Kyle does have a vial of ashes left behind by Phoenix Nirvana, which was given to him by Fox when he was in his third year.

It's just that it belongs to the highest-end material, and he definitely won't use it until he has enough experience, so the bottle of ash has always been placed in the innermost part of the box.

"May I ask why?" Kyle was a little curious, and then added, "Of course, if you need to keep it a secret, forget it." ”

"Oh, that's as it should be, after all, they're all yours."

Nicol glanced at Dumbledore and received an affirmative answer before continuing, "Remember the time turner in the Chamber of Secrets?" ”

"Of course." Kyle nodded.

It was because of that time turner that he met the Hogwarts Four, and naturally he will not forget it.

"That's right, I've fixed it." Nicol's face was calm, and he said something like thunder.

"That time turner, fixed?" Kyle subconsciously looked at Dumbledore.

He had never seen Dumbledore like this before, and in his always wise blue eyes, there was only anticipation and trepidation that could not be concealed.

"It wasn't that fast, but I got some vital help...... It's also thanks to you, Kyle. ”

Nicol blinked, "But the final ...... is missing It is also the most important part, the heart that provides the magic for the time converter.

If you want to go back a hundred years, the amount of magic required is immeasurable, and no existing magic symbol can solve this problem. ”

"Overlays don't work either?" Kyle asked subconsciously.

"Nope." Nicol shook his head, "Stacking the Mana Enhancement Talisman to a certain number does meet the activation requirements, but the subsequent mana supply can't keep up.

"In this case, the time turner is likely to ...... No, it must be broken again, and then the user will be trapped in it forever, maybe in the fiftieth or seventy, unable to reach the scheduled time and unable to come back. ”

Kyle nodded, he knew that the user Nicol was talking about was Dumbledore, and the one hundred years that went back were also for him.

If he was just stuck in the past, Dumbledore might not have cared, but he wouldn't have been able to reach the scheduled time......

Wait a minute.

It occurred to Kyle what he would have done if Dumbledore had been thrown sixty years ago...... Also, could Grindelwald recognize him at that time......

Thinking so, the corners of Kyle's mouth couldn't help but move, but he quickly held back again.

At this time, Nicol did not notice Kyle's strange appearance, and he continued, "So I thought of another way, the Philosopher's Stone!

"Only the Philosopher's Stone can continuously provide a huge amount of magic support for the time converter."

"But hasn't the Philosopher's Stone been destroyed?" Kyle asked, coming back to his senses.

"That's right." Nicol smiled, "But have you ever thought that I was able to refine the Philosopher's Stone six hundred years ago, so why can't I do it now?"

"To be honest, the process of refining the Philosopher's Stone is not difficult for me, but the materials needed are difficult to find, and the ashes left behind after the Phoenix Nirvana are the most important part of the Philosopher's Stone."

Kyle understood, and the simple thing was that once the ash was lent out, it would never come back.

Of course, if he can get back a Philosopher's Stone in the end, then he will definitely not hesitate, but the question is can he really get the Philosopher's Stone?

Just look at the previous experience, when he returned to the correct time in the secret room, the time turner was destroyed, and the only shell was shattered into slag.

Although the last time it was a thousand years, this time it is only a hundred years, but what if...... After all, no one knows if this thing is a throwaway product.

Well, not only did he not hold the crown this time, but he also had to put another good thing in it?

But there is one thing Kyle can't figure out, Nicol has lived for more than 600 years, and there are more good things in his collection, so is there no Nirvana Ash among them? It shouldn't be.

Kyle thought so and asked.

"There were."

Nicol sighed, "But I didn't think I'd make a second Philosopher's Stone at the time, so I used it all somewhere else...... It's the dragon statue on my doorstep, and it's my proudest work in the past 100 years. ”

"And to make the Philosopher's Stone, you must use the ashes left by the Phoenix's natural nirvana." Dumbledore added, "What you get by tricks doesn't work for anything. ”

"Okay." Kyle nodded.

Co-authored Nicol and Dumbledore are here today for the ashes in his hands.

If I had known that this was the case, I should have stayed at Hogsmeade a little longer, or spent the night there......

Despite this, Kyle opened his case and pulled out a tightly sealed bottle from inside.

The bottle is the size of a thumb, the mouth is corked and sealed with a layer of wax.

It contains half a bottle of gray-black powder, and when you shake the bottle, you can see a little golden red light, like a star twinkling in the night, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.

"All I have, do I want them all?" Kyle asked.

He wished he might have kept some for him, even if it was just a handful.

But sadly, that's not even enough.

"It's a little less, but it's barely enough." Nicol's words shattered Kyle's last thoughts.

Looking at Kyle's reluctant expression, Dumbledore said with some embarrassment, "I know, this could be a difficult decision for you.

"Actually, I wanted to find Professor Snape at first, but the ash he took has already been used, and you are the only one left before Fawkes' next nirvana."

Snape used up the ashes so quickly.

Kyle really didn't expect that.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn't such a precious thing be carefully stored and kept? Wait for it to pass it on to Connor as a family heirloom after a few decades, and then ......

Ahem, in short, Snape's behavior is nothing short of tyrannical!

"Shameful waste." Kyle sneered inwardly.

But it's useless to talk about that now.

Looking at Dumbledore, who looked hopeful, even pleading, and at the blue and white woolen socks he had placed on the bookshelf in his office, Kyle finally sighed and handed the bottle over.

"I'll leave this to you, Professor."

Dumbledore hurriedly stepped forward and took it carefully, as if he had taken a handful of water.

"I've consulted with Nicol."

After carefully tucking the bottle into a padded wooden box, he said, "We have agreed that if the Philosopher's Stone is not damaged after use, then it belongs to you."

If damaged...... I can promise you one condition, any condition, even if I transfer all of Gringotts' private vaults to you. ”

Kyle waved his hand, "No need for this, Professor Dumbledore." ”

He didn't understand what was going on lately, a few days ago Sirius said that he would give him a shop worth nearly ten thousand Galleons, and now Dumbledore was even more ruthless, and he was going to send it to the vault directly.

That's a bit too exaggerated.

Of course, if it was possible, he would still prefer the Philosopher's Stone.
