Hogwarts: Becoming the White Lord from Breathing

Chapter 48 The Magic Stone

On the way to the room in the corridor on the fourth floor, Damon cast spells one after another.

Protego Maxima

Defodio

Odor Abdo

Damon protected his entire body with armor of the highest strength, then used the Deflection Spell to further enhance the invisibility effect, and then used the Odor Elimination Spell to eliminate his own smell and traces. Then he came to the room where the hellhound Lu Wei was.

Alohomora

Damon had no intention of hiding anything. Even if he used silent casting, could the hellhound not hear the sound of unlocking?

And judging from the consumption of magic power, the door lock here has obviously been reinforced with magic power. With his current attainments in magic, he is not able to break through this limitation while casting spells silently.

"Click."

As the door opened, the stone bricks in the corridor suddenly flew up and transformed into a flute, and notes played spontaneously.

Damon opened the door and quickly closed it. Lu Wei, the three-headed dog of hell, was lying in front of him, sleeping quietly with his eyes closed.

The three-headed dog of hell, danger level 5X, is a powerful magical creature. It is extremely resistant to magic spells and is extremely difficult to deal with, but it also has two fatal flaws.

1. Sugar addict - you can use sweets to attract its attention.

2. Fall asleep when hearing music.

As long as you understand the second shortcoming, it will be extremely easy to deal with it; otherwise, it will become very difficult.

Generally speaking, the larger the magical creature, the stronger its resistance. This is probably why Snape fell into its hands.

Legend has it that the hide of a manticore can even deflect all known spells.

Looking at the sleeping mythical animal that was as big as a hill, Damon was also amazed - in fact, he was very curious. If he let go of all his strength now, could he be a match for such a creature?
"laugh!"

At this moment, the sleeping Lu Wei snorted loudly, and the stench was overwhelming.

Damon waved his hand and looked at the trapdoor held down by the dog's paw, a look of curiosity on his face.

There are still three months before the three little ones enter the trapdoor, and the Mirror of Erised, which was originally used to hide the Philosopher's Stone, is also in his hands. How will Dumbledore arrange the storage of the Philosopher's Stone?

He waved his wand, and the floor tiles spontaneously transformed into six stone figures, who "laboriously" lifted up Fluffy's dog paws, revealing the complete trapdoor.

Damon walked into the trapdoor, and the stones underneath changed into stairs with his footsteps, carrying him down step by step.

“So it’s already been set up now?”

Looking at the familiar Devil's Snare, Damon smiled lightly and said calmly:
"Lumos"

Seeing the devil's net retreating under the strong light, Damon quickly passed through and quickly withdrew his magic power - these devil's nets were still needed to test the three little ones, and they must not be hurt.

The view ahead is narrow, with only one stone corridor that can be passed through.

Damon continued to move forward, listening to the sound of water droplets slowly dripping along the wall, a smile spontaneously appeared on his face, until he heard a soft rustling and tinkling sound in front of him.

At the end of the corridor was a brightly lit room with a high vaulted ceiling. Countless little birds, as dazzling as jewels, fluttered their wings and flew around the room. Opposite the room was a heavy wooden door.

This is the second level.

These little birds were actually keys, and only one of them could open the heavy wooden door before him. But Damon had another way. He calmly walked through the flock of keys, without stirring up any disturbance. As he reached the heavy wooden door, it spontaneously began to deform, collapsing and melting like liquid, becoming a hollow, round hole. He stepped through.

When Damon passed through, the wooden door returned to its original position and nothing seemed to have happened.

The third level is a huge chessboard. You must use yourself as a chess piece to simulate wizard chess and defeat the opponent to pass. But on Damon's side...
He simply walked calmly through the chess pieces and to the end of the room without disturbing any of them.

Damon pushed the door open, and the fourth level began, a logical reasoning question - based on the information given on the note on the stone platform, one had to guess the potion that could break through the fire barrier and the potion that could allow one to leave safely.

In order not to alarm the mechanism of the fourth level, he waved his wand and thrust it hard into the ground. A large amount of magic power in his body was mobilized, spreading to the underground, and he began to carefully detect it.

"Finite Incantatem"

Then, as he crossed the threshold, the alarm that should have raised flames to surround him was briefly deactivated.

Damon walked forward, went down the stairs, and entered the last room.

There was only one stone platform in the room. Daemon approached and saw an inscription on it:
[Stone is not stone, gold is not gold, only those who cross the river can see the true form]

And there was no trace of the Philosopher's Stone.

In the entire room, there is only this lonely stone platform, and there is nothing on the platform except this line of text.

"The fourth level was already an intelligence game, and this one's another riddle? Is Harry really going to be able to guess it?"

Damon smiled, sensing something strange in the air, and waved his staff.

"Microscopic spells."

His eyes lit up with a faint fluorescence, and the scene before him quietly changed - countless red particles filled the air, unaffected and unmoved by anyone.

"So it's hidden here?"

Damon looked at the irregular depression in the stone platform and realized that in order to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, he might have to gather all the particles in this place?

Next, he made countless attempts.

Levitation spell, rapid confinement, movement spell, collection spell, spell removal, all restoration.
He cast one simple spell after another, each of incredible power, but to no avail. During this process, he felt as if he was competing with Dumbledore in the air.

After trying for about ten minutes, Damon stopped waving his wand and thought.

Not long after, he smiled freely.

Yes, Professor Quirrell, who was able to break into Gringotts to steal and had the help of a mysterious man, was unable to find the Philosopher's Stone. With his current magical attainments, he might have a chance to win a duel, but in other aspects, he still has some gaps from these T1-level wizards.

That's it.

I had originally wanted to get the Philosopher's Stone in advance to prevent any last chance of an accident, and by the way, I could also study whether the Philosopher's Stone is really as magical as the legend said. Since I can't get it, I'll just wait for Dumbledore to destroy it after the plot ends. It's not a pity.

This is what Damon thought and did. He turned around without any hesitation, walked up the stairs and was about to leave.

But at this moment, the uncontrolled red dust in the sky suddenly shook, gathered in the sky like red quicksand, and finally rushed into the irregular hole in the center of the stone platform, turning into a beautiful red gem.

Sensing the movement, Damon turned his head and looked at the gem emitting a captivating light from the hole, and chuckled - it seemed that Dumbledore was still using the same idea.

Only those who wish to find the Philosopher's Stone—those who find it but do not use it—can obtain it.
