Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Chapter 272 Greedy Du Plessis

There are many churches in Avignon, the most famous of which is the Papal Palace, which stands majestically at the foot of Dome Hill. It was once known as "the strongest and most beautiful house in the world."

Since 300 popes lived here two to three hundred years ago, Avignon is also known as the second Rome and one of Jiao Huihui's strongholds.

Dean felt incredible about the Flamel couple's itinerary. As a wizard, perhaps one of the most famous wizards of this era, what was he doing in Avignon, which was almost surrounded by enemies?

If it's to meet someone, wouldn't it be better to make an appointment to meet somewhere else?

This doubt was not completely solved until Dean quietly followed the Flamel couple to meet their date.

This is a skinny middle-aged man, about 35 or [-] years old, with a goatee, who looks very smart.

The Flamel couple called him Du Plessis.

Du Plessis met with the Flamel couple at the mansion where he lived, which was a small apartment behind a chapel not far from the famous Papal Palace.

The two parties seemed to have been familiar with each other for a long time. After the meeting, there was little exchange of greetings before the Lemay and his wife were let in.

This made Dean a little regretful that he could not get more information about Du Plessis from the conversation between the two parties.

Dean noticed that even the Flamel couple became very low-key and cautious after entering Avignon, just like an ordinary farm couple coming to the city to worship, without showing any magic fluctuations.

Almost all nearby residents are believers. Even though Dean is proud of his extraordinary strength, he doesn't dare to make trouble here. He knows very well that an elephant can be killed by too many ants.

He doesn't even dare to use magic easily here. God knows if there are magic monitoring devices in churches everywhere.

When the Flamel couple entered Duplessey's apartment, other wizards might not be able to do anything without using magic, but it was not a problem for Dean.

While no one was paying attention, he went around to the back of the apartment, disguised himself as a mysterious walker, and used incredible agility to sneak in quietly.

After sneaking into the house, Dean secretly rejoiced. Maybe Du Plessis also knew Flamel's identity and knew that it was very dangerous to meet them here, so he had already dismissed the servants, which gave him enough room to move. , not to be discovered.

Voices came from a room in the apartment, and Dean tiptoed to the door.

Dean heard Nico put something on the table.

"Bishop Du Plessi, this is our sincerity." Nico's title to Du Plessi showed that he knew the other party's identity very well.

"Mr. Flamel, I have some unfortunate news for you. I have changed my mind." After a while of chattering, Du Plessis said apologetically.

It was obviously the sound of him checking those things.

"I brought everything you needed before, but you suddenly regretted it." Nico said lightly, "Bishop Duplesi, this is not like your style."

"Because I found that your needs are not simple." Du Plessis replied slowly.

"Our demands have not changed," Perenal emphasized, raising his voice.

"That's because... I didn't discover your true purpose at first." Du Plessis replied calmly.

"What is our real purpose?" Perenaar laughed angrily.

"People always think that it is our church that has the most dealings with souls, not you wizards." Du Plessis said softly, finishing his sentence.

"Then what is your request?" Nico asked in a deep voice after understanding what Duplesi meant.

"Not much. I just need to add this to the original."

Duplesi tapped the table twice and seemed to write something on it.

"Diplessi, your demands are too much." Perenal's angry voice came out.

"I don't think so - what you need is the soul, and what I need is the body. We each get what we need." Du Plessis chuckled.

"Sorry, this is impossible! We swore that the magic stone is only for the two of us." Nico's answer made Dean guess Duplesi's additional conditions.

"Really? As far as I know, there is another person, or a soul, who is using the Philosopher's Stone - do you have to let me say that name?" Du Plessis faintly threatened.

Hearing this, Dean's heart moved, and he vaguely felt as if he had caught something.

"I didn't expect the church's hand to stretch out so far." Nico's voice deepened.

"It's not easy to find someone with magical talent among your followers." Perenal continued.

"But that doesn't mean it can't be found." Du Plessis said meaningfully.

After that, the room fell into a long silence. If he hadn't felt the magic fluctuations, Dean almost thought that all the people inside had disapparated and left.

"Bishop Du Plessi, I think you have a misunderstanding." It was Nico who broke the silence.

"Appreciate further details."

"Not just any person can become immortal by using the magic stone."

Nico's words set off a storm in Dean's mind. He had never heard that there were restrictions on the use of the Sorcerer's Stone. Could it be that the Sorcerer's Stone still picks people?

If Nico didn't lie, then why would Voldemort control Quirrell to mess around in the future?Even if he did get the Philosopher's Stone and found that he couldn't use it, would he be mad to death?

Dean felt that he had accidentally discovered a way to defeat Voldemort at the lowest cost - perhaps Dumbledore knew this, so he boldly arranged the Philosopher's Stone test that seemed perfect but had flaws everywhere.

Even if Harry didn't complete that plan, it might be a blessing in disguise that would cause Voldemort to suffer a heavy blow.

Dean's thoughts wandered unconsciously again, so much so that he almost ignored the most important part of the conversation.

"Then the restrictions on using the magic stone are..."

"The magic stone itself is an alchemical item, so if the user cannot withstand the energy brought by the magic stone, then the magic stone is nothing more than the most powerful poison."

"That's exactly what I want." Du Plessis' answer surprised everyone.

"Aren't you asking for the Magic Stone for yourself?" Perenal exclaimed.

"I am still very young, and if nothing happens, I will have a long life, so the need for the Philosopher's Stone is not yet very urgent." Du Plessis said leisurely: "But for some people who are about to reach the end of their lives, For people, any price can be paid as long as it allows them to survive.”

"Who do you want to get the Philosopher's Stone for?" Nico asked after being silent for a long time.

"One of my teachers and good friends. He has been very ill recently. Many people say that he is not going to die soon, but I think he has not reached the peak of his life, so I want to help him." Du Plessis said solemnly. explained.

"What if he can't withstand the energy of the Philosopher's Stone and dies?" Perenal couldn't help but ask.

"That can only mean that the Lord couldn't wait to call him back to heaven and assigned him a more important task." After Du Plessis finished speaking in a solemn tone, he suddenly shouted: "Who is he?"
