The Admiral of Hogwarts

"Why a pendant?" The moment Hugo saw the item in the silver box, a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Because in his eyes, this gold and enamel pendant, which looked a circle larger than an ordinary silver coin, was pretty enough and gorgeous enough, but to say it was something left behind by a great alchemist was far from the truth.

"General, you should try the parchment and the semi-finished alchemical stone from before." Seeing Hugo staring at the pendant in front of him without saying a word, Kong Xiang suddenly said from the side, "The other party definitely didn't give you those two things for you to look at."

"That makes sense." Hugo nodded, and then began to try. The parchment obviously didn't react, but the semi-finished Philosopher's Stone showed a clear reaction as soon as it was placed on it.

The pendant lit up, and in the colorful light, the semi-finished Philosopher's Stone quickly melted like an ice cube under the scorching sun. Then, it turned into a pearly mist and merged into the pendant.

This process was so fast that before Hugo could react, the semi-finished alchemical stone, like an opal, had completely disappeared from his hand.

"It's actually delayed transmutation—" After examining it, a look of shock appeared on Hugo's face, because he realized that the pendant had a pre-set alchemical procedure that would activate when it came into contact with the semi-finished alchemical stone.

Hugo was shocked because this was an alchemical technique that was easy to learn but difficult to master, and its alchemical effect was closely related to the caster's magic power and alchemy level.

Taking Hugo himself as an example, at his current level, it wouldn't be too difficult to create one or two simple mechanisms based on this principle, but he definitely couldn't reach the level of easily mobilizing all the power in a semi-finished alchemical stone.

Of course, the alchemical ritual that could be completed using such powerful magic power was not simple either. Just as the alchemical ritual ended, Hugo discovered that the pendant in his hand actually showed him a space coordinate.

"What has this pendant become now, a talisman?" Sensing the magical fluctuations coming from the talisman just now, Richelieu turned her face and asked.

"Of course not, how could such a powerful magical reaction be a low-end product like a talisman?" After figuring out the purpose of the pendant, Hugo said with a smile to the ladies present.

"This is a spatial equipment similar to Newt Scamander's suitcase, but unlike the spatial equipment sold on the market, this kind of spatial equipment is more like a sub-dimension described in novels than an expanded space—"

After a brief explanation, Hugo led the ship girls and the giantess White Deer into the space inside the pendant.

As a ball of white light flashed before their eyes, they found themselves standing on a small cobblestone-paved square, and opposite the square was a three-story building in the 15th-century style.

"I seem to have an impression of this building." The moment Richelieu saw the building, she quickly took two steps to the entrance of the building, and then walked around the entire building several times.

Soon, she came to the front of the building, and then pointed to a place by the door and said, "That's right, it's here, Nicolas Flamel's former residence on Montmorency Street in Paris."

"If that's the case, then let's go in and take a look." After hearing Richelieu recognize the origin of the room, Hugo immediately became interested.

Because this pendant was left to him by Nicolas Flamel after all, so if there was anything important, it would most likely be left in this room.

Gently pushing the door, it opened. Then, a simply decorated living room appeared in front of everyone.

And in the center of the living room, a soccer-sized crystal ball was placed on a gorgeous golden base that was completely the opposite of the living room's style.

After checking, Hugo found that this crystal ball was the core control hub of this space. Only by truly branding this crystal ball with his own mark could this space belong to him.

That's right, this is a sub-dimension, similar to the space with a dragon and a sacred oak tree that Hugo and the others saw underground in Hogwarts before.

Different from the space expanded by the Space Expansion Charm, this sub-dimension is a stable, small self-circulating ecosystem that can operate independently of the main plane for a long time.

Historically, there are very few sub-dimensions that can truly accommodate people. Not to mention how difficult it is to find a suitable piece of space debris in nature, the magic skills and resources required to transform this fragment into a sub-dimension are beyond the reach of ordinary wizards.

"Nearly square, 120 square kilometers, 6km up and down." Richelieu, who was connected to Hugo through the Admiral Network, quickly sensed the information left in the crystal ball. "Is this really something ordinary people can do?"

"So, Mr. Flamel has crossed that line. I think this may be the most important reason why he chose to destroy the Philosopher's Stone and face death with a smile. Because for him, death is indeed a new journey."

"It's a pity that General, you are not an Ancient God." Richelieu looked at Hugo, who was checking the crystal ball, and said, "If you become an Ancient God, then there is absolutely no need to cross that line through death."

"Mr. Flamel, you really left me a difficult problem." In the middle of the conversation, Hugo finished the inspection, and then muttered with a smile.

Obviously, Nicolas Flamel did regard Hugo as a fellow traveler in the previous exchanges. So when he finally left this inheritance to him, he also left a test.

The content of the test is very simple, that is to completely master this sub-dimension. And before passing the test, this sub-dimension can only be used as a key to communicate through that brooch.

"General, with your current soul strength, you will definitely not be able to brand your soul on it." Through the Admiral Network, Richelieu quickly sensed the characteristics of this test.

"I know, after all, I have only been learning magic for too short a time, and my accumulation is far less than that of the great alchemist who has accumulated it for 600 years." Hugo smiled and said. "But I have you!"

For Hugo, relying solely on his own strength would naturally be impossible to brand this sub-dimension now. And Nicolas Flamel also realized this, so he set up such a key to facilitate Hugo's use.

However, this great alchemist obviously did not expect that the Admiral Network mastered by Hugo could completely concentrate the power of the ship girls, and then brand it on this sub-dimension as a whole.

"Alright, my Valkyries, release your souls." After making a decision, Hugo immediately communicated with the ship girls through the Admiral Network, and then concentrated the power of the ship girls to condense rune after rune at his fingertips.

Soon, rune after rune containing power flew from Hugo's fingertips, and after flying around the crystal ball a few times, they sank into the crystal ball.

As these runes flew in, the crystal ball became brighter and brighter. Until it turned into a small sun that only had light and no heat, just as the light reached an extreme, the entire crystal ball disappeared into the air.

"It's done—" As the crystal ball disappeared, Hugo felt a special connection between himself and this space, which meant that he had mastered this sub-dimension.
