Chapter 75 Death's Gift

Mercury coughed and slowly told the story he knew.

It's the same river, the three brothers and the always-hooded Grim Reaper.

"You escaped death with your ingenuity, choose a reward." Death said.

The boss is a potion master. He told Death that he wanted a magical cauldron: the cauldron can automatically brew any potion he wants without the owner's hands!

Death went to an elder tree on the shore and broke a branch with white flowers.

He walked to the river bank again, dug out the soil with a branch, and took out a strangely shaped cauldron and gave it to the boss.

The second child is a wizard who is hungry for knowledge, and he tells Death that he wants to gain the same wisdom as Death.

So the god of death used the elderberry branch that was digging the soil, wrapped it into a wreath, and gave it to the second child.

The god of death told the second child that after wearing this wreath, he could gain the same knowledge as him.

Death asked the youngest third child what he wanted.

The third child is the most humble and the smartest. He doesn't believe in death, so he wants something that will keep him out of the control of time.

The god of death reluctantly chopped off his right index finger and handed it to him, which was a long index finger bone.

As long as you have this phalanx, you can let the third child control time.

After the reward was given, the god of death stood up to clear the way, allowing the three brothers to continue on their way.

As they walked, they talked about the wonderful experience just now, admiring the gift of death.

Later, the three brothers broke up and moved towards their respective destinations.

The boss walked for more than a week, and he first said to the crucible: "The crucible, the crucible, I am already very old, and my legs and feet are inconvenient. I need the potion of immortality."

Soon, red liquid emerged in the crucible.

After the boss drank it, he really felt that he was several decades younger, and his whole body was full of vigor.

He knew he would never grow old again, he had eternal life!

Later, the eldest brother came to a distant small mountain village, where all the villagers suffered from a strange disease that no one could cure.

The boss boasted that the cauldron he got from the god of death could brew any potion.

He is willing to treat the villagers, but everyone needs to pay large sums of gold.

The wealthy villagers gave all their gold to the boss, and after drinking the potion he gave, they recovered.

Those villagers who have no money, the boss refuses to be treated.

Every night, the eldest drank the potion from the cauldron: the potion of sweet dreams that made him sleep better.

One day in the middle of the night, a poor villager sneaked into the boss's room, stole the cauldron beside his bed, cut his throat, and took the gold.

In this way, Death took the boss's life.

At the same time, the second child returned to his home. He has a newborn child and a beautiful wife.

But the second child is not happy, infinite knowledge, let him master everything. Only he knows the vastness of the universe, the infinity of time and space...

Human beings are nothing, and family affection is nothing, but they are nothing but ants and dust.

Soon, he found that there was something he didn't know, and that was... death.

Death can take all life, but cannot kill himself.

The second child, who has obtained the wisdom of death, has never tasted this kind of taste.

So he killed his wife and children.

One day, the garland was blown away by the strong wind, and the knowledge of the god of death was gone, and he regained his feelings.

Looking at the corpses of his wife and children killed by himself, he was in pain,

So committed suicide.

In this way, the god of death took the life of the second child.

However, the god of death has been looking for the third child for many years, but he has never been able to find him.

It turned out that the third child was afraid of being discovered, so he joined the phalanx end to end to make a phalanx ring, which was kept on his right index finger.

He has been using this phalanx to let himself live the day before he meets the god of death, and never let the next day come, so that the god of death can't find him.

After many years, the third child finally got tired of this kind of life. He had enough to live, so he used the phalanx ring to adjust the time to the day when he was about to die of old age.

The third child finally took off the ring, let the time pass slowly, and then greeted the god of death like an old friend, and left the world with him happily as an equal.

Mercury finally finished the story.

Newt wasn't too surprised and seemed to have heard the story before.

William frowned, his right hand clenched his chest, where a ring was hanging.

- Ravenclaw Bronze Ring!

Regarding the story of the old Bedou version of the God of Death and the three brothers, William didn't touch it too much, just regarded it as a story.

After all, he didn't have the strongest wand, no resurrection stone to resurrect others, and no invisibility cloak.

But he has a ring that can be repeated for a certain day, and there is no drawback to the time-turner.

Too coincidental things, sometimes more than just a coincidence.

So... does it mean that there is also a cauldron that automatically brews all potions, and a wreath of infinite wisdom?

In fact, how does this wreath effect sound so much like a Ravenclaw crown?

Could it be that Ravenclaw once collected two of the three things?

William's thinking quickly diverged: If all of these exist, does it mean that the god of death really exists?

As Newt said: Sirens are the guides of the underworld and the most faithful servants of death.

William really couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, Hermione suddenly said: "Two very interesting little stories, both about Death and the three brothers.

But I think it's just a story, for entertainment.

You also heard that there are already two versions of this story, maybe a third or fourth.

Anyone can freely invent the three gifts of the god of death according to their own ideas. "

Mercury smiled respectfully, "I don't know either. This story was told by my great-grandfather when he was a child."

After a moment of silence, Newt glanced around, they were very close to Nico's manor.

He looked back and said, "That's it, these stories are just an old man's nonsense."

In fact, Dumbledore told him the same thing back then, but it soon proved that he was tricked and went around to help Dumbledore find the Deathly Hallows.

At this moment, a dazed sniff came out of Newt's pocket.

It glanced cautiously at Hermione and William, then on William.

With its unique racial talent, it knows at a glance which of the two little wizards here is richer.

So it sneaked out and kept sneaking along the ptarmigan's feathers, trying to steal Galleon from William's pocket.

It claws into the little pouch of the Traceless Stretching Charm and suddenly grabs something furry.

Niu Niu pulled hard and pulled out an orange cat.

Bobo Tea, who had been sleeping in the bag, was taken aback, it gave the hateful little thief a vicious look, and slapped it with a paw.

Niu Niu screamed and fell down.

William's wand spun, Niu Niu floated up, and the whole body was bound by the binding spell.

Fred kept a sniffler, and William is now very handy with this little guy.

Newt smiled, reaching out and scratching Sniff's belly.

Whoops, lots of glittering things fell out of it.

"This is Nico's alchemy item," Newt sighed and said angrily, "I won't bring you next time!"

William picked up a golden coin in a pile of alchemy items.

- Victoria's Secret Commemorative Coins!

The look William looked at Newt suddenly became extraordinarily strange.

(The third update, I finally made up for the one I owed.)
