13, The Way of the Resurrection
As soon as he heard the word resurrection, Hoffa's ears immediately stood up, and suddenly, he left behind all the big explosions and the salvation of the world.
"What? You can be resurrected?"
"Yes. β
Nicol Lemay took out the necklace, "I have been seeking this for many years, but there are still some things missing, which can only be filled by you. β
He waved to Hoffa, "Come and see." β
After saying that, he took out an old key from the bottles and cans, touched the wall, inserted the key into an inconspicuous hole in the wall, and clicked.
The walls rumbled to open to both sides, revealing a dark blue wall of ice behind them, and suddenly the cold inside the room was overwhelming.
Hoffa scratched his head, behind the wall was ice, what kind of medicine was this guy selling in his gourd?
I saw Nicol Lemay tighten his robe, pull out his wand, and point it on the cold wall, which actually opened a pair of pale blue eyes, and the blue eyes looked at Nicol Lemay, and then at Hoffa, and then clicked up and down, like opening a mouth, and those pale blue ice bricks were its teeth.
Nicol Lemay beckoned to Hoffa, and then slowly walked down the pale blue ice mouth.
Hoffa frowned and walked behind him, "What is this?"
"Ice elves, help me guard the treasury. β
As he spoke, Nicol Lemay shuddered and tapped his wand on himself, and a puff of green smoke came out, dispelling the dense ice edges on his body.
The two of them went all the way down, and the water vapor they exhaled turned into ice flowers almost in the blink of an eye.
The temperature is getting lower and lower, gradually dropping to about -100 degrees, and it continues to fall. Even at night, Hoffa felt that his body was a little unbearable, his blood seemed to be frozen to death, he could feel his lungs freezing rapidly, and healing rapidly, very painful, but for the sake of the word "resurrection", he endured it and did not say a word.
Walking to the bottom of the icy road, a pure steel gate appeared in front of him, densely covered with chains and keyholes, and the locks of the Swiss Bank's vaults were no more than that.
Just when Hoffa was surprised at what Nicol Lemay was hiding, so tightly guarded.
Nicol Lemay said: "Don't touch that iron door, it's a blast lock, and if someone touches it, it will definitely cause a big explosion." β
With that, the old man turned a corner and struck his wand on the most inconspicuous ice wall opposite the steel gate. The ice separates left and right again, revealing another staircase that is hidden downward.
Huo Fa exhaled a white breath, thinking that this old man is really yin enough, use a steel gate as a trick, if someone else comes down to steal something, he will definitely subconsciously think that the treasure is hidden behind the iron gate, and if he touches it, he will be blown up.
But he wondered what deserved so much attention from Nicolamet, and was it the legendary Philosopher's Stone?
With such doubts, the two walked down the deep stairs together.
It's cooler, and it's darker.
Reaching the bottom, Nicolame waved his wand, "Fluorescent Fly." β
Countless silver dots of light flew out of the wand, illuminating the small icy basement.
Hoffa's expression remained the same, the darkness had no effect on his vision, he had already seen the furnishings of the basement, there were only two things in the basement.
A freezer, an iron box on the table.
"What exactly are you taking me to see?" he asked.
Nicolame raised his wand and tapped it on the wall.
On the frost-covered wall, a huge pattern is revealed.
It was a rudimentary Trinity pattern, with three elements surrounding a dot.
"I don't know if you've ever heard of blood, flesh, bones, and well, soul. "The four substances that make up the human body. β
Hoffa looked at the triangle on the wall and nodded slowly.
"Of these four substances, in addition to the soul is irreplaceable, the physical body is indeed a replaceable object, and many wizards throughout the ages have realized this. β
Nicol Lemay lifted the necklace in his hand and whispered, "That's why I want to keep Chloe's soul no matter what, if her soul is sent to the Death Mystery, then it will be almost impossible to get it back." β
Hoffa exhaled a breath of white mist and thought of something. The fist clenched.
"I want to resurrect her. Nicol Lemay: "But it's not ordinary blood, flesh, bones, that can be resurrected, the conditions here are extremely harsh......"
"I know. Hoffa interrupted him: "The bones of the father, the blood of the enemy, the flesh of the servant." Right?"
"Shhh
Nicol Lemay gasped, a hint of consternation flashed in his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "You know?
Hoffa shook his head, looked at the necklace in the old man's hand, and said in a low voice: "I've only heard of it, but I haven't really seen it, what's the matter, have you all these elements?"
Nicol Lemay nodded, walked over to the tin box on the table next to him, clicked open the box, and Hofa looked at itβit was a bright red bone, as if it had just been removed from the human body.
"It's Chloe's father's bones. "It is also the bone of my great-great-great-great-grandson, who accidentally lost his right leg in a car accident." β
Car accident?
Hoffa pondered for a moment: "My father's bones are already there, but what about the servant's flesh, do you need me to contribute a piece?"
"It's great that you think so,"
Nicol Lemay smiled, "It would be great if we could use your flesh to bring us back to life, but if you don't want to, we can also find other servants, which is not too harsh." β
"But the blood of the enemy ......"
Hoffa immediately frowned, realizing the problem, Chloe is a peaceful nun, the first half of her body is spent in the convent, where is the enemy, even if there is an enemy, it is estimated that it is the group of nacui who destroyed the monastery.
But fifty years have passed, and ** has long since turned to ashes, where to find the blood of the enemy.
Nicol Lemay saw Hoffa's concern, and he smiled, "You haven't done anything for fifty years, Bach." β
I saw him walk up to the only freezer in the room, and said proudly: "This is exactly what I built this ice room for, for fifty years, to preserve a piece of blood for fifty years, and let it not be damaged." β
With that, he slammed open the door of the freezer.
A white chill came to your face until the ice fog cleared.
Hoffa saw a black, crumpled body lying in the freezer. He leaned against the freezer, thin as a monkey, and his frost-covered face was vaguely dazed and confused.
Recognizing his identity, Hoffa's eyes immediately widened, and he involuntarily took a step back, and subconsciously pressed his palm on the scar on his chest.
Mance!!
The only person Chloe has ever killed in her life, her only enemy.
reappeared in front of him after fifty years, and still maintained the posture he had just died.
At this moment, his breath froze.
Then a touch of ecstasy appeared on his face, as if the girl who had been chasing for years had finally succeeded, which made him feel the kindness of the world again.
Nicol Lemay laughed: "Everything you experienced in Bournemouth was under my observation, and within a few minutes of your departure, I took back his body, and for fifty years I have cared for this corpse, no matter the cost, and I assure you that the blood of this corpse must be fresh and usable." β
"Then resurrection, what are you waiting for?"
Hoffa grabbed the old man's shoulder, "Blood, bones, flesh, conditions are all there, hurry up and resurrect her." β
"Painful ......"
Probably because he was so excited, Nicolame almost didn't break his shoulder.
Hoffa realized that he had lost his temper and quickly let go of his palm.
"You think too much, how can it be so simple, although I am good at alchemy, but I am not good at refining the human body. Nicol Lemay sighed: "Legend has it that many years ago, the second of the three brothers of the greatest alchemist, Peverell, Cadmus Peverell, lost his love. Obsessed with the study of resurrection all his life, he not only developed the resurrection stone to preserve people's souls, but also developed the secret art of human body refining.
Although in the end, he was not able to truly resurrect his lover. But he left behind this secret method, the secret method of refining the human body, which is the top alchemy secret technique in the wizarding world, and it is also one of the most forbidden magic. β
After a pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "Although I know that the three main materials I need are father's bones, the blood of enemies, and the flesh of servants. But that doesn't mean that I can just make a pot and throw these three things into it, and I can refine a body. This ability to create life must be extremely sophisticated and complex. β
After a pause, he said, "I need a real recipe, a real original recipe with details, and this kind of formula, only one person in the world knows." β
Hoffa's eyes widened, predicting something: "It's hard...... Is it ......?"
Nicol Lemay looked at him with a frenzy in his eyes that belonged to an alchemist, and this fanaticism Hofa had seen in Noble's eyes: "Yes, the only one who knows the true details of this secret method, the only remaining bloodline of Cadmus Peverell - and your classmate."
Tom Marvolo Riddle. β
