Chapter 163 Christmas Ball (5)(1/2)
The transformation of the cottage is a technical job,
The yard is fine, not too big or small, just for afternoon tea with William, Hermione and Anne.
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 stream.
William decided to transform it and divide it into two rivers inside and outside.
The inner layer is still the same stream, and various koi are raised. The outer layer will be like a lake with harem hidden... and can only be crossed through a specific boat.
This is just an internal defense circle, and there are other defense mechanisms outside the river.
William has to copy the set of the school’s fourth-floor restricted area, so let’s get an enhanced version?
Look at Quirrell, but his head was bleeding and he died in the end.
The renovation of the house is a big project, which is related to future safety issues.
It may not work within a year or two, so William will often bring Hermione back in the future for a long time.
Nearly halfway through this shameless and impatient and happy two, Nico came to visit the cottage.
This was a meeting that had been agreed upon. William and Hermione stood at the door and waited before time arrived.
Soon, whirlpools appeared in the stream, and bubbles appeared, like fountains.
After a moment, the golden toad submarine jumped out from under the water, landed in the yard, and then quickly became larger.
The hatch door was opened and Nico slowly walked out.
He wore a charcoal-black collar sweater, a tweed jacket, yellow khaki pants, and academic Cordova leather-louver shoes.
Nico is not like a wizard at all, but more like an elegant old professor in the university.
"Good afternoon, kids."
Nico leaned on a green vine wooden cane in his left hand and stretched out his dry right hand forward.
"Long time no see, Nico." William reached out and shook him.
Hermione stood beside William and smiled, "Hello, Nico."
"Oh, Hermione...you are getting more and more brilliant." Nico smiled. "William didn't bully you, right?"
"No...I'm all bullying him!" Hermione said wisely.
"Yes, this is a really good hobby." Nico blinked and chuckled, "Keep going."
Hermione raised her chin and said proudly at William with a childish look: "Did you hear it?"
William just grinned.
Nico took out a black parcel.
"This is my Christmas gift for you two... I've spent some time."
William took the package and took it apart, and found that it was two pure black robes.
It's cool and silky, like an invisible cloak.
"You made the flight cloak?" William said in surprise, touching his robe.
"Yes." Nico looked at the two robes in his hand with satisfaction and said:
"Use the dementors and volley bats you gave them to follow the steps of the alchemy book. Although the process was a little more cumbersome, it was finally made."
Niko is worthy of being an alchemist. As long as there are materials, there are no magical items that he cannot make.
William is still far from this.
Hermione held the flying cloak and couldn't let go of it. She was ready to test flights at a low altitude in the yard for a while.
William took Nico and entered the study.
The study room is on the third floor and the rooms are divided into two rooms.
The large one has expanded a lot with the traceless stretching spell, like a small library.
There are a large number of magic books placed on the shelf inside. They are all seen or collected by William and Hermione over the years.
Through an exquisite double-opening door, you can enter another room, and this is the study.
Three chandeliers hanging from the ceiling shine on the room, and the room is decorated in a beautiful way.
Hermione and Anne both added a lot of suggestions.
The most obvious manifestation is that there are huge birch tables on the oak floor, with three positions.
They are William, Hermione and Anne's.
Originally, William thought there was only one, but Hermione and Anne were not satisfied, so they added two more... and turned into such a strange appearance.
A colorful light clock is hung on the table, and the calibration score is not bad every second. The light source travels around the preset chromatography, walking every six hours, strictly following the planetary time table.
There was also a picture frame hanging on the wall of the room. Soon, Dumbledore's portrait appeared inside.
"Hello, Abuth." Nico greeted casually.
The portrait in the portrait was exactly the same as Dumbledore, but he looked a little dull. He just nodded slightly and turned around and left.
“It’s not quite similar, right?”
Nico said, sitting down on the velvet couch beside the window.
"The principal is too busy and has no time to train his portrait." William sat down next to him.
If the portrait is like his own temperament, he must be repeatedly trained by a wizard and be influenced by him year by year.
William poured Nico a cup of black tea, and the old man couldn't wait to take out a book made of exquisite smooth bark.
——Alchemy book!
In fact, since the manor was built, Nico has not taken this book away from the manor.
This is the first time.
Ni can use his bark-like hand to open this book with three sets of contents.
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, alchemy items that have not appeared in the magic world before will appear.
This book is divided into three groups based on seven pages.
On the seventh page of the first group, there is a magic wand swallowed by a giant python, and on the seventh page of the second group, there is a goblet.
Slytherin's wand is still missing, waiting for little Tom to lead the way.
And William has already obtained the goblet - the Holy Grail - to unlock the third set of content.
He gently took out the heavy goblet of flame from the box and slowly lifted it up.
"What do you 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, and he let go of his hand, and the goblet was hanging automatically, steadily without falling.
The originally dark pictures suddenly lit up and shone brightly.
The content of the third volume is spread out like a book of death written by the God of Death.
The phantoms of countless alchemy objects flashed in the air, one by one, like a holographic projection.
Nico stared at the magnificent scroll with his eyes burning. He reached out to grab the alchemy book. Just as the thoughts came, the phantom overlapped quickly.
Alchemy books have returned to their bark again.
He turned to the third volume again and recited it silently in his mind. A large number of handwriting appeared, mixed with many pictures.
Nico quickly read it and was completely immersed in it. He soon saw the end, but was stunned, sighed in surprise, and leaned on the chair dejectedly.
"Oh, William, we're the boss among the three brothers."
William frowned and took the book from Nico.
The Philosopher's Stone can extend life, but cannot live forever, which William has known for a long time.
After all, the flesh and blood body... the body of a mortal will not last forever.
Nico, who is over 600 years old, has long been as old as a tree bark.
With his condition, even if he refines a few more magic stones, he will only live to a thousand years at most.
Alchemy books create magic stones that can boil elixirs to prolong life.
Nico is trying to refine a new alchemy item that can reverse physical aging and restore youth.
As long as these two things are present, eternal life can be achieved.
But this kind of thing has not appeared in the magic world, at least it has not appeared before. Now, by opening the contents of the third volume, you can make this kind of thing.
To be continued...
