Chapter 291 Everything has a price, everything has a bargaining chip

Wo Bu Geng Xin
Immortality, a field that mortals should not set foot in.This should belong to the private land of the gods.
However, in the wizarding world, everyone knows that there is one person who broke through the constraints of the gods, and that is Nicole Flamel, and he is also the only one who has stolen the gods' abilities.
Everyone was envious. When Nico was young, many people thought of getting the Philosopher's Stone from him.But in the follow-up process, no one was able to succeed at all, and more people returned without success, and even fell into certain crises because of certain circumstances afterwards.
Everyone doesn't say it on the surface, but they know it in their hearts.Certain forces must have sheltered Nicole Flamel behind his back.Moreover, this force still has enough strength to make everyone go home without a feather.
Of course, everyone is also watching here, looking forward to whether Nicole Flamel can live forever.
As a result, while they felt excited, they also felt uncomfortable.
Nicole Flamel has been alive and has killed many, many of his peers.But the longevity Luke has accumulated more and more power, and the weight he occupies is also getting bigger and bigger, so it is not easy to do it directly.
At the same time... Nico's appearance became more and more clear to people.The feeling of immortality may not feel so blissful.
So except for those old people whose lifespan is dying, basically no one will think about the Sorcerer's Stone.
And now, Luke knows that the legendary Big Four should all be able to live forever.
Nicol's immortality was so deeply flawed.So what about the Big Four?
Is the immortality method of the Big Four really much better than the Philosopher's Stone pursued by countless alchemists?
They are heavenly geniuses...but people are hard to resist.
"Your flaw is..."
Luke asked tentatively.
"I don't know about the others. You also discovered my flaws. I can't change back into a human form. Or... I can't become a wizard."
The lion lay in front of Luke. It was much taller than a normal lion, so even if it was lying on its stomach, he could easily keep eye level with Luke.
"When I transform into various animals, I can have the magic resistance and strength of a dragon. But when I forcefully transform back into a human, I will become weak, like a baby."
"And it will be extremely painful. At the beginning, I wondered if there was any way to change. But later, I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't change myself back to the original."
"Even if I want to die as a human being, I can't do it."
When he said this, the lion's tone was only low, without any deeper regret.Obviously.Although the current situation makes him a little dissatisfied.But that doesn't mean he can't accept the status quo at all.In other words, he hasn't given up yet.
For an immortal person to spend the rest of his time restoring his human body and perfecting his immortality, this is quite a rush.
Not necessarily a bad thing.
But Luke still thought of the worst scenario in this situation.
If an immortal person has only the idea of ending his own life for the rest of his immortal life, it would be somewhat ironic.
A lot of things flashed through Luke's mind at once.The lion on the opposite side obviously understood Luke's mind, and after showing a humane smile, he said: "Calm down. Although there are various flaws, but to be honest, only us people can say this kind of thing." said."
Whether longevity is a good thing or not is not something these short-lived species should consider.People who want to pursue immortality are not available, what are the defects after immortality?
Luke also smiled bitterly when he heard this.
He has no pursuit of longevity.He had a good life in his previous life, but when he thinks about living that kind of life for hundreds of thousands of years, he feels bored.
I know how tired Luke is now.Such worrying and strenuous days really feel like dying early.
"Other people's methods of immortality must have flaws. The method of immortality was a subject that the four of us competed with each other at the time. Of course, there was a lot of help between each other. For example, when my method of immortality was being perfected, Salazar gave me A supporting potion. Without this potion, I would not have succeeded."
When the lion said this, it could be regarded as dispelling Luke's desire for immortality to a certain extent.Luke was his descendant anyway, and he certainly didn't want to watch Luke jump into the pit.He knew very well that the immortality methods of the four of them were all pitfalls.
"Unless there is no other choice. I think if you want to prolong your life, you'd better find another way. Of course...you are still a child now, so there is no need to worry about longevity."
The lion shrugged his shoulders, and said with a relaxed face: "To be honest, maybe after you live to a certain age, you don't want to live anymore."
"After spending a lot of effort to obtain eternal life, whether you are willing to kill yourself or not is another matter."
Luke's mouth twitched twice when he heard this.I feel that there is still a little gap between what this ancestor said and what people say.
"So... ancestor, can you give me this method of immortality?"
Luke thought for a while, and said to Gryffindor with a smile on his face.
The lion looked at Luke with a look of contempt: "Your brat's shameless posture really feels a bit like me. Just now you kicked my table to turn against me, and now you are called by your ancestors?"
Luke chuckled, but didn't speak.
He finally understood that this Gryffindor guy had no ties at all, he was purely an individual player.He doesn't care about others' ridicule of him, nor does he care about others' flattery to him.Of course, there are three other people besides the Big Four.Especially Slytherin.
Of course, when thinking of this, Luke also looked at the spoils around him.I'm afraid, before Gryffindor grows up, all the emotions are here.
Now, they can only become a tool of nostalgia, allowing Gryffindor to feel his own humanity.But it never came back.
"I called you over this time mainly because I sensed the aura of Salazar on you, and I called you here just to get some information about him."
The lion put his head on the overlapping paws and said, "Give me some news, and let me see if you can satisfy me."
Luke nodded, even if it wasn't for the method of immortality, a simple breakthrough in Transfiguration would be enough for Luke to put down his face.Or the legacy of the Big Four, he was quite afraid of that, but any one of them could make greed ripples in his heart.
Luke took a deep breath and told all the things that happened in the secret room before.
The lion lowered its head and listened to Luke without saying a word.
The story wasn't long at all, and after a few minutes of talking, Luke confided everything about the secret room.
It was necessary to keep it secret from others, but it was necessary to keep Slytherin from Gryffindor.More or less unnecessary.
After listening to Luke's story, Gryffindor was silent for a long time, then smiled and said: "I guess, the person talking to you should not be Salazar himself... After all, you also said that his thoughts and body There are too many souls. I can't figure out who the person talking to you behind is."
Luke already had guesses about this matter.
But after listening to it for so long, Hermione has always been half-understandable.Her habit is to ask when she doesn't understand.
"Why do you say that? When I saw Lord Slytherin's missing body in the secret room, he was still in great condition."
Hermione thought back to the translucent figure in the Chamber of Secrets.Although the posture is arrogant, the tone is gloomy.But in view of Luke's face, Slytherin's missing body is still friendly to both Taylor and Hermione.
The lion was not angry either, and said with a smile, "Ha, little girl, let me ask you, what do you think of my condition?"
Hermione wanted to say yes.But think about it, a human being cannot live as a human being.Look at it in a philosophical way of thinking.That's probably not good.
So Hermione said nothing, just shook her head.
"That's right! You can see that my state is like this. Salazar's immortality method is much bigger than my problem at first glance. Splitting the soul and engraving memory. Even if such things allow him to It doesn't make sense to use your own biotechnology to create a body without wear and tear."
"Being able to have a logical conversation with Luke. I don't believe in this kind of thing."
"Things that Helga couldn't do, even though Salazar was so talented, he couldn't do it."
What the lion said was categorical, but he was really qualified to say this.
After all, everyone is of the same level, and no one is better than the other.
Seeing that Hermione stopped talking, the lion's eyes turned back to Luke again, he shook his head and said, "Don't worry. You still have a long time to live. I'm afraid it will be longer. Wait When you really need it, come to me for this method."
"I know what you think, but I want to use my things to gain benefits for myself. I can't agree."
The lion snorted and said calmly: "Not everyone is worthy of my method."
Luke rubbed the back of his head.In this case, he had expected it.After all, the eyes are higher than the top, and it is better to let him die than to expect him to give those mediocre people a chance to live forever.
"However, you should have other things you want."
Gryffindor looked at Luke, who was a little disappointed, and said with a smile: "I think you should really need my idea of developing talents at that time."
Luke's face straightened immediately, this was what he needed most.
It's not that he has no idea of development, but Gryffindor's experience in talent development will definitely allow him to stand on the shoulders of giants and climb up.Doing more with less is an understatement.
"That's okay. To be honest, I didn't expect this talent to be inherited..." Lion gave Luke a deep look, "I dare not say anything else. At least in the research direction of blood fusion, you should It is Salazar's greatest work."
No one likes to hear that.After hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but frowned.But Luke's expression was still calm.No one likes being treated as a work of art by others.This completely deprives a person of his qualifications to be a human being.
However, what the other party said is also true, Luke has no way to refute,
"I haven't heard of anyone else possessing this talent before I awakened. And after me, before you, I haven't seen anyone else possess it either."
"Helping you is my selfishness. I don't have any ideas for further research now. I want to see if you have any new research ideas after a thousand years."
Luke smiled and said, "I understand, thank you."
But after he said his thanks, he saw a gloating expression on the lion's face.
"I won't pass on the memory to you directly, it's too complicated. I'm not good at this Chinese thing, and it's easy to hurt you. If there is Royinna, I can ask her to do it for me."
】
Luke had a feeling this was definitely not the real reason.Although there are strengths and weaknesses in the manipulation of memory.But isolating part of the memory, it's not that hard.
The Pensieve is what was developed to read these memories.These memories are relatively common in the wizarding world.It's just... the danger is not low.There are not many people who dare to directly hold their wands against their heads to draw out their memories.
"I originally prepared a small gift, and you can get it as long as you follow my instructions."
Luke's face changed.
The banter on the lion's face became more and more obvious.
"So now guess where is the little gift I gave you?"
Luke looked over at the overturned table.An ink bottle that has become an empty bottle.There was also the clean white quill pen that was already stained with dust and the white paper that was wet with ink lying on the ground.
He took out the wand in his hand and waved it: "Restored as before."
However, there was no reaction at all.
Luke closed his eyes in pain.
The lion in front of him laughed unscrupulously.It sounds really fun.
After a while, the lion said: "Okay, little guy, don't act anymore. I'll prepare another one for you. But you also know that it is not very convenient for me to use magic power now. You may have to wait a few days, I'll go back and give it to you."
Luke smiled wryly, he really wasn't all pretending.Although knowing it will definitely not affect the price.But he was also a little regretful.If you get angry, you will get angry. There is really no need to vent your anger.
It's just too much.
But the matter has come to this, he can only nod his head and thank him.
"You don't have to thank me. You should know. Although it can't be said to be a complete transaction. But we both gave chips."
"So don't feel that you owe me anything. I don't need the gratitude of a brat like you."
There was an indifferent smile on the face of the lion, he looked at the boy opposite, and said: "I don't know what you are dreaming, pursuing, and plotting, but I hope it is a big enough thing."
"If you are stingy, don't say that you are my descendant outside."
However, in the wizarding world, everyone knows that there is one person who broke through the constraints of the gods, and that is Nicole Flamel, and he is also the only one who has stolen the gods' abilities.
