Chapter 114 The Truth about the Philosopher's Stone

Finny doesn't quite understand that your wand will expose its weaknesses, but Nico is right. He plans to make his own wand, one that is not known to Ollivander and the Ministry of Magic. ,

However, he did not plan to make it himself, but planned to make it through the system. The material of the staff had already been decided, which was snake wood, but he was still hesitant about the core of the staff.

Logically speaking, phoenix feathers are more suitable. The core of the wand he is holding is phoenix feathers.

However, Feeney always felt that this should not be the material of his own wand, so he kept hesitating.

And, most importantly, he has barely collected all the gems needed to customize the wand for the system.

We also need to set aside gems for emergency use, so this matter still has to wait.

Sure enough, just after Finny packed up the books that Nico asked him to take away, Dumbledore appeared outside the house in the light of Fawkes's fire. He still followed the same procedure as before when he came in, asking the house elf to take him away. Sent in,

"Mr. Black, I think you can go back to Hogwarts,"

Dumbledore walked in and said this directly to Feeney. Obviously, the representatives of the wizarding family had been bothering him in the past two days, so his attitude towards Feeney was not very good now.

Finny shrugged and smiled at Nico, came to Dumbledore's side, reached out and grabbed his arm,

After a burst of fire, Finny and Dumbledore left here again.

"What? Can't bear to leave?"

A very gentle female voice came from behind Nico,

"Perenal, you know me, Finny is really good,"

Perenal rolled his eyes and said,

"Yes, he is very good and can inherit your mantle, but is it really necessary? Didn't we decide it long ago? Of course, if you really don't want to let him go, I can stay with you for a while."

Nico shook his head and said,

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. We still have a few years, enough for me to teach him all those things."

Perenal shook his head and said,

"Is it really enough? Nico, it took you five years to accumulate your mantle. That kid Feeney is very good and I like him too. However, even if he is a genius, there is no way he can win in a few years." Time will take you five hundred years to learn everything.”

Nico shook his head and said,

"You don't need everything. Just teach him the basics. For the rest, just give him my research notes. How he goes in the future is his own business. We can't go too far. intervention."

Perenal shook his head and said with a smile,

"To be honest, I was the one who came to persuade you, but in the end it was you who came to persuade me. However, Albus was still a little too much towards Finny."

Nico sighed and said,

"I can understand Albus, although from Finny's point of view, Albus is indeed going too far. However, I can understand him. Albus knows very well that he won't live long, ten or twenty years is just Damn it, he is not us after all, the Presbyterian Church will not allow him to live forever, and twenty years is enough for Feeney to wait. Albus is preventing the second mysterious man from appearing. "

Perenal shook his head and said,

"If you ask me, Albus is too careful and too controlling. As long as he is out of his control, he will be very guarded."

Nico nodded,

"There is no doubt that there is this reason, but it is more that Albus saw his own shadow in Finny. Perenal, don't forget, when we first met Albus, he But he is still a saint.”

"Saint... I guess the Potter family's invisibility cloak is with Albus."

Perenal asked,

Nico nodded.

"Yes, there is also the Elder Wand he won from Grindelwald."

"So, all he needs is the Resurrection Stone?"

"What he lacks is not just the Resurrection Stone. If he collects three Deathly Hallows, he can control the God of Death. The Council of Elders will not always allow the Deathly Hallows to circulate in the magic world."

Nico sighed and said,

"However, we must admit that the Deathly Hallows are indeed powerful and possess some of the authority of the God of Death. The pursuit of saints does have some practical reasons. However, the Deathly Hallows cannot allow the owner to defeat or even defeat the God of Death. There is still something missing here about controlling death."

"What's wrong?"

Perenal asked,

Nico did not answer, but looked at a painting on the wall nearby. That painting was not a painting from the wizarding world but was painted by a Muggle. The scene above was the scene of the Black Death hundreds of years ago.

There was darkness and death. Seeing this, Perenal did not ask, but just reached out and held Nico's hand.

Both of them have lived for more than six hundred years because of the elixir of life, and their bodies have long since decayed. Therefore, even if they shook hands, they didn't use any force, they just touched each other.

But it can make each other feel each other's feelings, which is warmer than this.

The Black Death is an eternal pain in the hearts of two people.

Almost everyone in the magic world knows that Nico Flamel successfully created the Philosopher's Stone and defeated Death, but no one knows that the existence of the Philosopher's Stone is actually a pain that Nico will never forget in his life.

At its root, alchemy has always had a principle that cannot be violated, that is, equivalent exchange.

It's just that, although alchemists can tilt the balance of equivalent exchange, they can never make it disappear.

Therefore, the appearance of the Philosopher's Stone must have come at a certain price.

The Black Death is this price.

It can also be said that the appearance of the Philosopher's Stone was a mistake.

Nico at that time was immersed in the research and production of the Philosopher's Stone, the top existence of alchemists.

But because of an accident, a virus appeared, and Nico did not notice this at the time. It was not until the virus spread under the rule of equivalent exchange that Nico knew that the manufacture of the Philosopher's Stone was not without conditions and costs.

No one has successfully manufactured it, not only because it is so difficult, but also because the cost is too high, too high to bear.

The most important condition or cost of refining the Philosopher's Stone is a large amount of vitality, and the Black Death is the existence of harvesting vitality.

The second cost is the love of the refiner. Only the life of the beloved can be combined with the huge vitality before to achieve the effect of making a wish come true.

Nico, realizing this, hurriedly stopped refining the Philosopher's Stone. As a result, the semi-finished product, which had gained a lot of vitality, became the famous Philosopher's Stone in the magic world today.
