Chapter 127: Trying to keep a low profile with soy sauce
Ever since he came here, Ethan has been studying the Mirror of Eris in front of him, and it's an interesting thing for him.
Ethan's strength has decreased compared to before because of the relationship between reshaping the divine body, but his knowledge of magic, especially his comprehension of various rules, has greatly improved.
In comparison, the magic used in the Mirror of Eris could not 'confuse' him at all, and he easily took out the Philosopher's Stone - this Magic Mirror uses virtual reality, illusions, psychic attacks (reading), etc., and there are also some regular magic, and after solving these 'puzzles' separately, the actual location of the Philosopher's Stone is no different from placing it directly in front of Ethan.
Because of the particularity of the 'location' of the Magic Mirror of Eris to store the Philosopher's Stone, the distance between the two sides is meaningless at all, Ethan took it out directly after figuring out everything, even if he was far away from the Magic Mirror, and he was not even really 'looking in the mirror'.
Overall, Ethan's removal of the Philosopher's Stone from the Magic Mirror was a very profound magical operation, but only Skaha could see something, and the rest were all confused, including Voldemort, who did not understand how Ethan did it.
In everyone's eyes, Ethan just had shit luck, even Voldemort thought so, he didn't take Ethan seriously at all.
What can a little kid do?
"Hand over the Philosopher's Stone!"
Quirrell was reminded by his master, realizing that the Philosopher's Stone, which he had not been able to find, was in front of him, and seeing that hope lay ahead, he could no longer suppress his eagerness, and his originally honest face became extremely distorted, and he roared and rushed towards Ethan in front of him.
Seeing Quirrell rushing over, Ethan didn't even give him a straight look, but gently pushed Harry Potter beside him, staggering Harry forward, and then unconsciously reached out to grab something...... So he happened to catch Professor Quirrell who pounced.
What happened next was no surprise, as Harry Potter had his mother's guardian magic on him, so Quirrell was attacked by this guardian magic when he touched Harry.
This guardian magic was originally aimed at Voldemort, but since Voldemort is now possessed by Quirrell, it doesn't make a difference at this time, and Quirrell was hit hard when he touched Harry Potter.
When he realized that his touch could actually destroy the big bad, Harry Potter very unceremoniously pressed his hand directly on the face of the painful Quirrell, and then Quirrell was petrified and turned into ashes under the gaze of everyone.
The untold Ron and Hermione thought that Harry Potter had some special talent, or some powerful spell that turned a terrible evil villain into ashes, which was just pretty cool.
The two of them approached and kept looking at Harry Potter, asking a lot of questions that Harry couldn't answer.
"It's not over yet!"
Ethan's voice of reminder sounded at the right time, even if he didn't raise his head from beginning to end, but when the Gryffindor trio looked up at Ethan, they happened to see Malfoy next to Ethan with a frightened expression, and was looking behind him and the others.
Barely on a second thought, a few people realized that something had happened behind them, and that the only one who existed in that direction was Quirrell, who had turned to ashes.
Turning around, a cloud of black smoke rose from Quirrell's body and slowly coalesced into a vague human form, his distorted face staring at Harry Potter viciously, and the eyes revealed a deep hatred, which made the three children feel excited.
The smoke condensed into a human form and roared towards Harry Potter, and Harry Potter, who was frightened, didn't dodge at all, and was about to be hit by the smoke.
At this moment, Harry suddenly felt someone tug on him, and the whole person suddenly fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.
Although he was dizzy and sore from the fall, he just managed to avoid the terrible smoke.
The smoke-formed face finally glanced at Harry who had fallen to the ground with hatred, he thought that Harry was just lucky to fall and just dodge, and then no longer stay and run away - not having a body is a very bad thing for Voldemort, he needs to find a place as soon as possible, or a new body.
Ethan, who had been playing with the Philosopher's Stone, had just hooked his fingers lightly, and Harry Potter's fall was actually caused by him.
"That's ...... It didn't have any effect on the plot, did it?"
He has been as low-key as possible, and he has already given face to the villain who has to appear several times without meeting him - of course, Voldemort has made a lot of Horcruxes, and he can be resurrected if he doesn't destroy all the Horcruxes, so it's troublesome to kill this guy, and Ethan is too lazy to bother.
Now that he can't solve the other party at once, and it is easy to attract hatred, Ethan thinks it is better to let him keep going to Harry Potter, the chosen one, and continue to study the stone.
"When do you want to see? Do you want to live forever?"
Voldemort fled, Ron and Hermione also came to their senses at this time, pulled Harry up who had fallen to the ground, and several people asked each other about the situation, and found that everyone was safe and sound.
Harry was looking at the Philosopher's Stone in Ethan's hand, he now knew that Voldemort wanted it, and it seemed to be important.
He wanted to say something, but he and Ethan were not familiar with each other, the other party was Slytherin, and Malfoy was an accomplice (Ethan:?), and the other party would definitely not want to hand over the Philosopher's Stone if he opened his mouth, right?
Harry and Ron looked at each other, Ron had similar thoughts, and both found it a bit difficult to do.
Only Hermione is not polite, she and Ethan are somewhat friendly, and because of Ethan's relationship, her opinion of Slytherin is far less than in the original plot - mainly because Malfoy has not offended Hermione to death now, and has not called her a Mudblood (a serious insult to the slur of a Muggle-born wizard).
Considering Ethan's existence, I'm afraid Malfoy shouldn't have insulted Hermione with the name of Mudblood anymore, unless he wants to be beaten into a pig's head by Ethan, because Ethan's background here is also a Mudblood according to purebloods.
"I'm just going to see what the hell is amazing about this thing, as for immortality......"
Ethan smiled, the most attractive thing about this philosopher's stone was the second element to him, he wanted to see how much energy it contained.
After watching it for a long time, he had already figured out the general situation of this magic stone.
To put it simply, there is a lot of magic in this stone, and it contains magical rules.
That's all.
For Ethan, this thing is a bit of a chicken rib - its biggest function, Ethan doesn't need it, and Ethan wants a huge amount of magic...... The mana reserves of this thing obviously don't meet Ethan's needs.
"And you want gold?"
"If you want this, just say it. ”
Hermione righteously stated that she didn't want this Philosopher's Stone, but that it was very important, and that in this case, the Philosopher's Stone could no longer be stored here, and needed to be handed over to Professor Dumbledore to relocate.
"Oh. ”
"Oh!?" Hermione didn't understand what the reaction was, was it approval or disapproval?, "I think it would be better to leave it to Dumbledore now." ”
"Yes, Hermione was right. Ron interjected at the right time, obviously reminding Ethan not to try to take the Philosopher's Stone for himself.
Ethan smiled, the reason why he didn't answer was not because he didn't think about whether to hand it over or not, but because he took advantage of this effort to extract some of the magic power from the Philosopher's Stone.
The mana stored in it did not bring any obvious help to his physical development, but he still remembered that he had to collect all kinds of 'energy' in order to make his spiritual universe more 'all-encompassing'.
He was in such a hurry to extract his magic here because he noticed that Dumbledore was here, but he was hiding in the shadows and hadn't yet appeared—the old man seemed to want to take the opportunity to observe the children?
Dumbledore would never have imagined that such beings as Ethan and Skaha would be mixed in, and his whereabouts would have been exposed.
Now that he's happy with Harry Potter's upbringing, Hermione is also a great kid with a sense of justice, and Ron Weasley has shown his potential, and the two of them will be good friends with Harry.
He already had an accurate evaluation of these three people in his heart, and even Rin Tosaka, who was often with Hermione, had his own judgment.
However, Ethan and Skaha made him a little confused, so he never showed up, wanting to see if Ethan could stand the test in the face of a treasure like the Philosopher's Stone.
Based on Ethan's previous performance, the Slytherin honor student is heading in the direction he least wants, and he doesn't seem to want to give up the Philosopher's Stone.
But in the next second, something surprised him happened, Ethan didn't care and threw the philosopher's stone to Hermione in front of him, as if it was just an ordinary stone that he picked up casually on the side of the road.
"Since you care so much about this thing, I'll leave it to you. ”
It didn't look like his expression was deliberately faked - Dumbledore didn't think that such a big child had such excellent acting skills.
Hermione hurriedly caught the Philosopher's Stone that had suddenly been thrown at her, and waited until the Philosopher's Stone was firmly in her hand before letting out a sigh.
"It's a philosopher's stone, and you just threw it here?"
"Just a stone. ”
Ethan shook his head, wondering if he should go back to sleep while Dumbledore didn't show up?
It's a pity that Dumbledore didn't give him this opportunity at all, revealing his body and appearing in front of several children.
