Chapter 24: Where Do We Come From?

Just a time for breakfast, Rove went through a rollercoaster of mood swings.

Wizards who had only been seen in the History of Magic or newspapers in the past, and even people who thought they had been dead for a long time, appeared in front of Rove in droves.

Miranda Goshawk, the witch who wrote the spell textbook Standard Spells, is also Professor Flitwick's favorite witch...... Keep asking Rove if there are any mistakes in the textbook.

Jocelid Wadcock, the holder of the record for the most goals scored in the English Quidditch League in the 20th century...... Took the initiative to talk to Rove about the skills of playing ball.

I heard that Rove was on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team and invited him to a tryout at the club.

There were also a large number of wizards, all of whom communicated cordially with Rove, and the boy turned from shock to excitement, and then to finally numbness......

If it were somewhere else, it would be quite rare for a famous wizard to appear, but in this small restaurant, I was embarrassed to greet people without the Merlin Medal.

This feeling is very similar to Rove's previous life when he followed his mentor to a meeting, and what he saw was either an academician or a Changjiang scholar, and no matter how bad he was, he had to be a good young man.

Even those who serve tea and pour water have a youth fund!

Lov's kind of academic bastard is a rarity in it.

After Rove finished eating, he hurriedly found an excuse to leave the restaurant, he was too young to become the object of ridicule and discussion.

There was also an old witch pinching his face, feeling that the young carcass was really moist.

Even the wizard wants to introduce his great-granddaughter to Rove...... You can introduce, but not do!

What? Already in your twenties? Forget it, Rove is not interested in the old aunt.

Tonks is not wrong, let alone him, it is Newt's group of wizards who have lowered the average age...... Belongs to the little young.

Rove walked out of the house, walked along the road, saw the old man he didn't know, and after standing still, he smiled and nodded, anyway, they were all elders...... Laugh and you're done.

The main target of Rove's walk was the pyramid in the middle of the manor, and he walked for more than ten minutes to get to the neighborhood.

From a distance, the pyramid is already very shocking, and when you go to the bottom of the tower, you can feel your own insignificance.

Standing by the wall, Rove touched the wall, he thought it was made of stone, but judging by the feel and luster, it looked more like gold.

Considering that the Philosopher's Stone can make gold, this pile of pyramids should not be gilded.

Looking at the pile of gold mountains more than thirty meters high, Rove was a little speechless, and he couldn't help but think...... How many sniffs do you have to carry it all!

The boy walked around the pyramid, looking up and admiring the words and symbols on it, the symbols on each side were different, and with his shallow knowledge, he did not know it at all.

Rove walked around and found no entrance, he thought the pyramid was sealed, and was about to leave when an entrance suddenly appeared on a wall.

Rove stood in front of the entrance and looked inside, and he looked and didn't go in......

Before the thought could be settled, a huge suction force sucked Rove's body in, and he immediately appeared in a hall.

In the center of the hall there are more than a dozen deep wells.

Rove stood at the edge of a well, looking down, the well was very deep, almost more than a hundred meters, and looking down from the well, it looked like a huge drain.

When he saw the contents of the bottom of the well, he was suddenly startled, it turned out that the bottom of the well flashed and thundered from time to time, as if it was raining rain.

Rove looked at the second well again, this time at the bottom of a spring, but black smoke billowed from the water.

He was about to look at the third well when he noticed a thin white-haired old man walking slowly.

"Nicol...... I didn't come in on purpose. Rove explained.

"Don't be nervous, Rove, I let you in." Nicol stood beside Rove, looked at the wells, stamped his foot lightly, and said with a smile:

"Any idea what you just watched?"

Rove shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"The first thing in the well is called primordial soup." The old man smiled: "Have you heard of it? ”

"A hypothesis about the origin of life?" Rove was surprised.

"yes." Nicol's eyes sparkled, and he exclaimed, "You know all things Muggles, as Albus said." ”

"I remember Darwin came up with this, right?" Rove said uncertainly.

"Yes, a century ago, I corresponded with Darwin under the pseudonym Muggle botanist Joseph Hooke, and in his letters he proposed a conjecture." Nicol said softly:

"If you had a mild little pond with all the things like ammonia, phosphate, light, heat and electricity, and it would form some kind of organic matter that resembled a protein, and then go through more complex changes, life could have come into being."

"It's like this......"

Nicol pulled out a pipe out of nowhere, and he suddenly swallowed the clouds and exhaled the mist, and in the fog, like a screen, a strange magical picture appeared:

The volcano erupted suddenly, the magma fell into the sea, and there was lightning and thunder in the sky...... It's like a scene from the early days of the earth.

"Based on Darwin's idea, I used alchemy to seal water, methane, ammonia, hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the well to create a lightning environment...... Completed the Primordial Soup Experiment, trying to make life.

"But alas, it failed." Nicol walked to the second well, and he whispered:

"Underneath this well is an acidic hydrothermal fluid that continuously erupts sulphides under the deep sea, which turns into black smoke when it comes into contact with water, and is also a method used to make life...... Muggles call it the black chimney theory. ”

Nicol smiled and said, "I have lived for more than six hundred years, and I have pursued for more than six hundred years...... Just to answer the two ultimate questions of mankind. ”

Rove pondered, "Where did we come from and where are we going?" ”

"That's right, in fact, these two questions can lead to a third question......" Nicol blinked, "the origin of magic." ”

"We're actually the same as Muggles, there's no difference in body structure." The old man's eyes were blazing:

"But why is it that someone can give birth to magic, while wizards are squibs, Muggles can awaken magic, and Muggles are just Muggles?"

"It's the same for wizards, why do some wizards awaken special talents, like Parseltongue and disguised Magus, but some wizards don't have this ability?"

Rove fell into deep thought.

Nicol pointed to the magic wells and smiled, "These are the results of my research. ”

Seeing that the young man was still pondering, the old man smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder and said:

"I've been thinking about it for many years, but I haven't found the answers to many questions, and you will have time to think about it later."

"Come on, Rove, I'll take you to see the gift I have prepared for myself." Nicol made his way up the stairs.

"What gift?"

"Coffin!"
