Chapter 2647 "Death"
"Miss Granger, how much do you know about Gellert Greenwald?"
When the old butler said these words, his expression was a little hazy.
After all, considering his age, this old man was obviously a witness to that big event that year. For him, many years that may have been very bad have now melted into memorable memories.
At that time, the old butler was probably in his youth. Apart from some bad things, there must have been many good things that happened, right?
"Greenwald?" Hermione continued after a pause, "If it's just the things recorded in writing, I basically still remember... But I think Mr. Steward must be talking about more than just those things. Bar?"
"Ok……"
The old butler had also come to his senses at this time, but he quickly shook his head when he heard her say that.
"In fact, most of the books written about the history of modern magic mention some of it. After all, it's no secret in the wizarding world-you know, Gellert Greenwald's love for death The Hallows have always been obsessed with it, and even took the Deathly Hallows logo as a symbol to represent themselves, making it known to the whole world."
"Ah!" Hermione nodded immediately when she heard the words, "I do know something about the Deathly Hallows. Not only the ones written in the book, but we have actually had close contact with the three very miraculous ones. Magic items..."
"Really?" The old butler nodded slightly, and continued, "Then, Miss Granger must have already known a lot about the stories about the origin of the Deathly Hallows, right?"
"Uh...Mr. Steward means, 'The Tale of the Three Brothers'?" Hermione said, "I read it in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard". However, the stories in that collection are not all just A fable for children? Is it true?"
"Maybe?"
The old butler's tone became a little heavy.
But Hermione couldn't help shaking her head.
"How could it be true?" She frowned. "The story even mentions the god of death, but is there really a god in this world? I think wizards are less convinced than ordinary people." There is a god, isn't there?"
"Of course, of course..." The old butler nodded, "Of course there is no such thing as a 'god' in this world, at least there has never been any evidence to prove it. But stories are stories after all, and legends are just legends after all... Granger Miss, you just said that the story you read is just a bedtime story that parents in the magic world read to their children before going to bed. Of course, many of the details are not true... ...the so-called 'death' is obviously just a layer of skin that writers put on for a character who may have existed in the story to help children understand it."

Having said that, the old butler raised his right hand to cover his forehead and rubbed it lightly a few times, and added with a sigh:
"'That person' probably really existed...at least according to some records that Mr. Patriarch found in my Blois family's collection, the reason why this story has been passed down to this day in the form of a story is because It seems to have happened a long, long time ago!"
After saying this, the old butler stopped for a while and became a little silent.
And not far away, Hermione also fell silent. She obviously thought of something soon, but her face became more and more serious.
Finally, it was she who couldn't bear it first and said:
"Mr. Steward, could it be that you want to say... that 'Witch Kern' is the 'Death God' in the story who made the three Deathly Hallows?"
When the old housekeeper heard this, his expression became more serious.
"According to the ancient books in the family, a female wizard with amazing talent was born in a certain era in the past. This witch has shown extremely high wisdom and ability to comprehend magic since she was a child... Maybe it is because Her 'genius' is different from ordinary people! As she grows up,
Many of her ideas and concepts have also become different from others, so that she has done many things that others would not tolerate. In the end, she was dubbed the title of "Goddess of Death" by other wizards of that era, and most people were afraid of her existence. The 'Rule of Death' that is considered taboo by wizards...and if this witch's name is converted into the current pronunciation, it will be pronounced as 'Ken'. "
Having said that, the old housekeeper paused slightly, looked at Hermione and said, "How about it, do you suddenly feel that if she is the 'Grim Reaper' in that story...then this nickname really couldn't be more appropriate?"
However, Hermione couldn't help shaking her head slightly after hearing it.
"After listening to Mr. Steward's words, I feel that it doesn't seem to matter whether she is the 'Death' in the story or not."
When she had never been exposed to rule magic, Hermione might still be lucky about it, thinking that if she was more careful, then there was more or less a chance of winning—after all, nothing in this world is absolute , isn't it?
However, after really contacting and mastering a certain level of power of rules... the rules of death? That's a third-level rule! A wizard who started to study the third-level rules a long, long time ago, even if she still hasn't improved at all, it is no longer an existence they can face.
Not to mention, is that possible?
Just when Hermione was overwhelmed by the pressure for a while, the old butler continued:
"The ancient document also mentioned that the 'goddess of death' seemed to want to do something through the study of the rules of death, and in the incomplete chapters appeared words such as 'breaking the shackles of life and death' and 'changing the world'. Sentence. Greenwald must have found similar records back then, and he came up with the idea of collecting the Deathly Hallows and using it to make trouble."
"That is to say, does he think the Deathly Hallows is very important...?" Hermione was taken aback. "Could it be that the power that can be exerted by things such as the Elder Wand is stronger than what we know?"
"That shouldn't be the case." The old housekeeper said, "According to the legend, those three magic items should be just tools made by 'Reaper' at will. Maybe they all have very strange abilities, but to be honest How powerful it is... not necessarily."
"Of course, even if the power they can generate is indeed very powerful, it can't help us now-if the facts are as we think, are we really going to wear clothes like Ingnotus in the story? Is the invisibility cloak going to play peek-a-boo with its owner for the rest of its life?"
