"April 1378rd, 4, the weather changed from cloudy to sunny"
"I met a very strange guy."
"He claimed to have a secret book of alchemy in his hand that was inspired by God, and he could practice the legendary 'philosopher stone' through this secret book of alchemy. To be honest, I don't really believe this, let alone feel anything Interest. I can't think of anything rare about a stone that can turn quicksilver into gold. And too much gold isn't a good thing."
"When I was walking outside, I was not allowed to mention my surname to others. Because our family is the one in the dark. I met my nominal cousin in that high-end hotel. Although I insisted on going from From the perspective of inheritance, the relationship between the two of us is not so close, even he doesn't know my existence. But in the world, including our respective mothers or grandmas, can there be 10 people with the surname Gunter? It’s hard for people to say, and it’s meaningless to care about those.”
"The two of us are brothers."
"My brother seemed very interested in the vaunted alchemist. But when the alchemist mentioned the amount of research funding he wanted, many people in the audience, including my brother, responded. Lost interest. They are indeed very interested in the 'philosopher's stone'. But if there are not ten alchemists who boast that they have such abilities, there must be eight. It is not convincing at all. Especially when the one in front of them, When you can’t even get the book you mentioned.”
"Although he even dared to reveal his recipe for refining the 'Golden Touch', everyone knows that recipes and raw materials don't matter, ratios, processes, rituals, these things are indispensable in alchemy. So even if he said that the Philosopher’s Stone he refined can help people live forever, few people are willing to really chat with him.”
"More people are still wondering why the boss let this guy into this high-end and elegant restaurant. They think it is almost a desecration of this elegant atmosphere."
"When I listened to the story with relish, when I mentioned money, I would throw people out of the door. I have to say, this is in line with my perception of the nobles in the outside world. At least when my father told me, the people he mentioned were also Exactly the same."
"And what makes me regret is that my brother, who doesn't know what his name is Gaunt, is also going to drive that alchemist out. And when he speaks, even the one who looks like the alchemist The store manager who is relatively close also has to drive the alchemist out of this restaurant."
"It may be a little disappointing. I lost my appetite for the food on the table. I don't know what the quality of this alchemist is. He may be a real liar, or he may really know something. But these things are very important to the group in front of us. For people who eat, drink, and have fun, it seems that the music in their ears, the food in front of them, and the beauty in front of them are not as important."
"They don't have enough respect for knowledge."
"I decided to go out and look for that alchemist. I don't know if he really has any skills, but his confident face makes me think his ideas are worth listening to."
"Well, the main reason is that the price he offered is not too much. Unlike the other Gunter, we have no other places to spend money, and we don't need to waste money on meaningless extravagance and communication. So I can The money at my disposal is enough to make a contract with that alchemist. It doesn't even affect my quality of life."
"And... my instinct tells me that this matter itself is profitable. I may not be famous in this life, but I don't mind having a few friends who are famous in Yunei. I even hope that his immortality is not related to Everyone else brags about it. So that even if I can't use it, there will be someone who will remember me until his long life is gone."
"People in the Gunter family will never miss any help to realize their ambitions."
"So I found him very quickly. The alchemist named Nick Flamel was very surprised by my arrival, and he was even more surprised when he heard that I was willing to give him money for research. And His surprise peaked when I told him my last name."
"What followed was disbelief and questioning."
"He questioned my intentions, questioned my origins, even questioned my financial resources."
"And when I really took out the amount of money he asked for, he didn't say anything. I believe that at that time, let alone let him admit that I am the Gaunt family, even if he admits that I am the son of Merlin, he will And definitely not shaking your head."
"I have to admit that I am different from the nobles he is familiar with, and the people in our family are different from those nobles he is familiar with. They hide their greed under the mask of elegance. The more elegant the person, the more elegant they are. The more greedy you are. But compared to greed, the people in our family are far inferior to them. And the elegance of behavior is naturally far inferior."
"It's decided. From now on, the etiquette class will become a compulsory course for the family again. As nobles, we still can't be so naked after all. Especially in front of unfamiliar people."
"Well, let's start with my son's generation."
Luke finished reading this page of the diary, and his mind was full of complicated thoughts, like a mess.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to say that ancestor Jess never forgot his original intention, or that ancestor Jess was honest and forthright.
In the face of benefits, he did not hesitate, and faced with the opportunity to deceive his own juniors, he faced up to the difficulties.
It's hard to say whether the ancestor's mental state is a problem.He is completely different from some ancestors I have seen before...
Um, yes, every ancestor is different.
I always feel that the purpose of the branch I belong to is to prove the diversity of nobles.
But I finally saw the first contact between Jess and Nico. It seemed like a down-and-out genius researcher met the rich and powerful Bole, and then gained the feeling of an angel wheel.
This kind of story is logically not common, but it is indeed far from rare.There is a similar story behind almost every invention.It's just that some of them were told by others, and some were annihilated in time.
But Luke began to look forward to it.From a historical point of view, Jess Gunter, who came with a small amount of money and made a fortune with a small fortune, did meet a reliable partner.His investment was about to pay off in an unbelievable degree.
So with the thought of watching Jace be shocked next, Luke turned to the next page of his diary.
"In 1378, April 4th, the weather changed from sunny to cloudy."
"Tsk, this guy Nico really knows how to do it! It's obviously not an expensive place, but this trick is much more than the ones I usually go to."
Luke:? ? ?
Did Nicole Flamel take my ancestors somewhere where they couldn't be aired?
Oh, my ancestors usually go by themselves...that's fine...
Get out!You are only 12 years old!
Luke felt a sense of collapse.It's fine if you don't go to Hogwarts.This is tolerable.But you can't be addicted to this kind of thing at a young age if you don't go to school!
this this this this...
Then he saw the following line, which was the next day.
"In 1378, on April 4, the weather was heavy and rainy."
"The restaurant Nico is looking for today has more types of food. It is said that the ancestors of the boss traveled to the far east with a ship hundreds of years ago and brought many novel cooking methods. However, many people are still not used to it. , may still need more improvement. But I ate well. It is better than yesterday's Roman food."
It turned out to be a restaurant... I thought it was some indescribable place...
Luke subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Although this person has been separated from him for more than 600 years, it will not delay him from feeling a little ashamed of Jess Gunter's words and deeds.
After all, from the perspective of blood, this is his real ancestor.
Restraining these frantic thoughts, Luke held his temper and continued to read.
He saw that Nicole and Jace obviously got along well together.The two quickly went from partners to true friends.Jess is like a playboy, busy with things that seem to be sloppy every day.He even wanted to go to Richard II's palace to see the Regent 'John of Gaunt'.
But his idea was eventually rebuked by Nico.Because the English royal family at that time did get the allegiance of some wizards.They wouldn't mind teaching Jace a lesson.After all, Jess' identity cannot be revealed easily.Nico was destined to be one of his own.And Nicole felt that the 'John of Gaunt' was not what Jess thought, but a relative of his family.The family is of standard English royal blood.
If Luke remembers correctly, this son later became King of England.
Afterwards, Nicole started his own research and began to live in seclusion and concentrate on it.I just want to get the Philosopher's Stone out.
But Jess was very dissatisfied and went to check his family tree, and found that he really had no blood relationship with the English royal family.But he still went to play with John's son of Gunter with great interest, and the two even became friends.
This is what is called a friend in the true sense, and the two of them basically have nothing serious to do.So much so that in the subsequent diary, the frequency of Jess being beaten increased slightly.
The reason why it is a small amount is mainly because there is almost no room for improvement.
This seemingly interesting story lasted for a while.Luke also watched with relish.Jess Gunter is really a very strange person. He is very serious about writing his diary and playing very seriously.It's like never doing anything serious.But Luke felt the turmoil beneath the banter.It seemed like he was messing with a lot of things that didn't even deserve to be in his diary.
In other words, he is unwilling to expose his true self to his descendants, even if it is unknown how many years after his death.
After realizing this, Luke suddenly felt that although Jess Gunter was a non-mainstream Gunter, Gunter was Gunter.
After a while, Luke saw what he was looking for.
"1382, April 4th, the weather was overcast."
"Nicole invited me to watch his experiment. He said that he was sure to practice that stone this time. After so many years, although I didn't collect information on purpose, I was still consciously or unintentionally. relevant information has been obtained.”
"The Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Stone, the Philosopher's Stone, the Elixir of Life... They are all the names of that stone. It is said that that stone is the crystallization of the most advanced technology of alchemy. It represents the highest mystery of alchemy."
"But Nico told me that the Sorcerer's Stone - he finally decided on the name - is indeed the crystallization of the most advanced technology of alchemy, but it is far from the highest mystery of alchemy."
"He also told me that he thought that the book came from the generosity of the gods, and never thought that it would be a conspiracy."
"I don't know what he meant, but when I asked again, he didn't say anything, just shook his head slowly, and then told me that the highest secret of alchemy is alchemy itself."
"I want to see you here, like me, understand something, junior."
Luke's reading is interrupted by a conversational tone that breaks in.Looking at this line, he also realized something.
"Nico succeeded, but he didn't seem that happy. He said that he would share the Philosopher's Stone with me and the Gaunt family. Although it is not clear what the effect of this thing is, if nothing else, it is indeed as stated in the book, It can make people live forever.”
"I refused."
"I am very clear that I cannot possess such a thing. The long years are not a good thing for me. The mission of our Gunters makes us unable to accept such things. We will lose our fighting spirit and become the Gunters. shackles."
"I said to Nico, as a gift and inheritance. Our share will be given to you for the time being. Keep it all for us."
"Nico didn't quite understand. He smiled and told me to drink the blood-like potion. It was just the water soaked in the Philosopher's Stone. But anyone who understands magic can see that there is something in it. Vitality and magic. I am not surprised that it can make people live forever."
"He said that as long as I drink it, I can give these things to my descendants myself."
"I said, my descendants will not like an old immortal ancestor. I will not live forever. If I really drink it, I am not sure if I will die at the hands of my son or grandson .”
"He seemed shocked by my words. He was stunned for a while. I didn't comfort him, but just continued to let him keep these things. Including the finished product of the Philosopher's Stone. It also includes the formula of the Philosopher's Stone."
"He asked me how long I was going to keep it. I said you'll find out then."
"I don't know how long it will be kept, but, junior, the junior who read this diary should be talking about you."
Luke suddenly had a feeling that his ancestors more than 600 years ago were asking himself questions.After drifting in the long river of time for more than 600 years, this sentence finally came before my eyes.
Luke seemed to see the black-haired and green-eyed young man who was lying on the desk in front of the diary, recording his every day in unique handwriting.
He raised his head, looked at the empty air, and said these words.
At that moment, Luke seemed to feel the oppression of the years, that heavy pressure, like a special sense of mission, pressed straight over like a mountain.
After closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Luke slowed down.Read on.Regardless of whether the words were purely a prank or they were really directed at myself, it was already more than 600 years ago.
Over 600 years...Luke had no idea of going back that far.
"The Philosopher's Stone is the gift I left behind. I don't know when you saw this diary. But please remember..."
"The Philosopher's Stone is by no means salvation. If its nature is not understood, then the wealth and immortality it brings are no different from curses."
"The three holy artifacts bestowed by the god of death are more like a curse than a gift. Similarly, I don't know where the book in Nico's mind came from. But I think they are almost the same."
"However, if Nico is given another chance, he will still choose to accept it without hesitation."
"This is the lesson, junior, don't think about taking shortcuts. That's often the farthest way from your goal."
"The inheritance is left to you younger generations. I can't hold your hands and manage how you use it. But I think...you will understand."
"If you are a qualified Gunter."
"Completed in 1462, April 4th, weather: unknown"
"Jess Gaunt."
"I met a very strange guy."
"He claimed to have a secret book of alchemy in his hand that was inspired by God, and he could practice the legendary 'philosopher stone' through this secret book of alchemy.
