Chapter 112: News from Nicol Lemay

"Luke, I think Snape must have been hurting me if I had a problem today, he had been looking at me in the morning. And it's the kind that comes out of nowhere. ”

"Also, I went to Hagrid's place today after the matter was done, and I heard him mention a man's name."

Harry nervously said to Luke, "It's Nicol Lemay. ”

He lowered his voice and said with a hint of mystery. It's as if the name itself represents some huge secret.

But Harry found that Luke didn't react at all. Still smiling shallowly, he only nodded lightly when he heard the name Nicol Lemay.

"I don't know who Nicol Lemay is, but I know that if we find this person, we'll be able to figure out what's hidden in that room."

Harry's face was full of excitement, and he was glad that his relentless efforts had finally made a breakthrough.

"Nick Lemay, a legendary alchemist born in France in the 14th century."

The smile on Luke's face retracted as he looked at Harry and spoke calmly.

And as he spoke, the expression on Harry's face froze.

In the most relaxed tone, Luke punctured his greatest doubts.

"His most famous contribution is said to have created the philosopher's stone, the philosopher's stone, and used it to successfully turn mercury into gold. As a result, he is also regarded as one of the greatest alchemists in Europe. In addition, it is said that he can use the Philosopher's Stone to live forever with his wife. ”

A cold wind blew in through the classroom window, carrying with it a withered yellow leaf that swayed and landed on the desk. Luke picked up the leaf and said with a smile, "And these are true. ”

"Whether it's turning a stone into gold, or immortality."

Harry's mouth still couldn't help but open after all. A look of shock was revealed. As a seemingly pure-blood family, he is actually a little wizard who has lived in the Muggle world since childhood. Turning stones into gold and immortality are still a bit shocking to him.

This seems to be one of the ultimate human pursuits.

And it's hard to believe that there are people who have achieved this ultimate pursuit.

"Don't be so surprised, Harry, it's not as common as you think." Luke put down the fallen leaf in his hand, "The method of making the Philosopher's Stone itself is known only to Nick Lemay. Although many people are greedy, no matter what method is used, more than 600 years have passed, and he is still the only one who knows how to make the Philosopher's Stone. ”

Even though he said that, there was silence between the two.

Even Luke, who knew about this matter for a long time, didn't mention it on weekdays, but when he mentioned it today, he was inevitably touched.

Such a temptation......

"Luke, in that case, the thing Quirrell wants to steal, hidden under that trapdoor, should be the Philosopher's Stone."

However, despite this speculation, Harry was still a little puzzled: "But why is such a treasure hidden here...... Nicol Lemay is French, isn't he? ”

Luke froze for a moment, then gave Harry a deep look.

Harry scratched his head in confusion, feeling as if he had said the wrong thing.

"I know the answer to this question, but if you think about it for yourself, you may be able to understand a lot of things." Luke looked at Harry calmly and asked, "Which do you want to choose?" ”

Harry scratched his head, frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll think about it for myself first, I really can't think of it, and then I'll ask you." ”

Luke is happy to see this happen.

"It's for the best."

Then Luke spoke again: "As for the Philosopher's Stone, don't think too much, even if we get it, it may not be of any good." ”

The puppet is not guilty, and the reason for his guilt is still very clear, although he is not a puppet, but the Philosopher's Stone is not a simple jade.

"Okay, that's it, don't tell anyone else about this news, this matter of the province will spread throughout Hogwarts in a few days."

With that, Luke got up and prepared to leave.

"Wait, Luke."

Harry quickly stood up and stopped Luke.

Luke looked back at Harry. Nervousness, shyness, embarrassment, gratitude, a multitude of emotions combined to give Harry a complex and subtle expression.

"Thank you...... I heard Draco say that today you asked him to go to Madame Hooch to stop the game. And we didn't decide the winner today, but we can fight again another day. ”

vertex

Harry was a little embarrassed, not only for his own problems, although all the problems were blamed on Snape, but as far as he was concerned, he couldn't tell if it was his own driving skills, or whether it was his broomstick.

"Maybe you should be more grateful to Draco, after all, he was the one who found out about your problem first."

Luke said with a light smile.

But Harry didn't laugh, just shook his head and said, "If it weren't for your instructions, he probably wouldn't have taken the initiative to say it." ”

"It seems to be common for questions like this to arise in Quidditch matches."

The late autumn wind blew again, bringing with it a chill.

What he said was flat, but what it was like in his heart, it was hard to say.

Luke didn't turn on his talent to see his emotional dust either. It doesn't make sense.

"If you don't like it, leave; If you like it, adapt it; If it's strong, change it. ”

Luke looked at Harry and said with a serious expression. After saying that, he didn't look at Harry's expression again, and just turned around and left the place.

Harry was left alone in a daze.

Pushing open the door of the classroom, I saw Taylor standing there. And she was visibly relieved when she saw Luke.

"Didn't you go back first? Been waiting here? ”

"It's not bad to sleep or eat." Taylor said calmly, then she looked at Luke and asked, "What did you say inside?" God mysterious. ”

Luke stretched out rather uncharacteristically, and then said, "Harry heard the name 'Nicol Lemay' from Hagrid, and we guess that the Philosopher's Stone is hidden under the trapdoor. ”

Luke could feel that the moment he said this, Taylor's breathing was a little heavier, and his face was involuntarily red.

'Philosopher's stone, turning stones into gold, immortality......'

Maybe that one can cure the disease, and it can cure my grandmother's illness." ’

'Live a long, long, long time...... A lot of money, too many counts......'

'One of the ultimate achievements of alchemy, which allows you to explore the cutting-edge technology of alchemy......

Countless thoughts surged through Taylor's mind in an instant. All of a sudden, longing, greed, and all kinds of emotions tickled in my heart.

At the same time, it seems that the reason is gradually lost.

But at this time, Taylor, who subconsciously raised his eyes, saw Luke's eyes as warm as spring water and as dark as a deep pool.

She shivered subconsciously, and then came to her senses.

With a bitter smile on her face, she said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I lost my temper." ”

The bright candlelight danced, pulling Taylor's shadow to tremble.

"No more sorry, it's a normal thing." Luke smiled, "In the face of something like this, being able to stay awake at all times is something that is wrong. ”

Either you are not old enough to be interested in these things, or you have a goal to go beyond these two things, and you are sure that you can do it under the current conditions.

Otherwise, almost no one would be able to refuse the Philosopher's Stone. It's not a matter of faith, the ancestors of mankind carved everything strange into their DNA. And the pursuit of immortality and turning stones into gold is undoubtedly one of the things that has been carved into it.

"But I didn't expect you to have such a big reaction, it's true."

Luke looked at Taylor with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.

The greater the demand, the greater the response. Taylor was on the verge of losing her mind just now, proving that she really needed this thing.

Taylor was silent for a long time, just shook his head and said: "It's useless, since it's placed here by Dumbledore, I don't dare to say that the Philosopher's Stone will be protected foolproof." But I don't think I'm able to get it, at least. ”

"Me too." Luke didn't ramble on this, "I'm not particularly interested in that thing, but I wouldn't say no if I could get it." ”

Then he smiled meaningfully and said, "So I can't get it either." ”

His words sent Taylor into a deeper silence until much later.

Opening the door and preparing to go to the cafeteria to find something to fill his stomach, Harry was startled when he saw the two people at the door.

"You're still there?"

Taylor seemed to be awakened suddenly, and raised his head suddenly, and the messy bangs lifted up for a moment, revealing a pair of eyes as blue as the sea and pure as the sky, and the face that was not opened, but already a little bit of a country and a city.

Harry saw Taylor's face without question, and then he froze.

Harry Potter, Yan Kong.

The person she liked in the original book, Qiu Zhang, is not obvious to the current second-grader, but by the time she was in the fifth grade, she was already the flower of the entire fifth grade.

Fleur Delacour, the school flower of the entire Beauxbatons, is incredibly beautiful in the original.

The last person to get married, Ginny Wess came. Although it feels like it's a strong push heroine.,But the description of the original book is also extremely beautiful.。

When Luke watched the movie in his previous life, he wondered why Harry had a crush on Hermione, but when a friend mentioned it, he said that Hermione in the original book was not pretty.

I guess this reason is probably correct.

"Ahem, pay attention to the image Harry."

Luke's soft cough and reminder came in his ears. Harry came to his senses, looked at Luke and Taylor with a blushing face, and bowed apologetically before running away.

Taylor looked at his back as he left, somewhat inexplicably.

"What's wrong with him?"

She asked Luke, a little puzzled.

Luke looked at Taylor and chuckled, "Aren't you ready to dress up?" ”

Taylor seemed to understand something, but he still seemed puzzled.

"There's no need for that."

After saying that, he walked in the other direction.

Luke looked at her back and didn't say much, quickly following.

He had thought that was the end of Nicol Lemay's affairs. He wouldn't take the initiative to look for the Philosopher's Stone, and correspondingly, he didn't think that the Philosopher's Stone would take the initiative to find him.

How can there be a pie in the sky?!

With that in mind, Luke spent a peaceful night.

And by the time I had breakfast the next day, things were wrong again.

Looking at the strange bird that had flown into the auditorium from the depths of the hallway, the students exclaimed and guessed who it was looking for.

And when they saw the location of the legendary magical beast 'Phoenix', they were not surprised at all, and even faintly disappointed.

"Sure enough, it's Gaunt."

"No surprises."

"Boredom ......"

But for the person in question, Luke, when he saw the phoenix, he was stunned for the first time.

"Fawkes?" Luke was a little surprised by the appearance of the phoenix. And when Fawkes circled a few times and landed in his own direction, he had a bad feeling.

Will something come out of nowhere to break his original plan again?

Fawkes landed on the table, then handed the letter in his mouth to Luke.

Hermione, Harry, Malfoy, Taylor, Fred, and George all gathered together to look at the man and bird in front of them.

"Is this a phoenix?"

Hermione looked at Fawkes in surprise, "It's the first time I've seen you." ”

"Me too." Taylor chimed in, but she knew who the phoenix belonged to.

"Legend has it that when the people of the Dumbledore family needed it, a phoenix would appear by their side and grow with them."

Fred looked at Fawkes, "This is what my father told me. ”

Of course, Luke knew all this, and he also knew that while this bird looked beautiful, it also had a lot of magic about it, and although it was not as dangerous as the basilisk, it was able to fight the basilisk head-on.

While there may be restraint, there are also magicalities such as teleportation, healing, and resurrection.

Of course, now is clearly not the time to discuss the saga of Phoenix.

Luke took the letter and looked at the words on the envelope with some confusion.

Then his doubts became more and more subtle.

Looking at the name of the person who wrote above, he couldn't figure out whether all this was a coincidence or an arrangement.

"What's wrong?"

Taylor, who was sitting next to him, saw that he looked strange, so he leaned over and looked at the letter.

Then her expression became a little strange as well.

"So coincidentally?"

Taylor said in a complicated tone.

"Who knows."

Luke said as he looked at the equally complicated opening of 'Nicol Lemay' on the envelope.

Then Luke got up and said to the crowd, "I'm sorry everyone, I have some personal matters to deal with. ”

Of course, everyone will not object, but just watch this Luke leave.

They could all sense that Luke seemed to be a little embarrassed...... Accurate?
