Chapter 623 The Legend of the Three Brothers, the Traced Deathly Hallows (1/2)

Chapter 623 The legend of the three brothers, the traceable Deathly Hallows

'Gandalf' silently activated the detection magic, sensing the situation within a ten-kilometer radius with the Lovegood family as the center.

After a moment, he frowned, because he did not find Luna, which means that there was no such thing as Luna fishing by the stream as Xenophilius said.

Xenophilius deceived them, but why?

"You three better stay together and make sure you can contact each other at any time."

"Why?" Ron asked puzzled.

"It's convenient for Apparition." 'Gandalf' said bluntly, "I hope I'm overthinking."

"Sir, what do you mean?" Hermione swallowed hard, "Lovegood, will he betray us?"

"Not sure, but just in case, it's always right to be careful."

The three exchanged glances and sat together nervously.

'Gandalf' carefully observed the entire room. After pondering for a while, he walked to the printing press and lifted the tablecloth on it.

The latest issue of The Quibbler appeared in front of him, with a photo of Harry Potter on the cover, the title "Number One Undesirable", and a reward of 10,000 Galleons below.

"Tsk!" 'Gandalf' smacked his lips, "This is really unexpected!"

At this time, footsteps came from outside the house, and 'Gandalf' immediately covered the tablecloth, picked up the staff and sat on a chair as if nothing had happened.

"Sir?" Harry opened his mouth hesitantly.

'Gandalf' stretched out his hand to interrupt, signaling them not to act rashly.

Xenophilius walked in, and he placed a tray in front of several people, on which were five teacups and a steaming teapot.

"Gordigan tea, we made it ourselves." Xenophilius picked up the teapot and poured out five cups of dark purple liquid, "Try it, I believe you will like it."

Hearing this, Harry and the other two were at a loss, not knowing what to do.

They all received the hint from ‘Gandalf’ that Mr. Lovegood must have a problem. What if he poisoned the tea?

This worry is definitely not unnecessary. Bathilda Bagshot of Godric’s Hollow was possessed by Nagini and almost killed them. Who knows what means Lovegood will use? Besides, this tea looks quite improper.

‘Gandalf’ didn’t care and took a sip of the teacup.

“Tsk! This taste...”

“How does it taste?”

“Very special.” ‘Gandalf’ gave Harry and the other two a reassuring look, and the three of them picked up the teacup and drank it, and then their expressions twitched slightly.

This taste is not special, but weird, like the juice squeezed from multi-flavored beans.

Xenophilius' eyes flashed with shame, and then he sat down and said while drinking tea: "Luna should be back soon. She caught enough fish to make a pot of fish soup for everyone.

So, what can I do for you, Mr. Potter?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at 'Gandalf'.

"Why are you looking at me? Ask whatever you want to ask quickly, don't forget that we are in a hurry."

Harry understood instantly, opened Dumbledore's "The Tales of Beedle the Bard", pointed to a triangular pattern on it, "We are here to ask you about this symbol."

"Are you talking about this?" Xenophilius pointed to the ornaments made of triangles, circles, and thin lines on his chest.

"Yes, that's it.

We want to know what it is?"

"Really want to know? This is the symbol of the Deathly Hallows."

"What?"

"It's normal that you don't know." Xenophilius said, "Few wizards believe this. It was once considered the symbol of a famous dark wizard. It's really ignorant.

People just use this symbol to show themselves to other believers, hoping to get help on their quest."

"Can you tell me more?" 'Gandalf' asked.

"I think you have all heard the legend of the three brothers!"

"I have heard it." Hermione and Ron said in unison.

Harry shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."

"You haven't heard of it?" Xenophilius looked at Harry in confusion, "This story is in The Tales of Beedle the Bard!"

"Uh... sir, that book belongs to Hermione, I only know a sign."

"I see." Xenophilius nodded, "Miss Granger, can you tell us a story?"

"Sure." Hermione turned to the part about the three brothers in The Tales of Beedle the Bard, "Once upon a time there were three brothers, traveling on a remote goat path, dusk fell."

"It was midnight." Ron interrupted, "My mother always said so."

"That only means your mother remembered it wrong." 'Gandalf' snorted, "Is Mrs. Weasley's story more accurate than the book?"

"Don't worry about these insignificant details, sir." Xenophilius glanced out the window inconspicuously, and only retracted his gaze when he saw a black crow flying away, "Hermione, continue!"

"As dusk fell, they came to a river. The river was too fast and they couldn't wade across.

But the three brothers had all learned magic. They waved their wands and a bridge was built.

But just as they were about to cross the bridge, a cloaked man blocked them.

It was the Grim Reaper. He felt fooled because passers-by would usually drown in this river.

But the Grim Reaper was very cunning. He pretended to praise the magic of the three people, saying that they escaped the Grim Reaper with their intelligence, and everyone should Get a reward. "

"The eldest wanted the most powerful wand in the world, so Death made him one with the elderberry tree next to him."

"The second wanted to tease Death further, saying that he wanted the power of his sweetheart to come back to life, so Death picked up a stone from the river and gave it to him."

"Finally, Death turned to the third.

He was a humble man, and he said that he wanted something that could help him leave that place without being followed by Death.

So Death reluctantly gave him his invisibility cloak. "

"Death has an invisibility cloak?" Harry said in amazement, and a ridiculous idea suddenly emerged in his mind. Could the invisibility cloak in his hand be the one given by Death to the third?

"Later, the three brothers separated and headed for their respective destinations." Hermione continued, "The eldest brother came to a remote mountain village, where he used the elder wand given to him by the god of death to kill a wizard who had a dispute with him."

"The huge power of the wand made him ecstatic, and he boasted about his skills to everyone he met.

But that night, another wizard stole his wand and cut his throat.

In this way, the god of death took the eldest brother's life."

"The most powerful wand." Harry said in a daze.

He wondered if the wand that Voldemort was looking for was the elder wand given to the eldest brother by the god of death. Whoever got it would have invincible power.

"The second son returned to his home where he lived alone. He took out the stone and turned it three times in his hand.

The surprise was that the girl he married early but unfortunately died young appeared in front of him.

But soon, she became sad and cold, because she did not belong to this world.

The hopeless love drove the second son crazy, and in order to be with his sweetheart, he committed suicide.

In this way, the god of death took the second son's life."

"As for the third son, the god of death looked for him for many years, but never found him.

The third son lived until he was very old, then took off the invisible cloak and gave it to his son.

Then he greeted the god of death like an old friend, happily followed him, and they left the world together."

"This story tells us many thought-provoking life philosophies." 'Gandalf' smiled and took a puff of cigarette, "If you want to kill someone, make him crazy first.

The eldest son was defeated by the arrogant In terms of character, the wand is an external object after all, and magic power is the foundation of wizards.

Before you have absolute strength, showing off this wand will only attract others to covet it, which is nothing but a way to death.

The second brother fell because of his arrogant arrogance. The god of death needs to abide by the rules and cannot attack the living, but he is a god after all.

He really dares to fool the gods as a mortal!

The third brother is somewhat self-aware. His humility allowed him to live to the end of his life and earn an invisibility cloak for his descendants. "

"I still don't understand." Harry pondered, "What does this story have to do with the Deathly Hallows?"

"Wand, invisibility cloak, resurrection stone.

Right, Mr. Lovegood?"

"Yes, that's it." Xenophilius nodded, picked up a quill from the piled table, and took out a piece of parchment from the pile of books.

"Elder Wand, the most powerful wand in the world." Xenophilius drew a vertical line on the parchment.

"Resurrection Stone." Xenophilius drew a circle under the vertical line, and finally a triangle that enclosed the vertical line and the circle. "Invisibility Cloak."

"These three things together are the Deathly Hallows, and together they will make you the master of Death."

"Ridiculous." 'Gandalf' said with disdain, "The Deathly Hallows may really exist, but the 'master of Death' is absolutely nonsense."

"Sir." Xenophilius reminded awkwardly, "The master I am talking about is not the real master, but the conqueror or the victor.

A conclusion that has been passed down with this ancient legend is that collecting the three Deathly Hallows can gain powerful power, enough to conquer death."

"But do they really exist?" Hermione asked doubtfully.

"Yes."

"Sir." Hermione said helplessly, "It's just a legend after all. We all know that the invisibility cloak is rare, but it does exist, but..."

"Miss Granger, the third Hallow is a real invisibility cloak." Xenophilius said seriously, "It is not an invisibility cloak made of the hair of an invisible beast or a Disillusionment Charm.

These things can be invisible at first, but over time they will gradually reveal their entity, while the Hallow is a cloak that can make a person completely invisible, and it is permanent.

Have you ever seen such a treasure?"

Hermione choked and turned her head to look at Harry and Ron.

Although she didn't want to admit it, Harry's invisibility cloak seemed to be such a treasure. It has been used for several years and the effect has not diminished at all, and it seems to be his family heirloom.

"Okay, let's assume that the invisibility cloak exists, but what about the resurrection stone?

How can the resurrection stone be real?"

"Then prove it's not!"

Hermione's eyes twitched, and she said indignantly: "I don't have the resurrection stone, how can I prove that it can resurrect the dead?"

"Hermione." 'Gandalf' said softly, "The magic world has many magical treasures. As far as I know, Gaius has a potion that can resurrect the dead who have been dead for no more than an hour."

"As for the last elder wand, I think the mysterious man is looking for it."

"The mysterious man is looking for the Elder Wand?" Xenophilius was stunned for a moment, and then a strong light flashed in his eyes, "Do you know where the Elder Wand is?"

"I don't know." Harry said before anyone else spoke.

"But how is this possible?" Hermione was still reluctant to believe that the legendary things would really exist, and three of them were revealed at once.

"I have indeed never seen the Invisibility Cloak and the Resurrection Stone, but there are countless evidences for the Elder Wand." Xenophilius said, "It is the easiest Hallow to trace because its inheritance method is quite special."

"What do you mean?" 'Gandalf' asked curiously.

He was sure that Dumbledore asked Grindelwald to guide Voldemort to find the Elder Wand before his death, but he didn't know why he sent a Deathly Hallow to Voldemort. Perhaps Xenophilius could give him an explanation.

"Only by seizing this wand from the previous owner can you become its owner." Xenophilius said.

"Defeat the previous owner?" 'Gandalf' thought for a while, and his brain began to work at high speed.

The one who stole the wand was Gellert Grindelwald, and the one who defeated Gellert Grindelwald was Albus Dumbledore, which means that Albus Dumbledore was the previous owner of the Elder Wand.

But Dumbledore is dead, and it was Severus Snape who killed Dumbledore, which means...Snape will be the current owner of the Elder Wand.

Wait, I seem to have forgotten some details.

It seems that before Dumbledore died, his wand was knocked down by someone, and the person who knocked down the wand was...

"No way!" 'Gandalf' slapped his head, "This is so ridiculous!"

"Sir, are you okay?"

"It's okay, Mr. Lovegood, please continue."

"The bloody traces of the Elder Wand are splattered all over the history of magic.

The evil monster Egbert slaughtered the evil man Murrick, Hereward killed his father Godlot, and Heloas killed Barnabas all to steal the Elder Wand.

But the clues are blurred with Acus and Levias. No one knows which of them defeated Heloas and took the Elder Wand."

Hermione pursed her lips and rarely refuted.

She also knew these stories, having read them in a book.

After a moment of silence, Hermione asked, "Sir, do you know Ignotus Peverell?"

"The one we saw in the cemetery?" 'Gandalf' asked with a smile.

"There is a symbol of the Deathly Hallows on that tombstone. I think the Peverell family may be related to the Deathly Hallows."

"Peverell?" Xenophilius was stunned for a moment, "I thought you didn't know!"

"We really don't know." Ron said speechlessly.

"The three brothers in the story are actually the three Peverell brothers, Antioch, Cadmus, and Ignotus.

The three brothers are the original owners of the Hallows."
