After saying that, Zicomo took out an exquisite necklace from his pocket and handed it to Leah.

"Lia, here, consider this my birthday gift to Lillian."

"Thank you." Leah took the necklace.

Snape seemed to have discovered something.

He looked at the red gemstone on the necklace and asked, "Could that stone be a magic stone?"

He had used the Philosopher's Stone before, and it was Zicomo who gave it to him.

So it's not surprising that he could recognize the Philosopher's Stone.

"Hmm, this is the one I gave you back then..." Zicomo readily admitted.

Before Zicomo could finish speaking, Hermione exclaimed, "The Philosopher's Stone?!"

Hermione's voice drew everyone's attention at the table.

"Honey, what's wrong with the magic stone?"

Mrs. Granger was curious as to why her daughter had reacted so strongly to those three words.

"Mom, that's a magic stone! A magic stone that can turn stones into gold, and even make elixirs of immortality."

Upon hearing this, both Granger and his wife looked at the necklace in Leah's hand.

On the contrary, Leah hesitated for a moment before handing the necklace back to Zicomo.

“Zicomo, this gift is far too precious.”

Zicomo did not take the necklace, but waved his hand and said, "It's not as exaggerated as Hermione said. You saw the size of this Philosopher's Stone; it's just a small fragment."

As you know, Lillian's cells have a shorter lifespan than normal children. This necklace I made will gradually channel the energy of the Philosopher's Stone into the wearer's body.

Lilian wore it to improve her physical condition, helping Lillian to become stronger and live longer.

After hearing Zicomo's words, Leah finally accepted the necklace.

In reality, the magic stone on that necklace was more effective than Zicomo claimed; it could easily allow the wearer to live to be two hundred years old.

After all, she was his goddaughter, so Zicomo naturally wanted to treat her well.

Hermione, forgetting about her meal, pestered Zicomo, asking, "Cousin, where did you get this Philosopher's Stone? Did you switch it with Dumbledore's from last semester?"

"Just consider this as me accidentally obtaining the recipe for the Philosopher's Stone and then making it myself."

Zicomo didn't explain much, and Hermione knew that if Zicomo didn't want to talk about it, there was no point in asking.

So Hermione stopped asking about it.

“Ahem, little Zicomo, do you still have this kind of necklace?” Mrs. Granger asked suddenly, somewhat embarrassed.

Every woman is concerned about her age, especially middle-aged women like Mrs. Granger.

"Ahem, um, do you have men's styles?"

This is a question from Mr. Granger, who just heard it: this necklace can also improve health.

Zicomo never expected that the gift he casually gave to his goddaughter would be so popular.

He smiled helplessly and said, "I only made this one serving. If you want more, I'll go back and make a few more using the remaining magic stones."

The Grangers nodded repeatedly, while the others didn't seem to care much.

Snape had prepared a lifespan of several hundred years using Zicomo's Philosopher's Stone long before.

Lani and the others don't need it. She and Rataen are a god and only a soul, respectively, so lifespan is not something they need to worry about.

Even Laya can now live for several thousand years.

Don't forget that when Zikomo resurrected her, the magic crystal he used also absorbed some of Lacad's life force.

The matter of the Philosopher's Stone was put aside, and everyone continued eating and drinking.

Zicomo suddenly remembered what he had been talking about with Snape, and he continued the conversation.

"By the way, Lucius invited me to his house to engrave runes for his son. I'm planning to go tomorrow. Do you want to come and take a look?"

"Did you tell him about the runes?" Snape asked.

"No, I just told Draco that I have a way to get stronger quickly, and asked him to go back and discuss it with his father."

"What price will they have to pay this time?"

"Not much, 100,000 Galleons plus all of their rare books."

Snape gasped. Good heavens, 100,000 Galleons wasn't much. Even if he switched to selling potions, it would take him several years to earn that much money.

This made him even more conflicted. What price would he have to pay to get Zicomo to make him get a set too?

Finally, Snape agreed to go to the Malfoys' house with Zicomo. He planned to see the runes Zicomo had mentioned before making a decision.

…………

The next morning around nine o'clock, Snape appeared at the entrance of Malfoy Manor with Zicomo.

In fact, Zicomo's decision to bring Snape along was partly due to his reluctance to travel.

Snape must have been to the Malfoys' house before; he could Apparate with him and they arrived in no time.

Noticing someone Apparating to the entrance of Malfoy Manor, the house-elf Dobby suddenly appeared.

"It's Mr. Snape! Oh! And Harry Potter too?"

"Huh? How do you, a Malfoy house-elf, know that Chicomo is Harry?"

Before Dobby could answer, Zicomo spoke first: "Of course, it's because Dobby is always around Harry..."

Zicomo gave a general account of Dobby's involvement with Harry, including the foolish things Dobby did to protect Harry.

After understanding the situation, Snape didn't pursue it further, since the issue of the heir had already been resolved.

Dobby looked at Zicomo with a grateful expression.

"Oh! Thank you for explaining to Dobby. You truly are a good friend of Mr. Po."

Zicomo had no idea what Dobby was thinking; he simply couldn't understand the thought process of house-elves.

He waved his hand and said, "Alright, Dobby. We're here to visit the Malfoys; here's the invitation."

As he spoke, Zicomo pulled out the invitation that Draco had given him from his pocket.

Dobby took the invitation, opened it, and after confirming its contents, said:

"Yes, esteemed guest, please come in. I will go and inform the master immediately."

After saying that, he snapped his fingers and disappeared from the spot.

Zicomo: "He just left us here like that?"

"Let's go, I'll take you in."

Snape didn't say much, clearly having grown accustomed to the eccentricities of the Malfoys' house-elves.

Stepping into the Malfoy family's manor, the environment can only be described as magnificent and grand.

Upon entering, you'll find a charming little garden, where, in the springtime season, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom.

Behind the garden is a classic three-story European-style villa, with an overall design that is noble yet not gaudy, and decorations that are elegant and sophisticated.

Zicomo admired the surrounding scenery, but what he was thinking was whether he should also build a manor like that.

Anyway, he's not short of money, so it's not a bad idea to set up a place for him to vacation.

Well, it’s such a happy decision.

Go back and ask Lockhart if he knows anything about this; he plans to... (The sentence is incomplete and lacks context).

The main reason for choosing that place was because it was a wizard village, making it easier to use magic there.

Upon arriving at the villa's entrance, Lucius was already waiting there with Draco.

"Welcome, Zicomo. And you, Severus, what brings you here too?"

“I’ll come with him to check on things,” Snape replied.

Draco greeted the two of them as well.

"By the way, didn't that lady come?"

Lucius was naturally referring to Lani, after all, the first impression Lani left on him was really too deep.

“Lani doesn’t like to be in the public eye, but of course I can call her over if you want to see her,” Zicomo joked.

Anyway, Lani is currently in his "Zen Garden".

"No, no, I won't trouble Ms. Lani."

Lucius waved his hands repeatedly; he didn't want to see that jinx again.

"Father, should we go in first?" Draco suggested.

"Yes, please come in. Let's go inside and talk."

Lucius realized what was happening and quickly invited Zicomo and Snape into the villa.

The four sat down on the sofa in the hall, and Dobby suddenly appeared with tea and snacks, placing them in front of them.
