast a cleansing and a calming spell on Hagrid, tidying him up and calming his agitated emotions, before getting straight to the point:
"Have you come up with any results regarding the magical creature contract magic on the heart side?"
"That's exactly what I was going to tell you!"
Although Hagrid was under a calming spell, his smile remained unchanged. Upon hearing Dudley's question, he immediately pulled Dudley to the fireplace.
The temperature here was even higher, so Dali had to cast a Water Armor spell to protect himself and cool down.
This is a composite magic, a combination of two spells: 'Clear Water Like a Spring' and 'Protective Armor'.
Its defensive capabilities are not significantly improved compared to the regular Ironclad Curse, but it is very suitable for resisting fire and high-temperature attacks.
With the protection of the Water Armor Curse, Dudley felt much better.
He was puzzled as to why Hagrid was making such a strong fire, since a normal furnace would be hot enough to incubate the dragon eggs.
But this question was far less important than the magical contract between Fantastic Beasts, and Dudley planned to ask it after hearing Hagrid's answer.
