Chapter 416

Nicolas Flamel, or Nicole lemme according to different translation habits, is a typical French old man. From the appearance, he is in his seventies. His hair is black, but his moustache is white. Deep wrinkles were carved on his face, especially the crow's-feet at the corners of his eyes, which curved slightly upward, making him look like he was always smiling.

He appeared in front of everyone in a wheelchair, but his body was not disabled, and he was even healthier than most people. Zhao Mai can judge his general physical condition from the changes of his body's natural force. If he closes his eyes and doesn't look at his appearance, Nikolay Flamel's characteristics are like a man in his forties.

The wheelchair doesn't need to be pushed. Two slender stone arms stretch out from the back of the chair and grasp the wheel to generate power and control direction. Under the old man's command, the wheelchair stopped by the warm stove, and then the stone arm pulled the wool blanket from the side and covered his knee. He met two "admirers" in the living room, along with Barbara, her father and grandfather. As the youngest, Barbara played the role of servant, served tea for everyone, and then sat aside, maintaining a rare lady like quiet.

"Dumbledore came to the study." Grindevo approached Zhao Mai, almost biting his ear. "I think you may have lowered their expectations."

"Are you sure it's me, not you?"

"Of course, I'm more famous in Europe than you are." Grindevo smiles confidently.

Zhao Mai shakes his head and doesn't talk about it any more. After Barbara's reminder, Zhao Mai spent three days looking for the protection array of the manor and found some clues. In the big house, there are many magic charms with transmission characteristics, hidden in portraits, statues, tapestries and ceiling decorations. As long as you are aware of the offensive magic, you will launch the teleportation. You don't know where you will throw people. Considering the working mode of the general protection type boundary, it is likely that the attacker will be sent away. After reading grindwall's label, Zhao Mai was sure that he had known the magic protection ability of Leme manor for a long time, so he was confident, and he was as enthusiastic as ever to Zhao Mai, even didn't do anything to guard against him.

"They are both young and talented people who can write about history in the future." Nikolay flamell, with a gentle voice and a beautiful tone, began to praise them. "I've been lucky enough to live for many years. I have some insight, but I'm not as smart as you. Since you come to me, you must have some questions to ask me, and it's always about the Sorcerer's stone. "

At this point, he stopped and looked at them with his eyes deep behind the hook nose. The meaning of that look is very obvious. Let the young people ask questions. The Sorcerer's stone is Flamel's proud creation, the peak of alchemy, not something to enlighten young mages. The old people will answer the questions according to the level of the young people.

"Are you sure you made the Sorcerer's stone out of thin air, without any reference or past experience?" Grindworth asked directly, "why do the resurrection stone and the Sorcerer's stone exist in the form of stone?"

"It seems that you are also one of the people who are looking for the holy instrument. You think I may have the resurrection stone." Old flamell shook his head: "I'm sorry, I've always wanted to see the resurrection stone, but I haven't had the honor. Before I made the Sorcerer's stone, I had a strange dream. In my dream, I went through a black passage full of stars to a place where the ground was covered with clouds. I see houses of gold, flowers of gems and rivers of mercury. An angel with holy light enlightens me and gives me a book with many alchemy formulas. I'm not so talented. I didn't create the magic stone out of thin air, but after 25 years of hard work, I managed to finish some of the experiments in the book, a red magic stone. The only thing I'm proud of is that I was able to finish all the alchemy of the Sorcerer's stone before I died, which saved my life. "

With that, the old man turned his eyes to Zhao Mai, indicating that it was his turn to ask questions. Zhao Chao looked at him. Grindevo looked disappointed, but also relieved. He could only guess that grindevo's target was the resurrection stone, never the Sorcerer's stone. "I don't need immortality. What I want to accomplish will be finished before the end of my life, and the rest of my life is a waste of time." Grindevo smile, seems to see through Zhao Mai's mind, so he said: "I need to get knowledge from former people, to make up for some lost curse. The Sorcerer's stone doesn't mean much to me. The resurrection stone does. Since Mr. flamell does not know the whereabouts of the resurrection stone, I have no problem. The rest of the time is yours

He got up and was ready to leave the room. Zhao Mai stopped him: "are you going to leave now? There's still something unresolved between you and me. "

"Do you still insist like this?" Grindevo nodded, shook his hair a little and said, "I'll wait for you outside the main entrance of the manor."

"Oh, you can't leave yet." Old Mr. flamell said, "I live because of the Sorcerer's stone, but also because of this thing, I am often harassed and annoyed. So now the outside is full of powerful charms to protect me. You can't leave this room until I get back to the castle safely. ""In that case, I'll stay." Grindevo nodded and went back to his seat.

"I have two questions: why is there only one magic stone? Can't it be made repeatedly? Another question is, what is the way to make immortality medicine from the Sorcerer's stone? "

After listening to Zhao Mai's words, Flamel began to laugh and his voice grew louder and louder. "Two years ago, Dumbledore asked me the first question, and you were the second to ask it. Alchemy wants to change matter, but its most basic core is exchange. Energy for energy, matter for matter, equality. The only way for alchemists to take advantage is to exchange ownership that does not belong to them. I can trade the soil I grab for coal, but I can't make coal out of thin air. "

"But making a sorcerer's stone can't be so tricky. Only the dead will not die, so you need to kill yourself to make a magic stone. " Flamel said amazingly: "nature repels the immortal, but I live well all the time because I am dead in the eyes of nature. It took me most of my life to understand a fact. Nature has a lot of knowledge to learn, but nature itself has no will, only rules, and can be deceived and fooled. I'm dead, so I have the Sorcerer's stone. And through the medium of the Sorcerer's stone, I can exchange my extra life for my next life, so I will live forever. "

"As for your second question, without the Sorcerer's stone, the formula is useless. Why do you need to know?"
