After getting off the train at King's Cross Station, Brie and Draco parted ways and headed to Diagon Alley alone, it was already dusk, and Brie had to see what kind of shop Draco had helped him find.

Diagon Alley –

A few more steps next to the Ollivanders wand shop, a two-story hut suddenly appeared in front of Brie's eyes, this is the shop arranged by Draco, Brie took out the contract, and soon the barrier of the shop disappeared, and the quaint wooden door opened, welcoming Brie in.

Brie pulled out his wand, which he hadn't used for a long time, and walked into the shop, which was very large and had been cast a Traceless Stretching Charm, which could hold a lot of items, and it was also very clean, and it looked like it had been cleaned recently.

"It should have been arranged by Draco, little one."

Brie was ready to clean up, but it didn't look like it was necessary.

Brie nodded in satisfaction and quickly walked up the stairs to the upper floor, and to Brie's surprise, there was a passage to the back in the hallway, and behind it was a nice little garden, also cast by the Traceless Stretching Charm.

On the second floor, there was a partitioned dwelling for Brie to rest, and of course, this would be Brie's laboratory, and he could use his notes to go back to the corner tower or the courtyard outside London.

"Nicol, move something."

Brie took out the notes and connected to the Corner Tower, and Nicol and Ver soon began to move things as well, moving everything from the first floor of the Corner Tower.

"Is this Diagon Alley?" With the snake in tow, Verr slowly climbed up to the windowsill on the second floor, and looked down, and said curiously, "Is this the wizard's bazaar?" ”

Nicol snorted.

"The stinking snake that I didn't see."

With that, Nicol ran back to the corner tower and continued to carry his things.

Verne angrily climbed down the windowsill and was about to run to the corner tower, Brie said helplessly: "Do things quickly, it's getting dark, we have to get this place up as soon as possible, and in the future, Verr, you will be here as a store manager during the day." ”

Rubbed Verre's head to settle it down.

"Store manager?" Ver's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Don't worry, leave it to me!" ”

Soon, Brie moved everything on the first floor of the Corner Tower, including the dead dragon egg that had been soaked in potion in the Corner Tower.

Looking at this dead dragon egg, Brie couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is still the first thing I experimented with life alchemy, but it doesn't seem to have any effect, these potions at most ensure that the activity of the dragon egg is not reduced, but it cannot make souls." ”

Soul ...... After Brie meets the little Peeves in the Forbidden Forest, he discovers the mystery of the soul, which is reforged by countless wills that exist in nature.

"If you collect those wills and use dragon eggs as embryos, you may be able to create a true alchemy of life...... Or this is no longer the product of the alchemy of life. ”

"It should be called natural alchemy."

Brie soon had inspiration, and it would be difficult for others to collect the will that overflowed from nature, but Brie could easily do so using the magic of nature and the power of the rules he saw at the source of the world, which would be an alchemy that would be unique to him.

"Tom can also use this way to re-develop a body and change the status quo."

Brie, who was ready to plan, began to write:

George & Fred.

Sorry to interrupt your vacation on the first day, but if you have time, please pay a visit to the Alchemy Shop at 96 Diagon Lane.

……

Dear Master Brie

We had to travel to Egypt with our family, and we couldn't go to Diagon Alley because we won the jackpot...... We didn't expect you to buy a shop, it's our dream... Okay, part-time job, right, we'll come, but it's going to take a while......

A month after George and Fred replied, Brie was both researching natural alchemy and running an alchemy shop, and he already had an eyebrow in natural alchemy, during which time Brie went to the Forbidden Forest, collected some of the will that overflowed in nature, and used the magic of nature to twist it into a small soul seed.

On the second floor of the alchemy shop in Diagon Alley, Brie took this soul seed and slowly injected a cumbersome magic text, so that it could absorb the consciousness of the outside world and grow by itself.

"It's like a seed, which will eventually grow into a giant tree after being nurtured by nature."

"Brie, there's someone making trouble down there!"

While Brie was researching the Soul Seed, Vel climbed up from downstairs and hurriedly said, "There's a stinky guy here, he wants to buy it!" ”

Brie had Enid and Draco sell alchemy items in Hogwarts, and Brie's shop had been doing very well in the past month, especially since Brie had added some natural alchemy techniques to make alchemy items more spiritual, so this also made some people pay attention to Brie.

"Annoying guy."

Brie accompanied Vere downstairs and soon saw Lucius Malfoy, and in front of him stood an arrogant middle-aged man, who seemed to know each other, but Lucius obviously didn't want to get involved in the matter, he smiled apologetically at Brie, and signaled that this person was coming to disturb Brie.

"What's the matter, sir?"

Others are rude, and they can't make Brie himself a barbarian, Brie stood politely in front of the two of them, and there were some wizards in the shop who were picking things, and they all looked at it at this time.

The man looked at Brie carefully and sighed, "You are Ode?" ”

He took out the contract in his hand, dangled it in front of the cloth for a while, and said, "I've investigated, you're a guy from the Muggle world, you've never seen so much money, as long as you cooperate with us, you can make more money." ”

"The wizarding world in England isn't big, Ode."

The British wizarding world is indeed not big, and he is the clansman of the largest alchemy industry in the British wizarding world, this time, he is here to discuss business, he has been eyeing Brie as early as Hogwarts, and this time, he also specially brought Lucius with him, in order to ......

"Acquisition?" Brie looked at the contract handed over, frowning slightly, although the treaty on this is not harsh, but it is definitely not completely free, there is a give-and-take, which is very fair.

If Brie's purpose was only to run a small alchemy shop in the future, perhaps he would have signed this unexpectedly lucrative contract.

"I'm sorry."

A young boy came from outside, holding a dark lamp, pushed Lucius and the arrogant guy away, walked up to Brie and said, "Is this your work?" ”

It was obviously the appearance of a teenager, but it was the voice of an old man, which made Brie look at him inquiringly.

Alchemy?

It's a familiar smell, it's the smell of the Philosopher's Stone.

"Mr. Nicol Lemay?" Lucius's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went up and said, "Why are you here, didn't you hear that you ...... have already chosen to die?"

Nicol Lemay turned to look at Lucius, wondering who the man was, but he quickly looked back at Brie and asked again, "Is this your work?" ”

"Yes, may I ask you something?"

Nicol Lemay, how did he find it?

"It was Dumbledore who told me that there was a student here who was very talented in alchemy." Nicol Lemay said with some embarrassment: "Originally, I was not going to participate in the affairs of the wizarding world again, I just wanted to wait quietly for death, but he mailed this to me. ”

Nicol Lemay looked at the dark light in his hand and said, "There's a ... Something special. ”

He looked at the people around him again, especially the guy who wanted to buy the alchemy shop, and said unhappily: "What are these people doing here, maybe I still have some prestige in alchemy, so I can get you out of here." ”

Lucius's face changed, and he grabbed the guy who wanted to talk to Nicol Lemay, and said to Nicol Lemay, "I'm sorry, we'll leave now." ”

Nicol Lemay, who owns the Philosopher's Stone, is definitely a fat sheep, and even because he is afraid of being disturbed, he and his wife choose to live in seclusion and hide from the world, after all, no one can resist the temptation of immortality.

Nicol Lemay, who had already decided to die and handed over the philosopher's stone to Dumbledore, had become a master of alchemy, and no one knew what kind of influence this old man had and what kind of impact it would have on the pure-blood families involved in the alchemy business.

Lucius chose to retreat very tactfully, and the people he brought with him thought the same, they were not stupid, the weak Brie could be arrogant, but they did not want to offend Nicol Lemay, who was not afraid of death.

Brie insisted, and handed the contract back to the man, who glanced at Brie and still advised: "In Diagon Alley, if you want to live better, then you have to make a deal with purebloods, because purebloods have more trade routes, Diagon Alley doesn't have customers every day, and the real guests are outside." ”

The wizarding world is not a small place like Diagon Alley, and the real money spenders will not be the women and children who hang out in Diagon Alley, but the wizards who wander out to make a living.

This world is very big, there are very few wizards in a corner, only pure-blood families with countless wealth can settle in one place stably, otherwise it is those who have a fair and honest job, but this is too little, and there can be a large group of guys running for life in the shadows of the wizarding world.

Lucius and the man left, and Brie took the familiar Nicol Lemay in.

When Nicol Lemay saw Verre on the side, his eyes lit up, and he saw Nicol arresting him.

"This is ......" Nicol's gaze suddenly sharpened, and he said in some silence: "Alchemy of Life...... One of the most brutal. ”

"I'm sorry, little one, the last time I saw such an alchemy product was the last time, when I was only one hundred and fifty-two years old."

Placing the serpent-faced and dissatisfied Verl on the counter, Nicol Lemay said to Brie, "Where did you find it, I can see that the alchemy on it is something from a thousand years ago." ”

"Yes......"

"Wait, Mr. Nicol Lemay, perhaps you can tell me what you are here for."

Brie interrupted Nicol Lemay's rambling question, chuckling, "We can go upstairs, and talking here will affect the guests' purchases." ”

At this time, there were still many people in the store, all of whom were secretly looking at this alchemy master, and the legend of immortality was always so attractive.

Nicol Lemay heard this, smiled apologetically, and followed Brie upstairs.

"Oh, nice place!"

Nicol Lemay looked at Brie's studio and said with satisfaction: "Dumbledore hopes that I can help you learn alchemy, and now the alchemy at Hogwarts is too rudimentary. ”

"I didn't want to come, but... There is some breath of life in your alchemy products, a very special breath of life, which is completely different from the current life alchemy. ”

As he spoke, Nicol Lemay didn't care whether Briton agreed or not, so he took out a small box, looked at it in a corner of the room, and threw it out.

The box soon opened, forming a cabinet, which stretched again and again, and a row of bookshelves appeared, filled with books.

"This is my collection, you can see as much as you want, I'm going to take it with me after death, maybe the souls are there, I can continue to study them."

"The mystery of alchemy is not a step-by-step process, just leave some guiding books, but you can't frame the juniors."

As he spoke, Nicol Lemay's face changed, and some cold sweat broke out, and he hurriedly took out a bottle of red potion from his pocket and poured it into his mouth, his expression was very painful.

Soon, Nicol Lemay relented, he looked at Brie's curious gaze, and explained: "This is the elixir of immortality, an evil potion, I don't think you will want to drink it, it brings not only immortality, but the calamity it brings is more painful than death." ”

Nicol Lemay smiled bitterly and continued to explain, "I know everyone expects to have it, but if I hadn't fully studied the mysteries of the formation of the Philosopher's Stone, I would have chosen to die a long time ago. ”

Brie retracted his curious look and wondered: "The mystery of the Philosopher's Stone, isn't this something you should have known a long time ago, otherwise how to refine the Philosopher's Stone." ”

Box and Elsie spent their lives fighting for the Philosopher's Stone, but when it came to Nicol Lemay, they faintly resisted, which was strange.

"The Philosopher's Stone," recalls Nicol Lemay, full of embarrassment, "it was an accident, an accident that is difficult to replicate, and I don't want it to happen again...... The Philosopher's Stone is definitely not something that can be studied by oneself, it requires the efforts of countless people. ”

Nicol Lemay didn't say much, but put the subject aside, saying, "This should not be the direction of your research, perhaps you would prefer to understand the mysteries of life." ”

Speaking of life, Nicol Lemay has another headache, because the alchemy of life is a forbidden art like the Philosopher's Stone, and it will cost you a lot to succeed.

"I'm worried about you, kid."

"The alchemy of life is terrifying, and I can't let you go astray." Just as he was obsessed with the Philosopher's Stone and caused disaster, he definitely didn't want to see an alchemical genius follow in his footsteps, which is why he is here.

"I can teach you for a few months, and I'm running out of immortal potions left."

Asking Nicol Lemay to teach him alchemy for a few months, Brie thought about it and understood that there was not much harm in it, so he agreed.

"Thank you, Mr. Nicol Lemay."

As long as Nicol Lemay doesn't find out about Tom's existence, refining house-elves is not a good thing to declare, it's best that no one knows, Brie didn't even tell Tom the truth, only explained the master-servant contract, otherwise with Tom's temperament, he would not have to fight hard with Brie, and finally died by the contract.

"Haha, then let's start teaching alchemy now, you show me your highest skill first, and let me know how much you have mastered alchemy now!"

Nicol Lemay was urgent, urging Brie.

Brie thought for a moment and handed his note to Nicol Lemay.

It stands to reason that his current highest achievement is Tom's, but Tom's current situation can't be brought out, after all, it is the evil Horcrux version of the house-elf crafting technology.

Nicol Lemay took the note handed by Brie, looked at it carefully, and said with a hint of admiration: "Good material, this is a unicorn, right, or a unicorn voluntarily, remarkable, you seem to be a person with a pure heart, otherwise the unicorn would not have given his body to you." ”

Nicol Lemay touched the pages of the book like a lover, and quickly added: "It's space magic, a very stable magic circle, and!" ”

He squinted slightly, and soon discovered the unusual magic in it.

"It's not the power of a wizard."

Nicol Lemay was itching, but it obviously involved Brie's privacy, so he was still wary: "Maybe you will have great achievements elsewhere, alchemy can't trap you." ”
