Rick was startled by Dumbledore's words, and the teacup held in mid-air hovered there, and he was stunned for a moment.

This is something that even Rowling doesn't know.

Rick didn't expect that he would know so easily, and he just asked Nicol Lemay just out of curiosity, just casually.

"That meteorite is the Philosopher's Stone?"

"That's right. It was because Nicol took it that the elixir of immortality refined with it was able to survive until now. Seeing Rick's surprise, Dumbledore nodded in confirmation. Rick's expression was as shocked as he had been when he knew about the secret.

"Master Lemay, why did you destroy the Philosopher's Stone?" This "melon" is too hard, which makes Rick a little indigestion, but fortunately he feels that eating some more "dessert" will help his digestion.

"My wife and I have survived so long thanks to the Philosopher's Stone. Immortality sounds wonderful. But it has become an ordeal for us. In order to get rid of it, we have to give up the alluring immortality and destroy it. In this way, we can have a full life like ordinary people. ”

Nicol Lemay didn't look at Dumbledore and Rick, but stared at the fire in the fireplace that was about to go out.

He and his wife have lived in this world for too long, too many things, and they should enjoy the rest of their lives.

Listening to Nicol Lemay's words, Rick also felt that it made sense. He has lived for too long, witnessed many historical changes, and has already seen through everything in the world and achieved a state of no desire and no desire.

However, Rick still regrets that Nicol Lemay destroyed the Philosopher's Stone.

"Master Lemay, I say a possibility, maybe it has other magical functions that have not been discovered? Isn't it a bit too arbitrary for you to destroy it like this? ”

For a mysterious meteorite from outside the sky, Rick didn't want to believe that all its abilities were to allow wizards to refine the elixir of life, and it must have other abilities that had not been discovered by wizards.

"This..."

After hearing Rick's words, Dumbledore and Nicol Lemay's pupils widened and they fell into deep thought. In fact, Nicol Lemay also imagined whether the Philosopher's Stone had other abilities, but in his long life of 600 years, he had spent his whole life studying the Philosopher's Stone without discovering any other functions of the Philosopher's Stone.

Therefore, he concluded that the most powerful ability of the Philosopher's Stone was to create an elixir, and there was no other ability. If it were an ordinary wizard standing in front of him and saying something like that.

He would have laughed contemptuously and chased the wizard away. But Rick is different, he is a genius alchemist who can create the Pandora console, and Nicol Lemay has to look at it again.

"Rick, Nicol has been studying the Philosopher's Stone for six hundred years. If there were any other powers in the Philosopher's Stone, Nicol would have found out. So it doesn't make sense for you to ask this question anymore. ”

Dumbledore, who was sitting on the side, put down the cup in his hand and said to Rick with his eyes narrowed.

In Dumbledore's mind, Nicol Lemay was the world's greatest alchemist, who witnessed and participated in the development of the modern wizarding world. If he couldn't discover the other abilities of the Philosopher's Stone, no one would be able to study the Philosopher's Stone anymore.

"Albus, I have indeed been studying the Philosopher's Stone for six hundred years, and I have indeed not been able to study the other abilities of the Philosopher's Stone except for making the elixir. But...... I seem to see a possibility, maybe someone can study the other abilities of the Philosopher's Stone, explore the truth about the Philosopher's Stone, and find out what it really is. ”

Nicol Lemay shook his head, his sparse gray hair fluttering in the air. He began to deny the answers he had received in the past six hundred years, and the conclusion that the Philosopher's Stone could no longer have other abilities.

There is no other reason.

The Rick in front of him is Nicol Lemay's possibility, hope. Ever since he got the Pandora console, Nicol Lemay has been curious about who made it sacred.

When he meets Rick, he learns from Rick what his purpose is and how he made the Pandora console. The withered ashes in his heart began to spark.

Perhaps the young man in front of him can find other uses for the Philosopher's Stone and discover its truth.

saw that the two bigwigs had a disagreement because of their own words. Although Rick felt an inexplicable joy in his heart, he still opened his mouth to play a round, wanting to end the topic, after all, the Philosopher's Stone had been destroyed, and now saying those words was just an afterthought.

"I was so reckless that I forgot to think that Master Lemay had possessed the Philosopher's Stone for so long, and as the most powerful alchemy in the world, you could no longer develop the other functions of the Philosopher's Stone. That means that the Philosopher's Stone has no other abilities that can be discovered by wizards. Besides, the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed. There is no point in talking about it anymore. ”

Rick said something against his will, as a traverser, he sincerely did not think that the Philosopher's Stone only had the function of making the elixir of life, but now the Philosopher's Stone was gone. He could only bury this thought in the depths of his heart.

“......”

Seeing Rick's broad expression, Nicol Lemay and Dumbledore looked at each other, as if they were communicating some kind of information with their eyes.

Seeing the two bigwigs looking at each other, Rick also understood what information the two of them were exchanging, but he was just a junior and couldn't interrupt them very rudely, so he picked up the teacup on the table and continued to taste Nicol Lemay's famous tea.

After a long time, Nicol Lemay and Dumbledore no longer looked at each other, and the two of them seemed to have reached some kind of decision. Then he moved his gaze to Rick's body.

"Ahem, there's something. I want to tell you. In fact, the Philosopher's Stone was not destroyed? ”

Nicol Lemay coughed a few times, and in his flat, hoarse voice told Rick a shocking truth.

"What? Ahem, ahem! ”

Rick, who was drinking tea when Nicol Lemay told him that the Philosopher's Stone had not been destroyed, couldn't accept this fact for a while and choked on the tea in his mouth.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape. I didn't expect the Philosopher's Stone to be there ”

Rick hurriedly apologized to the two bigwigs for his gaffe.

"Haha! This is the fake news that Nicol and I put out, so as to prevent those with bad intentions from continuing to peep at the Philosopher's Stone. Nicol has just told you that the Philosopher's Stone is an alien object, a meteorite. In fact, at first we wanted to destroy it, but by all means, it was intact, and we had no choice but to continue to hide it. ”

Seeing Rick's surprised expression, Dumbledore stroked his beard and laughed as he explained.
