"... Hermetic school?"
Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Annan frowned slightly.
He remembered the name.
—[Hermes Sect Philosopher's Stone].
This is the full name of the Philosopher's Stone that Annan injected before.
So Annan asked nonchalantly: "What is that
"Are they spreading some forbidden knowledge?"
Hearing this, Salvatore on the side also raised his ears and listened intently.
Because he also remembered... This name was mentioned in the notes left by Benjamin.
Unlike Cafney.
Albert, who is an ordinary person, does not have the ability to perceive the tension of Annan and Salvatore, two extraordinary people.
"That's not true."
He just shrugged and said casually: "Actually, it's just a wandering wizard and his followers. They formed an organization similar to an archaeological association and a bit like a philosophical school. But there are not many extraordinary people in it." …so we didn’t really care.
"But when that wizard met Cafney for the first time, he praised her for her outstanding talent."
After His Royal Highness Albert said this, he glanced at Cafney.
Seeing that Cafney was silent and turned her head away slightly without saying anything, Albert touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "But after he left, Cafney suddenly said... He's a demon."
"I'm just saying that his soul is like a demon."
Caveney corrected.
"At that time, I didn't realize Kafni's talent. So I didn't pay much attention to Kafni's words..."
Albert explained: "But just in case, I ordered the guards to watch him and not let him get close to Cafney."
"He did not come back after that."
Cafney said softly: "But I saw him in my dream, and he taught me common sense about the extraordinary world in my dream... He is my mentor."
"… What?"
Albert froze for a moment: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Cafney glanced at him, and said with certainty: "If there is no evidence, you won't believe it, Dad."
Hearing this, Albert scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.
He argued in a weak tone: "I found out that he was wearing gold jewelry at the time, and I sent someone to ask Zedi Black Tower just to be on the safe side, and that wizard is not a big shot.
"The news from the Black Tower is very certain—among all the current golden-rank wizards, there is no one with this name.
"This shows that he is at least not a golden-ranked wizard... A silver-ranked extraordinary person still can't make trouble in the capital."
Albert shrugged his shoulders, and said indifferently: "Just hiding in the royal court, there are several golden-rank transcendents. That is the capital of the king, not any other city..."
That's true.
Annan nodded in agreement.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the expressive power of the silver-rank transcendents he has seen... is indeed a bit far from the gold-rank.
With the guards of the golden rank, it is basically difficult for the extraordinary of the silver rank to make any big moves.
"So, what's the name of that wandering wizard?"
Salvatore asked curiously: "Your Highness, do you still remember?"
"Well, I remember. Since Cafney said he was like a demon, I remembered his name."
Albert quickly replied: "If I remember correctly, his name should be...
"—Nicholas Flamel."
"... Nicholas Flamel?"
At this moment, the shadow who had been silent for a while suddenly muttered to himself in surprise: "Wait, I have an impression of this name—"
Seeing the shadow, everyone was surprised by the name, and Salvatore's heart tightened suddenly.
Although he has no impression of this name, Salvatore has an impression of his shadow's personality and memory...
The name that can make it can't help but speak out is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Something's wrong, Thrall. Just ask this big stupid man if he has long white curly hair and dark green eyes?"
After a very short delay, the shadow quickly said in Salvatore's heart.
Aware of the urgency of the matter, Salvatore did not doubt the shadow.
He just asked immediately: "Your Highness, the person you are talking about...does he have white curly hair and green eyes?"
Hearing this, Albert was taken aback.
Cafney also raised her head at the same time, and looked at Salvatore carefully, with some doubts in her eyes.
The old Bread Bishop, who had been silent all this time, raised his head thoughtfully.
His Royal Highness Albert asked tentatively, "Do you know him?"
His inquiry has already told Salvatore the answer.
His complexion quickly became a little ugly.
Salvatore followed the shadow sentence by sentence and said: "I've heard of this name before. He is indeed not any golden-rank wizard that exists 'currently'...
"I mean, he should be... dead by now."
Salvatore speaks amazingly.
Under the silent gaze of several other people—even the players, Salvatore stuttered, followed the voice of the shadow, filtered out the swear words and said: "Nicholas Flamel, he... he He used to be the instructor of the Transformation School of the 'Jade Tower' belonging to the Kingdom of Denisoa, and served as the tower owner for a short period of time.
"As early as more than a hundred years ago, he ignited his soul and advanced gold. But at that time, he did not succeed the master of the tower... It was more than a year later that he suddenly became the son of the tower, and Succeeded the position of Tower Master at an extremely fast speed.
"After that, he served as the master of the Jade Tower for more than 30 years. Not long after that, a new son of the tower was born—then Nicholas' tower master status would naturally be deprived.
"Some tower masters regard this identity as a burden, but some tower masters regard it as the foundation of life extension... The soul of gold is eternal and bright, like gold, it will not be hurt by ordinary curses. But if you use the power of elements, It will gradually burn and dry up its own soul—until it is close to death.
"Nicholas overused his elemental power, so shortly after he lost his tower master status... almost a hundred years ago, he died and was buried."
Salvatore's own complexion also became unsightly.
As if frightened by his own words.
He murmured: "At that time... many people attended his funeral. Because he was the discoverer and improver of the ancient Philosopher's Stone technology, he was called the 'Second Hermes', the 'Modern Sage '—He is also one of the very few 'sages' who can actually refine the finished product of the Philosopher's Stone in this era.
"But after his death, when the Jade Tower searched his laboratory and looked for his Philosopher's Stone, they couldn't find it. At that time, it was suspected that a traitor escaped with the Philosopher's Stone. After searching for several years, he found Gradually fade away.
"If you really met a man with white hair and green eyes who called himself Nicholas Flamel... I think he might not have died at that time—
"He used the Philosopher's Stone he refined to escape the fate of death!"
