Chapter 174: Give It to Me?
Hearing Dumbledore tell the truth, Rick nodded, thinking to himself.
The Philosopher's Stone is an alien object, a meteorite composed of unknown matter, and its abilities are too mysterious for a powerful wizard like Dumbledore to destroy it.
Jiang is still old and spicy, and he actually hides such a deep secret.
Looking at the smiles of the two bigwigs, Rick couldn't help but feel that he was still too tender, and actually believed that they had revealed the information from the outside world, and the Philosopher's Stone had been destroyed.
"Graves, I've given you my life's work. I don't think you're going to refuse what I thought was Lao Tzu's request, would you? ”
At this time, Nicol Lemay spoke, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his amiable expression became serious.
"Master Lemay, if you have any orders, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you complete it."
Seeing that Nicol Lemay suddenly became serious, Rick hurriedly sat up straight and said with a solemn expression.
As soon as we met today, Master Nicol Lemay handed over to himself the alchemy experience he had gained all his life, although he thought that he had no alchemy talent, but Master Nicol Lemay was optimistic about him. This gave Rick a new boost to his self-confidence.
Just saying that these alchemy experiences are a great gift, and those alchemists outside want to get a word of guidance from Nicol Lemay. Trying to get Nicol Lemay's alchemical experience is wishful thinking.
Now that Rick has obtained these precious alchemy experiences, not to mention Nicol Lemay's request, he said ten, and Rick dared to agree.
"Hehe, you don't need to do anything outside of your ability. I've got it figured out, and I'm going to give you the Philosopher's Stone. Help me save. ”
After listening to Rick's sincere assurance, Nicol Lemay's serious expression suddenly disappeared like a Sichuan opera face, and he regained his amiable appearance again, and told Rick his request.
"What? Let me keep the Philosopher's Stone!! Master Lemay, you're not kidding, are you? Is it appropriate to give such an important item to someone who has only met once? ”
Hearing Nicol Lemay say that he would give him the Philosopher's Stone, Rick was not excited, it was fake.
It's the Philosopher's Stone, the most amazing thing in the world. Rick believes that the mystery of the Philosopher's Stone is more magical than the bow and arrow he received from the Centaur King.
The bow and arrow only touched on the realm of Greek mythology, but the Philosopher's Stone was an extraterrestrial meteorite. It is most likely an item of some kind of mysterious lord of the outside world.
Its mystery is several dimensions higher than that of earth mythology.
Rick was surprised, but he looked shocked and spoke to Nicol Lemay again.
"Hehe, don't be surprised. I'm serious. Although you and I have only met for the first time, I believe that Albus has the vision to trust you to become a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Then I will also unconditionally believe that you will fulfill my trust. And I'm very optimistic about your talents, and I'll be very happy if one day you can peek into other secrets in the Philosopher's Stone. ”
Nicol Lemay smiled, grasped the wand on the table with his shriveled hand, and waved it in the air a few times, only to see the flames in the fireplace beside them suddenly turn green, and a swirling space-time gate appeared in front of the three of them.
As Nicol Lememo chanted a spell, a palm-sized stone box flew out of it and landed on the table between the three of them. The stone box fell steadily, the lid of the box was gently opened, and a jewel-like irregular stone appeared in front of everyone.
This is the Philosopher's Stone that all wizards want.
If it weren't for the vague energy fluctuations emitted by the Philosopher's Stone in the stone box, Rick would probably have thrown it away as a useless crystal.
"This is the Philosopher's Stone?"
Looking at the ordinary crystal stone, Rick's powerful heart still broke the defense, he looked at the magic stone in surprise, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, from now on, it will be in your safekeeping. Feel free to study it. If I can work out other effects while I'm still alive. I will be very happy. ”
Nicol Lemay, re-closing the stone box, pushed it in front of Rick and motioned for him to put it away.
"Master Lemay, why don't you use him to make some more elixirs, so that chances are, you will witness its other magical abilities with your own eyes."
Rick swallowed, carefully holding it in his hands. Suppressing his burning urge to discover the truth of his mystery, he slipped the Philosopher's Stone into a small leather pouch around his waist.
Not only was his cowhide pouch enlarged by the Traceless Stretching Charm, but it also had a lot of defenses and concealment to prevent others from opening it without Rick's consent.
If someone tries to destroy the pouch, the pouch senses the danger and activates the shapeshifting spell inside it, moving itself to a very safe location.
Of course, with Rick's ability, he can't make such a high-security waist bag. The maker of this fanny pack is, of course, Rick's best friend, Cod Twelvetree.
It was a gift he gave to Rick at Rick's Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
"No, my wife Perenal and I have decided never to use the elixir of life again, and we will go with the flow until the end of our lives. If you can really find out the secret of the Philosopher's Stone, you can come to my graveyard and offer me a white rose. Perenal's favorite is the white rose. ”
Hearing Rick's suggestion, Nicol Lemay smiled indifferently, shook his head, and rejected his proposal. Although immortality is beautiful, the soul will still grow old. He and his wife were tired of such a life.
They only hope to complete the last step of being human, death.
"Rick, you don't have any psychological pressure. Nicol, he entrusted you with the Philosopher's Stone. You've been talking to me for a long time. We all agree that the Philosopher's Stone can create more magical items in your hands. You will lead the wizarding world to new heights. Your Pandora console is fun.
No, it's the magic web that your Pandora console loads is very interesting. I believe that the invention of the magic net was not created by you on a whim. It must have far-reaching significance.
Right, Rick. ”
Dumbledore put down the teacup in his hand and advised Rick not to be burdened by keeping the Philosopher's Stone. At the same time, he reveals the deepest secrets he has discovered for Rick hidden inside Pandora's console.
"Hehe, Headmaster Dumbledore, he is indeed the greatest wizard in this world, plus the world's greatest alchemist, Master Nicol Lemay. This little secret of mine is exposed at a glance. ”
