Moments later, at the door of the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

Xenophilius Lovegood stood a little nervously in front of the stone beast, occasionally turning his head to look down the stairs below, as if to see Luna through the floor, but he knew in his heart that Ravenclaw students rarely came to this level.

Especially at this time and age, students are either in the classroom or huddled in the library or break room.

Just as Mr. Lovegood hesitated to sneak downstairs to see if his cutest little moon was getting used to living in Ravenclaw, there was a slight sound of footsteps on the steps not far away.

As the sound of footsteps became clearer, a silvery white little derpy appeared in his field of vision.

Xenophilius's eyes lit up, and a solemn look quickly emerged.

"It's finally here. ”

Guided by Gilderoy Lockhart, Elena made her way to her destination unimpeded.

And in the process, she discovered a small pattern, the mischievous steps in the castle seem to have another layer of logic - when the professors are walking, they do not trigger some sagging, slipping, and disappearing steps.

When you think about it, it's not something that is hard to understand.

At least in Elena's memory, whether it's Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, or Professor Dumbledore...... The Hogwarts staff never seemed to be jumping up and down the stairs or frowning as they counted the steps.

Of course, only for formal professors, not for special people like her, who are outside the rules.

Perhaps, as she had guessed, Hogwarts Castle was not just a magical dead thing, and that there might be something like a core hub somewhere in the castle, which in some way served as a simple "central computer".

Energy, materials, algorithms – these are the three most important constraints of the future world.

If you just liberate the first two, the benefits will only be shortened development time, rather than essentially disruptive change. After all, there is a limit to life, and before individual power can support a civilization, the direction of the integration of the magical world and the non-magical world must be based on these three directions.

Needless to say, whether it's ghosts, portraits, or Hogwarts castles......

The magical civilization has accumulated thousands of years of wealth, and all the knowledge, insight, wisdom, and art are like gifts specially prepared for her, and she has too many directions to enjoy and study at this important innovation node of human civilization.

And Hogwarts Castle is undoubtedly the most delicious and important of them all.

However, before that, she had a more suitable subject for research - [SCP-017-03]

Hogwarts and the wizarding world have given it knowledge, life, and magic, and now it is time for it to contribute to the world, the law of the oldest druids and the truth of this world.

Casually glancing at the two magic stone statues that had been out of the way to the headmaster's office at Lockhart's command, Elena gathered her thoughts and followed Lockhart and Xenophilius into the familiar square room.

Dumbledore stood up from his chair and waved his hand.

A golden-red curtain hung down from the portraits of the previous principals at the same time, and with the sound of the wooden door of the office closing, Newt and Lemay, who were sitting on the sofa in the room, also stopped talking and turned their heads to look at the door.

On the mahogany square table were seven sets of tea sets, and the light smoke rising from them was obviously freshly brewed.

Tut...... Seven sets......

It's funny –

Elena glanced at everyone in the room, walked directly to the phoenix's bird shelf, and in the eyes of this beautiful golden-red bird, she skillfully grabbed a handful of crispy and fragrant small fish and rice and put it in the palm of her hand, and raised her eyebrows.

"This is different from what I said before, I thought you were all done talking about before. ”

"If it's a matter of schedule, then it's probably my side that I'm delayed, as a few hundred years old, I'm really not that sensitive in terms of time, but Dumbledore said that it might be more appropriate to wait for you to give a full introduction. ”

Nicol Lemay looked at the silver-haired little witch curiously, smiling as he explained.

He didn't expect that as the oldest living alchemist in the wizarding world today, he would once again receive the most difficult invitation in his life at the age of six hundred and sixty-six—second only to the shock of his first encounter with the Philosopher's Stone.

There are three main reasons for this:

The first was the "Hyperion" that crossed his knowledge and had never heard of.

Secondly, the forces involved this time are also too dreamy. In the civilized world, knowledge is the most valuable wealth and power, and elves, wizards, and Muggles, which can almost be said to condense the joint action of all civilizations in the world today.

And the most important thing is that the person who contributed to all this is nothing more than a mixed-race girl who has just turned eleven.

"You seem to have a lot of things to ask me, but please wait a minute......"

Elena walked slowly to the long table, picked up a cup of black tea, and blew softly, "Didn't you notice that there was one person missing from this room, don't you want to know who that person is first......

From the moment she entered the principal's office, the sight that Scamander and Lemay looked at the same time said a lot.

The tea set that Dumbledore had prepared was also well informed, and it was clear that at the first meeting of the Foundation's O5 Council, she needed to solve more than just the trivial "experiment" tonight.

"Guess some. ”

Nicol Lemay exchanged a glance with Newt Scamander, looking at Elena with a blazing gaze.

"But I'm more curious now about what kind of 'hope' will make him break his promise and reappear in the wizarding world, and as for that question in your mouth, isn't it already sitting there?"

"So...... I hate you guys with keen senses—"

In a grumbling, the air on the edge of the bookshelf behind Dumbledore gradually twisted and shattered, Gellert Grindelwald stood up with a cold face, walked to the long table with a big grin, and took a shallow sip of a cup of black tea.

"Haven't you thought about it, wouldn't it be very embarrassing if you guessed wrong?"

And with his appearance, except for Gilderoy Lockhart, no one in the entire room showed a look of surprise.

"As one of the most prominent wizards in the world today, Mr. Grindelwald, your aura is so dazzling that unless Dumbledore suddenly splits into two people, I really can't imagine a reason for two magic torches in this room. ”

Nicol Lemay turned his head, looked at the original Dark Lord with interest, and replied in a calm tone.

"As for Aberforth, he is markedly much weaker, even the young Mr. Scamander is stronger than he—"

"It's you—Gellert Grindelwald......"

Newt Scamander smiled bitterly, it was the first time in so many years that he had heard the evaluation of "young", not to mention, when he was about to be a hundred years old, he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would be reduced to a relatively basic combat power again.

However, on the other hand, Grindelwald's appearance also cut off the last illusion in his heart.

Until then, since the two had been working in different fields, he and Grindelwald had never been in the same room as face-to-face as they were now, and Newt even wondered if the original Dark Lord was still self-imprisoned in Nürmungard.

"Long time no see, Mr. Scamander, thank you for your attention—"

Gellert Grindelwald picked up the teacup in his hand, staggered around, raised his eyebrows to look at Newt, his eyes flashed with a hint of dangerous banter, and deliberately whispered in a slow tone,

"If you're going to wave your wand, I'd suggest you'd better think about it - at least for now, your side doesn't have an advantage in terms of strength, environment, or numbers, so ......"

"So, we're here today to talk about the conditions. ”

Nicol Lemay shook his head slightly, and took a small box of pure gold from his bosom.

And in the center of the box, lying quietly was a crimson stone, the Philosopher's Stone from Parasarsus.

Albus Dumbledore, Gellert Grindelwald, Newt Scamander...... You are the most gifted wizard I've ever seen in hundreds of years, and either one of you can easily influence the world, and if you join forces......"

Nicol Lemay pressed his index finger to the Philosopher's Stone and looked around at the wizards in the room.

"Destruction, or creation, now it's up to you to decide—"

Accompanied by the voice of the old alchemist, the Philosopher's Stone suddenly bloomed with a demonic red light, exuding a terrifying aura.

"What do you mean, Mr. Lemay?"

Elena's eyes changed slightly, put down the little fish in her hand and stared at Nicol Lemay, and asked in an innocent tone.

"By the way, a little bit of knowledge, I was born in 1326 A.D., ......"

Nicol Lemay turned his head with a smile, looked at Elena thoughtfully, and said meaningfully.

"If I'm not mistaken, that's the same explanation I gave to 'The Magician' hundreds of years ago when the old lads and I spread the deck, right- my dear, Miss Zero? If I'm not mistaken. ”

The Philosopher's Stone, or the Philosopher's Stone.

As the most esoteric and mysterious being in the realm of ancient magic alchemy, its function is not limited to turning any metal into pure gold, or creating an elixir of life—in a sense, it means infinite manifestation.

Even a small piece of Philosopher's Stone contained enough energy to raze Hogwarts to the ground.

Needless to say, he can use this power to take the initiative to help those 'Flowers of Hope' and open the door to a new world."

On the contrary, if the hope and justice of this world have fallen, then Nicol Lemay can at least completely extinguish the source before darkness descends - as one of the alchemists of the Philosopher's Stone and the ancestor of European alchemy, Nicol Lemay can be said to be one of the very few wizards in this world who know how to let this energy out.

At the same time, this is also the confidence that he went to Hogwarts alone to negotiate terms.
