Although the Philosopher's Stone looks ugly, its function is still very good.

In addition to his well-known ability to turn mercury into gold and make elixirs, he is actually useful for healing external injuries, but this function is a bit low-end compared to the first two.

Similarly, the Philosopher's Stone can be used to conjure other metals, but most wizards consider gold to be more precious, so they only value its ability to turn into gold.

He had not tried to change any metal, including Nicolamay, except for iron in his first experiments.

"Severus, I don't know what you want to do with it, but I still don't think the Philosopher's Stone is what you want, it's not as magical as you think." Dumbledore took a sip from his teacup, then frowned slightly.

After putting down the teacup helplessly, Dumbledore looked at Severus, who continued to look at the Philosopher's Stone, and said, "You'll know at my age, Severus, eternal life is not a good thing," he said with his head leaning over again, "especially this opportunistic way." ”

"Of course, I didn't mean to denigrate Nick, in fact, he was tired of his life now."

Severus still ignored Dumbledore's noise, he just wanted to study how the Philosopher's Stone was able to purify magic, as for immortality?

Severus, who was only in his early 20s, didn't need to think about it yet.

Besides, the Philosopher's Stone has achieved immortality at most, and it will still grow old.

And how long Severus, who has fused Avalon and received a huge amount of life replenishment, can live is really a question, maybe he can live to five or six hundred years old with these life forces alone, and he will remain young forever, which is really immortality.

This situation is known by referring to King Arthur!

So, Severus has no pursuit of this anymore.

What he was looking for now was strength, and the way to increase it was what Severus was more concerned about.

Finally, Nick Lemay showed Severus how to turn mercury into gold, which is not too miraculous, to be exact.

This change is more like the failed Transfiguration that Severus had guessed earlier, that is, the kind that cannot be recovered,

If it can't be restored, it becomes real gold!

As for how to make the elixir, this Nick Lemay did not demonstrate, and Severus did not bring it up.

Overall, there's not much to gain just by playing around for a while and watching a demo.

Dumbledore didn't elaborate on what flaws Nick had, but in Severus's opinion, it might be a lack of emotion, although Nicolame and his wife were doing well, they could still feel it, especially Severus could already feel the emotion.

From beginning to end, whether they were joking or enthusiastic, their emotions were always like a pool of stagnant water, without any fluctuations.

In other words, they are all "acting"!

I just don't know if this defect is because of the Philosopher's Stone or because he has lived too long, and it is inevitable that people will become emotionally apathetic after living for a long time, which is not something difficult to understand, but Severus has no interest in delving into it.

In the future, if you have the opportunity, you will have to experiment on your own, and the side effects of the Philosopher's Stone, which Dumbledore has been secretive, are more interesting to Severus than immortality.

The two had lunch with Nick, after which Nick took Dumbledore and Severus on a tour of Provence's famous beaches.

Even in winter, there is no shortage of tourists who swim and surf in the sea, and even Dumbledore wants to go down and experience it.

But luckily it was stopped by the owner of the beach.

As for Severus, he only followed the two from a distance, and he swore that he would never go out with Dumbledore again, especially to play.

You may be used to it at Hogwarts, but when you come out, especially when you compare it to the crisp bikini beauties on the shore, Dumbledore is too spicy!

In the end, Nick gave Severus a box on the occasion of the three of them saying goodbye, of course, not Eris's box, which had already been put away by Dumbledore.

It wasn't until he returned to Hogwarts that Severus had a chance to open it: inside was an old brass-trimmed book.

"Oh, it's it, I've always wanted to come, but Nick hasn't agreed to give it to me, he thinks I'm too frizzy and unsteady enough." Dumbledore said playfully, especially when he talked about "not being steady enough", and he winked at Severus.

It's a little unstable!

Vomit~~

Severus wanted to vomit a little, but he could only hold back.

He took out most of the books in the box, which were estimated to weigh seven or eight pounds, much heavier than ordinary books.

In addition to the inlaid brass on the cover, the inside of the book is also fixed with brass, which seems to have been reinforced later.

Inside is not straw paper, nor parchment, but a kind of bark that is smooth to the touch and has some familiar feeling.

Dumbledore was still sighing beside him, muttering "Why don't you give it to me", "Is it finally over" and so on.

"What the hell is this?" Severus endured it very hard, and he could only speak through gritted teeth.

"The Jewish Book of Abraham, as you should have heard, is known as the oldest magic book."

Dumbledore finally put away his joking expression and said quite seriously, "Nick has been studying this book for six hundred years, but he has only learned how to make the Philosopher's Stone. ”

He was silent for a moment, then continued, "I've read this book too, but, to be honest, it's hard to understand, only the alchemy part Nick taught me, so, you know, Nick and I discovered twelve uses of dragon blood, as for more, Nick and I don't know, but a few pictures in it are quite interesting." ”

As he spoke, Dumbledore took the book from Severus's hand, flipped to a certain page, pointed to a dragon gnawing at a tree, and said, "You see, this should be Nidhogg, and it should be a golden apple tree." ”

But Severus looked at the painting not so much as a "dragon" and felt more like a lizard, or a dinosaur, because it had no wings.

And the tree doesn't look out of the ordinary.

Dumbledore didn't explain anything, he just shrugged and turned and walked upstairs towards the headmaster's room, "However, you still have to be careful about keeping it, it is said that it contains the secret of the birth of the world," and after walking a few steps, Dumbledore suddenly turned around, "By the way, don't study too late tonight, we have something to do tomorrow." ”

"What are you going to do?" Severus had sworn not to go out with the old man, "Can't you go by yourself?" ”

"Oh, it's a castle where dark wizards gather, maybe Eris earlier, are you going to go?" Dumbledore just watched, and didn't mean to force it.

Severus: "Go!" As for the oath or something, I just thought about it, and I didn't even say no!

It's not really that Severus is weak, but because it's a good opportunity to increase his actual combat experience, and with Dumbledore by his side, it's still necessary to learn more from him.

When Dumbledore heard the answer, he smiled and walked away.

Severus: I have a little regret in my heart!
