Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 107, page 105: Hogwarts is not safe at all now.

The Philosopher's Stone is also known as the Red Elixir, the Philosopher's Stone, or the Stone from Heaven.

Most of the time, it exists in the form of red gemstone crystals.

He is a very unique character among Fullmetal Alchemists.

Alchemy in Fullmetal Alchemist must adhere to the principle of equivalent exchange, but there is one thing that can break this rule: the Philosopher's Stone. It is an amplifier of magic that is granted the ability to disregard the principle of "equivalent exchange" and to create any substance.

In a sense, an alchemist who possesses the Philosopher's Stone is practically a god.

In fact, the Philosopher's Stone in the Harry Potter world is also called the Philosopher's Stone, but the two have different functions. The Philosopher's Stone is the main ingredient for making gold and longevity potions, while the Philosopher's Stone is the best auxiliary treasure for alchemy.

If they were all the same thing, and we got our hands on such a large piece of Neville's possession, even if the Dark Lord were reborn, we could easily crush him.

The method for creating the Philosopher's Stone is also very simple.

Sacrificing large numbers of people.

Although the proper process of crafting the Philosopher's Stone requires sacrificing the recipient's body, the real key lies in the soul. The components of the human body are utterly worthless to an alchemist.

However, in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, the soul cannot exist alone, so it is sacrificed along with the human body.

This world is different; the Voldemort in front of us is a pure soul.

As for the half-pig taken out by the body, the composition of the human body is not much different from that of the pig.

"Wait, I think we can talk. If you let me go, I'll give you whatever you want. I know the locations of many treasures and possess a great deal of magical knowledge."

Despite Voldemort's constant enticements, Dudley remained deaf to them, his hands gradually coming together in prayer.

The alchemy array emitted a bewitching crimson color.

"I hate it so much!"

Feeling his soul slowly disappearing, Voldemort let out a furious roar of resentment.

In fact, the Philosopher's Stone requires not only the soul as the main ingredient, but also resentment, hatred, and anger as auxiliary ingredients.

However, these things perfectly matched the state of mind of Voldemort's remnant soul at this moment.

It is simply the perfect offering for the Philosopher's Stone.

The crimson light gradually faded, leaving behind the legendary Philosopher's Stone within the alchemy array.

Philosopher's Stone (Perfect)

"Defeat Voldemort's remnant soul once, and obtain..."

Dudley didn't read the system's prompts carefully. Instead, he walked into the transmutation array and picked up the glittering red gem.

It feels cool to the touch, and at first glance, it doesn't look much different from a regular ruby.

However, in the eyes of an alchemist, the crimson Philosopher's Stone radiated a mesmerizing glow.

Voldemort truly deserves to be called the ultimate villain in the seven-part Harry Potter series; he was able to extract such a high-quality Philosopher's Stone from just a wisp of his soul.

Don't underestimate this little bit.

In other worlds, sacrificing an entire city or country might not be enough to obtain even one such piece.

To be honest, if you asked Dudley to actually sacrifice the lives of people from an entire city or country in exchange for the Philosopher's Stone, he would definitely be against it.

He's not a saint; this is his bottom line as a human being.

But if you were to exchange Voldemort's remnant soul for the Philosopher's Stone, he would absolutely agree. From the moment he was struck dead by the Guardian Charm of Love, Voldemort was no longer human, but a soul that refused to face death and clung to life. Moreover, Voldemort's soul would be destroyed sooner or later anyway, so it was better to make use of it.

"Um?"

Just as Dudley was about to leave, he suddenly noticed something else in the center of the transmutation array. This thing was covered in dust, and he would have missed it if it weren't for the prompt from the Eye of Data.

Sweep away the dust to reveal what's underneath.

It was a deep blue gem the size of a fingernail.

"What is this?"

Dudley carefully picked it up.

Magic Crystal

The system displays the name of this thing.

magic.?

Dali suddenly realized.

Yes, magic doesn't exist in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist.

The energy of alchemy does not come from the magic within the alchemist's body, but from the pulse of the earth or something else.

The transmutation circle not only transformed Voldemort's remnant soul into the Philosopher's Stone, but also crystallized the magical power contained within his remnant soul.

However, now was not the time to study these things, so Dali quietly put away the magic crystal.

"Professor Dumbledore, how much longer are you going to stay there?"

Dali suddenly turned to a corner of the room and said.

"Dali, your senses are very sharp."

The Disillusionment Curse was lifted, and Dumbledore revealed his body.

"Then eat less sweets. I can smell your cloying honey scent even from a hundred meters away."

"That's all I have as a hobby."

Should Dumbledore be made to give up sugar?

You might as well hope that the sow can fly in the sky. Oh, there's magic, it's obviously much easier for the sow to fly in the sky.

"Professor, Professor Dumbledore!"

Neville exclaimed joyfully, the reputation of this greatest white wizard of the century being directly proportional to Voldemort's intimidation. Then, pointing excitedly at Quirrell, who had turned into a puddle of pus, Neville said, "Voldemort!"

"I know, Longbottom, I know."

Dumbledore's voice had a certain magic that soothed Neville's emotions.

"I imagine your friends, Miss Granger and the others, are getting quite impatient outside the room, and Harry would be better off going to see Madam Pomfrey to check on things."

"Can you do me this favor?"

"I have something to discuss with Mr. Dursley."

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Neville hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Dudley. Seeing that Dudley nodded at him, Neville picked up Harry and walked towards the door.

Before leaving, he handed the magic stone to Dudley.

"This is the Philosopher's Stone? The legendary treasure that can be used to concoct elixirs of immortality?"

Dudley looked at the red gem in his hand, which was different from the Philosopher's Stone.

If the Philosopher's Stone is like a dazzling ruby ​​that accelerates special effects, then the Philosopher's Stone is like an unpolished ruby ​​rough.

"Professor, I remember this gem belonged to Master Nicolas Flamel. I never imagined it would be kept at Hogwarts, and it was almost stolen."

"You should store it carefully."

With that, Dudley returned the Philosopher's Stone, which he hadn't even warmed in his hands, to Dumbledore.

Throughout the entire process, Dumbledore kept a close eye on Dudley, and when he saw that Dudley showed no reluctance or hesitation, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes.

Dudley didn't actually think much of the Philosopher's Stone.

Is it really that amazing that the Philosopher's Stone can turn lead into gold?

The Philosopher's Stone can do that too.

Is it really that amazing that the Philosopher's Stone can grant immortality?

The Philosopher's Stone can do that too.

Furthermore, the Philosopher's Stone can be used to amplify alchemy and ignore equivalent exchange.

For Dudley, the Philosopher's Stone was something he could have, but not something he absolutely needed.

"professor."

Dudley's expression turned serious as he looked directly at Dumbledore: "I think we should discuss a very serious issue."

"Hogwarts is not safe at all right now."

This is the second time Dali has raised this issue.
