Seeing the total number of his deduction points, Charle was a little incredulous.
With his current mental strength, counting numbers was instantaneous and impossible to get wrong.
But this time, he couldn't help but count several times before finally confirming that the points were indeed not something he had misread.
Hundreds of millions of deduction points, this was definitely the most fruitful time Charle had ever had!
His eyes revealed a burning intensity.
"The Necronomicon is truly a good thing. And anything related to the ancient era provides truly extraordinary deduction points."
"It seems I need to pay more attention to collecting information related to the Necronomicon in the future."
"Also, the future direction of industrial upgrading for the farm is set. From now on, it will gradually transition from raising magical creatures to raising those eerie things!"
"Acromantulas, Basilisks, and the like are too weak. Tentacles are the direction representing advanced productivity!"
Thoughts flickered in his mind, while Charle's gaze swept towards the Malfoy father and son outside.
Seeing them all consciously covering their eyes and ears, as if afraid of seeing something they shouldn't, a strange look appeared in Charle's eyes.
He had to admit, Lucius's discernment was really good.
He had been thinking of avenging Snape and getting back at Draco, but now he was so sensible.
This was quite similar to his performance in the original work, highlighting a very flexible stance and principles.
But to say he was rotten to the core, that wasn't the case.
Charle had thought the father and son would take advantage of him holding back the evil entity to escape, but he didn't expect them to still be waiting outside with their wands in hand, thinking of helping him.
One could only say that human nature was indeed quite complex.
However, this did make Charle's attitude towards the Malfoy family change for the better, becoming much gentler.
He took a step and walked in front of the Malfoy father and son.
Immediately after, Lucius and Draco cautiously opened their eyes.
Seeing that it was Charle who appeared before them, rather than the sinister faces of Old Crabbe and Old Goyle, tears welled up in the father and son's eyes.
A smile played on Charle's lips.
"What, I thought you were hoping I'd perish together with the thing inside?"
"You're actually crying?"
Lucius's usual elegance was completely gone at this moment.
What happened today had truly scared him to death. If Charle hadn't thrown him and Draco out, he felt he would have gone mad inside even if he didn't die!
Hearing Charle's words at this moment, Lucius, with snot and tears, half-flatteringly and half-sincerely said.
"There are no two suns in the sky. Lord Charle, you are the only sun in my heart!"
"How could I wish for the sun to fall? Then there would truly be no light in the world!"
As he spoke, Lucius even directly pledged his loyalty.
"The Malfoy family swears to serve Lord Charle until death!"
Charle nodded slightly, said nothing more, and directly assigned Lucius his task.
"Use your connections to inquire about and investigate information related to the Necronomicon, or any similar incidents to the one we encountered today."
A simple sentence made Lucius's face light up with ecstasy.
This meant he had been accepted by Charle, at least he didn't have to worry about being silenced by Charle at any time!
Lucius quickly made a guarantee.
"Even if it means losing everything, I will definitely find the information Lord Charle needs."
Charle then waved his wand, and Lucius's sleeve rolled up, revealing the Dark Mark branded on his arm.
Then, under Lucius's shocked gaze, Charle casually waved his wand, and the Dark Mark, which no one in the entire wizarding world could remove, instantly vanished, replaced by a platinum-colored, indescribable pattern of an elder god.
Lucius's eyes widened, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
Voldemort had been gone for many years, and during this time, he had tried more than once to wash away the Dark Mark on his body.
After all, this thing was definitely a ticking time bomb. If it were ever brought up again, he would face huge trouble.
However, no matter how many wizards in related fields he found, they were all helpless against the Dark Mark.
This was set by Voldemort himself, and even Dumbledore was powerless against it!
But now, Lucius could hardly believe his eyes. Charle had just casually waved his hand and washed away the Dark Mark?
What did this represent!?
A storm surged in Lucius's heart.
He had thought that while Charle was formidable, he might still need some time to grow to reach the peak of Voldemort's power.
But today, it seemed his judgment was far too wrong.
Perhaps Charle has already surpassed the peak Voldemort!
An eleven-year-old little wizard, surpassing the most terrifying Dark Lord, what level will he reach if he continues to grow?
Dumbledore?
No, Dumbledore couldn't do anything to Voldemort either, so it's only a matter of time before Charle surpasses him further.
The Four Founders of Hogwarts?
Lucius felt that Charle might not stop there. The Four Founders might not be much stronger than Dumbledore, and at the age of eleven, they would still be beaten by Charle.
A name appeared in Lucius's mind.
"Merlin..."
"Perhaps Charle has the potential to stand shoulder to shoulder with the legendary wizard Merlin!"
Thinking of this, Lucius couldn't help but breathe rapidly, and a huge sense of joy overwhelmed his heart.
Being a dog for an eleven-year-old little wizard might sound a bit embarrassing.
But being a dog for the young Merlin?
In an epic, that would be considered supreme glory!
He had hit the jackpot!
Then, Charle waved his wand again, leaving the same demonic mark on Draco's arm.
He said lightly.
"When you encounter a desperate situation, press the mark, and I will come."
"But don't expect me to be your nanny. Unless you make a contribution, you only have one chance to save your life."
Hearing Charle say that this mark could be used to call for help, Lucius felt another surge of emotion.
As expected of Lord Charle, comparable to Merlin, look at how grand his vision is!
He is so generous and considerate to his subordinates, and even grants them a chance to call for help and save their lives.
Look at the Dark Mark left by Voldemort, you're basically notified one-way, and whether you can press the mark depends on Voldemort's orders.
And this aesthetic, that Dark Mark doesn't look like a good person at all, without any aesthetic sense or temperament.
Unlike Lord Charle's mark, which is so elegant and aesthetically pleasing, it's clearly not some common stuff!
By the time Lucius recovered from his emotions, Charle had already disappeared from his sight.
Draco, who was beside him, was still in a dreamlike state.
"Father, so from now on, we are really working for Charle... ah no, Lord Charle?"
Lucius's expression also became serious.
"This is a rare opportunity. You probably won't find many people in history who have such an honor. You must do a good job with the tasks assigned by Lord Charle."
"Draco, you will first be responsible for gathering information at Hogwarts. Some of your classmates come from quite extraordinary families, and they might have relevant clues."
"And I will specifically organize people in the wizarding world to investigate the Necronomicon and various evil incidents that Lord Charle wants us to investigate."
"To cover our tracks, this organization will be disguised as a school, using academic research as a cover. It will be called - Miskatonic University."
"The members responsible for investigating these incidents will be collectively referred to as - Investigators."
...
While Lucius was busy arranging matters related to searching for the Necronomicon, Charle had already put the previous events out of his mind.
Since he had taken subordinates, he naturally didn't need to inquire about everything. He just needed to ask about the progress every once in a while, otherwise wouldn't he be working for his subordinates?
Lucius was able to make the Malfoy family prosperous, and Charle believed that he didn't need to worry too much about this aspect.
Taking subordinates was to reduce his own troubles and give himself more time to spend on self-improvement, so he naturally shouldn't put the cart before the horse.
Now, he should also think about how to use these hundreds of millions of points.
Charle concentrated and thought.
His strength is now very powerful. If he uses all his trump cards, he would be considered an elite in the Middle Ages, easily defeating the half-dead Voldemort of today.
Adding his powerful Holy magic and Fluffy's restraint on the Killing Curse, even the peak Voldemort would probably be in a sorry state due to the restraint.
However, Charle calculated that most of his strength was in the magical Accio.
Whether it was the ancient dragon form, the Fluffy form, or the likely Heavenly Phoenix form he would obtain in two months, they were all far superior to his wizard form.
This made Charle shake his head. He still didn't like having any shortcomings.
Even though his wizard form was already almost unrivaled in the near ancient times, Charle still felt it wasn't safe.
What if he encountered an enemy and didn't have time to transform into a magical Accio?
He couldn't perfectly predict every battle and transform in advance every time, could he?
Although the transformation only takes a brief moment, at Charle's level, this brief gap could very well allow an opponent to find a fatal opportunity!
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to improve the already strong magical Accio form. Charle's focus was on his wizard form.
"First is destructive power."
"The Eternal Blazing Sun Spell and Sunless Sun Spell derived from the Lumos spell felt incredibly powerful before, but now, even with triple casting, they feel a bit lacking."
"For my current mental strength, they feel a bit light. I need something more powerful."
Charle's eyes flickered, and after a moment, he made a decision.
"Deep Blue, Lumos spell six-time deduction. Continue to strengthen the destructive power of spells like Eternal Blazing Sun and Sunless Sun for me."
"Burst, I want an instant burst!"
The moment Charle decided to deduce the Lumos spell for the sixth time, a full two million deduction points were deducted.
It should be noted that at this time, Charle had already collected a massive amount of high-level materials at Hogwarts, and had even learned some of the essence of spellcasting from Professor Filius Flitwick. The materials obtained from this could reduce the deduction points required for all magic.
With these materials accumulated, Charle estimated that the deduction of spells like the Lumos spell would only consume one-tenth of the original points.
But even so, it still consumed a full two million points.
This meant that without the blessing of materials, it would require twenty million points to complete this deduction.
This was already at the level of ancient dragon language magic!
Charle's eyes also showed anticipation.
The reason he chose to continue deducing the Lumos spell first, rather than re-deducing other spells, was because according to his past experience, the further the deduction, the more qualitative the change each time.
Even if the Lumos spell, as a basic spell, started at a slightly lower point than other spells, after five deductions, the power of the sixth deduction would definitely not be something that ordinary spells could catch up to with four or five deductions.
It seemed that the result of this deduction could be highly anticipated.
At this moment, countless pieces of knowledge began to pour into Charle's mind.
The path after the Eternal Blazing Sun, Charle had already understood in the previous deduction. The next step was to simulate celestial bodies to enhance the destructive power of the spell.
By the end of the deduction, solar fusion, gamma-ray bursts, and even black holes were all possible!
Even the physicists from Charle's previous life before transmigrating dared not say they could fully understand these astronomical phenomena, let alone the magical world of 1991.
But Deep Blue had infinite possibilities.
In Charle's mind, an image of the sun appeared in a trance. On the already incredibly hot surface of the sun, there were areas that were countless times hotter than the rest.
There, high-energy particles carrying immense energy erupted...
Its name was - Sun Flare!
Charle subconsciously also waved his wand. Intense light and heat gathered on the mithril wand, and the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell was on the verge of being cast.
But at this moment, Charle did not release it as usual, but kept recalling the scene from just now in his mind.
The next moment, his hand gesture changed, the spell was whispered, and the corresponding spell structure formed in the outside world also changed accordingly.
On the dazzling sphere formed by the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, one area seemed to gather energy from other places and began to become increasingly dazzling.
Immediately after, a solar torrent erupted fiercely from the flare, and the scorching white flames swept forward like a stream of light.
Everything in front of Charle, the ground, rocks, soil, rivers, and even the air, instantly evaporated!
Deep Blue's prompt sounded in Charle's mind.
"Lumos spell six-time deduction complete. Host has obtained the spell - Sun Flare!"
"Concentrate the power of the Eternal Blazing Sun at the flare, releasing a torrent of sun flames, incinerating everything in front. Possesses ten times the instant burst power of the Eternal Blazing Sun!"
Feeling the power of the Sun Flare, Charle took a deep breath.
Just that one strike, even if his ancient dragon form could withstand it, he would definitely be severely injured!
After all, no matter how strong an ancient dragon was, it was impossible to directly withstand the power of a solar flare.
Even if this was just simulated with magic power, it was definitely not something a flesh and blood body could resist.
"This is just a single cast. If I also use the multiple casting technique learned from Professor Filius Flitwick, three instant Sun Flare bursts..."
Just thinking about that scene made Charle feel terrified!
Up to this point, the Sun Flare after six deductions had instantly become Charle's strongest attack method!
However, his deduction this time was not yet over.
"So far, the magic I have mastered, whether it's Transfiguration, Holy Magic, or the series of Lumos spell derivatives, should all be considered within the scope of white magic."
"But black magic, as the most bizarre and dangerous part of magic, can stand against white magic, so it naturally has its unique aspects."
"It just so happens that with the help of Fluffy this time, I can directly waive the deduction points for the first three deductions of black magic. I can completely raise black magic to a very profound level in a short period of time."
"Especially that spell..."
Charle's eyes showed anticipation.
"The Killing Curse, currently the most destructive spell in the magical world. What would it be like if it were deduced three or more times, or even four or five times?!"
