Chapter 69 Unprecedented Invisibility Cloak

A double blessing, Daphne reported her findings to Les the next morning.

"Philosopher's Stone?! Are you sure?" Rice was extremely shocked after hearing that what Dumbledore was hiding was actually this thing.

The Philosopher's Stone, or the Philosopher's Stone, is the pinnacle achievement of alchemy - bar none. This is a skill that none of the four of them could master back then.

In any era, as long as the Philosopher's Stone can be refined, the alchemist will become the greatest alchemist even if he has no other achievements before.

This is the crown jewel of alchemy.

Many alchemists claim to be able to refine the Philosopher's Stone, but Nico Flamel is the only one who can actually make it.

Les had previously considered searching for Nico Flamel's whereabouts when he was free. However, when he learned that Nico Flamel had already lived in seclusion, he gave up the idea. Trying to find a wizard determined to live in seclusion is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After learning that the treasure Dumbledore had hidden in the castle was the Philosopher's Stone, Les admitted that he was a little moved. He really wanted to get the legendary Philosopher's Stone and study it. Maybe he could reverse engineer the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone?

Rice is not bragging, he really has this confidence. As long as he gets a real magic stone, he will definitely be able to produce some results.

"That's a magic stone, which makes people immortal." Daphne's eyes flashed with fascination: if she could get a magic stone, her sister's illness would be cured.

The magic stone can turn stone into gold and make an elixir of immortality, making people immortal. But to Daphne, the use of the former seemed like a joke.

Gold? Am I lacking?

"Immortality is not a good thing. It only guarantees immortality and nothing else." Les said calmly. In his eyes, both special effects of the Philosopher's Stone were mediocre. He has no shortage of gold and can achieve immortality. The magic stone has only research value to him.

Rice's intuition told him that immortality was not necessarily a good thing. It didn't promise eternal youth, did it? It's very scary to think about it. A wizard who takes the elixir made from the magic stone may continue to age, but he will not die until his flesh and blood dries up, his soul fails, and until living is a pain.

Les has a little bit of research on immortality. He is sure that all methods of immortality have drawbacks. The worst Horcruxes that split the soul will cause people to bear eternal damnation and lose the opportunity to become a ghost or embrace the next life. ; The potion he invented requires sleeping for thousands of years, and he eventually turns into a teenage boy. His body becomes much more fragile, but the advantage is that it has no obvious side effects.

The "immortality" brought by the magic stone must have disadvantages, but it has not been discovered by the world.

"Les, do you want to go and find out in the corridor on the fourth floor? That's the Philosopher's Stone!" Daphne looked at Les with expectant eyes. Like the beebird that leads travelers to collect honey in the forest, she hopes to use Les's power to gain some benefits, such as giving her sister a potion made from the magic stone.

"Sorry, I have more important things to do." Les rejected Daphne's request in her disappointed eyes.

If Les had not gone deep into the corridor on the fourth floor, he would have immediately gone there to explore. The Philosopher's Stone was one of the few alchemical creations that could arouse his interest. But Les had already explored it and went all the way to the end. He knew there was no magic stone inside.

"That Gryffindor Potter asked me if I wanted to go on an adventure together in the castle at night. What should I say? Should I agree to it?" Daphne sighed softly and changed the subject. She decided to try her luck there in the future. Anyway, the corridor on the fourth floor was there and she wouldn't go anywhere.

Did Dumbledore really hide the Sorcerer's Stone there? Would he keep it there forever? The girl did not consider these issues. She just thought that the Sorcerer's Stone would always be hidden under the corridor on the fourth floor of the castle, waiting. The arrival of a destined person.

"Why not?" Les asked, he wanted to see what the invisibility cloak that Daphne described as "having a texture like water" looked like.

"Then I'll talk to him." Daphne regained her interest.

As night fell, Les and Daphne stood quietly at the basement entrance waiting for Harry's arrival. In order to avoid unnecessary interruption, he cast a disillusionment spell on both himself and Daphne.

"I want to learn this spell later." Thinking of the unpleasant memories of that night, Daphne decided to learn the Disguise Charm from Les. This way, even if he doesn't have an invisibility cloak, he won't be afraid of being discovered by Filch - wait, why don't he let his father buy him an invisibility cloak as a birthday gift?

"Can."

Daphne on the other hand was still thinking about whether to ask her father to send her an invisibility cloak. However, after she simulated a conversation between father and daughter, she gave up the idea: If she asked for an invisibility cloak, as long as her father was not stupid, he would definitely be able to guess her purpose. How could he allow her to sneak out of the dormitory at night? ? It is better to learn the Illusion Charm honestly, it is more practical than the invisibility cloak.

Standing there, a little sleepy, Les suddenly narrowed his eyes: although he couldn't see, he still vaguely felt the presence of people.

For people who are sensitive to magic to a certain extent, the invisibility cloak has limited effect on them. However, with the development of modern magic education, there are fewer and fewer such people.

Les concentrated the magic power in his eyes and looked at the place that made him feel abnormal. Then two groups of magic power appeared in his field of vision. At the same time, a low-pitched conversation reached the ears of him and Daphne.

"Do you think that Greengrass is like Malfoy, agreeing on the surface, but secretly informing Filch..." Ron's voice made Daphne clenched her fists.

"Daphne is not like that." Harry defended Daphne in a low voice. He simply believes that people who hate Malfoy are not bad people.

At this moment, Les lifted the Disillusionment Curse on him and Daphne, and their sudden appearance startled Harry and Ron.

"Les, why are you here?" Harry lifted the invisibility cloak and was a little surprised. He obviously only invited Daphne.

"Caught her in a daze outside the lounge door." Les made a random excuse and fooled her.

Daphne raised her fist at Ron: "Weasley, how dare you compare me to Malfoy?!"

Ron smiled coquettishly: It's over, he was caught talking bad things about people behind their backs.

He quickly changed the subject and said to Les, "Did you just use the Disillusionment Curse?"

"No, I took a little trick and borrowed an alchemy tool." Les didn't want to expose too much in front of the two young wizards.

After the four of them chatted for a while, Les seemingly unintentionally expressed that he wanted to see Harry's invisibility cloak. This was a normal request, and Harry generously handed the cloak to him.

The moment he took over the invisibility cloak, Les felt how extraordinary it was.
