HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

Shake McFastie cried out hatefully to Teach Carr, "My mother gave her life to save me and my father."

"Although my father was cursed with a forgetting spell, his intense love for my mother prevented the spell from completely erasing his memories."

"My father longed for, searched for, and went mad because he only had a vague outline of my mother in his mind. He eventually died in madness."

After listening to Xia Ke's account, Teach asked with a strong thirst for knowledge, "Now that you have successfully regained your memories, tell me, what did they do to you at the McFastie Family Magic Academy?"

Xia Ke didn't answer directly. Instead, she stood up naked and cut her wrist with her wand.

Dark red blood flowed out. Xia Ke filled a test tube with the blood and handed it to Teach Karl, saying, "During my three years at the Family Academy..."

"Initially, they would place a black dragon mark made from the blood of a black dragon on the five-year-old children born from the union of a pure-blood wizard in the family and a Muggle. This was a mark, a magical adaptation process, to prevent any Squibs from being born into the children."

"Subsequently, they added magically refined black dragon blood to the standardized food distributed by the academy. This step resulted in the death of 3% of the children."

"Then, after the children have become accustomed to the black dragon's blood, we will be allowed to eat the black dragon's meat raw."

"Then, we were each given a black dragon egg, and we were instructed to water and incubate it with our own blood, which had turned black and red like dragon blood, and it had to be successful. Those that failed to hatch died from excessive blood loss day and night."

"Finally, the surviving children will be taken to a place..."

“I don’t know about this place, and I don’t know about the final steps either, because my father and I had already left the family by then.”

While analyzing the blood in the test tube using an analytical array, Teach Carr, after hearing Shake's words, casually used matter transformation to conjure a set of clothes from a piece of white paper on his desk, then tossed it to Shake McFastie without turning back: "Put these clothes on. From now on, you're mine."

"Now, clean up that stupid corpse on the ground, then think carefully about the McFastie family, and finally wait for my instructions."

During his analysis of the training array, Teach discovered genetic changes in Xia Ke's dark red blood: [Human genetic chains were severed, invaded, and then reconnected, forming new biological genes.]

This new gene can even be passed on to the next generation through the mother's pregnancy.

Although I haven't hunted the black dragon yet, nor dissected and studied it, I think... this invading gene must be the black dragon's genetic code!

[Given these genetic changes, why hasn't Xia Ke's appearance been altered? She still has a human body shape. According to modern scientific research, Xia Ke should have long since lost her human form, right?]

[...Yes, this is magic. How can I explain it with science? The reason why Shake hasn't changed is probably because the McFastie family didn't complete the last two steps of their experiment on her.]

With that thought in mind, Teach put down his blood research and began to wander around the study, deep in thought.

[Why were the children allowed to hatch the black dragon eggs using their own blood? What were the purpose of these baby dragons? What role did they play in their human experiments?]

What exactly is this final step, the final step that Xia Ke doesn't know about?

"What will be created after the experiment is completed?" Teach Carr was filled with questions and intense excitement.

The MacFastie family's experiments were definitely not magic, nor were they magical alchemy.

It also does not belong to Teach's magic, nor to magician human transmutation.

Driven by an intense thirst for knowledge, Teach was now irresistibly drawn to this unknown and novel subject, causing his face to flush and his body to feel restless and agitated.

After cleaning up her colleague's corpse, Xia Ke used magic to destroy the evidence and scatter the bones to ashes before going to the study to await orders. That's when she saw the irritable Teach.

From a woman's psychological perspective, Shake believes that Teach Carr needs some physical calm right now.

So he took off his clothes again.

"Become mine," Teach clearly conveyed to Shake in one sentence, "I will avenge your hatred, and then everything you have will belong to me."

So Xia Ke used her voluptuous body to press herself against Titch.

But who knew...

After feeling the softness and warmth of the woman on his back, Teach turned around, shoved Xia Ke aside, and snapped in a cold, angry voice, "Can't you see I'm thinking?"

"Get out! Don't even think about defiling my sacred pursuit of knowledge with your promiscuous and impure thoughts."

And so, the night passed without further incident...

The next morning, when Shake McFastie got dressed and went downstairs, she suddenly smelled a fragrance she had never smelled before, which made her mouth water.

After placing the last dish of stir-fry on the table, Teach took off his kitchen scarf, turned around, and kindly called to Xia Ke, who was standing in the stairwell, "Come on, come down and eat, try my cooking."

"Consider this my apology for what happened last night."

"After we finish eating, we have important things to do."

At the dinner table, Teach Carr gentlemanly served Xia Ke some food, then smiled calmly and rationally, saying, "I'm the kind of person who values ​​knowledge highly and absolutely hates being disturbed when I'm thinking."

"So you should be mindful of this habit of yours in the future."

"Also, although you are now my servant, I treat all life equally and with respect. I will not exploit or bully you. You can relax a bit in front of me."

What Teach said to Shake was true, but his intention wasn't some kind of saintly sentiment about equality or freedom; rather, it was a superior's approachable manner towards his subordinate.

Between Voldemort and Grindelwald, who was the better Dark Lord? Teach Carl would say it without hesitation: Grindelwald.

Compared to the other, Voldemort ruled the magical world with violence and darkness, making people afraid to resist, but unable to stop the resistance in people's hearts.

In contrast, Grindelwald's rule was based on the willing following of wizards. Everything he did was for the sake of the wizarding community. He proclaimed that wizards were waging war against Muggles for justice. He did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He... was good at using them.

He was adept at wielding justice and then harnessing the power that arose from the gathering of followers around him.

Therefore, Teach's approachable manner towards Shake at this time is a gradual and psychological way of manipulating her.

To make Xia Ke follow him spontaneously from the bottom of her heart.

However, world domination was not Teach Carl's goal; everything he did was in pursuit of the source of truth.

After breakfast, Teach had Shake change into a modern women's outfit. After a short, pleasant walk on the island, Teach took Shake to a shopping mall and then led her into a diamond ring store.

Tichy Carr spent a fortune to buy the diamond ring recommended by the sales assistant and affectionately put it on Sharon's ring finger.

Teach's behavior made Xia Ke blush and look stunned.

After leaving the ring shop, Teach explained, "Now, I am your fiancé, and we are getting married."

“I need you to follow in your mother Shafia’s footsteps and take me, your Muggle fiancé, back to the McFastie family.”
