Chapter 497 The Laws of the Shining Moon
Before the Dragon Gate began, Hermione had given Hilmi a task.
To develop a means to save a wizard's life in a critical moment.
Now, after more than half a month, he has finally produced results.
It was still a round table hall, but the Great Blessing at the center had turned into the luminous blue of pyroxene.
"Isn't this the meditation room?" Hermione realized as soon as she appeared that they were still in the Room of Requirement, but it wasn't a transformation of the meditation room.
Hilmi replicated the Round Table Hall in the Room of Requirement to a perfect 1:1 scale.
The light on the large table was an energy source projected from the core of the brilliance stone at Hogwarts, far across the Channel in the Scottish Highlands. "What is this?"
Looking around at everything familiar, the firelight from the fireplace and the blue glow of the pyroxene reflected each other. Compared to the recreation in the spiritual world, the real scene was even more poignant.
Hilmi chuckled: "Don't you think that the Faded One's ability to teleport back to the Great Blessing no matter where they are is perfect for escaping?"
Whether you go there voluntarily or are resurrected at a blessing point after death, you can immediately be taken away from the trap.
He took out a pendant, which was engraved with a full moon and intricate line patterns in silver.
"This is the 'Lunar Law' Holy Seal I created using the Holy Seals of the werewolves and the runes of the Great Order Runes."
He led Hermione and pushed open the door on one side of the hall. This quiet, solemn, and dark room was once the place where Granny Enya, who had untied her fingers, and the place where the fingers of the messenger of God were located. It was the place where the Faded Ones listened to divine pronouncements and transformed the memories of those who had been defeated into equipment and power.
Now, instead, there is a towering Hermione statue beneath the full moon.
It blends the girlishness of the real Hermione with the mature feminine curves of the Finger Witch, looking down at everyone who enters the room with eyes full of compassion and divinity, her outstretched arms as if to embrace the believers.
"You want to spread my faith?" Hermione asked, frowning.
Hilmi shrugged: "What you need is a cost-effective method to save a wizard's life in a critical moment."
"I've thought about it for a long time, but it's difficult to achieve my goal simply by reducing the cost of magical items; if you want to scale it up, the labor costs and raw material costs alone will drive Beauxbatons crazy!"
"But faith is different!"
He pointed to the holy seal in his hand.
"I inscribed within it a 'Law: Transference'—an Order Rune version of Apparition."
"When the holder is in danger, it will automatically trigger and bring them directly back to the Great Blessing, which is here."
"The power to activate this magic comes from the core of the radiant stone, which is that ball of light."
Because it was improved using the holy mark of werewolves, silver was used as the raw material. However, even if cheap wood, copper, iron, or stone were used, it would not affect its efficacy.
Powered by the sapphire core, the holder's faith in Hermione serves as the anchor for the Law spell, and with a small, modified enchantment similar to a peephole, this escape tool is complete.
"As you know, since Hogwarts was established, the energy of the Brilliant Stone Core has been at full capacity year-round. It doesn't need to support a mobile castle, nor does it need to resist attacks or nuclear explosions. In the long run, this is actually not good for its stability."
Hilmi continued, "We can make good use of this energy. Even if we frequently use it to pay for the wizards' apparitions, it won't run out. Of course, if we transfer tens of thousands of people at once, it might cause them to temporarily become incapacitated, but that scenario—well, that would probably only happen if the Goblet of Fire were wiped out by a nuclear bomb, right?"
Hermione glared at Hilmi; he always had a nasty way of speaking.
"But this design is tantamount to forcing users to believe in me —"
Even now, she is not very willing to be a "god".
Werewolves have converted to her in large numbers in order to break free from the curse, and in New Hogsmeade, many Muggles and wizards have begun to entrust their hearts to her because of her power and their need for prayers for new life.
Now, is this scope going to be expanded to the entire global wizarding community?
Hilmi shrugged: "This is a life-saving item. If you don't want to sacrifice your faith, then go and buy the expensive fairy version. Oh, that one might not be able to escape. Only our law: teleportation can ignore anti-apparition teleportation."
Relying on the power of the Great Order Rune, this transfer effect is extremely domineering, allowing even those trapped in the fairy domain of the Extinction Faction to escape successfully.
This greatly appealed to Hermione, because according to Grindelwald's plan, the warriors of the seven schools and the army of wizards would later venture deep into the area.
That would be an absolutely brutal, life-or-death war for the continuation of the race. If the losses were too great, even if the Wish Cup was successfully destroyed, it would still be a heavy blow to the wizarding civilization. After all, it represents the most elite forces of the seven prestigious schools and the backbone of the new generation of the magical world.
Especially Harry and the others, they also want to go in—
Hermione felt like Mrs. Molly, worrying herself sick over her bunch of sons, who were just a bunch of brats who only caused her trouble.
She recalled the scene in the library earlier, where Krum and the group of four were locked in a fierce confrontation. Even someone as oblivious as her when it came to matters of the heart was beginning to sense the unusual feelings that Harry and the others had.
"They're all such a handful!"
The Finger Witch has no emotions; she is as cold as the wind in the Holy Snowfield!
Seeing Hermione remain silent, Hilmi assumed she was still hesitating and quickly added.
"We don't need everyone to become your believer; faith is just an anchor."
He had prepared in advance and pulled out a notebook: "Look, I've done a tiered design."
In Hilmi's vision, even the lowest level of worship, which is merely verbal and perfunctory, can guarantee a transfer opportunity.
However, this is a one-time use only. Once it is used up, it cannot be recharged, and the holy mark will become a complete decoration.
Furthermore, those who are willing to commit a certain amount of faith and maintain a low frequency of daily prayer can gain more chances to save their lives on a monthly basis. These chances can be accumulated, with a maximum of three.
Similarly, those who are more devout, pray more attentively and frequently will receive protection more often, even an unlimited number of times.
Hilmi even designed a "VIP service" that could directly trigger the full moon's radiance to eliminate the source of danger, as if a god had descended.
"I feel like you're using me to earn money for your ancestors' worship—" Hermione said with a dark face. She had learned the word "ancestor worship" from Eastern books.
"The problem is that the incense is completely useless to us." Hilmi shrugged regretfully. He wouldn't have done such a thankless task if it weren't for Hermione's request.
"Therefore, I designed a dual-track system."
He pointed to another path in the notebook.
"Faith is just the minimum requirement. Even a novice believer can achieve the effect of guiding the Holy Seal to be energized, and no further requirements will be made."
"The additional features and benefits can only be obtained by completing tasks and making contributions."
He opened his arms: "This entire round table hall is the great blessing I designed for the wizards."
"Like the Faded Ones, they will receive their missions here, be transferred through the Great Blessing, and return to collect their rewards upon completion."
He imagined with great interest: "Maria could stay beside your idol, like Granny Enya before her, granting prayers to the werewolf followers, or conveying your divine pronouncements."
"The room that used to belong to Sir Hundred Wisdom will now be reserved for Filch and Professor Figg. Although the tits are excellent, they are Squibs after all, and their overall strength is too poor. They can only play the role of intelligence gathering. However, they can issue missions to wizards here in the future."
Hermione nodded in agreement. The position of the Titmouse Order had indeed been somewhat awkward in the past. They were always at a disadvantage in their confrontation with the witch hunters, and the system of the Order of the Phoenix was even more crude. Basically, Dumbledore would give the order, Moody would lead the team, and a bunch of thugs would rush in, lacking sophisticated multi-line micro-management.
However, by relying on the transfer and central function of the Great Blessing, the two can be better combined.
"The wand maker Mikhail has taken the place of the blacksmith to maintain and make wands for wizards."
"As for the spirit trainer—" He glanced at Hermione cautiously.
"Doesn't the Mughal Party preserve the souls of many dead wizards? Some of them may still want to fight their comrades. I can transform them here into a state like Dumbledore's and use the lily of the valley in the cemetery to strengthen their ashes."
Hermione had promised the White Wizard that she would not reveal the Soul Pact ritual, nor would she convert involuntary souls.
"Beauxbatons' medical equipment and Lily's potions can also be stored here—"
