Turning his head, the old man seemed to be hundreds of years old, and his whole person was as fragile as glass.

"Teacher." John saw the old man and called out cordially.

Nicol Lemay also had a smile on his face.

As the only alchemist to craft the Philosopher's Stone, he stands at the top of all alchemists' lands.

The last time John and Aixis came to the Gates of Things, Nicol Lemay had already existed.

It was also Nicol Lemay who strengthened the Sword of Silver Wick for John.

He and Nicol Lemay had a mentorship relationship for a few months, and Nicol Lemay was very pleased.

"You've grown up, this is your work, right?"

Nicol Lemay looked at the limited gloves with a deeper look of relief.

With his vision, he could easily see that the level of alchemy in the gloves was at the top of the ranks compared to other alchemists in the wizarding world.

In just a few years, John has come to such an extent that he is amazed.

"Why is the space here different from the last time?"

John was a little puzzled, the last time he came over, it was a mirror, and this time it became a Gubrai immortal fire.

Nicol Lemay said: "The Gate of Things is essentially all that it has, and it is not surprising that it has changed. ”

Seeing the legendary Ice Box, Nicol Lemay couldn't help but be surprised.

"The artifact of the legendary Giant Realm, you've really caused me a problem."

As the current steward of the Gate, Nicol Lemay also has a headache with the Ice Box.

John said earnestly, "I want to enter the Gate of Things and banish the Ice Box completely. ”

Nicol Lemay shook his head, with kindness and distress in his eyes, and said: "Child, everything needs to be exchanged, and you are in a very bad state now. ”

He saw John's physical state, and his eyes were full of distress.

Both arms are damaged, and even the soul is affected.

An old woman came over, and she was meeting John for the second time.

Seeing this scene, the old woman's eyes were full of distress, and she said angrily: "Albus didn't take good care of you. ”

Perenel Lemay.

She was the wife of Nicol Lemay, who came here with her husband to end her immortality.

Nicol Lemay really regarded John as a successor, and John was like Perenel's child.

Seeing John's current appearance, she felt some resentment towards Dumbledore.

John was silent, how could he tell his teacher that he and Dumbledore were not on good terms.

With tears in his eyes, Perenel said, "He's only 15 years old, why did he go through this? ”

The old woman's words warmed John's heart, and he carried too many things by himself along the way.

The sudden concern is like throwing a stone into the heart, and the water splashes out of the eyes.

"Leave things here." Nicol Lemay said with concern: "What you need most now is to heal your body." ”

"Thank you." This thank you came from the bottom of his heart, and John said solemnly: "Teacher, I will find a way to solve it." ”

Although he wanted to catch up with his teacher, John knew he was running out of time.

He resolutely walked towards the gate of things, and only through the gate of things could John solve all this.

The door of things opened, and three doors stood inside.

One is the white gate representing life and death, the other is the golden gate representing the past and the future, and the other is the silver gate of creation.

This time, John came to the silver door, and he looked at the crippled hands, which was windless and automatic.

Behind the door, a hand stretched out.

Equivalent exchange.

John raised his right hand vigorously, and only a philosopher stone remained on the limited glove.

"In exchange for healing hands, I am willing to send a philosopher."

The hand paused for a moment, and even John didn't react, and the Tetsushi had already been detained.

After receiving the Zheshi, John's hands ached sharply.

It's like cutting off your arm and growing it back.

His hands are changing.

By the end, John was sweating profusely, his hands clenched hard, and he recovered.

Pulling out another Philosopher from his bag, John shouted towards the Gate of Things, "I want a space where I can banish the Ice Box." ”

His words fell, and there was no movement at the door of things.

This made John's heart sink.

He didn't have much on him in exchange, except for Philosopher, only a limited glove and the Sword of Silver Wick.

Reluctantly taking off the ring, John said again, "I need a space where I can banish the Ice Box." ”

The Gate of Objects still didn't respond.

Looking at the Sword of Silver Wick, John raised it again.

"I need a space where I can banish the Ice Crate."

This time, the Gate of Things reacted a little, but instead of the Sword of Silver Wick, many arms were drilled out of the Gate of Things to drag John to the door.

John's expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly retreated.

In the face of the menacing Gate of Things, his strength alone is too thin after all.

Just as John was about to be caught, the Object Gate's arm stopped.

John saw his teacher, Nicol Lemay, standing in front of him.

After retreating into the door, John smiled bitterly, "It seems that it is impossible to banish." ”

Nicol Lemay couldn't laugh, he approached John, pulled him up, and said earnestly, "Nothing is perfect, John, and so are people." ”

With a serious expression, Nicol Lemay said seriously: "You pushed yourself too hard. ”

"You've been pushing yourself to take on everything, I don't know what the hell you went through in school, but you shouldn't be."

John was stunned.

yes, he's pushing himself too hard.

Although he founded the Stars Society, he never wanted his friends to be in danger.

He kept saying that it was to build connections, but he was always the one at the forefront.

He would deal with Voldemort for the sake of his friends.

In order to save Hermione, he did not hesitate to offend the taboo, even if it was possible to die.

In order to help Neville's parents, he was willing to endure the pain of the Piercing Spell.

He trusts his friends too much, and in his second year, Harry's malice is full of loopholes, but John, who still regarded Harry as a friend at that time, never suspects his friends.

His evil only faces outsiders, which also leads him to like to carry everything alone.

Because unlike Harry, there are Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Lupin, Sirius, Moody, Hagrid, Weasley, Order of the Phoenix, and ...... Snape.

These elders are Harry's backing, and they are also the capital that can tolerate his mistakes again and again.

Harry needed money, and the Potter family left him a small mountain of gold, and Sirius was willing to give him all of Blake's money at any time.

Harry needs help, Professor McGonagall sends him a broomstick, Lupin teaches him to practice the Patronus Charm, the Weasleys treat him as their own, and the Order of the Phoenix is full of his parents' comrades.

And John, he has no backing.

You can only stop everything on your own.

He has zero margin for error, and a single failure can make him disappear.

He could see that Snape was suspicious of him, and that Dumbledore didn't trust him.

The only chance he had to change his fate from the time he entered school was when he was in his first year, when Dumbledore sent him to France.

Doesn't he want to have elders?

Of course I do!

In his third year, he made many overtures to Snape, wasn't it because he also wanted a backstage that could tolerate his mistakes and not need to keep himself careful?

Unfortunately, he did not succeed.

Snape preferred Dumbledore more than himself, and it could also be said that he was protecting Harry.

Thinking of this, John smiled bitterly, and he said sincerely and bitterly: "Teacher, there is no one behind me. ”

In addition to the Star Society, Johnny Silver Hand is more dependent and interested.

Even Damo Alex, who helped him the most, came together because of the trade between reputations.

The Star Society has not yet grown, so only John can shoulder everything.

A hint of tiredness appeared between his eyebrows, and John looked at the door of things, feeling lost.

"Looks like there's no way I can fix the Ice Box."

He didn't know if the Ice Box would affect the teacher if it was inside the Gate of Things, but he was still reluctant to keep it.

Nicol Lemay led John to the Golden Gate.

When he opened the Golden Gate, John was able to sense the displeasure of the Gate of Things.

It was unhappy with Nicol Lemay's unauthorized unleashing of the deal.

Nicol Lemay didn't care, he said: "Go, child, everything has a teacher." ”

His words were full of affirmation, and he did not know that his students had been wronged so much in this life.

As a teacher, an elder.

Hearing that sentence, his heart, which had lived for hundreds of years, was stabbed severely.

Nicol Lemay's distress and guilt for John was enough to make him show favoritism for once.

John knew he had no choice but to say goodbye to his teacher, and at the same time, he knew that his teacher was going to do something for himself.

After he entered the Golden Gate, the Gate of Things was closed.

Nicol Lemay's eyes were deep, and his wife came up and grabbed his arm.

The two watched in silence as John departed.
