In an apartment in Devon, Niko is sitting in an armchair reading a book, and his eyes fall on the mechanical clock by the fireplace from time to time. He is waiting for a friend to visit, but there is no doubt that the other party is late.
For a moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Albus, it's rare for you to be late."
The owner of the apartment opened the door and greeted the old man outside with a smile. Only this old friend could knock on the door of this apartment without touching the defensive magic.
"There are watchdogs." Dumbledore explained why he was late. "Several Muggles were controlled by Imperius. It took me a while to send them away."
"It seems that Voldemort has indeed been eyeing the Philosopher's Stone." Nicol was helpless.
"He never wants to come in, doesn't he?" Perenal greeted him with a smile. The two have lived for hundreds of years, what big scene hasn't been seen?
"Yes, he is still very weak. It is very difficult to break through the protective magic of the periphery." Dumbledore nodded, "However, it is a trouble after all."
For the Le Mays, life has not been greatly affected by this. They rarely go out. Although the elixir made them immortal, their bodies have become fragile due to time.
What happened a month ago, Nicol anticipated the arrival of a threat, so he hurriedly left France and returned to the British apartment protected by the Curse of Fidelity.
The other party did not give up because of this, but still found England all the way, and finally touched his nose in front of the Red Loyalty Curse.
Later, Dumbledore told Nicol that the person looking for them was probably Voldemort, who probably wanted to use the Philosopher's Stone to restore his power.
This is not good news.
The Le Mays need to rely on the elixir made by the Philosopher's Stone to continue to live. Once the Philosopher's Stone is taken away, the lives of the two of them have come to an end.
They contacted Dumbledore, who expressed willingness to help them solve the problem.
Because once Voldemort uses the Philosopher's Stone to restore his power and rise again, the entire magical world may no longer have a peaceful day.
"But, how come you have time to come over, I remember today is the time for the alchemy meeting." Nicol glanced at the purple invitation letter on the fireplace. "Serra probably will be very upset. I promised to meet last time. Go to the party."
"I participated in a few times before, and then I didn't think it was interesting, so I didn't go there anymore." Dumbledore added three sugar cubes to his black tea. "It has been a long time since no new people joined."
"It seems that you haven't paid attention to this matter for a long time. Serra told me that he found a good child, as good as you were." Nicol didn't seem to take Voldemort's matter to heart.
"I know that his name is Albert Anderson, he is a very good kid, very good at ancient magic." Dumbledore did not pay much attention to Albert's affairs, but he still had a deep impression of him. "He It's a bit like me. He often communicates with famous magic masters. Hurtok still suffers a lot from him."
"Hertok?" Nicol thought for a while, and suddenly said, "That's it, it's that kid!"
"Do you know him?" Dumbledore was surprised that Nico knew Albert.
"We met once at the French opera house, and Hertok also asked me to fortune-tell me because of the Jinka matter." Nicol explained.
"Later, what happened to them?" Perenar was more concerned about the result. "Did Hector get his gold card back?"
"Yes, they finally reconciled." Dumbledore smiled. "Hertork helped Mr. Anderson solve the misunderstanding."
"We know where you came, if you really need it, we can give you a Philosopher's Stone." Nicol sighed lightly and brought the topic back. The Philosopher's Stone is too important to them. Once they lose the Philosopher's Stone, it means death and they will not take risks.
Of course, Nicol was also aware of the importance this friend attached to Voldemort, and he didn't mind borrowing Dumbledore.
"This." Perenar placed the Philosopher's Stone in front of Dumbledore.
"This is a fake?" Dumbledore was very surprised, because he had seen the Philosopher's Stone, and the one in front of him was almost the same as the Philosopher's Stone he had seen.
"Yes, this is a failure!" Nicol grinned. "Even if it's you, it can't be differentiated, right." In fact, the success of the Sorcerer's Stone is more from an accident. Even Nico can't replicate it again. Although he created a similar Sorcerer's Stone. , But unable to have the effect of the magic stone.
"That's a good idea." Dumbledore said suddenly after he took the stone and observed it carefully. "However, it is not the time yet."
"It's not time yet?" Nicol repeated puzzledly.
"Yes, it's not the time yet." Dumbledore said: "I need to bring Voldemort out and see what is going on with him now, you know, almost no one can live like him, like a ghost, but not ghost."
"As far as I know, there is a case that echoes what you said." Perenar recalled the past: "According to the record, the despicable Helbo is the first dark wizard on record to make a Horcrux."
"Despicable Helbo?" Nicholas frowned, apparently thinking of bad memories.
"About two hundred years ago, we met him." Perenal's voice drifted further and further, "Hailbo didn't know where he heard about us. He wanted to take away the Sorcerer's Stone. It was so pleasant that we defeated Helbo with the help of some friends~www.mtlnovel.com~ Is Helbo dead?" Dumbledore asked.
"I don't know, maybe it's dead." Nicol shook his head and said: "After that, we never heard from him again."
Horcrux.
Dumbledore naturally knew this mysterious and evil black magic, and there were books related to Horcruxes in the Hogwarts library.
Of course, Dumbledore did not have any evidence to prove that Voldemort made the Horcrux.
Later, in the years when Voldemort disappeared, Dumbledore found traces of Voldemort in the forests of Albania. There were various signs that Voldemort was hit by the rebounding Avada's life spell but he was still alive, probably because of the Horcrux.
This is not a good sign, a wizard with a Horcrux cannot completely kill him if he can't find and destroy the Horcrux.
Ordinary wizards, even if they make Horcruxes, are not very threatening. After their bodies are destroyed, they will only become extremely weak, and they can only live humblely.
But even if a powerful wizard like Voldemort becomes weak, it is only temporary. He can always find many ways to regain his strength.
"What's the matter? Your face is not pretty." Perenal looked at Dumbledore worriedly.
"If it's like that, it's really bad news." Dumbledore sighed. "From what I know about Voldemort, that crazy guy is afraid that he has made more than one Horcrux."
"It's impossible." Nicol frowned, "cutting the soul will make the soul very unstable and create a lot of Horcruxes unless he is crazy."
"Yes, Voldemort is indeed a lunatic, think about the new name he gave himself."
Fly away...death?
