Chapter 659 Is there really no eternal life?
Niko only stayed at the cabin for a day before leaving.
He had to go to the Bolshoi Theater to watch ballets and operas.
This Christmas holiday, there will not only be "Swan Lake", but also the treasure of the town house - the opera "Evgeny Onegin".
The way Niko adjusts his mood is... unique.
As expected of a role model for my generation, he is a master who can enjoy himself.
William also learned a new skill after the water gun.
If he is in a bad mood in the future, he can also go to watch similar performances-such as the Victoria's Secret Show.
Of course, this way of relaxation may only serve as a soothing effect once.
It wasn't because William was boring after seeing it once, but because he was... directly hacked to death by Hermione.
Judging from Nicole's actions, he was actually not that sad.
Unlocked the alchemy book, but didn't get what I wanted... It can only be said to be mixed.
There may be disappointment, but I have long been psychologically prepared.
Compared with death, he pays more attention to appreciating the current scenery.
In his words:
If death cannot be stopped, never let the ending block the light of the story.
Nico decisively freed and left.
The alchemy book is temporarily placed here with William.He was going to Moscow, and it was not safe to carry the book with him.
He won't come to pick it up until the end of the Christmas holidays.
Staying here with William is actually reserved for him to use and let him continue to study.
William took the alchemy book and began to do a lot of copying work with Hermione, recording the items he wanted to make.
This time the alchemy book unlocked the third part.
He conceived a lot of magic items, all of which can be found in the production method.
In a word, only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without it.
William also found out how to make Portkeys, and began to try to make Portkeys by himself.
A Portkey is an enchanted item that teleports anyone who touches it to a designated location.
It's a bit like Doraemon's arbitrary portal.
Portkeys are a little more secure than road powder.Since Floo powder is used, the fireplace must be connected to the Floo network.
The Floo Network is monitored by the Ministry of Magic.In other words, your every move is under the watchful eye of others.
The Ministry of Magic does not want you to use it, and the Floo network will automatically disconnect.
As for the portkey, theoretically, it is also monitored.
It is overseen by the Portkey Office of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Transport.Authorization from the Ministry of Magic is required to make new Portkeys.
But the Ministry of Magic has no way of detecting if someone has made unauthorized Portkeys.
It is secretly made in private, and it will not be discovered at all.
It's as if the Albanian portkey smugglers took advantage of this loophole.
And William and Hermione would not care about this law.
The two of them had already broken away from the realm of violating school rules, and ran all the way on the illegal road, running faster and faster.
Secretly crafting a Portkey is no big deal.
William started to practice and tried many things.
The farther the distance, the harder it is to make a success.The material of the object itself does not have much influence.
He practiced for several days before he could basically make it successfully, and then he was ready to connect to other houses.
So far, William and Hermione have owned four houses.
In addition to the home in St. Catchpole Village, there are another set in Paris, Venice, and Godric's Hollow.
The houses in Paris and Venice were bought during the summer vacation.
Dumbledore helped buy Godric's Hollow.
When choosing the address at the earliest, the principal suggested Godric's Hollow.After all, it used to be his home.
Although William hadn't been there, he still bought it as another safe house.
The two foreign houses are too far away to go temporarily, so only the house in Godric's Hollow can be furnished.
In this way, even if someone besieged the house, they could escape smoothly.
Hermione designed it for a long time and gave a very good plan.
She chose the door of the storage room as the door key, which is neither conspicuous nor disturbing the structure of the whole room.
Next to the storage compartment, there is also a button that can be turned.
When the pointer points to the blank, after opening the door, it is just a storage room.
Twist the button again, and the pointer will point to Godric's Hollow, and the door will turn blue immediately.
If you touch the wooden door, you will trigger the door key and go to the house in Godric's Hollow.
On the buttons, there are indicators of Paris and Venice respectively.
The whole design is very ingenious, and it also extremely tests the wizard's production ability.
But William is a master alchemist, and this design is easy to catch.If it doesn't work, the alchemy book will also give a solution.
It took two days before and after, before the two of them finished the preparations.
Two days before the end of the Christmas holiday, after dinner, William decided to make portkeys.
Under Hermione's expectant gaze, William pointed his wand at the wooden door, and proficiently said: "Mentos."
The wood glowed blue, shook the floor loudly, and after a few seconds, it was motionless again.
"Did it work?" Hermione asked cautiously.
"It probably worked. Let's go and see," William said.
Hermione nodded, taking his arm.The two touched the blue door, and then disappeared into the air.
Slap, they appeared in a room.
The room hadn't been decorated and was bare.There are only whiteboards on the walls.
From the window, you can see some houses standing on both sides of the narrow alley, and the Christmas decorations in the windows are shining.
Not far ahead, the golden street lights showed that there was the center of the village.
"It seems to be successful." Hermione said happily.
She took William's hand, pushed the door and went out.
The two walked along the street and wandered around Godric's Hollow.
The valley is large, with a war memorial-like building in the center, half hidden behind a Christmas tree blowing in the wind, surrounded by colorful lights.
There are also a few shops, a post office, a bar, a chapel, and across the square of stained glass, radiating jewels of light.
Villagers were passing among each other, briefly illuminated by street lamps.Fragments of laughter and pop music sounded as the bar doors opened and closed.
Soon, they wandered to a remote yard somewhere.
There is a brass door plate on the door, which reads vaguely: Dumbledore.
"Is this the home of Professor Dumbledore?" Hermione looked at the house number and wondered.
"Yes." William looked up at the wall.
From here, a large bare tree could be seen, its branches sticking out of the yard, and several ravens stood on the tree and quacked.
It sounds scary.
Dumbledore spent his youth here, and after Ariana died...he never came back to live there.
"Let's go back, William."
Hermione felt cold all over, she didn't like this depressing environment very much.
The two turned around and returned to the house, passed the door key again, and returned to the warm home again.
Now that the Portkey had succeeded, the two ignored it and started doing other things to enjoy the last Christmas vacation.
Sitting on the sofa, Hermione took William to play wizard chess.
When he was at the St. Mann Magic Hospital, William had studied with the professional players of the national team, and his chess skills were good.
Hermione was not an opponent at all. After a dozen steps, she was eaten by several white knights.
"You won't let me at all!" Hermione snorted twice.
William couldn't help laughing and said, "You can regret the game.
Look at Annie... Every time I play wizard chess with me, if I don't regret it a dozen or twenty times, it's not called chess at all. "
Hermione rolled her eyes, and she really picked up her white queen, threw it back to its original position, and picked up a few black knights as well.
The black knight struggled and was thrown into the chess box.They pinched their waists and clamored to die on the chessboard.
The chess game where William had the upper hand immediately fell to one side.
"You are not allowed to eat my White Queen!" she ordered again.
William couldn't help laughing, while Hermione was complacent, with a playful look of 'I'm a female rascal, who am I afraid of'.
Then, it is to constantly regret chess, steal chess and play chess.
Looking at the absent-minded William, Hermione asked softly, "William, what are you thinking?"
William moved the position of the black queen, raised his head and said, "I was just thinking, is there really no eternal life?"
Nicole may be free and easy, but William is a little reconciled.He really wanted to brew the elixir of youth.
Hermione took a few more black stones before moving the pieces.
She sat up, put her chin on her knees, and whispered, "William, do you really want to live forever?"
"It would be a pity if I worked hard all my life and disappeared from the world in the end." William said bluntly.
Hermione thought for a while and stared into William's eyes: "What if you are the only one who can live forever, but I can't?"
Without thinking, William shook his head directly:
"Then I'd rather spend a short life with you than see the vicissitudes of this world alone."
Hermione opened her mouth slightly and looked at the young man with a dazed look in her eyes.
William knocked on her hand and said with a gentle smile, "Stop stealing my chess pieces. If you steal any more, only the king will be left."
The girl's delicate face immediately flushed red.
She blinked suddenly, raised her neck and exhaled softly, "William, didn't you always want me to dress you like that?"
"what?"
Hermione, whose ears were blushing, said in embarrassment, "Maid outfit!"
She gently twisted the corner of her clothes, and said timidly: "If you lose this round...I will give you...tonight."
William took a deep breath, grabbed Hermione's hand, and threw all the white pieces into the box, leaving only one king.
"I lost!"
Hermione was slightly taken aback.
William whispered furtively: "We can bring a few more, I still have several kinds of clothes that I want you to wear."
Hermione's cheeks suddenly flushed red and hot, like dripping red candles.
"satyr!!"
She couldn't bear the boy's hot gaze, and was about to run away.
William stood up, walked over and picked her up, and walked towards his room.
