Views:

Nicole Flamel paused, carefully observing the expression on Ivan's face, and then said softly, 13 I saw death inside! "

"Death?!" Ivan said in surprise.

"Yes!" Seeing the astonished expression on Ivan's face, LeMay couldn't help but smile, "This must be accurate, isn't it?! This stone basin has done an effective divination, which proves its accuracy. You know, after talking to Albus two years ago, I have destroyed the Philosopher's Stone, so that I can avoid the prying eyes of some people with ulterior motives. But it also means that I can no longer make the elixir of life Sustain life."

Even though Aiwen was still a little worried about the sneaky man he saw in the phantom of the stone basin just now, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy when he heard the other party's words.

He didn't know what to say, not sure if he should comfort Flamel.

"Okay, kid! Don't show such an expression, it's not a big deal." LeMay continued in a relaxed tone, "Death is a relief for us, and my wife Perenal and I are ready To taste the taste of death."

"But"

"I know, it seems unbelievable to a young person like you. But for us, death is actually like going to bed after a long day." Flamel waved his hand, He signaled Aiwen not to care, "Also, you must have heard Albus say that for a wizard with a very clear mind, death is just another great adventure. Remember, this is far from the end."

In the empty corridor, only Flamel's deep and old voice echoed.

He seemed to be hinting at something, but Ivan couldn't understand it.

Although I have seen descriptions of death in many magic books before, they are all vague.

In those ancient theories that have been lost, many wizards believe that death does not simply mean the end of life, but the beginning of a new reincarnation.

This has surpassed life itself, and has become another mysterious classification of magic.

Only truly powerful wizards are qualified to explore it.

Ordinary people will only use all methods to prolong life and avoid death.

Although not much is known, if this is really a kind of magic, then there must be some secret hidden in it.

Aiwen didn't think it was as simple as closing his eyes and facing it calmly when death came.

Clearly, Flamel knew something.

But before he could ask, Flamel blinked and continued, "I know what you want to ask, but now is not the time to tell you. My child, when your life is about to come to an end, you You will understand the meaning of what I said today."

Lemay looked at Ivan carefully, with a smile on his lips, looking at the doubts on his face.

"I don't know how long that day will last, it all depends on your own choice." Lemay's eyes slowly descended and landed on the locket hanging on Aiwen's chest, "Compared with others, you still There is another option. You also have a Philosopher's Stone, as I did before, which means that however much wealth and life you desire, you can get it."

"I can't do this one!" Ivan said dejectedly, "It originally belonged to Godric Gryffindor, and Gryffindor remodeled this Sorcerer's Stone thousands of years ago. Besides, there is no other use."

He opened the locket and took out the Philosopher's Stone.

Irregular red stones glowed softly in his hands.

"I don't think so. If you know a little bit about alchemy, you will know that touchstones and making elixirs are just one way of using magic in the Philosopher's Stone. The key is the Philosopher's Stone itself, which is the foundation .As long as there is this Sorcerer's Stone, everything is possible." LeMay bent down and carefully observed the Sorcerer's Stone in Ivan's hand, "This Sorcerer's Stone has a lot of power, much stronger than the one I had before .”

He didn't take the Philosopher's Stone from Aiwen's hand, but kept this posture and observed it for five minutes before slowly raising his head.

"Although I don't know much about curses, there is no doubt that the power in this Sorcerer's Stone is very pure and powerful, far beyond my imagination." Lemay stared at Ai Wen and said softly, "Crack the magic stone." The curse on you is not a problem, in fact, as long as you master the method, no matter what you want, it will help you achieve it."

"What should I do?" Ivan asked subconsciously.

"This involves very profound alchemy knowledge and related theories, which is too far away for you." LeMay said with a smile, "What you need to do now is to restore this broken magic stone and find the other half as soon as possible." .”

Aiwen put away the Philosopher's Stone. As for the other half of the pieces, he only knew that they were taken away by the fallen centaur during the war eight hundred years ago.

He didn't know where the other party was hiding now, and he didn't have any clues.

But judging from what Sirius said before, Dumbledore should already know, and he can't hide anything from him, as long as he looks for it.

"Although what I'm going to say next may not be appropriate, you have to know that the Philosopher's Stone is not such a wonderful thing." LeMay's expression suddenly became serious, and he warned Ivan, "Have it, you see It seems to have gained everything, but actually lost more. This is also in line with the most basic principle of alchemy, the conversion between all substances is conserved, and it took me more than six hundred years to understand this truth."

Ivan blinked, but he didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

Like Dumbledore, LeMay always likes to say half and half, all his warnings are to the end, and let Ivan think about the rest.

This may be an admirable way of teaching, but it is undoubtedly enough to drive people crazy.

"Using the Philosopher's Stone, you will get endless wealth and lifespan, but at the same time you have to be prepared to give up more." LeMay looked at Ivan and said slowly, "As a pioneer, if you ask for my opinion , then I’ll tell you that these seemingly important things don’t actually do any good.”

"I do not understand"

"When you understand, you can face death calmly!" Flame took a breath for a while before continuing, "Today is the first time we met, but no accident, this should be the last time we meet."

Aiwen looked up at the old wizard, the light in his eyes was slowly dissipating.

At this moment, he is like an old man who is about to die, life is passing from his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

LeMay waved his hand, interrupted Ivan's question, and motioned him to continue listening, "The moment I destroyed the Sorcerer's Stone, I was ready to face death. But because there is one thing that I can't worry about, I haven't Action. Seeing you today, I can finally"(.)
