LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 20 The Stone
The Sorcerer's Stone, all wizards who know this thing are rarely indifferent. Gold is secondary, mainly because the so-called immortality effect of the Philosopher's Stone is really eye-catching. Immortality, how many people can resist the temptation of immortality? The most important thing is that there are still two people-Nicole May and his wife Perenelle, these two people have lived to more than 600 years old.
Little wizards like Harry, they don't think about what kind of existence a wizard who dares to use the Philosopher's Stone would be like. Not to mention the people in Hogwarts and under the eyes of Dumbledore who dare to do things and steal the Sorcerer's Stone under such conditions, are they able to deal with them? They don't think about the danger at all, or That said, they don't realize the danger at all.
"So, under such circumstances, you are going to protect the Philosopher's Stone from one or a few extremely dangerous wizards? Can I understand this?" Solim leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, swayed, he Didn't think the Philosopher's Stone would be stolen at all. "Don't you know how many catties and taels you have? If you want to die, go alone, and don't have to drag the people around you into the water."
Solim's words left Harry and Ronald completely dumbfounded. Solim has already told them clearly that they have been busy thinking that they are the last line of defense to protect the Sorcerer's Stone, but in fact they are not as effective as closing Luwei's wooden gate. This is how the two of them accepted it.
"Now that you all know that there is a Council of Elders, do you think the Council of Elders can ignore things like the Philosopher's Stone?" Solim asked a good question.
"I can't say how familiar I am with the Philosopher's Stone, but I know far better than you. My great-great-grandfather's father is still alive and well, contributing to the construction of the European wizarding world."
Solim was shocked when he found out that his heavenly grandfather was still alive. What is Heavenly Grandfather? That was grandpa's grandpa's father. That's two generations older than Dumbledore.
"Besides, since the Sorcerer's Stone came out, how many people have thought about it, have you thought about it? Has any one succeeded?"
"Grindelwald, Voldemort, when they were the most powerful, they didn't have the idea of playing with the Philosopher's Stone. Why? Think about it carefully, and there are some... obscure things involved. But now, One, or a few wizards, came to Hogwarts to do something under Dumbledore's nose. Do you really think that such a thing can be participated in by you little wizards who can't even use the disarming spell? ?” Solim said with a smile, he couldn't help it. This feeling of beating others is indeed very attractive to Solim, and sometimes Solim himself is not sure whether the people staying in Skull are a bit perverted.
"Okay, okay, if you want to play the game of protecting the treasure, go ahead and play it, don't worry, someone will take care of it for you," Solim waved his hand, "As long as you don't really fool around with the idea of playing the Philosopher's Stone. "
The Philosopher's Stone thing, Solim admits that he has a little bit of a thing for immortality. But when he really learned something about the Sorcerer's Stone, he honestly strangled this little thought to death.
Just like what Solim said to the treasure guard team just now. How could the Council of Elders who control the entire continent of Europa not pay attention to the Sorcerer's Stone.
Indeed, the "people" who came up with the Philosopher's Stone idea didn't succeed. But the Presbyterians are not "people."
The Presbyterian Church is a huge organization with influence all over the world, and the one with the strongest control is Europe. After all, the Presbyterian Church originated in Europe.
When the Philosopher's Stone came out, when it was reported that this little red stone could make people live forever, I don't know how many wizards or other things tried to get Nicole May's idea, trying to blackmail him and make him hand over the magic. stone.
It's just ridiculous. Few people can find him. Even if you find his address, even if you try your best to get into the door of LeMay's house, you can only lie down honestly in the end - in the home of a master alchemist Against an alchemist, it's the same as committing suicide.
In the end, Nicolas May handed over the Philosopher's Stone. You say that he is under pressure or cooperates with each other. Anyway, Nicole May, an old man, joined the Presbyterian Church, and he has an extremely special status. You know, many people in the Presbyterian Church can live until now because of the blessing of the Philosopher's Stone.
With the backing of the Council of Elders, who could have the idea of the Philosopher's Stone? Let’s not talk about the protection Nicole himself gave himself. Ever since he joined the Council of Elders, the Council of Elders has attached great importance to his personal safety. There is even a team of elite wizards stationed in Nicole May’s place of residence all year round. Of course, It is hard to say whether it is protection or surveillance.
And the birth of each Philosopher's Stone will be recorded by the Council of Elders, who will be assigned to use this Philosopher's Stone, and which team will be responsible for escorting it. Just like the armored vehicles, there are strict procedures every time.
As for the reason Solim dissuaded him, it was the process of preparing the Philosopher's Stone.
Alchemy, to put it bluntly, is transformation. Transformation of one substance into another. When a person lives until he dies, he is consuming one thing—life force. The Philosopher's Stone keeps people alive by replenishing the user's vitality.
The problem is that there is currently no way to convert something like vitality.
It's like Transfiguration, you can turn a chair into a cake, but you won't be full after eating it, and you won't get nutrition. This is the Gamp rule. And when the magic power applied to the chair is exhausted, the cake will turn back into the chair and burst your stomach.
Since vitality cannot be transformed through other substances. But how does the Philosopher's Stone replenish life force? There is only one answer, to take the life force of other lives and transform it into a life force that can be absorbed through the magic stone. This is the truth about the Sorcerer's Stone.
So what about vitality? From whom? who? These problems are the problems of Mr. Nicota, we just need to know the result. The old man has done an unknown number of experiments, and he does not know how many lives Huo Huo died. Finally, the answer emerged——human beings, or human-like life, have the best effect.
Nicole May was originally only a handicraft workshop, and later joined the Presbyterian Church, which is equivalent to being acquired. You come to provide technical support, and our elders will provide production materials. Forcibly turning a manual workshop into an assembly line. Of course, it is an exaggeration to say that the assembly line is an exaggeration, but the efficiency and yield rate are much higher than Nicolas May's previous one.
But here comes the problem. Nicole May makes the Philosopher's Stone by himself, and just goes to the prison to find a few condemned prisoners. But let the elders do this, to put it bluntly, the raw materials are not enough. Without raw materials, there would be no Sorcerer's Stone, and without the Sorcerer's Stone, some people would not be able to survive. What to do? How can we get a large amount of human-like vitality?
It can be said that whenever the raw materials of the Sorcerer's Stone are in short supply, wars will break out. Then the raw materials are enough, and the war is over.
Solim does not think he is a good person, he also admits that in order to survive, life will always kill another life, like the dead bodies of all kinds of life being served on the table, these, Solim he accepts, and for tasting these The living corpse is still enjoying it.
However, just wanting to live on, and using the Sorcerer's Stone to achieve the goal in order to live on, this is something Solim can't accept.
Solim has always believed that a person can be evil and do all kinds of evil, but he cannot live without a bottom line. To say a bad street saying: If a person has no bottom line, he cannot be called a human being.
But the fact now is: some wizards choose to "eat people" in order to survive.
A hard-working office worker is exploited by the vicious capitalists every day. Indeed, this can also be said to be a kind of "cannibalism", but it is not as naked as the Philosopher's Stone.
When Solim knew these things about the Sorcerer's Stone, he decided: even if he was dying of old age and was pressed on his neck by the scythe of death, he would never use the Sorcerer's Stone.
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Solim waved his hand, ready to send everyone away, "But I still want to remind you once again: you can play your treasure-hunting game, but don't play it. The idea of the Philosopher's Stone. Although it is impossible to succeed, I still remind you."
Although Solim himself has not seen the Sorcerer's Stone with his own eyes, he can guess that the Sorcerer's Stone that Nicolas Flamel gave Dumbledore is probably not the "full version", and it can be used once or twice. Although Nicole May's status is special, the Council of Elders controls the Philosopher's Stone very strictly. Nicole may have given Dumbledore a "castrated version" of the Philosopher's Stone, which already reflects Nicole's status.
Watching Potter and Weasley's group walk out the door of the small classroom, Draco took Neville to the next door to practice the Disarming Charm. Solim looked around for no one, and pulled out the Marauder's Map he'd gotten from Filch.
"I solemnly swear that I have no good intentions." Pointing his wand at the map, Solim spoke the password.
Looking at a personal name that appeared on the originally blank parchment, lines appeared one by one. Solim knew that many places at Hogwarts had opened up to him.
Solim saw the names of "Harry Potter" who were moving in the corridor, and also saw the names of Draco and Neville marked on the map outside the wall. Similarly, the self next door to them will of course appear on the map.
But when Solim saw himself on the map, all the muscles in his body tensed up.
"Damn, what's going on?!" Solim screamed frantically inside.
On the place where Solim was supposed to be on the map, a strange thing appeared: an ink blob was shaking irregularly, as if trying to form some letters, but every time it was about to become a letter, it scattered again.
Solim's nose flared and his brow furrowed. He doesn't understand what's going on. The maps are good, that's for sure. After all, other people's names are fine, and the problem lies with oneself.
"Did someone put a curse on his name?" Solim began to wonder if someone put a distraction spell or shielding spell on his name to prevent others from tracking him. But on second thought, is this necessary? He is just an illegitimate child, of little value, even if it is because he killed that annoying ghost, his family will not choose to do it in Hogwarts if they want to clean up him.
Solim decided to read some books about the magic of names during his vacation. He had to figure out what was wrong with his name.
