Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 1120: Inheritance (2)
That day, they spent the night with Nico and his wife. It was hard to imagine that the two old men had talked so much. Fortunately, they told the past and were not boring. They also let Albert and Isobel know a few things. If they were historians about what the wizarding world looked like a century ago, they would be very interested in the memories of the Lemays.
Unfortunately, none of them are.
Albert has no interest in history.
He is only interested in the birth of the Philosopher's Stone.
This is more because he is an alchemist.
There is not a single alchemist who is not interested in the Philosopher's Stone.
This is the lifelong pursuit of many people.
Of course, it could also be because the Philosopher's Stone can conjure gold and create elixir.
Nico agrees.
He took everyone back to April 25, 1382, the day the Philosopher's Stone was born, through the Pensieve.
"It took me 21 years to finally fully translate and master the contents of the Jewish Book of Abraham." Nico raised his finger to the parchment on the table, "The last Hebrew scholar gave me a great deal of Great help, I remember that day, I felt like I was stunned, and I kept trying to make the legendary Philosopher's Stone."
"That's the ultimate pursuit of all alchemists. When you know how to make the Philosopher's Stone, you can't help but try 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 lab, Nico is trying to use the Philosopher's Stone to get in touch with the mercury, and the Philosopher's Stone is being put into the Mercury, which does gradually turn them into gold.
Everyone saw Niko, who was in his fifties, jumping around with joy like a child, holding the Philosopher's Stone.
"I remember the day Nico came to share it with me like a child with the Philosopher's Stone." Perenal's eyes filled with nostalgia.
"Probably the same if it were me," Albert said softly.
"The Philosopher's Stone really turns mercury into gold, and gold is better than ordinary gold, softer and more malleable." Nico looked at the gold that had been turned into the Philosopher's Stone and said softly, "Later, I Find out what is not real gold, but more valuable than gold."
"Later, we tried to make other magic stones, because we found that when using magic stones to convert mercury into gold, a small part of the magic stones would be consumed, so the magic stones you see now are far better than ours. It's time to be bigger."
"Failed to reproduce the Philosopher's Stone?" Albert guessed the result.
"Yes, it failed." Nico nodded. "The magic stone we recreated cannot turn mercury into gold."
When Nico was talking, the picture in front of them became hazy, and then they found themselves in the laboratory, Nico was still in the laboratory, but looked a little older, and the surrounding environment changed, There are many redstones similar to the magic stone on the table.
"Later, when we were old, we finally chose to publish the recipe for the Philosopher's Stone to see if anyone could successfully create the Philosopher's Stone."
"The results were disappointing."
"Everyone has failed."
This is probably the reason why there are many magic stone formulas circulating in the magic world. Many people think that Nicole Lemay is fooling them with fake formulas, so they try to make magic stones by modifying the formula.
But they all failed.
While people were trying to get the real formula from Nicole Lemay, the two old men had chosen to go into seclusion and disappeared from people's presence.
The authenticity of the formula cannot be verified.
People's greed for the Philosopher's Stone has also died down with the disappearance of the Lemay couple. Many people only regard the Philosopher's Stone as a treasure in legends.
That night, Albert carefully studied the Philosopher's Stone's notebook, and recalled what he saw in the Pensieve. case.
Yes, manufacturing failed!
The notes should be written after the fact, mostly through the memories of the Pensieve, to write down the successful case of Niko making the Philosopher's Stone at the beginning, but the later manufacture of the Philosopher's Stone all failed, creating a pile of similar to the Philosopher's Stone , but has no effect on redstone.
Failure after failure, Nicole gave up research on the making of the Philosopher's Stone completely, and regarded the only Philosopher's Stone as an incredible miracle.
After repeatedly reading the Sorcerer's Stone's crafting notes, Albert did not find the Sorcerer's Stone's skill on the panel.
However, he didn't expect to be able to master the method of making the Philosopher's Stone after reading the notes.
After all, Nico can't copy the Philosopher's Stone himself. Eighty percent of the way in his notebook is missing some important factor. Otherwise, the created Philosopher's Stone can't be just a similar-looking redstone without any 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 now he has no plans to master the Philosopher's Stone in other ways.
Even if you want to successfully create a Philosopher's Stone, you will inevitably consume a lot of experience and skill points. Before Voldemort's death, Albert would not consider wasting experience and skill points on the Philosopher's Stone. The immortality of human beings is not a consideration for Albert, who is still very young, and it is not worth his waste to waste a lot of resources now.
“What did the research reveal?”
A gentle voice sounded from behind, followed by a scent, Isobel, who was wearing a thin nightdress, stretched out his arms to embrace Albert, "I thought you weren't interested in the Philosopher's Stone."
"As long as you are an alchemist, you will be interested in the Philosopher's Stone." Albert closed the note, threw it directly on the table, and patted Isobel's hand, "Nico is probably worried that I may be in the future. I will try to make a Philosopher's Stone, so I gave this notebook to me."
"Do you want to be like them too?"
"I don't know."
"No, you actually want to." Isobel put her 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 so right my dear, we can say we are in the happiest time of our lives right now." Albert smiled and carried Isobel on his back, beckoned to open the suitcase, and walked in with his feet raised.
……
The next day, after having breakfast, Albert took Isobel to find Bud, an elderly man who is currently on vacation in France.
Well, to be more precise, it should be that the United Kingdom is not safe. He ran to France to take refuge, and by the way, he helped with Albert's wedding.
It's just that Bud's way of taking refuge is a little special. He hides himself in Muggles and sunbathes on the beaches of southern France.
In a cold drink shop on the beach in the south of France, the two saw Bud, dressed in fashion and cool, and wearing sunglasses.
He looks like a cool old man on vacation.
Bud is also popular among Muggles.
When Albert passed by, he was chatting with some travelers who were also here on vacation.
"The person I'm waiting for is here, let's go first." Bud smiled and said goodbye to the friend he just met, and walked towards Albert and Isobel.
"This is indeed a good place to vacation." Albert greeted Bud with a smile.
"It's good to be among Muggles, and no one will pay much attention." Bud led Albert and Isobel to the nearby deserted place.
"Is it ready over there?" Albert asked. "It will probably be around the 13th."
"Earlier than I expected."
"Mr. Nicole's medicine is almost depleted," Albert explained.
"There are ten days left, no problem."
Bud stretched out his hand and pressed it on Albert's shoulder, apparating directly with the two of them.
The three appeared in a bush somewhere, surrounded by a large rock, which seemed to be the coordinates that were left here on purpose.
Bard leads the way and motions for the two to follow.
"It's a bit old, but I've got the house-elves to help clean it up, and while it might be a bit of a problem getting people to live in, there's no problem with having a wedding."
While speaking, Bud had already appeared near the manor with Albert.
As a matter of fact, there is no manor here, just a yellowed bush.
"Welcome to Knowles Manor~IndoMTL.com~ It's been a long time since nobody came here." Bud happily introduced the two after making sure there was no one else around.
As soon as the voice fell, the bushes in front of everyone were suddenly pushed away, and a weedy flagstone path appeared ahead. At the end of the path was an old French manor.
There is no doubt that the manor has been protected by the Faithful Charm.
When the two walked into the manor, Bud happily introduced to them: "This was originally a small vineyard, but unfortunately it was abandoned when no one lived there."
"Are there many more places like this?" Albert asked curiously.
"I don't know, this is a legacy left by someone." Bud shrugged, "It was inherited by us, but you also know that we don't need it, so this place is vacant."
"Do we have any other safe houses in France?" Albert suddenly turned his head and asked.
"Tiberius has a safe house in France," Bud said with a smile. "That's what he told me a while back, probably guessing you might need a safe house."
“My family will be returning to Europe in a while, and I need a safe house for them in France,” explained Albert.
"You can use the safe house provided by Tiberius. I've been there. It's an old villa." Bud thought for a while and then said, "However, I suggest letting them live in your suitcase, It's a big job trying to clean up somewhere."
"You can predict if it's safe for them to stay in a Muggle hotel," Isobel suggested.
"Forget it, just a few days, it's best not to let down your guard, 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.
