Chapter 159: Animagus

Nicol Lemay took it away with the cauldron, and spent the rest of the time around it, waiting for life to be conceived in the crucible, and the spread of the dead air made Brie feel troublesome, but Nicol Lemay used his soul power to suppress it.

"You really don't care about your life anymore."

Brie looked at Nicol Lemay, who was on the second floor of the alchemy shop, constantly transporting soul power for the embryos from the cauldron, and sighed: "I don't think that an unconceived life is more important than a living person, but I obviously find that your obsession with alchemy is very sincere. ”

Nicol Lemay was no longer a teenager, but an old man who was drooping, and he leaned over and whispered in response to Brie.

"This is the first alchemical item that conceives life on its own... No, it's just a living being, just in an alchemical way...... How wonderful! ”

"You won't understand, Oude, for more than a month, I have understood you, your purpose will not be the pinnacle of alchemy, alchemy is just your means, but I am different, I have lived for alchemy for hundreds of years, but unfortunately, I have not found its ultimate mystery...... It was God's realm, and there was no God in this world. ”

Speaking of this, Nicol Lemay looked at Brie in a daze, and said with a hint of expectation: "Maybe you can succeed!" ”

But soon, he hung his head in disappointment, shaking his head and sighing.

"No, you have your own path, you have already made your own decisions."

Nicol Lemay, who has lived for hundreds of years, sees it very clearly, and he probably knows a little about what Brie wants to do at this time, which is nothing more than power, money, using alchemy to take root in the British wizarding world, and have a good reputation, just like a family.

"I'll help you, but I also want you to help me, I know it needs your strength to grow, so... as a transaction. ”

Nicol Lemay didn't have anything left, but the rest was just what Brie needed.

"I'll keep all the books I brought with you, and I'll introduce you to some of my friends so that your fantasy game can spread smoothly, what do you think, I think I'm still a little bit influential."

Nicol Lemay worked as a teacher for a while in his early years, teaching many students and donating alchemy books to Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but later lived in seclusion because of the Philosopher's Stone.

Brie nodded, agreeing to the deal.

"As you wish, Mr. Nicol Lemay."

Death is his own choice, Brie admires Nicol Lemay's most attitude towards life, maybe he was extremely obsessed with immortality when he was young, but now he has understood that death may also be a new life, and it is worth it to use the time before death in exchange for his life's pursuit.

Brie placed her hand on the embryo in the cauldron and slowly channeled the magic of nature into it, drawing the consciousness of the outside world into it, slowly condensing the complete soul.

"You may need some more time."

School is only half a month away, and Brie is not going to waste time with Nicol Lemay, he has been preparing for the Animagus magic ritual a month ago, and these days are the season of storms, and it is the right time.

"It's okay, I'll be optimistic about it." Nicol Lemay looked at the reanimated embryo and smiled like a child, and said, "I'm sorry for interrupting you last time, but you'd better be careful, Voldemort's soul isn't that easy... Tame. ”

Nicol Lemay's eyes were gloomy, and he had heard Tom Riddle's name from Dumbledore, and he soon understood Tom's identity from the events of the day.

"I didn't tell Dumbledore, don't worry, I know him a little bit, Dumbledore always manages too much, haha, sorry, I shouldn't have said that about your headmaster, but it's true."

Nicol Lemay shook his head with a smile, stared at the embryo and continued to transmit his soul power, and whispered again.

"Be careful, Oude, the human soul is not so simple, it is different from the house-elves, people are unpredictable, people are too smart, alas."

Brie listened to Nicol Lemay's voice and returned to the corner tower, he rubbed his head, Tom already knew the truth, Brie could hardly imagine that Tom would adapt to this identity, but he had to face it, otherwise what awaited him would only be a pinch of loess.

"Tom!"

Brie pushed open the door of the corner tower and walked up to the second floor, where Tom was sitting in a chair behind the wooden table, flipping through the soul-related books that had been brought from Box's study.

"Tom?"

Brie walked over to the bookshelf and called out again to Tom behind him, but Tom turned a deaf ear and looked at the book with a pale face.

"I'll tell you, everything you need to keep a record of house-elves is in your notes."

The notes are now used as a teleportation channel, and they cannot be taken up, but can only be dictated......

"This is the truth?"

Tom listened to Brie's story, his face became more and more indifferent, he clenched the corner of the table, coughed constantly, blood flowed from his mouth, and the signs of collapse on his body became more and more intense, he was covered in bloodshot like a terrifying monster, but soon, the soul stone on his chest suppressed the collapsed soul.

Tom slumped back in his chair and muttered, "House-elf... It's a Horcrux, why, why! ”

Tom glared at Brie in disbelief, but soon he resisted the tyranny in his eyes and sneered, "This is a lie to me, my Tom Riddle, no, how could I Voldemort be a house elf, impossible!" ”

"You've got an answer in your heart, Tom."

Brie didn't force Tom to accept it, but said, "If you choose to die, I won't stop you, if you want to continue living, you can only accept this ritual." ”

Will Tom take it, Brie doesn't know.

"I've already repurchased the materials, but the soul seeds in them need me to recondense, I'll go to the Forbidden Forest to speed up the condensation."

After Brie finished speaking, he didn't wait for Tom to react, and prepared to go out.

"Wait!"

Tom propped himself up, he clenched the soul stone on his chest and said: "This is the Philosopher's Stone, right, it turns out that the Philosopher's Stone is not only an option for immortality, the soul, but it is really an amazing power." ”

"It's better to die than to live, I'll go with you."

Tom endured the pain and walked over to Brie and motioned for him to lead the way.

"Keep up, I also have something else to do, and I need someone to watch."

The location of the Animagus magic ritual was Brie's choice of the Forbidden Forest, which is full of natural forces, and Brie can feel more at ease there.

Walking over to the notes placed on the first floor, Brie flipped through the pages and clicked on the anchor left in the Forbidden Forest, and soon Brie and Tom were on the dirt floor full of grass and trees.

There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky, lightning flickered in the dark clouds, and the huge trees around them towered, the fog locked in by the branches, and the water vapor became thicker.

The anchor page turned into a paper crane, flew to the branch, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Brie looked up at the sky and said, "We're just here." ”

With Brie's words, the thunder that had been hidden in the sky for a long time roared, and a drop of water fell and hit Brie's forehead.

"Fire and water are invulnerable."

Brie casts a fire and water spell on herself and Tom, causing the rain to slide down the transparent barrier outside her body and fall to the mud.

The rain poured down, and soon the Forbidden Forest was filled with a dripping sound, and Brie walked under a tree and dug out a bottle from underneath.

"Animagus?"

Tom recognized the magic behind this item at a glance, and he frowned, "You're still too young, isn't there a bit of a rush to do Animagus now?" ”

"You should do it next semester under Professor McGonagall's direction, not now."

Brie shook her head; "I learned about this magic with Professor McGonagall last semester, and the mandrake was provided to me by Professors McGonagall and Sprout."

"I just didn't inform her when the magic ceremony was held, I'll explain it to her next semester."

As the words faded into the rain, Brie threw her head back and swallowed the red liquid from the bottle.

Soon, a white mist emerged from Brie's surroundings, and his Patronus slowly coalesced from it, guarding Brie with his head covered.

The surrounding rainwater continued to evaporate and the ground became dry.

Brie's black hair gradually turned white, and Tong Kong's hole also turned crimson.

"Hmm!"

With a humming sound, Brie curled up on the ground, and he gradually changed his body, forming a snake body, which was still growing, more and more similar to his patronus, and the black sharp horns on his head also faintly appeared.

Brie was green all over, and soon turned red again, and the horns above her head glowed silver.

"Aang!"

"Bump!"

"Boom!"

Brion screamed, the giant tree was pumped by the huge snake body, and the thunder rang out in unison!

"Snakes?" Tom looked at Brie's Animagus and exclaimed, "This is no ordinary snake, with a magical beast as an Animagus, I have never heard of success." ”

Looking at Brie's reddened snake child, Tom couldn't help but cough a few times, and the rain around him became heavier, which made the Forbidden Forest a little colder, and he couldn't stay for long with his current body.

Brie slowly put away his Animagus, shrunk back, and held Tom in his arms.

"You go back first, I have to stay in the Forbidden Forest for a few days, soul seeds can't be obtained in a while."

"Ahem, I'm fine, I'm curious how you can condense your soul."

In the soul stone, Tom could naturally hear the voices of the outside world, so he could hear what Nicol Lemay and Brie said in the corner tower that day, and his original anger was temporarily suppressed.

House-elves?

Tom laughed in his heart, whether he was a house-elf or not was irreversible, maybe it was because of the house-elf-like contract that he would always be unable to help but think about Brie, his master.

Blame Brie, he couldn't do it.

Brie had no choice but to take Tom, if he forcibly ordered Tom to go back, but he didn't want to do that, he regarded Tom as a friend, at least Tom hadn't betrayed him so far.

"If you can't help it, go back to the Soul Stone."

……

For several days in a row, Brie sat in the Forbidden Forest, meditating, absorbing the surrounding consciousness and condensing it into a soul seed, which was so effective that it soon condensed a soul seed that was enough to perform the ritual.

And Tom also accompanied Brie for a few days, talking to Brie about soul magic, and things related to the Unforgivable Curse, Brie always remembered to crack the unforgivable black magic, and studied in his spare time, but this time was involved in Nicol Lemay and Tom's affairs.

"Let's go back, no one will bother us this time."

"Goo-goo!"

It's an owl mail.

A newspaper.

"Nicol Lemay is already on the move, he and Verle have started releasing the Mirage game in Diagon Alley, and they helped me promote it in the Daily Prophet..."

Tom snatched the newspaper, read it, and said, "You're going to let me help you manage this?" ”

The clever Tom saw Brie's thoughts at a glance, and as a future Brie's parent, he would help Brie manage what was called the Illusion Game outside of Hogwarts.

"It's fun to watch, make kids' money?"

Tom thought for a moment and snorted disdainfully.

"A bunch of fools, they don't need such a delicate thing to get Galleons in their pockets."

"Still, if it's what you want, then I'll help you."

Brie and Tom returned to the corner tower, and soon set up another cauldron and began to boil the potion, and no one disturbed it, which naturally went well, except that Brie re-crushed Tom's soul and used the soul seed to hang his life, and almost fainted.

Tom, who has been reborn, can feel the soul seed in his heart that is constantly absorbing external forces to maintain the stability of his soul.

"It's a very different power, Brie, a wizard can't possibly have."

Tom put on his robe, leaned back in his chair, and sighed.

"So what identity should I use to come forward?"

"Brother... Uncle...... Or is it a father? ”

Tom looked at Brie with a teasing look in his eyes.

"Uncle, although you are my grandfather's age, your appearance obviously does not match."

Tom's face paused, and disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he still said, "Of course, my little nephew Brie. ”

Tom got up, pointed to his face, and said helplessly, "Maybe you forgot, some old guys still know him, huh?" ”

Brie was prepared, he took out a mask and said, "This is a change mask, the person who wears it can change the appearance, so that people can't see the face behind the mask." ”

"If you're worried about Dumbledore, I can tell you that as long as he doesn't keep staring, he won't find a flaw, and I have this confidence."

Able to use the magic of nature to cast a disillusionment charm to avoid Dumbledore's detection, Brie naturally believed that he had created a mask using the magic of nature.

Tom took the mask and put it on, and soon the mask disappeared from his face, and Tom's appearance changed a little, and he was three points similar to Brie.

"Well, then, let's get out, sweet nephew." Tom conjured up a water mirror and touched his face with satisfaction.
