No matter how Gryffindor tried to persuade him, Rolf firmly refused to go with him to the North Sea to explore the mysterious island.
Gryffindor is strong and does not worry about all kinds of dangers, but Rolf is different. He just wants to go home now, instead of going on adventures with the Big Four a thousand years ago.
When it’s time to be steady, you still have to be steady and don’t be too arrogant!
Therefore, after returning to Hogwarts, Rolf immediately handed the Stone of Destiny to Hufflepuff and asked her to help brew the elixir of youth!
Standing in a large classroom, Luo Fu looked at the ten crucibles and said curiously:
"Professor Hufflepuff, who are you brewing so much elixir of youth for?"
Hufflepuff waved her wand, and ten magical materials flew into the crucible. She turned her head and said:
"Of course I'll drink it for you."
"Give me a drink?!"
Luo Fu was a little shocked. He stuck his head into the crucible. The huge volume could hold at least fifty liters of water, and ten crucibles were equivalent to five hundred liters of water.
He has to drink until the year of the monkey!
"The Elixir of Youth is also effective. Don't you think that taking one sip will keep you young forever?" Hufflepuff patted the cauldron and said with a smile:
"You have to maintain your youth for a thousand years, so of course you will need a lot of medicine at one time."
Luofu swallowed, and he remembered that Nico had to drink the elixir from the Philosopher's Stone all the time...but was it too much?
"Don't take it too much." Hufflepuff picked up the Stone of Destiny, patted it gently like a watermelon and said:
"You should be lucky that this stone is big enough... The elixir of youth brewed in a crucible is only enough to keep you young for a hundred years, but it requires a stone of destiny half the size of a fist.
No matter how small this stone is, it may not be enough for you to use alone."
"Then be careful when brewing." Luo Fu said quickly: "Don't fail to brew and waste my stone of destiny... I won't listen to you."
"Ouch, are you starting to rely on me now?" Hufflepuff said with a smile:
"Don't forget, you still owe me a lot of debt, with interest!"
"How can I rely on you?" Luofu said with a smile: "By the way, how many days are you going to cook this?"
"At least half a month." Hufflepuff picked up a knife, chopped up the Stone of Destiny, and asked curiously: "Why, do you have other things to do?"
Luofu hummed and said, "I need to go to Albania."
Hufflepuff did not ask the boy about his purpose, but just expressed concern:
"How do you get there? It's not as good as the Kingdom of Nadia. It can't be reached in a few days' journey."
"I was thinking about it too." Rolf looked at Hufflepuff for help.
Albania is in the Balkan Peninsula, more than 100,000 miles away from Hogwarts. There is no Oriental Train in this era, and Rolf will not apparate. It may take several months to go back and forth.
By the time he arrived in the Albanian forest, Helena's body had either been eaten by wild beasts or was probably smelly.
Hufflepuff thought for a moment and suggested, "You can borrow Godric's door key."
"He traveled to Greece during this period and set up many door keys along the way for future travel.
When he passed through Albania, he should have left the door key."
"Okay, I'll go find Professor Gryffindor." After thanking him, Rolf turned around and ran away.
Hufflepuff pursed her lips and smiled, then continued to help the boy brew the potion.

Deep in the forest.
Helena, who had fallen asleep at some point, suddenly woke up. She sat up, shook her head, and touched the corners of her tear-filled eyes.
She had just had a dream, dreaming that she was wearing her mother's crown, but the crown suddenly shrank and she couldn't take it off.
She went to beg her mother to save her, but was asked why she wanted to steal the crown.
Fortunately, it was a dream, but this nightmare was a bit too strange and disturbing.
Helena's hands and feet were cold. She stood up, walked out of the newly built cabin, and looked into the distance.
She has lived here for two days, but she is still not used to the environment here:礭
There are trees all around, extremely vast and intertwined with roots, casting thousands of dark green shadows, and the branches and leaves make a rustling sound when the early wind blows.
In Helena's ears, those sounds seemed like...crying.
Helena wanted to cry right now.
She missed the warm Ravenclaw lounge, the delicious food of Hufflepuff, the funny jokes of Gryffindor, and the hot springs she often went to... She wanted to go back to Hogwarts!
But Helena won't go back. She wants to become smarter and become as smart as her mother. She doesn't want to be laughed at by other students behind her back as...a stupid beauty!
Helena stood there for a long time. As the sun disappeared behind the jagged mountains, shadows crawled into the forest, and everything was dim. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt uneasy.
So, Helena curled up her knees and hugged her chest tightly. She let herself close her eyes and sleep for a while, trying not to think about Hogwarts.
Then...she heard a sound.
Helena immediately opened her eyes, picked up her wand, held her breath, and listened carefully.
She heard the rustling of leaves rubbing against each other and the whistling of the wind, but what caught her attention was another sound...the sound of footsteps!
Someone is coming here!!
Helena's hair stood on end. She was deep in the Albanian forest, where there was usually no trace of anyone.
Could it be that his mother came to find him?
Helena saw a figure squeezing out of the woods. She picked up the crown, turned around and ran towards the depths of the jungle.
The wizard stopped and lifted his hood, revealing...Rolf's handsome face.
He stared blankly at Helena's back, wondering if he had come early.
Where's Barrow?!
Helena didn't see clearly who the person was, and just ran with all her strength in the dark woods. The roots of the trees grabbed her feet, and the dead branches slapped her face, leaving long and thin strips of scarlet blood between her cheeks.
She didn't realize it and stumbled forward.
But it had rained last night and the ground was wet and muddy, making it easy to slip. She was caught off guard and fell to the ground, and the crown in her hand flew far away.
Helena gritted her teeth angrily, hooked on a tree root, stood up reluctantly, then limped forward and picked up the crown.
She decided not to run away anymore, and after looking around, she found a hollow tree with intricate roots and a surface covered with thick moss.
Helena thought for a while, then hid the crown inside, and stuffed in a lot of leaves for cover.
After completing all this, Helena suddenly heard the rustling of leaves. She immediately turned her head to look, but was stunned.
This time she finally saw clearly the face of the visitor.
"Barrow?!"
Barrow smiled and held a shining dagger in his hand. His eyes flashed red and he said in a hoarse voice:
"It's me, Helena...I'm here under the orders of Professor Ravenclaw...to take you back!"
