As soon as the people from the Church of the Goddess of Wealth left, the diary raised strong doubts.
Because in its opinion, the risk of this journey is too great, and no matter what promises and gifts the other party gives, it is not worth it.
Zuo Si smiled and asked, "Why not? I bet that this matter is not only involving Saranda Oulianm and the Church of Woking. It is very likely that more than one god is involved behind the scenes.
Don't forget that Graz'zt imprisoned a goddess for a long time, which was a slap in the face of all the gods in the continent of Faerun.
So I think that rescuing the goddess of wealth is most likely a joint action of several kind or neutral gods, including the goddess of magic Midnight herself.
The participation of Storm Queen Simbu, who is a voter, is the best proof of this.
Look, this rescue team heading to the Abyss is basically either the Chosen or Legendary Professionals, and behind each of them stands at least one God. "
The diary understood something immediately and said in a shocked tone, "You mean... Graz'zt's act of imprisoning the goddess of wealth angered a lot of gods?"
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right. Just wait and see. Under the plan of the gods, it won't be long before this Lord Wu An will pay the price for his fickleness and failure to abide by the contract. It will be a very heavy price. So although this operation seems dangerous, the success rate will be very high due to the intervention of the gods."
"I see! That's why you chose to delay on purpose, just to see the final composition of the entire team and confirm which gods are involved."
The diary instantly understood its owner's thoughts.
Because in the continent of Faerun, any mortal who can reach such a powerful level of strength will almost certainly not be unknown.
With just a little investigation, you will know who the other party is a believer or voter of.
Once we figure out their identities, we will naturally know which gods are involved.
"If there are more than three powerful gods joining this operation, then I will choose to join. If not, even if it is recommended by Storm Queen Xinbu, I will refuse without hesitation."
Zuo Si expressed his attitude clearly.
Although he is already one of the many elects of the Goddess of Magic and is willing to help other elects when they are in danger, this does not include situations involving outsiders.
In Zuo Si's view, the goddess of wealth Waukin and her church were complete outsiders, and he had no responsibility or obligation to take huge risks for them.
He will only consider joining this thrilling adventure if he can get a generous reward and ensure his own safety.
Of course, there is another consideration, which is to take the opportunity to visit the Abyss, the ultimate plane filled with chaos and evil.
Especially Graz'zt's famous triple realm, which is said to have collected the most handsome men and beautiful women in the Abyss and even the multiverse (because Graz'zt is a two-way plug), and also established a huge harem.
Shendiravel, founded with the succubus queen Mecanthut, has become one of the two places in the abyss most worthy of mortals' visit.
However, considering that it would take some time to find the right person for this rescue operation, Zuo Si did not stay in the Mage Tower and wait foolishly. Instead, he quickly started and passed through the inter-dimensional portal to the shelter in the UK.
Before school starts at Hogwarts, there is one very important thing to do, which is to transfer the scroll that seals the evil god, Atropal, to the floating city.
But when he entered the "Doomsday Bunker" with heavy magical protection, he found that the shelf where the scrolls were originally placed was empty, without even a single hair.
"North!!!!!!!"
Zuo Si shouted the name of one of the house-elves without any hesitation.
moment!
The latter rushed in directly from the only open entrance, put one hand on his chest and bowed deeply: "Honorable master, may I ask for your instructions?"
"Where is the scroll I stored here?" Zuo Si asked bluntly.
"Uh... wasn't it taken away by you?"
The house-elf named North asked back with a pair of innocent big eyes.
"I took it? When?"
Zuo Si frowned subconsciously and immediately realized that the situation seemed a little bad.
North explained carefully, "You put the scroll in and left within seconds, and then you came back to take it away. Calvi (another house elf) was there at the time."
"And then I took the scroll away? It was only a few seconds?" Zuo Si keenly grasped the two key words.
Because it takes some time to open and close the magical protection of the "Doomsday Bunker".
Whenever he needed to enter or exit, the only entrance would open briefly and close quickly after he left.
And these few seconds are the time it takes to close again.
As for the other self mentioned by the house-elf, it was most likely a disguise using Polyjuice Potion or some kind of transformation magic.
In other words, there was a person who very accurately seized the brief time difference between the opening and closing of the "Doomsday Bunker" and disguised himself to steal the scroll that sealed the evil spirit.
But who can do this?
If you want to exploit this loophole, you must first have a thorough understanding of the "Doomsday Bunker".
But Zuo Si has never revealed any details about this shelter to anyone so far, let alone extremely sensitive information such as opening and closing the entrance.
Just when he was puzzled, a sudden idea flashed in his mind and something that had been ignored for a long time but existed like a bug emerged - the time converter.
You should know that the wizards in this world have created a magic that can travel through time - the time reversal spell.
Although further research was later strictly prohibited due to the huge unknowns and dangers, and only a few time converters were strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, time travel is theoretically completely feasible.
Especially Professor Crocker of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, who has spent his life studying magic related to time.
In addition, wizard newspapers in the past have reported many cases like a witch who secretly studied time magic and accidentally trapped herself at home for five days.
When he was rescued, his body had aged to the point where it seemed as if five centuries had passed.
Needless to say, she must have consumed too much life in the process of time travel.
So it all seems to explain it all.
Obviously, the thief does not come from the present tense, but from a certain point in the future.
As for why the other party knew the structure of the "Doomsday Bunker" so well and was even able to steal the scroll that sealed the evil spirit when the entrance was briefly opened and closed, it was very likely that Zuo Si himself revealed some information to someone close to him in the future.
The most likely person is Hermione, who was trained as an assistant in this world.
If Hermione was captured by someone else and controlled by the Imperius Curse, the other party would be able to find out what was going on inside the "Doomsday Bunker" and use time magic or a time converter to go back in time and steal her away.
"Damn it! I actually forgot that this world has magic and props that can travel through time and return to the past." Zuo Si couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
There was no doubt that the loss of the scroll that sealed the evil god, Atropal, made him very nervous.
Because this is a divine creature, once its powerful magical power is released, it will be absolutely devastating to the entire world.
Moreover, this deity regards Shar, the goddess of the night, as his mother.
If it escapes and begins to develop followers among humans, it will most likely summon Shar into this world and successfully create an avatar.
"Master... Master, weren't you the one who took the scroll?" There was a hint of fear and despair in North's eyes.
"That's right! A despicable thief stole it." Zuo Si responded with a gloomy face.
The next second...
North began to bang his head against the ground like a madman, screaming hysterically: "It's all my fault! It's all my fault! It was because North was too stupid that the thief stole the most important thing of the master! Master, please punish me severely, chop off my head and hang it on the wall as a decoration!"
"Be quiet! I don't mean to blame you." Zuo Si glared at the house-elf unhappily.
Given the connection established between the Planeswalker and the summoned creatures, the latter should normally be able to identify a thief disguised through shapeshifting magic.
But the house-elves' innate servility makes them ignore this point, and once they see their master they will immediately show unparalleled obedience.
Through this incident, Zuo Si understood that house-elves might make good servants, but they definitely could not do a job like guarding.
He needed to equip the doomsday bunker with more and stronger guards.
There is no doubt that the loss of the scroll made North feel extremely guilty and depressed. His two big eyes were constantly shedding tears and he wished he could die immediately.
As for the other house-elf, after learning about this, he secretly punished himself by burning his skin with flames while preparing food and snacks.
It has to be said that the wizards' success in transforming and enslaving this species has reached a level that ordinary people can't imagine.
They even considered being enslaved by their masters an honor and being free a shame.
Of course, Zuo Si didn’t care too much about the reactions of the two house-elves.
After the initial panic, he quickly calmed down and began to analyze the other party's purpose.
Obviously, from the fact that the other party entered the Doomsday Bunker and only stole the scroll without touching anything else, it can be seen that this person is very clear that the value of the scroll is far higher than other items.
But whether the thief really knows what the scroll seals is a big question mark.
Because the wizards in this world have no understanding of God.
Whether it is Albus Dumbledore, who is known as the greatest wizard of our time, or Voldemort, who terrified the British wizarding world, or Grindelwald, who once tried to start a revolution to change everything, they are far from reaching the level of being able to touch God.
Therefore, Zuo Si was more inclined to believe that the thief simply knew that the scroll itself was an incredible treasure, or that he had heard from others that it contained some kind of magical creature that could fulfill wishes or achieve immortality, or that it was a powerful wizard left over from ancient times.
In order to find out the truth, Zuo Si tried to cast several prophecy magics to locate the scroll.
But unfortunately, the holder of the scroll had apparently left the sphere of influence of the British Isles, so all prophecy magic ultimately failed without exception.
However, considering that this incident happened in the future, and according to the time rules of this world, everything that has happened cannot be changed, so there is no need to be too impatient. Instead, you can slowly make plans to catch this thief from the future.
What's more, the magic used to seal the evil gods cannot be broken by just anyone.
Not to mention the huge difference between the magic systems of the two worlds, even if the other party obtained all the knowledge of a legendary wizard from the continent of Faerun, it would take years or even decades to study and crack it.
So the scroll should be safe and harmless for now.
Moreover, given the character of the evil god Atropal, once he is released, he will inevitably crazily massacre the living people in the surrounding areas.
By then, if you pay a little attention to news reports on disasters that have caused large numbers of deaths around the world, you will have a rough idea of where this guy is.
After sorting out the clues, Zuo Si quickly set his sights on the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.
This is the only known location where a complete time-reversal spell is stored, and it is also where the Time-Turner is stored.
Especially Professor Crocker, who specializes in the study of time magic. Even if he is not the thief himself, he must have a very close relationship with the thief.
However, considering that the Department of Mysteries has always been a key protected object, Zuo Si did not rush to take action. Instead, he first revealed some of his "latest" research results during the holidays and several spells that had been invented to the current Minister of Magic Fudge through an owl.
It was obvious that he was not going to use force this time, but was preparing to wait for the Ministry of Magic to invite him over.
You know, the vain Fudge attaches great importance to "political achievements".
He would be more than happy to support anything that would add luster to his resume.
As expected, Zuo Si received a reply just over ten hours later.
As for the content, it was nothing more than corny compliments and praises, and even the word "genius" was used repeatedly no less than a dozen times.
At the end of the letter, Fudge said that he would go to Hogwarts again at the beginning of the next semester to verify these research results and spells, and then personally present them with honors and a large bonus.
In fact, as "Step-by-Step Guide to Storing Spells - Volume 1" began to circulate in the wizarding world, Fudge had already gained considerable political capital and prestige from it.
Coupled with the crazy praises of a group of lackeys headed by Umbridge, many people really believed that this old bureaucrat would be an outstanding leader who could lead the British wizarding world to greater glory and prosperity.
"This feeling is really as simple as manipulating a puppet by strings. People who are corrupted by money, power and desire are indeed the easiest to manipulate."
Zuo Si sneered and sighed, then lit the letter and threw it into the trash can to burn it.
"How do you plan to find the lost scroll?" the diary suddenly asked.
Zuo Si answered nonchalantly, "It's very simple! When approaching Professor Crocker, pay special attention to the new friends that appear around Hermione. If nothing unexpected happens, the person who stole the scroll should be one of them."
"Could it be the work of Voldemort and his minions? This guy seems to have always been obsessed with death and immortality that cannot be described in words. He even created a large number of low-level undead creatures - zombies." The diary took the initiative to remind.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. It seems that we need to visit the well-informed Rita Skeeter and let her be responsible for collecting some useful news and intelligence from the wizarding world."
After saying that, Zuo Si stood up, waved his wand gently, and instantly performed the Apparition technique and disappeared from the spot.
Just a second later, he appeared out of nowhere in a house.
Rita Skeeter, who was sleeping in bed, seemed to sense something. She woke up suddenly and grabbed the wand beside her pillow to defend herself.
But when she saw clearly who was coming, sweat soaked the woman's silk pajamas in just a few seconds. At the same time, she covered the faintly visible magic mark on her chest and gasped heavily, her whole body shaking slightly uncontrollably.
She would never forget the horrific ordeal she endured in the Headmaster's room at Hogwarts.
That feeling became an unforgettable nightmare, and even now when I occasionally think about it, I still twitch and spasm, and feel intense phantom pain.
"Good evening, Miss Rita Skeeter. It seems that you have recovered well during this period." Zuo Si greeted with a smile.
Rita Skeeter swallowed subconsciously and asked in a stuttering voice: "What...what do you want to do?"
"As a master, I think I have the right to visit my servants at any time and demand service, don't I?"
As he spoke, Zuo Si gently waved his wand and lit the fireplace beside him.
The temperature in the UK in August is not very high, especially at night it is usually just over ten degrees Celsius. Coupled with the damp and cold environment it would be very unbearable without some heating equipment.
As the firelight dispelled the darkness, Rita Skeeter finally saw the young man in front of her who frightened her.
Compared to the somewhat immature man he seemed when we met a few months ago, Zuo Si now looks like a complete teenager.
Especially the black pupils, which revealed a strange and deep light under the illumination of the flames, making her feel like she was facing a Dark Lord who was a hundred times more terrifying than Voldemort.
fear!
Awe!
A strong chill rose from the feet and quickly spread throughout the body.
Rita Skeeter didn't even bother to put on some clothes. She climbed out of the bed in her translucent silk underwear and knelt on the ground in a very humble posture.
"Great Master, your servants are always at your service."
Zuo Si nodded in satisfaction: "Very good! This is the attitude a servant should have. And I promise that if you perform well enough when carrying out the mission, you will receive unimaginable rewards, such as this and this..."
"This is?!"
Rita Skeeter looked up and saw a peculiarly shaped wand, a notebook, and several bottles of potions of various colors.
Most importantly, it is not registered with the Ministry of Magic and can be used to do some secret things without worrying about being discovered.
As for the notes, they record some unique spells I invented that can be used to protect myself when encountering danger.
Finally, there are these potions, some of which are nearly universal antidotes, while others are healing potions and have magical effects such as invisibility and detection of thoughts.
There is an English label on the bottle and you can use it as needed.
Remember, I am very generous to my able and faithful servants.
But at the same time, when dealing with traitors and those who want to fish in troubled waters, they will be particularly ruthless. "
"What do you need me to do?" Rita Skeeter asked cautiously.
As a reporter who gained her current position by exaggerating and fabricating fake news, she is no fool and understands the consequences of serving such a powerful and dangerous master.
The more the other party provides, the more difficult the task is.
“很简单，你不是消息很灵通吗？那就替我去打探消息，尤其是跟时间逆转咒语、时间转换器和克罗克教授有关的内容。另外，多留意一下魔法界和麻瓜世界什么地方出现了大量因为不明原因而导致人类死亡的情况。”左思毫不客气的提出了要求。
一听到仅仅只是打探消息，丽塔·斯基特瞬间如释重负，赶忙信誓旦旦的保证道：“请放心，我会办好这件事情的。稍后，我就会以预言家日报记者的身份去采访克罗克教授，并将他极其家人的全部资料收集起来交给您。”
“如果发现任何有用的信息，立刻亲自前往这个地址，把消息告诉房子里的家养小精灵。注意是亲自！千万别用猫头鹰传讯，那玩意非常不安全且容易被截获。”左思语气严厉的叮嘱道。
“明白！”
丽塔·斯基特不敢有任何怠慢，赶忙点头表示自己知道了。
事实上在打探别人秘密这方面，她还是相当有天赋的。
尤其是变形魔法领域，水平已经达到了相当高的程度，否则也不可能成为极为罕见的“阿尼马格斯”。
要知道把人类的身体变成一只小虫子，可要比变成狼、麋鹿、狗、猫之类的哺乳动物难多了。
或者说把自己变得极大或者极小，在变形魔法领域都需要极为高深的造诣。
重新启用了丽塔·斯基特这个工具人之后，左思立刻又马不停蹄的来到了马尔福家族的庄园。
好巧不巧的是，这次造访刚好赶上了魔法部的突击检查。
为首的不是别人，正是韦斯莱家双胞胎的父亲——亚瑟。
由于他本人一直跟卢修斯相当的不对付，所以两人之间的氛围可谓是剑拔弩张。
前者甚至恨不能把整个庄园翻过来，把那些伏地魔时代遗留下来的黑魔法物品统统找到，最好是能送对方进阿兹卡班。
同样的，卢修斯也在动用自己的人脉，不断向这些正在搜查的人员施压，迫使其根本不敢进入马尔福家族真正的宝库。
因为里边要真是丢了什么东西，以他们那点薪水就是不吃不喝几十年也赔不起。
不仅如此，卢修斯还在明里暗里的讽刺亚瑟是个穷鬼，连家人都快要养活不了。
说实话，看着两个四十岁左右的中年人像小孩子一样针锋相对的场面，实在是让人有点哭笑不得。
最终，这次突击检查没能搜到任何违禁品，亚瑟·韦斯莱只能气冲冲的带着人离开，并且撂下狠话迟早有一天会抓住马尔福家族的犯罪的把柄。
当然，他自己也知道这只不过是为了找回点面子而已。
自己此次申请的突击检查之所以会无功而返，肯定是魔法部内部有人私下里偷偷给卢修斯通风报信。
目送魔法部的人彻底消失，左思这才解除隐形状态从不起眼的角落走了出来，笑着调侃道：“怎么，马尔福家族已经落魄到这种程度了吗？竟然会被以如此方式对待。”
“你什么时候来的？”卢修斯瞬间吃了一惊。
因为他完全没有察觉到左思的到来，更没有察觉到幻影移形之类的魔法在自己家族庄园范围内生效。
“刚到不久，碰巧看到了这样一幕。说实话，我觉得你之前描述古老纯血家族的影响力有些过于夸大了，至少到目前为止，你们连改变魔法部的一些决策都做不到，这实在是令我感到非常失望。”左思意味深长的说道。
毫无疑问，这句话瞬间让卢修斯原本苍白的脸色变得通红，咬牙切齿的辩解道：“都怪亚瑟·韦斯莱这个可耻的叛徒！虽然他本人是个十足的白痴兼蠢货！但韦斯莱家族在魔法界还是相当有影响力的。这家伙借助家族的荣光和邓布利多支持者的身份笼络了一大票人。”
“看，这就是你们那套纯血论最愚蠢的地方，把大量混血和麻瓜出身的巫师推到了自己的对立面。
政治的基本原则就是尽可能拉拢更多的盟友，同时减少敌人的数量。
可你们却反其道而行之，试图去违背历史发展的规律，注定会迎来失败的结果。
算了，我这次来又不是要说这些的。”
左思轻轻摇了摇头，随后挥舞魔杖迅速在空气中制造了一个封印卷轴的投影，直截了当的说道：“有人前不久从我买下那栋房子的宝库内偷走了一样东西，一个无比珍贵且危险的卷轴。我希望你能动用一切可以动用的关系，帮我调查它的下落。”
“卷轴？”卢修斯眯起眼睛露出了一丝好奇。
“是的，一张卷轴。如果你能帮我找回来，我可以满足你一个愿望，无论它是什么。”左思不慌不慌的许诺道。
“没问题，交给我吧。”
卢修斯毫不犹豫的一口答应下来，甚至没有问卷轴里究竟记载了什么东西。
因为在他看来，无论这张卷轴有多么珍贵，也远远不必上眼前这个年轻人给出的承诺更有价值。
等左思离开之后，这位马尔福家族的主人这才小心翼翼进入宝库，从一个十分隐秘的地方取出了一大堆伏地魔时代遗留下来的东西，其中赫然包括身为魂器之一的笔记本。
经过这次突击检查之后，卢修斯已经意识到自己的家并没有想象中那么安全，所以这些东西必须尽快处理掉。
不然的话真要是被搜出来，进阿兹卡班蹲几年大牢都是轻的。
当然，像这么多黑魔法物品处理起来并不是一件容易的事情。
或许翻倒巷那边的黑市能够吃掉一部分，但其中几个最危险的东西哪怕是白送都不会有黑巫师敢轻易收下。
而那本伏地魔学生时代的日记显然就是其中之一。
由于压根不知道魂器的秘密，所以卢修斯只是单纯认为这个日记本上加持了某种可以吸取生命力的黑魔法，并不清楚里边是一块灵魂的残片。
本着废物利用的原则，他打算用这玩意制造点混乱，给这次搜查行动中让自己丢脸的亚瑟·韦斯莱一点颜色看看。
很快，一个阴险的计划就这样被酝酿出来。
只不过卢修斯并未察觉到，在黑暗中有一双不成比例的大眼睛将这一切都看得一清二楚。
他不是别人，正是马尔福家族的家养小精灵多比。
……
与此同时，另外一边返回住处的左思也终于倒出功夫，开始清理自己不在这段时间积累下来的信件，加在一起足有几百封之多。
其中大部分都是来自世界各地知名巫师礼貌性的问候，以及关于一些在制作魔法卷轴和储法物品中遇到的难题和问题。
总而言之就是一些关于知识和技术方面的交流。
对于这些信件，左思无例外都以一种非常专业的角度进行了解答并送出回信。
尤其是给炼金大师尼可·勒梅的回信，足足写了好几页羊皮纸，以至于负责送信的猫头鹰在见到后忍不住发出了一阵咕咕咕咕的抗议声。
最后剩下的才是双胞胎兄弟与赫敏的信件。
尤其是前者，竟然丧心病狂到每隔一天就会送一封信来催促左思赶紧去韦斯莱家的房子“陋居”，不然他们辛苦赚到的钱就都要彻底被没收了。
至于赫敏的信件则大多是一些介绍自己假期生活的内容，字里行间透露出一股淡淡的思念，以及对于总得不到回信的小埋怨。
日记本更是赤裸裸毫不掩饰的鼓动道：“你还在等什么？快点回信啊！要知道在你认识的众多女性中，格兰杰小姐可是为数不多心智正常且十分理智的人了。虽然年纪可能小了点，但可以先慢慢培养感情嘛。”
“闭嘴。你不说话没人当你是哑巴。”
左思没好气的翻了个白眼，很快便拿起笔写了两封回信。
其中一封是给赫敏的，对于自己没能及时回信做出了解释。
另外一封则是给双胞胎的，告诉他们自己几天后就会亲自登门拜访。
等处理完所有的信件之后，左思便静下心来准备在开学前的最后几天完成一项高难度的炼金，即制造一颗属于自己的魔法石。
不过与尼可·勒梅制造的那颗不同，他打算加入一些来自费伦大陆次神器——炼金石的工艺。
当然，这并不容易。
因为次神器虽然并不需要神明和神力的参与，但对于施法等级的要求却非常高。
再结合个世界不同的施法方式和魔法运作规律，哪怕是拥有很高创造者等级的左思想要制作成功也十分困难。
而在众多繁琐的步骤中，让魔法石或者炼金石内部填满魔法水银，无疑是难点中的难点。
毕竟这种由于能量高度浓缩液化的物质不仅蕴含着足以改变物质本质的惊人力量，同时还能强化治疗药剂的效果，使其变成一种能够让死者复生的复活药剂。
What's more, according to Zuo Si's design, this work that combines the two worlds' highest alchemical skills should have the ability to continuously produce magical mercury.
The only good news is that he now has a lot of the finest gems on hand that can be used as raw materials and carriers for making the Philosopher's Stone.
As for energy, some residue was preserved from the last absorption of the floating city's seal, which should be more than enough to make the magic stone.
First, Zuo Si needs to select those with the best magic capacity from a large number of the finest gems, and then decompose them into powder in a non-violent way.
Then, through alchemy, it is condensed together again and injected with abundant life energy, turning it from a dead object into a semi-crystal emitting brilliant light of life.
Needless to say, most of this life energy comes from the goblins raised in the basement of the Mage Tower, and some of it is contributed by the large number of orcs who died during the plague.
When all these energies were poured in, the crystals began to emit a dark green glow that was enough to affect the mind.
Anyone who sees it will feel a strong desire to possess it.
This is the attraction of powerful life energy to the instinct of living things.
But if it only achieves this, it is at best just a relatively precious life gem that can bring extra life and health to the wearer.
The next step is to turn it into the Philosopher's Stone or the Alchemist's Stone.
"With gemstones as the shell, life force as the root, and huge magical energy as the catalyst. Now, let me see what I can create."
Along with murmuring, Zuo Si instantly released all the energy stored in his body, wrapped up the life gem on the test bench and continuously pressurized it.
When the pressure created by the energy reaches a certain critical point, the energy on the outer wall of the gem finally begins to liquefy and slowly flows inside the crystal.
The whole process lasted a full twenty hours.
When Zuo Si felt that his energy was about to run out, the texture of the gem itself finally changed.
It no longer glowed like before, but turned into an inconspicuous black stone.
But through the turbid and blurry transparent areas on the surface, you can vaguely see the liquid magic mercury flowing inside.
Not only that!
The black patterns and spots on the gem itself, which look like dirt, are actually a very powerful magic array.
If the magic mercury inside is used up, the holder can activate these magic circles, replenish energy by killing other creatures, and continuously produce new magic mercury.
But for Zuo Si, it was obviously not necessary to go through so much trouble.
He only needed to activate the Chosen Power bestowed upon him by Talona to indiscriminately slaughter his enemies, and then inject all the "temporary life" formed by the energy absorbed into his body into them.
In addition to being able to infinitely generate magic mercury, the magic stone can also protect the holder from all kinds of instant death magic effects.
As for making life-extending potions or turning other metals into gold-like weight and luster, they are not worth mentioning at all.
Because the resurrection power of magic mercury combined with healing potions is enough to drive everyone in this world crazy.
According to the description in the notebook provided by the God of Knowledge Oghma, this mixed potion can produce an effect similar to the Nine-Ring Divine Spell - Complete Resurrection.
Although it is not like complete resurrection, which can revive a person out of thin air without any corpse, it still requires at least a small piece of remains, but it is enough to make up for the biggest regret in some people's hearts.
For example, Snape, who fell into endless regret because his beloved was killed, or the Dumbledore brothers, who were filled with guilt because of the death of their sister, or the savior Harry Potter, who was extremely eager to see his parents in person.
Zuo Si really wanted to see what changes would occur in these people when those tragedies that were destined to become a fait accompli suddenly had room for reversal.
Similarly, with this Philosopher's Stone that can bring the dead back to life, he will soon surpass all famous wizards and become the most influential person in the entire wizarding world.
If it were in the past, Zuo Si would definitely try every means to hide this treasure.
But now, not only will he not hide it, but he will also choose a special moment to announce it to the public, and use it as bait to find out the guy who stole the scroll.
Two days passed like this. When Zuo Si had completely recovered from the fatigue of making the Philosopher's Stone, he immediately appeared near the fireplace of the Weasley family with the help of Floo Powder at the agreed time.
Although according to his own habits, he prefers to use Apparition.
But considering that this behavior is illegal and I don't have a license to Apparate, I'd better just use Floo powder and be a good boy.
"Soth?!"
"Merlin's beard! You're finally here!"
George and Fred rushed down the stairs first, their faces full of surprise.
Because they knew that Zuo Si's arrival meant that their hard-earned pocket money could finally be unfrozen.
"Long time no see, looks like you guys had a good vacation."
Seeing these two funny guys again after such a long time, Zuo Si couldn't help but smile slightly.
Especially George's face, which was covered with a lot of feather-like things, which kept falling down when he spoke. He was extremely happy.
"Good? You really are kidding! You know? The series of inventions and creations we had planned to carry out this holiday have all gone bankrupt because of the frozen funds." Fred complained excitedly.
George quickly plucked the bird feathers off his face and nodded his head, "That's right. Mom confiscated our bag full of gold Galleons without giving us any explanation. She didn't believe our explanation at all, even though Ron and Hermione wrote to prove it. But now it's good. With you here, Mom will definitely return the money."
Just when Fred was about to say something, two short figures suddenly ran down from the third floor.
One of them was obviously Ron, and the other girl with long reddish-brown hair was definitely Ginny, the youngest daughter of the Weasley family.
Almost at the same time, the hostess Molly, wearing an apron, also poked half of her head out of the kitchen, wanting to see what was happening in the living room.
Faced with these faces, some familiar and some unfamiliar, Zuo Si immediately bowed slightly and politely, greeted each of them with a smile, and presented a custom-made super-large cake as a gift.
