Chapter 29 - Chapter 169 The altar of the god of death, the so-called resurrection stone

In the center of the stone pit, there is no teacher's podium like an amphitheatre, but a raised stone podium instead.

There is an arch on the stone platform, which looks full of quaint atmosphere.

The top corner of the arch has been damaged, and there is not even a support around it, but even so, it still stands there stably.

A translucent gray-black curtain or drapery hangs on the arch, and it is automatic when there is no wind.

"What is this place? It looks weird." Hermione asked, looking at Zicomo.

She knew that if there was something she didn't understand, it would be right to ask her omnipotent cousin.

"The altar of death, behind the veil should be the world leading to death." Zicomo replied.

The reason why he used the word should be because he had no definite evidence that there was a world of death behind it, but speculated based on the information he already knew.

In the original book Harry, Neville and Luna all visited this place.

All three have one thing in common, that is, they have witnessed the death of their relatives with their own eyes.

When they came to this room, they all heard the voice of their deceased relatives behind the veil, which was enticing them to take them to the unknown space behind the veil of "Zero Twenty".

And with a similar effect is the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows that the three brothers in the legend got from the god of death.

The resurrection stone can't really resurrect people, it can only bring the souls of dead people back to the world. But that soul does not belong to the world, so that soul becomes sad, cold and painful.

Those who use the resurrection stone will fall into madness in this hopeless desire, and finally choose to commit suicide.

So in a sense, the real function of the resurrection stone is not to bring the dead back to the world, but to bring the living into death.

This is similar to the arched curtain in front of him. Zicomo did feel the force of death on that veil, too.

And Zicomo knew from the memory of Lukewood, the second and fifth boy, that the arch was there long before the building of the Ministry of Magic was built.

In other words, the location of the Ministry of Magic building was built here because of the arches.

In the cognition of the silent people, this arch symbolizes death and the unknown world, and it is an ancient topic that the Department of Mysteries has been working on since its establishment.

So Zicomo boldly speculates that even if the world behind the veil is not death, it has an inseparable relationship with death.

When Hermione heard that there was a world of death behind, she dragged Zicomo away from the arch.

If the two forces of time and fate are special in people's cognition, then death is taboo. No normal person would take the initiative to touch death.

Of course, except for Zicomo, who has the ability to master death.

Hermione shrank in Zicomo's arms and said, "Cousin, let's get out of here quickly.

This place is gloomy, and the curtain is still moving, who knows if something will suddenly come out from behind?

The little witch didn't want to stay in this room at all.

Zicomo nodded and said, "Okay, let's go right away. But I have one more thing to do before I go.

"What's the matter?" Hermione asked.

"That's taking it away.

After all, Zicomo activated the power of death in his body, and the power of gold and black spewed out from his body, covering the entire stone pit.

Then the entire pit rose to the ground under Hermione's surprised eyes.

Zicomo waved the entire altar into the system space and planned to study it in the future.

As for why not put the altar in the "Zen Garden"?

He and Hermione had an idea, did the hell know if something could come out from behind the veil?

After doing all this, Zicomo removed all traces left by himself and Hermione at the Ministry of Magic, and then left here with Hermione.

When Zicomo left, the sky was already gray. It didn't take long for it to arrive at the Ministry of Magic's office hours.

Then the staff of the Ministry of Magic discovered that the place where they work, the authoritative place of the British wizarding world, has been invaded!

Especially those silent people, they are going crazy.

Most of this group of people are scholars who stay out of the way and focus on magic.

In their view, the Department of Mysteries is the place where they study ancient, advanced and even those that have been lost, and it is the holy temple where they pursue advanced knowledge of magic.

Yet just today, their palace was stolen.

The room that blocked the power of love was opened, the time hall was looted, and the death hall was dug up entirely.

This is equivalent to digging out half of their heritage, which is even more ruthless than digging out their lifeblood!

The Silence people were so excited that they stormed into Fudge's office and demanded that he must catch the murderer.

What's more, the dereliction of duty directly responsible for Fudge was able to allow thieves to invade the Ministry of Magic.

The silent people in this group are all scholars who focus on knowledge, and they belong to the kind with high IQ and low EQ.

So they didn't know what politeness was, and when they caught Fudge, they scolded him wildly, making Fudge flush with anger.

Fudge dealt with them hastily, and then immediately summoned people to deal with the matter.

The Division of Magical Accidents and Disasters, in conjunction with the Division of Magical Law Enforcement, launched a major sweep of the Ministry of Magic. While counting the losses of the Ministry of Magic, try to find out if the invaders have left any clues.

But how could Zicomo leave evidence for them?

The traces erased by Kamito's mighty power, even if Dumbledore came, could not restore it. Zicomo didn't even have one of Hermione's cat hairs.

So the Ministry of Magic's attempts to trace Zicomo's mind by searching for traces left by him are doomed to fail.

However, Fudge's face improved a lot after learning that only the mysterious thing was stolen. In his opinion, the group of people in the Department of Mysteries are a group of money losers, and every year they consume a lot of gold Galleons.

Now that they know that their research topics have been reduced by half, it is just a matter of saving money for them.

Of course, this theft is a derogatory event for the Ministry of Magic anyway, so someone must be held accountable for it.

And it was Luke Wood, who was on the night shift last night, and another unlucky guy who didn't even deserve a name.

It's not that the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic haven't tried Dementoration on the two of them, but both of them have lost their memories of last night, and they don't have the slightest impression of what happened last night..

In the end, the Ministry of Magic dismissed the two on the grounds of negligence, and issued a reward to the thieves who invaded the Ministry of Magic through the Daily Prophet, with a reward of up to 100,000 gold Galleons.

And as long as someone can provide accurate information, they can receive a bounty of a thousand gold Galleons.

You know, even if Sirius was mistaken for killing more than a dozen Muggles, the reward for his escape was only 10,000 Galleons.

The Ministry of Magic was nothing but theft, and no one was injured or killed. In this way, the bounty was given a full 100,000 yuan, which shows that the Ministry of Magic attaches great importance to this theft incident.

The Daily Prophet printed an expedited edition of the report on the theft of the Ministry of Magic at noon that day, and Zicomo also subscribed to the Daily Prophet newspaper.

Seeing the news in the newspaper, Zicomo and Hermione smiled at each other and ignored the matter.

After lunch, Hermione went back to her room to catch up on sleep, while Zicomo, energetic and not needing much sleep, decided to go out again.

Zicomo's purpose this time is a dilapidated old house in Hangleton, which was once the home of the Gunter family.

That's right, this is Voldemort's father's house.

The walls of the old house are covered with moss, and even the tiles on the roof have fallen off a lot, exposing the rafters inside.

There were dense nettles growing around the house, and the nettles were so lush that they even covered the windows of the old house. Of course it also has something to do with those windows being very small.

Through the crevices of the nettles, the outline of the window could be seen, covered with a thick layer of old grime.

The most recognizable is the door of the house, where a dead snake is nailed.

Zicomo came here mainly to take the resurrection stone.

He doesn't have anyone who particularly wants to revive, even if there are, he can do it with his own human body refining technology, and there is no need for the ethereal resurrection method like the resurrection stone.

Zicomo just thought of the Deathly Hallows, the Resurrection Stone, from the Altar of Death 1.0 last night, and the thought of collecting it arose in his heart.

However, in Zicomo's view, the Resurrection Stone really does not deserve the title of Deathly Hallows.

According to the legend of the three brothers, the elder wand obtained by the eldest was made of elderberries by the river, and the resurrection stone obtained by the second was a stone that the god of death picked up by the river.

Only the third child gets Death's own invisibility cloak.

Therefore, among the three holy artifacts of death, the first two are full of moisture, and they are all gadgets made by the god of death.

Only the Invisibility Cloak can be called the Deathly Hallows, and the other two are not mentioned.

Zicomo came to fetch the resurrection stone just to collect it, and didn't expect it to do anything.

Voldemort came to the old Gaunt house at the age of 16 and knocked out his uncle Morfin Gaunt. Killed his father and his grandparents with Morfin's wand and put the blame on Morfin.

It can be said that Voldemort has a set in this regard.

Most importantly, after doing all this, he stole the Resurrection Stone Ring, an heirloom that Marvolo Gaunt (Voldemort's maternal grandfather) had passed on to Morfin.

Of course, Voldemort didn't know it was the Resurrection Stone.
