Chapter 122 Cell Modification

"When did we get a new Potions Master?"

George poked Albert who was among a bunch of Gryffindors and asked in a low voice.

"What new professor? That is Snape."

George's hand shook and he almost knocked over the crucible on the table.

Fred froze on the spot as if he was under a petrification spell, and the potion ingredients in his hand were scattered all over the floor without realizing it.

Today, Albert used his true self to come to Potions class just to see how the surrounding students would react when Professor Snape, who had permed his hair and put on new clothes, appeared.

Seeing the people around him with their eyes widened and their jaws almost falling to the ground, looking like you're kidding me, Albert felt that this trip was not in vain.

The Gryffindor students, who were often bullied by the old bat, had no other reaction to Snape's new look except shock.

As for the Slytherin girls, the few who were not reserved were drooling all over the table without realizing it.

Snape was obviously not used to the eager gazes of the students, especially those from Slytherin.

He turned his head away without leaving a trace, trying not to meet the scorching eyes of the Slytherin nymphomaniacs.

Albert sat in his seat, covering his mouth, trying hard to control himself from laughing.

I can't help it, Snape looks so funny now.

……

In the world of Hagrid's Little Suitcase.

"Hagrid, can I ask you to help me take care of some magical animals?"

"Of course, no problem, Ivo, what kind of animal is it?"

Albert opened his suitcase and motioned for Hagrid to follow him.

These were all magical animals that he had bought from Knockturn Alley before thanks to Snape, and he was going to conduct experiments on black magic transformation.

Smuggling magical animals is no easy task.

So now there are only three horned camel beasts.

All cubs.

Just make do with it reluctantly.

The horned beast can be found in mountainous areas across Europe.

The horned camel has a huge body and is purple with a slight hint of gray.

It has a bulging back, two very sharp long horns on its head, and walks on its four-fingered feet.

Horned Camelbacks are extremely aggressive in nature, and people can occasionally see mountain monsters riding on Horned Camelbacks in an attempt to tame them.But they seemed to be dissatisfied.

Therefore, it is not surprising to see that the giant monster's body is covered with scars caused by the horned camel.

Powdered horns are used in a variety of potions, but since their horns are difficult to obtain, the powder is extremely expensive.

The horned beast's hide is even stronger than that of a fire dragon, and most spells have no effect on it.

Originally this magical animal was already on the verge of extinction.

When the population was at its lowest, only a pair of horned camels were left that could feed their offspring.

It was Newt Scamander who saved them. Under the careful care of Newt, the horned camel tribe once again grew and grew.

After decades of reproduction, they can now be seen occasionally in the mountainous areas of Europe.

Albert planned to keep one horned beast for himself, and leave the other two to Hagrid to take care of him.

I believe that with Hagrid’s ability, he will be able to take good care of them.

Looking at the two little guys in front of him, Hagrid couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"Leave it to me. I promise to take good care of them."

Albert nodded. Except for the famous magical zoologist Newt Scamander, no one knew how to deal with magical creatures better than Hagrid.

Just look at the group of thestrals in the Forbidden Forest. They were originally extremely dangerous animals, but they were tamed by Hagrid.

……

After bidding farewell to Hagrid, Albert stepped into the mirror dimension with another horned beast.

Since mastering the magic of the mirror dimension, he has moved the location of some magic experiments from the Room of Requirement to the mirror dimension.

Most of his magic experiments are evil and violate taboos, including biological modification, human sacrifice, and resurrecting the dead. Which of them can be seen by humans?

Too many people know about the Room of Requirement now.

There was nothing he could do about it. Apart from the Room of Requirement, Albert couldn't find any other place that could replace it as Akatsuki's secret meeting place.

It's not that there aren't empty abandoned classrooms in the castle that could be used, but there's no secret room like the Room of Requirement.

As for using the secret room under the castle as a location for experiments...

Now Wan Snake is still wandering in the drainage pipes under the castle, and is a good guard of the secret room.

Although other people in the Akatsuki organization know the location of the secret room, they don't know Parseltongue.

This idea was very tempting, but Albert thought about it and decided not to do it.

Based on the dangers of Albert's magic experiments, the nuclear reactor might explode one day and blow up the entire Hogwarts Castle above.

As for now, let’s tinker in the mirror dimension first.

Although there are dangers in the mirror dimension, such as the fight between the future self and TheOne in the mirror dimension, that kind of thing rarely happens, right?

……

Using black magic to achieve permanent transformation requires a large amount of magic power to support it.

This is also the reason why there are so many dark wizards in the wizarding world, but only Voldemort has undergone many dark magic transformations on himself.

But like Voldemort's kind of transformation, which made him neither human nor ghost, Albert was grateful for this.

When he was young, Voldemort was obviously a handsome boy.

As a result, when he reached middle age, he became bald and even lost his nose.

Albert didn't want to become like this.

Now it is enough to modify other animals.

In order to ensure the supply of magic power, Albert made a special trip to the secret room and brought Wan She into the mirror space.

Putting his magic power into the body of the horned camel beast that was tied up in front of him, Albert sensed its cell structure.

The first experiment conducted today was to transform its cells into the kind of energy storage cells that Albert envisioned, capable of storing large amounts of energy.

Energy storage is the first step, followed by radiation resistance.

Cells must have sufficient radiation resistance to survive the large doses of radiation released during nuclear fission reactions in nuclear reactors.

But that's another story.

If we can’t even store energy now, how can we talk about subsequent transformation?

With Albert's control over magic power, even without using a wand, just relying on the guidance of seal gestures, Albert can control the magic power like an arm and a finger.

But when conducting transformation experiments, he still took out the wand that could help him stabilize his magic power.

There is no other reason. The more precise the deformation at the cellular level, the better.

The horned camel's cells were changing according to Albert's ideas.

The energy storage substance in animal cells is mainly fat, followed by glycogen.

When these substances are broken down, cells gain energy from them.

But this backward energy storage method cannot meet Albert's needs at all.

In the magic world, there are many substances that can store magic power, the most common of which is energy storage crystal.

Albert planned to imitate the material composition of the energy storage crystal and transform the cells of the horned camel.
