But amidst Charle's low whispers, Dak remained nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Charle sighed regretfully, feeling like he had missed out on a fortune.
However, he immediately turned his gaze towards this incredibly real desolate coast.
The churning black, viscous, oil-like seawater, the rugged strange rocks, and the greyish-white sand didn't look ordinary in any way.
Suddenly, a thought sprouted in Charle's mind.
"Should I try a taste?"
Immediately after, he pinched his nose and found a puddle where the viscous black seawater had gathered.
A mouthful of black seawater with a strong fishy smell went down, and it was actually converted into a considerable amount of deduction points by the Deep Blue system.
"Deduction points +200."
This was already the amount of points Charle would usually accumulate after countless meals.
But here, all he had to do was drink a mouthful of seawater.
And before Charle's eyes, a vast black ocean was churning!
Charle took a deep breath, his eyes filled with ecstasy.
If he drank all of this black ocean outside R'lyeh, how many deduction points would that be?
It would probably be calculated in the billions!
Then Charle reached out again, and in this dream, the only wand he had ever touched in reality actually appeared in his hand.
Along with the incantation, a high-frequency laser was emitted from the tip of the wand, easily cutting a black strange rock into pieces.
Charle picked up a piece and threw it into his mouth. A taste even more disgusting than seawater spread in his mouth.
But what followed was the pleasant prompt from the Deep Blue system.
"Deduction points +400."
Charle took a deep breath.
Judging by this, the deduction points that could be converted from this rocky beach with strange stones might even be more than that from the black ocean.
If this outer area contained so many deduction points, what about the ancient city named R'lyeh at the end of the rocky beach?
If he ate that city along with everything in the central temple, how many deduction points would that be?
If all these deduction points were invested in the Lumos spell, what would the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, which had already been deduced, become?
Charle couldn't even imagine it anymore!
At this moment, he no longer felt the panic he had when he first arrived here. Instead, he felt as if he had arrived in some kind of paradise on earth.
R'lyeh ×
Deep Blue's buffet √
"Thank you, the Ancient Ones, thank you, the Great Old Ones, praise R'lyeh."
"Then I won't be polite."
The next moment, Charle was like someone eating a baguette dipped in mushroom soup, holding a piece of black strange rock in one hand and dipping it fully in the viscous seawater with the other, then putting it into his mouth.
Prompts of increasing deduction points kept ringing in Charle's mind.
After biting Dak a few times and gaining over thirty thousand deduction points.
Charle's total deduction points soared like a rocket, quickly exceeding fifty thousand points again.
His eyes showed anticipation, and he asked Deep Blue in his mind.
"If I want to continue deducing the Lumos spell and further upgrade the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, how many points will it roughly need?"
Deep Blue gave an answer.
"According to the previous deduction process, the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell may have multiple upgrade directions next, such as continuing to evolve towards a celestial body, with the density and energy level of the sphere emitted by the spell increasing, and also having a powerful gravitational binding effect."
"Another direction is to strengthen the energy radiation effect, taking a path similar to a gamma-ray burst to enhance lethality."
"..."
"It is estimated that at least one million deduction points are needed."
When he heard this number, if it were before, Charle would probably exclaim how long it would take to accumulate this much.
But now, Charle just wanted to say - only one million?
If he stayed in R'lyeh, he could probably eat up millions of deduction points here in a day.
"At that time, I'll just add a dish here, Gamma-ray burst roasted Great Old Ones!"
But as Charle was excitedly thinking about this, he was startled to find that the scenery of R'lyeh around him was rapidly receding.
He only had time to gulp down the last large mouthful of black stone fragments before watching R'lyeh disappear before his eyes.
His dream shattered, and reality descended, revealing where Charle was.
This seemed to be a hospital ward, with clean white sheets, curtains, and drapes.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, making the room feel especially warm and bright.
But right now, in Charle's eyes, these couldn't compare to even a single hair of the eerie and bizarre scene in R'lyeh.
Great are the Great Old Ones, mighty are the Great Old Ones.
I beg you, let me return to R'lyeh just one more time!
I admit I was speaking too loudly just now, and things like gamma-ray bursts sounded a bit scary.
But you have to believe me, it's just like warming up with a small sun heater in winter, it's very warm and comfortable, you have to believe me!
Charle sat up blankly from the hospital bed, his face full of grief and regret, muttering in a low voice.
"I was so stupid, really, I was so stupid."
"All I could think about was that, why didn't I eat a few more bites?"
"A free Deep Blue buffet, and no entrance fee, where else can you find that?!"
Just as Charle was immersed in the sorrow of losing R'lyeh, by his bedside, Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Moody, Fudge, and a host of other figures from the wizarding world looked at Charle's behavior, and expressions of deep sorrow also appeared on their faces.
"Charle Evans, this child who just escaped death..."
"Has he gone mad?"
"Yes, we can't even imagine the horrific torture he suffered at Dak's hands."
"Just now, while he was asleep, I heard him shouting Dak's name, and saying things like 'give him another bite', that deranged dark wizard must have abused him with starvation."
"Poor child, this is our wizarding world's fault!"
Dumbledore sighed, drew out the Elder Wand, and said in a low voice.
"Let me use magic to help him calm down for a while."
"After a period of rest, perhaps the shadow of this terrible event can fade from his mind."
"Hogwarts will always open its doors for you, child..."
At the tip of the Elder Wand, a silver light appeared, like the light of a Patronus.
Just seeing it gave one a feeling of healing and forgetting worries.
Dumbledore slowly brought the Elder Wand closer to Charle, and said softly.
"Sleep, keep sleeping, Charle."
"Forget these terrible things you've experienced..."
Everyone else also showed solemn and serious expressions, as if praying for Charle, this poor child who had been caught up in a terrible event.
And just as the light of the Elder Wand approached him, Charle had recovered from the grief of losing R'lyeh.
Or rather, a new idea had replaced his longing for R'lyeh.
This old man with a beard in front of him must be Dumbledore.
Then the wand in his hand must be the legendary Deathly Hallow - the Elder Wand, said to possess unparalleled magic.
In the original Harry Potter book, even Voldemort, when dueling with the Elder Wand, was miserably bounced back a Killing Curse by a single Expelliarmus.
The power of this item is absolutely the ceiling of the wizarding world.
So what if...
He took a bite?
How many deduction points would that be?
So the next moment, under the shocked gaze of everyone in the ward, Charle opened his mouth and bit down on the Elder Wand.
The spell Dumbledore was brewing was startled into vanishing by Charle's sudden action.
"???"
"How long has he been hungry? He's so hungry he's resorting to gnawing on a wand?!"
"Dak, look from hell with your sinful soul, look at what you've driven a poor child to!"
