Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1120: Heritage (2)
Chapter 1122 Legacy (2)
That day, they chatted with Nicole and his wife all night. It was hard to imagine that the two old men actually talked so much. Fortunately, they talked about the past and it was not boring. What the wizarding world looked like a century ago, if they are historians, they will definitely be very interested in the memories of the LeMay couple.
Unfortunately, they are neither.
Albert has no interest in history.
He is only interested in the birth of the Philosopher's Stone.
This is more due to the fact that he is an alchemist.
There is no alchemist who is not interested in the Philosopher's Stone.
This is the pursuit of many people's life.
Of course, it may also be because the Philosopher's Stone can transform gold and make elixir of life.
Nicole agreed.
Through the Pensieve, he took everyone back to April 25, 1382, the day when the Philosopher's Stone was born.
"It took me 21 years to finally fully translate and master the contents of the Jewish Book of Abraham." Nico raised his finger and pointed to the parchment on the table, "The last Hebrew scholar gave me a lot Great help, I remember that day, I felt as if I was bewitched, and kept trying to make the legendary Philosopher’s Stone.”
"That is the ultimate pursuit of all alchemists. When you know how to make the Philosopher's Stone, you will definitely not be able to resist trying it."
"Indeed." Albert nodded.
"In the end, I succeeded. In fact, I don't know how I succeeded. In short, some mercury turned into gold under the influence of the Philosopher's Stone."
In the laboratory, Nicole is trying to use the Sorcerer's Stone to contact mercury. The Sorcerer's Stone is put into the mercury and gradually turns them into gold.
Everyone saw Nicole, who was in his fifties, as happy as a child, jumping around with the Philosopher's Stone.
"I remember that day, Nico came to share with me with the Philosopher's Stone like a child." Perenal's eyes were full of nostalgia.
"If it were me, it would probably be the same." Albert said softly.
"The Philosopher's Stone really turned mercury into gold, and gold is better than ordinary gold, softer and more malleable." Nicol looked at the gold transformed by the Philosopher's Stone, and said softly, "Later, I Discover what is not real gold, but is more valuable than gold.”
"Later, we tried to make other Philosopher's Stones, because we found that using the Philosopher's Stone to convert mercury into gold would consume a small part of the Philosopher's Stone, so the Philosopher's Stone you see now is far more powerful than ours. Time to be bigger."
"The re-engraving of the Philosopher's Stone failed?" Albert guessed the result.
"Yes, it failed." Nico nodded and said, "The Sorcerer's Stone we recreated cannot turn mercury into gold."
When Nico spoke, the picture in front of them became hazy, and then they found themselves in the laboratory. Nico was still in the laboratory, but he looked older, and the surrounding environment also changed. There are many redstones similar to the Philosopher's Stone on the table.
"Later, when we were old, we finally chose to announce the manufacturing formula of the Philosopher's Stone, to see if anyone could successfully manufacture the Philosopher's Stone."
"It turned out to be disappointing."
"Everyone fails."
This is probably the reason why there are so many formulas for the Philosopher's Stone in the magic world. Many people think that Nicole Flamel is fooling them with a fake formula, so they try to make the Philosopher's Stone by modifying the formula.
But they all failed.
When people tried to obtain the real formula from Nicole Flamel, those two elderly people had chosen to live in seclusion and disappeared from people's eyes.
The authenticity of the formula cannot be verified.
People's greed for the Philosopher's Stone has also disappeared with the disappearance of the LeMays. Many people only regard the Philosopher's Stone as a treasure in legends.
That night, Albert carefully studied the Philosopher's Stone's notes, and by the way recalled what he saw in the Pensieve. This notebook did record in detail the manufacture of the Philosopher's Stone, or the failure to manufacture the Philosopher's Stone in detail. case.
That's right, manufacturing failed!
The notes should have been written after the event, more from the memories of the Pensieve, and wrote down the case of Niko's success in making the Sorcerer's Stone at the beginning, but the subsequent manufacturing of the Sorcerer's Stone failed. , but has no effect on redstone.
Failed again and again, let Nico completely give up research on the manufacture of the Sorcerer's Stone, and regard the only Sorcerer's Stone as an incredible miracle.
After repeatedly reading the manufacturing notes of the Philosopher's Stone, Albert did not find the Philosopher's Stone's skill on the panel.
However, he didn't expect to be able to master the manufacturing method of the Philosopher's Stone after reading the notes.
After all, Niko couldn't copy the Sorcerer's Stone himself, and the method in the notes probably lacked some important factor, otherwise the Sorcerer's Stone could not be just a similar-looking red stone, but it would have no effect.
If the manufacturing method of the Philosopher's Stone really appeared on the skill panel, Albert might be able to know the principle of the Philosopher's Stone, but he does not plan to master the Philosopher's Stone in other ways now.
Even if you want to successfully create the Sorcerer's Stone, you will inevitably consume a lot of experience and skill points. Before Voldemort died, Albert would not consider wasting experience and skill points on the Sorcerer's Stone. Immortality is out of consideration for Albert, who is still very young, and it is not worth wasting a lot of resources now.
"Did you find anything?"
A gentle voice sounded from behind, followed by a scent. Isobel, who was wearing a thin nightgown, reached out and hugged Albert, "I thought you were not interested in the Philosopher's Stone."
"As long as you are an alchemist, you will be interested in the Philosopher's Stone." Albert closed his notebook, threw it on the table, and patted Isobel's hand, "Niko is probably worried that I may I will try to make the Philosopher’s Stone, so give me this notebook.”
"Do you want to be like them too?"
"Don't know."
"No, you actually want to." Isobel stuck his body on it, "That kind of life is actually not bad. However, I think Mrs. Perenal is right, we should seize the moment."
"You're right my dear, we can be said to be in the happiest time in our lives." Albert smiled and carried Isobel on his back, beckoned to open the suitcase, and walked in.
…
The next day, after Albert had breakfast, he took Isobel to find Bud. This elderly man is currently on vacation in France.
Well, to be more precise, it should be that the UK is not safe. He ran to France to take refuge and help Albert's wedding by the way.
It's just that Bud's way of refuge is a bit special. He hides himself in a Muggle and enjoys sunbathing on the beach in the south of France.
The two saw Bud wearing fashionable and cool clothes and sunglasses in a cold drink shop by the beach in southern France.
He looks like a cool old man on vacation.
Bard is also popular among Muggles.
When Albert passed by, he was chatting with some travelers who also came here for vacation.
"The person I'm waiting for is here, let's go first." Bud smiled and said goodbye to the friends he had just met, and walked towards Albert and Isobel.
"This is indeed a good place for vacation." Albert greeted Bud with a smile.
"It's good to mix with Muggles, and no one will pay special attention to it." Bud led Albert and Isobel towards a nearby place where there was no one.
"Is it ready over there?" Albert asked, "It will probably be on the 13th."
"It's earlier than I expected."
"Mr. Nicole's medicine is almost exhausted." Albert explained.
"There are still ten days, no problem."
Bad reached out and pressed Albert's shoulder, directly leading the two of them to Apparate.
The three of them appeared in a bush somewhere, surrounded by a large rock, which seemed to be the coordinates left here on purpose.
Bud leads the way ahead and motions for the two to follow.
"It's kind of old, but I've had the house-elves clean it up, and while it might be a bit of a problem trying to get people in, it's certainly fine for a wedding."
While speaking, Bud had already appeared near the manor with Albert.
In fact, there is no manor here, only a yellow bush.
"Welcome to Knowles Manor, no one has been here for a long time." Bud happily introduced to the two after confirming that there was no one else around.
As soon as the words fell, the bushes in front of everyone suddenly pushed away, and a stone path covered with weeds appeared in front of them. At the end of the path was an old French manor.
There is no doubt that this manor has been protected by the Fidelity Charm.
When the two walked into the manor, Bud happily introduced to them: "This was originally a small vineyard, but it's a pity that no one lives there and it was abandoned."
"Are there many places like this?" Albert asked curiously.
"I don't know, this is a legacy left by someone." Bud shrugged and said, "It was inherited by us, but you also know ~IndoMTL.com~ we don't need it, so this place is vacant Already."
"Do we have other safe houses in France?" Albert suddenly turned his head and asked.
"Tiberus has a safe house in France." Bud said with a smile, "That's what he told me a while ago, and he probably guessed that you might need to use the safe house."
"My family will return to Europe after a while, and I need to prepare a safe house for them in France." Albert explained.
"You can use the safe house provided by Tiberus. I have been there before, and it is an old villa." Bud thought for a while and said, "However, I suggest letting them live in your suitcase, It's a big project to clean it up thoroughly."
"You can make a prediction first to see if it's safe for them to stay in a Muggle hotel." Isobel suggested.
"Forget it, it's just a few days, it's best not to relax your vigilance, and they will also go to Knowles Manor to help with the final preparations." Albert finally rejected Isobel's proposal, he really didn't want to take risks, That makes no sense.
Something happened today.
