Mercury coughed and slowly told the story he knew.

Or the river, the three brothers and the Grim Reaper who always wore a hood.

"You have escaped death with your ingenuity, so choose a reward." Death said.

The Boss, a potions master, tells Death that he wants a magical cauldron that can automatically brew any potion you want, without the owner's hands!

Death walked over to an elderberry tree on the shore and broke off a branch with white flowers.

He went to the bank of the river again, dug up the earth with a twig, and made a strangely shaped crucible and gave it to the boss.

The second is a wizard thirsty for knowledge, who tells the Grim Reaper that he wants to get the same wisdom as the Grim Reaper.

So the Grim Reaper used the elderberry branch that dug the earth, wound it into a wreath, and handed it to the second child.

The Grim Reaper told the second child that by taking this garland, he would be able to gain the same knowledge as him.

Death asks the youngest child what he wants.

The third child is the most humble and the smartest, he doesn't believe in death, so he wants something that will keep him out of the control of time.

Reluctantly, the Grim Reaper chopped off the index finger of his right hand and handed it to him, a slender index finger phalanx.

As long as you have this finger bone, you can let the third child control time.

After giving away the reward, the Grim Reaper stood out of the way, allowing the three brothers to continue on their way.

As they walked, they talked about the wonderful experience they had just had, admiring the gift of death.

Later, the three brothers broke up and headed towards their respective destinations.

The boss walked for more than a week, and he first said to the crucible: "Crucible, crucible, I am already very old, my legs and feet are inconvenient, and I need the potion of immortality." ”

Soon, a red liquid surged inside the crucible.

After the boss drank it, he really felt that he was dozens of years younger, and his whole body was full of vitality.

He knew he would never grow old again, and he had eternal life!

Later, the boss came to a remote mountain village, and the villagers of that mountain village all had a strange disease, and no one could cure it.

The Boss boasted of the crucible he had received from the Grim Reaper, capable of brewing any potion.

He was willing to treat the villagers, but everyone had to pay a large sum of gold.

The rich villagers gave the boss all their gold, and after drinking the potion he gave, he was cured.

For those villagers who have no money, the boss refuses to be treated.

Every night, the Boss drank the potion from the cauldron: it was a potion that could make him sleep more comfortably.

One night in the middle of the night, a poor villager sneaked into the boss's room, stole the crucible next to his bed, slit his throat, and took the gold.

In this way, the Grim Reaper took the boss's life.

At the same time, the second child returned to his home, he had a newborn child, and a beautiful wife.

But the second child is not happy, and his infinite knowledge allows him to master everything. He knows the vastness of the universe and the infinity of time and space......

What are human beings, and what are family affections, but they are just ants and dust.

Soon, he discovered that he still had something he didn't know, and that was ...... Death.

Death can take life, but it can't kill people himself.

The second child, who got the wisdom of death, has not tasted this kind of taste.

So, he killed his wife and children.

One day, the garland was blown off by a gale, the knowledge of the Grim Reaper was gone, and he regained his feelings.

Looking at the corpses of his wife and children who were killed by himself, he was in pain, so he committed suicide.

In this way, the Grim Reaper took the life of the second child.

However, the Grim Reaper has been looking for the third child for many years, but he has never been able to find him.

It turned out that the third child was afraid of being discovered, so he joined the phalanx end to end and made a phalanx ring, which was always put on his right index finger.

He had been using this finger bone to keep himself alive the day before he met the Grim Reaper, and never let the next day come, so that the Grim Reaper would not be able to find him.

Many years later, the third child finally got tired of this life, he had lived enough, so he used the finger bone ring to adjust the time to the day he was about to die of old age.

The third child finally took off the ring, let the time pass slowly, and then greeted the Grim Reaper like an old friend, and happily left the world with him as an equal.

Mercury finally finished the story.

Newt wasn't too surprised, and seemed to have heard the story before.

William frowned, his right hand clenched to his chest, where a ring hung over.

- Ravenclaw Bronze Ring!

Regarding the story of the old Bean version of the Grim Reaper and the three brothers, William was not too touched, but just regarded it as a story.

After all, he doesn't have the strongest wand, no resurrection stone to resurrect others, and no invisibility cloak.

But he has a ring that can be repeated over and over again, and there are no drawbacks of a time turner.

Sometimes it's more than just a coincidence.

So...... Does it mean that there is a crucible that automatically boils all potions, and a wreath of infinite wisdom?

In fact, how does the effect of this wreath sound so much like a Ravenclaw tiara?

Could it be that Ravenclaw once collected two of the three things?

William's thinking quickly diverged: if these are all there, does it mean that the Grim Reaper really exists?

As Newt said: The sirens are the guides of the underworld and the most faithful servants of death.

William really couldn't figure it out.

At this time, Hermione suddenly said: "Two very interesting little stories, both about the Grim Reaper and the three brothers.

But I think it's just a story, it's for entertainment.

As you have heard, there are already two versions of this story, and maybe a third or a fourth.

Anyone can make up the three gifts of death at will according to their own ideas. ”

Mercury smiled respectfully, "I don't know, this story was told by my great-grandfather when he was a child. ”

After a moment of silence, Newt glanced around, they were very close to Nicol's manor.

He withdrew his gaze and said, "That's it, these stories are just an old man's nonsense. ”

In fact, Dumbledore told him the same thing back then, but it was soon proved that he had been cheated and went around helping Dumbledore find the Deathly Hallows.

At that moment, a dumbfounded sniffer came out of Newt's pocket

It glanced cautiously at Hermione and William, then fixed its gaze on William.

With its unique racial talent, it knew at a glance which of the two little wizards here was richer.

So it sneaked out and stalked along the Thunderbird's feathers, trying to steal Galleons from William's pocket.

It reached into the pouch of the Traceless Stretch Charm with its paws, and suddenly grabbed something furry.

Sniff tugged hard and pulled an orange cat out.

Bobo Tea, who had been sleeping in the bag, was startled, and it glared at the hateful thief viciously, and exhaled with one paw.

Sniff screamed and fell.

William's wand spun, sniff floated up, his whole body bound by the Bondage Charm.

Fred had a sniffer, and William was now very good at dealing with this little guy.

Newt smiled and reached out to scratch Sniff's belly.

A lot of glittering stuff fell out of it.

"This is Nicol's alchemy item," Newt sighed and said angrily, "I won't bring you next time!" ”

William picked up a golden coin in a pile of alchemical items.

- Victoria's Secret Commemorative Coin!

William looked at Newt's gaze and suddenly became extremely strange.

……

……

(The third watch, finally made up for the one that was owed.) ）
