"The principal didn't tell me, but he said that I was asked to visit an old friend of his, because ......"

Before Luo Cheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by the old man in front of him.

"Because it will help you in your future? Yes child, I can help you achieve your ambitions. Albus sent me a letter last week about you. It does seem a bit inappropriate to use the Imperius Curse to confirm your identity just now, but you have to take care of my old man's identity, after all, when I was young, there was no such thing as an unforgivable curse. ”

Luo Cheng looked at the old man in front of him in horror. The Avada Curse, the Imperius Curse, and the Drill Heart Curse, three unresolved black spells, were listed as unforgivable by the Wizengamot as early as 1385, and any wizard who used the Unforgivable Curse on a person was sentenced to life in prison. And the old man in front of him actually said that he didn't have an unforgivable curse when he was young, if this is true, then it means that the old man in front of him should be hundreds of years old.

And the most famous long-lived person in the wizarding world is none other than the famous alchemist Nicol Lemay! And Dumbledore did have an extraordinary friendship with Nicol Lemay, and they were very effective in alchemy. The Philosopher's Stone that was taken to Hogwarts for preservation (or fishing) was the one Dumbledore asked Nicol Lemay for it.

"You're Nicol Lemay?"

Luo Cheng asked tentatively,

The old man laughed.

"Oh yes, that's one of the names I've ever used. Actually, I used to be called Nicolas Lemay, or Nicolas Flammel. ”

"Wow, what an honor, I mean, I never thought I'd meet a legend like you."

Luo Cheng really didn't expect Dumbledore to let him visit Nicol Lemay, he really couldn't imagine how Nicol Lemay would help him in his future, and he didn't plan to develop in alchemy.

"Young wizard, your eyes are full of ambition. Of course, ambition is not a pejorative term, and a wizard without ambition is doomed to no achievement. It seems to me that many wizards nowadays lack ambition, but as long as they can grasp their ambitions, they will be able to achieve without being swallowed up by their own ambitions. Then again, I think you're full of questions right now, why did Albus let you come to me, a bad old man? ”

Luo Cheng nodded, there is no need to perform acting skills in front of this old monster in front of him, who has lived for hundreds of years, it is better to admit it directly.

"Indeed, I don't understand why Professor Dumbledore would let me visit you, I don't know anything about alchemy."

The old man tapped his fingers on the armrest of the stone bench and said, "I do have a high level of achievement in alchemy, but Dumbledore asked you to come to me, of course, not so that I could teach you alchemy. He knows your ambitions, you want to be higher in the Ministry of Magic, right? ”

"Yes."

Luo Cheng did not shy away from saying that promotion and salary increase are his motivation, which is directly related to how many years he can live.

"Albus told me about the centaurs' prophecy about you, and the centaurs see a change in you. For me and Albus, the variables of fate are always interesting, so he wants me to help you. ”

Luo Cheng was not surprised that Dumbledore knew about Ferencze's language about him, and Dumbledore's status in the eyes of the centaurs was not trivial. Dumbledore also saw it when Ferenze talked to Luo Cheng that day, there was no reason not to ask afterwards, it seems that Dumbledore asked Ferenze specifically later.
