Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 470 Searching for the Philosopher's Stone! Extending Life and Rejuvenating! Grindelwald

"Sir, have you altered their memories?" Voldemort asked.

She knew she had asked a pointless question, but seeing that Grindelwald didn't seem inclined to leave immediately, she knew he had more to say.

So she diligently played the straight man in the comedy routine.

This is a reciprocal gesture.

Grindelwald did not forcibly control her with magic, but chose to cooperate with her, which was incredibly merciful compared to what Voldemort had done to her.

Moreover, she will have to rely on Grindelwald in the future.

Therefore, her current attitude towards Grindelwald can be considered respectful and friendly.

But how long this attitude can be maintained is uncertain.

"Over the next year, they will be my help in concealing my whereabouts."

Grindelwald gave a brief explanation.

He then began to explain the plans he would be carrying out next:

"After we get out, I will contact the existing cult forces. Then, as you planned, I will send the saints and death eaters to travel to various countries, recruit dark wizards, and strengthen our power."

Remember, this operation must be carried out as covertly as possible, and conflicts with the white wizard factions of various countries should be avoided as much as possible before the force is fully formed.

"You can execute the fake death plan I told you about before as soon as possible."

"I understand, sir. Everything is as you wish."

Voldemort agreed with these suggestions and immediately responded, but at the same time, she had a concern: "Sir, should the Death Eaters who have already been exposed to the White Wizard's pursuers also fake their deaths?"

Don't treat others like fools!

Upon hearing this, Grindelwald scolded him with exasperation, "Hundreds of people have faked their deaths. Do you think the White Wizards won't notice the flaws? Going too far will only make the enemy pay more attention to us and intensify their investigation!"

You can fake your death. The White Wizards are mainly targeting you. Once you 'die,' the White Wizards' pursuit will be greatly reduced.

The remaining Death Eaters, operating in scattered groups, were seen by the White Wizards as leaderless and disorganized, not worthy of serious attention. They believed that further investigation would eventually lead to complacency, and ultimately, the White Wizards would simply issue international arrest warrants and let them run wild.

“Sir, you are indeed very thoughtful.” Voldemort was convinced by Grindelwald.

On this issue, Grindelwald had no ulterior motives or calculations; he genuinely offered advice from the perspective of Voldemort and the Dark Wizard, which was perfectly reasonable.

But someone like Grindelwald doesn't give advice for nothing.

He began demanding payment: "In addition, while everyone is secretly recruiting dark wizards and expanding their power, please help me find a magic stone so I can make an elixir of immortality to prolong my life."

Also, please help me collect the materials for the black magic ritual that restores the body to a youthful state.

Whether the blessing from the founder of Hogwarts is real or not, we will never be able to enjoy this magical blessing.

"I can't possibly lead the dark wizards in this old and decrepit state, only to end up before a young Albus!"

"Sir, I know the ancient black magic that can restore one's body to a youthful state, and I can also help you collect the necessary ritual materials."

But the Philosopher's Stone... I wonder if that thing still exists. Back then, Voldemort... it was because I wanted the Philosopher's Stone that Dumbledore and Dudley Dursley plotted against me.

It's likely that the real Philosopher's Stone is either still in their possession or has already been destroyed by them.

We can't get it right now.

Voldemort was very troubled by Grindelwald's new demands.

What a joke! If the Philosopher's Stone were really that easy to obtain, she wouldn't be in this state today.

"The Philosopher's Stone in Albus's hand was made by Nicolas Flamel, and there are other Philosopher's Stones in the world besides this one."

Grindelwald was very dissatisfied with Voldemort's refusal and frowned as he pointed out, "Nicolas Flamel also created the Philosopher's Stone based on the books left by his predecessors. In the history before Nicolas Flamel, there must have been other wizards who created other Philosopher's Stones."

Send your men to search! Send the people you've recruited to search too! If you really can't find it, go to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, find the legacy books left by Nicolas Flamel, and then find a skilled alchemist to forge me a Philosopher's Stone!

I don't believe Nicolas Flamel would willingly die without leaving a legacy for his alma mater!

Voldemort's eyes widened upon hearing this.

These two ideas for obtaining the Philosopher's Stone were things that she and Voldemort had never thought of before.

Don't tell me, really don't tell me!

By searching ancient texts and checking records related to the Philosopher's Stone, a large area can be roughly identified. By dispatching numerous people to conduct a thorough search using magic, it is quite possible to find the Philosopher's Stone left behind by an ancient wizard.

It may take a long time, and it may ultimately be in vain.

The idea of ​​searching books and finding people to make one's own magic stone is also feasible to some extent.

However, it is also quite difficult.

Searching for Nick Lemaître's legacy in Beauxbatons is easy enough, since there are no legendary wizards in Beauxbatons anyway.

But finding an alchemist who can create the Philosopher's Stone according to tradition is like conducting a carpet search for the Philosopher's Stone left behind by ancient wizards—it's like wading through an ocean to find a needle in a haystack.

Dumbledore and Dudley Dursley might be able to do it, but those two would never help them craft the Philosopher's Stone.

So... go ahead and look!

Although Voldemort is actually quite young and can absorb the life force of others to heal her own injuries, she still has a need to prolong her life.

After all, the life force absorbed from others is primarily used for healing; it can extend lifespan, but only by a small amount.

Otherwise, Voldemort wouldn't have gone to such lengths to plot the Philosopher's Stone.

Drinking the elixir of immortality transformed from a magic stone allows one to live indefinitely as long as the elixir is consumed continuously.

And black magic can compensate for the inability to maintain bodily functions.

"Sir, I understand. I'll do as you say!" Voldemort agreed immediately after she figured it out.

"That's good."

Grindelwald's expression softened considerably. "Let's go! These people will be waking up soon."

"Yes, sir!"

Voldemort nodded in agreement, then looked at the twenty-odd elite Death Eaters she had brought with her and said to them, "Let's go!"

Among these twenty-odd elite Death Eaters, several had already turned and left before Voldemort gave the order.

……

Dudley's clone remained hidden, tracking and observing Voldemort's movements.

At this moment, he watched as Grindelwald, Voldemort, and the Death Eaters left Nurmengard.

They exchanged magical means of communication, then each used Apparition to teleport away.

Furthermore, it was observed that Grindelwald paused briefly at the gates of Nurmengard before departing.

He looked as if he were looking at the slogans he had personally carved on the gate years ago, reminiscing about the past.

In fact, Dudley had already noticed Grindelwald's use of mental magic to sense his surroundings and had even seen through Grindelwald's true intentions with his conceptual perception.

Grindelwald wasn't reminiscing about the past; he was clearly suspecting that someone in the White Wizard's camp had been secretly following Voldemort, influencing her, and trying to control the situation.

That's why I looked for a suitable opportunity and used all my most secretive and powerful investigative abilities to search and observe.

The result, naturally, was nothing.

Grindelwald's normal perception was unable to detect Dudley's clone, and his full-force mental magic was essentially the same to Dudley's clone.

Dudley's magical foundation is now unprecedented, and his abilities are already beyond comprehension.

Dudley could easily suppress and break all the magical techniques that a legendary wizard like Grindelwald could use.

They are no longer on the same level.

However, Dali still applauds Grindelwald's analytical skills and ideas.

I am relieved and happy about Grindelwald's decision.
