Harry Potter: Demon Monarch

Chapter -74.

In Azkaban Prison, Lester came alone to the northern part of Azkaban Island for an on-site inspection.

To be honest, the results of the inspection were quite bleak; the environment on this small island of Azkaban was worse than a barren desert.

Jagged rocks, sparse soil, and occasionally chilling winds made one shiver.

Building his own city in this place would indeed be quite a challenge.

"System, how much fear value do I currently have?"

[Ding! Current fear value: 3,000,000]

Hearing the large number reported by the system, Lester, although prepared, couldn't help but feel a little excited.

With 3,000,000 fear value, just the 1,000,000 lottery draw would be enough for him to draw three times. If used entirely to increase his magical power, it would also be sufficient to increase it by 30 points.

It's worth noting that he was just a 10-year-old child, yet his magical power already exceeded that of adults. How would other wizards compete when he grew up?

"System, give me a 1,000,000 fear value lottery draw."

Lester, who was wealthy and willful, did not hesitate to go for this 1,000,000 draw, as he still had 3,000,000 fear value, which was enough for him to splurge.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the item 'Spring of Life']

"Spring of Life?" Lester was taken aback, and the shape of a life potion appeared in his mind.

This thing is a good item; just one sip can prolong life. If there had been no Spring of Life at the time, Arlis probably would have long been done for.

After communicating with the system in his mind but receiving no response, Lester felt a little helpless.

Earlier, he had wanted to take the Spring of Life out, but the system actually hinted that he couldn't extract it.

[Ding! The environment currently does not allow the extraction of the Spring of Life]

"Cannot extract the Spring of Life?" Lester looked down at the rocky hill under his feet, infused magical energy and suddenly jumped down.

As soon as he jumped, Lester discovered there was a hole as tall as two people on the back side of the hill, meaning this hill was not solid but hollow.

"No wonder the Spring of Life couldn't be placed; the hill is strong on the outside but hollow inside." Lester shook his head helplessly and turned to the surrounding flat land.

It is well known that there's simply no way to dig a well on a hollow hill. If you dig down from the top and hit a hollow area, you'd just drop down directly. How could you even dig a well then?

Thus, based on his remaining high school geography knowledge, Lester began searching to the north of the island.

Through plate tectonics, the terrain of the small island formed uneven shapes. At this point, if you wanted to dig a well, it was best to do so in a depression.

As depressions facilitate the accumulation of water droplets, that's just a little piece of knowledge that Lester didn't remember very clearly.

"Let's put the Spring of Life here." Lester stepped on the clearly sunken ground beneath his feet and felt very satisfied.

Slightly opening his right hand and hovering above the ground, Lester silently chanted in his heart: "Place the Spring of Life!"

Boom!!!

With a loud sound, a structure resembling the fountain of the elf race from Warcraft appeared before Lester.

The Spring of Life occupied an area of 200 square meters, equivalent to a large flat in the 21st century.

The clear spring water lies quietly in the stone well, a hint of green slowly spreads within the water, seemingly expanding outward continuously from the spring as the center.

Just standing beside the Fountain of Life, Lester feels a rush of refreshment, the fatigue from the series of battles dissipating completely, rejuvenating his spirit significantly.

Moreover, having used the Protego Diabolica spell so many times and witnessing too much death, Lester's heart inevitably was filled with brutality.

Dark magic can corrupt one's mind, a fact acknowledged in the magical community.

Even though Lester used the dark magic given by the system and is not affected by its negative impacts, killing too many people will naturally alter one's state of mind.

If this continues, even if Lester is not influenced by Dark magic, he could still become a murderer who regards human lives as worthless due to years of slaughter. What difference would there be between him and Voldemort?

Fortunately, this time the Fountain of Life allows his tightly wound nerves to relax, restoring his soul to purity once again.

"This thing is amazing!" After quietly experiencing the sublimation of his soul, Lester felt as if he was filled with energy; if he were given a plow right now, he could pull three acres without breaking a sweat!

Indeed, a good item drawn with 1 million fear points, it can also provide him with energy and purify his soul—simply a divine thing!

Feeling the miraculous nature of the Fountain of Life even more, Lester did not rush to do anything else and decides to focus all his energy on the fountain.

He slowly extends his hands, scoops up a measure of spring water from the fountain, and without hesitation, pours it into his mouth.

As soon as the spring water enters Lester's mouth, before he can even savor it, the liquid swiftly glides into his body, traveling through his veins to every corner.

With the water flowing inside him, Lester's magical power gradually boils; it feels as if a flame is burning fiercely in his chest, and then he realizes that his magical power has been completely replenished!

"Power replenishing!" Lester exclaims in delight; this spring water that can directly refill his magical power is an essential remedy during battles!

Unlike other fantasy magical worlds, although the potion system in "Harry Potter" is highly developed, there has never been an elixir for replenishing magic power in the wizarding community.

This means that if wizards engage in a fight, they can only rely on their own magical power; moreover, they need to control the supply of magic power for each spell.

Because if too much magic power is provided and the spell fails to hit its target, it will result in a very unpleasant experience.

Therefore, in the wizarding world, the amount of magic power has become an important indicator of a wizard's strength.

For instance, the infamous Voldemort from a decade ago, did he use any profound black magic during battles? He still only knew the Killing Curse.

Of course, this does not mean that the Killing Curse isn't powerful; it simply means it isn't rare, as nearly every dark wizard knows it.

So why is Voldemort so formidable with the Killing Curse, while other wizards fall short?

First, Voldemort's murderous intent is undeniably strong. Secondly, his proficiency with the Killing Curse is also beyond doubt.

But most importantly, Voldemort possesses an immense reservoir of magical power!

Thus, in the wizarding world, magical power is crucial!
