Chapter 291: Everything Has a Price, Everything Has a Bargaining Chip

Eternal life, a realm that mortals should not set foot in. This should belong to the deity's own reserve.

However, in the wizarding world, everyone knows that there is one person who has broken through the constraints of the gods, and that is Nicol Lemay, who is also the only one who has stolen the powers of the gods.

Everyone was envious, and when Nicol was young, there were also many people who thought about getting the Philosopher's Stone from his hands. However, no one was able to succeed in the follow-up process, and many more people returned in vain, and even fell into some crises due to certain circumstances afterwards.

Everyone doesn't say it on the surface, but they all know it in their hearts. Something must have sheltered Nicol Lemay behind it. And this force still has enough strength to make everyone go home.

Of course, everyone is also watching here, looking forward to whether Nicol Lemay can live forever.

As a result, they felt excited and uncomfortable at the same time.

Nicol Lemay is a man of his age who has always lived and survived. But the immortal Luke has accumulated more and more power, and the weight he occupies is also increasing, so it is difficult to do it directly.

Meantime...... Nicol's appearance is becoming more and more visible. The feeling of eternal life may not be as happy as it feels.

So except for those old people who are about to die, basically no one will worry about the Philosopher's Stone.

And now, Luke knows that the legendary Big Four should all be able to live forever.

Nicol's immortality was so flawed. And what about the Big Four?

Is the Big Four's method of immortality really much better than the Philosopher's Stone pursued by countless alchemists?

They are geniuses...... But it is difficult for people to rebel against the sky.

"Your flaws are ......"

Luke asked tentatively.

"I don't know about the others. You've found out about my flaws. There's no way I'll be able to change back into human form. Or rather...... There's no way I'm going to be a wizard. ”

The lion was lying in front of Luke, much taller than a normal lion, so he could easily make eye contact with Luke even if he was lying on his stomach.

"When I transform into various animals, I can have the magic resistance and strength of a dragon. But when I forcibly turn back into a human, I will become weak, like a baby. ”

"It was also extremely painful, and at the beginning, I wondered if there was a way to change it. But then I realized that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't change myself back to the way I was. ”

"Even if I wanted to die as a human being, I couldn't do it."

When he said this, the lion's tone was only low, and there was no deeper remorse. Apparently. Although the current situation made him a little dissatisfied. But that doesn't mean he can't accept the status quo at all. Or rather, he hasn't given up yet.

An immortal person spends the rest of his time restoring his human body and perfecting his eternal life, which is a bit rushing.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

But Luke still had the worst in mind.

If an immortal person is left with the idea of ending his own life for the rest of his immortal life, it has to be said that there will be some irony.

A lot of things flashed through Luke's mind for a moment. The lion on the opposite side obviously understood Luke's thoughts, and after showing a humane smile, he said, "Calm down." Despite all these flaws, to be honest, only those of us can say such things. ”

Whether immortality is a good thing or not is not something that this group of short-lived species should consider. For those who want to pursue immortality, what are the defects after immortality?

When Luke heard this, he also laughed bitterly.

He didn't have the slightest pursuit of immortality. In his previous life, he had a good life, but thinking about living that life for hundreds or thousands of years made him feel bored.

I knew how tired Luke was now. Such a worrying and laborious day really feels better than dying early.

"Other people's methods of immortality are certainly flawed. The method of eternal life was a subject of competition between the four of us at that time. Of course, there is also a lot of help for each other. For example, when my method of eternal life was perfected, Salazar gave me a potion of assistance. If it weren't for this potion, I wouldn't have succeeded. ”

When the lion said this, he could be regarded as to dispel Luke's desire for eternal life to some extent. Luke was also his descendant anyway, and he certainly didn't want to see Luke jump into the pit. He knew very well that the immortal life law of the four of them was a pit.

"Unless you don't have a choice. I think if you want to prolong your life, it's better to find another way. Of course...... You are still a child, there is no need to worry about longevity. ”

The lion's shoulders shrugged and said with a relaxed expression, "Seriously, maybe you don't want to live after you reach a certain age." ”

"Now that I've worked hard to gain eternal life, it's a matter of two things whether I'm willing to cut myself off."

The corners of Luke's mouth twitched twice as he heard this. I feel that what this ancestor said is indeed a little bit different from what people say.

"So...... Ancestor, can you give me this method of eternal life? ”

Luke thought about it, but still licked his face and said to Gryffindor with a smile.

The lion looked at Luke with disdain: "Your shameless posture is really a bit of my feeling. Just kicked my table and was about to turn my face with me, and now the ancestors are called? ”

Luke smiled and didn't speak.

He can see that Gryffindor is not fettered at all, and he is purely a solo player. He doesn't care about the ridicule of others, nor does he care about the flattery of others. Of course, there are three people in addition to the Big Four. Especially Slytherin.

Of course, when he thought of this, Luke also looked at the surrounding loot. I'm afraid that before Gryffindor grew up, all the feelings were here.

Now, they can only be a tool of remembrance, to give Gryffindor a sense of their humanity. But it was never recovered.

"I called you over this time, mainly because I noticed that you had the aura of Salazar on you, and I just asked you to come here to get a little bit of information about him."

The lion put his head on the folded paws and said, "Give me some news, and let me see if you can satisfy me." ”

Luke nodded, even if it wasn't for the method of immortality, a simple breakthrough in Transfiguration was enough to make Luke put down his face. Or the inheritance of the Big Four, which one he is quite jealous of, but any one can make ripples of greed in his heart.

Luke took a deep breath and recounted all the things that had happened in the secret room before.

The lion lowered his head and listened to Luke's words, not saying a word.

The story wasn't long, and after a few minutes of talking, Luke confided everything about the secret room.

It's necessary to hide it from others, but hide it from Gryffindor about Slytherin. More or less unnecessary.

After listening to Luke's story, Gryffindor was silent for a long time, then smiled, "I guess it's not Salazar himself who is talking to you...... After all, you also said that he has too many thoughts and souls. I can't guess who is talking to you in the back. Who the hell is it. ”

Luke already had a guess about this.

But after hearing it for so long, Hermione still didn't understand it. Her habit is to ask questions if she doesn't understand.

"Why? When I met Lord Slytherin's mindfulness in the Chamber of Secrets before, he was still in great shape. ”

Hermione thought back to the translucent figure in the chamber. Although the posture is arrogant, the tone is gloomy. But given Luke's face, Slytherin's mindfulness was kind to both Taylor and Hermione.

The lion was not angry, and said with a smile: "Ha, little girl, let me ask you, what do you think of my state?" ”

Hermione was tempted to say yes. But think about it, a human being, but not a human being. Look at it with a philosophical way of thinking. I'm afraid that's not good.

So Hermione didn't say anything, just shook her head.

"That's right! You see this is what I am in this state. Salazar's method of immortality is much more problematic than mine. Split the soul and recreate the memory. Even if such a thing allowed him to use his biotechnology to create a body without wear and tear, it would not make sense. ”

"Able to have a logical conversation with Luke. I don't believe in this kind of thing. ”

"What Helga can't do, Salazar can't do, even if he is talented."

What the lion said was categorical, but he was really qualified to say it.

After all, everyone is a person of the same level, and no one is better than the other.

Seeing that Hermione stopped talking, the lion's gaze turned back to Luke's again, and he shook his head and said, "No hurry. You still have a long time to live. I'm afraid I'll have a longer time. When you really need it, come back to me and ask me for this method. ”

"I know what you're thinking, but I want to take my stuff for my own gain. I can't say yes. ”

The lion snorted and said calmly, "Not everyone is worthy of my methods. ”

Luke touched the back of his head. He had expected that. After all, this eye is above the top, and it is better to let him die than to count on him to give those mediocre people a chance to live forever.

"You should have something else you want, though."

Gryffindor looked at Luke, who was a little disappointed, and said with a smile, "I think you need my ideas for developing talent at that time." ”

Luke suddenly looked right, this was what he needed most.

It's not that he doesn't have the idea of development, but Gryffindor's experience with talent development will certainly allow him to climb on the shoulders of giants. Doing more with less is a humble statement.

"That's fine. Seriously, I didn't expect this talent to be inherited......" The lion glanced at Luke with some meaning, "I don't dare say anything else." At least in the research direction of blood fusion, you should be Salazar's greatest work. ”

No one likes to hear that. Hermione couldn't help frowning after hearing this. But Luke's expression was rather steady. No one likes to be treated as a work of art. This is completely disqualified from being a human being.

However, what the other party said was also true, and Luke had no way to refute it.

"This talent, before I awakened, I had not heard of anyone else possessing. And after me, before you, I haven't seen anyone else have. ”

"Helping you, it's a little selfish on my part. I don't have any ideas for further research now. I want to see if you have any new research ideas in a thousand years. ”

Luke smiled and said, "I understand, thank you." ”

But as soon as the words of thanks were uttered, he saw some schadenfreude on the lion's face.

"I'm not going to pass on the memories to you directly, it's too complicated. I'm not good at this Chinese thing, it's easy to hurt you. If you have Luo Yinna, you can also ask her to do it for you. ”

Luke had a feeling that this was definitely not the real reason. Although the manipulation of memory is strong and weak. But it's not that hard to separate a part of the memory.

The Meditation Basin was developed to read these memories. These memories are relatively common in the wizarding world. Merely...... The danger is not low. There are not many people who dare to directly use their wands against their heads to draw their memories.

"I originally prepared a small gift, and you can get it if you do what I tell you to do."

Luke's face changed.

The banter on the lion's face became more and more obvious.

"So guess now, where is the little gift I gave you?"

Luke looked at the overturned table. An inkwell that has been streamed into an empty bottle. There was also a white quill lying on the ground, already stained with dust, and white paper that was wet with ink.

He took out the wand in his hand and waved it: "Fix it as before." ”

However, there was no half-reaction.

Luke closed his eyes in pain.

The lion in front of him laughed unscrupulously. Sounds really exciting.

After a while, the lion spoke, "All right, little one, don't play it." I'll get you another one. But as you know, it's not very convenient to use magic right now. You'll probably have to wait a few days, and I'll give it to you later. ”

Luke smiled bitterly, he really wasn't all pretending. Although knowing that it certainly does not affect the cost. But he also had some remorse. If you get angry, you get angry, there's really no need to take something out of your anger.

It's still too much.

But at this point, he could only nod and thank you.

"Don't thank me. You should know. Although it can't be said to be a complete transaction. But we both gave the chips. ”

"So don't even feel like you owe me anything. I don't need the gratitude of a little imp like you yet. ”

With a nonchalant smile on his face, the lion looked at the boy opposite him and said, "I don't know what you're dreaming about, pursuing, or plotting, but I hope it's a big enough thing." ”

"If you're stingy, don't say it's my descendant outside."
