v5 Chapter 167： death trap

The renovation of the hut is a technical job.

The yard was okay, not too big or too small, and it was suitable for William, Hermione and Anne to have afternoon tea.

Occasionally a few friends, such as Luna and Cedric, are more than enough.

But the area outside the yard needs to be expanded, especially the creek.

William decided to transform it and divide it into two rivers.

The inner layer is still the stream, where all kinds of koi are raised. The outer layer would be like a lake with Horcruxes...it can only be crossed by certain boats.

This is just the inner defense circle, there are other defense mechanisms outside the river.

The one in the restricted area on the fourth floor of the school, William has to copy it again, an enhanced version, right?

Look at Quirrell, but his head was bleeding and he ended up dying inside.

The renovation of the house is a big project, which is related to future safety issues.

I'm afraid it won't work for a year or a half, so for a long time in the future, William will often bring Hermione back.

Less than halfway through their shy and happy life, Nico came to visit the hut.

This was a long-appointed meeting. William and Hermione stood at the door and waited before the time arrived.

Soon, the stream swirls and bubbles up like a fountain.

After a while, the golden toad submarine jumped out of the water, fell into the yard, and quickly grew in size.

The hatch was opened, and Nico walked out slowly.

He was wearing a charcoal turtleneck, tweed jacket, yellow khakis, and preppy cordovan piluffs.

Nico is not like a wizard at all, more like an elegant old professor in the university.

"Good afternoon, children."

Nicole leaned on a cane of ivy wood in his left hand, and stretched out his dry right hand forward.

"Long time no see, Nico." William reached out and shook his hand.

Hermione stood beside William and smiled, "Hello, Nico."

"Oh, Hermione...you're getting more and more radiant." Nico smiled. "William didn't bully you, did he?"

"No... it was me who bullied him!" Hermione said playfully.

"Yes, this is really a good hobby." Nico blinked and chuckled, "Keep it up."

Hermione raised her chin and said very childishly at William, "Did you hear that?"

William just grinned.

Nico pulled out a black package.

"This is my Christmas present for both of you...it took some thought."

William took the package and opened it to find two pure black robes.

It's cold and silky, like an invisibility cloak.

"Flying cloak, you made it?" William asked in surprise while touching the robe.

"Yeah." Nico looked at the two robes in his hand with satisfaction, and said:

"Using the dementors and Voldemort you gave, follow the steps in the alchemy book. Although the process is a bit tedious, it is finally made."

Nico is worthy of being an alchemist. As long as there are materials, there is no magic item that he cannot create.

William is far from that.

Hermione was holding the flying cloak, and she couldn't put it down, ready to take a low-altitude test flight in the yard for a while.

William took Niko into the study.

The study is on the third floor, with two rooms.

The big one was expanded a lot with the Traceless Stretching Charm, like a small library.

There are a lot of magic books on the shelves inside. All of them were seen or collected by William and Hermione over the years.

Through a delicate double door, you enter another room, which is the study.

Three chandeliers hanging from the ceiling illuminate the room, which is beautifully decorated.

Both Hermione and Annie added quite a few suggestions.

The most obvious manifestation: a huge birch table with three positions on the oak floor.

William, Hermione and Anne's.

Originally, William thought that only one would be enough, but Hermione and Annie were not satisfied, so they added two more...it became such a strange appearance.

A clock with colorful lights hangs on the table, the calibration score is accurate, the light source travels endlessly along the preset color spectrum, completes a circle every six hours, and strictly follows the planetary time table.

There is also a picture frame hanging on the wall of the room. Soon, a portrait of Dumbledore appeared inside.

"Hello, Albus." Nico greeted casually.

The portrait in the portrait was exactly the same as Dumbledore, but with a dull expression, he just nodded slightly, then turned and left.

"It's not quite the same, is it?"

Nicole said, and sat down on the velvet couch by the window.

"The principal is too busy to have time to properly tune his portrait." William sat down beside him.

If the portrait wants to have the same temperament as his own, he must be repeatedly trained by the wizard, and he must be immersed in it year by year.

William poured Nico a cup of black tea, and the old man just took a sip, and couldn't wait to pull out a book made of delicate smooth bark.

- The alchemy book!

In fact, since the manor was built, Nico has not taken the book away from the manor.

This is the first time.

Niko can open this book with three sets of contents with his hands like bark.

The first group contains all the alchemy items that have appeared in the magic world.

The second group has the method of making the Deathly Hallows.

In the third group, there will be alchemy items that have not appeared in the magic world.

And this book, in groups of seven pages, is divided into three groups.

On the seventh page of the first set, there is a drawing of a wand swallowed by a python, and on the seventh page of the second set, a goblet is drawn.

Slytherin's wand, still missing, waiting for little Tom to lead the way.

And William already has the Goblet - the Holy Grail - which unlocks the third set of content.

He gently took the heavy goblet of fire out of the box and slowly lifted it up.

"What do I need to do, get close to the alchemy book?"

"Yes, put it on this." Nico turned the alchemy book to the page of the goblet.

William put the Holy Grail on it, he let go of his hand, and the goblet was automatically suspended in the air, stable and not falling.

The originally dark picture suddenly lit up and shone brightly.

The content of the third volume is spread out like a book of death written by the **** of death.

The phantoms of countless alchemy items flickered in the air, each one of them lifelike, like a holographic projection.

Nico stared at the magnificent picture scroll, his eyes were burning, he reached out and grabbed the alchemy book, but the phantoms quickly overlapped with the thought.

The alchemy book has regained its bark appearance again.

He turned to the third volume again and read it silently in his heart, only to see a lot of handwriting appearing, interspersed with many pictures.

Niko flipped through the pages quickly, completely immersed in it. He quickly saw the end, but was stunned, sighed in surprise, and leaned back on the chair.

"Oops, William, we've become... the eldest of three brothers."

William frowned and took the book from Nico.

The Philosopher's Stone can extend life, but it cannot be immortal, which William has long known.

After all, flesh and blood... mortal bodies don't last forever.

Nico, who is more than 600 years old, is already as old as the bark of a tree.

In his condition, even if he refines a few more magic stones, he can only live to be a thousand years old at most.

The alchemy book creates the magic stone, which can brew elixir to prolong life.

Nico is trying to refine a new alchemical item that can reverse the aging of the body and restore youthfulness.

As long as you have these two things, you can achieve eternal life.

But there is no such thing in the magic world, at least it has not appeared before. Now, after opening the contents of the third volume, it is possible to make this kind of thing.

Did William and Nicole succeed?

Of course it worked.

The Alchemy Book provides a new alchemical item, and how it is crafted.

- Azot.

The book is written in ancient runes William doesn't seem to have much trouble.

According to the description in the book, Azot corresponds to the Philosopher's Stone and is a universal solvent and elixir.

It makes material transformation possible, rejuvenates the body, and heals all wounds.

But here comes the problem... In the story of the Three Brothers, the eldest makes the Philosopher's Stone.

In the alchemy book, there is only the method of refining the magic stone, but it does not tell him how to brew the elixir of life.

Even if William and Nico made Azot, they couldn't make the rejuvenation medicine.

Because, they don't have a cooking step.

The trap of death... has appeared again.
