MTL - The Existence of Harry Potter-Chapter 52 The owner of the pig's head bar

The "mysterious" middle-aged wizard who called himself Nick Lemay just left, leaving Asker with the so-called "Sorcerer's Stone" and a lot of questions. There is a famous saying that scholars like to use to pretend, "The more we know, the more ignorant we appear." This sentence can very well describe Asker's current state of mind.

Asker stared at the box on the table, but his heart was unexpectedly calm. He had become accustomed to some mysterious guys appearing in front of him, saying some unknown but sharp words, or showing their other side that was different from ordinary people. and many more. Thanks to them, Ask is now more and more calm about the countless questions surrounding him. Anyway, no matter how he pursues it, he will not find the answer, at least not easily.

"……Magic stone……"

The box on the table is exquisite and gorgeous in appearance, but what is inside is just an ordinary stone. There are no rules at all, colorful, and it has no similarities with the legendary magic stone. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a fake. The colors are as if they were dyed with dyes. The most unacceptable thing for Asker is that the body of the Philosopher's Stone is as big as a volleyball. Have you ever seen a Philosopher's Stone the size of a volleyball?

Well, now is the time to learn about the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone or the Sage's Stone, is a substance that alchemists have pursued throughout their lives. It can turn any metal into pure gold, and can also make elixir, regret medicine, aphrodisiac, Viagra, laxatives, see Bloody **...

The concept of the Philosopher's Stone comes from the eighth century AD, an Arab Yemeni (born in Persia) alchemist Geber (Geber), who analyzed Aristotle's four elements: heat, cold, dry, wet. Fire is hot and dry, earth is cold and dry, water is cold and wet, and air is hot and wet. He further established the theory that "all metals are a combination of these four elements": two internal elements and two external elements.

In this case, the process of metamorphism of one metal into another is deduced to be the recombination of these four substances. Hypothetically, the agent responsible for this transformation is a substance known in Arabic as al-iksir (from which the word elixir is derived from the Western panacea). The substance is thought to be a dry powder made from the mysterious stone, the Philosopher's Stone, which was believed to be composed of a substance called carmot.

After reading the above popular science, do you think you still don't understand anything?

If you don't understand, that's right!

You can't trust Baidu Encyclopedia or something!

There are four elements of water, fire, earth, and air. The magic stone is said to be called the fifth element. What exactly is this fifth element? It is estimated that only Nicole Lemay, who made the magic stone, knows, he himself does not know. The production method of the Philosopher's Stone was announced to the public, and even since the Philosopher's Stone appeared, he himself has rarely appeared.

However, regarding the fifth element, many people firmly believe that this is a very different kind of element from the other four elements... Sorry, there is no suitable adjective yet, as the middle-aged wizard said, this is "unable to use mortals." Miraculous things understood by wisdom". The other four elements are at least touched, and the fifth element may be deified. More people believe that this is an intangible thing, and it is most likely just a concept, which can be called the high-end atmosphere such as truth, avenue, and roots. Rare items of the upper class. These bizarre things fit the description of "miracle things that cannot be understood by mortal wisdom".

If it is really just a concept, how do you understand the magic stone the size of a volleyball? Nicole Lemay gave the concept of the Philosopher's Stone to an ordinary stone, creating a magic "stone"? Is it understandable that he can also give this concept to the toothbrush and create a magic "brush"? Give it to a girl and make horse monkey shochu? Give it to an otaku and make him a real great magician?

The more you know, the more ignorant you appear...

Indeed brilliant!

After reading the above explanation, do you have the urge to throw the cup?

However, the answer is in the content above. Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway.

If you don't understand, it's better not to. Ask is used to it anyway. So, he put the box in his pocket, stood up and prepared to leave. At this time, he had almost forgotten the original intention of entering the bar.

However, there are still people who understand at the Pig's Head Bar.

"Um?"

Ask raised his head, a tall, strong old man with white hair and beard and blue eyes stood in front of him. At first, Asker almost thought that this was Dumbledore, but the man's nose was not crooked, and his expression was much more vicious. He didn't look like a good person, and was completely different from Dumbledore's temperament.

"Is something wrong?" Ask asked.

"You haven't paid yet."

Listening to the tone of these words, it seems that this is the owner of the Pig's Head Bar. Asker rolled his eyes. With the Philosopher's Stone, Nicole Lemay, who can turn a stone into gold, can't even pay for a drink? It's definitely a fake!

Asker was too lazy to explain, "How much?"

"Three silver xikes," the boss replied.

Asker handed over the money. He only had one Galleon left. Now, when he goes back to school, he has to find a way to get some money. After paying the money, Asker asked something that shouldn't be asked, that is: "You look familiar, are you Albus Dumbledore's brother?"

The boss's expression changed and he was furious. He grabbed the money and roared in a low voice, "I'm his uncle!"

"Hey, really?" Ask asked subconsciously, and then he realized that he had done something stupid, so he quickly explained, "Cough, when I didn't say anything."

"What's your name?" the boss who claimed to be Dumbledore's "Master" asked with a frown. He didn't care so much about a child~www.novelbuddy.com~ It's just this boy, he saw There was an urge to beat him violently.

"Me?" Asker touched his chin and thought for a moment. Considering that old Grindelwald didn't seem to have any enemies in England, he said confidently, "My name is Asker Grindelwald." The boss stretched out his hand and wanted to shake him.

"Grindelwald?"

The boss's expression changed again. If Dumbledore was mentioned earlier, his expression was angry, then now, what is written on his face is hatred! After gritting his teeth and repeating the surname several times, the boss grabbed Asker with agility that didn't match his size, and asked loudly, "What's your relationship with Gellert Grindelwald!"

"..."

No matter how slow Asker's reaction is, he should realize at this time that the person in front of him must have a grudge against old Grindelwald. Since this is not the first time that he has met, Asker replied calmly:

"He is my grandfather, and I am his grandson."

"very good……"

"Speaking of which, are you your father killed by my grandfather, your mother killed by him, or your siblings?"

"very good……"

The owner of the pig's head bar smirked in anger, but it was just a smirk. He moved his knuckles, and the crackling sound showed that this man was not old enough to beat anyone.

"Today I'll collect some interest from you. I want to see how long Gellert's shriveled tortoise will stay in Nurmengard!"
