Chapter 24 Where Do We Come From?

In just one breakfast, Rove experienced a rollercoaster of emotions.

Wizards who had only been seen in "History of Magic" or newspapers in the past, and even people who were thought to have been dead for a long time, all appeared in front of Rove.

Miranda Gorshak, the witch who wrote the spells textbook "Standard Spells", was also Professor Flitwick's most respected witch... She kept asking Rolf if there were any mistakes in the textbook.

Yoselid Wadcock, the holder of the record for the most goals scored in the British Quidditch League in the 20th century... took the initiative to chat with Rove about his ball-playing skills.

Hearing that Rolf was on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team, he was invited to try out for the club.

There were also a large number of wizards who had cordial exchanges with Rolf. The young man turned from shock to excitement, and finally to numbness...

In other places, it would be quite rare for a famous wizard to appear, but in this small restaurant, even those who have not received the Order of Merlin are embarrassed to say hello.

This feeling is very similar to Luo Fu's previous life when he went to a meeting with his mentor. What he saw was either an academician or a Yangtze River scholar. No matter how bad he was, he had to be an outstanding student.

Even the person who serves tea and pours water has a youth fund!

Academic bastards like Luo Fu are rare in this world.

After Luo Fe finished his meal, he quickly made an excuse and left the restaurant. He was too young and became the object of ridicule and discussion.

There was also an old witch who pinched his face and lamented that his young body was so moist.

Even the wizard wanted to introduce his great-granddaughter to Rolf... but you introduced him, just talking and not doing anything!

What? Already in your twenties? Forget it, Luofu is not interested in the old aunt.

Tonks was right, let alone him, Newt and other wizards were the ones who lowered the average age... They were young.

Luofu walked out of the house and walked along the road. When he saw an old man he didn't know, he smiled and nodded after standing still. They were all elders anyway... and that was all.

The main goal of Luofu's walk was the pyramid in the middle of the manor. He walked for more than ten minutes before reaching the vicinity.

From a distance, the pyramid is already shocking. When you walk under the tower, you can feel even more insignificant.

Standing next to the wall, Luo Fe touched the wall. He thought it was made of stone, but judging from the feel and luster, it looked more like gold.

Considering that the Philosopher's Stone can make gold, this pile of pyramids should not be gold-plated.

Looking at the pile of gold mountains more than 30 meters high, Luo Fu was a little stunned. He couldn't help but think...how many Sniffs would it take to move it all!

The young man walked around the pyramid, looking up and admiring the words and symbols on it. The symbols on each side were different, and with his shallow knowledge, he didn't recognize them at all.

Luofu circled around and found no entrance. He thought the pyramid was sealed. When he was about to leave, an entrance suddenly appeared on a wall.

Luo Fu stood in front of the entrance and took a look inside. He just looked at it and refused to go in...

Before this thought came to an end, a huge suction force sucked Luo Fu's body in, and he immediately appeared in a hall.

There are more than a dozen deep wells in the center of the hall.

Luofu stood by a well and looked down. The well was very deep, almost more than a hundred meters. Looking down from the mouth of the well, it looked like a huge drainage outlet.

He saw clearly what was at the bottom of the well and was suddenly startled. It turned out that there were lightning and thunder from time to time at the bottom of the well, as if it was raining heavily.

Luofu looked at the second well again. This time there was a spring at the bottom of the well, but black smoke billowed out of the water.

When he was about to look at the third well, he saw a thin old man with white hair walking over slowly.

"Nico...I didn't come in on purpose." Rove explained.

"Don't be nervous, Rolf, I asked you to come in." Nico stood next to Rolf, looked at the wells, lightly stamped his feet, and said with a smile:

"Do you know what you just saw?"

Luofu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"The stuff in the first well is called primordial soup." The old man smiled and said, "Have you heard of it?"

"A hypothesis about the origin of life?" Luo Fu asked in surprise.

"Yes." Nico's eyes sparkled, and he praised: You are indeed as knowledgeable as Albus said about all kinds of Muggle things. "

"I remember this thing was proposed by Darwin, right?" Luo Fe said with some uncertainty.

"That's right, a century ago, I used the pseudonym of the Muggle botanist Joseph Hooke, and I have been corresponding with Darwin. He put forward a conjecture in his letter." Nico said softly:

“If you had a small, gentle pond with ammonia, phosphates, light, heat and electricity and all that stuff, something organic like a protein would form and then go through more complex changes, that’s how life might have emerged. "

"like this……"

Nico took out a pipe from nowhere, and suddenly started puffing away smoke. In the mist, like a screen, a strange magical picture appeared:

The volcano suddenly erupted, magma fell into the sea, and there were lightning and thunder in the sky... It was like a scene from the early days of the earth.

“Based on Darwin’s ideas, I used alchemy to seal water, methane, ammonia, hydrogen and carbon monoxide in a well to create a lightning environment... I completed the primordial soup experiment in an attempt to create life.

"But it's a pity that it failed." Nico walked towards the second well and whispered:

"What is underneath this well is acidic hydrothermal fluid that continues to erupt sulfides under the deep sea. When it meets water, it turns into black smoke. It is also a method used to create life... It is called the black smokestack theory by Muggles."

Nico restrained his smile and said: "I have lived for more than 600 years, and have been pursuing for more than 600 years... just to answer the two ultimate questions of mankind."

Rove pondered: "Where do we come from and where are we going?"

"Yes, in fact, these two questions can derive a third question..." Nico blinked and said: "The origin of magic."

"We are actually the same as Muggles, and there is no difference in body structure." The old man said with a piercing look:

"But why can some people give birth to magic, while some wizards are squibs, some Muggles can awaken magic, and some Muggles are just Muggles?"

"They are all wizards, why do some wizards awaken special talents, such as Parseltongue and Metamorphmagus, but some wizards do not have this ability?"

Rove fell into deep thought.

Nico pointed at the magic wells and said with a smile: "These are the results of my research."

Seeing that the boy was still in deep thought, the old man smiled and patted the boy's shoulder and said:

"I have been thinking for many years, but I haven't found the answers to many questions. You will have plenty of time to think in the future."

"Come on, Rolf, I will take you to see the gift I prepared for myself." Nico walked towards the stairs.

"What gift?"

"Coffin!"
