Chapter 149: Lost Time

The Philosopher's Stone is a magical substance with amazing functions. It can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life so that those who drink it will never die.

Prior to July 31, 1991, the Philosopher's Stone was stored in Vault 713 of the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, which belonged to Albus Dumbledore, and in order to prevent the Philosopher's Stone from being stolen, Dumbledore ordered Rubeus Hagrid to remove the Philosopher's Stone from Vault 713 on the morning of July 31, 1991, and transfer it to the Chamber of Secrets on the fourth floor of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The Philosopher's Stone became the lure for Voldemort, the noseless weirdo, and also induced Harry Potter to live a miserable life in the wizarding world during his first year.

But it's 1993, and according to the Harry Potter plot, the alchemist who created it, Nicola Lemay, died last year.

The Philosopher's Stone was the last one to be used as bait, and in Dumbledore's mouth, he had destroyed the Philosopher's Stone, and the key tool for making the elixir was gone.

The wizarding world is for the development of the Temporal Authority, but the Philosopher's Stone is Rorschach's personal need.

In the Pacific Rim, Rorschach ventured to use the Workshop of Time to speed up the flow of time in the Shattered Dome, but at the cost of taking some of the time out of his body.

If time could be measured, then there would also be a progress bar for the immortality that Rorschach had achieved with the Ancestral Virus.

And after losing some of the time, Rorschach also visibly felt powerless. After being injected with the virus, I felt weak for the first time.

So Rorschach needs the Philosopher's Stone to replenish his lost life.

Grindelwald looked at Rorschach in front of him and asked, "You are so young that you want to live forever?" ”

Rorschach pulled open a pair of his chest, revealing his chest.

From the outside, Rorschach looks like an ordinary person, but his open chest is skinny, from the second rib on the left side downwards, all the way to the tip of the heart, the smooth skin is replaced by scarring, and the beating of the heart under the scar can make people clearly see the outline of the heart.

Seeing such a strange body, Grindelwald reached out and touched Rorschach's chest and said, "You're not injured, you've lost your life?" That's why you need the Philosopher's Stone! ”

The tone shifted from doubt to conviction, and Grindelwald saw what was wrong with Rorschach.

"So I wonder if the last Philosopher's Stone still exists!"

Grindelwald said, "Then you'll have to ask Nicol Lemay, but he died last year." He is the creator of the Philosopher's Stone......"

"Don't you know?"

"Know what?"

"You're good-looking...... Ahem...... Old rival Dumbledore had claimed to have destroyed the last Philosopher's Stone the year before. I wonder if it's real or fake. ”

Dumbledore, a man Grindelwald will never forget, they were once all one, idealistic and ambitious.

They both understand that each other is their other half, and the historian of the wizarding world, Bathilda Basshat, said, "These two children who have tasted the vicissitudes of life prematurely hit it off at first sight." They "cast their fate like fire and pot."

So the two fell in love, formed a blood pact in the barn, and vowed never to hurt each other.

However, the motives and intentions of the latter two diverged, with Grindelwald wanting wizards to become the rulers of the Muggle world, while Dumbledore wanted to protect his loved ones (and the world as a whole) from the cruelty and xenophobia shown by Muggles.

The original lovers and comrades-in-arms parted ways and began to love and kill each other.

After foiling Grindelwald's plots many times, Dumbledore became a great wizard admired by everyone, and Grindelwald ended up in the prison he had set up himself.

The two are separated from each other on this day, loving each other and preparing to die alone.

Now hearing Dumbledore's news, Grindelwald was at first nostalgic, then remorseful, and finally relieved.

The understanding of his lover made Grindelwald quickly make a judgment, and said to Rorschach: "Don't believe his nonsense, he may destroy the Philosopher's Stone at the last moment of his life, but before that, the Philosopher's Stone will be his help and bargaining chip." I'm sure this old guy still has the Philosopher's Stone! ”

After thinking back on the first half of his life, Grindelwald looked at Rorschach again and said, "Show me your scars again, I have to study what they are." In addition, I also learned about the Philosopher's Stone from Dumbledore's mouth, Nicol Lemay lived for so long, but his body was already dilapidated, and I guess that the Philosopher's Stone only helped Nicol Lemela prolong his life, and did not replenish his life......"

Grindelwald's words undoubtedly shattered Rorschach's hopes, since the Philosopher's Stone was useless, there was no need to look for it again......

Knocking on the table and looking at Rorschach's disappointed expression, Grindelwald said angrily: "I'm just guessing!" Guess! Even if it lengthens the course of life, it will have an unexpected effect on you! ”

With that, the curtain behind Grindelwald began to act on its own, tearing itself off the window and folding itself up and floating in front of the two of them.

With a tear, the curtain broke in the middle, and Grindelwald pointed to the gap in the middle and said, "This is the part of life you are missing, and the Philosopher's Stone can extend ......"

With that, the first half of the curtain began to grow towards the gap, and finally joined the broken crack.

"Just like this, you can cover up your original wear and tear, and with some customized potions, maybe you won't have any problems in the future."

Grindelwald's words made Rorschach sigh. As a White Lord who abides by the rules of the game, Dumbledore will refer to the demands of ordinary wizards and act within the rules as much as possible.

Rorschach was originally going to use the ordinary world to influence the wizarding world after confirming that the Philosopher's Stone still existed, and then use the wizarding world to influence Dumbledore and ask Dumbledore to hand over the Philosopher's Stone.

However, Grindelwald said that it also needed the cooperation of potions, and this would certainly not be an ordinary potion that could be bought casually on the street.

Then Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a link that Rorschach can't avoid, Dumbledore who left the Philosopher's Stone and Potions Master Snape.

Rorschach, who had a bit of a headache, stood up, thinking about how to convince these two stubborn and persistent guys.

Rubbing his head, Rorschach looked at Grindelwald in front of him and said, "Then next, I'm going to send people to negotiate with various ministries of magic, do you have anything to ask or need to handle?" ”

Grindelwald waved his hand and said, "No, I don't need anything." ”

Rorschach, who was about to walk out of the room, looked back at Grindelwald and said hesitantly, "Do you need me to come to see you regularly?" Maybe in a few years you will die silently in this cold, damp prison. ”

Hearing this, Grindelwald glared at Rorschach fiercely, causing him to quickly close the door and run down the tower.

Returning to the window chair and sitting down, Grindelwald watched as the ship slowly descended, and then Rorschach stood at the hatch and waved goodbye to him.

As the ship departed, Grindelwald reached for a brick on the wall and pulled out a skull, which was Grindelwald's own prophecy prop.

A puff of smoke drifted by, and Grindelwald was unable to see any of the prophecies in the smoke.

"The future has changed...... So Dumbledore, are you ready! ”
