Chapter 288 Extraordinary Materials - Silent Dew! Old Deng, your sister is in my hands, understand?

Nourish stomach and nourish y

His gentle, soothing voice echoed among Krum and his fellow students.

The lingering sound echoed around the beams, never ceasing to reach the ears.

It's as if a petrification spell has been cast on a wide area.

Everyone was stunned.

then.

Suddenly, he turned his gaze to Krum, who was standing there dumbfounded!

Krum: "—W-What did you say?! Cough, cough cough!"

"Oh no! Krum has passed out! Krum is foaming at the mouth!!"

"Help! Help!!!"

Viktor Krum's head lolled to one side.

It was unclear whether he was exhausted or fainted from anger.

His ashen face made it seem like he never wanted to wake up again.

"Ugh... Krum seems to be dying already, he's even emitting holy light above his head."

"Center! Please turn off the flashing light and stop making things worse!"

"Hahaha~"

Amid the chaos, Ethan laughed happily.

The echoes reverberated in the ears of the panicked teachers and students.

It was nothing short of torture from the devils of hell.

"This kid really knows how to surprise everyone..."

"The Daily Prophet recorded," Rita Skeeter murmured, "the stenographer was flying."

"However, it's obvious he hasn't studied journalism and doesn't understand that good things should be learned gradually."

"—They released a black dragon right from the start, pushing everyone's thresholds to the maximum."

"I suppose there won't be anything new or exciting after that, and people will soon lose interest."

Rita pushed up her glasses and raised her red lips triumphantly.

He shook his head and said:

"Sigh, still a young rascal~"

In this pleasant atmosphere.

The first match of the three-way battle has finally come to a close.

That night.

The infirmary was brightly lit.

A sign hung on the door that read, "Ethan and Dementors are not allowed to enter."

There is a lot of resentment.

"Tsk tsk, you're really looking at me with prejudice. I'm clearly as upright and righteous as I am."

Ethan shook his head.

Curling up her jet-black hair, she wondered if dyeing it blonde would be better.

"Plus the glowing effect, it'll be a dazzling presence wherever it goes..."

"Hmm, we can try it on Malfoy's head first."

Ethan pondered for a moment, then yawned.

Feeling physically exhausted, I immediately turned around.

He jumped out of the window.

Using the "Dead Bird," they soared up to the towering Ravenclaw Tower.

The ghostly flames startled Percy, who was on patrol, so much that he fell on his backside.

Entering a dream.

With steady breathing, Ethan's consciousness gradually broke through the barrier of reality.

Guided by the light.

Arriving at that hidden place.

You have arrived at the "Beach".

"Splash, splash!"

Ethan opened his eyes.

What came into view was a vast, red sea.

The twilight was blood-red, and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

Ruby-red, crystal-clear waves lapped against the beach, making a soothing sound.

It was like a mother gently patting her child's back.

It calms one's mind.

At the edge of the beach stood a figure.

She was a young girl.

He was silently gazing at the sea.

Ethan noticed that the afterglow of the setting sun was falling on her, but there was no shadow behind her.

Hmm~ Interesting.

Ethan curled the corners of his mouth and walked toward her with great interest.

Step over the fish skeletons lying on the beach.

They left a trail of footprints behind them.

"sand."

Ethan stopped beside the girl and turned his head to look at her.

She had a youthful and thin face, clutching a dirty rabbit doll tightly in her arms, her eyes filled with fear and exhaustion.

It's as if they're constantly afraid of something.

This magic flows.....

Ethan's pupils contracted slightly.

He saw an incredibly dark and enormous mass of energy.

It was as if they were carrying a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment.

Even though things are relatively stable now.

All of this made Ethan's scalp tingle slightly.

I really want to study and master that power!

Ethan's cobalt blue eyes slowly lit up.

"Hmm—"

The girl flinched.

There is no other reason.

If any stranger suddenly and slowly brings their face close to yours, staring intently at you without blinking.

Any normal person would feel scared.

Why don't you try some traditional Chinese medicine to regulate your body?

The girl trembled and stammered, "Please...please stay away from me...I'll hurt you..."

Ethan: "Really? I don't believe it."

girl:

66

99

She started shaking even more violently.

"Haha, I was just kidding."

Ethan straightened up and gave a harmless smile.

He reached out his hand to the girl:

"My name is Ethan Cent. What's yours?"

"—My name is Ariana."

Ariana whispered, glancing nervously at the somewhat inhuman boy.

He lowered his head and did not shake hands with Ethan.

Ariana?

Ethan felt the name was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't recall its origin.

I decided to stop thinking about it.

Curious, I looked around and asked:

"Where is this place? Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want with me?"

Ariana: "Ugh, ughhhh~"

She was bewildered by the barrage of questions.

I was so engrossed in the pink rabbit doll that my eyes turned into circles, and I felt dizzy and disoriented.

"This place is called the Beach of the Dead, a place where the dead who didn't become ghosts but couldn't walk any further wander..."

Ariana raised her head.

His gaze was fixed on the rolling, blood-red sea, as if looking into the far distance.

That look in her eyes is a bit like Luna's.

Ethan, lost in thought, asked:

Why can't we keep going?

Ariana did not answer this question.

Instead, he stood quietly on the beach, letting the waves crash against his thin, bony insteps.

half an hour.

She spoke softly, "Big brother, the fish that traveled back in time told me that you can draw true history..."

"I wonder if you could correct the erroneous history?"

Ariana turned her head away.

Her eyes welled up with tears, brimming with sorrow, and she said in a trembling voice:

"A past without me... In this way, every family will be happy."

Ethan frowned and said bluntly:

"I don't like hearing what you're saying."

"If you put it that way, thousands upon thousands of people in the magical world would be happier without me."

However, some people will become deeply mired in a quagmire of suffering.

For example, Sirius Black, who was wrongfully imprisoned and forced to flee.

Ariana:

She suddenly chuckled.

As he raised the corners of his mouth, his sallow face suddenly came alive.

"Brother, you're so funny... But I still beg you to paint a picture like that. I'll provide the soul for you."

A mysterious girl has asked you to paint a third-tier historical painting for her. Do you agree?

[Warning: This painting is extremely dangerous! However, it also has the potential to reach the "Tier 3 Purple Epic" rank.]

Tier 3 Purple Epic!

Ethan immediately held his breath.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes!

The final ritual of refining Voldemort and achieving magical freedom in the Soul Cauldron requires a Tier 3 Purple Epic painting!

I was just having trouble finding inspiration.

This is like offering yourself up for a cough, no.

It's "Inspiration comes to me".

Ethan immediately nodded and gave a thumbs up:

"No problem! Leave it to me, you'll definitely get more than your money's worth! You won't regret it!"

C

Ariana was starting to get a little worried.

But I should be fine...

The fish brought a message.

This amazing boy is said to be very bright and very righteous.

They beat up all the bad guys.

And she's so good-looking.

Ariana trembled slightly.

She lowered her head, not daring to look into Ethan's bright eyes any longer.

She reached out her hand and murmured softly, "Then... then please hold my hand. I'll guide you—"

She suddenly paused.

The rabbit doll in my hand fell to the ground, getting covered in dirty sand.

His pupils widened, and a painful howl erupted from his mouth:

"Aaaaaah!!!"

All that could be seen was a dark, murky magical power within her.

It swelled rapidly, like a storm that could crush everything!

The released energy caused the seawater to boil!

One is very strong!

Ethan raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The lamp shone brightly, transforming into armor that enveloped him.

It made a crackling sound.

What kind of power is this? He's never seen anything like it before!

No wonder the system warned that this request was extremely dangerous.

"You, you hurry up!!!"

The girl reached out with all her might and pushed Ethan away!

Action room.

A wisp of gray magic clung to Ethan's body.

"brush"

Ethan's consciousness was pushed thousands of miles away.

The red beach is shrinking rapidly.

What remained on my retina was the blood-red sea that surged with towering waves.

[You have obtained an extraordinary material: Energy - Obscurity]

"Hmm..."

Ethan slowly opened his eyes from the bed.

Before my eyes was a dark blue curtain, through which the moonlight seeped slightly.

Listening to his roommate's loud snoring, Ethan propped himself up and rubbed his eyes.

He muttered to himself, "Ha... I work all day and all night, I'm such a workaholic."

Ethan opened his arms.

In his hand, a ball of gray, storm-like magic coalesced.

It exudes an extremely violent aura.

"So it was Momo Ran..."

Ethan murmured the name.

"Dark energy residing within the body of a wizard who suppresses demons."

"No wonder it's so destructive."

Ethan clenched his fist and absorbed the energy.

He curled the corners of his mouth up.

"Although I was interrupted by Momo Ran's hair-making this time and couldn't get into that girl's history... I'll do it next time we meet."

"However, there was an unexpected surprise!"

Perfect timing! I can use this silent energy to create a new painting and try to control it.

Let's make some minor improvements for the second game!

"MoMoRan... she probably hasn't even seen her own home yet."

A gleam shone in Ethan's eyes.

"A stable ride can stimulate new senses and bring even more joy!"

This will enhance their reputation.

Ethan wants to prove it.

Under his command.

There are no limits to excitement.
