Chapter 1122 Gold and Stone

Many people have a misunderstanding that gold will not change color.

When gold is fused with mercury to form an amalgam, the brilliant golden color of gold fades. Seeing white spots on gold jewelry, the first thing ordinary people think is that they have bought fake gold. Few people will realize that there is mercury in cosmetics.

It's the 21st century, and cosmetics are all quality-tested, even some famous brands, so how could there be mercury in them?

Lead and mercury have been known to have whitening effects, and they do so much faster than other "natural" ingredients. Using cosmetics containing lead and mercury, the skin will immediately become white and bright. At this time, the merchants will not care about the life and death of consumers.

Pope John Paul II said: A society that is only interested in material goods and the ephemeral commodities of the market tends to marginalize those who are not useful for its purposes. This is a true human tragedy, and some people choose to close their eyes, protecting themselves with indifference.

Their attitude is like Cain's "Am I my brother's keeper?"

Even though God has solemnly warned him: "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground."

If too much pesticide is sprayed, not only the insects will not eat it, but also people will be poisoned if they eat it. Not to mention those weird chemicals and hormones.

After the sewer is the conscience of the city, food safety has also become the standard to test the conscience. Some people choose to remain indifferent even though they know that other people have problems eating these excessive foods.

This is why the ancient alchemists did not make their knowledge public. Giving the sword of knowledge to the wrong people will cause more harm than illiterate people, and the food safety problem is just reaping the consequences.

Even Alexander VI famously said that when nobles start to worry about common people's morality, it is a symbol of the decline of the noble class.

The power of religion is terrible. Although "Lyle Meyer" is just a Muggle, he has written the doctrine of worshiping the god of death and let a group of wizards obey his orders.

It is very difficult for these wizards who have listened to "Turn into a Star" since they were young to understand how their minds are controlled. Unless there is a catastrophe, such as the Black Death, it will be difficult for them to be liberated from that logic come out.

Albus said that Harry was the seventh Horcrux, and Severus didn't question it at all, because all the signs proved that Harry and Voldemort had some inexplicable connection.

He can feel the presence of Horcruxes, he can speak Parseltongue, and he can see through the eyes of Nagini and Voldemort. What is he but a Horcrux?

But if Voldemort knew Harry was a Horcrux, he wouldn't have killed Harry with the Killing Curse.

If Voldemort didn't know that Harry was his Horcrux, then he would make another Horcrux to make up the number "seven".

Although the Battle of Hogwarts was over, and Voldemort was reduced to ashes in front of everyone, it looked as if it was all over.

But is this really the end?

When Voldemort becomes stronger again, the Dark Mark on the Death Eater's arm will change, which has been verified in the Triwizard Tournament.

Letting people with the Dark Mark into the Ministry of Magic means both the Ministry of Magic and the suspicion that the Dark Lord will make a comeback, which seems a lot smarter than denying that Voldemort will return again like Fudge.

Not every Death Eater with the Dark Mark is as cute as Severus and Draco, there are quite a few who are as vicious as Bellatrix, to make people feel happy in pain.

The guilty go unpunished, which is painful for families who have lost loved ones in war.

There are many people who hope to be happy all the time, and to go to heaven to enjoy pleasure all the time. Suffering is a theological and philosophical issue, and a great puzzle of human existence.

Only through pain can people grow, and at the same time, some people feel real through pain, just like someone slapped or pinched themselves when they suspected that they were dreaming.

Although this world, oppressed by all kinds of evil and misfortune, often seems very miserable, within it lies hope.

People yearn for a better world, free from war, poverty and hunger, without the pain of losing loved ones.

There are scholarships for studying at Hogwarts. You don’t have to worry about dropping out of school because of lack of money like the young people in Muggle fairy tales, and the food is very rich. In a sense, Hogwarts is like paradise, which was protected and created by Albus Dumbledore.

It was also Albus Dumbledore, a childlike old fool in a hideous star-cloak and with such bad taste that it was impossible to doubt that he was gay.

He took the secret with him to the grave, and not even the scribbler Rita Kiester dared to write about it - it's incredible that Albus Dumbledore's "old lover" was Grindelwald .

Blue roses represent "impossible".

After Voldemort put the last gold coin in the "Wishing Well", a white light swept across the bushes beside the temple steps.

Then one blue rose after another slowly bloomed in the gloom.

Nietzsche wrote in the book: My virtue is the virtue of a dancer, my feet once danced in ecstasy composed of gold and emeralds; for home.

For in laughter all evil coexists, yet is acquitted and made holy through its own bliss.

At this moment, both Voldemort and "Reaper" were smiling. It seemed that one was happy to pass the final test, and the other was sincerely congratulating.

But what they are really laughing at, only they know.

"Come in, everyone." Lyle said to several people. "You can go in and take the wealth that belongs to you. But I want to remind you that it doesn't belong to you. You can't take it even if you want to, no matter how much you want. want."

"Tell me, Reaper," said Voldemort. "What trick are you up to?"

"I'm not Death," Lyle Meyer said with an enigmatic smile, "and I'm not playing tricks."

No one believed what he said.

"Please come with me." Lyle vowed, and led everyone to the temple like a guide.

As the crowd gradually approached, a soft orange light appeared in the originally dark temple. When they walked to the front of the main hall, they were almost blinded by the golden light in front of them.

Everything is golden, whether it is the walls, the pillars or the sculptures in the temple.

Lyle walked to one of the golden statues, "This is the Hormon Crusoe made by the master, or the Hormon Crusos made by Salazar Slytherin. Which one do you think is better?"

"What?" Pomona asked.

"You don't know?" Lyle asked in surprise.

"I think he's talking about the stone statues," said Voldemort. "That's not the result of the Transfiguration Curse."

"You mean, those statues that Minerva used at Hogwarts, those are artificial people?" Pomona asked.

"Otherwise what do you think it is?" Voldemort asked back.

"Muggles made war robots to fight instead of humans." Severus said, "It's the same reason that Slytherin made sculptures to replace Muggle soldiers."

"Oh, those scrap copper and rotten iron." Lyle said contemptuously, "How can you use those iron bumps that can't walk on the same level as the metal man made by the master."

"My God." Pomona held Severus' arm to keep herself from losing her footing.

As we all know, human beings are carbon-based creatures, neither the stone statues of Hogwarts nor these metals are carbon-based.

That is another form of life, but they are man-made, not as flexible and "perfect" as the ones made by gods, just like the "unicorn blood" and "phoenix tears" outside, they are still missing something.

"The master once tried to put human souls into these artificial humans, but he didn't succeed like you, they only have metal souls." Lyle sighed and said, "If it was normal, these guards would attack you, but I closed they."

"Why?" Voldemort asked knowingly.

"You said that my current body won't last long." Lyle raised his eyebrows, "I need a new body."

Voldemort laughed.

This smile is extremely elegant and charming, even a little sacred, coupled with his handsome face, it looks like an angel's smile.

"You will get what you want," said Voldemort, "after I have what I want."

"Then, please come with me." Lyle bowed humbly, just like the god of death bowed to the three brothers in the fairy tale.
