Chapter 452: The astonishing truth

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

Ivan knew that the powerful magic of the Philosopher's Stone was indispensable for the evil gods to come to the real world.

However, this was not the real purpose of the Philosopher's Stones created by the ancient sorcerers. It could not be that they wanted to give birth to a being that was obviously out of control; that would be suicidal.

To summon these horrible evil spirits is to ask that the world be destroyed. Ancient sorcerers would not do such foolish things. It was just that in their exploration of magic, things were beyond what they had expected.

But still, Ivan was more convinced that the stones linked to the evil gods as well back in the day, especially after learning that the "alien" space the evil gods lived in was not in the real world. The Philosopher's Stones were the ones used to help sorcerers break through the barriers of space and enter different high-dimensional spaces.

Only in this way can we make full use of the enormous magic it contains.

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

After Ivan defeated the evil god, the third part of the Book of Abraham showed a portrait of him.

Obviously, the third part was related to evil spirits.

It was not difficult to speculate that he might have recorded the way to actually defeat the evil spirits.

Perhaps it was a powerful spell, perhaps it was a certain element; anything was possible!

Since the key themes of the first and third parts of this book were related to the evil gods, the scepter that appeared in the second part was no exception.

Come to think of it, what role would the scepter have related to evil spirits and different spaces?!

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

With alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone could be transformed or even created directly.

The Philosopher's Stone had powerful magic, but it was not enough to enter a different space.

Otherwise, Ivan now had a Philosopher's Stone, and he could enter the space where the evil gods were, he was like the ancient sorcerers.

But he did not know what to do. For now, he could only use the Philosopher's Stone by exploiting its magical power.

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

Slytherin's snake scepter was the accessory.

From the information on the slate obtained by Ivan, Slytherin had ventured into the lair of Herpo the Mad in ancient times when he was young.

As a result of that adventure, he brought back a horrible evil god, a truly evil god.

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

According to the information Ivan had, the evil spirit that Slytherin had captured was probably Herpo the Mad himself.

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

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

Perhaps it was what he had used to transport himself between the real world and the world of high dimensions, and to build his lair in that space.

Ivan came to this conclusion, and found that this theory could solve most of the mysteries that he could not explain before.

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

Perhaps high-dimensional space had inspired Ivan. Anyway, when he passed this way, he suddenly thought about this and wanted to understand it all.

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

His feet crashed to the ground, and Hermione staggered towards him.

Ivan quickly helped Hermione up, and as he did so, he pulled Ginny, who was about to fall.

On the other side, Harry and Ron got tangled up and fell together, and Fred and George were no better off.

They seemed to be disoriented and twisted by the wind, and then fell backwards.

Only Mr. Weasley and Sirius were steady.

"5:46, from St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Illness and Injury!" said a voice.

Ivan looked around curiously, and the place they arrived at was like a vast, deserted, misty wasteland.

In front of them stood two tired and grumpy-looking wizards.

One of them held a large gold watch and the other a thick roll of parchment and a quill.

Both were dressed as Muggles, albeit very inexpertly.

The man with the gold watch wore a tweed suit with thigh-high flip-flops.

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

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

He picked up the Quaffle and handed it to the wizard in the kilt.

The man tossed it into a large chest beside him.

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

"Thank you!" said Sirius.

This had happened often since Ivan had helped him clear his name.

Peacetime heroes were even more revered. There were even many people who believed Sirius should become the Minister of Magic.

"Arthur, you're lucky you're not on duty!" said Basil wearily. "We've been here all night, and people have been coming all the time. Okay, you'd better get out of the way; we've got a big party coming from Diagon Alley."

The wizard next to him pulled out a long roll of parchment and fumbled with it.

"Let me see where your camp is... Weasley... Weasley!" he looked at it and said. "A quarter of a mile away, the first camp you come to. The caretaker of the place is called Mr. Roberts." He looked at Sirius again and kept muttering, "Black.... Black... I found it! You're in the deepest recess, right next to the first campsite."

"Sirius, you booked a camp by yourself?" Harry asked hurriedly.

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

Obviously, Sirius' reservation was much higher than Mr. Weasley's.

In a recent review of the Hogwarts Magical Diary, Ivan had seen the pertinent description.

The location of Sirius's camp was the best. It was the closest to the competition field. The neighborhood was full of pureblood wizarding families and noble wizards.

Athletes from both sides of the game were said to be there as well.

Of course, that price was also much more expensive than the ordinary ones, and cost many Gallons of gold.
