Death?

Unfamiliar words exploded in Harry's head.

"You're greedy, John Wick."

Death let out a low laugh, "It's not a smart thing to negotiate terms with Death. ”

"I'm an alchemist," John said with a smile as he leaned back in his chair, "equivalent exchange, it's the immutable theorem of alchemy." ”

Alchemists are far more persistent than merchants.

"You're funny, John Wick." Death raised his hand, revealing the fingers of the skeleton beneath the robe.

Harry's body was cold, and he held the child stiffly.

"It is intolerable to play with the dead." John uttered as if singing.

He looked at the child in Harry's arms and said, "You said that the last time we met. ”

"You want to trade this?" Death said with interest, "This soul is very weak. ”

John shook his head and said, "Tom Marvolo Riddle." ”

Hearing Voldemort's name, the Grim Reaper stared at the child.

The child cowered in Harry's arms.

"You like to control the fate of the powerful."

John's eyes flashed with a different color, and he said, "The warlike boss, the arrogant second, and the humble third." ”

"The Legend of the Three Brothers." Harry snapped back to the story.

This story was told to Hermione when Dumbledore's army gathered.

It just so happened that he remembered this.

Secretly, he felt that the story had something to do with him.

"Tom Riddle plays with death, and his soul should be loved by you."

John finished speaking, looking at the Grim Reaper.

Death turned his gaze away from the child, his hood could not see his face clearly, so he did not know what his expression was, and said, "What do you want?" ”

He showed an interest in Voldemort's soul.

John's palms were slightly sweaty, his eyes looked straight at death, and he said word by word: "Equivalent exchange." ”

"One soul for another?" The Grim Reaper said this.

Harry felt a push on his back, forcing him to lean back in his chair.

He looked out the window, and the slow-moving train accelerated, and although there was no view to speak of, it could feel much faster.

It's the Grim Reaper.

The Grim Reaper stared at John, his voice cold, "Do you know what you're talking about? ”

"You want to be my next prey?"

Hearing this, Harry felt his heart beat out.

He turned his head to look at John, but saw that he was not afraid.

John smiled, as if he didn't hear the danger in Death's voice, "Of course I don't want to, but the Dark Lord's soul is more attractive than an ordinary soul. ”

He said unhurriedly: "Voldemort's soul sacrificed many souls to escape death, and theoretically, he can live forever." ”

John held out a finger and shook it, "That's the rule, a rule you can't interfere with." ”

The Grim Reaper was silent, because the Grim Reaper could not kill on his own initiative.

Just like the story of the three brothers, even when he faced the three brothers, he never dealt with them directly.

Rather, they wait for their own death.

Through the gifted items, the boss is inflated and belligerent, and finally dies when other wizards cut his throat, so that the second child is forced to commit suicide by his indifferent beloved.

The third child escaped death because of the invisibility cloak?

No, he has a humble heart.

If he uses the Cloak of Invisibility to provoke other wizards, then he may also be stripped of his Cloak and guillotined.

After all, there is no way to see through the invisibility cloak in the wizarding world, and Dumbledore can see through it with the naked eye.

Moody's Magic Eye can also see through.

The third child survived because he didn't cause trouble.

This is not the same as his two older brothers.

Death said coldly: "Even if this is the case, how long do you think he can live?" ”

"For a long time."

"If you don't close this deal, I can assure you that he can live a long time," John said. ”

The Grim Reaper sneered, "You're just talking in your dreams. ”

Voldemort would die, and he would be defeated by other wizards, because Dumbledore was there.

But John's next words directly shattered the smile of the Grim Reaper.

He stared at the Grim Reaper and said lightly, "I will help him, help him escape death, and gain eternal life." ”

"John, you're ......" Harry couldn't believe it.

The next second, John stared at the Grim Reaper, adding a bomb to the convincing power of his words.

He said calmly, "I made the Philosopher's Stone. ”

Now, the speed of the train is extremely fast.

The scenery outside also changed, from a blank space to a white mist that sometimes flashed like a human form.

The Grim Reaper was silent.

Philosopher's Stone?

Is it the Philosopher's Stone in the first grade?

Harry tried to read the expression on John's face, but he failed.

After a moment of silence, the Grim Reaper asked, "You can't make it at your current level." ”

"In the wizarding world, there is no shortage of miracles." John said disapprovingly.

The Grim Reaper seemed convinced, saying, "No one has ever threatened me. ”

John smiled indifferently, "This is a deal, not a threat." ”

According to John, then Voldemort's immortality is not impossible.

At the very least, Voldemort could easily live for hundreds of years.

With Horcruxes and Philosopher's Stones, even the Grim Reaper can't get his soul.

This is not allowed for the Grim Reaper.

For example, he had spent nearly a hundred years searching for the souls of his three brothers, and Voldemort's value in his eyes was extremely important.

"Well, for your wisdom and courage, I'm willing to complete this deal." Death stretched out his skeletal hand.

As he had complimented the three brothers, he admired: "On a condition, I need the soul of Tom Marvolo Riddle." ”

John gripped the hand, and his smile became a little odd.

He joked, "Actually, I'm just lying to you." ”

"Huh?" Death wondered.

John smiled meaningfully, "It turns out that death can't escape magic." ”

He wasn't sure before, after all, the Grim Reaper had only been in contact with him once.

Judging by the Grim Reaper's performance, he was sure that the Grim Reaper could not kill Voldemort with external force.

Death cannot personally intervene in this world.

Then it means that the Grim Reaper is still in the realm of magic and follows the rules.

And as long as it's within the realm of magic......

The hands they held were wrapped in a gold thread on the backs of their hands.

"What do you do?" Death asked.

John smiled, "Have you forgotten, I'm an alchemist. ”

"Naturally, you have to find a qualified notary."

On top of the tangled gold wires, a tree-shaped figure of circles and lines emerges from the backs of both hands.

"The Gate of Things?!"

The Grim Reaper's voice changed.

"Unfortunately, my teacher is the administrator of the Gate of Things at this time."

John smiled brightly, "Just now you agreed, and I took it upon myself to take it upon myself to exchange for equivalence." ”

The hands of the two were firmly locked, and even the god of death was a little panicked at the moment.

The Grim Reaper, who once played with the three brothers, is being played by a wizard today.

He had no intention of fulfilling his promise normally, just like the trap he had set for the three brothers.

But now, he was countered to the army.

As the supreme mystery of the alchemist, the Gate of Things, even if it is a god of death, it cannot break the rules of trading.

If you can see the face of the Grim Reaper, then it must be very ugly.

John said, "I, John Wick, will exchange Voldemort's soul for Heinrich Edgar's soul in exchange for the Door of Things as a contract. ”

Two doors appeared above the handshake between the two, and his words became a contract, wrapped around their hands.

Harry's eyes widened as John had asked for Heinrich's soul.

Don't!

Do you want to resurrect him?!

He couldn't believe that magic couldn't bring the dead back to life.

Even first-year Hogwarts students know this.

"This is an ancient magic, you would know." The Grim Reaper really sighed from the bottom of his heart this time.

It's a very old magic that basically no one knows about.

Can't stand John's ability to have the most powerful alchemist teacher in history.

He himself had been to the Gate of Things twice.

Under the gaze of John and Harry, the Grim Reaper nodded slowly.

The entangled contract in their hands disappeared, and a roll of parchment appeared in front of them.

Death picked up the contract and stuffed it into his robes.

Just when Harry thought it was over, Death sneered, "You are indeed a smart man, John Wick, but you forgot that playing with death never ends well. ”

"I don't bother you with that." John said calmly.

The train slowed down, and Death stood up and waved.

The train stops at a station full of fog, and Death steps off the train.

Outside the window was a foggy world, and Harry seemed to see a couple waving at him.

When he tried to see clearly, the train started moving again.

John's body, which had been tense, could finally relax at this moment.

His palms were covered with sweat, and even he could only feign composure in the face of the legendary Grim Reaper.

The scenery outside became familiar, like the way they had made their way to Hogwarts.

It's just that there are no railroad tracks ahead, and there is only a dead end.

When Harry found out, he screamed.

"Oops, there's no way ahead!"

The train was unmanned at all, and it rushed towards a dead end.

The Grim Reaper will disgust them after he is gone.

John shrugged and muttered, "Little kid temper." ”

Holding Harry, he took a black feather out of his pocket and gave it to Harry for him to hold.

The train is less than a kilometer away, and it is only a matter of seconds.

John wasn't nervous at all, in stark contrast to Harry.

As the train falls off a cliff, John peeks out of his collar with a locket.

When opened, there was a black stone inside.

He smiled, "Have a good trip, Harry. ”

A white light occupies the pupil.

...

Some people died, but not completely......
