Chapter 4131 [The Truth of the Philosopher’s Stone]

In the following months, Xiang Nan continued to use the time converter, which greatly increased his available time.

However, there are some taboos when using the Time Turner.

For example, if you use the time converter, multiple Xiang Nans will appear in the same time period. They cannot meet each other, otherwise it will cause trouble.

Because in previous experiments, when people who traveled through time met their previous selves, it often caused chaos and they attacked each other, ultimately resulting in one person being killed.

This will lead to a time paradox, which will cause even greater trouble.

That's why applying for a time converter is so troublesome, and every applicant must promise to use it carefully and not do anything to change history.

If it wasn't for Creed helping Xiang Nan apply, and if Xiang Nan's grades weren't so excellent, he might not have been able to apply for this magic item.

Therefore, every time he uses the time converter, Xiang Nan will make a plan first.

He divided himself into several identities. One was for attending classes and reading in the library, one was for practicing magic in the Room of Requirement, and one was for making medicine in the Room of Requirement... He tried his best to avoid seeing himself, and also tried his best to avoid being seen by others...

Several months passed peacefully like this, until the end of the third grade.

……

During this period, Xiang Nan read all the banned books and his knowledge reserves increased greatly.

Among them, Xiang Nan benefited the most from "Bao Yaga's Witch Notes" which he got from the old witch.

Because this forbidden book not only records a large number of mysterious spells, potions and transfiguration, but also records the formula for refining the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone, can turn any metal into pure gold. It can also create an elixir of life that makes those who drink it immortal.

This treasure can not only grant people endless wealth, but also endless life. Therefore, from ancient times to the present, wizards have been fascinated by it and have been eager to obtain it.

There are many records about the Philosopher's Stone in history, but the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone has always been kept secret and few people know it.

The only remaining Philosopher's Stone in the wizarding world today belongs to the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel, who also gained extraordinary longevity and enormous wealth with the help of the Philosopher's Stone.

It is said that the French Beauxbatons School of Magic was established with the help of Nicolas Flamel, but Nicolas Flamel never made public the formula for refining the Philosopher's Stone.

After reading "Grandma Yaga's Witch Notes", Xiang Nan finally understood why he did not publish the formula for refining the Philosopher's Stone.

The reason is very simple, because the process of making the Philosopher's Stone is extremely evil. Compared with it, the Horcruxes seem pure.

Horcruxes require killing to be made, and each Horcrux requires the sacrifice of a life. And refining the Philosopher's Stone requires more than just the sacrifice of one life, it requires the sacrifice of tens of thousands of lives.

Because the Philosopher's Stone is made from the essence of human life, one gram of the Philosopher's Stone consumes thousands of lives.

When Nicolas Flamel was refining it, it was during the Hundred Years' War between England and France in the 14th century, and the great plague in the Middle Ages that swept across Europe.

During the Hundred Years' War, tens of thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, and the great plague caused by the Black Death killed 25 million people in Europe.

It was the sacrifice of these people that provided Nicolas Flamel with sufficient raw materials.

If he dared to publish the formula of the Philosopher's Stone, he would be the first dark wizard in history, and the despicable Hercule, Grindelwald, Voldemort and other dark wizards would have to bow down to him. You have to know that Voldemort was so cruel and inhumane, but he only killed a few hundred people.

Of course, Nicolas Flamel was not that evil. He did not kill so many people personally. Those people died in wars and plagues. They were natural disasters and man-made disasters. They were not caused by him. He just went with the flow.

Even so, people would blame him.

"No wonder that witch killed so many people. It turns out she also wanted to refine the Philosopher's Stone." Xiang Nan couldn't help but think.

He had found a lot of human tissue in the witch's bag before. He originally thought that she wanted to use these corpses to perform black magic, but now he realized that she wanted to refine the Philosopher's Stone.

"It's such a sin." Xiang Nan cursed, and then gave up the idea of ​​refining the magic stone.

In modern society, human life is of paramount importance, and killing one person is already a sin. If you kill tens of millions of people just to prolong your own life, that would be too cruel.

Moreover, there is a very scary setting in the magical world of "Harry Potter", that is, murder will cause the soul to split.

Every time you kill one person, your soul will split. If you kill thousands or tens of thousands of people, your soul will be broken into pieces.

Now Snape has Xiang Nan's soul in his body, and he doesn't want his soul to be split.

There are plenty of ways to live longer, and he can learn from other worlds in the future. It's really not worth taking such a risk.

……

During this period, Voldemort and the Death Eaters committed several bloody crimes.

During the Christmas holidays, they attacked several Muggle wizarding families in Aberdeen, Duffel and Plymouth.

Not only did they use the Avada Kedavra curse to take seven lives, they also used the Cruciatus Curse and the Imperius Curse to torture their Muggle neighbors, causing three people to become insane and two people to be seriously injured.

That was not all. In February, they attacked Swansea and Yorkshire, killing two Muggle wizards and torturing their Muggle neighbors with spells, again causing three madmen and one injury.

During the Easter holidays in April, Coventry and Middlesbrough continued to commit crimes. They created hurricanes and attacked the Coventry football stadium and Middlesbrough department store, causing more than 30 Muggle deaths and injuries...

In June, Voldemort and his Death Eaters intervened again during a Quidditch match between the Chudley Cannons and the Holyhead Harpies.

In front of hundreds of spectators, they brutally executed the Holyhead Harpies' batsman, the Muggle-born wizard Jason Ashton, with the Avada Kedavra Curse.

This move not only shocked the hundreds of spectators at the scene, but also shocked the entire wizarding world.

Voldemort and his accomplices began to carry out open activities in 1970, vigorously promoting the doctrine of "pure blood supremacy" and attacking Muggle-born wizards.

Up to now (1974), four years have passed, but the Ministry of Magic has turned a blind eye, perfunctorily shirking its responsibilities and not sending anyone to investigate or arrest.

Now Voldemort and his gang are acting more and more outrageously and brutally, and the Ministry of Magic has not yet figured out their true identities, let alone arresting them. It has even failed to control public opinion in the Daily Prophet.

To the extent that articles supporting the idea of ​​"pure-blood supremacy" still frequently appear in newspapers, the people have really had enough and have come out to protest, demanding that the Ministry of Magic take concrete actions to crack down on Voldemort and his gang.

The current Minister of Magic, Eugenia Jenkins, was forced to come out and state that she would take measures to crack down on Voldemort and his gang as soon as possible, and she pleaded with the public to give her another chance.
