Chapter 6

Outside the ancient castle, in a solitary cell.

Du Wei played with his fingers.

He was casually thrown into the room and locked up.

The enforcer walked over, disdainfully tossing the chocolate in front of Du Wei.

The big shots from the Ministry of Magic were kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the prisoners too miserable.

Wasting chocolate on such scum made the enforcer very unhappy.

The enforcers grumbled, and before leaving, he pointed his wand at Du Wei and threatened him, "If you dare to make a fuss now, I'll have the Dementors give you a proper greeting, boy."

The enforcer, with his apple wood and unicorn hair wand, pointed at Du Wei and said.

Du Wei ignored the enforcer and paid no attention to his disdain.

He picked up the chocolate from the dirt and put it in his mouth.

Instantly, the sweetness and slight bitterness filled his mouth, giving him immense satisfaction.

He even smelled the aroma of the chocolate.

Squinting his eyes in delight, Du Wei thought of nothing.

He just wanted to savor this moment of beauty.

Only now did he feel alive.

This was the most wonderful taste.

This was the taste of life.

"I'm afraid I'll become an old bee, but what does it matter? Sugar, such a wonderful thing."

He let out a comfortable moan, slumped to the ground, and began to convert his duel points.

He turned all his duel points into magic points.

Magic Points: 80.

Looking at these magic points, Du Wei couldn't help but shed tears.

He covered his face with his hands and sobbed silently. After a while, he disappeared from there.

A small golden beetle appeared on the spot, looking extremely unremarkable.

"Yes, yes, just like that."

Soon, Du Wei transformed again, and this time the transformation was not at all dangerous.

As a special card, Animagus naturally had special side effects.

These side effects were not from the card itself.

The inherent problem with Animagus was that it was difficult to transform into magical creatures.

After transforming into an animal, human thoughts would gradually disappear, becoming more like a real animal.

Even with the card, it was the same.

As a special card, Animagus could maintain the transformation for a long time.

If he didn't mind really becoming a golden beetle.

"Animagus succeeded.

The escape can begin."

Du Wei began to carefully plan his next move.

As long as he escaped from Azkaban, he would be free.

Day after day, the work not only consumed the lives of the prisoners but also the enthusiasm of the enforcers.

They had the same bureaucratic nature as the Ministry of Magic, just getting by and doing the bare minimum.

So, the next step was to play a time game.

Du Wei was very clear.

The enforcers would count the prisoners after the big shots from the Ministry of Magic left, meaning they would likely soon realize he was missing.

This time would be before dawn. After dawn, the Dementors would appear, and the enforcers didn't want to face them.

Of course, the enforcers might not come to count the prisoners.

British wizards and their Muggles were equally lax and free-spirited.

Du Wei's mind raced, grateful for the chocolate. He thought a lot, and no matter what, he had to ensure he left this place safely.

Or there was a more adventurous way.

Apparition?

The entire Azkaban and the surrounding sea were forbidden from Apparition, as someone had placed a curse here.

But on the high seas, Apparition was not restricted.

After being discovered, he could Apparate away from here.

Du Wei carefully considered the details and looked at the cards he had learned.

The effects of Level 1 cards were not very useful.

He needed to keep the most useful ones, upgrade the most useful magic, and destroy the temporarily unused cards to convert them into essence.

Magic card upgrades increased exponentially.

Card upgrades required the fusion of the same cards.

Level 1 cards required one magic card.

Level 2 cards required two magic cards.

Level 3 cards required six magic cards.

Level 4 cards required eight magic cards.

And so on.

Apparition was undoubtedly to be learned in advance. The Cruciatus Curse was temporarily useless and could be converted into essence.

One of the three Unforgivable Curses, the Imperius Curse, he did not obtain, which was very regrettable.

Avada Kedavra, a single-target attack, simple and effective, was worth keeping.

Armor Protection, a defensive spell, was worth learning.

Thus, Du Wei quickly made up his mind. He would allocate points to Avada Kedavra, Apparition, and Armor Protection.

The rest of the spells, he could learn on his own after being released.

To enhance the strength of the magic cards, essence was needed.

Essence could be obtained by destroying magic cards.

Commonly known as "dust."

White cards, one copy = 100 dust, blue cards = 800 dust, purple cards = 1600 dust, gold cards = 3200 dust.

Destroying them could only yield one-quarter of the dust.

And "copying" meant that without a template, they could not be created out of thin air!

Du Wei calmed himself and was nervously calculating.

Besides the three magic cards he selected, destroying the rest of the cards would yield 2225 essence.

His system became:

【User: Du Wei Jones (alias)

Learned Cards:

【Armor Protection (Level 1)】 (White Common) *4

【Apparition (Level 1)】 (Purple Epic)

【Avada Kedavra (Level 1)】 (Purple Epic)

【Animagus (Special Card)】

Titles: None

Magic Points: 80

Magic Essence: 2225

Duel Points: 0】

He carefully calculated and found that Apparition could be upgraded to Level 2.

"The essence is still not enough."

Du Wei pursed his lips, squinted his eyes, and seeing the essence, he wanted to go out and beat someone up again.

But he quickly dismissed this thought.

Clearly, he was locked up, which meant the big shots had arrived.

If he encountered those big shots, he would likely be overwhelmed.

He was not a match for those enforcers.

What if there was an elite Auror here?

Du Wei, thinking about this, decided to first copy a Level 2 Apparition card for 1600 essence, synthesizing it into a Level 2 Apparition.

【Apparition】

【Apparition: Go where you want, but when you leave, consider the distance. The farther the distance, the more dangerous the magic. Never forget the 3D principle.】

【"Hey, sir, Gringotts prohibits the use of Apparition."】

"What is the difference in card upgrades? Distance?"

Du Wei was not sure what exactly the Apparition card upgrade entailed.

He looked at the remaining 625 essence, carefully considered, and decided to copy Armor Protection.

He already had four Armor Protection cards.

Adding six more would make ten.

Ten Armor Protection cards could upgrade the Armor Protection to Level 3!

Level 3 Armor Protection, Level 2 Apparition, plus Level 1 Avada Kedavra.

He didn't know if his three main spells could face the enforcers head-on.

Du Wei closed his eyes, thinking about his escape route.

After a while, he heard footsteps outside.

Lifting his head, Du Wei saw a short, fat man walking over, looking radiant, with a reporter following him.

The short, fat man had greasy gray hair plastered to his forehead. He talked loudly outside the door, not even glancing at the prisoners, and strode inside.

The reporter glanced at Du Wei.

Du Wei coldly watched the man walk towards the maximum security area, head down, making his face hard to see.

From the snippets of conversation, Du Wei heard that this old man seemed to be the current Minister of Magic.

"Minister of Magic?"

Du Wei sat on the ground, maliciously thinking, if this Minister of Magic were thrown into Azkaban, how many years would it take for him to become as thin as Sirius Black?

"There will be such a day."

Du Wei sat in the prison, seriously waiting for time to pass, listening to the footsteps outside, feeling like each day was a year.
