According to Nicole May, the first half of his life was unremarkable, even a bit dull and boring.
One night, there were lightning and thunder, heavy rain, the sky and the earth were dark, a black dragon was seen in the west, and a phoenix fell into a dream... Well, these visions have nothing to do with Niko.
He was just in a daze and had a dream:
A wizard with a hood came to a dream and told him that there was a legendary magic book in a cave on the northwest coast of the Arabian Sea.
He only needs to take away the magic book, study hard and understand it thoroughly, then he can obtain extraordinary knowledge, marry Chun Fumei, and then embark on the peak of life.
"When I woke up the next day, I started thinking about the dream."
Niko's tone was cheerful, as if recalling the scene of that day.
"At that time, before I finished breakfast, I decided to sell all my belongings and set off to find the book at noon. The whole thinking process did not exceed five minutes."
William was suddenly speechless, who hasn't dreamed of strange things in their dreams?
Most people wake up, and at most they will reminisce. Few people will take their dreams seriously, right?
If he had followed the dream, William would have been imprisoned for life in Azkaban.
Looking at William's expression, Nico laughed and said, "Yeah, it's ridiculous, isn't it? If it were me now, I wouldn't believe in this kind of dream, or would hesitate, and it's impossible to abandon everything recklessly, according to the dream. guide to pursue.
But at that time, I was still very young, very impulsive, and did not consider the consequences of everything.
The most important thing is that I don't have many outstanding talents in magic, but one of my ancestors was a fortune teller, and I also inherited this talent, which can make short-term predictions about the future.
I thought...it was my ancestors dreaming me. "
Nico was pacing around the chair, a smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "I sold the bookstore, borrowed a lot of money, bought a batch of supplies and maps, and set off towards the Arab Sea alone. ."
"Arabahai?" William asked suspiciously.
"We called it the Arab Sea at that time, which is now the Dead Sea." Nico pondered for a moment and said, "According to the memory in my dream, I searched the northwest coast of the Dead Sea for a whole year.
Finally found the ruins in a cave, where there are a large number of manuscripts, I found the alchemy book in a pile of parchment scrolls. "
William opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief, "You mean the Dead Sea Scrolls, right?"
Half a century ago, shepherds found scrolls in caves near the ancient settlement of Qumran.
Archaeologists and treasure hunters have landed in Gu Mulan, and found about 40 caves in the Qumran Valley, among which 11 caves contain scriptures. A total of more than 600 ancient scriptures have been found, dozens of which are relatively complete. There are also tens of thousands of fragments.
These ancient scrolls were found in the Dead Sea, so they are collectively referred to as "Dead Sea Scrolls" by the academic community, and they are a group of cultural relics whose value is difficult to estimate.
"That's right," Nico nodded, "I noticed what Muggles call those parchment scrolls, the Dead Sea Scrolls.
But I prefer to call it the Book of Abraham. "
"Why didn't you take everything with you?" asked William.
"As I just said, I'm a big believer in that kind of esoteric stuff.
The man only asked me to take away the magic book in the dream, so I thought that everything else was a test, so I didn't have the slightest greed and left the rest of the items behind.
Of course, those parchment scrolls were Muggle stories, and they were of no use to me. "
William nodded slightly, this is true.
The wizards in the magical world are not religious, and the manuscript "Bible" is no different from blank paper to Nicole.
LeMay said slowly, "After I left the Dead Sea, I went back to Paris and started studying the Book of Abraham.
That book was a large ancient book, not made of paper or sheepskin like other books, but made of fine and smooth bark. "
"Elderberry bark?"
"That's right, it's exactly the same as in the death story!"
LeMay looked at William, who was holding his breath and listened carefully, and said softly, "The words in the book are not English, Latin, French, or other words that Muggles can understand, but written in ancient rune.
It took me another twenty-one years to learn ancient rune. "
"The magic book was very thick, and it was divided into three groups in groups of seven pages.
Contains the first page, and the seventh page of each group has no text.
On the seventh page of the first group, a wand swallowed by a giant python is drawn, and on the seventh page of the second group, a goblet is drawn. "
"The wand and the goblet that the giant python devoured..." William raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this the gift that the second and third children asked for?"
"Yes." Nicole listened to the music in his ear, and after a while, a sneer appeared on his face.
"So the boss is still being played by the **** of death.
He wanted the all-encompassing alchemy book, but without that wand and goblet, the second and third groups couldn't be seen. "
"Then have you found those two things?"
Nicole showed a regretful expression, "No, I have searched for six hundred years and found nothing, but there are some clues."
Nico snapped his fingers, and a thick golden book floated over from the huge bookshelf.
The book reads: "Pureblood Family Secrets".
The book flipped through quickly, and quickly turned to the position where the search letter was S, and the first page was Salazar Slytherin.
"According to the records of this book, Salazar Slytherin's wand is a snake wood wand with a basilisk horn core, exactly the same as the wand of the second child in the story.
And he himself is a Parseltongue. "
"But it wasn't swallowed by the python." William said, looking at the book.
"Not really, but on Slytherin's wand, a giant python is outlined.
Dumbledore also helped me get confirmation from those headmaster portraits. ' Nicole explained.
"But Slytherin's logo is also a snake, maybe it's a coincidence That's right, kid." Nico said seriously: "But you have to remember that any Deathly Hallows are in history. There is no clear record left.
We can only guess, looking for clues in the vast river of history. "
William nodded and said, "What about Slytherin's wand? I remember it was recorded in the school history that he left the school."
"Yes, Slytherin did leave Hogwarts.
But before that, he passed the wand to his children. By the early 17th century, it had become a Gaunt family heirloom. "
After Nico finished speaking, the book quickly flipped, and soon reached the Gaunt family.
"But unfortunately, Aesop Thiel stole the wand from her aunt Gormley Gaunt and took the Mayflower to the New World."
"Aesop Searle?" William thought, "This name sounds familiar."
"Aesop and her husband co-founded the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the best wizarding school in America.
But after her death, the clues were completely cut off, and the wand disappeared from history. "
Nico sighed.
...
...
(Thanks to the protector "Snz" for the 10,000-coin reward, I owe one more update.
ps Let me explain, the recent plot has deviated from the main line.
But I had to write, after all, it belongs to the part of the outline that expands the worldview, and then it is revealed with the death of the core.
The nine Deathly Hallows that have appeared so far, except for the protagonist's bronze ring and Nico's magic book, are all magic items that appear in the original work, or have indirect descriptions.
So it's all going to come later.
This story will end soon, back to the main line again, thank you.
Less than 200 words, no charge. )
