The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts - Vol 4 Chapter 185
“I really let him do it…” Dumbledore shook his head and smiled bitterly. He didn’t expect that Tom could actually make the highest achievement representative of alchemy, and it only took less than half a year.
What Dumbledore can be sure of is that Tom did not realize this by himself, but must have been assisted by some external force.
He guessed right, if it wasn’t for Menes’ jade slate, Tom would have no chance of success in refining. But with the help of the jade slate, Tom made the impossible possible.
Tom and Hermione found a secluded corner where they were going to take the Philosopher’s Stone.
Tom took out the pots and mortar mortar, put the magic stone in it, and then smashed it with a stone pestle. The seemingly hard magic stone was broken into several pieces at once.
After Tom beat it a few times, the gleaming blood-colored stone turned into a blood-red powder. Tom did not intend to stop, and repeatedly beat and crushed the pile of powder, trying to make them more delicate.
“Have you ever regretted it?” Hermione asked quietly after watching Tom turn the Philosopher’s Stone into powder, “The Philosopher’s Stone can turn stone into gold.”
“So what?” Tom looked up in confusion.
“You can take a Philosopher’s Stone and make a lot of gold, and then you can do many, many things…”
A question mark slowly appeared in Tom’s head.
“What’s the point?”
“That’s gold!” Hermione’s eyes seemed to light up when she said this, “Aren’t you interested in gold?”
After thinking about it seriously, Tom replied: “Interested, the love for gold should have been imprinted in the genes of human beings. Anyone who sees a lot of stacked gold can’t help but get excited.”
Before Hermione could say anything, Tom continued: “But if I want to get gold, I don’t need to embezzle your Philosopher’s Stone at all. I can ask Dumbledore for it, I can earn it with my alchemy skills, and I can even command Dementors go for it, but you don’t need to use the magic stone to turn it into gold – in my opinion, it is more reliable to sell the magic stone than to use it for alchemy.”
Tom was telling the truth. If he gave up his face now, he could **** up an astonishing wealth in a very short period of time. Not to mention anything else, just indulging Dementors to loot can easily get dozens of tons of gold.
“Alright alright!” Hermione interrupted Tom’s chatter as though she had heard a satisfactory answer.
She pointed to the powder in the mortar and said, “Is it almost there? I think I can drink it with water.”
The magic book in the mortar has turned into a fine powder.
Tom carefully poured them into a cup, and then poured some water into it. The powder of the magic stone was dissolved in the water at once, making the cup of water the color of blood.
Hermione took the water glass from Tom’s hand and drank the liquid inside.
Tom looked at her with concern, and when she saw that she had finished drinking, he couldn’t wait to ask, “How are you feeling, are you feeling better?”
Hermione smacked her lips, indicating that there was no taste at all. This is good news, because the potion that Snape prepared obviously hadn’t considered the taste.
After taking the Philosopher’s Stone, Hermione’s complexion looked much better, with a radiant feeling, and the collagen on her face seemed to be fuller.
But other than that, nothing else has changed.
Tom raised Hermione’s face with his index finger, looked left and right for a while, and finally said with a chuckle: “In my eyes, you are more valuable than gold as heavy as you.”
“Really? Then I have to eat fat.” Hermione blinked playfully.
The two hugged each other and said something sloppy. When he was about to leave, Tom found that the mortar and pestle just now were still stained with some Philosopher’s Stone powder.
Tom:…
“It shouldn’t be a problem if you didn’t eat a whole Philosopher’s Stone, right?” He was a little unsure, but considering that Philosopher’s Stone is used to replenish vitality, it shouldn’t hurt to lack some leftovers.
“Wait.” Hermione suddenly remembered something, and pulled out a box of balm from her pocket.
With a wave of her wand, the balm in the box floated out in a ball.
Tom: ?
He watched Hermione use balm on his mortar and pestle, and absorbed the remaining magic stone powder into it.
The powdered balm was sent back to the box by Hermione intact. At this time, the tan-yellow balm had turned pink.
“This is…?” Tom was confused.
“It’s not a waste, do you want to apply some?” Hermione picked out a little balm from the box, and generously stretched it out in front of Tom.
“Then this should be the most extravagant cosmetics in the world, right?” Tom couldn’t help but want to complain, ordinary cosmetics are luxurious enough to add pearl powder, Hermione, you actually add magic stone chips directly…
There is no more arrogant existence in the entire magic world than her!
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or it’s really miraculous. The balm mixed with the Philosopher’s Stone made Hermione’s skin whiter and more tender. But everything has a price. Tom bravely explained to Professor Snape in the potions class why the potion powder he grinded had an aroma, which was the price Hermione paid for doing so~www.mtlnovel.com ~The days go by, and the final project of the Triwizard Tournament and the final exam are approaching together.
In order to host the third project, Hogwarts made some “small makeovers” to the Quidditch pitch, transforming the pitch into a maze. It is said that the warriors need to go through the maze to get the three-strong cup set in the middle of the maze.
“The Age of Rebirth”
The first Warrior to get the trophy is the winner of the game. He will receive the supreme honor and the bonus of eight hundred Galleons.
Of course, this maze is not a simple maze. Under Tom’s suggestion, Dumbledore set it up into a three-dimensional maze. The entire maze has 27 sections, which are arranged like a third-order Rubik’s cube, and will move positions at regular intervals. It’s difficult enough to be a nightmare for warriors.
Of course, the warriors do not know these details, they only know that they are going through the maze.
On the day of the game, senior officials from the Ministry of Magic, represented by Minister of Magic Burns, will also visit here, along with distinguished guests from the far east – but to ensure the safety of the distinguished guests, Hogwarts will Strict security is set up and their wands are confiscated.
This was Principal Dumbledore’s pretext to prevent them from entering Hogwarts, but I didn’t expect these Japanese magicians to agree at once, and said that they could fully understand what the Hogwarts school did. Their cooperative attitude really can’t make Dumbledore refuse their application to watch the game.
And what kind of storm can a wizard without a wand make?
