Chapter 240: Nicoléme
Chapter 240 Nicoléme
The piece of magic stone fell together with Kyle. It spun twice in mid-air and was immediately caught by a hand.
Kyle put away the magic stone fragments and then looked up at his position.
After knowing that he needed to use the portkey, Kyle thought about many different outcomes. He originally thought that he would end up in front of a magnificent manor, or near a wizard village...
After all, those reclusive old wizards like this method. Just like Newt, he made his home in the remote mountains and forests.
But Kyle never thought that he would actually appear on a very busy Muggle street...
He looked at the huge restaurant sign in front of him with some surprise.
There were many pedestrians coming and going around, but none of them seemed to notice the sudden appearance of Kyle. They all walked past him with normal expressions on their faces, as if he had always been here.
The sound of car horns kept coming from all around, and Kyle cast his sights further away.
At the front left, you can vaguely see a towering spire...
"Paris?" Kyle frowned slightly, and he had a general understanding of his position.
Because he knew early on that the place he was going to this time was not Devon, but France, so after a brief surprise, Kyle quickly returned to normal.
The streets are just streets. After all, he is a legendary wizard who has lived for more than six hundred years. His thoughts are naturally different from theirs. It would not be surprising even if he makes his home on the monkey mountain in the zoo.
The most important thing now is to find the person first.
Kyle thought for a moment.
The door key should have been made by Nicolas Flamel or Dumbledore, so the placement must be correct. And it's impossible for Nicoléme to appear in the shops on both sides of the street, so...
“The Brave Loyalty Curse?”
Kyle found the envelope that Dumbledore had given him before in his pocket, opened it quickly, and pulled out a blank note from inside.
Although the note was blank, the moment he opened it, Kyle heard a clear murmur.
That’s a number.
“No. 51!”
…
Then the note suddenly burned out of thin air and fell to the ground.
As soon as Kyle raised his head, he saw an exquisite wooden door with gilded patterns suddenly appeared between the restaurant and the record store in front of him... then light blue walls and spotless windows also appeared.
It looks like an extra house has suddenly expanded, pushing out everything on either side.
Kyle smacked his lips. In the restaurant, the waiters were still chatting leisurely, and the melodious music in the record store kept playing. It was obvious that the people inside didn't feel anything.
Kyle walked forward quickly and frowned at the newly conjured door.
There is no handle on the door, only a small groove that looks like it was hit by something, and it doesn't look like a keyhole.
Keir drew his wand…
As expected, the unlocking spell had no response.
“Is this a test?
But Dumbledore never said there was such a thing..."
Just when Kyle was hesitating about what to do next, the gilt patterns on the door suddenly twisted. They were entangled with each other, and gradually formed a golden pattern.
“Ahead of you is a fast river.
The song of the Magic Flute destroyed the bridge to the other side.
To continue moving forward, you must find the four missing branches...
One of them was picked up by the knight and taken to the countryside;
One of the sticks hit a butterfly and was accidentally picked up by my wife;
One that witnessed the wedding vows...one that showed off its power over people's heads...
Go ahead and find them... Or you can give your treasure to the mermaids on the shore, and they will help you move forward. "
Looking at those golden squiggles, Kyle narrowed his eyes slightly.
These contents are not difficult to understand.
The bridge should refer to this door, which means that if you want to open it, you must find four key things...and the following words are their clues.
Kyle raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, and quickly found the most critical parts of each sentence.
The Magic Flute…knight, country…butterfly, wife…
If you slightly change their order and meaning, it will become:
The Magic Flute, The Knight Rider, Madame Butterfly…
These are all the names of famous operas. Although he couldn't think of the last two for the time being, they should also be related to operas.
“You’re asking me to go to the opera house to look for clues?”
Kyle did not move, but looked at the last paragraph.
The meaning of this sentence is also very obvious...if you don’t want to look for it, you can still get by with money.
But the money here definitely does not refer to gold galleons.
Kyle noticed that there was a shallow groove just below this sentence. He seemed to suddenly think of something and took out the magic stone fragment from his pocket.
Whether it is size or shape, this fragment is exactly the same as the groove on the door. Needless to say, this must be the so-called "treasure".
“Nicholas Flamenco has no intention of recovering the fragments of the Philosopher’s Stone?”
Kyle was a little surprised.
Looking at the meaning above, it seems that as long as he can find the clues corresponding to the four operas, he can keep this precious fragment of the magic stone.
On the one hand, it takes time to find clues, and on the other hand, there are fragments of the magic stone... Is there any need to think about it?
Kyle raised his hand and pressed the fragment into the groove decisively.
The Philosopher's Stone can indeed drive countless people crazy, but a destroyed Philosopher's Stone is useless.
Like chopsticks broken into more than a dozen pieces, or parts of Lego blocks, they are completely worthless and it is a pity to throw them away if they are tasteless.
If it was really useful, it wouldn't be turned into a door key.
Oh, by the way, if you take it to Diagon Alley and sell it, you should be able to get a lot of Galleons.
With the magic stone as a gimmick, I believe many pure-blood families would be willing to spend a lot of galleons to buy it.
Thinking of this, Kyle raised his hand with some pain, trying to pull off the pieces again.
But by this time, the fragments had been perfectly embedded into the grooves.
…
The door slowly disappeared, and the room became larger and larger, soon occupying the entire street.
Seemingly in the blink of an eye, the shops turned into exquisite pillars, and all the pedestrians disappeared.
Kyle found himself in a grand hall, with warm yellow marble beneath his feet, and the walls above his head and around him were a blue that changed at any time.
Moreover, you can vaguely see many golden symbols with unknown meanings on it. I don’t know if it is to add a sense of mystery or if it has an ulterior motive.
“Aha, Olim, you lose!”
A familiar voice came from the side,
“I’ve said it before, this kid will definitely be the first one to come in... Hurry up, you have to give me two galleons.”
