Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 429, Section 423: Nerida Vokanova's Letters

Dudley was quite surprised to hear Hermione say that out of the blue.

He certainly knew about the Three Deathly Hallows; not only did he know them, he also knew where they were located.

But weren't we just discussing the mysterious death of the first Durmstrang?

How did we jump to the Deathly Hallows?

Dudley noticed out of the corner of his eye that the book Hermione was holding had the symbol of the Three Holy Relics of the Dead printed on it—a triangle circle with a vertical line in the middle, and there were several similar books next to her.

Well, books that other schools don't have are everywhere here.

"I know, Harry has one."

Dali speaks the truth.

"Harry?"

Hearing Dudley's answer, Hermione was somewhat stunned, but with her sharp mind, she quickly analyzed: "Could it be something his father left him?"

"That's right, it's that invisibility cloak."

Dali had no intention of hiding anything and decisively revealed the answer directly.

"?!?!"

Hermione looked surprised after confirming the answer: "While the Invisibility Cloak is indeed rare, it doesn't seem as magical as the legends say."

"The book describes it as being able to evade death."

If it could truly evade the pursuit of a god, then it could truly be called a divine artifact, but...

"Perhaps it was the first invisibility cloak, so the effect was described in an exaggerated way."

As he spoke, Dali casually picked up a book and flipped through it a few times.

He had studied Harry's invisibility cloak. Apart from being a bit thicker, having a better invisibility effect, and being almost permanent than a regular invisibility cloak, it wasn't much different.

One can only conceal one's body and, to some extent, reduce one's footsteps, heartbeat, and scent.

But it still exists.

Invisibility cloaks on the market are usually made of the fur of invisible beasts or are ordinary cloaks that have been enchanted with a disillusionment spell.

Harry's item was different. Dudley couldn't identify the specific materials, mainly because he couldn't directly use alchemy to disassemble it; it would be a shame if he couldn't put it back together after disassembling it.

No, I don't think so.

Hermione was as excited as if she had discovered a new continent, pointing to the contents of the book in her hand and saying, "Look at this. As long as you can collect these three items, you can gain unimaginable power."

"I think I've found a way to deal with Senior Tom."

Dudley: "."

He really wanted to tell Hermione that dealing with Tom didn't have to be so complicated; he, Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and the others had already made arrangements.

Hermione.

Seeing Hermione's excited expression, Dudley was reluctant to tell her the truth, but he still spoke up.

"The Invisibility Cloak, one of the three Holy Relics, is with Harry. The other one, the Elder Wand, is with Professor Dumbledore—yes, it's his current wand."

"The Elder Wand that is 'invincible and unconquerable'? No wonder Professor Dumbledore is so powerful."

Hermione exclaimed in admiration.

Hearing Hermione's words, Dudley's tone became serious: "Hermione, Professor Dumbledore is so powerful not because he possesses the Elder Wand, but because he is inherently powerful."

"While the Elder Wand can grant immense power, it is not truly invincible and is far from the legendary 'invincible and unconquerable'."

"By the way, let me tell you a secret. Professor Grindelwald has been searching for them for most of his life. Professor Dumbledore's Elder Wand was actually found by Professor Grindelwald."

"These legendary magical items don't actually have the miraculous effects described."

Hermione was stunned upon hearing this, and quickly said, "There's also the Resurrection Stone, it must be because they're lacking the Resurrection Stone that they don't have it."

Hermione suddenly stopped mid-sentence, and to her surprise, Dudley pulled a ring out of his pocket.

The clever Hermione immediately realized what was going on and asked with a slight hesitation.

"Could this be..."

"Yes, this is the last of the three deadly relics—the Resurrection Stone." Dudley gave her an affirmative answer: "Although it is afflicted with a deadly curse, that does not change the fact that it is the Resurrection Stone."

"We gathered the three sacred artifacts last year, but nothing happened, so we still have to rely on ourselves to deal with Senior Tom."

"Even if Professor Grindelwald had acquired these three treasures decades ago, he would not have been able to realize his desired ideals."

"How could this happen? I just thought I had found a way to deal with Senior Tom."

Hermione was a little dejected. She waved the book in front of Dudley: "This book is the letter from Nerida Vocanova, the first headmistress of Durmstrang. It describes the power of the Deathly Hallows. I never thought the truth would be like this."

"Indeed, you can't believe everything you read in books."

She murmured a sigh.

The book in Hermione's hand was somewhat old, and the pages seemed to be made of some kind of special leather (definitely not human skin), and had turned slightly yellow.

"Letters? Where did you get them?"

Dudley glanced at the letter and asked curiously.

Hermione pointed to the bookshelf next to her and said matter-of-factly, "There's a hidden compartment in the middle of the bookshelf, and that's where this book is. You can just pull it out and find it."

"."

Looking at the shelves piled high with books, Dali fell into deep thought.

Even if you let him search all day, he might not be able to find it.

As expected of Hermione, with her innate intuition for books, she can find any hidden book anywhere.

If she were to go to the Shaolin Temple's Sutra Pavilion, she could find the Nine Yang Divine Skill in an instant with just a flick of her little hand.

"Besides the contents of the Deathly Trinity, what else is in the letter?"

"Take a look for yourself." Hermione was a little downcast as she handed the letter to Dudley.

Dali took it and quickly flipped through it.

The above content records the origin of the Three Holy Relics, which is the story of the three brothers well-known in the wizarding world. Then it describes how powerful the three holy relics are: the Elder Wand can bring eternal victory, the Resurrection Stone can bring the dead back to life and make them immortal, and the Cloak of Invisibility can block all magical detection.

Anyone who can gather all three sacred artifacts and combine them will become the most powerful wizard in the world.

"This content doesn't seem worth hiding, does it?"

Dali was speechless.

The timeline of the school's founding by the first Principal Durmstrang was only a few decades before the creation of the Deathly Hallows, so it's not surprising that Nerida Vocanova would know about the Deathly Hallows.

However, she seems overly obsessed with the three sacred artifacts, just like Professor Grindelwald, firmly believing that collecting all three artifacts will bring unparalleled power.

"It's not very useful, just listen to it as a story."

Dudley flipped to the last page, and after confirming that there was no useful information at all, he returned the letter to Hermione. Then he picked up the unfinished book again, and just as he opened the first page, he heard Hermione exclaim in surprise once more.
