Chapter 404: The Inheritor of the Secret

"Two years ago, when I made up my mind to destroy the Sorcerer's Stone, I was always looking for a suitable inheritor." Flamel's voice came intermittently, "There are too few wizards who meet my requirements. I originally thought it would take a long time, even hundreds of years, so I prepared a lot of elixirs..."

Having said that, LeMay stopped.

He bent down to look at Ivan, under the dim candlelight around him, his brown eyes looked extraordinarily energetic, and the deep wrinkles on his face were all relieved.

"The inheritor who can inherit that book, in addition to having enough wisdom and talent, the most important thing is a magic stone." Lemay said, emphasizing his tone, "a piece of pure magic without any transformation. Stone. This is very critical, it is the key to unlock all the secrets and the key to obtaining the treasure!"

"Like the one I have now?!" Ivan asked back.

"Yes, my dear child, this is what you have." Flame held his breath and said with concentration, "I once obtained a Philosopher's Stone, but I foolishly used it to obtain eternal life and wealth, I thought I would never have another chance..."

Ivan fiddled with the pendant, feeling the power of the Philosopher's Stone inside.

Judging from what LeMay said, the real use of the Philosopher's Stone is not to obtain eternal life and wealth, but to obtain the secret key of the "Book of Abraham".

Of course, the Sorcerer's Stone he got from Gryffindor is also the key to the secret treasure left by the four creators of Hogwarts.

There seems to be a connection between the two events, or is it just a simple coincidence? !

Aiwen shook his head, he was not sure, the Big Four, ancient warlocks, evil gods, alchemy, prophet Abraham, the whole incident is becoming more and more complicated.

The secrets inherited from ancient times have just revealed the tip of the iceberg and have not yet been fully unfolded.

However, the sights that have been seen so far and the foreseeable future have overwhelmed Ivan, and these things are all beyond his imagination.

He couldn't help thinking that maybe he had been involved in the whole incident from the moment he went back to Hogwarts thousands of years ago and met the four founders.

Following this line of thought, Ivan continued to think.

It stands to reason that with the strength and wisdom of the Big Four, even if they are the founders of Hogwarts, they shouldn't be worried about a dark wizard after more than a thousand years, and even leave a secret treasure or a powerful weapon to protect Hogwarts, stop Voldemort.

Because he knew how terrible Voldemort was, Ivan always thought it was a matter of course, but now that he thinks about it carefully, isn't it a bit too fussy? !

Think about it, let alone the other three people, Salazar Slytherin alone can suppress the evil god Ivan saw in the underground ruins by himself.

That god, quite possibly the most powerful and evil Dark wizard who ever lived, the despicable Helbo himself had created and dismembered its body.

Even if the other Big Three are not as good as Slytherin, they must be similar.

How can a powerful wizard who can do this be afraid of Voldemort, worry about a descendant of Slytherin, and worry that Hogwarts will be destroyed by him.

A series of recent encounters also made Aiwen suspicious...

The secret treasure left by the Big Four was not used to resist Voldemort, but to use this excuse to let him find the key to the treasure to achieve other purposes.

The treasure may not be the weapon against Voldemort, but something related to ancient warlocks and evil gods...

Ai Wen suddenly felt that his back was full of cold sweat. If this was the case, it would be too scary. He hoped that all this was his imagination.

In any case, he now had to continue searching for the remaining Philosopher's Stone, at least the half that was taken by the fallen centaur.

"A few days ago, Albus wrote me a letter. He said in the letter that you might be the inheritor I have been looking for." Flamel continued, "I was still skeptical, but After seeing you, I can already be sure that you are the inheritor I am looking for, and you fully meet the conditions for getting that book to continue exploring its mysteries instead of me."

"Just because of the Sorcerer's Stone I have?" Ivan was a little surprised, "Then it doesn't have to be me, as long as there is a Sorcerer's Stone, anyone can..."

"The Sorcerer's Stone is indeed the key, but it's not the most important thing, my child!" Flamel said with a smile, "The key is quality. Both me and Albus are very satisfied with you, we two old guys There are very few misreadings. You know, we have to be careful when choosing an inheritor. The power contained in that book is beyond imagination. If you have evil thoughts, it will destroy the entire magic world and even the entire world. World catastrophe."

Lemay took a few steps forward and came to a dark golden curtain.

He flicked his wand lightly, and there was a clicking sound behind the curtain.

It was only then that Ivan noticed that there was a secret door hidden in this inconspicuous corner. Could it be that the "Book of Abraham" was placed inside? !

Under Le May's gesture, he followed the other party and walked in.

Passing through the narrow stone gate, the narrow corridor built with huge stone blocks went straight up. Because few people came, the stairs were covered with thick dust.

The air in the corridor was slightly turbid, and it was difficult to breathe.

But at the thought of being able to see "The Book of Abraham", a magic book that only exists in legends, Aiwen felt extremely excited and nervous at this time.

In the walls on both sides of the corridor, there are many strange stone statues.

They are placed in niches recessed in the walls, and they are all in the shape of classic opera characters.

Ivan knew that Lemay was the most loyal opera lover, but he didn't understand why the other party had to visit so many stone statues of song characters here.

Just when he was suspicious, Flamel stopped suddenly on the stairs.

"Here we are, right here!" he said softly.

Following his gaze, Ivan saw a statue of an old man in a long robe with wide-open eyes and a terrifying expression. Behind him seemed to be a devil!

He blinked to see better.

From this statue, he didn't feel any magical breath.

But judging by Flamel's expression, it is obviously not simple. Could it be that the "Book of Abraham" is hidden in it? !

"When I last remodeled Beauxbatons hundreds of years ago, I left this passage here, just like most of the secret passages in the school, there is no magic here, so that it will not be suspected. ’ explains Flamel, ‘but really, this statue of Faust and the Devil is a portkey!’ (To be continued.)
