The Wizarding Journey of Hogwarts

Chapter 864 Learn about the Elixir of Life

Bell, who was stuck in a thousand words and didn't know how to express it, finally decided to respond to his father with practical actions.

Bell took out a light red gemstone from his pocket, put it on the table, pushed it in front of his father, waved his hand, and planned to stand up and return to his bedroom.

"Wait! What do you mean?"

William hurriedly stopped Bell, who was about to leave. He didn't know what the other party meant when he planned to leave without saying a word.
"Also, you actually hid a Philosopher's Stone on your body? Is it the full version? Do you know how big the gap in the Philosopher's Stone is now? How dare you hide it privately!"

With the ice core produced on [Dark Star], the current inferior version of the Magic Stone-level magic core is indeed enough, but the full version of the magic core is still very scarce.After all, there are too few ice elements that can grow to this level.

Moreover, unlike the non-attribute magic power in the Philosopher's Stone, the magic power in the ice core has its own ice attribute, and its versatility is still slightly worse.

"I don't have anything private. I just made this Philosopher's Stone a few days ago. I originally wanted to keep it for myself, so I'm giving it to you now."

Although after forging [Frostmourne], Bell himself has no shortage of magic power, and it can even be said that he can squander it however he wants.But when making some powerful magic props, you still need to use an independent magic power source.

That's right, Bell, who had rested for several months, started to feel restless again, planning to make some fun 'gadgets'.

"Humph! That's about the same."

William picked up the Philosopher's Stone in front of him, and played with it in his hand with a happy face.

Ashamed to say, he, the head of the Menethil family, has only touched the real Sorcerer's Stone once so far, and he was taken away within a few minutes.

Now he has finally come across the second one again, this time, he will play with it for a few more days, until he has had enough of it.

"Then this matter is settled. Next Monday morning, go to the company's headquarters with me. I will assign you a position as a supervisor first, and let you go down to inspect and understand the basic situation."

After speaking, William planned to get up and return to his bedroom to play with the Philosopher's Stone in his hand.

"and many more!"

But this time, it was Bell who stopped his father from leaving.

"Why is it settled? Didn't I give you everything, shouldn't it be nothing to do with me?"

"What do you mean?"

William looked at Bell in puzzlement.

"The Philosopher's Stone. You can use this Philosopher's Stone to make the elixir of life, and then you can always be in charge of our family's business. Let alone 40 years old, even 400 years old is nothing!"

Once again, Bell was moved by himself.These days, if he thinks about his father like this, ask who else!
"..."

William looked at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, then at Bell, then at the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, and then at Bell.

"No, no—! I don't want to work for another 400 years. I have done enough. I want to retire!"

'I fell! '

The Philosopher's Stone, which he could not put it down just now, was like a hot potato at the moment, and William returned it to Bell without hesitation.

As the business of the Menethil family got bigger and bigger, there were naturally more and more things to deal with every day. Gradually, William began to feel powerless.

Especially recently, his sleep time has been shortened again and again. Every time he takes a bath, he loses a lot of hair.In order to keep his handsome blond hair, the frequency of his bathing has dropped a lot recently, and for this reason, he has been disgusted by his wife.

After much difficulty, those who look forward to the stars and the moon finally look forward to Bell's graduation, thinking that they can cast the burden on Bell's shoulders.In the end, who would have thought that Bell, a bastard, gave him a Sorcerer's Stone casually, intending to let him work for another 400 years.

Is that 400 years?

That's countless years!
and tons of hair...

Based on William's understanding of Bell, if he took away the Philosopher's Stone today, Bell would definitely let him do it to death.

God knows how many years later that will be. Anyway, Nicole Flamel has lived for 600 years, and he was still alive and kicking when he met some time ago.

When he thinks about the countless years in the future, he will have endless work every day, stay up late every day to review documents and give instructions, and the day of retirement will be delayed again and again, and there is no end in sight. William feels that there is only darkness in front of him. Immediately, he slammed his head to death in front of Bell.

"I don't care! You are the heir of the family, this family will be yours sooner or later, you must take responsibility for me!"

Since the emotional route cannot be followed, William can only take the righteous route and use power to overwhelm others.

"Uh... How about, Shanna, you will be the head of the house?"

Seeing that his father had entered a state of 'unreasonable', Bell really didn't like that kind of boring work and lifestyle, so he decided to abdicate and hand over the future of the family to his talented younger sister.

"do not want!"

Shanna turned her head with a look of disgust, temporarily ignoring her bad brother and father.

"..."

Bell looked awkwardly at the back of his sister's head left for him, and then at his father's aggressive eyes, and couldn't help but feel a headache.It is impossible for him to persecute Shanna like his father forced him, so if he wants to solve this matter, he has to solve his own father in the end.

"Father, to be honest, you should stop expanding. There are only a few people in our family. If we continue to expand, it will be easy to cause trouble. And it doesn't make much sense.

For some less important fields, it is okay to distribute more to our partners, or even to wizards from other camps. "

If it weren't for the magical power of magic, the contract in the wizarding world would have far stronger binding force on wizards than the contract made by Muggles relying on the law. With the current size of the Menethil family, the following industries have long been It's time for the phenomenon of obedience and deviance.

In addition, because the Menethil family has absorbed huge benefits, many wizards have stood on the opposite side of the Menethil family, and from time to time, they will cause them some trouble in the open and in the dark, even if the current The special operations team has expanded to 500 people, but it can still barely support it.

Distributing some benefits to others can not only resolve the hostility of others, but also streamline the industrial structure of the Menethil family, freeing up more energy and focusing on more important things, which can be said to be beneficial. A bad one.

"Well... indeed, I will start to arrange it later."

In fact, William has been thinking about this matter recently.

Some bad signs in the family, as the patriarch in charge of the overall situation, of course, it is impossible for him not to notice.However, the benefits within easy reach are placed in front of him, and he is very reluctant to let him hand over to others for nothing.Bell's words today were the last straw that broke the camel's back, helping him to make up his mind.

If you are willing to give up, if you have to give up, you will gain.

"But you still have to take over the family affairs!"

It's absolutely impossible for him to "devote himself to death" for one thing at a time!
