The renovation of the hut is a technical job,

The yard is fine, not big or small, just having afternoon tea with William, Hermione and Anne.

A few friends come once in a while, such as Luna and Cedric, and they are more than enough.

But the area outside the yard should be expanded, especially the creek.

William decided to remodel it and divide it into two rivers, the inner and the lower.

The inner layer is still the same stream, and there are all kinds of koi fish. The outer layer resembles a lake for Horcruxes...... It can only be crossed by a specific boat.

This is only the inner defense circle, there are other defense mechanisms outside the river.

The set of the forbidden area on the fourth floor of the school, why does William have to copy it again, and have an enhanced version, right?

Look at Quirrell, but his head was bleeding and he died in it.

The renovation of the house is a big project, and it is related to the future safety issues.

I'm afraid it won't work for a year and a half, so for a long time to come, William will often bring Hermione back.

Less than halfway through their lives, Nicol came to visit the cottage.

It was a long-scheduled meeting, and William and Hermione stood at the door waiting before the time arrived.

Soon, the stream swirls and bubbles, like fountains.

A moment later, the golden toad submarine, jumping out from under the water, fell into the yard, and then quickly grew larger.

The hatch opened, and Nicol slowly stepped out.

He wears a charcoal black pullover sweater, a tweed jacket, yellow khaki pants, and preppy Cordobar pilofe shoes.

Nicol was not at all a wizard and more like an elegant old professor at the university.

"Good afternoon, boys."

Nicol held a cane of green vine in his left hand and stretched his withered right hand forward.

"Long time no see, Nicol." William reached out and shook his hand.

Hermione stood beside William and smiled, "Hello, Nicol. ”

"Oh, Hermione...... You're getting more and more radiant. Nicol smiled. William didn't bully you, did he? ”

"No...... It's me who bullied him! Hermione said playfully.

"yes, that's a good hobby." Nicol blinked and chuckled, "Keep it up." ”

Hermione raised her chin and smirked at William, "Did you hear that?" ”

William just grinned.

Nicol pulled out a black package.

"This is my Christmas present for both of you...... It took a little thought. ”

William took the package, and when he opened it, he found two solid black robes.

Cool, silky, like an invisibility cloak.

"Flying cloak, did you make it?" William touched his robe and said in surprise.

"yes." Nicol looked at the two robes in his hand with satisfaction, and said:

"With the Dementors and Voldemort Bat you gave, follow the steps of the alchemy book. Although the process was a bit more cumbersome, it was finally manufactured. ”

Nicol is worthy of being a master alchemist, as long as there are materials, there is no magic item that he can't make.

William is still far from that.

Hermione took the flying cloak, a little fond of it, and prepared to take a low-altitude test flight in the yard for a while.

William took Nicol and went into the study.

The study is on the third floor and the room is divided into two rooms.

The larger one has expanded a lot with the Traceless Stretching Charm, like a small library.

On the shelves inside, a large number of magic books are placed. It's all William and Hermione that they've seen or collected over the years.

Through a delicate double door, you enter another room, which is the study.

Three chandeliers hang from the ceiling, illuminating the room, which is beautifully decorated.

Both Hermione and Annie added a lot of suggestions.

The most obvious manifestation of this is the oak floor with a large birch table with three positions.

William, Hermione, and Annie's.

Originally, William thought that only one would do, but Hermione and Anne were not satisfied, so they added two more ...... It became such a strange look.

A clock of coloured light is hung on the table, calibrated to the fraction of a second, and the light source travels around a pre-set color spectrum, completing a lap every six hours, strictly following the planetary timetable.

On the wall of the room, there is also a picture frame. Soon, a portrait of Dumbledore appeared inside.

"Hello, Arbus." Nicol greeted casually.

The portrait in the portrait was exactly the same as Dumbledore's, but he looked a little sluggish, he just nodded slightly, and turned away.

"Not quite like that, is it?"

Nicol said, sitting down on the velvet couch by the window.

"The headmaster is too busy to properly tweak his portrait." William sat down next to him.

If the portrait wants to be the same as my own temperament, it must be repeatedly trained by the wizard, and it must be exposed to it year after year.

William poured Nicol a cup of black tea, and the old man just took a sip and eagerly pulled out a book made of delicately smooth bark.

- Alchemy Book!

In fact, Nicol hasn't taken the book out of the manor since it was built.

This is the first time.

With a hand like the bark of a tree, Ni opened the book with three sets of contents.

The first group contains all the alchemical items that have appeared in the wizarding world.

The second group has a method for making Deathly Hallows.

In the third group, there will be alchemical items that have not appeared in the wizarding world.

And this book, in a group of seven pages, is divided into three groups.

On the seventh page of the first group, a wand devoured by a python is drawn, and on the seventh page of the second group, a goblet is drawn.

Slytherin's wand, still missing, is waiting for little Tom to lead the way.

And William has already gotten the goblet - the Holy Grail - to unlock a third set of content.

He gently took the heavy Goblet of Fire out of the box and slowly lifted it up.

"What do you need to do, get close to the alchemy book?"

"Yes, put it on this." Nicol flipped the alchemy book to the goblet page.

William put the chalice on it, he let go of his hand, and the goblet actually hung in the air automatically, steady and not falling.

The originally obscure picture suddenly lit up and shone brightly.

The contents of the third volume are spread out like a book of death written by the Grim Reaper.

The phantoms of countless alchemy items flickered in the air, one by one lifelike, like holographic projections.

Nicol stared at the magnificent scroll, his eyes blazing, he reached out and grabbed the alchemy book, just the thought together, the phantoms quickly overlapped.

The book of alchemy was once again restored to its bark appearance.

He turned to the third book again, and read it silently in his heart, only to see a large amount of handwriting appearing, interspersed with many pictures.

Nicol flipped through it quickly, completely immersed. He quickly saw the end, but he was stunned, sighed in amazement, and leaned back in his chair.

"Oops, William, we've become the ...... of the three brothers Boss. ”

William frowned and took the book from Nicol's hand.

The Philosopher's Stone can prolong life, but it cannot live forever, which William has long known.

After all, flesh and blood...... The mortal body does not last forever.

Nicol, who is more than 600 years old, is already as old as the bark of a tree.

In his condition, even if he refined a few more magic stones, he would only live to be a thousand years old at most.

The Book of Alchemy creates Philosopher's Stones, which can be used to make elixirs and prolong life.

Nicol is trying to craft a new alchemical item that can reverse physical aging and regain his youthfulness.

With these two things, eternal life can be achieved.

But there is no such thing in the wizarding world, at least not before. Now, by opening the contents of the third volume, you can make this kind of thing.

Did William & Nicol succeed?

Of course it worked.

The Book of Alchemy offers a new alchemy item, and how it is crafted.

- Azot.

The book is written in ancient runi script, and William does not seem to have much of an obstacle.

According to the description in the book, Azote corresponds to the Philosopher's Stone and is a universal solvent and universal elixir.

It makes it possible to transform matter, to rejuvenate the body, to heal all injuries.

But here's the problem...... In the Tale of the Three Brothers, the Boss crafts the Philosopher's Stone.

The alchemy book only has the way to refine the Philosopher's Stone, but it does not tell him how to make the elixir of life.

Even if William and Nicol refine Azot, they will not be able to make a rejuvenation potion.

Because, they don't have a boiling step.

Grim Reaper's Trap...... Again appeared.
