Chapter 49: New Fusion! Wandless Spellcasting! Personal Space!

"Intimidate Malfoy and monitor Crouch!"

Dudley pondered briefly and offered his suggestion. "Lucius bullies the weak and fears the strong. Dumbledore, go bluff him, and he'll submissively hand over Voldemort's Horcruxes.

As for Barty, we need to scout first and then monitor him! You should go there personally to determine whether Barty is still alive and if he's hiding at home.

If that's the case, recruit a few powerful and reliable subordinates to keep an eye on him. If Voldemort's main soul doesn't show up for a long time, we might have to use this guy Barty as bait.

If Barty has already escaped, then we can only use the clumsy approach of sending people all over the world to catch him."

"Got it. I'll go and handle it right away!"

Dumbledore turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Dudley called out to him.

Seeing Dumbledore turn back in confusion, Dudley reminded him seriously:

"Dumbledore, you've already started to shift towards being decisive, straightforward, and uncompromising. That's excellent.

But please also retain a bit of modesty and caution while remaining confident. Don't let it turn into arrogance.

You're very powerful, but you're not without weaknesses. Don't be reckless and act bravado when dealing with things you're not completely sure about, particularly in matters related to dealing with Voldemort and collecting Horcruxes. If you have time, you should discuss it with me.

I don't want to retrieve your body, and I definitely don't want to see the huge advantage we painstakingly built up ruined!"

From the matter of Dumbledore going to Gringotts and forcibly retrieving the cup Horcrux without prior notice, Dudley smelled a crisis.

In the original story, this old codger was fascinated by the Resurrection Stone when he went to the Gaunt's old house to retrieve the ring Horcrux inlaid with the Resurrection Stone. He was fascinated by the Resurrection Stone and wanted to use it to resurrect his relatives, so he put on the ring and fell victim to the dark magic trap left by Voldemort, and his lifespan was reduced to only one year.

So, Dudley thought it necessary to remind this old codger not to go from one extreme to another and become complacent and stumble.

"I understand, Dudley. Thank you for your concern. I'll be fine. I won't have any issues until I see you completely transform the wizarding world!"

Dumbledore, for some reason, looked at Dudley with a gratified smile, then Apparate and disappeared on the spot.

"I wonder if this old codger really understood what I mean!"

Dudley muttered softly looking at the spot where Dumbledore disappeared.

"Cousin, what did you say?"

Harry beside him asked curiously.

"Just some nonsense. It's not important. Harry, you go downstairs first and help my parents review the spells they previously learned together with Hagrid. I have some things to deal with and will descend later."

Dudley had an idea in mind and said to Harry.

"Okay, cousin. I have to tell Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, and Hagrid that even Dumbledore won't be able to complete the full class today!"

Harry put away his black notebook and the textbooks he carried with him and walked downstairs at a somewhat brisk pace.

After Harry left, Dudley took out the D-rank Poplar Wood Wand that had been nourished by his magic power and had achieved a 100% compatibility rate. He held it in his hand.

Then he walked to the bookshelf and picked up the large C-rank magic suitcase whose contents had been emptied already.

"Fusion!"

Dudley sent an instruction to the System mentally.

In the blink of an eye, the Poplar Wood Wand and the magic suitcase disappeared, turning into two invisible fluctuations that merged with Dudley.

[Instruction executed! Consumed 1 D-rank fusion opportunity and 1 C-rank fusion opportunity.]

[Current remaining opportunities to fuse magic items: 1 C-rank opportunity.]

[Congratulations to the host! You have fused a fine wand with full compatibility with yourself!]

[Obtained Perfect-level Wandless Spellcasting!]

[From this moment on, your body and soul naturally possess the functions of a wand, allowing you to cast spells with unparalleled smoothness.]

[Moreover, different from the Wandless Spellcasting learned by other wizards through cultivation, your Wandless Spellcasting can still receive the magic enhancement of the Poplar Wood Wand itself.]

[Obtained the ability to locate trace threads!]

[You have gained the ability to construct, place, and peel off trace threads with magic power. You can perceive in real-time the targets to which you have attached trace threads, provided that they have not removed the trace threads.]

[Acquired partial knowledge and skills in wand making!]

[You have mastered the basic principles of wand making and learned the secret knowledge and skills of the Ollivander family for handling poplar wood and dragon heartstring materials.]

[Congratulations to the host! You have fused a magic suitcase with a volume of one thousand cubic meters!]

[Obtained a portable storage space (one thousand cubic meters)!]

[You can open a spatial passage at any time and place to store and retrieve items that the storage space can accommodate, whether they are living or inanimate objects.]

[The weight of the items stored in the portable storage space will not pose any burden to you. The decay, deterioration, and rusting speeds of inanimate objects stored in the storage space will be greatly reduced.]

[If you want to store living things without suffocating them, don't forget to store the necessities to maintain their lives, such as air, water, food, etc.]

[In the future, you can increase the capacity of the portable storage space or add other special effects by casting spells on yourself or fusing other space-related magic items.]

[Detected that the host has fused a space-related magic item, and the portable storage space has automatically acquired the characteristics of the System Space.]

[Characteristics of the System Space: 1 It cannot be destroyed. Unless the host's will and spirit completely perish, the System Space will always remain intact.

2 It is isolated from the inside and outside. Unless allowed by the host's subjective will, no entity or object can enter or exit the System Space.]

[Acquired partial spell-casting techniques for manufacturing space-related magic items!]

[You have mastered the spell-casting techniques of the advanced Space Extension Charm, the Featherweight Charm, the Preservation Charm, and the Permanent Spell magic.]

Dudley closed his eyes and carefully felt his current state.

Great! So refreshing!

He casually waved his hand and recited the incantations of the Levitation Charm and Accio Boulder.

The large wooden box containing Harry's hair, the Hufflepuff Cup placed on the desk, a withered and broken limb of a Bowtruckle and a feather of an Augurey hidden in a drawer under the bed, as well as a large number of Galleons and gold ingots, all floated out and hovered in the air in front of Dudley.

Dudley drew a large circle in the air, and a less regular circular spatial passage instantly emerged.

He waved his hand again, and the large pile of floating things scrambled into his portable storage space.

After storing this batch of things, Dudley took out Quirrell's Cracked Wand (B-Rank) and Diggory's Wand (C-Rank) from the inner pocket of his jacket and threw them into the spatial passage as well.

Subsequently, the spatial passage automatically closed according to his will and disappeared.

Since allying with Dumbledore and having a powerful and excellent laborer who ran around all over the place, Dudley had postponed the plan to fuse Quirrell's cracked wand and quickly obtain a large number of spell-casting techniques for both white and black spells.

He redrafted a brand-new fusion plan.

Now, unexpectedly, Dumbledore had brought back Voldemort's Horcruxes early. Moreover, it was an important item like the Hufflepuff Cup, which was related to an SS-Rank regret event. And the compatibility of his natal Poplar Wood Wand had also maxed out.

Without a second thought, he carried out the new fusion plan.

After all, it was safer to keep important items on him.

To his surprise, after fusing the magic suitcase, the System gave him a Pleasant Surprise!

Now, the Horcruxes were even safer in his custody.
