Chapter 163: Lao Tzu is a dark wizard! 6k (thanks to Sardox Boss for the reward!! )
Luke looked at the old man in front of him, not the slightest bit of panic, but showed an interested look on his face.
"In the wizarding world, in addition to goblins, are there human blacksmiths?"
Luke asked as he looked at the old man with a curious expression.
There are blacksmiths in the wizarding world, after all, whether it is those exquisite magical ornaments or the famous Gryffindor sword, they are not conjured at once with Transfiguration, but are actually hammered out with a hammer.
It's just that it's often goblins who have such technology. Don't look at these little things as if they are not good-looking, but their craftsmanship is recognized by everyone, they seem to be born magic craftsmen, and they have an amazing talent for forging. Whether it's the belt around Luke's waist that can be used to add gems repeatedly, or the sword of Gryffindor, it's their work.
So far, Luke has seen a lot of magic items produced by humans such as broomsticks, but the defensive or offensive magic items with high strength, as well as high-quality magic swords, are all made by goblins.
Of course, it's also because the magic sword has been kicked out of the stage of history, and the reason why Gryffindor is keen to use the sword is still a mystery to this day.
No one could tell why Gryffindor would use the sword as his weapon. Unfortunately, Luke hadn't seen the sword in person, so he didn't know if it had something to do with talent.
Judging from the demand and market share, the profession of blacksmith has never risen in the wizarding world. The past, present, and future are all the same.
This was the first time Luke had seen a living human magic blacksmith, especially someone who knew at a glance that he was super strong and had good craftsmanship.
"Aren't you afraid of me, boy? I'm a vicious dark wizard! ”
The old man's expression couldn't be said to be determined, but only to say that Luke, who was free to swim, looked confused.
Seriously, being taken to a place by someone with an unknown purpose is really easy to calm down?
As soon as he said this, Luke was stunned for a moment, and then looked at him with a puzzled expression, the old man looked at him with an expression that seemed to question his IQ, and the sound of a 'snap' on his forehead came from his ears, and the fierce expression on his face almost didn't stop.
"Look at what! Hurry up and hand me over the stuff! ”
He looked the most ferocious he felt, roaring as he picked up the sledgehammer from his feet. The weight of the hammer sank to the outrageous at first glance. But when the old man's hand dances, it looks as light as a plastic toy.
"What price did Dumbledore sell me for?"
Luke didn't panic at all, but he didn't try to provoke the old guy anymore, after all, the hammer didn't have eyes, and the shame of the emotional dust was not fake.
The fact that the Philosopher's Stone was shattered into powder was known only to him and Dumbledore, and at most to three people plus Taylor, after all, it was better to keep this matter secret.
Now a white-bearded old man suddenly popped up, saying that he would hand over the Philosopher's Stone powder himself.

If you think about it, you know that Dumbledore did it. But what Luke couldn't figure out was that there was no need to hide it from Luke in itself.
Even if you want to test whether the Philosopher's Stone still exists, such a technique is too low-level.
The old man was stunned for a moment, looking puzzled as to why Luke had mentioned Dumbledore's name.
But he was stunned, and he had already told Luke the answer.
After reacting for a while, the old man's face sank, ready to deny Luke's speculation. Even if there was such a speculation, there was no point, if he really wanted to threaten him, he didn't believe that this kid could be so determined.
And just as he was about to speak, Dumbledore's voice came in through the door.
"Alright, Gibson...... Oh my God, after all these years, your mind is still inversely proportional to your muscles......"
Dumbledore looked at the guy in front of him who had been seen through by Luke at a glance, and his face was helpless. Why he was reluctant to come to France. Because France has both the ambitious and aggressive Madame Maxime, who spends her days trying to beat other schools of witchcraft and wizardry, including Hogwarts, to the ground, and the Ministry of Magic, which is extremely inefficient, even more inefficient than the British Ministry of Magic. A group of powerful nobles who have not been weakened and suppressed, and the place that makes him sad.
France is really not a friendly country for him. Especially with such teammates.
"I really shouldn't expect anything from your acting skills."
Dumbledore said helplessly.
The old man known as Gibson snorted and clasped his hands on his chest, but there was no rebuttal on his face.
Dumbledore turned his head to look at Luke, and then realized that Luke had pointed his wand at some point.
"Professor, give me an explanation, I know you don't mean anything, but that doesn't mean I'm not angry."
Just kidding, he knew very well that as soon as he came to France, he would be used by Dumbledore in various ways. But in the same way, he was also using Dumbledore. It was inevitable that he would come to France, and judging from his previous performance, even if he chose the Muggle mode of transportation with the least chance of being noticed, he would still be noticed.
If you had come to France alone, it's hard to say if what would have been worse now.
"As you can see, there are so many people who are interested in you, and if we just go to Nicol like this, we will not only cause trouble for him, but we will only cause more trouble ourselves."
Dumbledore didn't care at all about Luke's wand aimed at him. To put it mildly, if he had encountered such a situation, then he would not hesitate to raise his wand and question the other party.
Judging by his face, Luke remained calm, which was sober enough.
Hearing this reason, Luke nodded, to be honest, he really didn't realize it before, but now he realized that he was really the same as Elder Tang now. When he passed by, he really dared to jump out of any cow, ghost, snake and god.
Counting the Strange family and the old man in front of him, it has only been two days since he arrived in France, and four waves of people have already come to the door, with good and bad attitudes and different purposes.

But there is one thing in common.
They were all running for Luke. It's like catching Luke now makes him immortal......
Ah, it seems like it can really be, that's okay......
Luke also has a basic understanding of his current situation.
"What you told me earlier, and the information about the residence that Mr. Lemay made public...... It's all fake. ”
Luke withdrew his wand into his sleeve. He patted his dust-stained robe. Then Luke smiled at Dumbledore, "Professor, so let's go now?" ”
"That's not going to work!"
Before Dumbledore could speak, Gibson shook his head and the hammer in his hand bobbed back and forth.
"Dumbledore said okay, I'll bring someone back for you, and you ask him to rub the powder of the Philosopher's Stone for me."
Gibson used his index finger and thumb to compare the money with his big brass bell-like eyes for a short distance.
"A little bit will do."
Dumbledore was a little embarrassed for a moment, and turned his head to look at Luke. Luke had a nonchalant look on his face. Such a look was not in the slightest surprise to Dumbledore.
He knew from the beginning that Luke couldn't compromise with him so easily.
"I'm saying that if you bring him here, you'll have a chance to get the Philosopher's Stone powder, Gibson."
Dumbledore didn't bother for a few seconds, quickly turned his head and said to Gibson. The real length in his eyes couldn't be more obvious, as if he had thought so from the beginning.
But Luke didn't believe a single punctuation mark, and Gibson's frowning brow and snorting two white snorts confirmed his suspicions. But to Luke's surprise...... Gibson didn't actually turn his face with Dumbledore, no, he didn't even complain.
"That's it, I want the Philosopher's Stone powder in your hand, let's make a deal."
It can be seen that although he is a little aggrieved, when he says this, he is sincere.
Luke felt like his whole body was shocked, no, old man, were you pua by Dumbledore?
But looking at Gibson's ugly face and the sledgehammer he held in his green hand, Luke chose to swallow the question back into his stomach.
"Let's answer my initial question first."
Luke was not flustered, his expression became more and more relaxed, and he even pulled out his wand again, and then 'grewed' a chair from the ground, Luke sat on the chair and said with a very sincere expression.
"What did you ask at the beginning?!"
Gibson said angrily.
He clasped his hands to his chest and slammed his ass on his own iron bench.
Luke restrained the desire to twitch at the corners of his mouth, now was not the time to complain.
"What I'm asking is, are you a human magic blacksmith? What will be played? Do you want Philosopher's Stone powder for what you want it for? ”
His barrage of questions made Gibson's brow furrow even tighter.
"Did you ask so many questions at the beginning? I don't have a good memory, but you can't fool me if it's so obvious! ”
Gibson looked at Luke and said fiercely.
Luke felt like he was at a loss......
"It doesn't matter, forget it, you can answer my question."

【Hogwarts Pureblood Glory】 【】
Luke rubbed his eyebrows with the root of his palm and said helplessly.
Seeing him like this, Gibson turned his head to look at Dumbledore, who nodded at him a little speechlessly. Dumbledore was really skeptical that the thing this guy took to sacrifice the sword would be his non-combat reaction speed and IQ.
Gibson frowned and organized the language for a moment, then said, "Of course I am the magic blacksmith of the human race, I know what you mean, but although we are a minority, we are indeed not dead. Still striking iron, and looking for a new weapon for wizards. ”
'The way forward for the wizard's new weapon', Luke keenly grasped the keyword, but he didn't say anything, and continued to listen to Gibson's story as usual.
And Gibson didn't care about Luke's face, just said to himself.
"My family's main forging is magic swords. You've probably heard of the legend of the Gryffindor Sword. Our people's dream is to create a magic sword that surpasses that sword. ”
"I think the forging of that sword is not just a gap in skill, no, it should be said that our things are not much different from the goblins in terms of skill, but our materials are really problematic."
"When the elves are forging, they often use the materials of fairy gold and fairy silver. When they mix these two metals with other metals to form alloys, special properties emerge. ”
When he said this, Gibson's eyes were full of helplessness: "And the goblin gold and goblin silver are the specialties of the goblins, even if they were defeated that year, they didn't call out the refining methods of these two metals." ”
"But they're alchemy items after all, aren't they? Then the pinnacle of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone, if it can be my forging material, I think I will be able to forge a magic sword far beyond the Gryffindor Sword. ”
When Luke heard this, he really wanted to give a big thumbs up to the one in front of him. Isn't this pure, Luke doesn't know the process of making Fairy Gold and Fairy Silver, but he understands very well that the Philosopher's Stone and these two things are no longer on the same level at all.
If those two are epic forging materials. Then the Philosopher's Stone is an artifact-level forging material. This is the world of Harry Potter, not the world of Fullmetal Alchemist. In this world, the Philosopher's Stone, that is, the Philosopher's Stone, is the only one.
This kind of thing is used as a forging material, and it must be strong, not to mention anything else, the powerful magic power alone is enough to make that magic sword extraordinary. And maybe there is some strange effect.
For example, the more you cut it, the younger you get, until you cut a person into a human cub with little combat power. Or it can absorb the life force of others in turn......
The idea is good, but Luke can forge such a weapon by learning to strike iron. And maybe it was stronger than Gibson, because Luke was more familiar with the nature of the Philosopher's Stone than Gibson.
You must know that if this sword is really cast, any skill will eventually become a foil to the Philosopher's Stone.
The old guy in front of him can only be described as whimsical.

"You don't have to look at me like that, I didn't mean that."
This time, Gibson noticed Luke's eyes: "I don't want to be coerced by the material, I know very well that my level is not high enough to be able to forge a sword from a whole piece of magic stone." So all along, this idea was just an idea, and I didn't even mention it. ”
"But it's different now!" Gibson said that he was emotional, staring at Luke with a fiery face, and a large hand like iron pincers pressed Luke's shoulder and said to Luke, "Now the Philosopher's Stone is broken!" What a beautiful thing! A whole piece of Philosopher's Stone is not good, and neither is a small piece of Philosopher's Stone, so a little bit of Philosopher's Stone powder is always fine. Anyway, the Philosopher's Stone is already broken, so it's better to use it and let me see if I can forge it into a sword. ”
"As long as you promise to give me the powder, I am willing to give you the most successful sword that has been forged!"
"Anyway, your family background and fame, as well as your ability from what it looked like just now, are not bad, so you shouldn't insult that sword."
Luke looked at Gibson with an excited expression, and didn't know what to say for a while.
He could see that the old man in front of him really wanted this powder. It seemed that he was going to use this to fulfill his ultimate wish, but this initiative was in vain.
"Because there's no Philosopher's Stone powder at all...... That thing is ridiculously hard, it really can't be smashed. ”
Luke thought helplessly in his heart. The Philosopher's Stone becomes a whole when it is cultivated, and when the magic power in it is used up, it is indestructible.

Luke didn't know if Nicol had told Dumbledore this information, but judging from Dumbledore's continuous temptations, he was afraid that he really didn't know the news. That's why he tried all kinds of ways to test whether the Philosopher's Stone was still there. Last night's dinner was indeed not Dumbledore's premeditation, but Dumbledore did not fail to follow the same high nobles, especially the other party who put on a posture of an elder, and also put his own flower-like granddaughter on the table, to test whether Luke was holding the Philosopher's Stone.
Luke didn't know why he was so persistent, but Luke knew that he must not hand things over. Even if it is handed over, it must be negotiated at the right time, in the right place, and at the right price.
Of course, he would not accept such temptation.
"Although I agree with your idea. I can feel your sincerity and enthusiasm...... Luke stared at the hanging hammer as he struggled to break Gibson's aching hand on his shoulder, "but this thing is not mine, I said he was useless!" ”
Luke couldn't help it.
This really made Gibson anxious and anxious.
"But it's all broken, and even if you give it back to Nicol Lemay, he won't be able to use it, and if I want to blame you for this, I definitely don't blame you for missing a little powder."
He looked at Luke eagerly, not at all as brave as he had been.
"I just need a little, really just a little."

His fingers were still in the gesture of the intermittent universe.
"If the Philosopher's Stone is still intact, I can intercept it for you, not only because you are a friend of Professor Dumbledore, but also because I can see that you are a person with pursuits, and the Philosopher's Stone is likely to be the last piece of the puzzle you are pursuing......"
Luke said emotionally, Gibson nodded repeatedly, he thought it was going to be done.
But Luke's next words once again knocked his hopes to the bottom.
"However, the Philosopher's Stone has been broken, and I have broken it, so I must go and ask Monsieur Lemay to plead guilty. That's my principle. What I did wrong, I will definitely bear what I should bear. ”
Luke looked into Gibson's eyes, and said with a stern and determined expression.
"If I can obtain the forgiveness of Monsieur Lemay, I will surely ask you for some Philosopher's Stone powder, so that you can fulfill your wish. But if Mr. Lemay is not willing to forgive me, then I'm sorry, this thing is not mine, I can't call the shots, not the slightest. ”
Luke's words were loud and firm, and it seemed that there was no room for negotiation.
The smile on Gibson's face grew bitter, and his head gradually lowered, as if he had been beaten by frost.
At this time, Luke looked at Dumbledore who was standing still on the other side, watching the play safely.
The two exchanged glances with each other.
'Shameless. ’
'One to the other. ’
Dumbledore wouldn't despise Luke now, and Luke wouldn't despise Dumbledore, because both of them went out of their way to fool Gibson around.
Luke sighed inwardly.
"Only Gibson was injured in the world, and ...... was born"
However, such an idea was only just born, and he saw that Gibson, who was still listless just now, raised his head suddenly, and the smile on his face was no longer as simple and enthusiastic as before, and it was really vicious.
Then Luke's gaze was firmly occupied by a touch of iron gray.
", suffer."
Luke burst out of his heart with a national curse, and the wand in his hand was grabbed into his hand again, but as soon as he raised it, Luke's hand stopped.
"Jump!" With a bang, Luke's body and wand landed almost at the same time.
It's dark in front of me, and my head still hurts a little, but these feelings are gradually becoming foggy.
But before Luke fell into a deep slumber, he heard a voice with a hideous smile.
"TNND, I'm a dark wizard! Talk to you about what ideals and what pursuits. What principles do you talk about with Lao Tzu, what kind of future do you talk about? ”
"Little ghost, haven't you seen a dark wizard before? Remember! Talk to the Dark Wizard about these things! It's all empty! ”
Luke would love to say that he had seen a dark wizard, and that he had seen one of the strongest dark wizards. But the dark wizard had already been killed by him before he could do such a thing.
Luke wanted to give the old man a middle finger, he was really a little moved. But now it seems that being moved is really a superfluous feeling. The next time you're chatting with someone, remember to keep that emotion down.

Ah, one is not enough, I have to erect another one for Dumbledore. Old thing, you made friends carelessly, waiting for the gold coins to explode!
Unfortunately, Luke didn't have time to say these words.
The mind is quiet, and the soul is silent.
Looking at Gibson, who was rummaging around Luke's body, finally pulling out the powder of the Philosopher's Stone from Luke's belt, and smiling excitedly, Dumbledore felt as if his breathing was a little difficult.
Damn it...... Do you want to kill Gibson and give Luke an account?
But look at Gibson really only took a little bit of powder out of the packet. Then he stuffed the powder bag back into Luke's belt, turned and ran to the stove not far away, picked up the sledgehammer, and immediately got to work. 、
Dumbledore still decided.
"Wait until you get up and decide for yourself. We'll soon find out what kind of person you are, Luke Gaunt. ”
Dumbledore whispered as he straightened Luke's head tilted back in his chair.
