Chapter 163 I'm a Dark Wizard! 6k (thanks to Sadox for the reward!!!)
Luke looked at the old man in front of him, without any sign of panic, but with a look of interest on his face.
"In the magical world, besides goblins, are there human blacksmiths?"
Luke looked at the old man and asked curiously.
There are blacksmiths in the wizarding world. After all, whether it is those exquisite magic ornaments or the famous Gryffindor sword, they are not transformed at one time by using the transformation technique, but are actually hammered one by one. Knocked out.
It's just that those with such skills are often goblins.Don't look at the ugly appearance of these little things, but their craftsmanship is recognized by everyone. They seem to be born magic craftsmen and have an amazing talent for forging.Whether it's the belt on Luke's waist that can be used repeatedly to add gems, or the sword of Gryffindor, they are all their works.
As for Luke so far, he has seen many human beings produce magic props like broomsticks, but the kind of high-strength defensive or offensive magic props, as well as high-quality magic swords, are all made by goblins. of.
Of course, it is also because magic swords have been kicked out of the stage of history. Why Gryffindor is keen on using swords is still a mystery.
No one is quite sure why Gryffindor would use the sword as his weapon.Unfortunately, Luke has never seen the sword himself, so he doesn't know if it has something to do with talent.
From the perspective of demand and market share, the profession of blacksmith has never risen in the magic world.The past, present, and future are all the same.
This is the first time that Luke has seen a live human magic blacksmith, especially one who knows super strength and good craftsmanship at a glance.
"You kid, aren't you afraid of me? I'm a vicious dark wizard!"
The old man couldn't even be said to be calm when he looked at it, but he could only be said to be Luke, who was free and easy, with a confused look on his face.
Seriously, being taken to a place I don't know by someone with unknown purpose, is it really easy to calm down like this?
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres. 】
As soon as he said this, Luke froze for a moment, and then looked at him with a confused face. The old man looked at his expression as if he was questioning his IQ, and there was a "pop" from his ear. The voice and the fierce expression on his face were almost unstoppable.
"What are you looking at! Hurry up and hand over the things to me!"
He showed the most ferocious expression he felt, and while roaring, he also picked up the big hammer for blacksmithing from his feet.The weight of the hammer was ridiculous at first glance.But when dancing in the hands of the old man, it looks as light as a plastic toy.
"How much did Dumbledore sell me for?"
Luke wasn't flustered at all, but he didn't try to provoke the old guy anymore, after all, the hammer had no eyes, and the embarrassment that the emotional dust showed was not fake.
Only he and Dumbledore knew about the fact that the Sorcerer's Stone was broken into powder, and Taylor at most. After all, it was better to keep this matter a secret.
Now suddenly an old man with a white beard popped out, saying that he wanted to hand over the magic stone powder by himself.
If you think about it with your ass, you know it's Dumbledore's mess.But what Luke couldn't understand was that there was no need to hide this matter from Luke at all.
Even if it is to test whether the Philosopher's Stone still exists, such a method is too low-level.
The old man was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't understand why Luke mentioned Dumbledore's name.
But when he was stunned, he had already told Luke the answer.
After reacting for a while, the old man's face sank, and he was about to blurt out and deny Luke's guess.Even if there is such a guess, it is meaningless. If he really wants to threaten, he doesn't believe that this kid can still be so calm.
And just as he was about to speak, Dumbledore's voice came in from outside the door.
"Okay, Gibson...Jesus, after all these years your brain is still inversely proportional to your brawn..."
Dumbledore looked helplessly at the guy who Luke had seen through at a glance.Why doesn't he want to come to France.Because France has the ambitious and aggressive Mrs. Maxim who thinks about knocking other magic schools including Hogwarts to the ground all day long, and her work efficiency is extremely low, which is worse than that of the British Ministry of Magic. A Ministry of Magic with unbearable administrative efficiency.A group of powerful nobles who have never been weakened and suppressed, and that place that makes him sad.
France was really not a friendly country to him.Especially with teammates like this.
"I really shouldn't have any expectations of your acting skills."
Dumbledore said helplessly.
The old man called Gibson moaned and crossed his arms, but there was no rebuttal on his face.
Dumbledore turned his head to look at Luke, and then realized that Luke had pointed his wand at him at some point.
"Professor, give me an explanation. I know you mean no harm, but that doesn't mean I'm not angry."
Just kidding, he knew very well that once he came to France, he would be used by Dumbledore in various ways.But at the same time, he was also using Dumbledore.It was inevitable that he would come to France, and judging from his previous performance, even if he chose the Muggle mode of transportation, which had the lowest possibility of being noticed, he would still be noticed.
If you come to France alone, it is really hard to say whether the current experience will be worse.
"As you can see, there are too many people who are interested in you. If you just go to Nico like this, it will not only cause him trouble, but also cause us more trouble."
Dumbledore didn't care one bit about Luke's wand pointed at him.To put it bluntly, if he encountered such a situation, he would raise his wand and question the other party without hesitation.
Judging from the expression on his face, Luke still remained calm, which was enough to be sober.
After hearing this reason, Luke nodded. To be honest, he really didn't realize it before, but now he realizes that he is really the same as Elder Tang now.When I passed by, any ghosts and snakes really dared to jump out.
Counting the Strange family and the old man in front of him, after only two days in France, four waves of people have come to his door, with good and bad attitudes and different purposes.
But there is still one thing in common.
They were all running for Luke.It's as if catching Luke now will make him immortal...
Ah, it seems that it can really work, then it's okay...
Luke also had a basic understanding of his current situation.
"What you told me before, as well as the information about the residence disclosed by Mr. LeMay...are all false."
Luke tucked his wand back into his sleeve.He patted his dust-stained robes.Then Luke smiled at Dumbledore: "Professor, let's go now?"
"That won't work!"
Before Dumbledore could speak, Gibson shook his head again and again, swinging the hammer back and forth.
"Dumbledore has agreed, I'll bring you the man, and you ask him to give me the powder of the Philosopher's Stone."
Gibson gesticulated a short distance with his forefinger and thumb over the money in his big bell-like eyes.
"A little bit will do."
Dumbledore was a little embarrassed for a while, and turned to look at Luke.Luke had a nonchalant expression on his face.This look was not at all what Dumbledore expected.
He knew from the beginning that Luke couldn't compromise with him so easily.
"What I'm saying is that as long as you bring him here, you have a chance to get the Philosopher's Stone powder, Gibson."
Dumbledore didn't hesitate for a few seconds, turned his head quickly, and said to Gibson.The real length in his eyes couldn't be more obvious, as if he thought so from the beginning.
But Luke didn't believe a single punctuation mark, and Gibson's frown and two puffs of white nose suddenly confirmed his guess.But to Luke's surprise... Gibson didn't fall out with Dumbledore, no, he didn't even complain.
"Well, I want the magic stone powder in your hand, let's make a deal."
It can be seen that although he is a bit aggrieved, when he said this, he was sincere.
Luke felt completely shocked, no, old man, have you been puaed by Dumbledore?
But looking at Gibson's ugly face and the sledgehammer held in his hand with blue veins, Luke still chose to swallow this question back to his stomach.
"Answer my first question first."
Luke was not flustered either, his expression became more and more relaxed, and he even pulled out his wand again, and then a chair 'grown' from the ground. Luke sat on the chair and said with a very sincere expression.
"What did you ask in the first place?!"
Gibson said angrily.
He crossed his arms and slammed his butt on his own iron bench.
Luke restrained the desire to twitch the corner of his mouth, now is not the time to complain.
"What I'm asking is, are you a human magic blacksmith? What can you make? What do you want the magic stone powder for?"
His barrage of questions made Gibson's frown even tighter.
"Did you ask so many questions in the beginning? I have a bad memory, but you still can't fool me with such obvious wrongness!"
Gibson looked at Luke and said fiercely.
Luke felt dazed...
"It's not important, forget it, just answer my question just now."
Luke rubbed his brow with the heel of his palm, and said helplessly.
Seeing him like this, Gibson turned his head to look at Dumbledore, who nodded to him speechlessly.Dumbledore really doubted whether what this guy took to sacrifice his sword would be his non-combat reaction speed and IQ.
Gibson frowned and organized his words for a while, and then said: "Of course I am a human magic blacksmith. I know what you mean, but although we are a minority, we are indeed not extinct. We are still forging iron and looking for new weapons for wizards." way forward."
"The way forward for the wizard's new weapon", Luke keenly captured this keyword, but he didn't say anything, and continued to listen to Gibson's narration with a normal expression.
And Gibson didn't care about Luke's face, just talking to himself.
"My family mainly forges magic swords. You should have heard of the legend of Gryffindor's sword. The ideal of our family is to create a magic sword that surpasses that sword."
"I think the forging of that sword is not just a gap in skills. No, it should be said that our things are not much different from goblins in terms of skills. It's just that our materials are really problematic."
"When fairies are forging, the materials they often use are fairy gold and fairy silver. When they mix these two metals into other metals to form alloys, special properties will appear."
When he said this, Gibson's eyes were full of helplessness: "The goblin gold and goblin silver are special products of goblins. Even if they were defeated in the war, they didn't call out the refining methods of these two metals."
"But they are alchemy items after all, right! Then if the peak of alchemy, the Sorcerer's Stone, can be my forging material, I think I will be able to forge a magic sword far superior to the Gryffindor sword."
After hearing this, Luke really wanted to give the person in front of him a big compliment.Isn't this pure nonsense, Luke doesn't know the process of making Fairy Gold and Fairy Silver, but he understands that the Philosopher's Stone and these two things are not on the same level at all.
If we say that those two are all epic forging materials.Then the Sorcerer's Stone is an artifact-level forging material.This is Harry Potter's world, not Fullmetal Alchemist's.In this world, the Sorcerer's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone, is said to be the only one.
If this kind of thing is used as a forging material, it must be strong. If nothing else, the powerful magic power alone is enough to make that magic sword extraordinary.And maybe there is something strange about it.
For example, the younger you are, the younger you get, until you cut a person into a human cub and have no fighting power.Or it can in turn absorb the vitality of others...
The idea is good, but Luke can forge such a weapon by learning how to blacksmith.And maybe the cast is better than Gibson, because Luke is more familiar with the nature of the Philosopher's Stone than Gibson.
You know, if this sword is really cast, any skill will eventually become the foil of the Philosopher's Stone.
The old guy in front of him can only be described as whimsical.
"You don't have to look at me that way, I don't mean it that way."
This time, Gibson noticed Luke's eyes: "I don't want to be coerced by the material, I know that my level is not enough to cast a sword with a whole piece of the Sorcerer's Stone. So this idea has always been just an idea , I don't even mention it."
"But it's different now!" Gibson talked about the emotional part, staring at Luke with a fiery face, and pressed a big iron-like hand on Luke's shoulder and said to Luke, "Now the Philosopher's Stone is broken! This is such a beautiful thing! A whole Sorcerer's Stone won't work, and even a small piece of Sorcerer's Stone won't work, so a little bit of Sorcerer's Stone powder will always work. Anyway, the Sorcerer's Stone is already broken, so it's better to use waste to let me See if you can forge it into a sword."
"As long as you promise to give me the powder, I am willing to give you the most successful sword ever cast!"
"Anyway, your family background and reputation, as well as your ability from just now, are all pretty good. You shouldn't insult that sword."
Luke looked at the excited Gibson, not knowing what to say for a while.
He could tell that the old man in front of him really wanted this powder.He seems to intend to use this to realize his ultimate wish, but this initiative is in vain.
"Because there is no Sorcerer's Stone powder at all... That thing is ridiculously hard, and it really can't be smashed."
Luke thought helplessly in his heart.After the Sorcerer's Stone is practiced, it becomes a whole. Before the magic power in it is used up, this thing can be called indestructible.
Luke didn't know whether Nicole had told Dumbledore this information, but judging from Dumbledore's continuous temptations, I'm afraid he really didn't know the news.That's why he tried every means to test whether the Philosopher's Stone was still there.The dinner last night was indeed not premeditated by Dumbledore, but Dumbledore might not have followed the same high-ranking nobleman, especially when the other party put on a posture of an elder, and even put out his beautiful granddaughter The situation, to test whether Luke is holding the Philosopher's Stone.
Luke didn't know why he was so persistent, but Luke knew that things must not be handed over.Even if it is handed over, it must be negotiated at a suitable price at a suitable time and a suitable place.
Of course he would not accept this temptation.
"Although I agree with your thoughts. I can also feel your sincerity and enthusiasm..." Luke stared at the hammer hanging high, and at the same time, he used his hands to break away the painful hand on his shoulder pinched by Gibson. "But he doesn't own this thing, it's useless for me to tell him!"
Luke looked helpless.
This really made Gibson anxious and anxious.
"But this thing is broken, even if you return it to Nicole Flamel, he won't be able to use it anymore, and if you want to blame you for this, it is definitely not because there is a little powder missing your."
He looked at Luke eagerly, not at all as brave as he was at first.
"I just want a little bit, really just a little bit."
His fingers are still pointing to the inter-universe gesture.
"If the Philosopher's Stone is still intact, I can intercept it for you to use, not only because you are Professor Dumbledore's friend, but also because I can see that you are a person with pursuit, and the Philosopher's Stone, Chances are it really is the last piece of the puzzle you're after..."
Luke said with emotion, Gibson nodded again and again, he thought it was going to happen.
But Luke's next words knocked his hopes down again.
"However, the Philosopher's Stone has been broken, and I broke it, so I have to go to Mr. Flamel to apologize. This is my principle. I will bear what I should bear for the wrong things I did."
Luke looked into Gibson's eyes, said righteously and firmly.
"If I can get Mr. LeMay's forgiveness, I will definitely ask you for some powder of the Philosopher's Stone so that you can fulfill your wish. But if Mr. LeMay is not willing to forgive me, then I'm sorry, this thing is not mine. Yes, I can't make the decision, not even a tiny bit."
Luke's words were resounding, and his expression was quite firm, as if there was no room for negotiation.
So the smile on Gibson's face gradually became bitter, and his head gradually lowered, looking like an eggplant beaten by frost.
At this time, Luke looked at Dumbledore, who was standing still and watching the play safely, with an unkind expression.
The two exchanged glances.
'It's really shameless. '
' Each other each other. '
Dumbledore will not despise Luke now, and Luke will not despise Dumbledore, because the two of them spared no effort when they fooled Gibson.
Luke sighed softly inwardly.
"Only the world where Gibson was injured, was born..."
However, this kind of thought was only just born, and he saw Gibson, who was listless just now, suddenly raised his head, the smile on his face was no longer as simple and enthusiastic as before, and it was truly vicious.
Then Luke's line of sight was firmly occupied by a touch of iron gray.
"Fuck, I'm going to suffer."
Luke suddenly uttered a curse from the bottom of his heart, and the wand in his hand was squeezed into his hand again, but just as he raised it, Luke's hand stopped.
With a sound of "jump!", Luke's body and wand fell to the ground almost at the same time.
It was dark in front of my eyes, and my head still hurt a little, but these feelings were gradually becoming dull.
But before Luke fell into a deep sleep, he still heard a voice with a hideous smile.
"Tnnd, I am a black wizard! What ideals and pursuits are you talking about. What principles and future are you talking about with me."
"Little ghost, have you never seen a black wizard? Remember! Talk to the black wizard about these things! It's all fake!"
Luke wanted to say that he had seen a dark wizard, and he had seen one of the strongest dark wizards.But the black wizard had already been killed before he could do such a thing.
Luke really wanted to give the old man a middle finger. He was really touched just now.But now it seems that being moved is indeed a superfluous emotion.Next time you have to remember to suppress such emotions when chatting with people.
Ah, one is not enough, I have to erect another one for Dumbledore.Old thing, you make friends carelessly, wait for the gold coins to explode!
It's a pity that Luke didn't have time to say these words.
The mind is at peace, the soul is in silence.
Looking at Gibson, who was rummaging on Luke's body and finally took out the Sorcerer's Stone powder from Luke's belt, and smiled excitedly, Dumbledore felt that his breathing seemed a little difficult .
Damn... Are you going to tell Luke to kill Gibson?
But watch Gibson really only get a tiny bit of powder out of the pouch.Then he stuffed the small bag containing the powder back into Luke's belt, then turned around and ran to the stove not far away, picked up the sledgehammer, and started working immediately. ,
Dumbledore still decided.
"Wait till you get up and decide for yourself. You'll soon find out who you are, Luke Gaunt."
Dumbledore said in a low voice while straightening Luke's head tilted on the chair.
