The same river, the three brothers, and the hooded Grim Reaper.
"You escaped death with your ingenuity, choose a reward." Death said.
The boss is an outstanding alchemist, and he wants a book that contains all the alchemy in the world.
In this way, he can make powerful weapons to protect himself, and also make magic stones, turn stones into gold, and get wealth and immortality!
Death went to an elder tree on the shore, peeled off a layer of bark from the trunk, and gave it to the boss.
The second child is a Parseltongue, and he likes to play with snakes, especially powerful ones.
He told Death that he wanted to get the most powerful snake in the world.
So the **** of death caught a giant python in the mud hole on the bank of the river and gave it to the second child.
Death told the second child that this giant python was the strongest snake in the world.
Death asked the youngest third child what he wanted.
The third child is the most honest and pragmatic. He is hungry and thirsty, and he knows that he has a long way to go, so he wants something that will keep him full of food and drink.
Reluctantly, Death handed his cup to the third child, a goblet that was rough cut from wood.
After giving out the reward, the **** of death gave way and let the three brothers continue on their way.
As they walked, they talked about the wonderful experience just now, admiring the gift of death.
Later, the three brothers broke up and moved towards their respective destinations.
The boss walked for more than a week and returned home. He couldn't wait to take out the book and start refining the magic stone according to the above steps.
The boss followed the steps exactly, and after a few days, it really succeeded.
But the book only had the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone, but it didn't tell him how to brew the elixir.
The boss is just an alchemist, not a potion master.
He tried many methods, but couldn't get the elixir, and in the last breath, he swallowed the magic stone.
The boss is immortal, and the touch of a stone turns into gold.
But the bad thing is that he can't control this ability, and anything he touches will directly turn into gold.
Soon, his wife and children turned into gold.
He was very hungry, and the food he picked up turned into gold; he wanted to drink water again, and the cup and the water also turned into gold.
In the end he died of thirst.
Death took the boss's life just like that.
Meanwhile, the second child came to a small village and quarreled with a wizard.
The grumpy second took out his wand and told the python in Parseltongue to kill the wizard.
But the python, which has always been obedient, was rarely obedient, but bit on the wand of the second child and wanted to swallow it.
It turned out that the second child's wand was a snake wood wand with a basilisk horn at its core, which attracted the giant python.
Without the wand, the second child was easily killed by the wizard.
In this way, the **** of death took the life of the second child.
At this time, in another distant direction, many believers have gathered around the third child.
It turned out that he was walking on the road and found that there was a famine in many villages.
The third child took out the goblet given by the **** of death, and blood-red wine automatically appeared in the glass, as well as unfinished food.
He distributed it to the starving people for free, and led everyone through the disaster and reclaimed the land.
Everyone followed the third child, became his believers, and worked with him to save more people.
But among these people, there is one person who is not willing to go back to his previous life, and he also wants to live without food and clothing.
The man betrayed the third child, and took advantage of the third child's trust to kill him and take the goblet.
But Death couldn't take the third child's life.
After eating the food of the **** of death, the third child was resurrected on the third day after death.
After his resurrection, although he lost the goblet, he also used his own strength to help those believers.
After many years, the third child is very old, and his followers are all over the world.
The third child greeted the **** of death like an old friend, and as an equal, happily joined him and left the world.
Nico finally finished the story.
"Isn't it weird? The same **** of death, the same river, three fixed brothers...completely different gifts."
"It's really strange." William frowned.
If these are true, he almost suspects that there is a wholesale system of death gods in this world, specializing in sending legendary magic items to wizards.
"Could it be that this Death God system is actually mine, but when crossing, there is a time turbulence, causing the binding to fail?"
William frowned, as if he had lost 100 million.
Looking at William's thoughtful expression, Nico smiled and said, "William, have you heard the word Deathly Hallows?"
William regained his senses and shook his head slowly, he really had never heard of it.
"Those are the Deathly Hallows." Nico took out a piece of parchment and spread it out on the table.
"The Elder Wand in the old Bedouin story." He drew a vertical line on the parchment.
"Resurrection Stone." He added a circle to the vertical line.
"Invisibility cloak." He drew a triangle outside the vertical line and circle.
"Together, it's the Deathly Hallows."
"But isn't this Grindelwald's mark?" William was taken aback.
Any book describing the original Dark Lord will carry this mark, just like Voldemort's "Bone Resurrection".
"No," Nico shook his head. He held his chin and smiled. "This symbol existed thousands of years ago. It wasn't created by Grindelwald. Do you know what it means?"
"what?"
"I know Grindelwald, who is far more terrifying than Voldemort.
Such a great wizard would not choose to be his own logo just because the symbol is good-looking, he is not so superficial.
That means even our terrifying original Dark Lord is looking for the Deathly Hallows.
If I say so... do you still think these things are just illusory? "
William frowned.
"Okay, let's not talk about Grindelwald.
Let's look at the story that Mercury told - the phalanx of the **** of death. "He drew another vertical line on the parchment.
"A wreath of infinite wisdom." He added a circle to the vertical line.
"Oddly shaped cauldron." He drew a triangle outside the vertical line and circle.
"Together, it's the Deathly Hallows."
"In my story - python." He drew a vertical line on the parchment.
"Goblet of Death." He added a circle to the vertical line.
"The Book of Alchemy." He drew a triangle outside the vertical line and circle.
"Together, it's the Deathly Hallows."
"In every story, there are three objects that, taken together, are the Deathly Hallows.
When you have three things, you become the master of death. "
William didn't know how to answer, so he could only stare blankly at the three identical figures.
Around the desk, Niko paced again.
"William, I know you're still doubting, but really please don't doubt, I have something in my hand that exactly fits the description of the story."
"I think you've guessed it, yes—that alchemy book from the boss."
