Chapter 538: The Elder Wand and the Crown
By the time Kyle came out of the principal's office, it was already evening.
The main thing is that Dumbledore couldn't wait to leave after getting the ashes of Nirvana, and according to Nicol, he needed to prepare other things needed to refine the Philosopher's Stone.
Nicol is going back, too.
At his request, Kyle sends him to the highest part of the school, the tower of the astronomy class.
Nicol walked slowly, and Kyle followed him, unhurried towards the tower.
Occasionally, one or two Gryffindor students could be found in the hallway, and they curiously asked Kyle what he was doing and why he was walking so slowly, as if he hadn't seen Nicol next to him.
"A little trick." Nicol explained, "I don't want my name to be in tomorrow's paper, it saves me a lot of trouble. ”
Kyle nodded in understanding.
The name Nicolame is magical, and even if he just shows up somewhere, the impact is enough to cause a stir in the wizarding world.
Because of this, he almost never left his manor, at most, at certain times, to go to the old French mansion, or to Muggle Beach away from wizards.
The two continued to walk forward, and as they turned the first hallway, Kyle couldn't help but ask, "Nicol, is the help you just said a crown?" ”
"I knew you were going to ask me." Nicol said, "The soul fragment in the crown has completely disappeared, and as I said earlier, it is now and new.
I have to say, it's really the most perfect alchemy item I've ever seen, and even I can't resist the charm of the crown......"
"I thought you'd bring the crown this time." Kyle said suddenly, "After all, the time we agreed on was half a year. ”
"I was meant to bring it." Nicol's expression remained unchanged, "But I'm overestimating my memory, but we can't expect an old man in his six hundred to always remember everything, can we?"
"And Tata, you should remind me when you go out."
Tata's ears twitched, "I'm sorry, master, Tata will remember next time." ”
Then Tata lowered his head and continued on in silence.
What can he do, he is just a poor house-elf, and he can only honestly connect this pot and then buckle it to his body.
Kyle pouted, he now somewhat understood why Nicol had come over for himself.
Here, he can forget to bring the crown, but if Kyle goes to the manor to deliver it, then there is no reason to find it.
It's really an old wizard who has lived for more than 600 years, and he has a lot of eyes.
"Alright, no kidding." Nicol laughed and said, "I can give you the crown at any time, but I don't recommend that you touch it too soon...... Well, I don't know if you've heard the story of the Deathly Hallows. ”
"The Deathly Hallows from The Tales of the Poet Bean?" Kyle replied, "I've seen it, and I'm talking about the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak. ”
"That's right, this is it."
Nicol said slowly, "It's always easy to lose one's mind when it's too powerful, just like Antioch Peverell who got the Elder Wand in the story of the Three Brothers. After gaining invincible power, he forgot to be cautious and vigilant, so that he was easily killed.
"And the crown is another form of the Elder Wand, and the wisdom it brings will make people want to stop, and once you take off the crown, you will feel that you have lost everything.
If you don't have a strong enough heart, you'll never be able to get rid of this sense of loss...... Unless you can wear it forever, or rather, be subject to it. ”
Kyle listened silently before asking, "Nicol, can even you be affected by the crown?" ”
"Oh, of course not."
Nicol laughed and said, "I have experienced so many things that I can't remember, and they are constantly changing me until today, 600 years later, so that I can face everything calmly." ”
While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the tower of the astronomy class.
At this point, Tata behind him walked forward quickly, and after groping around the tower for a while, he seemed to find something.
Then he pressed down hard with both hands.
It was as if a large "cloak of invisibility" had been ripped off, revealing a ...... hidden underneath Airship.
That's right, it's an airship, it's about the size of a giant squid in the Black Lake, and the carriage underneath is like a small boat upside down on the lake.
It's hard to imagine that such a large airship could be safely perched on a small tower, but if you associate it with Nicolamel, it seems to make sense again.
"Here's for you." Nicol pulls out a blank piece of parchment and hands it to Kyle.
"If you think about it, write to me. With this piece of parchment, the owl was able to find the location of the manor. ”
"Okay." Kyle took it, thought for a moment and said, "But is there any parchment like this?" One may not be enough. ”
"What?" Nicol was a little unresponsive. "It's just a letter, it doesn't need to be too long."
Kyle didn't explain, just silently took out a box.
Nicol subconsciously took a few steps forward.
He recognized that this was the box he had given Kyle in the first place, including the Ravenclaw tiara, which had been taken out of this box.
So what is it this time, he can't help but be a little curious, it can't be Kyle who has found another Horcrux.
"It just so happened that I was thinking about when I would go to Devon again, but now I don't need to."
Kyle casually opened the box, which contained a small double-handled gold cup and a locket encrusted with gems.
Seeing the contents of the box, the corners of Nicol's mouth twitched, "Is this ......?"
"Ah, this is the Hufflepuff Gold Cup, and the Slytherin Locket."
Kyle said, "It's just that they're all made into Horcruxes now...... If there is any surplus of the ancient potion from before, can you help clean up the soul fragments in these two things?
After all, they were all left by the Big Four, and it would be a pity to be made into a Horcrux. ”
Nicol couldn't help but rub his eyes.
In fact, the moment he opened the box, he could already see that the two things in the box were real.
But just because it was true, he found it unbelievable.
What was left behind by the Hogwarts Four, Kyle collected three by himself, how did he do it......
And that Voldemort, how did he make all of this into a Horcrux.
First the crown, now the gold cup, the locket, if it weren't for Nicol's clear knowledge that Gryffindor's sword was at Hogwarts, properly placed in the Sorting Hat in the Headmaster's office, he would have wondered if that sword had also been made into a Horcrux.
"I can promise you." Nicol lifted his finger and took the two items out of the box, "You may have to be patient for a while, though, and I may not have time until the Philosopher's Stone is finished." ”
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Kyle said, "But Nicol, do you know what these two things do?" ”
Although the gold cup and the locket are not as famous as the crown, they also carry the names of the Big Four, so it is impossible to have any decorations that are useless.
"Speaking of which, I know a little bit." Nicol thought for a moment and said, "It's about a hundred, and I saw them once more than three hundred years ago.
"The locket is a nice container, and what is placed in it can be kept unaffected by any magical factors.
"And most importantly, it's so strong that if you don't know how to speak, you won't be able to destroy the locket with an incredibly powerful Elder Wand.
"The golden cup always conjures up a steady stream of wine, with a sweet taste, and I drank it once, and I still remember it vividly, and it is the most precious treasure for wizards who like to drink."
"Wait, conjure wine out of the glass? But the law of Gamp's transformation ......" Kyle frowned suspiciously, "Could it be a permanent renewal spell?" ”
"No, I'm sure, it's not the Renewal Spell, it's not the Diversion Spell." Nicol said, "No one knows where the wine comes from, just as one cannot explain why a Ravenclaw crown increases the wearer's wisdom."
However, this is also in line with Helga Hufflepuff's character.
It is said that Hufflepuff spent her lifetime brewing enough wine to fill the entire Hogwarts, but perhaps because it was full of wizards who were not yet adults, or maybe it had something to do with Godric's habit of secretly drinking, she ended up with all of these wines in her favorite gold cup. ”
