Chapter 178 Slytherin's Wand (Thanks to the guardian "Snz" for the reward!)
According to Nicolas, the first half of his life was unremarkable, even a bit dull and boring.

One night, thunder and lightning, heavy rain, the world was dark, a black dragon appeared in the west, and a phoenix dreamed... well, none of these visions had anything to do with Nico.

He was just in a daze and had a dream:

A wizard with a hood came to him in a dream and told him that there was a legendary magic book in a cave on the northwestern shore of the Arabian Sea.

He only needs to take away the magic book, study hard and understand it thoroughly, then he can acquire extraordinary knowledge, marry Chun Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life from then on.

"When I woke up the next day, I started thinking about the dream."

Nico's tone was cheerful, as if he was recalling the scene of that day.

"At that time, before I had finished breakfast, I decided to sell all my belongings and set off to find the book at noon. The whole thinking process did not exceed 5 minutes."

William was speechless immediately. Who hasn't dreamed of strange things in their dreams?

When most people wake up, they just think about it. Few people will take the dream seriously, right?

If it had been carried out according to the dream, William would have been imprisoned in Azkaban and imprisoned for life.

Looking at William's expression, Nico said with a smile: "Yeah, it's ridiculous, isn't it? If it were me now, I wouldn't believe in this kind of dream, or I would hesitate. It is impossible to abandon everything recklessly and follow the dream guide to pursue.

But at that time, I was still very young, very impulsive, and did not consider the consequences of everything.

The most important thing is that I don't have much outstanding talent in magic, but one of my ancestors was a fortune-teller, and I also inherited this talent, which allows me to predict the future for a short time.

I thought... it was my ancestors dreaming of me. "

Nico walked around the chair, a smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "I sold the bookstore, borrowed a large sum of money, bought a batch of supplies and maps, and set off for the Arabian Sea alone .”

"Alabah Sea?" William asked puzzled.

"We were called the Arabah Sea at that time, which is the Dead Sea today." Nico pondered for a moment and said, "According to the memory in my dream, I searched for a whole year on the northwest coast of the Dead Sea.

I finally found the ruins in a cave where a large number of manuscripts were hidden. I found the alchemy book among a pile of parchment scrolls. "

William opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief, "Could it be the Dead Sea Scrolls you're talking about?"

Half a century ago, shepherds discovered a large collection of scrolls in caves near the ancient settlement of Qumran.

Archaeologists and treasure hunters landed in Gu Mulan one after another, and found about 40 caves in the Qumran Valley, 11 of which contained scriptures. A total of more than 600 ancient scriptures were found, dozens of them were relatively complete. There are tens of thousands of fragments.

These ancient scrolls were discovered in the Dead Sea, so they are collectively called "Dead Sea Scrolls" by the academic circles. They are a group of cultural relics whose value is difficult to estimate.

"That's right," Nicole nodded, "I noticed that Muggles call those scrolls the Dead Sea Scrolls.

But I prefer to call it The Book of Abraham. "

"Why didn't you take everything with you?" William asked.

"As I said earlier, I'm a big believer in the occult.

The man only asked me to take away the magic book in the dream, so I thought that other things were tests, so I didn't have the slightest greed and kept the rest of the items.

Of course, those parchment scrolls are Muggle stories, which are of no use to me. "

William nodded slightly, this is true.

Wizards in the magic world don't believe in religion, and the manuscript "Bible" is no different from blank paper to Nicole.

Flamel said slowly, "After I left the Dead Sea, I returned to Paris and began to study the Book of Abraham.

The book was a large ancient book, not made of paper or sheepskin like other books, but made of fine and smooth bark. "

"Elderbark?"

"That's right, it's exactly the same as the one in the death story!"

Flamel looked at William who was holding his breath and listening carefully, and said softly, "The text in the book is not in English, Latin, French or other languages ​​that Muggles can understand, but written in ancient runes.

It took me another 21 years to learn ancient runes. "

"The magic book is very thick, and it consists of seven pages divided into three groups.

Containing the home page, the seventh page of each group has no text.

On the seventh page of the first set, a wand being swallowed by a serpent is drawn, and on the seventh page of the second set, a goblet is drawn. "

"The wand and goblet swallowed by the giant python..." William raised his eyebrows, "Isn't this a gift from the second and third?"

"Yes." Nicole listened to the music in his ears, and after a while, a sarcasm appeared on his face.

"So the boss is still played by the god of death.

He wanted the alchemy book that contained everything, but without the wand and goblet, he couldn't see the contents of the second and third groups. "

"Then have you found those two things?"

Nico showed a regretful expression, "No, I have searched for 600 years and found nothing, but there are some clues."

Nico snapped his fingers, and a thick golden book floated over from the huge bookshelf.

The book read: "Pure-Blood Family Secrets."

The book was flipped quickly, and soon it turned to the position where the search letter was S, and the first page was Salazar Slytherin.

"According to the records in this book, Salazar Slytherin's wand is a snakewood wand with a core of basilisk horn, which is exactly the same as the wand of the second child in the story.

And he himself is a Parseltongue. "

"But no giant python devoured it." William said, looking at the book.

"Not really, but on Slytherin's wand, there is a giant python outlined.

Dumbledore also helped me get confirmation from those headmaster portraits. ’ Nico explained.

"But the Slytherin symbol is also a snake, maybe that's a coincidence."

"That's right, child." Nico said earnestly, "But you have to remember that there is no clear record of any Deathly Hallows in history.

We can only guess and look for clues in the vast history. "

William nodded and said, "What about Slytherin's wand? I remember it was recorded in the school history that he left the school."

"Yes, Slytherin did leave Hogwarts.

But before that, he passed the wand on to his children.By the early 17th century, it had become a Gaunt family heirloom. "

After Nico finished speaking, the book flipped through quickly, and soon arrived at the Gunter family.

"Unfortunately, Aesop Searle stole the wand from her aunt, Gormley Gaunt, and took the Mayflower to the New World of America."

"Aesop Searle?" William thought, "This name sounds familiar."

"Aesop and her husband co-founded Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the best school of wizardry in America.

But after she died, the clues were completely broken, and the wand disappeared from history. "

Nico sighed.

……

(Thanks to the law protector "Snz" for the reward of ten thousand coins, I owe one update.

ps Let me explain, the latest plot deviates from the main line.

But I have to write, after all, it belongs to the part of the outline that expands the world view, and then it is revealed with the god of death as the core.

As for the nine Deathly Hallows that have appeared so far, except for the protagonist's bronze ring and Nico's magic book, all others are magic items that appear in the original work or have indirect descriptions.

So all of them will follow one after another.

This episode will end soon, and I will return to the main line again, thank you.

No charge for less than [-] words. )
