v2 Chapter 80： Holy Grail

Aesop Searle was a witch of the seventeenth century, three hundred years ago.

A long time ago, she was also a legendary wizard who founded the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

This kind of witch wants to hide things, which is difficult for others to find.

In fact, the Gaunts were still trying to retrieve Slytherin's wand until its demise.

Of course, in the later period, it was purely an act of touching porcelain. The poor Gaunt family wanted to extort a large sum of gold from the Ilvermorny School of Magic and return to the rich life of their ancestors.

Make money, touch porcelain, not shabby!

But of course this kind of touch porcelain has to be "broken".

For Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Gaunt's shabby settlement is like a waning empire, encountering a beacon country with rising national fortunes.

If you don't blow your head off, let you cry!

At this time in the room, Nicole May continued to speak.

"After failing to pursue the wand, I set my sights on the Goblet of Death."

His eyes were piercing, with a mysterious brilliance.

"This cup has more clues than Slytherin's wand, but it is also difficult to distinguish between true and false because of too many clues.

Later, after my continuous investigation, I found that this goblet has another name, you should have heard of it - the Holy Grail. "

Nico took William and slowly walked towards a certain room.

They walked through a sumptuous marble-clad hall into a beautifully furnished room, where tassels of Victorian lamps cast soft light.

The air smelled of dust—a mix of paint, incense, and the earthy smell of stone buildings.

William looked up. It turned out that on the wall of the room, there were various murals and paintings, all of which were made by famous artists.

Nico walked in front and said with a smile:

"In the Muggle story, **** had a dinner with his twelve disciples the night before his crucifixion.

Jesus took the goblet and passed it to his disciples in turn to share the wine.

The glass does not need to be poured, and it will automatically flow out delicious wine. On the third day after **** died, he was resurrected again. "

"The goblet, the cup that produces fine wine, resurrected after three days, does this story feel familiar?" Nico's voice echoed in the room.

William nodded slightly, he had indeed heard the story of the Holy Grail.

When I was in the orphanage in my previous life, the orphaned old aunt next door often went to the single old pastor to pray on Sundays, and it was a day.

William often heard stories about the Lord from her.

But William is more familiar with the "Holy Grail War", and... Rinmei.

Wait, it's also a magical world, why is there no magic in this world? ! The kind of liquid exchange.

hateful!

Nicole didn't notice William's distraction, he walked through the floor-to-ceiling windows towards the corner.

"After **** died, Joseph of Arimathea buried him and brought the Holy Grail to Britain. You must have heard the story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

Galahad, one of the Knights of the Round Table, once used the magical power of the Holy Grail to heal the dying king.

Later, Galahad gave the Holy Grail to Merlin. "

Nicole finally stopped, and in front of them was a giant painting.

"This is Merlin, and he's standing in the center of the painting," Nicole explained.

"Did you see that he was dressed in a white robe, with twelve Knights of the Round Table standing beside him, and beside Merlin, there was a rough wooden goblet."

"This is the Merlin Memorial Hall?" Looking at the hall in the giant painting, William wondered.

During the summer vacation, he participated in the award ceremony of the Merlin Medal here, so he has a deep memory.

A smile appeared on Niko's face: "Yes, Merlin hid the Holy Grail here, but then disappeared again, and I already... almost know where it is."

Nico made two chairs, on which he sat comfortably. "My story is almost finished. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask."

"Death...where is he?" William asked curiously.

"Kid, you are stumbling me with this question." Nico laughed: "But I also have guesses about how to find the **** of death.

For example, Siren is the most loyal servant of the **** of death. If you find the island where she lives, you may be able to find the **** of death. "

"So going to the Mermaid tribe?" William blinked.

"William, give you a piece of advice, don't try to find the **** of death." Nico smiled with a serious expression.

"why?"

"Before answering this question, let me ask you a few small questions."

William nodded.

Nico asked, "How many people have seen Death in the stories you heard?"

"Three Brothers."

"Very well, then, after they received the gift of the **** of death, how many people survived?"

"One..." William frowned, "You mean, to see the **** of death, three people must set out together, and in the end only one person can survive?"

"William, I'm just guessing." Nico sighed slightly, "The bridge represents the trial of the **** of death. After completing the trial, you can see him.

The three brothers represent that there are only three people in the trial, and these three people are either related by blood or as close as brothers.

Either way, are you willing to sacrifice two people in exchange for a so-called Deathly Hallows? "

William shook his head without hesitation. "I don't want to!"

He is definitely not willing to use the lives of his sister Anne, or the lives of Hermione, Cedric, Qiu, twin brothers and others in exchange for the so-called Deathly Hallows.

"So I'd rather you never find Death." Nico smiled contentedly.

"Then why are you looking for the Deathly Hallows?"

"No one wants nothing Even Albus is no exception." Nico sighed, "He is also looking for one of these items."

"And I collect the Deathly Hallows, I don't want to be the master of the **** of death, and I don't want to get so powerful. I just want to unlock the book of Abraham and live well."

"Didn't you already refine the magic stone?"

"Child, the story has already told us that the Philosopher's Stone cannot live forever." Nico laughed, "It's just a necessary magic material for the elixir of life."

"Also, the magic stone can't be used forever. When one stone runs out of mana, the second one must be refined.

And the brewing of the elixir is not entirely without cost. "

William thought about Nicole May's words. It turned out that the Philosopher's Stone is not omnipotent. He thought that if the stone was soaked in water, he could make elixir in batches.

He pondered for a moment, then asked, "Do you want to live forever?"

"No one can live forever, unless it's the **** of death." Nico looked at the night sky outside the window in a daze.

"But I hate endings, anything that has to do with endings.

When I read novels, I usually don’t watch the ending. I never watch the ending of a Muggle TV series. I don’t send friends away, and I don’t even attend other people’s funerals…

And I don't want to end my story right now, I just want to take a good look at the world. "

Nico closed his eyes slowly.

"Albus used to say that death is also a great adventure."

"Yes, this sentence is of course true, but I haven't seen enough of these scenery, and I don't want to leave here."

"Isn't that what life is about to experience what you haven't experienced, don't you think, William?"

William shook his head. "Niko, to be honest, I don't even know the meaning of life right now."
