Chapter 246 Blue Crystal Shards
In Nico's private library, Kyle was sitting at the table as usual, quietly flipping through a book on alchemy in his hand. ♡♢
The house elf Tata stood quietly beside him, and when Kyle finished reading the last page, he gave Kyle a glass of freshly made lemonade at the right time.
"Thanks."
Kyle drank the lemonade and breathed a sigh of contentment.
It has been a month since he came here. During this period, he has almost lived in this library. Sometimes everyone even has food sent by Tata.
Although Nicolas Flamel did not teach him any knowledge about alchemy, he recommended many books suitable for beginners, which also benefited Kyle a lot and made a qualitative leap in his alchemy level.
This visible progress made Kyle extremely satisfied.
Unfortunately, today is the day to leave.
Kyle reluctantly handed the book in his hand to Tata and walked out of the library alone.
In the hall, Nicoléme was still enjoying an opera performance in his memory.
By the time Kyle came over, the band had just finished playing the last syllable.
"I was just wondering when you would come out."
Nico put away his memory and slowly stood up from the beach chair, "Perenel has urged me several times, we must go back. ♧♦"
Perenelle is Nico's wife, but she prefers to stay in Devon to take care of the plants in the garden, so she did not come to Paris with her this time.
"Shall we set off now?" Kyle asked.
"Don't worry." Nico laughed and said, "Before that, I need to check if you are lazy."
"Okay then...Professor Nico."
Kyle took out a folded piece of parchment from his pocket and unfolded it in front of Nico.
Every room here is marked in detail on the parchment, and Kyle's name is in the hall.
"Is this a map?" Nico said with interest.
"Yes." Kyle said: "The original map was drawn by Tata. I studied the trajectory magic of the flying curse and other interesting things, and finally made this."
Kyle took out his wand and pointed it on the map, and whispered:
"Library!"
On the parchment, a clear dotted line appeared between Kyle's name and the library.
Nico's eyes flickered, he didn't speak, he just moved his fingers slightly.
For a moment, the hall seemed to come alive. The corridor behind Kyle began to slowly close, and soon closed together and turned into a wall.
Not only that, but other places such as doors and windows also disappeared, and the hall suddenly became a closed space without any exit.
Nico looked at the parchment again.
The location of the room on the map has also changed, but strangely, the dotted line connecting Kyle and the library still exists, it just changed in one direction.
The dotted line turned a corner in front of the corridor and disappeared into a wall on the left.
"It seems like your work has failed."
Nico looked up at Kyle, pointed in the direction where the dotted line extended and said with a smile: "There is no exit there."
"Not necessarily, Nico." Kyle also smiled.
He followed the map to the wall, took a deep breath, and ran straight into it.
Nothing happened, it was like walking through the wall and entering the familiar corridor.

Afterwards, Nico also walked out.
"Please allow me to retract my previous evaluation." He said with a smile: "Great work, you are indeed not lazy."
"Then we can go back now?"
"Of course." Nico took out two crystal fragments, one blue and one red. "This is the door key. You can use it by inputting magic power into it using alchemy."
Kyle stared closely at the blue crystal that was exactly the same as the magic stone fragment, and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
Nico continued: "The red one can take you home, and the blue one can take you back to the library when you need it one day."
"Come back here again?" Kyle raised his head subconsciously.
"Yes." Nico said, "I think you must have wondered why I invited you here."
After Kyle was silent for a moment, he nodded slightly.
At first he thought it was because of the Order of Merlin, but if that was the case, it shouldn't be enough to keep him here for so long.
Especially during a meal ten days ago, Nico's wife Perenelle had already begun to urge him to go back.
Kyle was ready to go home, but to his surprise, Nico refused on the pretext that he wanted to watch an opera.
However, he hasn't been out at all these days.
"Because I saw you coming here, I saw it two months ago." Nico said.
Two months ago... Hogwarts wasn't even on holiday at that time.
Kyle thought for a moment, "Is it a prophecy?"
"Strictly speaking, not really, but you can understand it that way." Nico smiled and blinked, "Do you want to know what I saw?"
"No!" Kyle shook his head immediately.
The prophecies in the magical world are very strange. If you don't know it, it may change the outcome, but once you know it, it will definitely happen one day.
"Don't be so nervous."
Nico waved his finger and restored the room to its original state.
"In fact, I only saw you come here twice, and I didn't see anything else.
But there was a voice in my head telling me that you need that knowledge, and I should help you. "
Hearing what Nicole Flamel said, Kyle's expression relaxed a lot.
As long as they weren't here to find Nicoléme, it shouldn't be a big deal.
What was the purpose of his action last time... Oh, by the way, to save Paris.
The two of them returned to the hall together.
"Then, one last thing..."
Nico pointed to a box on the table next to him.
"It's a little late, but happy birthday, kid."
Kyle suddenly remembered that today is August 5th, five days after his birthday.
"Thanks, Nico, what is this?"
"Didn't you say before that you wanted a box that could store magic items?" Nico said, "I made it for you when I was listening to the opera."
Kyle picked up the box and looked at it carefully.
The box was heavy, with a dark gold surface, and several golden symbols on the opening... Kyle quickly recognized it, which was used to preserve magic power.
"Great, I just need this." Kyle said happily.
"As long as you like it."
