in the following days.

John directly colluded with Snape and Dumbledore and received the preferential treatment of free classes.

In addition to the necessary activities required to maintain the character every day, almost all the time is spent in the Room of Requirement looking for the crown.

And the situation was indeed similar to what Dumbledore expected.

In just half a month, a crown that was constantly exuding magical energy appeared in front of John's eyes.

It was hidden in a cupboard.

There was no packaging on the outside, just mixed in with a bunch of other junk, and the surface was covered with a thick layer of dust.

This makes it look ordinary, a bit like the plastic jewelry that little girls use when playing house.

However, when John carefully brushed off the dust on its surface, the huge turquoise gem in its center shone brightly again.

The crown body, which is made of silver and looks like an eagle spreading its wings, has no traces of oxidation.

There is also a row of small words engraved on the bottom - Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest wealth of mankind!

These are enough to prove that it is Ravenclaw's crown!

Then all that's left is to get rid of the remnants of Voldemort's soul.

"call--"

John took a deep breath.

He carefully put the crown on his head.

Almost the moment the crown touched his scalp, a chill penetrated into John's mind.

With the blessing of this coolness, John could clearly feel that his thinking speed and memory ability had improved by more than one level.

This effect is somewhat similar to intelligence enhancers, but it is stronger in effect and has no time limit or side effects.

Obviously, this is the so-called effect of the crown on 'increasing the wearer's wisdom'.

Rowena Ravenclaw is indeed a great and talented scholar.

It is very difficult to make magic props have an almost permanent benefit effect on people.

The effect and practicality of the crown may not be that outstanding, and even a bottle of intelligence enhancer can replace part of its functions to a certain extent.

But if we want to talk about the difficulty of making, the crown must far surpass the three relics of the sword, the locket and the golden cup.

And just when John was sighing at Ms. Ravenclaw's powerful magical attainments.

A cold magic power slowly invaded John's brain through the coolness coming from the crown.

Feeling this, the corners of John's mouth raised slightly.

That cold magic power is naturally the remnant soul of Voldemort.

Its smell was all too familiar to John, who had swallowed up almost all the remaining souls of Voldemort.

But compared to other remnant souls.

This remnant soul lurking in the crown seems to have been blessed by the crown. It behaves more cunning and cautious than its previous counterparts. It even learned to use the crown's own bonus channel to the wearer to disguise itself and invade.

Effects on the human brain.

What if someone with no experience comes in and wears the crown?

To the surprise, he might actually be killed by Voldemort's remnant soul.

It's a pity that John not only has experience, but also has the ability to 'chew'.

The smile on John's face became brighter and brighter.

He pretended to be overjoyed, wore a crown, and kept looking at himself in front of a broken mirror.

Take advantage of this opportunity.

Voldemort's remnant soul also accelerated the invasion.

He began to continuously transfer his own power into John's mind.

After the complete transfer, Voldemort's remnant soul finally tore through his disguise, directly blocked the amplification of John from the crown, and began to laugh maniacally and invade John's undefended brain.

What he didn't notice was...

The piece of 'John's brain' he is in is actually just a small area isolated by John using [Occlumency].

At the same time, John's mental power and 'chewing' ability materialized, and the huge black dragon was hiding behind the 'heart wall' created by [Occlumency], staring at him eagerly.

"Kacha—"

As Voldemort's remnant soul began to encroach on the nearby "heart realm" on a large scale, the "heart wall" used for isolation began to collapse piece by piece.

The ferocious black dragon didn't even wait for the 'heart wall' to completely shatter, then rushed out and bit Voldemort's remaining soul!

"ah--"

Amidst the shrill wails, Voldemort's remnant soul was struggling hard.

But this is just useless work.

Due to the limitation of the 'chewing' ability, Voldemort's remnant soul had no way to break free. It could only chew it up under the black dragon's hand, turn it into the purest magic power bit by bit, and integrate it into John's body.

John also showed a satisfied smile at this time.

He sat cross-legged on the ground and began to digest the magic power with all his strength.

However, half an hour later, when John had completely 'chewed' Voldemort's remnant soul, the smile on John's face slowly dissipated and his expression became weird.

Because this ‘chewing’ of Voldemort’s remnant soul also improved John’s magical talent a lot.

But John's total amount of magic power and the intensity of his magic power have not been improved at all.

At the same time, John did not obtain any special abilities as before.

It's as if John's strength has grown to a limit.

No, perhaps we shouldn’t use the word ‘ceiling’ to describe it, but rather ‘bottleneck’.

This reminded John of the 'flick theory' he had heard from Alice earlier.

When using only one finger, no matter how hard you try, the force of the finger that pops out will not be too great.

But when the index finger is bent, press the cover of the index finger with your thumb as a clamp.

If you exert force again immediately, the bulk of the force will be limited to the index finger due to the clamping of the thumb.

At this time, the thumb restriction is removed.

The power released instantly will make the index finger pop out quickly and powerfully.

The speed is so fast that it can even make a slight sound of breaking wind.

The 'bottleneck' currently restricting John is a bit like the thumb used to clamp his index finger.

If he cannot break through, then John's strength will naturally stop here.

But as long as you succeed in breaking through it.

Then the power accumulated previously will increase John's overall strength by a huge multiple.

If this is true.

That would explain why legendary wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort are so much more powerful than ordinary wizards.

Because they obviously broke through that 'bottleneck' and relied on 'elasticity' and 'impulse' to increase their own strength to an extremely ridiculous level.

In other words, as long as we can break through that bottleneck.

Can you become a legendary wizard yourself?

Thinking of this, John's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

You must know that ordinary wizards face the "bottleneck". No matter how talented they are, they still need to accumulate mental power and willpower little by little, and then enhance their magic power to overcome the difficulties.

But John is different!

Relying on his 'chewing' ability, he can directly swallow external magic power.

This accumulation of magic power is much faster than that of ordinary wizards!

What's more, there is still the last remnant soul of Voldemort and the main soul of Voldemort waiting for John to 'chew'!

If he can devour these two souls, maybe he can be directly promoted to legend!

The sudden surprise really made John excited.

But this excitement was soon suppressed by even greater doubts.

Because after absorbing the remnant soul of Voldemort, John not only sensed the existence of this 'bottleneck' or 'limit' in his own body.

He also felt the 'restriction' on the nun's wand in his hand!

And if we say that the 'bottleneck' in John's body is used to break through the realm of the legendary wizard.

So what are the 'restrictions' in the nun's wand?
