Chapter 539: Elder wand and crown
Chapter 539 The Elder Wand and the Crown
By the time Kyle came out of the principal's office, it was already evening.
Mainly because Dumbledore couldn't wait to leave after getting the ashes of Nirvana. According to Nico, he needed to prepare other things needed to refine the magic stone.
Nico is also going back.
Per his request, Kyle sent him to the highest place in the school, the tower of the astronomy class.
Nico walked very slowly, and Kyle followed him, walking slowly towards the tower.
Occasionally, one or two Gryffindor students could be encountered in the corridor. They asked curiously what Kyle was doing and why he was walking so slowly, as if he didn't even notice Nico next to him.
"A little trick." Nico explained: "I don't want my name to appear in tomorrow's newspaper. This can save me a lot of trouble."
Kyle nodded in understanding.
The name Nicoléme seemed to have magic power. Even if he only showed up somewhere, the impact would be enough to cause a sensation in the entire magical world.
It is precisely because of this that he almost never leaves his manor. At most, he only goes to his old French house or a Muggle beach away from wizards for a vacation at certain times.
The two continued to walk forward. When they turned around the first corridor, Kyle couldn't help but ask: "Nico, is the help you just mentioned a crown?"
“I knew you were going to ask me.” Nico said, “The soul fragment in the crown has completely disappeared. As I just said, it is as good as new now.
I have to say, it is really the most perfect alchemical item I have ever seen. Even I can't resist the charm of the crown..."
“I thought you would bring the crown this time.” Kyle suddenly said: “After all, the time we agreed on was half a year.”
"I originally wanted to bring it." Nico's expression remained unchanged, "But I overestimated my memory, but we can't expect an old man who is over 600 years old to always remember everything, right?
“And Tata, you should have reminded me when you went out.”
Tata, who was following behind, twitched his ears and said, "I'm sorry, Master, Tata will remember it next time."
Tata then lowered his head and continued walking forward in silence.
What can he do? He is just a poor house elf. He can only hold the pot firmly and put it on his body.
Kyle curled his lips, now he somewhat understood why Nico came here in person.
Here, he can forget to bring the crown, but if Kyle goes to the manor to deliver it, there will be no reason.
As expected of an old wizard who has lived for more than 600 years, he is very clever.
"Okay, no more joking." Nico said with a smile, "I can give you the crown at any time, but I don't recommend you to touch it too early... The reason is, I don't know if you have heard of the Deathly Hallows. story."
"The Deathly Hallows in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard"?" Kyle replied: "I've seen it, it's the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak."
“That’s right, that’s it.”
Nico said slowly: "Overly powerful abilities always tend to make people lose their minds, just like in the story of the three brothers, Antioch Peverell got the Elder Wand. After gaining invincible power, he But he forgot to be cautious and vigilant, and was easily killed in the end.
“The crown is another form of the Elder Wand. The wisdom it brings will make people want to stop, but once the crown is taken off, they will feel that they have lost everything.
If you don’t have a strong enough heart, it will never be possible to get rid of this feeling of loss...unless you can wear it forever, or in other words, be controlled by it. "
Kyle listened silently and asked after a long time, "Nico, are even you affected by the crown?"
“Oh, of course not.”
Nico smiled and said, "I have experienced so many things that I can't remember them all. They are constantly changing me, until today, six hundred years later, I can face everything calmly. "
While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the tower of the astronomy class.
At this point, Tata behind him walked forward quickly. After groping on the tower for a while, he seemed to find something.
Then he pressed hard with both hands.
It was as if a large "invisibility cloak" had been ripped off, revealing an... airship hidden underneath.
That's right, it's an airship. It's almost as big as a giant squid in the black lake, and the carriage underneath is like a boat upside down on the lake.
It is hard to imagine that such a large airship can be safely parked on a small tower, but if we associate it with Nicoléme, it suddenly becomes reasonable. “This is for you.” Nico took out a blank piece of parchment and handed it to Kyle.
"If you think about it, write to me. With this parchment, the owl can find the location of the manor."
"Okay." After Kyle accepted it, he thought for a moment and said, "But do you still have such parchment? One piece may not be enough."
“What?” Nico didn’t respond. "It's just a letter, it doesn't need to be too long."
Kyle didn’t explain, but silently took out a box.
Nico subconsciously took a few steps forward.
He recognized that this was the box he had given to Kyle, and the Ravenclaw diadem was also taken out of this box.
So what was it this time? He couldn't help but be curious. It couldn't be that Kyle had found another Horcrux.
“It just so happens that I was thinking about going to Devon again sometime, but now I don’t have to.”
Kyle opened the box casually, which contained a small gold cup with two handles and a locket set with gems.
Seeing the contents in the box, Nico's mouth twitched, "Could this be..."
“Ah, this is Hufflepuff’s golden cup, and Slytherin’s locket.”
Kyle said, "It's just that they have been made into Horcruxes now... If there is any excess of the ancient magic potion from before, can you help clean up the soul fragments in these two things?
After all, they are all left behind by the Big Four, so it would be a pity to be made into a Horcrux. "
Nico couldn't help but rub his eyes.
In fact, the moment he opened the box, he could already see that the two things in the box were real.
But just because it was true, he found it unbelievable.
Kyle collected three things left by the Big Four at Hogwarts. How did he do it...
And how did Voldemort make these into Horcruxes?
First it was the crown, and now it was the gold cup and the locket. If Nico hadn't clearly known that Gryffindor's sword was in Hogwarts, well placed inside the Sorting Hat in the principal's office, he would have doubted it. Has the sword also been made into a Horcrux?
"I can promise you." Nico raised his finger and took out two things from the box, "But you may have to wait patiently for a while, at least until the magic stone is completed, I may not have time."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Kyle said, "But Nico, do you know the functions of these two things?"
Although the gold cup and locket are not as famous as the crown, they still bear the names of the four giants, so they cannot be useless decorations.
"Speaking of this, I know a little bit about it." Nico thought for a moment and said: "I saw them once about a hundred and three hundred years ago.
“A locket is a nice container, and the contents inside it are immune to any magical influence.
“And the most important thing is that it is extremely strong. If you don’t know how to speak, even the powerful Elder Wand cannot destroy this locket.
“The golden cup can always produce a steady stream of wine, which tastes sweet. I drank it once, and I still remember it fresh. For wizards who like to drink, it is the most precious treasure.”
"Wait, wine is transformed from a cup? But Gamp's law of transformation..." Kyle frowned in confusion: "Could it be a permanent full spell?"
"No, I'm sure it's not a refilling spell or a transfer spell." Nico said, "No one knows where the wine in the cup comes from, just like people can't explain why Ravenclaw's crown can increase The wisdom of the wearer is the same.
But this is also consistent with the character of Helga Hufflepuff.
It is said that Hufflepuff spent a lifetime brewing enough wine to fill the entire Hogwarts, but maybe it’s because there are still underage wizards here, or maybe it’s because Godric always drinks secretly. So all the wine was finally put into her favorite gold cup. "
