Chapter 330: The Horcrux Transfer Technique

Unbeknownst to what psychological changes she underwent, Sofia began to cling to Murphy significantly.

Due to her transformation into a vampire, she became very sleepy during the day, but her sleep quality was terrible, waking up frequently and seeking Murphy, who would then keep her company and chat until she fell asleep again.

This situation left Professor Snape, who was concocting magical potions for the queen's recovery, to swallow his tears along with the "dog food." After a few instances, he felt almost full.

Thinking of his own tragic love life, Headmaster Snape immediately declared his intention to return to Hogwarts.

"A school cannot be left without its headmaster for a day," he stated emphatically.

In truth, he couldn't stand another day in this heart-wrenching place!

After his departure, Murphy, having confirmed that Sofia was mostly fine, left Arkaim.

Love could wait for another time; compared to that, the troubles brought by the Holy Mother were too significant, and he had to find a way to eliminate her.

The Magic Research Institute.

Murphy found Holden.

"How's the research on that high-level magic going?" Murphy asked.

Previously, he had discovered remnants of high-level magic on various Holy Mother effigies and other items. Some of these samples, after being rendered harmless, were sent to Holden for magical analysis.

"This magic has a very high energy level," Holden said, "with correspondingly short wavelengths and quick attenuation. It hasn't exceeded our previous understanding of magic. It's just magic with a higher frequency."

"Is there a way to elevate low-frequency magic to high frequency?" Murphy asked.

Higher-level magic exerts a certain suppressive effect on lower-level magic, given their different "priorities" in the magical network. Overcoming high-level magic with merely a larger amount of lower-level magic is challenging.

Therefore, Murphy needed to find a method to generate high-level magic.

"It's difficult," Holden said, "Normal magic vibrates at tens of thousands to several gigahertz, roughly equivalent to the frequency of medium to long electromagnetic waves. Your magic power is already very high, reaching gigahertz level."

"But this magic... it's at the terahertz level. There's a gap of three to four orders of magnitude."

"With our current technology, we simply can't perform stable frequency modulation on this kind of magic."

Murphy sighed. This was expected; if elevating the level of magic were easy, someone would have achieved it by now, and there wouldn't be a so-called "ceiling" as Lady Yaga mentioned.

"Then, is there a way to create this kind of magic?"

"Through interference methods, it might be possible to generate some high-frequency magic, but the probability is low, the amount of magic too small, and it's hard to separate, making it difficult to have any practical use."

"We've tried to find natural sources of high-frequency magic, but they seem very rare. In over two hundred experiments, we only received high-frequency magic signals twice, and even then, the data confidence was not high. Without a reference source, we don't know how to generate it."

Murphy actually had some high-frequency magic at his disposal.

After Sofia absorbed that true blood, in Murphy's magical vision, she went from a "little yellow person" to a "little purple person," even leaning towards the ultraviolet.

Although the level of magic was actually much lower than that of the true blood and was continuously decaying, it might be enough to counter the Holy Mother.

But he still didn't understand the Holy Mother's purpose in killing Sofia, and the unknown meant risk.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to remove Sofia from the protection of the holy walls again.

Seeing his boss's gloomy face, Holden thought for a moment and said, "However, once the magic radar is built, we might discover something new."

Though the initial intention behind constructing the magic radar was to find "primordial essence" to create a stable magical energy source, if primordial essence is a high-strength magic source, it likely means it has a higher magical energy level, potentially acting as a natural high-frequency magic generator.

Thus, the issue circled back to the radar.

The materials for the magic radar were almost ready; what remained was solving the computational power needed for frequency modulation.

There were three ways to solve the computational power issue: the ideal solution was a magical computer, followed by Lucas's Horcrux transfer technique, and the least desirable was for Murphy to overload the mind network.

Given the chicken-and-egg paradox between the magical computer and the magic radar, and with Lucas's Horcrux transfer technique yet to be proven successful, Murphy had decided that if no better solution emerged by the radar's completion, he would initiate the overload mode.

Time slowly moved to May 1994.

Thanks to the relentless effort of the fairies, the magic metal required to build a giant radar was finally cast.

Simultaneously, Lucas brought Murphy good news; her Horcrux transfer technique was completed.

"I've mastered the method of Horcrux transfer," Lucas handed a black notebook to Murphy, who recognized it as the diary she once resided in.

Then, Lucas tore a page from the diary.

"Oh?" Murphy was surprised, "You're no longer in the notebook?"

"Yes." Lucas pulled out another notebook, "Now I'm in here. I've absorbed all the spells from that notebook into my soul fragment and then transferred them along with it to this notebook."

"Why another notebook?" Murphy was puzzled.

"Actually, any book, like a dictionary, or even portraits, would work," Lucas explained, "because there's enough material present that can represent my real-time thought information. But if it's a single solid material like a gem or wood, it's hard for me to maintain my cognitive abilities for long."

"What about... a computer?" Murphy asked.

"In theory, it's feasible," Lucas said, "I just haven't tried it yet."

Murphy nodded, "Actually, I need your help. I've encountered a problem recently. The magic radar requires frequency modulation for the numerous wizards serving as its energy source, but Muggle computers can't operate in a high-magic environment, leaving me without the computational power to do this modulation. If you could transfer to a computer, with its computing power, you should be able to perform these calculations."

"Would you like to try?"

Lucas was different from other wizards; Murphy had invested a lot of effort in her and always treated her as a "teacher." Although he knew she would likely not refuse his direct request, he still asked for her opinion.

Lucas thought for a moment, "I can do it. I've always been curious about the capabilities of these Muggle creations and wanted to know what effects the magical power of Horcruxes would have when applied to computers. I'd like to try. Which computer shall we use, Professor? Andrew gave me one the other day, he said it was well-configured."

Andrew Tuck? Murphy glanced at Lucas; was that boy trying to curry favor with her? Well, it wasn't impossible... After all, Lucas was indeed a beauty now.

Hmph, Murphy felt an inexplicable displeasure at the thought of his "daughter" being eyed by someone.

Seems like that guy has too much free time. Is the transformation research group out of work? I'll assign him a new project

 tomorrow... Hmm... better send him to participate in the lab construction in Suhgu.

After mentally exiling Andrew, Murphy led Lucas to a massive computer room, "You certainly can't use a regular computer."

"This supercomputer 'Athena' will be your new body."
