405. Chapter 402 Death and Philosopher's Stone

    Nicolas Flamel paused and looked at the expression on Ivan's face before he said softly, "I saw death inside!"

    DeathIvan was shocked.

    YesSeeing the horrified expression on Ivan's face, Flamel couldn't help but smile. "This is definitely accurate, isn't it?! This stone basin did a good divination and proved its accuracy. You know, after talking to Albus two years ago, I have ruined Philosopher's Stone so that I can avoid the voyages of people with ulterior motives. But it also means that I can no longer make elixir to sustain life. ”

    Even though Ivan was still worried about the sneaky man he had just seen in the stone basin phantom, but the audience heard it, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

    He didn't know what to say, he wasn't sure if he should comfort Flamel.

    "Okay, boy! Don't show such an expression, it's no big deal. ”Flamel continued to say in a relaxed tone, "Death is a relief for us, and my wife Perenelle and I are ready to taste the taste of death."

    But

    "I know that for someone young like you, this seems a little unbelievable. But for us, death is actually like going to bed after a long day. ”Flamel waved his hand and signaled Ivan not to care. "And, you must have heard Albus say that death is just another great adventure for the widowed mind." Keep in mind that this is far from over. ”

    In the empty corridor, only Flamel’s low and old voice echoed.

    He seems to be suggesting something, but Ivan can't understand.

    Although I have seen descriptions of death on many ancient magic books before, they are all unknown.

    In the ancient doctrines that have been lost, many wizards believe that death is not simply the end of life, but the beginning of a new cycle.

    This has surpassed life itself and became another mysterious classification of magic.

    Only a really powerful wizard is qualified to explore it.

    Ordinary people will only use every means to prolong life and avoid death.

    Although there is not much to know, if this is really a kind of magic, then there must be some secrets hidden in it.

    Ivan doesn't think it's just that when death comes, it's as simple as closing your eyes.

    Obviously, Flamel definitely knows something.

    But before he even asked him, Flamel blinked and continued. "I know what you are asking, but it is not the time to tell you." My child, when your life is about to reach the end, you will understand what I mean today. ”

    Flamel looked at Ivan carefully, smiling at the corner of his mouth and looking at the doubts on his face.

    "I don't know how long it will be, it depends entirely on your own choice."Flamel's gaze slowly descended on the locket hanging on Ivan's chest. "You have another option compared to others. You also have a Philosopher's Stone, as I did before, which means that no matter how much wealth you want and how long you have, you can get what you want. ”

    "I can't do this!"Ivan stunned, "It was originally owned by Godric Gryffindor. Gryffindor has modified this Philosopher's Stone thousands of years ago. It has no other use than magic power."

    He opened the locket and took Philosopher's Stone out.

    Irregular red stones glow softly in his hands.

    "I think so, if you have a little understanding of alchemy, you will know that the stone and the elixir are just one of the ways in which magic power is used in Philosopher's Stone. The key is Philosopher's Stone itself, which is the foundation. As long as there is this Philosopher's Stone, everything is possible. ”Flamel bent down and carefully observed Philosopher's Stone in Ivan's hand. "This Philosopher's Stone has a lot of power and is much stronger than the one I used to."

    He didn't take Philosopher's Stone from Ivan's hand, but kept it in this position for five minutes before he slowly raised his head.

    "Although I don't know much about the curse, there is no doubt that the power in this Philosopher's Stone is very pure and powerful, far beyond my imagination."Flamel looked at Ivan and said softly, "It's not a problem to crack the curse on you. In fact, as long as you master the method, whatever you want, it will help you."

    How can I contribute?Ivan asked subconsciously.

    “This involves very esoteric alchemy knowledge and related theories, and it’s too far away for you.”Flamel laughed. "What you need to do now, restore this broken Philosopher's Stone and find the other half as soon as possible."

    Ivan took Philosopher's Stone away. For the other half, he only knew that it was taken away by corrupted Centaur during the war eight hundred years ago.

    He didn't know where the other person is hiding now, and there is no clue.

    But from what Sirius said before, Dumbledore should already know that nothing can be overwhelmed by him, just look for…

    "Although what I am going to say next may not be appropriate, but you know, Philosopher's Stone is not really a wonderful thing."Flamel's expression suddenly became serious and warned Ivan. "With it, you seem to get everything, but actually lose more. This is also in line with the basic principle of alchemy, the conversion between all substances is conserved, I have been using it for more than six hundred years to understand this truth. ”

    Ivan blinked and he didn't understand what the other was saying.

    Like Dumbledore, Flamel always likes to say half of it, and all his warnings are up to the point, leaving Ivan to think for himself.

    This may be a commendable way of teaching, but it is certainly enough to drive people crazy.

    “With Philosopher's Stone, you get endless wealth and longevity, but you have to give up more preparation at the same time.”Flamel looked at Ivan and said slowly, "As a forerunner, if you ask for my opinion, then I will tell you that these seemingly important things actually have no benefit."

    i don't understand

    "When you understand, you can face death to death!"Flamel gasped for a while before continuing. "Today is our first meeting, but no accident, this should be our last meeting."

    Ivan looked up at the old wizard, and the light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

    At this moment, he is like a veteran who is about to die. Life is passing through his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    Flamel waved his hand and interrupted Ivan's question, indicating that he would continue to listen. "At the moment of destroying Philosopher's Stone, I was ready to meet the death. But because there is one thing that I can't worry about, I haven't acted. See you today, I can finally…"
