Hogwarts Collector, I cast a spell with the Eye of God - Chapter 133
“That’s right.”
Ye Ting nodded gently, his eyes flashing with wisdom:”It is difficult for a large creature like a basilisk to roam quietly under the eyes of the teachers and students of Hogwarts. After thinking about it, I think there is only one way for him to use the pipe system of Hogwarts. And”Hogwarts: A History of the School” happened to record that a student named Corvinus Gaunt once participated in the maintenance of the pipe system of Hogwarts.”
“And Corvinus Gaunt is one of the heirs of Slytherin.”Dumbledore nodded in admiration,”What a genius deduction, I never thought of this.”
Ye Ting naturally couldn’t reveal his identity as a time traveler, let alone say that he knew the location of the Chamber of Secrets a long time ago.
He could only weave a set of self-consistent and impeccable rhetoric.
Of course, it was difficult to deceive Dumbledore.
Dumbledore was not only extremely intelligent, but also had keen insight.
Although Ye Ting could completely resist Dumbledore’s [Legitimate Mind], Dumbledore was old and cunning. He could judge whether a wizard was lying without the help of magic, just by relying on his rich experience and keen intuition. Fortunately, Ye Ting’s heroic deeds in the Chamber of Secrets helped him to find out whether a wizard was lying.
His brave actions were enough to win Dumbledore’s trust.
Especially when he successfully stopped Voldemort and took back the Philosopher’s Stone, Dumbledore’s favor for him doubled.
And now, Ye Ting took out the tempting Philosopher’s Stone from his pocket and handed it back to Dumbledore without hesitation.
His move made Dumbledore appreciate this child even more!
Intelligent, talented, kind to others, and most importantly, able to withstand temptation… The only shortcoming is that he likes to make trouble.
Dumbledore sighed in his heart, even if he was young, he couldn’t be so outstanding!
“Oh, I almost forgot about it.”
Dumbledore took the almost dull Philosopher’s Stone, with a hint of emotion in his eyes,”After Harry handed the Philosopher’s Stone to Voldemort, I almost thought I had lost it completely. I didn’t expect that you could get it back.”
He paused, and asked another question curiously,”By the way, Minerva said before that they thought there was an earthquake in Hogwarts, was that done by you too?”
“Haha, yes.”
Ye Ting scratched his head pretentiously and said innocently,”At that time, I was fighting Voldemort with powerful magic in 717. I didn’t expect the noise to be so loud that even you were alarmed.”
“Judging from the results, you definitely won. You have an amazing magical talent.” Dumbledore’s words were full of emotion.”If I were not your headmaster, I would almost doubt whether you were the reincarnation of Merlin.”
“You couldn’t do it at the beginning?” Ye Ting asked
“No, I can’t. I’ve never seen a little wizard as powerful as you.”
“I once had a……”Dumbledore paused for a moment, as if weighing his words, and then continued,”My dear friend… He once said that true magic can only blossom in a very small number of souls. And in these very few souls, even more amazing magical talents will awaken.”
Dumbledore’s eyes became deep, and he sighed:
“This kind of talent cannot be explained in words, it can only be considered as the power of inheritance in the blood. Because of this, the pure-blood concept is so deeply rooted in people’s hearts. They firmly believe that the intermarriage of pure-blood wizards can allow the talent to continue without being diluted. But I think your existence can completely subvert this concept.”
“I think if he knew you existed, he would definitely re-examine some of his ideas,” he narrowed his eyes, stared at the boy in front of him, and said softly,”In that case, maybe some things……”
At this point, Dumbledore suddenly realized something, paused, and did not continue, but returned to the main topic.
“Ye Ting, I must say that you did something noble and brave today.”
Dumbledore’s words were full of praise,”You found the Chamber of Secrets and stopped the basilisk from wreaking havoc. Harry told me that Voldemort originally planned to put that monster into the Quidditch field. If he really did that, the consequences would be disastrous. I think you are fully qualified to receive an award for special contribution to the school.”
As he spoke, Dumbledore gently placed the Philosopher’s Stone on the table, his voice gentle and full of respect:
“To be honest, I think you deserve a first-class Order of Merlin. After all, you prevented Voldemort from resurrecting… Unfortunately, I don’t have the final say on this matter. I just talked to Minister Fudge, and he thinks you are too young, and Professor Quirrell’s body was burned clean by the devil’s flames, so many things can’t be proved. At most, it can only be considered that he stole the Philosopher’s Stone… So at most, Ye can only give you a second-class medal.”
“I certainly don’t question Secretary Fudge’s decision.……”Dumbledore blinked, with a hint of helplessness in his smile:”But sometimes he is more conservative than an old man like me.”
At this point, he finally stood up:”Okay, I should go. If I don’t leave, Madam Pomfrey will rush out to chase us away. You know, she is more fierce than Professor McGonagall.”
“professor……”Ye Ting suddenly said:”I have another question”
“Is that the last question?” Dumbledore turned around.
“Of course.” Ye Ting looked at Dumbledore’s back and asked seriously,”What if Voldemort really took the Philosopher’s Stone and then resurrected?”
“Then I may not be too distressed.”
Dumbledore’s voice was calm, as if everything was under control:”Because Tom will soon find that the magic power in this Philosopher’s Stone is almost exhausted.”
“After Voldemort’s resurrection, he will find that his elixir of life has quickly lost its effectiveness. Then, his body will quickly age and die. The resurrection plan he has been working on for several years will eventually fail.” There was a subtle sarcasm in Dumbledore’s tone.
Ye Ting was silent for a moment, then suddenly realized something and shouted hurriedly:”Professor, you forgot to take the Philosopher’s Stone!”
Dumbledore stopped, turned around, with a satisfied smile on his face:”It’s okay, Ye Ting. You protected the Philosopher’s Stone from Voldemort, and I believe you won’t lose it. After all, we all know who its real owner is, don’t we? So, I’ll ask you to return the Philosopher’s Stone to him in person… Good evening!”
As Dumbledore left, Ye Ting leaned against the bed, holding the Philosopher’s Stone tightly in his hand.
He gently stroked the surface of the stone, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
It’s just… is the magic power in the Philosopher’s Stone almost used up?
Dumbledore took a piece of almost useless stone and played Tom in the palm of his hand.
What a terrible old man.
But no matter how cunning Dumbledore was, he had to drink his foot washing water.
Dumbledore deceived Voldemort, but his actions were completely within Ye Ting’s expectations.
Ye Ting had long guessed that Dumbledore would leave the Philosopher’s Stone to him.
After he and Dumbledore knew Nicola, If Nicole is in trouble, Dumbledore will not take the Philosopher’s Stone at all, but choose to let Ye Ting return the Philosopher’s Stone to Nicole himself.
In this case, isn’t this a good opportunity for him to show his selflessness?
Ye Ting decisively seized the opportunity to pretend to be a good person.
Now he left a good impression in front of the principal, so that he could cover for him in the future when he got into trouble.
Didn’t you see that Dumbledore helped him cover for it this time when raising a dragon?
Of course, Ye Ting was not without precautions.
What if Dumbledore did not play by the rules?
That’s okay.
Because Ye Ting has secretly collected the Philosopher’s Stone.
The Philosopher’s Stone is the treasure of the entire wizarding world and the key to alchemy. The supreme masterpiece.
As the core item of the first part of the original novel, Ye Ting gained a lot by collecting it. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
He obtained the Cretaceous Son of God’s Eye.
When he obtained this God’s Eye, Ye Ting realized that this was almost an Eye of God at the same level as Lisa.
You know, Lisa’s God’s Eye is the real foundation of Ye Ting’s current magical talent.
It is because of it that Ye Ting has become the genius he is today step by step.
And Albedo’s God’s Eye also has a similar effect.
If Lisa is a magic genius, then Albedo is a genius in alchemy.
Obtained Albedo’s inheritance , Ye Ting’s talent and attainments in alchemy soared instantly, and he even surpassed Nicolas Flamel in some aspects!
Not only that, he also mastered the skills to create alchemical life, and was able to create spirituality and even life through alchemy!
This is the legendary [Method of Creation]!
This skill is completely taboo in the Harry Potter world, and no one can achieve it, not even Nicolas Flamel.
And now, Ye Ting has been able to break through this limitation.
Just when Ye Ting was daydreaming, with a creak, the door of the school infirmary was suddenly pushed open, and then quietly closed.
Ye Ting looked up suddenly, but saw that the room was silent and no one was in sight.
“Who?!”
His voice echoed in the empty room.[]
At this time, a figure slowly emerged. It was Susan, but not only her. The girl was holding Linnet in her arms. It was the cat that cast the invisibility magic to help Susan sneak into the room.
“Susan, why are you here?” A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Ting’s eyes.
Susan stood not far away. She raised her head with great effort, squeezed out a smile that was more sad than crying, and whispered:”I came to see you… Madam Pomfrey strictly forbade us to enter. Hermione begged her many times. Everyone said you……”
“I’m fine.” Ye Ting threw back the quilt, jumped off the bed nimbly, and said in high spirits:”I’m really fine, look!”
Susan lowered her head, her eyes fell on her toes, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito:”Are those rumors true? Everyone is saying that Quirrell’s ghost attracted a dark wizard who tried to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, and you took it back.……”
“That’s about it. We’ll talk about the details later.”
Ye Ting lifted the stone on the table, shook it gently, and said with a smile,”This is the Philosopher’s Stone, the highest masterpiece of alchemy, the treasure that Voldemort dreamed of. He didn’t even have time to warm it up before I killed him, and the Philosopher’s Stone fell into my hands. Take a look.……”
However, Susan did not reach out to take it.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her beautiful face was full of worry. She tried hard to restrain her inner fear and did not want to cry in front of Ye Ting.
However, her tears fell from behind her glasses like pearls that had broken off the string.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Ye Ting asked anxiously.
“It’s nothing!” Susan’s voice was filled with tears. Her eyes were red and she bit her lips tightly, trying not to cry out loud.
Seeing this, Ye Ting hurried over, hugged the girl gently, and comforted her softly,”Stop crying, I’m fine, right? Don’t make yourself so sad.”
The girl with glasses just shed tears silently, but didn’t say anything, as if all the grievances and worries turned into tears.
“Susan, don’t be silent!”
Ye Ting really had never encountered such a situation before, and said helplessly,”If I encounter such a thing again in the future, I will never act rashly. Even if I want to go, I will tell you first and ask for your consent. How about it?”
The girl raised her head and looked at Ye Ting with tears in her eyes, with a tremor in her voice:”Really?”
Ye Ting stretched out his hand, gently wiped her tears, and smiled:”Of course it’s true, how could I lie to you? Just like Sniff will not give up the gold coins.”
Susan burst into laughter.
Next, Ye Ting didn’t dare to talk to her about the secret room and the basilisk, for fear of making her cry again.
So, he simply talked about the summer vacation a few months later.
Susan stared, with a hint of shyness and expectation in her voice:”Where are you going to go during the summer vacation? If you like, you can come to my house as a guest. In fact, my house is quite big, and my aunt told me that she prepared a magic potion for me that can make my magic stronger.”
Ye Ting was a little surprised when he heard this:”I am honored to receive your invitation. But I plan to go back to London during this holiday to deal with some personal financial issues.”
“What’s the problem?” Susan asked curiously.
Ye Ting smiled mysteriously:”If you can keep it a secret, to put it simply, I found some small loopholes in Gringotts, and this semester, the Wanyou Shop made a lot of money, which can just be used as my start-up capital. I plan to take this opportunity to plan my way to wealth.”
Susan heard this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and pleaded:”Are you going to take action against Gringotts? Don’t, the dragons there are not vegetarians, and they will roast you to seven-tenths rare if you are not careful. If you are really short of money,……”
Ye Ting’s adventure in the Chamber of Secrets seemed to have left her with a wrong impression, making her think that Ye Ting was going to make a scene at Gringotts again.
Before she could say anything about contributing her own pocket money, Ye Ting hurriedly explained the reason:
“I am indeed interested in Gringotts, but not in the crude way you think. Have you noticed that in the Muggle world, the prices of precious metals such as gold and silver are always fluctuating, while in the wizarding world, 1 gold Galleon is always equal to 17 silver Sickles, and 1 silver Sickle is always equal to 29 copper Knuts. The exchange rate between these three currencies has always been as stable as a rock.”
Susan blinked her eyes, looking confused:”I have never paid attention to these. Isn’t this something that goblins should worry about?”
Ye Ting smiled and explained:”The exchange rate of gold and silver is floating. Now the exchange rate of gold and silver in the Muggle world is higher. I can take a ton of silver to Gringotts, cast it into silver Sickles, and then exchange the silver Sickles for gold Galleons, and then take the gold to the Muggle world to exchange for more silver. In this way, wealth will naturally roll in.”
Susan was still a little confused and asked:”Where did you get a ton of silver?”
Ye Ting shrugged and smiled:”I am just making an analogy. The money I have now plus some pounds should be enough as a starting capital. As for the Muggle traders, I think Hermione’s parents should be able to help.”
“Then I can only wish you good luck!”Susan chatted for a few more words, then turned away in a gloomy mood.
Ye Ting talked for a long time, but she seemed to only pay attention to the name Hermione.
