Chapter 509: Control your own life and death
The scene you see inside the door is completely different from what you saw when you first entered the house.
That door brought the two of them to the real residence of Mr. and Mrs. Flamel.
“It’s amazing!” Albert murmured in a low voice.
"It's just a simple trick, Mr. Anderson." Nico appeared in front of Albert without warning, and introduced the two of them into the hall with a smile.
The furnishings here were still fresh in Albert’s memory. When he first met Nico, the furnishings in the house looked like this.
“A magical teleportation technology, or does it fold space?”
Albert was very curious about how Nico did it. When he passed through the door just now, he didn't feel the discomfort during the teleportation, so it was most likely that the decoration here was just the same as the last house.
This reminded him of the Room of Requirement in Hogwarts, which was also a magical room.
"No, it's not teleportation. I'm just hiding this place." Nico turned his head and looked out the window and explained: "There is actually a house here. When you enter from the front door, you will enter another house. To enter here, you need to use A rather special way.”
“That silver card?”
"Yes, that is actually the password." Nico explained, "This place is protected by the Loyalty Curse. As long as you don't get out of the window, no one can detect your presence. What others see from the outside will only It’s a scene from another house.”
“That house elf is the gatekeeper?”
"To a certain extent, it is true." Nico nodded, "I know you are very curious about these, but that is just because you have not mastered this part of knowledge at the moment. When you master it, you will find this Just some simple tricks!”
"If possible, I hope to learn this part of the knowledge from you." Albert said eagerly.
"Maybe, we should sit down and have something to drink." Nico looked at Albert, "Then, we can talk about this matter slowly."
“Milk tea, right?”
Perenal placed a cup of brewed milk tea in front of Albert.
Albert picked up the teacup, smelled the fragrance of the milk tea, then took a sip of the milk tea and sighed softly, "I haven't had such a delicious milk tea in a long time."
“Those things should be able to arrive in France tomorrow.” Serra looked at the greatest alchemist in history in front of him, looking like he was hesitant to speak.
“What’s wrong?” Nico asked.
“I heard that you are planning to give up the Philosopher’s Stone?” Sera asked with a complicated expression, “Is this true?”
“Yes, it’s true, I’m ready to destroy the Philosopher’s Stone.”
“What a pity!” Sera’s tone contained a hint of decline.
“No regrets, Serra.” Perenaar placed a cup of black tea in front of Serra and said calmly, “We have lived too long, and we can finally rest!”
"The meaning of life lies in death." Albert said softly: "Living too long, watching the people, things and things you are familiar with gradually disappear, is sometimes a kind of torture!"
“Mr. Anderson sees things very clearly.” Nico said with a smile on his face, “It’s just that he lacks the vitality that young people should have.”
"I definitely hope that I can live longer and wait until I am tired before I die." Albert said seriously.
Sela sipped her black tea and fell into short memories.
At the beginning, when he was young, he met the Flamel couple under the introduction of his teacher. At that time, he was not as relaxed as Albert.
Later on, I continued to exchange letters with the Flamel couple, and I often visited them to ask for advice.
I have gradually gained some attainments in alchemy.
At the age of thirty-five, he finally took over his current job.
For Serra, the Nicos were friends and teachers, and the fact that they were about to leave made him quite sentimental.
He couldn't help but blame Dumbledore a little.
Nico's decision to give up the Philosopher's Stone must have something to do with him.
"Don't worry, Serra, we won't die yet." Perenal comforted softly, "We are still storing the elixir, enough for us to live for another five or six years to deal with all the funeral affairs."
"Five or six years, maybe you can live longer." Sera suggested: "If your knowledge and wisdom disappear like this, it will definitely be a loss to the entire magical world."
"Five or six years are enough for us to teach Mr. Anderson most of his knowledge." Nico comforted softly. He actually understood how much those people valued the inheritance of knowledge, and Nico was happy to help Albert.
"I can teach you many things, but I'm afraid I can't help you with one thing. Divination and prophecy require talent. Without talent in this area, it will be difficult to master it no matter how much effort you put in." Nico reminded.
“Don’t worry about this.”
Albert nodded to show that he understood, "I am also somewhat talented in divination, and I have been able to predict some clues about the future."
“Can you predict?”
Nico was not surprised by this and summoned his own crystal ball to let Albert try to predict.
“Predict the outcome of the International Wizard Chess Competition tomorrow!” Sera suggested with a smile: “Maybe, you will see yourself winning the championship!”
“I guess that’s a little difficult.”
Albert began to focus his attention on the crystal ball. The crystal ball in front of him was far better than his own. The fog in the crystal ball began to dissipate, and a picture appeared. There was a hand holding the wizard chess champion's ball high. Trophy.
"Well, if you don't want your wizard chess match tomorrow to be boring, don't try to peek at the outcome." Nico reached out and wiped the scene on the crystal ball, "Knowing the future that has been destined will make You’re not interested in what happens next.”
"Um."
Albert agreed very much with Nico's statement. If he knew that he had failed, would he still continue to participate in this wizard chess game?
I’m afraid not!
If you know you are about to win the final competition, you will lose the excitement of finally winning the championship.
The two had a sumptuous lunch at the Flamel couple's place. Albert stuffed the two brick-thick books that Nico handed to him into the deformed lizard skin bag, and followed Sera out of the town of Nicholas. Head to the wizarding streets of the capital Paris.
They will stay there for one night, waiting for the international wizard chess competition tomorrow.
As a recommender of the championship, Albert can directly participate in the 32-16 knockout round without going through selection. However, while enjoying the convenience, there are also some disadvantages. If he loses too badly in the game, those reporters may not write about it. Show mercy.
