Chapter 46: SS-Rank Special Regret Event!

"You didn't come to class yesterday. You not only traded with the goblins but also made a trip to Gringotts?"

Dudley asked an obviously rhetorical question to calm his surprise.

"That's right! I did even more!"

Dumbledore across from him grinned and laughed heartily.

Seeing Dudley's shocked expression, Dumbledore felt even better than having taken Felix Felicis. It was incredibly exhilarating!

As the greatest wizard of the twentieth century, how could it be acceptable for him to always be shocked by Dudley? It was time to switch roles!

Only to hear Dumbledore introduce cheerfully, "Yesterday, I straightforwardly entered Gringotts in the name of liquidating the property of the deceased Death Eaters families. I made the goblins open the Lestrange family's vaults for me.

The Hufflepuff Cup was enchanted with a duplication charm and a Fiendfyre Charm. Once touched, it would duplicate frantically and become extremely hot. But this was no challenge for me at all! I got the Horcruxes easily!

In addition, I also confiscated all the vaults of the Death Eaters whose family heirs had died out. The money was allocated to the public funds of Hogwarts and the Order of the Phoenix!

I plan to use this substantial property to improve the living conditions of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, especially those who are financially strapped!

Dudley, your previous words woke me up. I should pay attention to details!

I've figured it out! The members of the Order of the Phoenix follow me out of justice and trust in me. I can't just boss them around. I should also ensure their quality of life! I can't let them take risks without getting anything in return!

I also plan to use this money to set up a scholarship for outstanding wizards in every grade of Hogwarts and give more subsidies to wizards from poor Muggle families!"

Dudley fell silent. For a brief moment, he didn't know whether to complain or praise.

He really didn't expect that this old bee, Dumbledore, used to solely focus on eating the candy himself and not share any benefits with his subordinates!

Even a delinquent school bully knows to give his little brothers a share of the benefits. But Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the twentieth century, didn't understand this until he was over a hundred years old and only started putting it into practice now!

This is just off the charts! It's incredibly absurd!

Isn't this taking advantage of the honest wizards in the Order of the Phoenix?

Working for free and risking their lives! What an incredibly dedicated mindset!

An ordinary person like Dudley couldn't understand.

"Ha ha, as long as you're happy, Dumbledore!"

In the end, Dudley could only say this.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things anymore!"

Dumbledore noticed that Dudley wasn't very interested in the previous topic and took the initiative to broach a thorny one. "I carefully examined this Horcruxes, the Hufflepuff Cup. The soul fragment that Voldemort melted into it is filled with a lot of crazy and chaotic negative emotions.

Furthermore, it has powerful dark magic imbued in it! I can destroy it using some unconventional powerful means such as the Fiendfyre Curse, but I haven't done so for the time being.

There are two reasons for this. First, before we have an appropriate method to deal with the soul fragment of Voldemort in Harry's forehead scar, we can use this Horcruxes and other Horcruxes we discover in the future as experimental subjects to test various proper methods of separating soul fragments.

Second, after all, this golden cup is a relic left by the founders of Hogwarts. It holds extraordinary significance for both Hogwarts and Hufflepuff House. So, unless it's absolutely necessary, I don't want to destroy it."

"Dumbledore, you've got a point."

Dudley's eyes were fixed on the Hufflepuff Cup on the desk. The System rated this item as SS-Rank Special Regret Event, which was undoubtedly a very high rating, so high that Dudley at this stage doesn't even dare to dream of fusion this ancient magic item.

Moreover, the function of this SS-Rank magic item is rather ineffective, and the cost-effectiveness of fusion it is extremely low.

Turn water into wine? Make food more delicious? Transport food to a designated location? Protect loyal, honest, and kind people?

According to legend, Helga Hufflepuff, one of the founders of Hogwarts, was most proficient in magic food. Now it seems that this rumor is highly credible.

Dudley reached out and picked up the cup, ready to examine it closely.

Unexpectedly, the moment Dudley's hand touched the handle of the cup, his System rang again in his mind with a "ding".

[Congratulations, Host! By touching a special item, you have unlocked the SS-Rank Special Regret Event: The Lost Relics of the Hogwarts Founders.]

[Details: The four founders of Hogwarts each left a precious item for the magic school they painstakingly established, as the inheritance items for the four houses respectively.

However, over the long span of thousands of years, except for the Sword of Gryffindor, the other three treasures have been lost.

In modern times, Voldemort, who emerged out of nowhere, found these three lost treasures, but insanely turned them into Horcruxes, defiling them with his filthy soul.]

[Special reminder: Solving this regret event is divided into two stages.]

[Stage 1: Return of the Relics.]

[The Host needs to find all three lost treasures. On the basis of not damaging the three treasures, remove the soul fragment of Voldemort attached to the treasures. Finally, place the three treasures together with the Sword of Gryffindor in the headmaster's office of Hogwarts.]

[Upon completing the tasks of this stage, you will receive a fixed reward: One chance to enhance a spell (designated type).]

[Stage 2: Spiritual Heritage.]

[The Host needs to create a magic inheritance that conforms to the spiritual characteristics of the founders for each of the four houses at Hogwarts and teach it as a special course to the students of the four houses, benefiting future Hogwarts students.]

[Upon completing the tasks of this stage, you will receive a fixed reward: An opportunity to fusion the four Hogwarts relics without any consumption.]

[For each magic inheritance created for a house and when the scale of teaching reaches a certain level, you will receive a chance to fusion the relic of the corresponding house without consumption.]

[The treasures may be lost and their functions are too limited. Only by turning them into inheritances can they benefit future generations.]

[For special regret event, there are only fixed rewards and no additional rewards.]

Dudley held the Hufflepuff Cup, motionless, and was in a daze for quite a while until he finished receiving the long System prompt.

As soon as he finished processing this large amount of information, Dudley immediately grasped the most crucial point. He quickly sent a mental query to the System in his mind:

"What's a chance for the conceptual sublimation of a spell? What does 'designated type' mean?"

[The chance for the conceptual sublimation of a spell is a rule - level, conceptual, highly idealistic, and highly sublimated spell - enhancing ability.]

[Using this chance enables the host to upgrade a spell they've already mastered into a conceptual spell.]

[Conceptual spells are not restricted by any rules. There is no consumption or cost when using them. Any effect that can be explained by spell - related concepts can be achieved.]

["Designated type" means that after the host obtains this chance, they can designate a spell they have already mastered for conceptual sublimation according to their own will.]

After listening to and understanding the System's explanation, Dudley's mind was racing. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he asked the System another question in his mind:

"If I use this chance to sublimate the Reparo repairing spell, can I make the dead return to their original state?"
