After leaving Beauxbatons School of Magic, Albert did not return to England directly by ship. Instead, he took Inzebelle back to the house left to them by the Flamel couple and began to search every corner of the house carefully.
Yin Zebeier looked at Albert who was rummaging through the boxes and asked in confusion: "What are you looking for?"
"Looking for something Mr. Nico left for us."
Albert searched Nico's study, but unfortunately he didn't find what he wanted. Although there were still many valuable books in the study, the most valuable notes and manuscripts were already in his possession.
"You mean... Mr. Nico doesn't want Dumbledore to know?" Yin Zebel was very surprised, and then shook his head and said, "If Mr. Nico really wanted to leave something for you, he would have given it to you before. It is impossible for him to keep it for you now."
"Who knows? Maybe they don't want Dumbledore to know. Even best friends won't tell each other all their secrets." Albert ran to the dormitory and looked around again, but still couldn't find what he was looking for.
Yin Zebeier leaned against the door frame of the dormitory, looked at Albert who was busy inside and asked, "Are you so sure that Mr. Nico will leave something for you?"
"Well, if I lived for hundreds of years..." Albert waved his wand and restored the messy room to its original state, "I would do the same..."
"Don't ask me to guess riddles."
"In short, Mr. Nico left the knowledge to me because he knew I had enough money and wanted knowledge." Albert thought for a moment and said, "If you have to say it, just treat it as intuition."
“Really.”
Yin Zebel walked over and rubbed Albert's cheek in protest.
"Do you want to keep looking?"
"Of course I continue. I feel like I've overlooked something."
"Is it because Nico left this house to us alone that you suspect something might be hidden here?" Yin Zebel expressed his guess.
"Yes, this is indeed one of the reasons." Albert returned to the study and his eyes fell on the crystal ball on the table. "However, this place is protected by the Fidelius Charm. Even if it is donated, the value is actually not that great. We can't always trouble Dumbledore."
Any wizard who wants to enter here needs Dumbledore to "leak the secret", which is obviously a troublesome thing.
"Of course, leaving this place to us is actually also meant to serve as a safe house for us."
"It's really puzzling. How do you plan to find that thing? Through divination?"
Yin Zebel saw Albert staring at the crystal ball and suddenly realized something.
"Well!" Albert said a little depressed, "When I first thought of the crystal ball divination, I felt that what I did just now was a bit stupid."
"Okay, don't be depressed." Yin Zebel touched Albert's head and comforted him, "You just didn't react for a moment."
"No, actually I have already guessed where it is."
As he spoke, Albert took out the photo frame he had just taken away, looked at the Flamel couple smiling at him in the frame, opened the frame from behind, and indeed found what the Flamel couple had left for him.
A hand-painted parchment map and a gold Ouroboros ring.
Yin Zebel opened his mouth slightly, not expecting that Albert had guessed it right.
There is a passage behind the sheepskin map:
Dear Albert, you will probably need it when you want to make the Philosopher's Stone.
I saw in the prophecy that you took the frame, so we decided to put it in the frame.
The location on the map is an alchemy workshop. We have left it to you. All the information and manufacturing tools of the Philosopher's Stone are there. There are also many ideas that we have not been able to realize. Perhaps you will be interested in them. It will be a happy thing if you can perfect them one by one one day.
Don't tell Dumbledore he doesn't like the Philosopher's Stone.
— Nicolas Flamel
"Is this what you were looking for?"
Yin Zebel took the rough gold ring, which was the Ouroboros symbol of alchemy.
"Actually, I don't know what I'll find." Albert reread the contents of the letter.
"Don't they already have a Philosopher's Stone? Why do they want to create more?" Yin Zebel couldn't understand Nico's actions.
"They probably need the Philosopher's Stone to make gold." Albert frowned as he looked at the information on the parchment. "The Philosopher's Stone will be gradually consumed in the process of making this magical gold, so they try to make more Philosopher's Stones in order to obtain this more precious gold. The gold ring in your hand is probably of astonishing value. By the way, that ring should be the key to open the alchemy workshop."
"Actually, I'm more curious about how you knew that." Yin Zebel handed the Ouroboros ring back to Albert.
"It's just a guess. Sometimes you don't need evidence." Albert sealed the ring and map back into the photo frame and left with Yin Zebel.
"I thought you would rush to find the alchemy workshop in the letter." Yin Zebel was a little surprised at Albert's calmness, as if the person who was rummaging through the boxes just now was not him.
"Let's talk about it when we have time. That thing is of no use to us right now. And even if we want to recreate the Philosopher's Stone, it may not be that easy." Albert knew very well what the focus was now.
"Why do you think Dumbledore doesn't like the Philosopher's Stone?" After returning to the ship, Yin Zebel asked the question in his heart.
"Because immortality and money are not what Dumbledore desires." Albert said lightly, "I think in Dumbledore's eyes, the Philosopher's Stone is probably the source of disaster."
"People will scramble for the Philosopher's Stone like crazy?" Yin Zebel thought of the reason.
"Yes, many people spend their entire lives pursuing longevity and money." Albert said softly, "If they knew about the existence of the Philosopher's Stone, they would probably fight for it like crazy. In fact, there have been similar cases in history, but the one they fought for was not the Philosopher's Stone, but a powerful magic wand that was said to be invincible."
"What about you?" Yin Zebel asked back.
"I never longed for immortality. It is a terrible curse." Albert said to Inzebel calmly, "The greatest significance of the Philosopher's Stone to me is that it allows us to die when we want to, just like Nico and Perenelle, who calmly welcomed death."
"In fact, it's not bad to grow old together and die together like Nico and Perenelle did."
Yin Zebel sat next to Albert, leaned her head gently on his shoulder, and looked at the sea horizon in the distance together.
"Let's go back!"
"Well, go home!"
Under Albert's control, the sailboat left French waters and headed towards Britain.
