Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

The effect of this spell is to create a magical circuit in front of the wand, and when magic power is input, it forms missiles that are launched in a straight line.

Although its attack power is not high, this magic circuit can exist indefinitely until your magic power is exhausted. It can be described as the Gatling gun of the magic world.

After finding the ominous spirit, Zicomo used the summoning bell to ring the ashes of the lone wolf, summoning three dogs to hold it back while he himself, with a blue drop bottle in one hand and a magic wand in the other, brutally killed the boss.

That's how Grek was taken away by him. Poor Grek, in the second phase he got a dragon head on his hand, which for Zikomo was nothing short of an opportunity to max out his dragon breath immunity.

Zikomo had been holding out with Grek for two hours, but Grek's immunity wasn't even full before he could no longer breathe dragon's breath. Taking pity on him, Zikomo unleashed a five-minute barrage of crystal attacks that sent him back to the Golden Tree.

After defeating the two bosses, he achieved two more accomplishments and gained two opportunities to materialize. Furthermore, his physique and magic power received a slight boost.

What? You mean you can summon heroic spirits for help at the entrance? Sorry, I'm not familiar with that. I'm mainly worried my wife, Lani, might misunderstand.

Especially Roger, who was hiding in Stoneville, was the one whom Zicomo saw and ran away.

Fearing that running too late would trigger the side quest to investigate 'Night of Conspiracy' and make Lani think that she had ulterior motives for getting close to her.

Although Lani says she doesn't care in the game, Zicomo remembers deeply that his wife is a proud and arrogant princess.

Sometimes you have to listen to her in reverse.

After that, Zikomo spent two days running to the Raine Mage Tower in the northeast corner of Galid.

On the bridge nearby, the Night Rider would roam whenever night fell.

This Night Knight will drop a very powerful War Ash - Hound's Pace.

This combat skill is extremely powerful, although the description of the combat skill states: "It can make you disappear instantly and move by stepping."

But in Zicomo's view, it's just a flash skill, and one with no cooldown at that.

Under the strange gaze of the blacksmith Xiu Gu, Zicomo embedded the combat technique into his yew wand. He also enhanced the wand as a result.

[Yew Wand +5: A wand with a dragon heartstring core. After enhancement, it has a hardness exceeding that of steel, can channel magic more quickly, and can amplify the power of magic by 25%.]

Combat Skill: Hound's Pace

Zicomo wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the tip of his wand had become sharper.

Unbeknownst to him, Xiu Gu thought he was about to become an assassin, so he helped him by not only reinforcing the wand's hardness but also increasing its penetrating power. Now his wand is definitely a large-sized Thousand Books.

If you were to use it to stab someone, you could easily kill a child.

Zicomo wanted to embed Hound's Pace into his wand simply because he didn't want to waste a powerful skill.

Chapter Ten: The Veil of Mimicry, Plotting to Obtain the Philosopher's Stone

In the following days, Zicomo found something good in Stoneville.

This wonderful item is called the [Mimetic Veil]. Its effect is that it consumes magic power to mimic various items.

Zicomo discovered that this veil could also mimic a human, but the reason it's not allowed in the game is probably to prevent some players from doing strange things while wearing the face of an NPC.

Today is July 31st, the day Hagrid took Harry Potter to Diagon Alley to retrieve the Philosopher's Stone for Dumbledore.

With this mimicry veil, Zicomo plans to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

This is the culmination of alchemical knowledge, the Holy Grail that alchemists have long regarded as their holy grail.

Although Zicomo felt that the Philosopher's Stone was a defective product, it wasn't that the Philosopher's Stone was damaged.

Rather, it means that the Philosopher's Stone has already been... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context).

But Zicomo didn't value the energy inside much; what he valued was the crafting technique of the Philosopher's Stone.

With a world as his backing, he naturally didn't need to start researching from scratch.

Understanding how the Philosopher's Stone is made is naturally quite easy. All you need to do is shout "Teacher Seren!" and then wait for the result.

When Zikomo first entered the magical world, he was like a dry sponge, constantly trying to absorb more knowledge to enrich his inner self.

Alchemy is undoubtedly a magical discipline. Unfortunately, Hogwarts doesn't teach it, and even bookstores don't carry books on it.

Zicomo knew Nico Ⅶ 诤耤????瑦?舯糥?胥詥?韥???

But they don't know him, so why should they teach him alchemy?

Moreover, Zicomo always felt that these old men were too cunning. If you think about Dumbledore's speaking style, it's a mix of truth and lies, nine parts of what he says are true and one part is false. And yet, you don't know which part is true.

Although in the original work he said Nicola P.V. was...

But who knew Nico VII

He didn't live alone for over 600 years; he had a wife to accompany him. Who would believe that he was tired of living?

Besides, alchemy isn't absent from the Elden Ring. Just look at those Platinum Children; the mages in the borderlands have already started researching how to create humans.

The technology is still not perfect; the results are either frog heads or muscles below the thighs that are weak.

So Zicomo plans to get his hands on the Philosopher's Stone and have it studied by either Professor Seren or his wife Lani. If all else fails, he can always go to his mother-in-law, Rena La.

Let's see if we can perfect the human body transformation, otherwise it's not good to see them wearing puppet bodies all day long.

He remembered that Lani's doll body and her soul were not so well-matched, and she would occasionally fall into a deep sleep.

…………

Early in the morning, Zicomo found a secluded corner, released his avatar, and controlled it to come to the entrance of Gringotts in Diagon Alley to set up an ambush.

He transformed himself into a stone using the veil of mimicry and crouched in a deserted alley near Gringotts, awaiting Hagrid's arrival.

Not long after, he saw a figure much taller than ordinary people walking towards Gringotts from the diagonal entrance.

Upon closer inspection, it became apparent that the tall man was holding the hand of a thin little boy.

The pairing is none other than Hagrid and Harry.

The two entered Gringotts and came out shortly after. By then, Zicomo had already seen the package in Hagrid's hand.

He quickly transformed into the appearance of a strange man he saw on the street.

Pretending to walk past Hagrid in a hurry, she accidentally knocked the package out of Hagrid's hand.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Hagrid complained.

"I'm sorry, I have an urgent matter to attend to. I'm truly sorry."

While apologizing, Zicomo picked up the package from the ground with his back to Hagrid.

The instant he picked it up, he swapped the package he had conjured with a polymorph spell in his system space with the package containing the magic stone.

Yes, after Professor McGonagall's demonstration and by reading books on Transfiguration these past few days, he has become proficient in using Transfiguration.

After apologizing, Zicomo turned and left, quickly arriving at an empty alley. Zicomo then remotely recalled his avatar.

Unbeknownst to him, Dumbledore had already sensed this the moment he returned the Philosopher's Stone to his system space.

The instant his avatar disappeared, Dumbledore had already Apparated to Hagrid's side.

"Professor Dumbledore, what brings you here!"

"Oh, right! This is Harry, I've successfully caught him."

"And I've also retrieved what you asked me to get," Hagrid reported.

"No, the package has already been stolen."

“My old friend gave me a tool that could sense that stone, but just now, the connection between the two was lost.”

Dumbledore solemnly took the package and tapped it lightly with his wand. The package turned into a roadside brick.

"how come……"

"It's him!"

Hagrid had clearly figured out who had taken the package.

"Who?"

“A middle-aged man who looked like he was in a hurry just knocked over the package. He must have switched it when he picked it up.”

"It must be just as you said. Which direction did he run in?"

"there!"

Hagrid pointed to a dark alleyway.

Dumbledore and Hagrid rushed over and found it was a dead end.

"Could it be that he used Apparition?"

Hagrid guessed.

"No, there shouldn't be. I didn't sense any spatial traces of apparition after I arrived. And there's no fluctuation of the door key around here."

As Dumbledore answered Hagrid's question, he pulled out his wand and pointed it at the alley.

"Image restored!"

A burst of light and shadow flew from the wand, quickly transforming into the middle-aged man that Zicomo had previously appeared in.

However, the image disappeared instantly after running into the depths of the alley.

Dumbledore assumed the middle-aged man was using invisibility magic, so he activated his perception magic, quickly enveloping the entire Diagon Alley.

They attempted to locate the thief based on the man's appearance in previous footage.
