Chapter 82: I Didn't Expect You to Be Such a Professor...
"The Philosopher's Stone is the property of my good friend Nicol Lemay, who was informed that Voldemort might be fighting on it, so he asked me to protect it.
That's why I brought the Philosopher's Stone to school and put it in the Mirror of Eris. ”
Dumbledore had to explain to Ivan the origin of the Philosopher's Stone, lest he still worry about begging for the Philosopher's Stone.
At the same time, Dumbledore also told himself about the destruction of the Philosopher's Stone with Nicol Lemay's consent, in order to stifle Ivan's unrealistic ideas.
Even though he had known the result for a long time, Ivan still felt a little pity.
In his previous life, when he read books, he didn't think there was anything remarkable about the Philosopher's Stone, but now that he really faces it, Ivan knows how great the temptation of endless wealth and endless lifespan is for a person.
This is the ultimate dream for absolutely most people!
Dumbledore could see the disappointment in Ivan's eyes, so he had to remind.
"It may be difficult for a young wizard like you to understand, but there are many things in the world that are more precious than wealth and longevity. For example, the courage to risk a friend, or the wisdom shown in times of crisis, these things are the real treasures.
In contrast, the power of the Philosopher's Stone is powerful, but it is not unlimited, just as we cannot create things out of thin air. ”
Dumbledore's blue eyes under his half-moon glasses stared straight at Ivan, who had seen many rare qualities in his recent actions.
He'd seen too many talented wizards, obsessed with power, wealth, power, immortality, Grindelwald, Tom Riddle...
Even though... When you are younger, you are no exception.
If it weren't for Ariana's death to wake him up in time, I'm afraid the wizarding world would have been at war with the Muggles under the joint control of him and Grindelwald...
Ivan nodded undeniably, although he was not as crazy as Voldemort in his pursuit of immortality and power, he would not despise these things as much as Dumbledore.
Even if the Philosopher's Stone has any restrictions or sequelae, it is not hidden, you must know that Nicol Lemay has lived for more than 600 years!
Fortunately, he has now obtained the method of making the magic stone, and maybe in N years, with the increase of the alchemy level, he can also have a magic stone of his own.
Because of this, Ivan quickly collected his emotions, which was also seen by Dumbledore, and he was very satisfied, so he planned to say something happy.
"I don't know who got the word out about you and Harry defeating Quirrell in the Chamber of Secrets, and I'm afraid it will spread all over the school in a few days.
And your actions have also earned Gryffindor the highest 860 house score in the school's history, nearly double that of second-placed Slytherin! It's a pity that you fainted and weren't there, otherwise you would have seen how surprised those little wizards were..."
Ivan rolled his eyes, in addition to the extra points, can he give something more substantial?
And besides you, who else can get the news?
Ivan knew well about Dumbledore's behavior of brushing Harry's prestige, and casually added dozens or hundreds of points without blinking, this time he just piggybacked.
"Alright, when we're happy, it's time for us to talk about something else," Dumbledore said with a smile.
"I was almost terrified when Miss Granger and Mr. Weasley suddenly ran up to me two days ago, panting and told me to rush under the trapdoor to rescue you and Harry.
Fortunately, when I arrived, you were safe, and you were able to defeat Voldemort who possessed Quirrell..."
"That's Harry's work, Professor! After he touched Voldemort, his opponent's body collapsed. Ivan didn't mean to take credit at all, and tried to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible.
"Of course, I know, it's the protective magic in Harry's body, it's the power of love!" Dumbledore nodded, of course he understood what was going on after seeing the scene, and this was not what he wanted to ask.
"But I'm more curious about how you managed to keep Voldemort at bay for so long, I've learned some information from Harry, but it's not thorough enough." Dumbledore said.
Although Voldemort was so weak that he was only left with a soul and controlled a broken body, it was by no means something that a young first-year wizard could compete.
In addition, he was also very interested in the sudden changes in Ivan's body two days ago.
Ivan was eager to ask Dumbledore what Harry had told him, and how to make it up...
But it seems that Ivan knows that Dumbledore, the old slippery head, will definitely not tell him, and only takes the initiative to confess part of the information.
Ivan sighed, looking for something to say, and then organized his words.
"Professor, have you ever experienced the feeling of being able to do anything all of a sudden, as if you were within the range of magic, and you can cast all kinds of spells without a wand or spell?"
"Do you mean that?" Dumbledore thought for a moment, and placed his free left hand lightly on top of a white porcelain cup.
Before he could make any movement, the cup suddenly twisted and stretched, and a few seconds later an owl with snow-white feathers appeared in front of Ivan's eyes.
The owl's eyes were very smart, and after discovering that he had suddenly appeared in a strange place, he wanted to fly out of the school hospital in horror, but he hit the glass headlong and fell straight to the ground, shaking his wings from time to time.
Ivan was stunned, he could tell that this was probably not an ordinary transfiguration charm, otherwise when the owl hit the glass, it would be reduced to a cup and shattered into pieces.
Dumbledore's hand, although slightly different from the one he cast at a great distance when his magic burst out, was based on the same principle.
He also didn't wave his wand or recite spells, and he was able to complete a high-end creature transformation with just his magic power.
It's a shame that he was still thinking about whether he could challenge Dumbledore in such a magical state, but he didn't expect the other party to do the same, but now that he thinks about it, it was really too inflated...
"It's just a little trick, and it doesn't have much effect in real combat." Dumbledore saw Ivan's surprised expression and explained lightly.
This is also called a little trick?
Ivan didn't expect that Professor Dumbledore usually looked modest and conservative, but he had a sullen heart that wanted to pretend to be forced.
Unbeknownst to Ivan, Dumbledore had not lied to him.
This feeling of relying on magic to cast spells as you want is certainly refreshing, but the power of magic is far less than when you hold a wand.
Particularly.. He still had the deathly hallows in his hand, the elderwood wand!
