Chapter 69 Unprecedented Invisibility Cloak

Double happiness came. The next morning, Daphne reported her findings to Rice.

"The Philosopher's Stone?! Are you sure?" Rice was extremely shocked when he heard that what Dumbledore was hiding was this thing.

The Philosopher's Stone, or the Philosopher's Stone, is the pinnacle of alchemy - there is no other 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, even if the alchemist has no other achievements before, he will become the greatest alchemist.

This is the most dazzling pearl in the crown of alchemy.

Many alchemists claim that they can refine the Philosopher's Stone, but Nicolas Flamel is the only one who can really make the Philosopher's Stone.

Rice had considered looking for Nicolas Flamel's whereabouts when he had time, but when he learned that Nicolas Flamel had already gone into seclusion, he gave up the idea. Trying to find a wizard who is determined to go into seclusion is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

After knowing that the treasure hidden by Dumbledore in the castle was the Philosopher's Stone, Rice admitted that he was a little tempted. He wanted to get the legendary Philosopher's Stone and study it. Maybe he could reversely study the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone?

Rice was not bragging, he was really confident. As long as he could get a real Philosopher's Stone, he would definitely be able to study some results.

"That's the Philosopher's Stone, which makes people immortal." Daphne's eyes flashed with a trace of fascination: if she could get a Philosopher's Stone, her sister's illness would be cured.

The Philosopher's Stone can turn stones into gold, and can be made into elixirs to make people immortal. But to Daphne, the former's use seemed like a joke.

Gold? Do I need it?

"Immortality is not a good thing. It only guarantees immortality, not other things." Rice said calmly. In his eyes, the two special effects of the Philosopher's Stone are mediocre. He has no shortage of gold, and he can also be immortal. The Philosopher's Stone is only worth studying for him.

Les's intuition told him that immortality was not necessarily a good thing. It did not promise eternal youth, did it? It was very scary to think about it this way. A wizard who took the elixir made by the Philosopher's Stone might keep aging, but he would never die until his flesh and blood dried up, his soul was exhausted, and until living was a pain.

Les had done a little research on immortality. He was sure that all ways of immortality had drawbacks. The most common Horcruxes would split the soul and make people bear eternal curses, losing the chance to become ghosts or embrace the afterlife; the potion he invented required sleeping for a thousand years, and eventually turned into a child in his teens. The body became much more fragile, but the advantage was that there were no obvious side effects.

The "immortality" brought by the Philosopher's Stone must have drawbacks, but it was not discovered by the world.

"Les, do you want to go to the corridor on the fourth floor to find out? That's the Philosopher's Stone!" Daphne looked at Les with expectant eyes. She was like a bee bird in the forest leading travelers to collect honey. She hoped to use Les' power to gain some benefits, such as giving her sister a potion made by the Philosopher's 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 gone there to explore immediately. 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 Philosopher's Stone inside.

"That Potter from Gryffindor asked me if I wanted to adventure together in the castle at night. What should I say? Should I agree to him?" 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 would not go anywhere.

Whether Dumbledore really hid the Philosopher's Stone there, whether he would keep hiding it there, the girl did not consider these issues. She just thought that the Philosopher's Stone would always be hidden under the corridor on the fourth floor of the castle, waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

"Why not?" Les asked back. He wanted to see what the invisibility cloak that Daphne described as "with the texture of water" looked like.

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

As night fell, Les and Daphne stood quietly at the entrance of the basement waiting for Harry's arrival. In order to avoid unnecessary disturbance, he cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself and Daphne.

"I want to learn this spell later." Thinking of the unpleasant memories of that night, Daphne decided to learn the Disillusionment Charm from Les. In this way, even if she didn't have an invisibility cloak, she wouldn't be afraid of being discovered by Filch-wait, why didn't she ask her father to buy her an invisibility cloak as a birthday gift?

"Okay."

Daphne on the side was still thinking about whether to ask her father to send her an invisibility cloak. However, after she simulated the conversation between the father and daughter, she gave up the idea: if she asked for the 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's better to learn the Disillusionment Charm honestly, which is more practical than the invisibility cloak.

Standing in place, Les, who was a little sleepy, suddenly squinted 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 degree, the invisibility cloak has limited effect on them. However, with the development of modern magic education, such people are becoming fewer and fewer.

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 chatted for a while, Les seemed to accidentally express 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.
