Three days later, when Wen came to pick up Qiu, Mr. Zhang was still angry.
He never expected that this kid could stretch his hands so long, and even his immediate boss could be affected.
Even though he knew that he would be promoted soon, he still couldn’t be grateful to Wayne.
Mrs. Zhang is very open-minded about this. Women’s perspective on problems is fundamentally different from men’s.
She felt that Wayne had put in so much effort in order to spend Christmas with Qiu, which was enough to see his intentions. She just said a few words to Wayne indifferently and let the two of them leave.
Standing on the side of the road, Qiu felt a little excited.
“How are we going to get there?”.
“Have you ever made a knight bus?”Wen asked.
Qiu shook his head slightly:”I’ve only heard of it, but I’ve never had the chance.”
“Let’s try it today.”Ven took out his magic wand and shook it. Soon, a bus arrived in front of the two of them at an incredible speed.
Curious to explore, Qiu followed up behind Ven……
Devon.
In a small village in West Devon, a bus suddenly appeared, then braked suddenly and stopped at the entrance of the village.
A young man led a pale girl out of the car.
“Welcome to ride the Knight Bus next time.”The conductor said goodbye warmly, and then the car ran wildly into the distance.
“I regret. Qiu resisted the urge to vomit:”This is simply a rampage. I thought there was going to be a car accident several times.””
“Once you sit there once, you won’t think about it again.”Wein smiled and took Qiu aside to rest for a while. After adjusting, they entered the village.
There was only one main road in the whole village. The two of them went to the end of the road and came to a small house. In front of us.
The house is in dilapidated condition, with a rusty lock hanging on the door. The dilapidated condition of the house makes people wonder whether the lock is still necessary.
“Is this Nicoléme’s home?”
Qiu couldn’t believe that the greatest alchemist in history would actually live in such a place.
“This is just a transit point.”
Wayne opened the door with magic. There was only an entire room in the house, without dividing any functional areas. It looked empty. The only object in the whole room was an old wall clock hanging on the wall.
“hold my hand.”Wein said to Qiu. The girl grabbed his arm tightly, and then he used his other free arm to set the clock on the wall to one-thirty-six.
One-thirty-three-six, which happened to be Ni But the year he was born, the wall clock suddenly spun at high speed, creating a strong suction force that sucked them both in.
When Qiu regained consciousness, the two of them had already appeared in a corridor full of classical atmosphere..A house elf suddenly appeared in front of them and bent down deeply:
“Master Lawrence, Gui’an”
“Nabi, long time no see. Wayne greeted with a smile, and then introduced:”This is Qiu Zhang, my girlfriend.” Nabi immediately saluted Qiu respectfully:”Dear lady, my name is Nabi, and I am the house elf responsible for the master’s daily life and entertainment.””
“Hello Nabi.”Qiu also greeted him.
“Where’s Nico? Are Newt and the others here?”Wayne asked again.
“Mrs. Scamander is enjoying the opera with the hostess, and Mr. Scamander is chatting with the hostess on the terrace.”
“Then take us there.”
The house elf led the way, and the two soon arrived at the east terrace on the third floor of the house, where they met Nico and Newt.
“You finally came.”
When she saw the boy, Nico laughed and laughed,”We just said when can you arrive?”
“Is this Qiu Zhang?”As he said this, Nico stretched out his hand and smiled kindly:”Hello, kid.”
“Hello Mr. Flamel.”Qiu stretched out her hand nervously and shook it cautiously.
Wayne had told her before coming here that she must handle Nico’s hand with care, otherwise she might break his bones if she’s not careful.
“Like Wayne, just call me Nico.” Nico responded gently and asked the two of them to sit down.
Qiu had met Newt at the Pig’s Head Bar before, so there was no need to introduce him again.
“Where’s Luo Fu, didn’t you say you wanted to bring him here before?”
Ven looked at it. Nabi only mentioned the Newts just now. It seemed that Rolf didn’t come over.
“Taken away by his parents, he went to Liechtenstein.”When it came to this, Newt seemed a little dissatisfied:”We clearly agreed to let Rolf spend Christmas with us, but then he went back on his word.”
Well, it was a standard scene of a grandpa competing with his parents for their children. Wayne shrugged and didn’t know how to comfort him.
However, Newt himself adjusted quickly. After complaining for a few words, he changed the topic to the recent Hogwarts.
“Just catching a fugitive, sending out so many dementors is really a big fuss.”
Nico commented:”If you want to avoid being hunted by dementors, there are actually many ways. Occlumency, Animagus, and many black magic can do this.”
“It’s just causing unnecessary trouble to others.”
“Nico, you are the only one who can say it so easily. Newt smiled and said:”Facing Dementors, many people can’t even use magic, so how can they think of these methods.””
These people are all big bosses in the magic world, so they can talk about things so easily.
After learning that the two of them came on the Knight Bus, they chatted briefly for a while, and Nico thoughtfully asked Qiu and Wayne to go first. It was time to rest.
Nabi took them to the room, Qiu went to catch up on his sleep, and Wayne used this time to walk around the manor. The style of this manor is completely different from that of Paris, which is Roman. The style manor tends to be noble, just like the palace of an ancient noble.
But here it is���Country style, more life-like atmosphere.
Wayne found the pasture and released the unicorn, panda, and many little guys.
The golden figure flashed past, and Newt, who was accompanying him, said in surprise:”Golden Snitch?”
“Hagrid gave it to me. Wayne looked at the golden thread that appeared as the Golden Snidget crossed the sky:”How is it? I raised it pretty well, right?””
“It’s pretty good.”Newt nodded involuntarily.
Whether the Golden Snitch is healthy or not depends purely on its flying speed. Wayne’s one is so fast that he can’t even see clearly.
“It’s a pity that this is the only one.”Wayne shook his head regretfully and hinted crazily:
“It would be great if someone could give me another one to make a male and a female.”
Even though Inuit had a good temper, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
“I found that your hobbies are quite unique, and you raise all very cruel animals….”
Thunderbirds, unicorns, iron-eating beasts, and Golden Snidgets are all extremely rare magical animals that are listed in the protection regulations.
Wayne also complained:”Do you want to look at your Winged Demon and Poison Leopard before you say this?”
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere fell into a strange silence.
This eldest brother, please stop laughing at your second brother.
Soon, the old and the young reached a consensus.
As a Hufflepuff, it’s understandable to keep a few cute little animals……….
When it was almost time to eat, Wayne called Qiu up.
The girl took a good nap and looked much better.
Everyone came to the dining table and sat down, and another introduction was made. Qiu was a little nervous at first, but under the care of Tina and Mrs. Perenal, she quickly became relaxed.
“Eat more, these are all your favorites.”
Mrs. Perenal smiled and pushed two plates of French baked snails and foie gras in front of Wayne. Wayne was not polite and did not refuse the kindness of his elders.
“It hasn’t been this lively for a long time.”Perenal also lamented.
After living for more than six hundred years, she and Nico had no interest in celebrating holidays at all, and even celebrated their birthdays with weird behaviors like pretending to be dead.
But today, it is rare for the two old people to Feeling the festive atmosphere.
The dinner ended with a classic bouillabaisse, and everyone came to the living room to chat and kill time.
Because he knew in advance that Qiu was coming, Nico also prepared a gift for her
“Broomstick Stabilizer. Nico took out something similar to a watch:”I heard that you like Quidditch. This gadget can make your broom fly more smoothly, and it also complies with the rules of the game.””
“We’re not as rich as Nico.”Tina smiled and asked Newt to bring a box.
“This is a jewelry box made of dragon scales. I hope you like it.”
The appearance of the box does not match, but there is space inside, divided into several categories for easy storage and organization. When it comes to the traceless extension spell, the Scamander family is worthy of being experts in this field. With Wayne’s approval, Qiu Cai was flattered and collected the gifts.
Whether it was an alchemy product made by Nicoléme himself or a box decorated with real dragon scales, they were extremely precious things to the outside world.
At this moment, Qiu Cai felt, The elders of the two families really regarded Wayne as their close descendant. They were so in love with each other that they gave her such an expensive gift.
After a while, Mrs. Perenal went to rest, and the Newts also left. Living room.
Wayne asked Qiu to go back to the room first, and now he and Nico were the only ones left in the living room.
Nico asked first:”What can’t you let Newt know?””
He received Wayne’s look just now, but when he saw that he was the only one staying, he was also curious.
Wayne explained:”It’s not that I want to hide it from the senior, but the less people know about this, the better, so don’t give it to him. Cause trouble”
“Then you are not afraid of troublesome me?”Nico teased him.
“Those who can do more work.”Wayne grinned, took out a dragon skin bag, controlled the crown to fly out, and placed it on the table.
Seeing how cautious he was, Nico’s expression became much more serious, and he looked at the crown seriously.
With more than six hundred With years of knowledge reserves, and the line of writing on the lower edge of the crown, he quickly made a guess, and said in shock:”Could it be from Ravenclaw?”…”
·· ······Asking for flowers 0 ····
“Yes, it’s Ravenclaw’s diadem. Wayne nodded.
Nico’s eyes widened and he stood up excitedly:”Where did you find it? Are you sure?””
He is the greatest alchemist recorded in history.
But there are some things that he, or alchemy, cannot do.
For example, the legendary ability of the crown to increase wisdom.
Through magic potions and alchemy, you can It can enhance a person’s memory and mental concentration, but it cannot improve a person’s wisdom. It will never be possible to turn a fool like Crabbe Gore into Voldemort.
But the legendary Ravenclaw crown has such an effect.
Although It’s not that exaggerated, but the effect is indeed fundamentally different from alchemy.
“Found it in school.”Wayne understood Nico’s excitement, but still stood between him and the crown.
“I can guarantee that this is true. If a fake is made into a Horcrux, then Voldemort will be too weak.”
“Horcrux?”Nico’s expression changed, and he trotted forward.
Without touching him, he observed carefully for a long time. He used his wand to fire a magic wand and wrapped it around the crown before finally confirming…
Everything Wayne said is true
“What a waste! What a waste of resources!”
Nico was rarely angry:”He actually used the filthiest black magic to defile such a treasure!”
“Who can understand a psychopath? Wayne shook his head slightly:”Perhaps, he thinks that making the crown into a Horcrux is still an honor.”
“What a lunatic.”
Originally, Nico didn’t have much feelings for Voldemort. It was just the Dark Lord. He had seen a lot in his life.
0…………….
But now his view has changed.
Even among the many evil dark wizards, Voldemort is the sickest one.
“I came to you just to see if you could destroy the soul fragment inside without damaging the crown.”
Nico showed a troubled look:
“very difficult…”
“This is one of the important reasons why Horcruxes are called the most evil form of black magic.”
“The soul and the item are completely integrated together, regardless of each other, you can see them as a whole”
“Want to destroy only the soul fragments inside without damaging the crown…I have to think about it.”
Nico sighed:”Many ordinary items have become indestructible after being made into Horcruxes, and can only be destroyed by a few methods.”
“Have you met other dark wizards who make horcruxes?”Wayne asked curiously
“There is no shortage of people in the world who pursue eternal life, and even I am one of them.”Nico nodded slightly,”It’s just that I was luckier and made the magic stone.”
“As for Horcruxes, I once destroyed one with my own hands”
“What means were used?”
“Li Huo. Nico said calmly:”But obviously, we can’t use this method on the crown. Even if you agree, I don’t agree either.””
“As you wish.”Wayne shrugged, as if he was throwing away the shopkeeper:”Anyway, I have already handed the things to you.”
“Just know how to cause trouble for me.”Nico scolded, but looking at the wrinkles on his face, you can tell that the old man is not disgusted with such trouble. If he has the opportunity to study the legendary wizard’s relic, the more trouble he has, the better.
But naturally, Nico cannot let Wei En is so relaxed:”You can be my assistant these days, your alchemy has not improved for a long time.”
Wayne smiled awkwardly.
“There is still some progress, but it is not a traditional field, as you will know later.”
Human energy is limited after all. Wayne admitted that when his strength reached the level of a great wizard, he did slack off. There is no one in this world who can threaten his life. With the Phoenix King, he can live forever..
Living in a non-threatening environment, it is natural for people to be relaxed.
But Nico has said so, he naturally has to cheer up and cannot let him down……..
In the next two days, the two first conducted a comprehensive inspection of the crown.
Sure enough, in addition to turning the crown into a Horcrux, the despicable Voldemort also set up a secret and vicious black magic on it.
If anyone puts the crown on his head, his mind will be disturbed, he will have the desire for violence and killing, and he will turn into a humanoid beast.
In order to break this curse, Nico specially prepared an ancient potion called a cleansing potion, which can purify most of the effects of black magic.
Unfortunately, it has no effect on the soul fragments in the Horcrux.
The crown needed to be soaked in the potion for two days and two nights.
When Nico prepared the potion, he placed the crown in a stone basin filled with solution.
Time also came to Christmas Eve unknowingly.
The old man said to Wayne:”Let’s go, don’t let Perenal and the others wait too long. It’s time to talk to me later.””
“OK.”
The two walked out of the laboratory and closed the door tightly.
