Nicol Lemay paused, carefully observing the expression on Aven's face before he said softly, "I saw death in there!"

"Death?!" Evan said in surprise. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Yes!" Seeing the stunned expression on Aven's face, Lemay couldn't help but smile, "This must be accurate, isn't it?!" This stone basin has done a magic divination and proved its accuracy. You know, after talking to Albus two years ago, I have destroyed the Philosopher's Stone so that I can avoid the prying eyes of some people with ulterior motives. But it also meant that I could no longer make elixirs to keep me alive. ”

Even though Ai Wen was still a little worried about the sneaky man he had just seen in the stone basin phantom, the atmosphere suddenly became heavy when he heard the other party's words.

He didn't know what to say, unsure if he should comfort Lemay.

"Alright, kid, don't put on a look like that, it's not a big deal. "Death is a relief for us, and my wife and I are ready to taste it. ”

"But ......"

"I know, for someone as young as you, it seems a little incredible. But for us, death is actually like finally going to bed after a long day. Lemay waved his hand, signaling that Evan didn't care, "And, you must have heard Albus say that death is just another great adventure for a sober wizard." Remember, this is far from the end. ”

In the empty corridor, only Lemay's deep, old voice echoed.

He seemed to be hinting at something, but Evan didn't understand.

Although he had seen descriptions of death in many magic books before, he was vague about all of them.

Among the ancient doctrines that have been lost, there are many shamans who believe that death does not simply mean the end of life, but the beginning of a new cycle.

This has transcended life itself and become another mystical classification of magic.

Only truly powerful wizards are qualified to explore it.

And ordinary people will only use all means to prolong life and avoid death.

Not much is known, but if this is truly a type of magic, then there must be some secret hidden in it.

Evan doesn't think it's as simple as closing his eyes and facing death when it comes.

Obviously, Lemay must know something.

But before he could ask, Lemay blinked and continued, "I know what you're asking, but now is not the time to tell you. My child, when your life is coming to an end, you will understand the meaning of what I am saying today. ”

Lemay looked at Evan carefully, a smile on his lips, looking at the confusion on his face.

"I don't know how long that day will be, it's all up to you. Lemay's gaze slowly descended to the locket on Aven's chest, "You have another choice compared to the others. You also have a Philosopher's Stone, like I did before, which means that no matter how much wealth you want to have, how long you want to live, you can get it. ”

"I can't do it!" said Aven, "it originally belonged to Godric Gryffindor, who transformed the Philosopher's Stone a thousand years ago, and now it has no use for anything other than to provide magical power. ”

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

Irregular red stones, glowing softly in his hands.

"I don't think so, if you know a little bit about alchemy, you will know that turning stones into gold and making elixirs are just one of the ways in which magic is used in the Philosopher's Stone. The key lies in the Philosopher's Stone itself, which is the foundation. As long as this Philosopher's Stone is there, anything is possible. Lemay bent down and carefully observed the Philosopher's Stone in Aven's hand, "This Philosopher's Stone has great power, much more powerful than the one I had before. ”

Instead of taking the Philosopher's Stone from Aven's hand, he maintained this position and watched for five minutes before slowly raising his head.

"Although I don't know much about curses, there is no doubt that the power inside this philosopher's stone is very pure and powerful, far beyond my imagination. Lemay looked at Evan and said softly, "Breaking the curse on you is not a problem, in fact, as long as you master the method, whatever you want to get, it will help you achieve it." ”

"What should I do?" asked Evan subconsciously.

"This involves very esoteric alchemical knowledge and related theories, which are too far away for you. Lemay laughed, "What you need to do now is to restore this broken Philosopher's Stone to its entirety and find the other half as soon as possible." ”

Evan put away the Philosopher's Stone, and for the other half of the pieces, he only knew that it was taken by the Fallen Centaurs during the war eight hundred years ago.

He didn't know where the other party was hiding now, and there was no clue at all.

However, judging from what Sirius said before, Dumbledore should already know that he can't hide anything from him, just look for ......

"While what I'm about to say next may not be appropriate, you must know that the Philosopher's Stone is not really such a wonderful thing. Lemay's expression suddenly became serious, and he admonished Aven, "With it, you seem to get everything, but in fact you lose even more." This is also in line with the most basic principle of alchemy, all transformations between substances are conserved, and it took me more than 600 years to understand this truth. ”

Evan blinked, he didn't understand what the other party was talking about.

Like Dumbledore, Lemay always liked to say half and half left, and all his admonitions were to the point, leaving the rest for Evan to think for himself.

This may be an admirable way of teaching, but it is undoubtedly enough to drive people insane.

"With the Philosopher's Stone, you will get endless wealth and longevity, but at the same time you have to be prepared to give up more. Lemay looked at Evan and said slowly, "As a forerunner, if you ask for my opinion, then I will tell you that these seemingly important things don't actually do any good. ”

"I don't understand ......"

"When you understand, you can face death calmly!" Lemay gasped for a moment before continuing, "Today is our first acquaintance, but no surprise, this should be the last time we will see each other." ”

Evan looked up at the old wizard, the glint in his eyes slowly dissipating.

At this moment, he was like an old man who was about to die, and life was flowing from his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lemay interrupted Aven's question with a wave of his hand, motioning for him to continue listening, "The moment I destroyed the Philosopher's Stone, I was ready for death. But because there was one thing that I couldn't reassure about, I didn't take action. Seeing you today, I can finally ......" (To be continued.) )
