"You bought a cat?"

Hermione stared at the suddenly extra cage in Zuo Si's hand with some surprise, and the very weird-looking and cute Crook Mountain in the cage.

"Hmm. It suddenly occurred to me that having a cat also seemed like a good idea. You know, I bought a house during the holidays and I just needed a dry cat to catch mice."

With that, Zuo Si handed the cat cage to the house-elf who always followed behind him and remained invisible.

North hurriedly appeared, took three steps and two steps to the front, took the cage and carried it in his hand.

"It's ...... House-elves?" There was a hint of curiosity in Hermione's eyes.

Because although she had read about this interesting magical creature in books, she had never seen it with her own eyes.

Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right. There were just two house-elves in the house I bought, and after some persuasion, they agreed to stay in the house and work for me. This one is called North, and the other one is called Calvi."

"Hello, North."

Hermione tried to greet the emaciated humanoid creature in front of her, with big bat-sized ears.

"Hello, Miss Granger. If you need anything, I'll be happy to help."

North, dressed in a black gown, bowed gracefully.

After all, Zuo Si would not allow his servant to wear only a dirty, shabby pillowcase like Dobby of the Malfoy family, but instead made a series of house-elf clothes, shoes, socks, and hats custom-made.

Because of this outfit, the two house-elves under his command would occasionally be mistaken for Gringotts goblins by people with bad eyes when they were out running errands.

"Ugh...... Thanks, not for now." Hermione politely and politely declined.

"Well, I hope I can serve you next time."

North was a little disappointed that he didn't get a job or a task, but he quickly snapped his fingers and disappeared with his cage in hand.

"Phantom Shifter?"

Looking at the house-elf who suddenly disappeared from front of her eyes, Hermione immediately asked in a tone that was not very sure.

Zuo Si smiled and replied, "Yes and no. House-elves are born with magical abilities, and the way they cast spells is also very different from that of wizards.

According to historical records, in ancient times, house-elves fought a terrible war with wizards.

As a result, they were defeated, and the entire tribe was almost slaughtered, with only a few obedient slaves remaining.

And these descendants have been enslaved, transformed, and manually intervened for thousands of years, and finally continued to become house-elves in modern times.

These magical creatures have slowly and thoroughly domesticated over the long years, and they take pride in their allegiance to their family work and are ashamed of their freedom and laziness."

"So they're slaves? Slaves living in modern society!"

Hermione's voice suddenly rose a lot, and her eyes revealed shock and disbelief.

"That's right. Even the kind of slave who willingly castrates himself ideologically.

Also, do you think that there are no slaves in modern human society?

If you look at Africa, if you look at South America, if you look at the poor and volatile countries and regions of Southeast Asia, slavery is still a widespread phenomenon.

A large part of this poverty, backwardness, and unrest was caused by centuries of colonization, enslavement, and plundering by Europeans.

As an empire on which the sun never sets, Britain once had the largest number of colonies in the world, and the crimes committed by Britain are even more innumerable.

The stolen and looted treasures in the British Museum are the best proof of this.

Interestingly, however, most Britons see it not as a disgrace but as an honor, still enjoying the dividends of colonial plunder and reminiscing about the power and glory of the empire on which the sun never sets.

In comparison, this little house-elf in the wizarding world is nothing at all.

So the world is far from being as beautiful as you think, but Mr. and Mrs. Granger protected you and didn't let you see the dark side."

Zuo Si stared into the girl's eyes and revealed some cruel truths.

Moment!

Hermione, who was still angry about what happened to the house-elves a second ago, suddenly fell silent as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

If it were someone else, they might refute it by stealing concepts, quibbles, etc.

But she is not an ordinary student who has only received an education in colonial history, but a genius who loves to read and like to get to the bottom of everything.

When she was in elementary school, Hermione had secretly read some real history books, and understood how cruel and bloody the so-called "Age of Discovery" was mentioned in textbooks.

In the early days of the modern Industrial Revolution, children and orphans in London were used as consumables in factories to work day and night until they were exhausted to death.

Compared to the Muggle world, wizards were significantly milder in their oppression and enslavement of house-elves.

What's more, house-elves have long been completely domesticated, and they do not have a sense of freedom and resistance, but enjoy themselves.

Thinking of this, Hermione suddenly found that she was not as angry as before, raised her head and said in a slightly helpless tone, "Okay, maybe you're right, it's me who is too sensitive."

"No, it's not sensitivity, it's a lack of experience and insight. But it doesn't matter, as time goes on and as we get older, we all slowly abandon our naivety and become more mature. When you look back at yourself as a child five or ten years from now, you can't imagine that you will be as amusing as you were at that time, as if you had just heard Mrs. Granger talk about how she reacted when she was three or four years old."

Zuo Si said as he reached out to help the girl brush her windswept hair.

"Damn! Don't mention that, okay?"

Hermione's face flushed slightly, and she didn't know if she was still embarrassed by those childhood anecdotes, or if she was a little shy because of the overly intimate movements between the two.

She didn't realize that her consciousness, cognition, and thoughts had been unconsciously changed in her interactions and conversations with Zuo Si.

In particular, the rate of mental maturity is much faster than that of peers.

And this kind of maturity will lead her to feel that the other student is very naïve when she looks at them, and has no common language at all, and eventually becomes more cherished and dependent on the relationship with Zuo Si, and then is more influenced by the latter, and even assimilated to a certain extent in thought.

There is no doubt that this is a practical application of modern psychology to human relationships.

It may not have much effect on adults whose three views are almost fixed, but it is decisive for boys and girls who are in adolescence between the ages of 12 and 15.

This is a time known as puberty, when hormones are secreted in large quantities, the nerves in the brain are being pruned and reshaped, and the personality becomes rebellious, impulsive, and unpredictable.

Many parents will have a headache about how to guide and educate during this time, and some parents will even have the illusion that their children are learning badly.

As everyone knows, all this is a process that the human species must go through physiologically.

In the same way, this is also the best time to exert influence and reshape a person's character.

A responsible teacher or parent can help him or her to shape a correct outlook on life and values, and eventually become a "good person" or a "useful person to society" in the ordinary sense.

But if you meet someone with bad intentions, you may go down the road of crime.

Of course, Zuo Si didn't want Hermione to be completely blackened, but just molded her values closer to herself.

In this way, in the midst of a casual chatter, the girl quickly forgot about the house-elves.

When the two of them came to the door of the bookstore, they happened to see a huge banner that read in English:

lucky

Dro Lockhart

Autobiographies are signed for sale

"I Can Magic"

12:30-4:30 p.m. today

"Gilderoy Lockhart? He seems to be our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher this semester. I've read about him in Wizarding Weekly, and he's supposed to be a great wizard, and I'm going to buy a lot of books about him this semester." Hermione said, pulling out a list of books from the Hogwarts owl.

However, unlike the obvious adoration in the original book, she was only a little surprised because she had already seen Zuo Si's almost perverted memory and the speed at which she learned to master magic spells in her first grade.

After all, anyone who is not a fool knows that the adventures of Gilderoy Lockhart are nothing compared to achievements such as the invention of the magic scroll and the creation of the world's second philosopher's stone.

"It seems that our Professor Lockhart is very popular with middle-aged and older women." Zuo Si curled the corners of his mouth and teased in a slightly playful tone.

Because at this moment there was already a long queue at the door of the bookstore, most of them witches of Mrs. Wesley's age.

An exhausted clerk struggles to maintain order, but with little success.

No way!

As soon as they heard that Gilderoy Lockhart himself signed the book, these witches were as excited and excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Obviously, through some marketing methods and self-packaging, Gilderoy Lockhart has successfully built himself into a public lover, and his essence is no different from the idol star of capital packaging.

Especially those housewives who stay at home all day with nothing to do but crave excitement probably fantasize in their hearts about having a romantic encounter with this handsome wizard.

"You seem to be very unimpressed with this new professor?"

The two had been together for almost a year, so Hermione could immediately hear the irony in Zuo Si's tone.

Zuo Si smiled and replied, "Believe me, when you really get to know Gilderoy Lockhart as a person, you will understand how unbearable the true side of that great fame is. Let's go, let's hurry up and buy the necessary textbooks on the book list and leave this place of right and wrong. Oh, by the way, remember that you don't have to buy all the books about Gilderoy Lockhart, because you won't need them at all."

"Won't you need it? But it's clearly written on the book list. Hogwarts probably won't let students buy useless books." The girl stared at the list of books and fell into a tangle.

"Don't think of a school of witchcraft and wizardry as a school in the Muggle world that has a well-established education system.

In fact, the textbooks we use in school are all assigned by the professors in charge, and there is no uniform standard.

The textbooks used in different schools of magic and magic in Europe often vary greatly.

So my guess is that the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor is taking advantage of his position to get Hogwarts students to buy his own books and make more money and fame."

Zuo Si did not hide it, and directly exposed Gilderoy Lockhart's careful thoughts.

"What? He...... How could he do that! I mean, how could Dumbledore find such a morally corrupt guy to be a professor?"

Hermione was visibly devastated, and even spoke incoherently.

But Zuo Si replied disapprenosingly, "Otherwise? As I told you before, Defence Against the Dark Arts is cursed, and any professor who takes this class will inevitably meet with misfortune. So for our principals, as long as there are still people willing to apply for this position, it is already quite lucky, and where could they ask for more."

With that, he pulled the girl away from the long line, and made a detour to the side and said to a clerk, "Give us a copy of all the books on this list except for Gilderoy Lockhart."

"Don't want Gilderoy Lockhart's book?" The young clerk was visibly stunned.

Because through the book list, he could already see that this was the textbook that Hogwarts asked students to buy for the new semester.

Generally speaking, these books cannot be selective, but must be fully prepared

Yes.

"That's right. While the stories in these books are wonderful and instructive, I hate it when this idiot adds a lot of disgusting boasting." Zuo Si expressed his attitude very clearly.

"Well, I don't really like Gilderoy Lockhart who steals the limelight wherever he goes. But I hope you don't regret it when you go to school."

The clerk muttered a word, and immediately turned around and picked through the shelves, quickly gathering the textbooks on the two sets of books.

The girl hurriedly took out a beaded bag, and when she wanted to pay for her share, she found that Zuo Si had paid the two of them neatly.

Just when she didn't know whether she should accept the kindness silently or insist on returning the money for the book to the other party, a noisy voice suddenly interrupted her thoughts.

I saw a gorgeously dressed man with an eight-toothed smile on his face slowly walking out of the crowd.

Moment!

The middle-aged and elderly witches present instantly let out a burst of cheers and screams.

The reporters of the Daily Prophet followed closely behind, trying to record these scenes and images with a magic camera and write them in tomorrow's paper.

You don't have to ask to know that this guy is Gilderoy Lockhart, a liar who uses the Oblivion Charm to the point of oblivion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your warm cheers. Rest assured, I can guarantee that anyone who is here today will get a copy of my signature."

Gilderoy Lockhart undoubtedly enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight, constantly waving to his rabid fans.

There is no doubt that Zuo Si does not like such occasions at all.

Because this irrational worship happens to reflect the most ignorant, stupid and easily influenced by public opinion and environmental factors.

Just as he was about to pull the girl away, he suddenly found that there was an adult woman in the crowd who exuded amazing charm all over her body, and she was waving at him with very subtle movements.

Hermione caught this instantly, and immediately asked in an unhappy tone, "Who's that?" Do you know any acquaintances?"

"Well, a friend I met during the holidays. I'm sorry, but I might be missing for a while."

With that, Zuo Si handed over the things he had bought to the girl, and he turned around and walked towards the location of the other party.

It didn't take long for the two sides to converge in a remote alley where no one was around.

In less than a second, a beautiful woman dressed as a British lady instantly transformed into a succubus with huge bat wings behind her, horns on her forehead, and feet in the shape of sheep's hooves.

She knelt down and held a slightly worn notebook in both hands: "Master, I have succeeded in turning that young wizard into my own captive as you commanded. Here's the time reversal spell you'd like to make, and the progress of his research in the Mysteries Division of the Ministry of Magic so far."

"Oh? So fast! You didn't get anyone's attention, did you?"

Zuo Si took it and quickly flipped through it, recording the contents into the thinking library in his mind as quickly as possible, and then returned the notes.

Because just by looking at the number on the front page and the imprint symbolizing the top secret information of the Ministry of Magic, you know that this thing was definitely smuggled out of the Department of Mysteries.

If someone discovers that something is missing, the Aurors will quickly dispatch and track down the magic sigil until they know what is missing and apprehend the thief.

The succubus shook his head smugly, "No. The internal management of the British Ministry of Magic is even looser and more chaotic than you might think. In addition, this human called Kirwin also has the corresponding permissions, so no one will find out for a while."

"Well done. Remember, keep a low profile, and you'd better get me to investigate all the time-related stuff and secrets in the entire Department of Mysteries." Zuo Si quickly gave further instructions.

"Understood."

The charm quickly reverted to her previous disguise, disappearing into the crowd with graceful steps.

Although she is nowhere near as good at being a spy as a shapeshifter, she has an innate advantage in luring men to fall.

Especially in a world where there is no knowledge of such demons, it is very easy for men to become captives of their beauty and sweet words.

As for Zuo Si himself, he stood in place and went through what he had just seen from beginning to end in his mind.

After about ten minutes, he realized why there was no record or information about the "Time Reversal Spell" in the *** section of the Hogwarts Library.

Unlike other spells, which produce specific results once cast, the effects of the Time Reversal Spell are unknown and unstable.

Or rather, it simply can't be understood by wizards.

Even the Department of Mysteries, which is at the forefront of research, can only barely control the length of time this spell recurs, and that's it.

The so-called time converter is the culmination of a series of complex and dangerous studies.

According to Professor Crocker, if you want to avoid serious damage to the time traveler and the timeline itself, it's best to keep it to five hours or less.

If this limit is exceeded, even the slightest change is likely to have unpredictable and serious consequences under the influence of the aftermath effect.

For example, the witch who came back from being trapped for five days and looking like she had aged for five centuries caused at least twenty-five people to disappear in reality because they were never born.

If it weren't for the witch's diary, which was recorded and mentioned in detail, no one else would have noticed.

This is why, starting in 1899, the Ministries of Magic of various countries have successively banned individuals from researching and experimenting with the "Time Reversal Spell".

There are even hundreds of laws in place specifically for this to ensure that there are no loopholes to drill.

The collections of time magic at Hogwarts and other long-established schools of witchcraft and wizardry have all been confiscated and stored in special institutions such as the Department of Mysteries.

"Interesting, it seems that the study of time in this world may not be much worse than that of Feren." Zuo Si touched his chin and muttered to himself.

As far as he knew, Faeron had a legendary magic called "Big Time Stop".

Unlike the nine-ring arcane magic, which pulls the caster into a super-fast flow of time, this spell literally brings time to a standstill.

In addition, there is also a very rare, rare and powerful time dragon in the multiverse, which has reached the challenge level of legend since it was born as a young dragon, and can travel to and from the future at will.

Of course, as one of the very few beings comparable to true gods, the Time Dragon rarely appears in front of mortals.

In short, the "Time Reversal Spell" successfully piqued Zuosi's interest in time-based magic and abilities.

Although he knew very well that with the knowledge and power he possessed so far, he was still far from understanding and mastering the complexities.

But that doesn't mean you can't transform the Time Reversal Spell and Time Turner into a force that can be used for yourself in battle.

After all, even a moment of stagnant time, a glimpse into the future, and a few seconds back in time, can create an unparalleled advantage against your enemies.

For a moment, Zuo Si even forgot about the great harm that sealing the Scroll of Divine Iniquity might bring, and thanked the thief from the future for allowing him to pay attention to the most valuable magic in this world.

If you master the power of time, what can you do if a newly-born god is released?

He can go back to the point in time when the other party was released at any time and reseal it.

Because in this world, no wizard can pose a real threat to him.

Just as he was completing the change of mentality and was about to turn back, he suddenly saw a violent commotion at the door of the bookstore of the Blotted Bookstore.

At first, I couldn't see it clearly because there were too many people, but with eating

The melon crowd quickly dispersed to both sides, and soon two middle-aged people who were scuffling together were revealed.

The Wesley twin brothers on the side were not afraid of the chaos when they saw the excitement, and they stood aside and cheered loudly: "Come on! Beat him up! Daddy!"

"Yes! Hit the eyes! Hammer his nose! That place hurts a bit!"

The young Ginny opened her mouth wide in surprise, and couldn't believe that her father, who always looked like a good old man with a smile on weekdays, could move his hands so fiercely and furiously, like an angry bear.

Molly, who is his wife, screamed, "Stop! Stop! Don't be like that Arthur!"

It has to be said that the rude brawl between Arthur Wesley and Lucius Malfoucher directly broke the stereotype of pure-blood wizards as arrogant as aristocrats among many Muggle students present.

They suddenly discovered that wizards were not just polite and waved their wands to release various spells, but were no different from their own parents, and when they were angry, they would also start their fists and beat each other hard.

In the end, thanks to the half-giant Hagrid, he forcibly stepped forward and forcibly separated the two by brute force.

In this brief amateur wrestling and boxing match, Arthur's lips were broken, and Lucius's eyes were swollen on the spot as if they had been hit by the corner of a book, barely making it a draw.

You don't need to ask to know that when they were in school, the open and secret battles between Gryffindor and Slytherin students made them very experienced in fighting and brawling, and they still haven't forgotten it even when they are middle-aged.

"Whoa! Take your book, little girl, it's the best thing your dad can give you."

Using the dilapidated Transfiguration class as a cover, Lucius shoved Voldemort's diary into the girl's hand, and then immediately broke free from Hagrid's hands and took his son and turned away.

Obviously, throwing this dangerous Horcrux at Ginny could accomplish many things for him.

One of them was to create chaos within Hogwarts and then find a way to remove Dumbledore from power.

Another point is that he can take the opportunity to take revenge on Arthur, the "pure-blood family scum" who is looking for trouble for himself all day long, so that he can have a good taste of what pain and despair are.

When the Malfoy father and son were completely far away, Zuo Si appeared unhurriedly, deliberately pretending to be puzzled and asked, "What happened just now?" I think I've heard people talk about fights."

"Hah! Soth! You've come just in time! Dad's performance today is simply amazing! He single-handedly pinned Malfoy's father, Lucius, to the ground and beat him violently. If it weren't for Hagrid, he would have been able to open the other man's face."

George began to introduce the specific process of the fight just now.

According to his exaggerated description, Lucius should have broken at least a dozen ribs, hemorrhaged internal organs, and burst his brain, and was sent to emergency rescue on a stretcher.

Mrs. Wesley, trembling with anger, whispered in her anger, "You're a good kid! Fight in public! What would Gilderoy Lockhart think?"

"Don't worry, Mom. He was so happy, and when we came out, I heard him asking the reporter of the Daily Prophet if he could write about the fight in the news, and it would definitely cause a sensation." Fred pursed his lips disdainfully.

You don't have to ask to know that the clever twins have already begun to perceive the essence of Gilderoy Lockhart.

"You shouldn't have paid attention to him, Arthur. Everyone knows what the Malfoys are. Let's go, let's go back to the Leaky Cauldron for a drink and forget about it completely." Hagrid said with a sigh of relief.

"I'm just not angry, why can a bastard like that still get away with it, and even get sheltered by a lot of bureaucrats at the Ministry of Magic?" Arthur grumbled indignantly.

While everyone else was paying attention to the impact of the fight, Zuo Si had already quietly come to Ginny's side, took out the transformation textbook he used last semester and asked with a smile, "Do you mind exchanging it?"

"Swap? Why?" The girl looked puzzled.

"It's nothing, it's just a hobby, I prefer to collect old books and stuff like that

West." Zuo Si casually made an excuse.

Obviously, replacing a worn-out book with a new one that is almost the same as it has never been touched is not a refusal for any child, and Ginny is no exception.

She didn't realize at all that it was in this exchange that she was out of a great danger and trouble.

After getting what he wanted, Zuo Si's mood immediately became very good, and he even took the initiative to greet the savior: "Long time no see, I heard that you had a bad holiday this time?"

"yes, that's terrible. Thankfully, Ron and the twins got me out, otherwise I would have been locked up in my bedroom hungry." Harry grinned wryly and complained.

If he could, he would never want to go back to that so-called "home".

Especially after learning the cause of death of my biological parents and the reason why I had to live in that "home".

"Next time, you can try to use some legal means." Zuo Si suggested meaningfully.

"Legal means?"

Harry blinked in confusion.

"That's right, legal means.

Under the UK's juvenile protection laws, whether it's a long prison sentence or not being allowed to eat, is a very serious offense.

Not to mention the verbal abuse, physical assault and emotional abuse that can also be involved.

So if you encounter a similar situation, you can take up the weapon of the law and directly choose to call the police as a threat.

And tell your aunt and husband that if convicted, they will face years in prison and a hefty fine.

In addition to this, intimidation can also be carried out by means such as asking for help from the media.

Because once this kind of thing is exposed, then your two relatives and their children will face strong condemnation from the whole society.

Their homes will be flooded with protesters, your uncle-in-law will lose his job, and the whole family will be in financial and public trouble.

So you have no reason to be afraid of them, but you should be afraid of them."

Zuo Si clearly showed Harry how to be anti-customer-oriented.

Perhaps it can be very difficult for ordinary children to rebel against adults, especially those with guardianship.

But for Harry Potter, who was already a wizard, it wasn't easy to get the Dursleys at hand.

Anyway, the protective magic that his mother left on him only required him to live with relatives who were related by blood.

As for feelings or something, it doesn't matter at all.

Goo Dong!

After hearing these words, both Ron and Harry himself subconsciously swallowed their spit.

For the first time, they realized that Zuo Si's horror was not only limited to his almost perverted memory and magical talents, but also his understanding and application of existing laws and rules.

Harry Potter struggled for a few seconds before responding, "If they dare to do this to me next time, I'll try your method." Thank you."

"You're welcome. A word of advice to you, the more you retreat and don't resist in the face of those who like to bully the weak and afraid of the hard, the more the other party will gain an inch. But if you start to be tough, then the other side will feel scared, hold back, and even lead to a reversal of status on both sides."

With that, Zuo Si immediately pulled Hermione out of the bookstore and disappeared into the crowd.

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, Harry couldn't help but sigh slightly, "Thoss is really powerful, isn't he?"

"Yes! He's just like an omniscient monster and doesn't look like our peers at all. Sometimes I even wonder if Dumbledore and the Mysteries were like that when they were in school?" A subtle hint of envy and jealousy flashed in Ron's eyes.

Especially when he saw Hermione holding Zuo Si's arm very intimately, he always felt as if he had suddenly lost something important.

After finishing the pre-school purchases, Zuo Si invited the Granger couple to be there

Diagon Alley had a hearty meal, then parted ways with the reluctant maiden and headed straight to Hogsmeade's Hogsmeade Village's Pig's Head Bar.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the boss Aberforth, and the Hogwarts professor sitting there drinking, as well as the Minister of Magic, Fudge, and some officials, as well as the greatest alchemist of our time, Nicol Lemay.

Fudge, in particular, immediately smiled and waved his hand, "Ah! The genius of British wizarding has finally arrived, come and sit down. We're still talking about the spells and inventions you made during the holidays."

"You've won the prize. How, did all my spells pass the test?"

Zoth stepped over to the bar and raised his hand to stop Aberforth from pouring himself butterbeer.

Fudge nodded slightly, "Almost, most of them passed the test. However, the current resistance is that some of these magic are too destructive, and although they are not black magic, they are also quite dangerous, and it is estimated that it will take some more time to get a result."

"How did you come up with that air hammer technique? It's just so easy to use! I'm willing to bet that even if I bless the Iron Armor Curse, I'm afraid I'll be out of breath." Charms professor Flitwick asked with interest.

From this attitude, it is not difficult to see that he has learned this spell in advance and tested it in actual combat.

"It's very simple, it's inspired by science.

In this regard, the Muggle world has long had practical applications.

They invented a device called an air aid or air cannon that compresses air and releases it at a rate of Mach 1.

In this way, those clogged pipes can be unblocked in an instant.

All I did was replace the technology part with magic and improve it a little bit."

Zuo Si gave a half-truthful answer.

"I see. I've found that there are places where the air hammer is more suitable than the Crushing Charm, and it will definitely become a spell that every wizard will need to master in the future, and don't use it in a lot of life."

Professor Flitwick made no secret of his love for the new spell, and gave the Air Hammer Charm a very high rating.

"Alright, you can talk to Soth alone about spells later when you have time. We're not here to say that."

Snape's somber expression interrupted Professor Flitwick's attempt to continue saying something, and instead turned his gaze to the left. "Did you bring that thing?"

"Of course, Professor."

Zuo Si slowly took out the philosopher's stone he had made with his own hands from his pocket and gently placed it on the table in front of countless pairs of eyes.

Let's go!

With the crisp sound of the wooden tabletop, everyone present, including the two Dumbledore, involuntarily became short of breath.

Obviously, they had already learned about the power of this second philosopher's stone through the letter sent by Zuo Si.

Among them, Nicol Lemay, who is an expert, took out a self-made magic magnifying glass for the first time, and attached it to the magic stone to carefully observe the extremely complex magic symbols and patterns on its surface, as well as the magic mercury flowing inside the gem.

It took more than ten minutes before he put down his magnifying glass and announced in a slightly trembling voice, "This is a veritable philosopher's stone, and it is even more advanced and powerful than the one I made."

"Does it really have the power to resurrect the dead?" Snape asked, narrowing his eyes.

At this moment, the hand hidden in the wide robe of this love saint has been drilled into a fist, and he doesn't feel the slightest feeling because he has pierced his nails into the flesh because of the force.

"Sorry, it's not my area of expertise, so I can't give any answers. But I think we can do an experiment on the spot." Nicol Lemay's eyes lit up and he proposed.

"What do you think, Albus?"

Minister of Magic, Fudge, was clearly a little unsure.

He was a little greedy, a little overjoyed, a little greedy for power, but he also understood what it meant to come back from the dead.

"I don't have any opinions." The headmaster replied with a blank face.

However, Aberforth, the bar owner on the side, knew very well that whenever his brother tried to block out all emotions and think with absolute reason, it was often the time when his inner mood fluctuated the most.

Seeing that Albus Dumbledore did not object, Snape, who had long been unable to hold back, immediately waved his wand and caught a mouse hiding in a dark corner to steal food.

Before the little creature could figure out what was happening, a "Avada nibbling melon" and a blinding green light ended its life.

Snape threw the rat carcass on the table and said to Zuosi, "Start your show!"

"As you wish, Professor."

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Zuo Si took out a small bottle of green healing potion from his pocket, and then gently tapped on the side of the magic stone, took out a few drops of magic mercury that emitted silver light and poured it in.

After a simple mixture, the liquid inside the vial emits a dazzling brilliance.

The surging life energy suddenly shocked everyone present.

When the liquid was poured on the corpse, it took less than ten seconds for the rat to become alive again.

"It's hard...... Unbelievable! This...... It's a miracle!"

A Ministry of Magic official began to speak incoherently with excitement.

Because it was the famous Curse that killed the rat just now.

No second person killed by this spell has survived so far, other than Harry Potter.

Not to mention the unheard of resurrection after death.

Albus Dumbledore asked with a solemn face, "Soth, do you know what this means?"

"Of course. This means that it will be something that countless people want and want to get by any means." Zuo Si replied nonchalantly.

"No! It's nowhere near as simple as you think. Old friend, tell him what you went through when you created the first Philosopher's Stone." Albus Dumbledore gave Nicol Lemay a wink.

The latter smiled wryly and said, "I have been hunted down for almost half a century. Both the Dark Wizards and the Muggle magnates who aspire to wealth and immortality are frantically searching for me and the Philosopher's Stones I hold, including the King of France at the time."

"Do you hear that? A magic stone that can only make people immortal and refine a metal similar to gold is still like that, not to mention you, which can bring the dead back to life. I admit that you have created a rare treasure that can be prefixed with greatness, but if it is not handled well, it will inevitably lead to catastrophic consequences."
