Chapter 1122： Legacy (2)

Chapter 1122 Legacy (2)

That day, they chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Nico until the night. It was hard to imagine that the two old people actually talked so much. Fortunately, they talked about the past and were not boring. They also allowed Albert and Isobel to understand the events of centuries ago. What is the wizarding world like? If they are historians, they will definitely be interested in the memories of the Flamel couple.

 Sadly, they are neither.

 Albert had no interest in history.

 He was 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 lifelong pursuit of many people.

Of course, it may also be because the magic stone can conjure gold and create elixirs of life.

Nico agreed.

 Through the Pensieve, he took everyone back to April 25, 1382, the day the Philosopher's Stone was born.

"It took me 21 years to finally completely 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 of help. , I remember that day, I felt like I was possessed by a demon, and I kept trying to create the legendary magic stone."

“That is the ultimate pursuit of all alchemists. When you know how to make the magic stone, you will definitely not be able to 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 magic stone.”

 In the laboratory, Nico is trying to use the magic stone to contact mercury. When the magic stone is put into the mercury, it does gradually turn them into gold.

When everyone saw Nico, who was already in his fifties, he was as happy as a child, jumping around with the magic stone.

“I remember that day, Nico came to share the magic stone with me like a child.” Perenal’s eyes were full of nostalgia.

"If it were me, it would probably be the same." Albert said softly.

"The Sorcerer's Stone really turned mercury into gold, and gold is better than ordinary gold, softer and more malleable." Nico looked at the gold turned by the Sorcerer's Stone and said softly, "Later, I discovered that those were not Real gold is more valuable than gold.”

"Later, we tried to make other magic stones, because we found that using the magic stone to convert mercury into gold would consume a small part of the magic stone, so the magic stones you see now are much larger than what we had back then. Some."

“The restoration of the Philosopher’s Stone failed?” Albert guessed the result.

"Yes, it failed." Nico nodded, "The magic 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 red stones similar to the magic stone.

“Later, when we were old, we finally decided to publish the formula for making the magic stone to see if anyone could successfully create the magic stone.”

 “The results were disappointing.”

 “Everyone failed.”

This is probably why there are many magic stone formulas circulating in the magic world. Many people think that Nico Flamel is deceiving them with a fake formula, so they try to create a magic stone by modifying the formula.

 But they all failed.

　　While people were trying to get the real formula from Nico Flamel, the two old men 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 also disappeared with the disappearance of the Flamel couple. Many people only regard the Philosopher's Stone as a treasure in legends.

That night, Albert carefully studied the notes on the Philosopher's Stone, and recalled what he saw in the pensieve. This notebook indeed recorded in detail the manufacture of the Philosopher's Stone, or in other words, the failure to make the Philosopher's Stone.

 That’s right, the manufacturing failed!

The notes were probably written afterward, more from the memories of the Pensieve. They wrote down the case where Nico succeeded in making the Philosopher's Stone, but later failed to make the Philosopher's Stone. Redstone has no effect.

Failure after failure made Nico completely give up on researching the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, and regarded the only Philosopher's Stone as an incredible miracle.

After repeatedly reading the manufacturing notes of the magic stone, Albert did not find the skill of the magic stone on the panel.

However, he did not expect to be able to master the method of making the magic stone after reading the notes.

  After all, Nico himself could not copy the magic stone. The method in the notes was probably missing some important factor, otherwise the magic stone produced would not be just a red stone with a similar appearance, but without any effect.

If the method of making the magic stone really appears on the skill panel, Albert might be able to know the principle of the magic stone, but he has no intention of mastering the magic stone through other means now.

Even if you want to successfully create the 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 elixir of life will only make people immortal after all. , for the still very young Albert, it is not within the scope of consideration at all, and it is not worthy of him to waste a lot of resources now.

 “Have you found anything in your research?”

　　A gentle voice sounded from behind, and then a scent of fragrance came. Isobel, who was wearing a thin nightgown, put her arms around Albert, "I originally thought you were not interested in the Sorcerer's Stone."

"As long as you are an alchemist, you will be interested in the Sorcerer's Stone." Albert closed the note, threw it directly on the table, and patted Isobel's hand, "Nico is probably worried that I might try it in the future. To create the magic stone, that’s why you gave me this notebook.”

“Do you want to be like them?”

"have no idea."

"No, you actually want to." Isobel pressed her body against hers. "That kind of life is actually not bad. However, I think Mrs. Perenal is right. We should seize the moment."

"You are right, dear, we can say that we are in the happiest time of our lives now." Albert smiled, carried Isobel on his back, waved to open the suitcase, and walked in.

 …

 The next day, after Albert had breakfast, he took Isobel to find Bud. The old man was currently on vacation in France.

Well, to be more precise, it should be that Britain was no longer safe, so he ran to France to take refuge and help take care of Albert's wedding.

It’s just that Bard’s way of taking refuge was a bit special. He hid himself among Muggles and sunbathed on the beach in southern France.

 The two of them were in a cold drink shop on the beach in southern France. They saw Bud, who was wearing fashionable and cool clothes and sunglasses.

The other person looks like a cool old man on vacation.

Bard is also very popular among Muggles.

 When Albert passed by, he was chatting with some travelers who were also here for vacation.

“The person I was waiting for is here, let’s go first.” Bud smiled and said goodbye to his friend whom he had just met, and walked towards Albert and Isobel.

“This is indeed a good place for vacation.” Albert smiled and greeted Bud.

“It’s good to be among Muggles, and no one will pay special attention to it.” Bard led Albert and Isobel towards a deserted place nearby.

"Is it ready over there?" Albert asked, "It will be around the 13th."

“Sooner than I expected.”

“Mr. Nico’s medicine is almost exhausted.” Albert explained.

 “There are still about ten days, no problem.”

Bard reached out and put his hand on Albert's shoulder, and directly led the two of them to apparate.

　　Three people appeared in a bush somewhere, surrounded by a large stone, which seemed to be the coordinates left here intentionally.

Bard led the way and motioned for the two of them to follow.

"It's a bit old, but I've asked the house elves to help clean it up. It might be a problem to have people in it, but it's certainly fine to host a wedding."

While speaking, Bud had already appeared near the manor with Albert.

 In fact, there is no manor here, just a withered yellow bush.

“Welcome to Knowles Manor, no one has been here for a long time.” Bud happily introduced the two of them after making sure there was no one else around.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bushes in front of everyone suddenly pushed aside, 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 the manor has been protected by the Charm of Fidelity.

When the two of them walked into the manor, Bud happily introduced them: "This was originally a small vineyard, but it was a pity that it was abandoned without anyone living in it."

 “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 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.

"Tiberus has a safe house in France." Bud said with a smile, "That's what he told me a while ago. He probably guessed that you might need to use the safe house."

“My family will return to Europe soon, and I need to prepare a safe house for them in France.” Albert explained.

"You can use the safe house provided by Tibelus. I've been there. It's an old villa." Bud thought for a while and then said, "However, I suggest you let them keep your suitcase. Cleaning it up thoroughly is a big project."

“You can make a prediction first to see if it is safe for them to stay in a Muggle hotel.” Isobel suggested.

"Forget it, it's just a few days. It's best not to let your guard down, and they will also go to Knowles Manor to help make final preparations." Albert finally rejected Isobel's proposal. He really didn't want to take the risk. significance.

   Something happened today.
