Chapter 369 Voldemort Appears
There are three things in the wizarding world that are considered extremely dangerous and should not be approached by strangers:
Scamander's black leather case, Voldemort's Dark Mark, and... the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship at Hogwarts.
These three things exist, as long as you touch them, you will either die or be injured. If there is a big trouble, the whole city may be destroyed by you.
Similarly, there are three recognized safe places in the wizarding world:
Gringotts, Hogwarts, and... Nico Flamel's estate.
But with Quirrell sneaking into Gringotts the year before last, this safest vault fortress in history is not so safe anymore.
In the original time and space, it was even invaded, stolen, and escaped by a few seventh-grade students.
Not to mention Hogwarts, which steadily consumes a professor every year, and there are various frequent high-risk accidents, which is not safe no matter how you look at it.
And Nicole Flamel's manor has the magic stone that can turn stones into gold and brew immortality, as well as various powerful alchemy items...
Such a place called a treasure house has attracted the attention of countless wizards, but for several centuries, it has never been heard that anyone can forcefully break into it and take away the Philosopher's Stone.
Even most wizards only know that the manor is in Devonshire, but they can't find the exact location at all.
Therefore, Rove was also very curious about who could cause Nico to be so nervous.
In the evening, Rove and Shirley arrived at the manor in that carriage.
Shirley followed Nico's wife Perenelle to visit the manor, and Rove and the old man were walking and chatting on a bluestone road.
Outside the manor is still a world of ice and snow, but inside the manor is like spring all the year round, with a breeze blowing, a row of peach blossoms with trembling stamens.
"I'm getting older, and my body's functions have declined in an all-round way, and I can't stand the wind and cold." Nico stretched out his withered arms, clasped them together, and said with a smile:
"As long as the temperature is a little lower, all kinds of rheumatism and joint disease will afflict me and Perenelle."
"Rove, if you want to use the Philosopher's Stone to prolong your life in the future, you will encounter the same problem as me in a few hundred years."
Rove nodded. This is the drawback of the Philosopher's Stone. The brewed elixir can indeed prolong life, but the body is still irreversibly aging and decaying.
Therefore, Nico has been looking for the Stone of Destiny, which can brew the fountain of youth and restore the body to youth.
Nico continued to smile lightly:
"Although the outside world says my manor is safe, it has actually been destroyed many times, and I have been forced to move several times."
"When I was still living in France, a dark wizard named Godelot entered my manor. I fought with him and destroyed it directly."
Rove had heard of Godlott, a medieval dark wizard who also compiled the famous "Toxic Magic", which greatly advanced the research of black magic.
"How did Godlott get in?" Rove asked softly with curiosity, "Aren't there many protective magics around the manor?"
"Godlot is extremely powerful, you can understand him as Voldemort of that era..." Nico said calmly:
"All the magics I arranged around the manor were cracked by him one by one, including the Fidelity Curse."
"Can the Loyalty Curse be broken?" Rove subconsciously frowned.
"Rove, there is no magic that cannot be cracked, including Avada Kedavra." Nico sighed softly:
"Didn't Voldemort be rebounded by his own Killing Curse? When you believe that a kind of magic is invincible, you are not far from accidents."
After chewing it carefully, Rove nodded lightly to be taught humbly.
"It took me many years to understand that the magic wand in Godelot's hand played a key role." Nicol paused and continued:
"It taught Godlott many powerful magics and helped him break the Fidelity Curse."
"Wands can also teach wizards?" Rove was extremely surprised.
"Of course, there has always been a saying in the Ollivander family...'The wand chooses the wizard'." Nico patiently explained:
"The wand is self-aware, has feelings, and can think for itself.
It and the wizard are attracted to each other at first, and then seek each other's experience. The wand learns from the wizard, and the wizard can also learn from the wand. "
After walking a few steps, Nico became a little tired. He stopped and sat on a stone bench by the side of the road, and said softly:
"There is a magic wand, which has the most powerful learning ability in the magic world. It has followed many masters, and each master is the world's top wizard.
So... it learned so much magic, and taught those magics to its new master, helping him grow stronger. "
"The Elder Wand?" Rove narrowed his eyes.
"Yes." Nico nodded and said, "It has different names in different historical stages and in the hands of different people...the death stick, the stick of fate or the old wand."
"The wand first appeared in the hands of Antioch Peverell, the eldest of the three brothers. After his death, it was passed down from generation to generation, and the wand kept changing owners."
Nico said calmly:
"Of course, there may be interruptions in between, long interruptions, where the Elder Wand disappears from view, is temporarily lost or hidden, but always reappears."
Nico had had enough rest, he got up again, and while leading Rove up the stairs, he said:
"Godlott held the Elder Wand and broke into my manor. Most of the magic in the book "Toxic Magic" written by him also came from the teachings of the Elder Wand."
Rove knew that the Elder Wand, the Deathly Hallows, had magical powers, but he didn't expect that it could also teach wizards magic... like a teacher.
Hey, how does this sound so much like Slytherin's basilisk, which is also working on teaching the successor magic.
The two stopped and stopped, and finally came to a wooden house. Nico pushed the door and entered, followed by Rove.
Entering the house, Rove narrowed his eyes and looked at the room:
This is a small room with wooden bookshelves, the top of which is submerged in darkness, and the shelves are full of large and small crystal balls.
Looks a lot like the Hall of Prophecy in the Department of Magical Affairs.
"The prophecies I have obtained for hundreds of years will be stored here."
An oil lamp appeared in Nico's hand, following the light, Rove shuttled through the narrow corridor under the vaulted ceiling.
When they came to a shelf, Nico picked up the crystal ball and handed it to Rove.
The boy held the crystal ball, mist appeared in the center of the ball, and soon formed a finely detailed picture.
Rove stared at the picture, and saw a figure he absolutely didn't want to see.
Pettigrew Peter.
Peter's upper body was naked, and there was a hideous and terrifying face on his chest. That face was as dead white as chalk, with bright red eyes shining, and two snake-like nostrils underneath...
Voldemort!
