"Unfortunately, as far as I know, it is not possible. What the resurrection stone reveals is just a false magical illusion..." Ivan shook his head, looked at the father and daughter, and said with a deep voice.

"Do you remember that legend? The fate of the second of the three brothers... He asked the **** of death for the ability to resurrect the dead, and wanted to bring back alive the girl who had wanted to marry but died young, but in the end he I was tortured crazy, even desperate to suicide..."

"But that doesn't mean anything. Maybe the method he used was wrong, or the girl didn't love him at all, so she didn't want to return to the world." Xenofilius said stubbornly, and then looked eagerly. Looking at Ivan. "You have a resurrection stone, don't you? Hals?"

Ivan hesitated for a moment, and then nodded. He understood that if Xenofilius was not allowed to personally verify the function of the resurrection stone, then there would be no way to talk about the following matters.

Thinking of this, Ivan took off the resurrection stone hanging on his neck and displayed it in front of the two of them.

The diamond-shaped spar slowly floated in the air, and the shining magical light made Xenofilius obsessed. After obtaining Ivan’s consent, he held the resurrection stone in his hand with a trembling wrist and slowly turned it. Three laps.

The next moment, the figure of a witch appeared in front of a few people. She looked like she was in her early thirties. She looked a bit similar to Luna, with a slight smile on her face, and she had been with Ivan. The little witch saw exactly the same in her memory.

Xenofilius was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself. He stood up and called his wife's name over and over again, as if he was going to step forward to touch the witch's cheek, but his palm passed directly through.

Seeing Xenofilius's gloomy appearance, Ivan frowned involuntarily, vaguely regretting his act of taking out the resurrection stone.

Although he had warned the opponent of the defect of the resurrection stone in advance, it seemed that Xenofilius hadn't even listened to it.

Sure enough, what Ivan worries most quickly happened.

After a long conversation about reunion, Xenofilius firmly believed that the Resurrection Stone had recalled his wife's soul, even ignoring the flaws pointed out by Ivan.

"This is my wife, it can't be wrong... it can't be wrong!" Xenophylius shouted stubbornly, and at the same time held the resurrection stone in his hand tightly, for fear of being taken back by Ivan .

Xenophylius’ stubbornness made Ivan very helpless. If he changed someone, he would have started to let the other party see the reality clearly, but this person is Luna’s father. kind……

Just as Ivan felt a headache for this, a soft voice rang in his ears.

"He just needs some time... Dad will figure it out."

Ivan turned his head and looked over, only to notice that Luna was still standing there, not obsessed with false magical illusions like her father Xenofilius.

Even though the witch gently waved to her, Luna stood still, but there was a sad expression in her eyes.

"I can feel it, that's not the real her..." Luna's ethereal voice sounded again.

Ivan fell silent on the side. He should have thought that the resurrection stone was Xenophylius' heart knot. Perhaps he had come to ask the other party about the Deathly Hallows this time and it was a complete mistake.

The best way to destroy a person is to give them the last hope and smash it face to face...

Ivan sighed, and could only hope to wait for Xenofilius to calm down before persuading him. No matter what he said, the other party would definitely not listen.

Thinking this way, Ivan and Luna left the living room for a while, leaving Xenofilius alone for a while.

The entire Novgood House is not big, although it has three floors, but if you remove the working room, there is not much space left.

Luna took Ivan all the way to the third floor, which was almost decorated as an exhibition hall of magical creatures, with all kinds of specimens hanging on the walls.

It is worth mentioning that Luna's room also happens to be here.

If you don't count the sneaking into the girls' dormitory in the second grade, this is the first time Ivan has stepped into a girl's room.

However, Luna's taste is obviously different from that of ordinary girls, and the decoration in the bedroom is very simple.

The ground was covered with a light blue blanket, and beside the table were Luna's fantasy hand-made models of the horned snoring beast, the harassing horsefly, and the fly hook. On the side windowsill, there were also clusters of bright red airship plums.

What shocked Ivan the most was that there were two beautiful portraits painted on the ceiling of the bedroom, exactly what he and Luna looked like.

Probably after special magical treatment, these portraits can't move and talk like the portraits in Hogwarts, but they look lifelike, as if they might come alive at any time.

The two portraits are linked by a long slender gold chain...

After Ivan got closer, I realized that it was not a golden chain, but thousands of identical words written in beautiful golden ink—friends!

"Do you still like it? I drew it myself..." Luna asked softly, and looked up.

"The painting is great!" Ivan said with a smile, but his mood was a bit complicated.

Luna knows herself, but there are fewer real friends...

In the original time and space, the ceiling of this bedroom was still painted with portraits of Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione, and Neville, but now only him and Luna.

It’s hard to say whether my intervention is good or bad...

But now that things have happened, Ivan quickly cleared up his emotions and chatted with the little witch about some daily interesting things.

Luna also took out the glass bottle containing the horned snoring beast. After more than a year of training, this little guy's head and feet had doubled, if it hadn't been for a powerful extension curse in the glass bottle. I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore.

The two chatted happily all morning, but it was a pity that during this period of time Xenofilius not only showed no signs of breaking free from the illusion, but it seemed that he was sinking deeper and deeper.

Fortunately, Xenofilius still retained some sense, and under Luna's persuasion, he handed over to Ivan his notes on studying the Deathly Hallows.

...

In the evening, outside the Novgood House, Ivan turned the thick notebook in his hand, frowning and slowly loosening it.

Xenofilius's research on the Deathly Hallows lasted for several years, searching through almost all the information that could be found, and doing a lot of analysis on all related history and legends.

Probably I haven't been able to get any Deathly Hallows, and because of some mental disorders after his wife's death, the entire notebook is full of absurd conjectures.

Based on the speculation of the creator of the Deathly Hallows, Xenofilius gave more than a dozen different possibilities, even contradicting each other.

However, one of the bold conjectures still gave Ivan a lot of inspiration...

Xenofilius believes that the Deathly Hallows may originate from the hands of one person, and this powerful wizard has an unattainable talent in alchemy, in an attempt to conquer death and gain the authority of the **** of death.

The evidence is the respective functions and meanings of the three Deathly Hallows.

The first is the old magic wand... it gives the user the ability to win all battles in battle and kill others.

The second is the invisible cloak, which can provide comprehensive protection for the wearer and protect people from bad luck.

As for the last resurrection stone, it can reverse life and death and pull the soul of the dead back from the bottomless abyss.

Among all the black magic rituals that Ivan knows about resurrection, the most difficult step is how to recall the soul of the dead, and the resurrection stone can do this easily. Mastering it is like possessing a world that can travel freely between life and death. Door.

It is conceivable that any wizard possessing these three holy artifacts at the same time can be almost equivalent to the living **** of death, possessing powerful protection, unmatched power, and the ability to reverse life and death.

This may be the reason why it is said that the collection of the three holy artifacts can become the master of the **** of death...

Xenofilius even thinks that the original form of death in that story is the powerful wizard. He called his three sons to his side before his life was close, and asked them to each choose to inherit a Deathly Hallows, but history has gone through thousands of times. The spread of the year was seriously distorted, and finally it became the legend of the three brothers they were familiar with.

Xenofilius’s speculation is undoubtedly very reasonable, but there are also many contradictions. If it is really like his guess, the creator of the three sacred artifacts can be said to have conquered death, and can pass the resurrection even if the life is near. Stone returned from the dead world by the hands of others.

Of course, it is also possible that he was betrayed during this period, or he suddenly realized that he accepted death calmly...

In addition, according to the intelligence obtained from Grindelwald, the three sacred artifacts seem to have some mysteries, or that it needs some method to truly stimulate their power.

The old wand needs to defeat the previous master, the invisibility cloak also showed other abilities in Grindelwald's hands, and the only thing left was the resurrection stone.

Ivan touched his chin and fell into contemplation. At the Magic Congress of North America, Grindelwald personally said that it was a barrier that Dumbledore could not break.

"Maybe these Deathly Hallows, like the legend, were made by the **** of death..." Luna's melodious voice suddenly sounded in the silent night.

Ivan turned his head and looked at the little witch sitting beside him and looking out into the dense forest in the distance, and asked curiously. "Why do you think so?"

"Because it's funny, isn't it?" Luna blinked and said softly.

Ivan laughed blankly, which was really funny.

Ivan raised his head and stared at the bright night sky, and asked quietly. "Then what do you think Grindelwald is talking about?"

"Reaper can't lie, so the stone he gave Cadmus can definitely resurrect his beloved girl..." Luna shook her head gently and said in a erratic tone.

"But the **** of death is also very cunning. He wants to torture Cadmus. If I were the **** of death, I would set a magic on the resurrection stone-when Cadmus no longer thought about resurrecting the beloved girl You can really see her soul."

Listening to Luna's words, Ivan couldn't help but froze in place.

"Did I say something wrong?" Luna looked at Ivan and asked in confusion.

"No, maybe you are right... it is possible, very possible!" Ivan muttered to himself, which corresponds exactly to what Grindelwald said of the obsession.

With Dumbledore's magic knowledge, there are not many things in this world that can hold him up, or there is only one, and that is the feelings and guilt for his family.

In the original time and space, Dumbledore once said that one of the most important reasons for his eager pursuit of the Deathly Hallows was that he wanted to resurrect his dead sister and obtain the forgiveness of his family.

If Luna's guess is correct, then Dumbledore really can't break through this barrier.

Of course, it is not necessarily the Reaper who casts the spell. It may be that the producer does not want the power of the resurrection stone to be abused, so this restriction is set.

"Let's try now..." With the goal, Ivan cheered up and couldn't wait to take Luna back to Novgood House.

When they rushed to the living room, Xenofilius had just prepared supper. After seeing Ivan and Luna entering the door, he was very happy to greet them to eat together, and Luna’s "mother" was relying on Xenophie. Even if they couldn't touch Liusi's side, they looked like a couple in love.

Ivan sighed in his heart. In the past, he didn't think the resurrection stone's fascination ability was so powerful, but now he has seen it.

He has no doubt that if such a life lasts for ten and a half days, Xenofilius will commit suicide just like the legendary second of the three brothers, Cadmus, in order to be truly with his wife.

"What's the matter with you?" Xenofilius pulled away the chair in the living room, but it was strange to see the two standing still on the spot.

Seeing Xenofilius's intoxicated appearance, Ivan really didn't know how to persuade him. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and Xenofilius' body shook suddenly. He fell to the back of the chair and fell asleep groggy.

"Sorry, Luna..." Ivan looked at the little witch, with a somewhat apologetic expression on her face.

The little witch shook her head and didn't care ~com~ It might be the best choice to let Xenofilius sleep for a while without knowing it.

Ivan stepped forward and opened Xenofilius's tightly clenched right hand and took out the resurrection stone. After hesitating for a while, instead of experimenting directly here, Luna was left to take care of Xenofilius. Alone, cast Apparition to go to a nearby uninhabited cliff.

The cold wind blew slowly by, and Ivan took a deep breath, and then slowly turned the diamond spar in his hand three times.

He doesn't know how to crack the magic blessed on the resurrection stone, but most of it needs to be faced first.

Just thinking about it, five figures appeared in front of Ivan in a row. In addition to Dumbledore, Nicol LeMay and Orlando Hals who appeared last time, there were also two black-haired and dark-eyed people. Couple.

Ivan's figure couldn't help trembling, staring at the two familiar faces fiercely-that was exactly what his parents looked like in his previous life!
