Faransi, Fence Incense House Street.

Zhang Hao strolled alone on the street, looking for the address he found.

Suddenly, he saw a low-key signboard, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes.

Who would have thought that the famous alchemist Nicol Lemay would live in such an inconspicuous place?"

Not bad!

The target of Zhang Hao's trip is the great alchemist Nicol Lemay.

He had been thinking of visiting Nicol Lemay when he got the alchemy notes, but Dumbledore said that the master was too busy with some things to take care of, so he didn't have time to receive anyone.

It was only recently that Dumbledore said that Nicol Lemay had time to meet with guests.

So Zhang Hao hurriedly made a visit plan, and after the holiday, he only rested for two days before coming to Falanxi.

It was a difficult place to find, and his prayer note was sent by Dumbledore, so he didn't know exactly where Nicol Lemay lived.

It took him more than an hour to find this inconspicuous sign.

Fortunately, they didn't make an appointment to meet in the morning, otherwise Zhang Hao would have been late, which would be too rude.

Despite this, Zhang Hao was also a little dissatisfied.

He frowned and thought, "It seems that we should train some wizarding subordinates, Muggle subordinates are really difficult to do things in the wizarding world - they can't even find a wizard's residence!

In fact, even if the average wizard came, he couldn't find Nicol Lemay.

Because Nicol Lemay's residence is a safe house, protected by the Loyalty Charm, not everyone can find it.

If Zhang Hao hadn't had Dumbledore's guidance, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seen Nicol Lemay for the rest of his life.

"Hey, handsome sir, are you waiting for someone?"

Zhang Hao was thinking about it when an ambiguous voice came from the side. He turned his head and saw that it was a beautiful woman who spoke.

"Hello?" said the woman ambiguously, "May I invite you to have a cup of coffee?"

"Oh! I'm sorry!" Zhang Hao said politely: "I still have something to do, I'm afraid I'll live up to your kindness." ”

"Is it?" said the woman disappointedly, "that is a pity, and I wish you a pleasant trip to France." ”

After the woman finished speaking, she left, Zhang Hao chuckled and shook her head.

It's not the first time -

All French people are passionate and romantic, and Zhang Hao doesn't know how French men are, but French women are really passionate and romantic.

Since coming to Xiangsheli Street, this is the third time Zhang Hao has been accosted.

"I don't think the Lancey woman is so passionate and romantic, right?" he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "Could it be that my charm is too high to resist?"

The question was destined to go unanswered, and someone shook his head regretfully.

Knock!

Zhang Hao came to the inconspicuous signboard and knocked lightly on the door.

After waiting for a while, the door was opened from the inside.

The person who opened the door was an old man who was skinny and skinny, and Zhang Hao recognized it at a glance, this was the famous Nicol Lemay, the creator of the Philosopher's Stone and an alchemist who had lived for hundreds of years.

"Hello, respected elder, great alchemist, Mr. Nicol Lemay?" Zhang Hao took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said politely, "It's a great pleasure to be received by you!"

"Oh, you're the genius boy from the East?" said Nicol Lemay kindly, "Albus has mentioned you a few times, and I'm glad to see you." Come in, don't stand at the door. ”

He stretched out his hand and shook it with Zhang Hao as he spoke, his hand really didn't have any flesh at all.

Zhang Hao didn't dare to exert himself, he still remembered that in the movie "The Crimes of Grindelwald", a fat Muggle almost crushed these hands.

Nicol Lemay was lucky enough to gain immortality, but the years have been eroding him.

His body is getting worse day by day, and ordinary people must be frightened when they see him like this.

Nicol Lemay beckoned Zhang Hao into the room and poured him a cup of coffee before starting to talk.

"Kid...... Is it your first time coming to the fence?" the great alchemist asked with a smile, "How do you feel about the fence?"

The old man's smile was not at all kind, but with a sense of terror.

His whole face was wrinkled and his eyes were sunken in their sockets, and if he were to be placed outside, he would probably cause panic at any time.

But Zhang Hao didn't care at all, he praised: "Fence is a beautiful city, and the people here are very welcoming. If it weren't for the habit, I would have wanted to settle here. ”

"Oh, is it?" the Great Alchemist encouraged, "Habits can be changed, I remember...... It only takes more than twenty days to form a habit, so why don't you try it, and if you're willing to settle in the fence, I'd recommend studying at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is not inferior to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. How?

"Thank you for your kindness, I will consider it carefully. Zhang Hao did not refuse, but changed the topic and said: "Master, I have some questions for you, it is about the Philosopher's Stone...... Is it convenient for you to answer?"

Hearing the three words of the Philosopher's Stone, the Great Alchemist suddenly came to his senses, and he said with interest: "Of course, I have reached this age, what else is there to hide? But I have recorded all the knowledge about the Philosopher's Stone in that notebook, I think you should read it all, right?"

"Yes, your notes are all engraved in my mind. Zhang Hao pointed to his head, and spread his hands again: "But I'm not here today to ask you about the knowledge of making magic stones, but to know how it feels like to take the elixir." ”

"How does it feel to take the elixir?" said the Great Alchemist in surprise, "This is really strange, no one has ever asked about this before—they just want to get the Philosopher's Stone." ”

"Then are you willing to answer this question?" Zhang Hao said expectantly: "I have read your notes, and the process of making the Philosopher's Stone has been fully understood, and even as long as you gather the materials, you can immediately make another Philosopher's Stone." But I wasn't sure if I should take the elixir, I had to determine its side effects. Would you like to share your feelings?"

The process of making the Philosopher's Stone is indeed very difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, it is not impossible to complete.

So why is there only one Philosopher's Stone in this world?

Even Nicol Lemay didn't make a second Philosopher's Stone, and there was clearly force majeure in the way.

Either the materials needed to make the Philosopher's Stone are very rare, or the use of the Philosopher's Stone has terrible side effects.

Zhang Hao plans to find out the inside story first, and then decide whether to make the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible.

"You've come to understand the idea of making the Philosopher's Stone so quickly?" the Great Alchemist exclaimed, "Albus is right when he says you're a genius, I have so many disciples, and none of them are as smart as you." Maybe I should test you...... Would you like to try it?"

Zhang Hao didn't care much about this seemingly rude request.

Since you have something to ask for, you must give something.

Others don't want money or life, they just want to take the test, which is already very refreshing!

Zhang Hao thought about it for a moment and said calmly: "You gave me the alchemy note, then I will be your student." It is natural for teachers to test students, and I can fully understand and will not refuse. So...... How are you going to test me?"

The Great Alchemist clapped his hands lightly and said happily, "Child!

He took out a piece of parchment to write and draw, and after a moment he said, "I have an alchemical formula here, as long as you can parse it, you will pass the test." ”

Zhang Hao took the parchment and studied it carefully for a while, and found that the alchemy formula on it was the core formula for making the Philosopher's Stone.

As long as you can use this alchemy formula flexibly, and after a lot of hard work, any alchemist can make a magic stone.

And Zhang Hao had already carried out many alchemy experiments in the illusion, although because there were no actual materials for him to come into contact with, he could not condense the materials for making magic stones, but it was basically easy to solve a formula.

He also took out a pen and paper and began to parse it on the spot.

After just over ten minutes, he stopped writing and handed the manuscript in his hand to the Great Alchemist.

"Sir, please help me to see...... Is there a problem with this method of parsing?"

"Oh, so fast?" the Grand Alchemist took the manuscript and put on his glasses to examine it carefully.

It only took a few glances for the expression on his face to change.

It was a mixture of surprise, appreciation, and disbelief, and he said excitedly: "And this kind of analysis method? It seems that you have studied that alchemy notebook very thoroughly, I can't imagine it! What a genius!"

Zhang Hao delved into the alchemy notes, so he did not receive the above knowledge as ordered, but used the ready-made knowledge as a springboard and stepped on a higher level.

Nicol Lemay has hundreds of years to study, but he gets tired, limited by materials, and delayed by chores...... Therefore, the time spent on studying alchemy, even if it is more than Zhang Hao, will not be too exaggerated.

And Zhang Hao stands on the shoulders of Nicol Lemay, and it is not surprising that with more resources, he has achieved even higher.

But Nicol Lemaco doesn't know this, he only thinks that Zhang Hao is really a genius, and it's strange not to be surprised!

Zhang Hao smiled and said: "The master is too famous, and my ability to achieve such an achievement is inseparable from your teaching." ”

The Great Alchemist laughed and said, "You Orientals are humble...... This is truly a rare virtue. Now that you've passed the test, I'll tell you about how it feels to take the elixir......"

The old man did not hide his selfishness, and explained his various feelings after taking the elixir to Zhang Hao one by one.

In the end, he sincerely advised: "Although taking the elixir can make you live forever, it comes at a huge price. Eventually you will become like me, your flesh decaying to the point of no vitality. Nothing is sweet, and all the pleasures associated with the flesh are gradually lost—this is a terrible torture. So don't try to seek immortality with the Philosopher's Stone as a last resort. ”

"Thank you for your advice," Zhang Hao said solemnly, "I will take your words to heart." ”

The Great Alchemist nodded in satisfaction and turned the conversation elsewhere.

The two chatted until noon and had a simple lunch together before Zhang Hao got up to say goodbye.

"Master, I'm going to spend a few days on the fence, and I'll come to say goodbye to you when I'm leaving. ”

"Have fun, then!"

Zhang Hao also brought Lilith with him on this trip, and they were indeed going to have a good time in the fence for a few days.

......

The night on the fence is beautiful, especially at this moment.

Shooting stars shining with green light streaked across the sky......

These meteors have a long tail flame, which means they are quite large.

Zhang Hao said puzzledly: "I haven't heard of any constellation having meteor showers recently!"

"That's no ordinary meteor—" Lilith said in amazement, staring at the night sky, "I've never seen a meteor like this in my life." ”

"Isn't it an ordinary meteor?" Zhang Hao said suspiciously: "Green meteors are indeed rare, but if the meteorite contains a large amount of sodium, magnesium iron and other elements, it seems not surprising that it emits green light." ”

"Muggle science does solve a lot of problems, but these anomalous meteors are not among them. Lilith said faintly, "From those shooting stars, I felt some strange powers. ”

Zhang Hao was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "From such a distance, you can still detect those meteors?"

Shooting stars!

That's a meteor that doesn't know how high it is from the ground!

If he didn't know Lilith, Zhang Hao would definitely think she was bragging.

"I've seen meteor showers hundreds of times," Lilith glanced at Zhang Hao and said expressionlessly, "Only this time I feel different." ”

"Feel different?" Zhang Hao joked, "Is it because you're with me?"

The joke wasn't funny at all, it was clear from Lilith's face.

"These meteors give me heart palpitations," she whispered, "and they may not be as good on the inside as they are on the outside." ”

Zhang Hao stared at Lilith's face for a moment, and muttered, "Is it an alien? I don't know if aliens can magic...... What if aliens can do magic?

Lilith was speechless, she wanted to know this question as well.

The next day, a newspaper was delivered to Zhang Hao.

He looked at it for a moment and said to Lilith, "You feel right, there was something wrong with that meteor shower yesterday. ”

Lilith held a book to read, quiet as a statue, and there was no trace of curiosity on her perfect face.

Zhang Hao shrugged his shoulders and his gaze fell on the newspaper again.

"A huge crater has been found in Albania, and the air at the scene is red-hot, which is suspected to be one of the meteorite meteorite landing sites of yesterday...... The meteorite mysteriously disappeared, and huge footprints appeared at the scene, suspected of unknown magical animal traces...... The Ministry of Magic says it will track down the unknown magical beast and bring it under control before it can cause damage......"

That's all there is to the important information in the newspapers, almost all of which revolves around that huge crater.

Zhang Hao also muttered in his heart, he didn't pay attention to Lilith's words yesterday, but judging from this newspaper, it seems that something unusual is indeed going to happen.

As it stands, there is so little information about meteor showers that you can't figure it out if you want to explore it.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Hao put this matter behind him.

"Where are we going today?" he said, dropping the newspaper and turning his head, "Do you have any plans for this?"

"Let's go to the Louvre!" Lilith smiled expectantly, "a work of art at the pinnacle of humanity...... Hope to have the value of appreciation. ”

"Do you know art?"

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he felt a murderous aura attack, and he quickly changed his words: "Madam, I think you are the greatest work of art, why bother to look at those dead things again?"

"Don't all the celebrities like that?" Lilith said strangely, "Isn't it right to integrate into human society and learn from them?"

Zhang Hao was speechless for a moment, and could only secretly slander in his heart: "You don't like those ...... Why do you want to be a vassal and elegant......? I don't dislike you!
