Chapter 45: Add more fire, and the dragon's egg will be ripe
After exchanging half-baked dragon training and dragon raising skills with each other, Ivan changed his words, and even boldly guessed that if he raised the temperature, he might be able to speed up the hatching of dragon eggs.
As soon as Ivan finished speaking, he wanted to fill the boiler with some firewood and make another flame, but this bold idea was quickly stopped by Hagrid in time.
What are you kidding, no matter how high the temperature is, this dragon egg will be cooked...
"Ivan, we're not here to discuss how to raise dragons...", seeing that the two of them seemed to be chatting more and more energetically, Harry quickly interrupted.
I'm here to raise dragons... Ivan silently complained in his heart, but he still noticed Hermione's strange gaze looking at him, and immediately looked at Hagrid and changed the subject.
"Hagrid, can you tell me how you got this dragon egg?"
"Of course it was won, and I got it the other day when I was playing cards with a stranger in the tavern, and to be honest, the man was probably desperate to get rid of it." Hagrid's face was full of pride, how many people could win a dragon egg at the poker table?
"What does that guy look like? Are you interested in your three-headed dog Norway? Hermione realized something was wrong.
"It seems like that... But anyone would be interested, right? Large dogs with three heads are uncommon. Hagrid struggled to think back.
"I drank some wine and told him that Norway likes music the most, and that he can fall asleep as long as he has it." Hagrid said triumphantly.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Hagrid immediately realized that something was wrong, he seemed to expose something amazing.
"Who's that man!" Harry asked hurriedly.
Hagrid also realized the urgency of the situation at this time, and struggled to recall. "I don't know, the man is wearing a black cloak, he can't see his face clearly, plus I drank a little wine, I just remember that his voice is a little hoarse, not quite like a normal person."
"It must be Snape, or maybe Chino, they must be doing something nasty." Ron was now more and more sure that their previous guess in the hallway was right, and the blood that had just been extinguished by Snape rekindled in his heart.
"Did you say Nicol Lemay last time?" Harry guessed, and finally asked. "Hagrid, can you tell us what's hidden under the trapdoor?"
Hermione also stared at Hagrid with curiosity, she had searched the Hogwarts library in the past few days, and searched all the famous figures in the past two hundred years, but she did not find any news about Nicol Lemay.
Hagrid was adamantly reluctant to reveal the slightest bit of information this time, saying only that it was not their business, and that he would tell Dumbledore about his mistakes, even if he would be punished for it.
"It's the Philosopher's Stone!" Ivan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"How do you know it's the Philosopher's Stone?" Hagrid was shocked, this time he hadn't said anything.
However, Hagrid didn't know that his opening had confirmed the truth of Ivan's words.
"Philosopher's Stone? What is that? What does it do? Ivan, how do you know? Harry asked hurriedly.
"That's what I stumbled upon when I was making wizard flags and looking at the professor's materials.
Harry, remember what was written in the last sentence of the card you got about Professor Dumbledore? Together with his partner Nicol Lemay, he was very productive in alchemy. The Philosopher's Stone was developed by the famous alchemist Nicole Lemay. Ivan explained one by one.
Now that Harry and the others had already found out the news from Hagrid that they had passed through the three-headed dog Norway, Ivan felt that there was nothing to hide about the Philosopher's Stone, and they would be able to find it in a few days anyway.
"As for the effect, the Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life, so that those who drink this medicine can live forever, and its maker, Nicol Lemay, is more than six hundred years old this year."
Speaking of this, Ivan was also a little envious, this is something that can achieve immortality after getting it, and I don't know what kind of mentality Nicol Lemay will destroy such a thing.
If Ivan hadn't known that the Philosopher's Stone was a bait deliberately set up by Dumbledore, and he was always under Dumbledore's supervision, he couldn't help but want to break through and steal it.
Ivan was still like this, let alone Harry and the others who had heard about the Philosopher's powerful power for the first time.
Turning stones into gold represents endless wealth, elixirs can make people immortal, and it can be said that getting the Philosopher's Stone is getting everything they want to have!
"Is it any wonder that Snape or Professor Chino are going to risk their attention, a philosopher's stone that can make gold, and who can resist his temptation?" Ron couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were only eleven or twelve years old, and eternal life was not attractive enough for them, except for Ron who fantasized a little in his heart about how he could use the Philosopher's Stone to make a fortune, Harry and Hermione didn't have much idea about the Philosopher's Stone.
"Listen, the Philosopher's Stone has nothing to do with you, Dumbledore will take care of it." Hagrid had to interrupt their discussion and solemnly reminded.
Ivan also nodded, although the obstacles set up by the professors in the original book seemed to him to be at the level of a master, it was okay to stop the students of Hogwarts, and it was not enough for those powerful adult wizards to stop them.
But the magic that Dumbledore applied on the Mirror of Eris was still very powerful, and only those who did not want to get the Philosopher's Stone and could restrain their innermost desires could obtain the treasures hidden in the Mirror of Eris.
In other words, if Harry hadn't delivered it himself, even if Chino and Voldemort had stayed there for a few days and nights and blew up the Mirror of Eris, they wouldn't have gotten what they wanted.
It's a pity that Ivan knows in his heart that Harry and Ron don't know the news, and they only feel that the magic stone hidden under the trapdoor may be taken by the bad guys at any time, and they must do something.
In the end, Hermione, who was still sane, proposed to go to Professor Dumbledore and tell him what had happened, so that Dumbledore could make a decision.
Ivan originally just wanted to be a melon-eater and listen to their discussion, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong...
Looking for Dumbledore in the Headmaster's Office?
No, no, no... He didn't want to go!
"I think there's something wrong with the cake I ate at noon.." Ivan's face changed abruptly, and he said with his right hand covering his stomach.
It's a pity that before Ivan could show off his acting skills, he was pulled away by the hot-blooded Harry and Ron.
This is a matter of the Philosopher's Stone, and it may affect the entire school, so you can put it aside first...
