Chapter 668: Real Biological Transformation and Clues to Barty Jr.

Generally speaking, the transformed creatures are the embodiment of the wizard's magic power and will obey the caster's various instructions to a certain extent.

But the curved-horned snore beast in front of him was obviously different. Ivan found that he couldn't control the opponent's actions. With his current level of transformation, he couldn't see any flaws.

It's as if the creature in front of you is real and not a deformed one...

"Stop the curse!" Ivan pressed his wand against the Snorlax's head, trying to remove the transformation magic he had exerted.

However, as a burst of white light flashed, the Bent-Horned Snorlax still stood there, looking at him with an innocent yet frightened look.

Ivan's face was full of joy and shock. Could it be that he had really completed a biological transformation and completely turned a wooden block into a Bent-Horned Snorlax? Created a whole new species?

Ivan subconsciously wanted to deny this possibility. The more in-depth he studied, the more he understood the difficulty.

The examples of complete transformation in the wizarding world today are all legends that are unknown to be true or false.

On the contrary, a large number of teaching books related to transfiguration clearly mention that transfiguration magic cannot truly change the nature of things.

For example, food transformed by magic must not be used to fill your stomach, because this food does not have any nutrients. When the magic added by the wizard disappears, it will change back to its original shape, and even cause extremely serious accidents!

It is precisely because of this that there are so many impoverished wizards in the magic world. Otherwise, everyone can obtain all the resources they want with just a transformation spell.

"Is it related to the fact that magic has reached level seven?" Ivan changed his mind and thought that it might be because the enhancement of transformation magic allowed him to break through a certain limit.

Thinking of this possibility, Ivan immediately tried it, waving his wand again and aiming it at the crucible that was on the ground.

Under the influence of magic power, the crucible quickly melted and transformed into another curved-horned snore beast, which was as big as a human head and looked mighty and majestic. There was no flaw in the appearance alone, but when compared with the hands Ivan always felt like there was something missing about this Bent-Horned Snorlax...

"Stop the curse!" Ivan waved his wand again, aiming directly at the newly transformed Bent-Horned Snorlax.

Different from the previous spell, this time his transformation magic was lifted, and the Bent-Horned Snorlax turned into a crucible again.

"How could this happen?" Ivan was very confused. It seemed that he had thought wrong before. Even the seventh-level transformation magic could not completely change the nature of things...

Then there is only one last possibility left - the protection mode is more powerful than he imagined, powerful enough to easily reverse the nature of things and turn a sparse and ordinary piece of wood into a living bent-horned snorkel!

Of course, all of this was just his guess. To be more specific, he would have to observe the Bent-Horned Snorlax for a few more days to see if it would return to its original form before he could truly determine.

With this in mind, Ivan took out a transparent jar from the drawer, poked a few holes, and applied an extension spell inside to expand the space. He planned to transform this place into a new home for the Bent-Horned Snorlax, making it easier to carry out activities these days. observe.

By the time he finished all this and threw the Crescent-Horned Snorlax in, it was already close to dinner time.

Ivan didn't stay in the Room of Requirement for too long. He stuffed the jar into his pocket, used the restoration spell to restore the things he had just destroyed one by one, and then left here and walked downstairs.

Walking all the way to the third floor, Ivan unexpectedly bumped into Crouch who was about to return to the office. With a thought, he changed direction and chased after him.

"Wait, Mr. Crouch!"

"What's wrong, Hals?" Crouch turned around and looked at Ivan in surprise.

"Nothing, I just want to ask if you have found any information about Little Barty?" Ivan asked.

Ivan has been busy preparing for the second game these days and really can't spare much energy to investigate the whereabouts of Barty Jr., so he thinks that Crouch, who has been idle, may gain something.

However, listening to Ivan's words, Crouch's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He hesitated for a while before speaking. "Moody and I are currently investigating suspicious persons in the castle, but there are no clues yet..."

Ivan was somewhat disappointed. It had been more than half a semester, but little Barty was still missing.

Is it really necessary to guard the Triwizard Tournament trophy and wait for the opponent to replace it with a Portkey before capturing it?

But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the possibility of Harry winning the championship is very slim, and Barty Jr. may not use the same method as in the original time and space.

Therefore, we must catch Barty Jr. before the start of the third game.

"Mr. Crouch, does your son Barty Jr. have any obvious characteristics, preferences or habits?" Ivan asked instead.

Crouch pondered for a while, trying to recall everything about Barty Jr., only then was he surprised to realize how little he knew about his son. He couldn't even describe Barty's hobbies and habits in one breath.

A look of guilt appeared on Crouch's face. He was annoyed that he had been busy with work and neglected to care about little Barty. If he could have discovered in time that little Barty was closely associated with some dark wizards, maybe things would not have developed to this point.

Although there wasn't much he could recall, Crouch still said everything he could in order to help Ivan.

"My son usually likes to play Quidditch the most, and occasionally studies some dangerous magic. In addition, he admires the pure-blood theory very much. This may be the reason why he surrendered to the mysterious man..."

"Is there anything more specific, such as a habit that cannot be changed, an obvious one!" Ivan interrupted Crouch. It is impossible to determine the identity of Barty Jr. based on these alone. Judging from the experience of the original time and space, the other party is very good at pretending.

Crouch hesitated for a long time and was about to shake his head when he suddenly remembered something. "By the way, my son Barty Jr. likes sweets. Ever since he came back from Azkaban, he has been obsessed with sweet things."

Ivan nodded. He thought this should be a good clue. If you are really addicted to something, it is not easy to quit, and sometimes you may not be aware of such small habits.

"That's about all I know. Let me give you another photo of him!" Crouch sighed, found a photo from the pocket of the wizard's robe and handed it to Ivan.

Ivan reached out and took it and took a look. In the photo, he saw a young wizard with pale skin and light blond hair. His eye sockets were slightly sunken and he looked very thin.
