Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 275 Discussing Subsequent Strategies! Anesthetize Ecclesiastes!

"Great! Cousin!" Harry cheered.

“But in the future, your Parseltongue ability may weaken, or you may even have lost it,” Dudley warned.

Harry wasn't particularly bothered by it: "It's nothing. Talking to snakes is cool, but the process is kind of creepy. It's better that it's gone."

Dudley nodded. It was indeed a good thing that Harry no longer had Parseltongue; at least he wouldn't accidentally wander into the Chamber of Secrets and encounter uncontrollable dangers.

At that moment, Dumbledore walked over.

Although he didn't want to interrupt Dudley and Harry's conversation, he still wanted to carefully examine Harry's body and soul for any abnormalities.

Firstly, to ensure Harry's health and safety; secondly, to fully confirm the effectiveness of the action of separating the Horcruxes containing Voldemort's soul fragments.

Dali had the same idea.

Together with Old Man Deng, they used their detection magic to carefully examine Harry's internal organ functions and the current state of his soul and mental energy.

Everything went well, except for some fluctuations in mental energy.

That was a minor effect caused by the disconnection between Voldemort's soul fragment and Harry's own soul. It's nothing serious; he can recover completely after a good night's sleep.

After confirming the situation, Dali sent his cousin back to class.

Inside the wand-making room built by the Room of Requirement, only Dudley and Old Man Dumbledore remained, chatting about Horcruxes and Voldemort.

"Check on Ecclesia and Voldemort's main souls to see if anything unusual has happened since a fragment of their souls was destroyed."

Dudley's expression turned serious, and he spoke calmly and collectedly.

As he spoke, he took out the "bottle of water" surveillance device stored in his personal space to check it.

Dumbledore stopped Dudley's actions, explaining:

"While you were talking to Harry, I used magic to connect Peeves' senses and confirm the situation."

Everything was calm.

Voldemort's main soul was not affected by the loss of one of his Horcruxes and remained dormant inside Professor Urcrus's abdomen.

As for Professor Ecclesia, Severus, as always, was... comforting her.

Today is Thanksgiving. Professor Eckeris, who was born in the United States, is feeling emotionally turbulent. Although she doesn't show it much in front of Severus, he still notices it.

Severus believed that Professor Ecclesia's mental capacity had been overloaded for far too long, and she longed to escape her current predicament and have a fresh start.

Dudley, upon hearing this, fell into thought. After a while, he suggested to Dumbledore:

"Later, Snape can be allowed to test the Soul-Soothing Potion on Ursy!"

I heard from Professor Slughorn that they already had some basic, substandard formulas and byproducts, so they had Snape pick out some that were stable and trick Erskine into taking them.

Let Ecclesia become a little more dazed, and let that foolish Voldemort's main soul behave itself!

Eckeris is a clever woman with very low moral standards. She is often full of ingenuity and cunning. Now she is showing signs of mental instability. If she loses her temper, she might give us a shock that is hard to accept.

Now that we have discovered it, we must take precautions and act early to nip the accident in the bud!

"It's a good thing for both her and us to keep Ecclesia's mind and spirit from getting too active."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore hesitated and pondered deeply.

He wasn't thinking about whether it was inhumane or not; he was used to it.

Since meeting Dudley, he has done or sent people to do a lot of dirty work, all against hostile dark wizards, but what's done is done, and there's no point in arguing about it.

He was worried that if Voldemort's main spirit in Ecclesia's belly intermittently regained consciousness, it might discover the method of drugging them when it was awake, thus ruining their long-running plan.

But considering Snape and Professor Slughorn's potion-making skills, he wasn't so worried.

Then he thought that even if he didn't do that, he couldn't avoid the unexpected sudden outburst of Voldemort's main spirit.

The outcome of going mad in a state of frenzy and the rage of discovering a conspiracy in a state of lucidity is about the same.

It's just that Voldemort's main spirit is more troublesome when he's conscious.

However, administering those substandard but stable soul-anesthetizing potions would reduce the chances of Voldemort's main soul going mad or becoming lucid, causing him to fall into a longer slumber, which was actually a safer approach.

Moreover, anesthetizing Ecclesiastes would improve Snape's mood and provide experimental data for the development of a soul-anesthetizing potion, achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop!

This is feasible!

Dumbledore had figured it out and was about to respond to Dudley.

Unexpectedly, he heard Dali say, half to himself and half to him, that:

"Actually, Harry is no longer Voldemort's Horcrux, so the life or death of Voldemort's main soul no longer affects Harry."

We could even flip the table and lay our cards on the table, expose Ecclesia's disguise, and capture Voldemort's true form.

With you, with me, and with my cousin who can amplify the power of my spells tenfold, let alone a mere madman Voldemort whose condition has plummeted to rock bottom, even Voldemort at his peak wouldn't be able to withstand a round of our spell attacks.

The only concern is that if the crazed Voldemort's main soul self-destructs or dies accidentally under our attack, but is resurrected by the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan or by a soul weapon currently unknown to us, and continues to cause trouble around the world, it will have some negative effects.

The ghost cultivator Mo Xuan used the broken Ten Thousand Souls Banner to imprison and refine Voldemort's divided soul, so the Ten Thousand Souls Banner may very well have become a new Voldemort soul weapon.

I don't want to give the ghost cultivator Mo Xuan another big gift; that would be aiding the enemy.

"Let's stick to your previous idea and have Severus use some of the current version of the Soul Anesthetic Potion on Professor Ecclesia!"

Upon hearing Dudley's even more radical plan, Dumbledore quickly agreed to the more moderate approach he had previously proposed.

He continued, "Until we can separate the Voldemort soul fragment from the three Horcruxes without injury, and until you obtain that miraculous power to bring the dead back to life, we must proceed with a cautious approach."

That was also your initial idea; we can't just change it because Harry eliminated the danger and hidden risks.

That ghost cultivator Mo Xuan has already thrown the Western magic world into chaos, so let's not add to his troubles.

Tom studied dark magic abroad for ten years, and I'm sure you, who have absorbed his wand, can relate to that.

Some ancient and profound dark magic doesn't require a wand, so neither you nor I know if the current Voldemort master has any hidden magical abilities.

Unless absolutely necessary, we should refrain from taking action at this stage.
