Chapter 124: The Philosopher's Stone
Illya's situation, Ethan only noticed it recently.
Perhaps due to the established impression, Ethan completely didn't realize that Illya's body had not changed - originally Illya would not continue to grow because of her physique, but because of the transformation of her physique caused by the distortion of the rules, now her body is the same as a normal person.
As a normal human being, of course, her body will not continue to stay in the teenage stage, but continue to grow up—as it should be.
But the reality is that Illya's body has barely grown.
I say almost, because Illya's body is still a little changed, not as if time has completely stopped like Ethan.
However, this change is very small, although Illya's body can grow like a normal person, but the growth rate is very slow.
"Her situation...... Let's take a look. ”
Ethan didn't think about it, should he let Illya be like himself, create a superficial image of normal growth, or just maintain it like this?
Anyway, in reality, it is not that there are no people who stop developing early.
"I thought you really didn't have a preference for that, but now I'm starting to doubt it again. ”
“......”
Ethan was speechless, why did he always think in that direction?
The two of them were chatting for a long time, and Professor McGonagall had already arranged for Harry and several people, and Filch, as the administrator, took a few children to the close punishment.
"In the past, we would tie the thumbs of students who made mistakes and put them in the dungeon, and those screams sounded really pleasant...... It's a pity that you can't do that now, you guys are really lucky. ”
Filch's words made Harry and the others not know what to say, should they be glad that they had escaped the terrible punishment, or should they feel disgusted and frightened by Filch?
Thankfully, they didn't have to dwell on it for too long, as Filch quickly handed them over to Hagrid.
"Your punishment is to patrol the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid...... It just so happened that he needed some help. ”
With that, Filch left, and Hagrid prepared the tools he needed, such as a lantern, and motioned for a few students to follow.
Looking at this scene, Ethan suddenly remembered that this should be the scene where Harry Potter and Voldemort were confronted for the first time.
Of course, he didn't have any interest in Voldemort and Harry Potter, he suddenly remembered that Voldemort had been attacking unicorns in the Forbidden Forest all this time, in order to suck the unicorn's blood to maintain life, and Ethan's focus was on unicorns.
He had collected samples of many creatures in the world of the cabin, including unicorns, in order to recreate them and make them pop on his island.
What is the difference between the unicorn in the cabin in the woods and the unicorn in the Harry Potter world?
There should not be much difference in appearance, and they are basically white horses with horns on their heads.
However, there should be some differences in mystical attributes.
The unicorns of the cabin world in the woods are very different: they have a silvery viscous blood like mercury, and the blood of the unicorn has a powerful magical power that can sustain life, and drinking the blood of the unicorn can make people escape the shadow of death.
However, those who rely on unicorns to sustain their lives are also cursed, and it is said that life is worse than death.
For Ethan now, whether this curse can really threaten him is not to be discussed, he does not want to miss the opportunity to have ready-made samples to collect.
"Let's go, go to the Forbidden Forest!"
Ethan reached out and gently touched Skaha's body, and without asking Skaha's opinion, he directly launched the teleportation.
There is an enchantment within Hogwarts House that prohibits teleportation, but for Ethan, who comes from another world and has mastered another magic system, the effect of this enchantment is equal to nothing, and even the alarm will not be triggered, even if he is in Hogwarts, Ethan can still go wherever he wants.
It didn't work before, but I just don't need it.
The two men left the rooftops of Hogwarts and went to the Forbidden Forest, far behind Hagrid - Ethan didn't have much trouble finding a sample of the unicorn, and they could soon see a puddle of unicorn blood after Hagrid.
All it took was a little sample, but when Ethan took the sample and stood up, he found that Skaha was gone.
"Crazy girl!"
He guessed that Skaha had gone to see the excitement, because Malfoy's cry had already been heard, and it seemed that Harry had already bumped into Voldemort.
Turning his head, Ethan walked very simply outside the Forbidden Forest.
If he said that he would not participate, he would resolutely not participate, and Skaha thought that he would be able to lead himself there?
As Ethan walked through the Forbidden Forest, footsteps were heard behind him, followed by a small hand slapping heavily on his waist.
"You actually walked out directly, are you relieved that a little girl like me is running around in such a terrifying forest with many monsters?"
“......”
Ethan looked at Skaha with a look of tease, and it was still eerie and there were a lot of monsters...... Those monsters aren't enough for you to kill, right?
Even if Voldemort is added, it is nothing more than an extra stab, why should Ethan worry about the safety of such a powerful demigod?
"Did you see Voldemort?"
"Voldemort? is that weird man in black robes?"
"That's a very famous bad guy in the world. ”
The Demon King or something, in the eyes of Ethan and Skaha, he is not qualified, that is, a villain with a more extreme personality and ideas.
"At this level?"
Skaha pursed her lips, thinking that she would be able to be a strong existence as a villain, but she didn't expect that there was only this level, which made her very disappointed.
"Are you really just here to learn magic?"
"Or do you think I'm here for something?"
"Challenging the strong?"
Skaha thought that Ethan's powerful strength was obtained after hard study and cultivation, and constantly challenged the strong to break through the limit.
Ethan, in particular, has the ability to travel freely through countless universes, and naturally has the advantage of never worrying about not having a suitable opponent.
Skaha stuck to it vigorously, partly because she felt that if she followed Ethan, she wouldn't have to worry about not having an excellent and powerful opponent to challenge in the future.
I didn't expect that the real first time I went to Arthur in another world was not counted, and the possible opponents made her not interested in challenging at all.
"I'm not interested in challenging the strong. ”
Ethan doesn't have the kind of experience of challenging the strong and then breaking his own limits, because he always stays in a safe place to quietly cultivate and make medicines to improve his strength, and he rarely goes to that kind of very dangerous world - if he wants to do something risky, he will make all kinds of preparations in advance.
Don't look at Ethan's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and he seems to be doing things more and more waves, but the habits in his bones will not change, such as some worlds where there are powerful gods or inexplicable rules that he doesn't know how to deal with, he won't touch it.
From this point of view, there is a big difference between his and Skaha's three views.
"If it were me back then, I would definitely think that it is not funny that a person like you has such great power. ”
"Back then?" Ethan glanced at Skaha next to her, she was calm, her habits and thoughts didn't seem to make her feel uncomfortable, "Now your mind has changed?"
"No!" Skaha smiled widely, "I just think everyone has their own ideas, and there's no need for the other person to have to live my way." ”
Skaha is not an inexperienced little girl, the long years have made her see a lot of things, and getting older will also cause a change in mentality - something she will never admit.
What's more, in Skaha's cognition, the strong have the qualifications to be willful: Ethan is strong enough, so he can do whatever he wants!
If Ethan can't beat Skaha, then it's definitely a different attitude: not strong enough and want to waste casually? Don't work hard? If she cares about you, beat you to a dog's head in minutes! If you don't get beaten as a dog's head, it only proves that Skaha doesn't take you seriously from the bottom of his heart.
"Something should happen next, right?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Why don't you join in the fun?"
"What's there to make a fuss about, just do your own thing, how's your rune magic studying?"
Skaha raised his head, and his two ponytails shook with his footsteps.
"I've restored most of the rune magic, and I've recovered most of my magical strength. ”
The so-called restoration means that after getting rid of the roots, the spells can still be used normally, and what Skaha pursues is to use them in any world, even if there is no magic in that world, or even if magic is forbidden from the basic rules, it will not prevent her from unleashing these spells.
"I'm still trying to absorb the magic of the Shadow Country...... The only thing that bothered me was that as my magic grows, the effects of the potions I use are rapidly disappearing, and I will return to my original appearance very soon. ”
"It's okay, girls are already older than boys, so it's a big deal that you use illusions to cover up. ”
When he said this, Ethan's tone revealed a little envy.
He wants to use illusion to disguise what he looks like he has grown, but Skaha is the polar opposite of himself.
"I really want to change it!"
As he was about to return to the castle, Ethan suddenly struck at his feet.
"Speaking of which, should I go and see the Philosopher's Stone, this thing contains magical powers, maybe it will help me in my current situation?"
Ethan touched his chin and fell into deep thought, when it came to the things he was most entangled with now, what was resolutely not to make trouble, far away from the plot, etc., all of which had been forgotten in the corner. ...
