Chapter 174 The Gift of the God of Death

Mercury coughed, and slowly told the story he knew.

It's the same river, the three brothers and the hooded Death.

"You have escaped death with your ingenuity, choose a reward." Death said.

The boss is a potion master. He told Death that he wants a magical crucible: the crucible can automatically brew any desired potion without the owner's hands!
Death went to an elder tree on the bank, and broke off a branch with white flowers on it.

He went to the bank of the river again, dug out the soil with a branch, squeezed out a crucible with a strange shape, and gave it to the boss.

The second child is a wizard who yearns for knowledge. He tells Death that he wants to gain the same wisdom as Death.

So the god of death took the elderberry branch that had dug the soil, wound it into a garland, and gave it to the second child.

The god of death told the second child that after wearing this garland, he can gain the same knowledge as him.

Death asked the youngest third what he wanted.

The third child is the most humble and the smartest, he doesn't believe in death, so he wants something that can make him not be controlled by time.

Reluctantly, the god of death chopped off his right index finger and handed it to him. It was a slender index finger phalanx.

As long as he has this phalanx, the third child can control time.

After presenting the rewards, the god of death stood in the way and let the three brothers continue on their way.

They walked and talked about the wonderful experience just now, admiring the gift of the god of death.

Later, the three brothers broke up and moved towards their respective destinations.

The boss walked for more than a week, and he first said to the crucible: "Crucible, crucible, I am very old, my legs and feet are not convenient, and I need a potion of immortality."

Soon, red liquid emerged from the crucible.

After the boss drank it, he really felt that he was decades younger, and his whole body was full of vigor.

He knew he would never grow old again, he got eternal life!

Later, the boss came to a small remote mountain village, and the villagers in that mountain village had a strange disease, which no one could cure.

The boss boasted that the crucible he got from the god of death could brew any potion.

He is willing to heal the villagers, but everyone needs to pay a large sum of gold.

The rich villagers gave all their gold to the boss, and after drinking the potion he gave, they were cured.

For those villagers who have no money, the boss refuses to treat them.

Every night, the eldest drank the potion from the cauldron: it was a potion for sweet dreams and made him sleep more comfortably.

One night in the middle of the night, a poor villager sneaked into the boss's room, stole the cauldron from his bed, cut his throat, and took the gold.

In this way, Death took the boss's life.

At the same time, the second child returned to his home. He has a newborn child and a beautiful wife.

But the second child is not happy, the infinite knowledge allows him to master everything.He knows the vastness of the universe, the infinity of time and space...

Human beings are nothing, and family affection is nothing, but they are all ants and dust.

Soon, he found that there was something he didn't know, and that was...death.

Death can take away all life, but cannot kill himself.

The second child who has obtained the wisdom of death has never tasted this kind of taste.

So he killed his wife and children.

One day, the garland was blown off by a strong wind, and the knowledge of death was gone, and he regained his feelings.

Seeing the corpses of his wife and children killed by himself, he couldn't bear to live, so he committed suicide.

In this way, the god of death took the life of the second child.

However, the god of death has been looking for the third child for many years, but has never been able to find him.

It turned out that the third child was afraid of being discovered, so he joined the phalanx end to end to make a phalanx ring, which he kept on his right index finger.

He has been using this phalanx to let himself live the day before meeting the god of death, and never let the next day come, so that the god of death will not be able to find him.

After many years, the third child finally got tired of this kind of life. He had enough, so he used the phalanx ring to adjust the time to the day when he was about to die of old age.

The third child finally took off the ring, let the time pass slowly, and then greeted death like an old friend, and happily left the world with him as an equal.

Mercury finally finished the story.

Newt wasn't too surprised, as if he'd heard the story before.

William frowned tightly and clenched his chest with his right hand, where a ring was hanging.

— Ravenclaw Bronze Ring!

Regarding the old Beedou's version of the story of the god of death and the three brothers, William didn't touch much, just took it as a story.

After all, he doesn't have the strongest wand, the resurrection stone to resurrect others, and the invisibility cloak.

But he has a ring that can repeat a day, and doesn't have the drawbacks of a time-turner.

Too coincidental things, sometimes more than just a coincidence.

So...does it mean that the crucible that automatically brews all potions and the wreath with infinite wisdom also exist?

In fact, why does the wreath effect sound so much like a Ravenclaw diadem?

Could it be that Ravenclaw once collected two of the three things?

William's thoughts quickly diverged: If all these exist, does it mean that the god of death also really exists?
As Newt said: Sirens are the guides of the underworld and the most loyal servants of Death.

William couldn't make up his mind.

At this time, Hermione suddenly said: "Two very interesting stories, both about Death and the three brothers.

But I think this is just a story for entertainment.

As you have heard, there have been two versions of this story, and perhaps a third and a fourth.

Anyone can fabricate the three gifts of the god of death at will according to their own ideas. "

Mercury smiled respectfully, "I don't know either. This story was told by my great-grandfather when he was a child."

After a moment of silence, Newt glanced around, they were very close to Nico's manor.

He looked back and said, "That's it, these stories are just an old man's nonsense."

In fact, Dumbledore told him the same back then, but it soon proved that he was tricked and went around to help Dumbledore find the Deathly Hallows.

At this moment, a stupid Niffler came out of Newt's pocket.
It glanced warily at Hermione and William, then set its sights on William.

With its unique racial talent, it can tell at a glance which of the two little wizards here is richer.

So it sneaked out and sneaked along Thunderbird's feathers, trying to steal Garen from William's pocket.

Its claws reached into the small pouch of the Untraceable Stretching Charm, and suddenly grabbed a furry thing.

Xixiu pulled hard and pulled an orange cat out.

Bobo Tea, which had been sleeping in the bag, was startled. It gave the nasty little thief a vicious look, and then swooped up with its paws.

With a scream, Xixiu fell down.

William's wand spun, and Xixiu floated up, and his whole body was bound by the binding spell.

Fred kept a Niffler, and William is now very comfortable with this little guy.

Newt smiled, reached out and scratched Niffler's stomach.

Crashing, a lot of shiny things fell out of it.

"This is Nico's alchemy item," Newt sighed and said angrily, "I won't bring you next time!"

William picked up a golden coin among a pile of alchemy items.

-Victoria's Secret Commemorative Coins!
The way William looked at Newt suddenly became very strange.
