Chapter 30: The Origins of Wands and Special Markings

Snape worked late into the night.
Kreacher had woken up in the Potions office and was only released after Snape finished his work and personally escorted him back to the common room in Ravenclaw.
After roughing it out with washing, lying on the bed, he realized that there might be a whole half semester left of such days. He realized how foolish it was to provoke Snape several times in the classroom and office due to his momentary impulse, which not only affected his own plans for the day, but also left a very bad impression on his potential allies in the future.
He was lying on the bed lost in thought, and suddenly the anxiety and panic he had felt when Judith was arrested came back to him.
Almost involuntarily, he started a simulation.
"Simulation initiated! Objectives set: primary objective is to gain stronger power, secondary objective is to investigate the origin of the special marking and the ‘Disembodied’ wand."
【Heavenly Simulation Service at Your Disposal】
【Simulation Begins】
【Day 0】Due to your actions in the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore has a different opinion of you. After informing Professor Snape, he decides to test you, so be careful and watch your every move."
After you responded to his provocation, he brought you back to the office to be punished during the Potion class.
On the first day, after school, you went to the office alone and showed Professor Flitwick the 'Deatheater' wand and the special mark.
After seeing the wand, Professor Flitwick told you some legends about this wand, but he was not particularly clear about the specific situation of this wand. He suggested that you go to Ollivander's Wand Shop and ask.
Although you have concerns about the Ollivander Wand Shop, at the strong suggestion of Professor Flitwick, you decide to go and ask during the holidays.
As for the special mark traced on the paper, Professor Flitwick only said that he had never seen it before.
On the second day, you decide to ask Dumbledore about the special mark. You bring the paper and enter the headmaster's office.
Soon, you realize that this is not something you can be involved in right now. You decide to forget everything about the mark and promise Dumbledore not to investigate any further. You walk out of the headmaster's office.
On the third day, you forced yourself to forget everything and began to work hard on learning magic and practicing as a knight.
During the first week, you refused all social activities and focused all your energy on learning magic and training as a knight.
During the second week, Harry and his friends seemed to have found new clues, and you gave them some hints.
They invited you to join in the investigation, but you declined all social activities and also refused them.
努力学习魔法，努力骑士修行。】
【第三周，赫敏再次邀请你与他们调查关于魔法石的事，你再次拒绝，你并不想参与邓布利多的新算计。
Quietly learning magic and practicing hard.
During the first month, quietly learning magic and practicing hard. Almost everyone has forgotten about you.
In the second month, you quietly study magic and practice diligently, almost everyone has forgotten about you.
In the third month, Hogwarts Easter holidays arrive and you decide to go home with Judas.
Judith invited you to go for a walk in Diagon Alley, and you accepted her invitation. As you passed by Ollivander's Wand Shop, you remembered the wand that was in your bag and decided to go in and ask about its origin.
Ollivander tells you the history of this wand.
After the Easter holiday, the train you were on had an explosive accident on the way and was stopped halfway. You were taken away by a mysterious organization.
You died under intense interrogation.
【Simulation ended and settling...】
"??? What's going on?" Kiz suddenly sat up from the bed.
Completion of the simulation, no rewards for this time.
Looking at the sudden death result, Kiz widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe. "The Hogwarts Express was taken and I died under intense interrogation?"
"What went wrong?" Qiz watched the simulation results carefully, staring off into space as this may have been the fastest he died in the simulator since he had started using it.
"Dumbledore shouldn't be the one to harm me. At least he wouldn't take the Hogwarts Express to catch me, nor would it be Snape or Flitwick. They have plenty of time to take care of their own affairs at school. So, it can only be the last possibility," Keats rolled over on the bed, staring out the window without blinking, his face becoming somewhat grim. "Aberforth!"
"Simulator! Look back at what happened in the third month!" Cheez speculated that the problem arose because he had shown the wand to Ollivander.
In the third month, Hogwarts Easter holidays arrive and you decide to go home with Judas.
Judith invited you to go for a walk in Diagon Alley, and you accepted her invitation. As you passed by Ollivander's Wand Shop, you remembered the wand that was in your bag and decided to go in and ask about its origin.
Ollivander told you that this wand was one of his great-great-grandfather's most prized creations, possessing extremely powerful magic, and was sold over 150 years ago."
When you returned, one of his friends came to his shop and, after some small talk, asked about the purpose of your visit.
After Easter, the train you were on was involved in an explosion and had to stop mid-journey. A group of powerful wizards wearing black cloaks quickly hijacked the train and took you away with them.
As one of the figures accidentally lifted their black robes, you caught a glimpse of a familiar symbol on their arm – the distinctive mark that had been traced from the box containing the regulation wand, a twisted skeletal hand with only three fingers clutching a broken wand.
You are forced to answer questions about the whereabouts of the Stealth Stretch Box and the 'Body Splitter', and you die from intense torture.
"I knew it!" Kizz suddenly jumps out of bed and hurriedly retrieves the paper with the special markings on the box, studying it carefully once again.
This mark appears somewhat blurry due to the magic tracing, but it is still possible to make out the image of a skeleton hand with only three fingers holding a broken wand. "It looks like this is the emblem of that organization."
Qi Zi was a little annoyed, wasting a simulation opportunity. "Alifande! It seems that I still need to keep my distance from these pure-bloods!"
Although Alifande did not actively harm him this time, it was also caused by him revealing his own information to a friend from that mysterious organization.
God knows to what extent these relationships, which have been intertwined for centuries among pure-bloods, have been manipulated by Slytherin or that mysterious organization, so it's better to be careful when dealing with them.
And those who dare to directly touch Hogwarts Express, either are truly evil or are so powerful that they can slap Dumbledore's face and still hold his respect.
Qi Zhi guessed that the 'Butcher' organization probably has both impressive strength and performance based on his encounter with them.
However, no matter how you look at it, it's not something he can provoke at this moment.
There's also the emblem which should come from this organization. In the simulation, he showed it to Dumbledore and Dumbledore's reaction was very strange. It's not known what Dumbledore said to him in the simulation that made him give up on further investigation.
There must be some important secrets hidden here. He was now wondering whether he should take this mark and go to Dumbledore in reality to ask him.
"Forget it! My life is more important! If Dumbledore can tell me directly, then he is not afraid that I will reveal it or he has other ways to keep it secret. Either way, it is a huge trouble. It's better not to know from Dumbledore. Wait until I become stronger and explore these miscellaneous secrets later!"
Thinking this, Kizi waved his wand and a small flame appeared. He used it to ignite the paper with strange markings in his hand. As it burned halfway, Kizi let go of the paper and watched as it rose higher and higher, quickly disintegrating into ashes in the heat and flames.
Furthermore, Kiz also decided to seal the wand for the time being and not take it out unless absolutely necessary.
Kiz also knew that this only buried the visible lightning, and this deadly landmine could still be detonated at any time.
At the moment when he killed the "dissector" and rescued Judith from the sewer, the conflict with that organization became a situation of life and death, with no possibility of reconciliation.
He just wanted the day of the thunderstorm to come a little later, at least to accumulate some strength.
Keez set himself a goal: before Easter, he must have the power to face that organization head-on in the simulator, rather than being taken away without resistance like in this simulation.
Only then can he start the investigation of this organization with peace of mind and dig out these hidden and sinister bastards one by one and crush them into pieces!
There are too many things hidden in this seemingly peaceful magical world, and one carelessness can lead to eternal damnation.
"It seems that in the future, I cannot choose to reduce the number of simulations in order to save energy points!" Chis reminded himself in his mind, looking at the unexpected result brought by this simulation.
Initially, when he saw that he could exchange things with energy points, he cherished every single energy point and saved them up for a long time without using them for simulation. It wasn't until he used all of them to exchange for the Knight Realm when Judas was in danger that he realized how foolish he was. If he had used all of them for simulation, he might not have to fear any organization and could simply confront them head-on with whoever came at him.
Of course, this is just a thought, but we really can't continue like this in the future. It's best to keep only a small portion of energy points for backup, and for any extra energy points, we should simulate immediately whenever we are about to make a decision or encounter an unexpected situation.
Furthermore, it is necessary to find an energy source that can power the simulator as soon as possible. It is known that the magic in the body can be used, but the total amount is too small. Even if the amount of magic stored in the body is similar to that of an adult wizard, it can only provide about one percent of energy for the simulator per day. If using qi cultivated from practice, it is even worse. Qi is consumed, but the charging progress is not displayed.
Looking at the remaining energy points, he decided to give it another try, to see what changes it will bring after not exploring the secrets of the mysterious organization or sealing the 'dissector's wand.'
