An old man and a young man were walking on the grass covered with morning dew. The Hogwarts Castle in the distance was emitting colorful light under the rising sun. The brilliant colors reflected in the glass windows decorated the castle made of dark rocks. Gorgeous.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I'm always looking forward to the next encounter with it."
After walking out of the hut for more than ten meters, Dumbledore stopped and looked at the castle.
"Yes, it's beautiful." This was not the first time Harry saw Hogwarts bathed in the morning light. He nodded, "The colors are different every time I see it."
"Harry, how much do you know about the Three Deathly Hallows?"
Dumbledore asked a little abruptly. Although his voice was decisive, this was something that Dumbledore decided to tell Harry only after thinking about it several times.
"The Elder Wand is the most powerful medium for casting spells, and it is also a special wand. It is loyal to its owner, but it can also be held and used by anyone. I feel like it is like a loyal prostitute, with a pure heart hidden in her heart. Love, but surrendered to reality and never resisted."
"The invisibility cloak claims to be able to deceive the patrolling eyes of Death, bring an unprecedented sense of security to those who wear it, and lure them to provoke Death, never to return. It is like a glamorous lady. , but when it turns around, the hole in the tattered clothes will expose the silk underwear. If you believe in it too much, you will not be far from death."
"And the Resurrection Stone is the most vicious existence among the Three Holy Artifacts. Resurrection from the dead is just a wishful fantasy, and it can blur the boundary between this fantasy and reality. After arousing the softest part of your heart, it will tell you It pricks the most vicious needles and makes those who are obsessed with it die in the most miserable way."
Harry slowly said that he had never had a good impression of the Three Deathly Hallows. Although Harry would carry the Invisibility Cloak with him, he rarely used it and only used it when necessary. He knew the invisibility cloak. It had shortcomings, and those shortcomings destined Harry not to place it in a very important position.
"A very interesting metaphor." Dumbledore's expression was a little strange. He was holding the Elder Wand in his hand, but in Harry's mouth, the Elder Wand had become a loyal prostitute. This description was really novel.
"You are right. The three holy weapons of death do have different powerful powers, but they also have their own obvious flaws."
"Gail and I used to be fascinated by the Three Holy Artifacts. The symbol of his Wiccan Party was the pattern of the Three Holy Artifacts of Death. We once conducted in-depth research on them, to excavate the birth of the Three Holy Artifacts, and to study them. owner, especially the Elder Wand, which was the first thing Gale and I acquired."
"This is a Deathly Hallow without inheritance. It has no fixed owner. Every wizard who defeats the previous holder will be his new owner. While holding the Elder Wand, you will embark on the journey of A path destined to death, and no wielder of the Elder Wand has a happy ending, they will always die under the curse."
Dumbledore glanced at Harry. He pulled out the Elder Wand but did not change it into a gun. Instead, it returned to its original branch-like form.
"Do you know why?"
Dumbledore paused for a moment, and spoke without waiting for Harry to answer, "Because the Three Deathly Hallows are incomplete, or in other words, they are only half-finished products."
"I didn't discover this when I was studying the Elder Wand alone. It wasn't until I borrowed the Invisibility Cloak from your father that I slowly became aware of this secret."
"You should also realize that the invisibility cloak that claims to be able to deceive death can't actually hide much, right?"
"Dementors can see the breath of life under the invisibility cloak, hounds can smell leaked odors, and their ears can hear footsteps. Even in the rain, the invisibility cloak will expose the body. It will not make people disappear. It’s just deceiving the vision and hiding the magic power.”
"This is not because the invisibility cloak is not powerful enough, but because the invisibility cloak is not a prop that simply makes people invisible. Covering the body is just an incidental effect of it. It has not been processed at all, and the power it is showing now is not at all Its most important power.”
Harry didn't expect Dumbledore to tell him such a thing, but these words sounded reasonable. Although Harry couldn't explain why, he also vaguely felt that invisibility did not seem to be the real function of the invisibility cloak, but he But I can't tell, maybe because there isn't much research.
"Is this important? Professor Dumbledore?"
Harry, who felt that there was something in Dumbledore's words, asked with some doubts, but in thinking, he could not figure out why. Harry felt a little itchy in his heart and his interest was aroused.
"Maybe." Dumbledore said with some uncertainty, "I made some special discoveries while researching the Three Deathly Hallows. As the holder of the Invisibility Cloak, I think I should tell you what I have learned. Things to discover.”
"I think you should know that the peaceful life is about to be broken, and the root of all this comes from" Dumbledore pointed down, "the abyss."
"Although you have already seen some demons, and it is even quite easy to deal with them, but I hope you will not underestimate them because of last year's success. It is not without reason that wizards regard these stone men as their formidable enemies. This recent The thousand years of peace are not due to any earth-shaking changes in magic. The power of wizards is enough to suppress the abyss and prevent them from resisting."
"On the contrary, since thousands of years ago, wizards and the abyss have always been at a disadvantage in the war."
"If the war hadn't only occurred at a limited abyss portal, the magic world would have been invaded by those guys long ago. Even now, all we can do is guard the portal."
"Without the decisive victory in the war that took place thousands of years ago, the magical world would never have enjoyed hundreds of years of peace and stability."
"The Three Hallows of Death are related to the war that took place thousands of years ago."
"Maybe it's because of time, or more likely because it was deliberately concealed. There are very few historical records that we can find now. I can only make a guess. At that time, a very powerful demon clan appeared in the abyss. It was so powerful that It was enough to break the fragile balance between the magic world and the abyss at that time, so a life-and-death decisive battle occurred. I don’t know the process, but we all know the result.”
"The magic world has won the war. The wizards have won the war. The abyss has restrained its minions. The intensity of the abyss battlefield has dropped sharply, and peace has arrived."
"The legend of the Three Sacred Artifacts dates back to the point of victory. I visited Nico ten years ago. He is much more valuable in the magic world than I am. I asked him to help me find some information. I I figured out what the Three Sacred Artifacts are.”
"The demon clan that wanted to break the fragile balance between the magic world and the abyss was called a demon god. It was not a single individual, but seven in total. At the beginning, they were no different from the ordinary demon clan Ten Thousand Lords. But with the continuous fighting, they became stronger and stronger, and when the wizard realized that something was wrong, these seven demon gods had reached the final step of transformation."
"If they become one, then the demons will have the powerful power to directly open the abyss passage. At that time, the magic world will become a huge piece of cheese. While exuding an alluring sweetness, the interior will be filled with pipes extending in all directions. , endless demons will scurry around our world like a spurt, and it is simply impossible to keep them out of our world with wizards who are less than one ten thousandth of the total number of humans."
"At that time, the most powerful group of wizards in the magic world took the initiative to attack the abyss for the first time under the cover of countless people. The Awakeners, they called themselves Awakeners. They were the rarest among wizards with the inheritance of miraculous power buried in their bodies. They are also the most powerful members. We don’t know where their inherited power comes from, and they themselves can’t figure it out.”
"But it's not important. What's important is that they penetrated into the abyss and completely killed the seven-in-one demon god before it completed its final advancement. We won the final victory."
"No one saw them come back. There are legends that they died together with the seven demon gods in that war, but I don't think that's the case. They just hid in the magic world again, and people can't find them. That’s all.”
"If my guess is correct, there are three awakened people in Europe who have returned, and the Deathly Hallows are the trophies they brought back from that war. I don't know what the Resurrection Stone is, but I think... the Elder Wand It’s the demon god’s bones, and the invisibility cloak is the demon god’s skin.”
"Only in this way can I explain the extraordinaryness of the Deathly Hallows, which is extraordinary beyond common sense."
Dumbledore raised the Elder Wand slightly higher and transformed it into a pistol. The ivory-white Desert Eagle with seven-colored light lay flat in Dumbledore's hand. When he saw the pistol, Harry's The thought of taking it as his own appeared in his mind again. Although he suppressed it quickly, the thought still existed.
"The Elder Wand, actually we shouldn't call it a wand, nor should we call it a gun."
"Before the birth of the gun-shaped wand, it already existed. In the first record of the Elder Wand that I can find, its shape is a bow, an extremely luxurious bow. The wizard who holds it can shoot out seven colors. arrows to pierce through all the enemies in front of you."
"There is no limit to the Elder Wand. A normal wand needs to be processed and manufactured. The manufacturing process of the original bow-shaped wand and the current gun-shaped wand are very different, but they have one thing in common, and that is - the wand does not matter How it changes, its essence is a medium that can strengthen the wizard's spellcasting."
"And the attribute of the Elder Wand is that it is a super powerful spell-casting medium, and its shape change is just a by-product. And you will know this when you use it."
"Want to give it a try?"
Dumbledore handed the Elder Wand forward. Even if he is not the owner recognized by the Elder Wand, as long as the wizard holds it, the Elder Wand will serve him, but the service effect will be reduced, and there will be "I am not the owner of the wand". The DEBUFF that will help you beat my husband is here. If the wizard holding the Elder Wand uses it to deal with the original owner of the wand, the remaining loyalty of the Elder Wand will make it difficult for the user to harm its owner.
To put it simply: unless you let a married woman divorce her husband, as a wild man, although you can use her, you can't take her away. Apart from cuckolding her husband, you can't let her go. Beat her husband to death.
Harry was a little tempted, really a little tempted. Although he knew very well that he had no way to get the recognition of the Elder Wand and become its new owner, the temptation of this most powerful wand was not small. It was like being the husband of a fairy sister. Bring her to you and say to you: I'll give you a chance to be a dragon knight. Just go and enjoy it. I'll just take a look and don't ask you to be responsible.
Harry swallowed his saliva and raised his hand uncontrollably, approaching the 'Fairy Sister' lying in Dumbledore's palm.
"Forget it."
When he was about to touch the Elder Wand, Harry shook his head and put down his hand.
"Why?"
Dumbledore asked with a smile, "The Elder Wand does not refuse any wizard to use it. Although it cannot exert the best effect, it is still more powerful than any wand."
"That's not necessarily true." Harry held his ebony and white ivory, like Malzahar in his left hand and Gulinaza in his right hand. "They are also great."
"And I always feel that you, Professor, are going to laugh at me. I'd better not get involved in embarrassing things. I already have enough dark history, and I don't need to add to it."
Dumbledore chuckled, "I never thought of it that way."
"The Elder Wand cannot reload its magazine. Although it is the most powerful spell-casting medium in the world, it cannot use the spell set normally."
"That means it can be used abnormally?"
"Yes." Dumbledore nodded, "Just like using a sniper rifle, you can compress a spell group into a single cast, but it's just more difficult to do."
"I originally wanted you to experience the power of the Elder Wand, but since you refuse, forget it, just skip it. Let's talk about the invisibility cloak."
Dumbledore said with a smile, it was not for nothing that he had laid the groundwork before, but Harry was unwilling to cooperate, and Dumbledore could not force it.
Harry is the Awakener, which is something Dumbledore cares about.
He is quite interested in the awakened people. After all, the main force in the final war was this group of the most mysterious and powerful people in the magic world. I don’t know why, but the awakened people all have one thing in common, that is, they are low-key. There are no records of mysterious and powerful wizards. Even if there are, those are non-awakened wizards.
Take Harry's mother Lily, for example. Dumbledore was her principal for seven years. He didn't notice any difference in Lily at all. He just thought she was very smart and talented, that's all.
Harry is the most eye-catching awakened person. This may be because Harry is not pure. His awakening power comes from his mother's blood inheritance, which is not complete at all. It is even possible that Harry's child will directly Does not possess the power of an awakener.
"Then let me talk about the Invisibility Cloak. This is the only Deathly Hallows among the Three Holy Artifacts that has maintained its inheritance. It has been passed down from generation to generation in the Potter family since a long time ago. Perhaps the awakener who brought out the Invisibility Cloak The wizard may be the ancestor of the Potter family."
"I hope that in the future, Harry, you can find the true and correct use of the Invisibility Cloak."
Dumbledore looked at Harry with encouraging eyes, but at this moment——
"Professor Dumbledore! Harry!"
Hagrid's loud voice sounded, "The porridge is ready, come quickly!"
