Chapter 92: The whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone

"What!" Morgana asked loudly, "Do you know where the Philosopher's Stone is?"
Matthew did not nod, but he did not deny either.
On the contrary, he took out a greased paper bag from his pocket without rush.
Slowly opened the greased paper on the outside, and then he passed the contents, together with the greased paper, to the "little boy" in front of him who was half a head shorter than him.
"What's this?" Morgana couldn't help frowning when she saw what was wrapped in the oil paper, while pinching her nose with her other hand.
What appeared in front of her was a dirty cloth strip, and I don't know how long it had been in it; when it came in contact with the fresh air, it quickly exuded a disgusting stench.
"Ms. Morgana, I suggest you take a closer look." Matthew said calmly, "better to smell it again."
Morgana gave Matthew a dubious look, looked at the boy in front of him, with an extremely sincere expression on his face... She resisted the stench, and moved her nose close to the dirty cloth strip
For almost an instant, she was shocked.
At a speed that Matthew could barely see with the naked eye, she appeared in front of Matthew and shouted hysterically:
"Where did it... this thing... where did you come from!"
Because on this dirty cloth strip, apart from the disgusting stench, she also smelled a familiar smell...
The taste that has been with her for hundreds of years...
The smell of Philosopher's Stone!
...
"Calm down, Ms. Morgana!" Matthew suddenly felt an extremely powerful pressure, which made his legs feel a little soft. He quickly said, "Calm down... Calm down..."
In fact, the cloth strip wrapped in oil paper is actually a mop strip!
Almost half a year ago, when he participated in the "after-school practice" for the second time, he was ordered by the castle administrator Pringle to clean up in the office of the vice-principal Professor Rozier...
At that time, under Professor Rozier's seat, by chance, he saw a drop of bright red, blood-like liquid.
At that time, Matthew didn't hesitate to drag it completely with a mop.
But after a series of incidents, when he left the vice-principal's office and returned the sanitary utensils to Mr. Pringle's office, Matthew kept a little eye on him and tore off a piece of cloth with a little bit of bright red from the mop. Article.
After returning to the Slytherin common room, he wrapped the cloth strip with oil paper, carefully stored it, and sealed it.
At first, Matthew just kept an eye on it. He actually didn't know what the drop was.
But as time went by, more and more evidence appeared, and he could basically guess that he was 80 to 90 percent.
Just as Professor Bathilda Bagshot, the aunt of Grindelwald and the teacher of the history of magic, said: Wizards like Gellert Grindelwald disdain to use the Philosopher’s Stone to make elixir for themselves Life-sustaining...
As for obtaining large sums of gold through the Philosopher’s Stone, Matthew did not agree that this would be what Grindelwald did...
As for hiding precious treasures like a dragon in a fairy tale, instead of using them, but guarding them like a miser...This behavior is even more incredible for Grindelwald!
So where exactly was the Philosopher’s Stone used, Matthew quickly found the answer
"Youth stay forever" is not a powerful magic; in the wizarding world, there are many ways to do it...make an old wizard look like he was young.
But that kind of magic, like the make-up in the Muggle world, brings only illusory appearances.
No matter how glamorous the appearance is, when the magic is removed in the middle of the night, when looking in the mirror, the appearance of "forever youth" will still look old.
But Professor Vita Rozier's "Forever Youth" is different.
Her extremely young face and skin were extremely natural, without a trace of magic in disguise. As if the years passed by, there was no trace left on her!
Especially when Matthew left Slughorn's office and returned to the Slytherin lounge, he once "contacted" the vice principal at close range; his feeling at that time was extremely obvious!
At that time, Matthew was almost certain, the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone!
You know, the Philosopher’s Stone, as the most precious, pure, and magical substance, as the highest masterpiece of alchemy, it has one last use—
That is "Forever Youth".
Moreover, what the Philosopher’s Stone brings is the true sense of youth staying forever, allowing the passage of years to stop in your body completely, until you leave the world naked...
Although, this is also the most inconspicuous one of the three uses of the Philosopher's Stone.
Throwing a unique and extremely precious magic item like the "Sorcerer's Stone" to one of my most loyal subordinates and let her use it as a "cosmetic"... This behavior may sound a little weird.
However, if the person doing this kind of thing is Gellert Grindelwald, it seems somewhat reasonable.
...
Of course Matthew would not directly tell the origin of this cloth strip.
But Morgana was obviously a little anxious, she roared, pulling Matthew's collar, without any etiquette at all: "Where did it come from... this thing... where did you get it..."
"Calm down, Ms. Morgana." Matthew said with a smile: "Now, can you believe what I said earlier?"
"Very good!" Morgana looked a little calmer, and she took a deep breath: "Now I believe ~EbookFREE.me~You can take me to find the magic stone..."
"What about the conditions I made earlier?" Matthew asked with a grin.
"Yes, I promise you all." Morgana lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I will not kill Neville Longbottom and Hermione Granger, nor will I take Harry Evans. s life……"
She paused and slowly said: "Of course, I won't kill you... if you can help find the Philosopher's Stone."
"Okay, let's pull the hook!" Matthew suddenly felt a little childish, and then extended the little thumb of his left hand with interest.
"What do you mean?" Morgana asked in a puzzled way.
"This is a way of Muggle's promise." Matthew explained: "If two people's little fingers are entangled with a hook, they can't violate what they said before, and they can't deceive each other..."
"Muggles' contract method?" Morgana seemed to sneer.
But she still extended Harry Evans's pinky right hand...
