Headmaster's Office at Hogwarts.

"So, it looks like I won?"

Amid the crackling of the fireplace and the explosion of tongues of fire, Elena carefully examined the Philosopher's Stone in her hand, the bright red color reflected in her lake-blue eyes, showing a very bewitching and dangerous crimson light.

The Philosopher's Stone, an alchemical artifact that is said to bring people back to life and permanently change matter at the atomic level.

Successive magical governments and known owners of the Philosopher's Stone have been secretive about the process of the Philosopher's Stone, and centuries have passed, and people don't even know what the raw materials for refining the Philosopher's Stone are.

Or, to put it more accurately, no one wants to believe a speculation based on equivalent exchange.

Even Tom Riddle, who longed for immortality to the extreme, did not choose to seek this path, but devoted himself to the study of dangerous Horcrux magic, which is obviously much easier to manufacture than refining philosopher's stones.

War is always the easiest double-edged sword to promote the renewal of civilization, and this is equally true everywhere.

Just as the non-magical world "evolved the technology tree wrongly" during World War II, the wizarding world has obviously had a "false evolution" in this regard, but unlike the non-magical governments that entered the "forbidden realm of mankind" and began to explore, wizards almost unanimously chose to seal this knowledge.

"Then according to the previous agreement, you will satisfy a little curiosity of mine in the future. As for this Philosopher's Stone, I think it's best for you to keep it, after all, there are too few people in this world who can moderate it with reason. ”

"As for the doubts in your mind, I can try to answer some of them now—"

Elena took one last look at the Philosopher's Stone in her hand and put it back into the hands of the Great Alchemist without hesitation.

"You must have heard of the Prophet, Mr. Lemay, I mean...... The kind that has a field of view. ”

"Well, I knew a little bit about it when I was younger. ”

Nicolame looked thoughtfully at the Philosopher's Stone that had returned to his hand, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"So you want to tell me that you are the legendary prophet, because you foresaw a terrible catastrophe, so you plan to use the advantage of the prophet's foresight to rely on us old men who are about to enter the earth to change the future?"

In the wizarding world, in addition to the common magical abilities, there are also some extremely rare magical bloodlines.

There are some wizards who are born to talk to animals, most notably the descendants of Salazar Slytherin.

Some wizards have an innate ability to see into the future, they can see through dreams, the shape of tea leaves, tarot cards or crystal balls, and the most famous prophet in English wizarding is Kassandra Trelawney, the ancestor of Sybil Trelawney, who is now Hogwarts Divination Professor.

Among the prophets, there is occasionally a very rare talent, they can directly "see" the future, rather than making vague predictions through divination, which is also the most enviable characteristic of the Trelawney family.

"But that alone may not be enough......"

Nicol Lemay paused for a few seconds and looked at Elena with a smirk.

Even when Kassandra Trelawney was alive, people didn't rely entirely on her prophecies, let alone the tarot card prophecy, which was researched by Nicol and a few old friends, and it was not convincing to him.

As the only remaining great alchemist in the world today, Nicol Lemay is not the kind of wizard who can be easily convinced.

While he was certainly interested in Elena's world where magic and science merged, for a long-lived wizard like him, he would weigh the amount of effort he put in if he didn't have the motivation and reason to do so.
