Chapter 3

In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. In the highest room of the Gullis family's castle, a boy was leaning against the window, reading a book. His light blue hair gently fluttered in the breeze, and his heterochromatic eyes—one gold, one silver—combined with his handsome face, made him incredibly charming. It was easy to imagine that he would grow up to be a first-rate handsome man.

Suddenly, a house-elf with pointed ears appeared silently in front of the boy and whispered, "Master, a letter from Hogwarts has arrived." He then took out an envelope from his chest, the address written in emerald green ink, with no stamp, only a wax seal and a coat of arms featuring a large "H" letter surrounded by a lion, an eagle, a badger, and a snake.

The boy lifted his head, took the letter, and opened it to read:

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Albus Dumbledore (Head of the International Confederation of Wizards, Chief Warlock of the Wizengamot, Supreme Mugwump of the International Confederation of Wizards, Grand Sorcerer of the Order of Merlin)

Dear Mr. Gullis: We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Enclosed is a list of all necessary books and equipment. Term begins on September 1st. We await your owl by no later than July 31st. Deputy Headmistress Minerva McGonagall

The letter was followed by a long list of required supplies.

Mowen carefully examined the list, which was almost identical to the one Harry had received in the original story. Hogwarts, huh? Finally, the day has come. However, he was a year older than Harry Potter, and next year would be the time when everything began.

"Primordial, estimate how long it would take us to obtain the essence of this small world if I don't interfere with the plot," Mowen asked silently. He and Primordial were almost one entity, and this kind of communication would not attract the attention of the world's essence.

Primordial's sweet voice echoed in Mowen's mind, "Master, if you don't change the course of the original story at all, you only need to live in this world for a hundred years, and I can seize the world's essence. However, Master, I estimate that you have already started to alter the plot. Clearly, the Modius Gullis you reincarnated as should have died ten years ago, and the Gullis family should have been destroyed. However, this change is very minor, and it will probably only save me a day or two."

Mowen lowered his head and thought for a moment before asking, "What can I do to help you obtain the essence as quickly as possible?"

"Master, this small world is a projection of a novel from a larger world, so it is quite special. Its essence is extremely unevenly distributed, with nearly seventy percent concentrated in Harry Potter and Voldemort. The fastest way would be for you to directly eliminate them or replace their roles in the original story, and I can immediately seize the world's essence. Alternatively, you could kill some important supporting characters or alter some plot developments."

"Is that so?" Mowen carefully considered and finally shook his head. "Let's avoid direct conflict with these important figures for now. I don't want to interact with them yet. We don't lack time. I need to digest the skills you've given me. We can take our time and spend a few decades if necessary. It will be safer and will also improve my abilities for the next world. So, let's do it this way."

A faint light flashed in Mowen's hand, and the information from the book quickly entered his mind.

Level 0 Spell: Reading Magic

Initially, Primordial had deduced all the arcane magic from the seven schools of the D&D world using the essence of the larger world and taught them to Mowen. He had not fully digested these skills yet, and with his current strength, he could only cast up to third-level spells from some schools. Although he was confident that his power was not inferior to that of some adult wizards, he was not yet strong enough to challenge figures like Voldemort and Dumbledore.

At this moment, Toby took out another letter and handed it to Mowen, saying, "Master, Mr. Malfoy is hosting a party at his home next Sunday and hopes to invite you. Mr. Nix and Mr. Rod, the managers of our family's two shops in Diagon Alley, have also been invited."

"Lucius!" Mowen's eyes flashed with a cold light at the mention of the name. Ten years ago, this man had killed his father in this world, forcing him to overdraw his magical power to cast a Level 0 spell, Mage Hand, nearly burning out his brain. Now, he was coming to him. Nix and Rod were the managers of his family's two important shops in Diagon Alley. Was he trying to force him to attend? Did he really think he was a pushover?

Mowen snorted coldly and said to Toby, "Reply to Malfoy that I will attend on time next week."

If he wanted to provoke him, Mowen would see if he could handle it. His eyes flashed with a cold light; he was not the powerless child he had been ten years ago.

Noble Artifacts:

Heroic Throne

Rank: EX

Type: World-Class Noble Artifact

The strongest Noble Artifact born in this world. Under the condition of not sparing the essence, it can destroy a small world in one strike. (Note: Using this Noble Artifact may attract the attention and retaliation of the world.)

Immortality

Rank: EX

Type: Personal Noble Artifact

Combined with the Heroic Throne, you can achieve immortality as long as the Throne is not destroyed. If killed in the outside world, you can be reborn within the Heroic Throne.

Perfect Bloodline

Rank: D−EX

Type: Personal Noble Artifact

Due to the influence of the Heroic body, you can perfectly integrate the abilities of various bloodlines, obtaining nearly perfect abilities. The effect of this Noble Artifact depends on the quantity and quality of the bloodlines obtained.

Mowen was unsure about his luck. Being reborn into this pureblood family had certainly benefited him. He had not expected that this family had the bloodlines of both Veela and Dragon, which were almost negligible in his body. However, under the influence of the Heroic body, they had formed a Personal Noble Artifact. His eyes had mutated into one gold and one silver, his magic power had increased more rapidly, and his Dragon bloodline had enhanced his Strength, Endurance, Agility, and Resistance, making his physical abilities nearly three times that of an average adult. The Veela bloodline had greatly increased his charm and granted him a natural charm spell.

Of course, this bloodline had also caused him a lot of trouble. Lucius had worked so hard to hunt him and his father not only because his parents were members of the Order of the Phoenix but also because of the family's vast assets. The two were closely related, and after Mowen and his father's deaths, the Malfoy family would have inherited a significant portion of the estate.

However, there was no point in complaining. Since he had inherited the convenience of this family, he naturally had to bear the corresponding risks. Although he had no deep feelings for his parents in this world, their relationship was still relatively good, and it was best to avenge them if he could.
