Brandi timidly looked at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, feeling like he was holding a bomb that would teach him how to be a human at any moment.

Anyone who sees that scene will be intimidated...... And this thing really ate Quirrell's corpse whole! Dumbledore's good friend should at least be a white wizard with three views and integrity, but where can the effect of the Philosopher's Stone be done by a white wizard......

He even wondered if Dumbledore had been deceived by Nicolame. But Dumbledore obviously has such a powerful mind-reading skill, how can he not notice it?

Or is it ...... It was the Mirror of Eris itself that was deceiving itself......

He was a little undecided, and Dumbledore had made it clear to him that if he wanted to repair his wand, he had to use this strange stone. He couldn't afford to give up his last chance for nothing.

After thinking about it, Brandi decided to follow what Dumbledore said first, and take it one step at a time.

"So, what should we do with the Philosopher's Stone......" he whispered to himself. Chalcedony, well, yes. ”

Carefully placing the Philosopher's Stone at the head of the bed, Brandi took the crumpled Sorting Hat and placed it on his head.

(eh...... Mr. Sorting Hat? ）

“………… Shh ”

He heard the Sorting Hat snort in disdain, and twisted the hat on his head, as if the Sorting Hat looked disgusted and didn't want to talk to him. How could he not know what the broken hat was thinking...... It's obviously because I don't have time to play with him!

What a hat, how can you still be more serious about this kind of thing?

(Hi ~ Big Brother Hat, Uncle Hat ~ You are a hat with status, where do I dare to disturb you casually...... So Brandi, hoping that his thoughts would not be seen through by the Sorting Hat, decisively changed to a dog-legged expression, and slapped the horse's ass. It's too bad to deal with an innocent hat that is not deeply involved in the world, but I have to say that the effect is really good, at least the refreshing sorting hat that was photographed finally intends to deal with him.

"Come on, let's talk, what's the matter with me this time?"

Brandi grinned, and hurriedly told him what had happened to his wand and what Dumbledore had said to him.

"Philosopher's Stone?" The Sorting Hat's voice was tinged with confusion. "Well, we don't seem to have heard of any philosopher's stones in our time...... This is probably the thing that Nicol Lemet himself made as you said in the later generations, this is really amazing, I originally thought that alchemy had already declined with ancient magic, and I didn't expect anyone to make such a magical item. ”

(Huh?) Don't you know...... Brandi was deflated.

"I'm just a hat, can I know five hundred years in advance and five hundred years later?" The Sorting Hat scoffed. "But Dumbledore asked you to use it to repair the chalcedony wand, but he also has a reason, since this magic stone can be turned into gold and can be used to prolong life, then it must have incomparably powerful magic and vitality, which may be exactly what your wand urgently needs now."

It was silent for a long time, seemingly content with the pleasure of hanging Brandy's appetite, until he urged it urgently. "I told you before that your wand core is made of an extremely powerful magical material, which was a rarity even in our time, and was only occasionally seen by the mysterious Oriental Traveler - though I didn't seem to tell you that chalcedony was first used by Eastern wizards as a sealing medium......"

(Sealing medium, but what does this have to do with the current state of my wand...... Brandi was confused.

“…… Haven't you ever wondered why a critter popped up in your wand that no one knows? ”

Brandi glared, and he lifted the hey in his arms and placed it on his lap. (You mean to say-)

"Pretty much...... That's what I guessed. This chalcedony has been used by a powerful Eastern wizard to seal a magical creature since ancient times...... But then somehow it ended up in the hands of the wand maker, and the current wand maker didn't recognize what it was for, so he casually made a wand. ”

The Sorting Hat sighed.

"It's a pity that an ancient magical creature was inadvertently made into a wand's guardian spirit in the weakest of circumstances."

Hey was still motionless, and if it was an illusion, Brandi felt that its fur seemed to be a little darker than before.

"You mean, hey is my guardian spirit? What is a guardian spirit......

"Do you still have to ask? Guardian wand and wand owner's spirit ...... Of course, your guardian spirit is too young to be of much use, you see that it has lost your magic power and the nourishment of the vitality of the chalcedony itself, and is gradually weakening - it may be that when the wand is broken, the chalcedony is also destroyed, and the vitality and magic accumulated in the chalcedony are gone, which is the foundation of the guardian spirit's survival...... It has been hit hard by this. That's why your wand hasn't fully repaired, and until it recovers, your wand will be no different from a normal stick......"

"So I need to use the Philosopher's Stone to restore the energy in the chalcedony?"

"That's probably what it means...... But I can't figure out exactly how to use the stone you mentioned. Maybe you can try to take it in your hand and draw power with your mind......"

Brandi's face turned a little ugly. The first thing that jumped out of his head was Quirrell's blood-red arm, and he directly carried the power of the Philosopher's Stone with his body...... Will you be like that?

"Huh...... Can you share it with me next time you think about it, you know I can't see your thoughts, Brandi. The Sorting Hat hummed disapprovingly to him.

This showed Brandi a clear path, could the Sorting Hat be able to analyze whether the stone would be harmful?

He was about to share what he had seen in front of the magic mirror with the hat when his unfocused eyes suddenly and inadvertently noticed movement in the room.

Huh? Hey?

Brandi stared blankly at his legs, which were empty...... But hey doesn't usually move on its own unless it finds something it can eat! But where can there be ............ in your own bedroom?

Oh my God!

Brandi's eyes widened in horror, and he quickly turned his head to look at the head of the bed.

"Hey! No! ”

Hey, who was on the head of the bed, closed his eyes, and pulled the shiny stone with his front paws in front of his nose, and heard Brandi calling it, it screamed softly, and then tried to open its mouth - "Ahhhh ”

Brandi's heart suddenly cooled.

It's over, what can I do now...... Hey after the bottle of awakening potion, he ate the Philosopher's Stone again!

"Don't be nervous, Brandy, look at it......" Just as Brandi was frightened by this scene, the Sorting Hat suddenly said loudly. Brandi hurriedly looked over.

It seems to have seen a familiar scene...... Brandi felt a hint of familiarity. Suddenly, a torrent of magic burst out of Hexi's stomach, dazzling like a blood-red sun, and even Hexi's golden body was completely enveloped in that magical power.

At this moment, the outer side of his thigh also became hot, and Brandi hurriedly pulled out the contents of it.

That's his wand...... As Hexi continued to absorb the power of the Philosopher's Stone, his wand began to change, and the original black wand body now climbed like a vine, emitting a red pattern. The blood flickered as if it were a wand breathing...... There was a faint burst of chilling chuckles in the room.

(min...... Sorting Hat, does this look normal? ）

Brandi asked, horrified. The color of the same color as the blood is ominous...... He was very worried about whether his wand would turn into an evil dark magic object.

The Sorting Hat was very calm, "It should be considered normal, after all, magic is a simple thing, there is no distinction between good and evil, only depends on the person who uses it...... I guess that's what Dumbledore had in mind, and he probably knew that your wand could eat the Philosopher's Stone - but you might have to worry about your Guardian, the power in this Philosopher's Stone is a bit more than you might think - it probably had indigestion. ”

（………… ）

After about half an hour, the blood-colored mana at the head of the bed finally began to fade, and finally disappeared completely in Hexi's stomach. The moment the blood disappeared, Brandi hurriedly held Heyi in his arms and looked it up and down, it didn't seem to have changed significantly, except that its stomach became a little swollen - it did look like it was overwhelmed.

Hey breathed a sigh of relief in his arms, then floated up contentedly, and plunged headlong into his wand, where no unicorn was competing for its place—the wand glowed with a dazzling golden light. Then, Hey disappeared along with the pattern on the wand.

(That's it?) Brandi asked blankly, after a long pause in bed.

"So what else do you want to see...... The vulgar episode where the guardian spirit turns black and turns into an evil spirit? "It's the same as when you eat, have you ever seen a man eat a fish with two gills...... Don't scare yourself, it's just a normal mantra. Of course, as it stands... There are still some minor problems... Dumbledore may have really underestimated the Philosopher's Stone, which seemed to have formed a simple consciousness. ”

Really! The scene I saw in the Mirror of Eris is real!

Brandi's face was crawling with fear.

(What would happen?) Hey, nothing will happen! ）

The Sorting Hat groaned for a moment—

"Well, there shouldn't be any problem with the Guardian Spirit...... But I reckon your wand core will be affected a bit, and that consciousness may have eroded your wand core to some extent - it doesn't affect the use, it's just ...... Don't be too surprised if your wand has any strange effects and functions in the future. ”
