Riddle sent Daiyu back to Ravenclaw's lounge, told her a few words, and returned to Slytherin.

One day later, when Daiyu was eating breakfast, she received a letter from an owl. She was wondering who would send her a letter because she had no relatives in England, and the envelope was signed "Tom Riddle ’ The name, no doubt, is exactly what Riddle’s gorgeous notes are.

Daiyu had some bad premonition in her heart, and the action of opening the letter was a little slow and heavy.Seeing this, Alice leaned over and asked, "Riddle's?"

Daiyu said, "How do you know?"

Alice said: "I foresee that you will not be very happy after reading this letter, otherwise you should not read it."

Daiyu understood, and almost forgot that Alice, as a vampire with special abilities, is very powerful in prophecy.But after hearing this, Daiyu suddenly didn't want to open the letter even more.

But eager to know about Riddle's situation, Daiyu calmed down to open the envelope and read the letter carefully—"Dai, I have something to go on a long trip, and I have already asked the principal for a three-week leave. I will take care of my health when I am away." , don’t keep studying even at the end of the term. Wait for me to come back. I will bring you health, Riddle.”

Riddle, what on earth was he leaving Hogwarts for?What does it mean to "bring your health to you when you come back"?Didn't he find useful black magic books in the library, so he was going to Grindelwald to discuss black magic?

You know, Gellert Grindelwald is one of the most dangerous dark wizards of all time.If they really went to look for him and found him, would Riddle really be able to escape unscathed?Or, is there another purpose for his trip?

Daiyu's heart suddenly tugged, not sure what Riddle was going to do.Thinking of the scene where Riddle turned into a snake-faced monster that he saw in the Illusory Realm, how could he calm down?Could Riddle really go down that road?Will he really be addicted to black magic and finally lose his humanity and become a demon?

If she was by his side, she could still protect him and prevent him from being attacked by dark emotions, but now that he left alone, Daiyu was really flustered.How can you eat the breakfast in front of you?

"Look," said Alice, shrugging her shoulders. "I told you a long time ago that you would be unhappy if you read it, so I told you not to."

Daiyu said: "Alice, can you predict where Riddle is and what he is going to do?"

Alice said, "I'll try."

She closed her eyes, opened them after a while and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have enough information, I can't help you."

Daiyu nodded dejectedly, she went to ask the headmaster, the headmaster said that Riddle only came home because of an accident at home, and he needed to deal with family affairs, without even thinking about it, he knew that it was an excuse made up by Riddle.Daiyu went to ask his roommate Malfoy again, but Malfoy's eyes were a little dodgy, but no matter how hard he asked, he didn't say anything and just avoided her.

It was late at night, and Daiyu stood by the huge arched window outside the Ravenclaw dormitory, quietly watching a lone moon hanging high in the sky not far away.The night wind blows the cyan and blue curtains, making a rustling sound.In Chinese poetry, looking at the moon is often either nostalgic or homesick.

In the same bright and beautiful moon in a foreign land, a black shadow slowly flew over. It turned out to be an owl, and it sat obediently on the window sill beside Daiyu.Great joy surged in Daiyu's heart, and she quickly touched the owl's head, took down the letter in its mouth, and unfolded it. It was indeed from Riddle—"Dai, I have arrived at my destination. Tomorrow. When I come back. Riddle."

After all, what kind of success is it?

At this time, in a small hotel in Devon, Riddle was also sitting by the window thinking about something.Legend has it that the Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Sorcerer's Stone, is a unity of spirit and matter, and is the fifth element in addition to the four basic elements of "earth, air, water, and fire".It can touch stones into gold, giving people absolute wealth; it can also revive human flesh and bones, giving people eternal life.For thousands of years, countless wizards and alchemists have dedicated their lives to refining the Philosopher's Stone.The only one who succeeded was Nicole Flamel, a French alchemist in the 600th century.And because of his possession of the Philosopher's Stone, he has lived for more than [-] years, and is now living in Devon, England with his wife Perenal.I don't have any other hobbies on weekdays, I just like listening to operas and drinking tea.

And Riddle has lived in Devon for many days, and he has already found out that Nicole Flamel and his wife will watch Shakespeare's "Hamlet" in a big theater in the city center tomorrow, and even asked about the number of the box they reserved. Clear.Just waiting to see if I can take the risk to get the Philosopher's Stone tomorrow.If you can't understand it with affection, you can only coerce and lure.In order to prevent accidents, Riddle has already covered the box with hidden magic scrolls, but these were bought with funds provided by the Malfoy family, just to ensure that nothing will go wrong tomorrow.

Early mornings in Devon are usually accompanied by the singing of birds and the smell of flowers. Early in the morning, Perenal got up to bake bread and cook a nutritious and delicious French breakfast, while Nicole Lemay took some small gardening tools and went to cook Flowers in the small garden downstairs.Half an hour later, he held a bouquet of purple vetiver iris and inserted it into a vase. This is the national flower of France, which symbolizes love and auspiciousness.He and his wife kissed each other on the cheek, and then they ate breakfast amidst the scent of irises.The two have been together for nearly 80 to [-] years, and they can still be so affectionate, which has to be envied.

After breakfast, LeMay and his wife went to the Grand Theater hand in hand. Listening to opera is their common hobby.From the fourteenth century until today, the two of them even met in the opera house.But never expected that when listening to the opera this time, an unexpected guest appeared in the box.

He was tall and slender, wearing a black robe that only wizards would wear, his face was covered by some kind of magic, hidden under a cloud of black mist, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The visitor was not kind, and Lemay, who had the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, had experienced this kind of thing countless times in the past hundreds of years.

"Your Excellency, are you coming to the theater?" Based on years of experience, Flamel knew that calling for help at this time would have no effect. The box must have been affected by magic and isolated from the outside world.

Riddle bent down and said hello: "Mr. Nicholas Flamel, Mrs. Perenal."

Nicholas Flamel Nick Flamel was known as the Alchemist.Riddle called him that, also to remind him of his former identity, and he had a mental preparation in advance.

Flamel smiled and said, "It's been many years since anyone called me that, young man. Which of the three major magic schools are you from?"

Riddle was shocked when he heard this, his voice had been changed by magic, and his face outside the black robe was also wrapped in black mist, just like that, Flamel unexpectedly guessed some of his identity information immediately , It really is a person who has lived for hundreds of years, so you can't underestimate it.

Riddle collected his thoughts and said respectfully, "Sir, forgive me for not revealing my identity easily. I have come here to obtain the Philosopher's Stone."

Everyone knows this well, so Lemay said directly: "For what...wealth? Or eternal life?"

"To extend my life," Riddle said, "to extend the life of the one I love, and I hope that my husband can be fulfilled."

Le May patted his ears and said to his wife: "My wife, are my ears getting worse and worse? I have heard this kind of bad excuse for hundreds of years. Can you change it to a fresh one so that I can make sure that my ears are not hallucinations?" ?”

Perenal also smiled and said: "It's a bit old-fashioned, so if you want to hear wonderful stories, you still have to go to the theater, so that classic stories can still taste fresh even if they are repeated."

"Okay then," the ridicule of the two of them didn't make Riddle get angry or retreat, Riddle said, "I'll come and tell a new story."

He stood by the window, with his back against the curtain, and slowly said: "A long time ago, there were two completely different worlds. In these two worlds, there lived a miserable boy and a happy girl. Every few months, they The soul of each other will come to each other and accompany each other to grow, but they cannot see each other's spirit body. Several years have passed, and the two of them have never been aware of the existence of this mutual dependence relationship. I don't know if it is the blessing of the goddess of luck, a certain One day, they could finally perceive each other's spiritual body, and they began to know each other. With the help of each other, they transformed their bad side. The girl's happy life didn't last long, and she was soon forced to live. Into the abyss. The boy swore to protect her, so he brought her to his own world, trying to protect her under his wings. But they didn't realize that the curse on the girl was not because of her place. The girl's life is already in jeopardy, so the boy thought of using the Philosopher's Stone to help her continue her life. Even if it bears the name of evil, he will not hesitate."

Time passed slowly, and Riddle's voice was very indifferent and soft, without any emotion, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with himself.But if this is the case, the LeMay couple was dumbfounded.

"The story is over," the black-robed man chuckled, "Does it sound good?"

There was a long silence in the box, only the thunderous applause from the stage below.Against the backdrop of the story just now, it looks a little sad and a little ridiculous.After a long time, I heard Flamel hesitate to say: "We... are very sorry for you, but..."

"However, I can't give you the Philosopher's Stone," Perenal looked at the face of the man in black robe, even if he couldn't see his gaze, he could still feel a heavy sense of oppression, so he could only continue embarrassingly, "... sorry."

"Oh," Riddle chuckled, and as if he just exhaled a constricted breath, he took out his wand and said, "Then, I have no choice but to apologize."

As the words fell, Riddle's wand casually waved in the air, and the various magic scrolls originally arranged in the box came into use. They exploded one after another, and headed towards the couple one after another.Perenal hugged her husband's arm in panic, but Flamel was not very panicked, and shook out a dozen magic scrolls.For a moment, the magic in the time scroll attacked each other, and the sound of explosions could be heard endlessly. Sawdust flew everywhere in the room, thick smoke billowed, and cups and plates were messed up.But miraculously, no outsiders noticed the slightest bit.

The power of the two magic scrolls is equal, and they will be exhausted soon.What follows is a contest of strength between the two parties.In this regard, Flamel is just an alchemist after all. Even though he has lived for hundreds of years, his own strength is still very weak. How could he be able to defeat Riddle, who has strong magic power? After a few confinement spells, the couple were tied up , thrown in the corner.

Riddle pointed at them with the tip of his wand: "Give me the Philosopher's Stone, please."

LeMay looked at his trembling wife, closed his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, sir, we can't take any risks to let the Philosopher's Stone fall into the hands of people who may have evil plans."

Riddle repeated coldly: "Please hand over the Philosopher's Stone, and I will let you go immediately."

Although Perenal was panicked, he said loudly: "I thought you were a kind person, but seeing what you are doing now, who knows if what you said just now is deceiving us?"

Hearing this, Riddle felt a little angry in his heart, and he said, "I'm sorry for what I'm going to do next, but I must get the Philosopher's Stone!"

He waved his wand, and a forbidden black magic spell was about to hit Nick Flamel: "Crucio..."

"Enough!" A majestic middle-aged voice came, and with it was a bright white magic light. Riddle was hit by this overbearing magic and took a step back, spit out a mouthful of blood, and the concealment magic disappeared. , showing a pale and gloomy face.

"Tom, is this what you would do?!" The angry voice said majestically, it was Dumbledore, "Is this what you chose?"

At this time, on the stage downstairs, the actor Hamlet was also chanting a classic line—tobe, ornottobe: that is the question.

To be or not to be?Why did you live, and why didn't you die?Is this really a choice?What a sarcastic joke.
