Chapter 4131 4133 [The Truth of the Philosopher's Stone]

In the following months, Xiang Nan has been using the time converter, which greatly increased his available time.

However, there are some taboos in using the time converter.

For example, when using the time converter, multiple Xiang Nans will appear in the same time period. They cannot meet each other, otherwise it will cause trouble.

Because in previous experiments, when people who travel through time meet their previous selves, they often cause chaos, attack each other, and eventually one party is killed.

This will lead to a time paradox, which will lead to greater trouble.

That's why applying for a time converter is so troublesome, and every applicant must ensure that they will use it carefully and not do anything to change history.

If it weren't for Creed helping Xiang Nan apply, and if Xiang Nan's grades were not really excellent, he might not be able to apply for this magic prop.

Therefore, every time Xiang Nan uses a time converter, he will make a plan first.

He divided himself into several identities, one of whom went to class and read books in the library, one of whom practiced magic in the Room of Requirement, and one of whom boiled medicine in the Room of Requirement... He tried to avoid seeing himself and being seen by others...

A few months passed peacefully until the end of the third grade.

...

During this period, Xiang Nan finished reading all the banned books and his knowledge reserve increased greatly.

Among them, the "Yagababa's Witchcraft Notes" he got from the old witch benefited Xiang Nan the most.

Because this banned book not only records a large number of mysterious spells, potions and transfiguration, but also records the refining formula of the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is also known as the Philosopher's Stone. It can turn any metal into pure gold and can also make an elixir of immortality, making people who drink this medicine immortal.

This treasure can not only give people endless wealth, but also give people endless life. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, wizards have been fascinated by it and have been looking for it.

There are many records about the Philosopher's Stone in history, but the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone has always been a secret, and few people know it.

The only remaining Philosopher's Stone in the wizarding world today belongs to the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who also gained super long life and huge wealth with the Philosopher's Stone.

It is said that the French Beauxbatons School of Magic was established with the funding of Nicolas Flamel. But Nicolas Flamel never made the formula for refining the Philosopher's Stone public.

After reading "The Witchcraft Notes of Mother Yaga", Xiang Nan finally knew why he did not publish the formula for refining the Philosopher's Stone.

The reason is also very simple, because the production process of the Philosopher's Stone is extremely evil. Compared with it, the Horcruxes seem pure.

Horcruxes need to kill people to make them, and each Horcrux requires the sacrifice of a life. And refining the Philosopher's Stone requires more than just sacrificing one life, it requires sacrificing thousands of lives.

Because the Philosopher's Stone is made with the essence of human life, one gram of the Philosopher's Stone will cost thousands of lives.

When Nicolas Flamel was refining it, it coincided with the Hundred Years' War between England and France in the 14th century and the great plague in the Middle Ages that swept across Europe.

During the Hundred Years' War, thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield. The great plague caused by the Black Death caused the death of 25 million people in Europe.

It was the sacrifice of these people that provided Nicolas Flamel with sufficient raw materials.

If he dared to publish the formula for refining the Philosopher's Stone, he would be the first dark wizard in history, and the despicable Herpo, Grindelwald, Voldemort and other dark wizards would have to bow down to him.

You must know that Voldemort was so cruel and inhumane, but he only killed a few hundred people.

Of course, Nicolas Flamel was not so evil. He did not kill so many people personally. Those people died in the war and the plague. They were natural disasters and man-made disasters, not caused by him. He just went with the flow.

Even so, people would blame him.

"No wonder that witch killed so many people. It turns out that she also wanted to refine the Philosopher's Stone." Xiang Nan couldn't help thinking.

He had found a lot of human tissue in the witch's bag before. He originally thought that she was going to use these corpses to perform black magic, but now he realized that she wanted to refine the Philosopher's Stone.

"It's really a sin." Xiang Nan cursed, and then gave up the idea of ​​refining the Philosopher's Stone.

In modern society, human life is at stake, and killing one person is already a sin. If you kill tens of millions of people just to live longer, it would be too cruel.

Moreover, there is a very scary setting in the magical world of "Harry Potter", that is, murder will cause the soul to split.

Kill one person, and the soul will split once. If you kill thousands or tens of thousands of people, the soul will be broken into dregs.

Now Snape's soul is in Xiang Nan's body, and he doesn't want his soul to split.

There are many ways to live longer, and he can learn from other worlds in the future. It's really not worth taking such a risk.

...

During this period, Voldemort and the Death Eaters committed several more bloody cases.

During the Christmas holidays, they attacked many Muggle wizard families in Aberdeen, Duffel and Plymouth.

Not only did they use the Avada Kedavra curse to take seven lives, they also used the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse to torture their Muggle neighbors, causing three people to become insane and two people to be seriously injured.

That was not the end. In February, they attacked Swansea and Yorkshire again, killing two Muggle wizards and torturing their Muggle neighbors with spells, again causing three people to become insane and one person to be injured.

During the Easter holidays in April, Coventry and Middlesbrough continued to commit crimes. They created hurricanes and attacked the football stadium in Coventry and the department store in Middlesbrough, causing more than 30 Muggle deaths and injuries...

In June, Voldemort and the Death Eaters attacked the Quidditch match between the Chudley Cannons and the Holyhead Harpies.

In front of hundreds of spectators, they cruelly executed the Holyhead Harpies' batsman, Jason Ashton, a Muggle-born wizard, with the Avada Kedavra Curse.

This move not only shocked hundreds of spectators at the scene, but also shocked the entire wizarding world.

Voldemort and his accomplices began to carry out public activities since 1970, vigorously promoting the "pure blood supremacy" doctrine and attacking Muggle-born wizards.

Until now (1974), four years have passed, but the Ministry of Magic has turned a blind eye, perfunctorily shirking its responsibilities, and not sending anyone to investigate and arrest.

Now Voldemort and his followers are becoming more and more outrageous and cruel, and the Ministry of Magic has not yet figured out their true identities, let alone arresting them, and has even failed to control the public opinion in the Daily Prophet.

As a result, articles supporting the concept of "pure blood supremacy" often appear in newspapers, so the people are really fed up and have stood up to protest, demanding that the Ministry of Magic take concrete actions to crack down on Voldemort and his followers.

The current Minister of Magic, Eugenia Jenkins, was forced to stand up and express that she would take measures to crack down on Voldemort and his followers as soon as possible, and begged the people to give her another chance.
