316. The Price of Immortality

There is no doubt that McGoth chose to stay in France and go to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Thanks to Nick. Mailer didn't say anything about using Floo Powder or Phantom Transfer, and Mygoth had to fly off on a broomstick in the direction he had told him.

On the way, Magos curiously asked where they were and why there were so many dark magic creatures, he had never seen such a large number of dark magic creatures, except for the Dementors, of course.

"It's a magic-shrouded primeval forest, similar to the Forbidden Forest outside Hogwarts, and Muggles wouldn't know that there is such a huge forest outside of their sight, and it's not surprising that there are so many dark magic creatures in it, and the Forbidden Forest is much more dangerous than here." Speaking of Nick. Mailer glanced back at the forest that was getting farther and farther away.

"Speaking of this forest, there has always been such a legend in the French wizarding world.

It is said that in the Middle Ages, there was a wizard who loved curiosity and was keen to collect all kinds of magical items, but most of those items were wizards, so he created several spells that could steal wizards' items, as well as a magical item that could teleport magical items away.

No one knew where he hid those things, even if he was eventually caught and tortured by some dark wizards, and his location was not revealed until his death. For this reason, it is now rumored that there are countless treasures there. ”

McGoth glanced back in disbelief,

"Could it be the cave we just had?" He couldn't believe it, because he didn't think it looked like a treasure, at least he didn't see a few gold coins.

"It should be." Nick. Mailer nodded, then smiled at the thought of Magos.

"It's all legends, and the so-called treasures are just made up by wizards who don't have the ability and don't want to work hard, because they can only look at these ethereal words to inspire themselves to become a lucky one."

"But it's also very secluded, and if it weren't for that sniffer, I probably wouldn't have been able to find you, even if this little guy kept telling me that you were nearby."

"And the strength of the cave's protection is beyond my expectations, without me or a wizard with Dumbledore's magic power, ordinary people can't use magic to enter it."

McGoth thanked him thoughtfully again, and then Nick. Mailer let him run away on a broomstick, and he couldn't help but be glad that it was Nick who came to save him. Mailer, not a normal wizard.

Nick. Mailer seemed to guess what he was thinking, and shook his head with a smile.

"A wizard who wields a philosopher's stone will never lack magic."

These words stunned McGoss, and he didn't know what to reply.

"In fact, if I were to appear in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, the scale of the dark magic creatures that would appear there would be much larger than just now."

"You?" Magos was shocked, could it be that those dark magic creatures were aimed at Nick. Mailer is here?

Nick. Mailer touched Viadandy, who had just been hiding in Magos's magic robe,

"The Philosopher's Stone doesn't just give you the power of immortality, when you get the immortality granted by the Philosopher's Stone, what's the difference between you and the Philosopher's Stone at this time. In the eyes of those dark magic creatures, perhaps no treasure can compare to me. ”

'Tang monk meat. The word came to McGoth's mind, and he immediately thought that even though he knew that he would be in danger there, he did not hesitate to go to the rescue of him, and he really didn't know how to thank him.

Nick. Mailer patted McGoss,

"Don't worry, I wouldn't be there without all certainty."

"Continuing with what I just said, the interesting thing is that when magical creatures absorb the Philosopher's Stone, they will no longer arouse the covetousness of other magical creatures, this is the difference between people and magical creatures."

"What about the Dark Wizard?" This is not to be worried about McGoss, knowing that Voldemort is extremely covetous of the Philosopher's Stone, and if he knew that Viadandy had absorbed the Philosopher's Stone, he would inevitably make crazy moves.

"Wizards can only use the Philosopher's Stone, not the people or creatures that have been assimilated by the Philosopher's Stone."

Seeing Magos's relieved look, Nick. Mailer continued with a smile.

"The Philosopher's Stone has always been a supreme treasure in the wizarding world, but they don't know the price it costs. That price is not the trivial issue I just mentioned. ”

"After receiving the immortality granted by the Philosopher's Stone, the magic will replace our original life, but it will not slow down the aging of our bodies. And since the Philosopher's Stone guarantees that there will never be a shortage of mana, wizards who use the Philosopher's Stone will not be able to help but use magic uncontrollably, and when they reach that they will be horrified to find that every time they consume a certain amount of mana, they will age one point irreversibly.

So the end result is that everyone else thinks you're dead except that you know you're alive. ”

This ending made McGoth shudder involuntarily, but he still couldn't help but wonder.

"Mr. Mailer, but I have not heard of wizards who use the Philosopher's Stone die of old age."

"But there are those who have been killed or taken captive by powerful dark magic creatures, haven't they?"

A simple rhetorical question sent chills down the body of Mygos who heard it, indeed, the limited number of wizards who used the Philosopher's Stone were unfortunately killed in their later years, and the only one known to use the Philosopher's Stone was the famous alchemist Nick behind him. Mailer too.

"Why are you telling me this?" After a long silence, McGoth didn't think that these side effects were widely known, at least not in the Hogwarts library. Although he doesn't know if this kind of news will bother him after it leaks.

"It's not a secret, on the contrary, I even hope that all wizards will know the cost of using the Philosopher's Stone, as for why they told you."

"Don't forget, you're also using the Philosopher's Stone indirectly."

These words hit Magos like a thunderbolt on the head of a sunny day, causing him to fail to control the broomstick properly, and it took him a moment to stabilize it.

"Don't panic, don't panic." Nick. Mailer continued with a smile.

"This little guy has a good digestion, and it completely suppresses the side effects of the Philosopher's Stone, but this is only temporary. The reason I'm telling you is that you need to look for magical items that it can absorb so that it can continue to be suppressed, otherwise if it fails to be suppressed, you will be just as 'immortal' in the future. ”

"And how long do you think it can be suppressed?" McGoth asked dryly, okay, now in addition to the side effects of the squib, there is also immortality, I don't know if it's a good or bad side effect. No, he woke up in horror, Nima is a squib, and his magic power is gone, doesn't that mean that he will die directly?
