Harry Potter and the Hidden Treasure (Volume 3)

Chapter 452 The Astonishing Truth

On the first page of the Book of Abraham, the Philosopher's Stone was depicted.

Evan knew that the potent magic within a Philosopher's Stone was essential for the malevolent gods to enter the real world.

However, obviously, that was not the true purpose of the Philosopher's Stones created by ancient sorcerers. It could not be that they aimed to invoke beings clearly beyond their control; that would be suicidal.

To summon these horrendous malevolent spirits is to ask for the world to be destroyed. The ancient sorcerers would not do such foolish things. Simply put, in their exploration of magic, things deviated from all they had anticipated.

Nevertheless, Evan was more convinced that the stones were also linked to the malevolent gods at that time, especially after learning that the "space" separate from the malevolent gods' life was not in the real world. The Philosopher's Stones were the tools used to help the wizards break the barriers of space and enter spaces of higher dimensions.

Only in this way can we fully harness the immense magic it contains.

Any other transformation and use of the Philosopher's Stone would be a waste of the powerful force it holds.

After Evan defeated the evil god, the third part of the Book of Abraham displayed a portrait of him.

Clearly, the third part was related to the malevolent spirits.

It was not difficult to speculate that it might have recorded the way to truly defeat the malevolent spirits.

Perhaps it was a powerful spell, maybe it was a certain object; everything was possible!

Since the key themes of the first and third parts of this book were related to the malevolent gods, then the scepter appearing in the second part certainly was no exception.

Upon reflection, what role would the scepter have related to the malevolent spirits and different spaces!

Flamel had completely interpreted the first part of the Book of Abraham, which mainly documented alchemy.

Through alchemy, a Philosopher's Stone could be transformed and even created directly.

The Philosopher's Stone held potent magic, but alone was not enough to enter the different space.

Otherwise, Evan would now have a Philosopher's Stone, and could enter the space where the malevolent gods were like the ancient sorcerers.

But he did not know what to do. For now, he could only use the Philosopher's Stone by harnessing its Magic Power.

This was because the Philosopher's Stone only provided the necessary magic. If he truly wanted to enter that space, he needed specific spells or magical paraphernalia.

The serpent scepter of Slytherin was the magical paraphernalia.

According to the information on the slate obtained by Evan, Slytherin ventured into the Lair of Herpo the Foul in antiquity when he was young.

As a result of that adventure, he brought back a horrible malevolent god, a real malevolent god.

Slytherin defeated it, studied its body, and divided it into three parts.

Based on the various information Evan had, the malevolent spirit that Slytherin captured was probably Herpo the Foul himself.

Herpo the Foul was the last ancient sorcerer to appear in the history of magic, and the origin of all modern dark magic.

He himself had a very orthodox heritage. It was also possible that he left behind the serpent scepter.

Perhaps it was what he had used to move between the real world and the world of higher dimensions, and to build his Lair in that space.

Evan arrived at this conclusion and found that this theory could solve most of the mysteries he could not explain before.

Although this fact was surprising, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Perhaps the space of higher dimensions had inspired Evan. Anyway, as he passed through here, he suddenly thought of this and wanted to understand it all.

The whole process took place in the blink of an eye. By the time Evan came to himself, he had already reached his destination.

His feet hit the ground, and Hermione stumbled into him.

Evan hurriedly helped Hermione, and in doing so, caught Ginny, who was about to fall.

On the other hand, Harry and Ron were tangled and fell together, and Fred and George were no better.

They seemed to be torn and twisted by the wind, and then fell backward.

Only Mr. Weasley and Sirius remained steadfast.

Evan looked around with curiosity, and the place they arrived at was like a vast expanse of misty moorland.

In front of them stood two weary and grumpy wizards.

One of them held a large golden watch, and the other a thick scroll of parchment and a quill.

Both were dressed as Muggles, though very amateurishly.

The man with the golden watch wore a tweed suit with thigh-high Wellington boots.

His colleague wore a kilt and a poncho like those worn by men from the Scottish Highlands.

"Good morning, Basil," Mr. Weasley said.

He took the Quaffle and handed it to the wizard in the kilt.

The man threw it into a large box of used Portkeys beside him.

"Hello, Arthur!" said Basil. "Oh, you're Sirius Black. I've read your story. My wife and I think you're a true hero."

"Thank you," Sirius said.

This had happened frequently since Evan helped clear his name.

Heroes in times of peace are even more revered. There were even many who believed Sirius should become Minister of Magic.

"Arthur, you're lucky not to be on duty!" Basil said wearily. "We've been here all night, and people have been arriving all the time. Well, you better clear off; a big party's coming from Diagon Alley."

The wizard beside him pulled out a long scroll of parchment and searched it laboriously.

"Let me see where your camp is... Weasley... Weasley!" he looked and said. "About a quarter-mile walk that way, the first field you come to. The site manager is called Mr. Roberts."

He looked back to Sirius and muttered, "Black... Black... Found it! You're in the nearest one, right next to the first camp."

"Sirius, did you book a camp alone?!" Harry asked hastily.

"A few months ago, I planned to show you the World Cup. At that time, I booked one directly!" Sirius said. "Look at the surroundings. I wanted us to be together. It will be livelier."

Evidently, Sirius's reservation was much more exclusive than Mr. Weasley's.

In a recent review in the Hogwarts Magic Newspaper, Evan had seen the relevant description.

Sirius's camp location was the best. It was closer to the competition field. The neighborhood was full of pure-blood wizarding families and noble wizards.

It was said that athletes from both sides of the game were also there.

Of course, that price was also much higher than ordinary camps, costing many Galleons of Gold.
