Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 488 A Gift for Old Deng! Hogwarts Conceptual Aid Program!

"Dudley, what Christmas present are you going to give me?" Dumbledore walked up to Dudley and asked with a smile.

Now that his family is all together and Hogwarts is thriving, he has nothing to be sad or worried about except for Grindelwald and the Sharpening Stone Project, so he is naturally overjoyed.

He no longer dwells on the fact that most people give him books as Christmas gifts instead of wool socks, which symbolize family affection.

Dumbledore also had some guesses about the gift Dudley was going to give him.

He had watched Dudley grant the Dursleys magic through touch and knew that Dudley's talent could benefit others.

The fact that he was being so secretive and had to come in person to retrieve it must be related to this method.

"It seems you already guessed it."

Dali saw through Old Deng's thoughts, so he stopped being coy and wasted time, and directly pointed his finger at the back of Old Deng's hand.

He transferred the True Name Insight ability gained from merging the Marauder's Map and the Hogwarts full-scene sensing ability, along with the supreme teleportation ability gained from merging the Super Portable Key, to the past.

Of these, the first two were things that Dali had planned to give to Old Deng from the beginning. Now that he has conceptual perception abilities, he can easily do whatever information he wants to know or what situation he wants to sense, so he no longer needs these two perception abilities.

The ultimate teleportation ability was given away because Dudley had acquired the conceptualized opening spell and discarded it.

"As the principal, it's necessary to regularly monitor the situation within the school and check for any uninvited infiltrators. As for breaking through restrictions and teleporting, there's no need to keep bothering Phoenix Fox; it prefers to fight."

After transferring his abilities to Old Deng, Dali said.

Old Deng remained silent, simply closing his eyes to sense the three new abilities he had acquired.

A moment later, Old Deng sighed:

"This is so convenient! Dudley, thank you for the gift. By the way, have you looked at the Four Houses Heritage Magic Research Program I gave you?"

“I glanced at it and found some ideas I could learn from,” Dali replied. “But now is not the time to talk about that. I have a few more gifts to give you.”

"Huh? What else..."

Old Deng asked in confusion, but he could only finish his sentence before he could not continue.

Because his magical cultivation was rapidly increasing, sparks of wisdom and inspiration were bursting forth in his mind!

This was precisely the effect of the conceptual unlocking/door-opening spell. Dudley silently repeated the effect he had just applied to himself on Old Deng.

With the shackles of bloodline broken, the gates of wisdom and enlightenment are opened.

Old Deng's magical cultivation surged forward like a floodgate being opened, reaching the level of a legendary wizard with 5.6 times the power level.

This is the highest level he can reach by combining his current mental will, magical knowledge, and the wisdom gained through age.

Although Old Deng has become younger, his age of over a hundred years can still help him increase his magical cultivation.

Feeling the powerful magical energy surging within his body and sorting through the numerous thoughts and inspirations flowing through his mind, Old Deng was once again astonished by Dudley. He murmured:

"This is... my magical cultivation..."

"I have broken the shackles of your wizard bloodline. Your current magical cultivation is not only far superior to what it used to be, but it can also continue to improve, theoretically with no upper limit."

Furthermore, your wisdom and understanding have also been further enhanced.

Dali introduced it to Old Deng.

Old Deng instantly understood: "Dali, you've acquired another miraculous power? Before it was the Restoration Charm, is this 'Opening of Alohomora'?"

Is it because of the remarkable success of Hogwarts' ideological education reforms? You mentioned it to me before.

"That's right, your thinking has indeed become much sharper."

Dudley confirmed Old Deng's guess and then said, "Now, I can fulfill another promise I made to you earlier."

May every good and law-abiding person at Hogwarts, and indeed throughout the entire wizarding world, and even all of humanity, become like a dragon!

SSS-level Special Hidden Regret Event - Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Deviated from its Course: The first phase of the mission has been completed, granting Dudley the conceptual door-opening/lock-picking charm.

With the conceptualized door-opening/lock-unlocking spell, the second phase of this regrettable event—inheritance and innovation—can be given a significant boost.

It's important to know that the reward for this second-stage mission is a chance to upgrade the concept of a 'switching' magic spell.

The better you complete the task, the greater your freedom and autonomy in switching spells. If you can switch whenever you want and which spell you want, then Dudley essentially possesses all the Conceptual Spells.

Even for Dali at present, such a reward is an enormous temptation.

Therefore, Dali is willing to further expand his vision to a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Dudley, you're going to use this miraculous power on all white wizards and good Muggles?!"

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore raised his voice eight octaves, "That won't do. We can't rush things and be too eager for quick success; it will cause chaos."

"Of course I know that," Dudley said with a confident smile. "Although my abilities are now stronger than those of the gods, I no longer need to be stingy and can be generous and help the world."

But getting the benefits I give away won't be that easy.

Dumbledore was relieved.

"Dali, what do you want to do?"

"At present, I will only benefit Hogwarts."

Dudley replied, “I will fully open the doors of wisdom and understanding to those students who meet the four criteria for selection from the beginning, so that they are no longer limited by their intellectual talents and no longer find it difficult to understand and master those profound magical knowledge.”

The remaining students were categorized according to their specific manifestations of self-reflection and correction, thus opening the door to wisdom and understanding at different levels.

This door can be fully opened, or it can be half-opened, or even just a crack.

As for the students' wizard bloodline shackles, I will set conditions for them to be passively activated.

If they can raise their magical cultivation to the upper limit of their bloodline before the age of forty through their own efforts, and if they can maintain their established good moral character and not go astray throughout the process...

Then their bloodline shackles will loosen and partially open, allowing their magical cultivation to rise to the level of a newly initiated legendary wizard.

This condition is not considered harsh if the door to wisdom and understanding is opened.

If a student's wizarding bloodline is already sufficient to propel them to the level of a legendary wizard, like Cedric, then after fulfilling the conditions I mentioned earlier, the shackles of their bloodline will loosen to the point that their magical abilities can double their original bloodline talent.

Dumbledore listened to Dudley's detailed explanation of the implementation rules, nodding repeatedly.

"That's good, the balance is just right. Dali, when do you plan to execute this plan?"

“I already did it, right when I was explaining it to you.”

That's how decisive and efficient Dudley is when he gets things done.

Just now, he had already, as he had said, applied the passive, conceptualized door-opening/lock-unlocking spell to the Hogwarts student body.

A conceptual repair spell that was passively triggered was also added specifically.

From now on, students who meet the ideological standards will automatically open doors of wisdom and understanding to varying degrees, depending on the circumstances. If their thinking goes astray, the doors they opened will be closed by the conceptual repair spell.

At the age of forty, students who meet the aforementioned conditions will have their bloodline shackles loosened as promised. However, if they later turn bad, their bloodline shackles, magical cultivation, and intelligence will still be reverted to their original state by the conceptual repair spell.

Of course, Dudley wouldn't treat his cousin and some of his closest friends the same way.

Instead, they were treated as special cases, and their bloodline shackles were now completely broken, just like Dudley himself and Dumbledore.

As long as they are eager to learn and willing to hone their minds and wills, their magical abilities can be improved infinitely.

Even without learning or practicing, as long as one can live, one's magical cultivation can increase infinitely with age.

However, Dali wouldn't let his close friends be so dejected.

"Nadal, the professors, the other white wizards in the wizarding world, and the good Muggles, what do you intend to do..."

When Dumbledore heard that Dudley had directly implemented the support plan for the Hogwarts students, he was secretly impressed and then inquired about the other groups.

"I just happened to open the doors of wisdom and understanding of the Hogwarts professors, and the degree to which they were opened varied."

As for the rest, no rush, let's talk about it after Project Sharpening Stone is completely completed!
