Chapter 881: A mediocre alchemist

Chapter 881 An ordinary alchemist

 France, Nico’s old house.

Kyle slept almost all day and night, and finally woke up in the early morning of the third day.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a house elf holding a bottle filled with potion and preparing to pour it into his mouth.

"Oh, you're awake." A familiar voice came from the side.

Nicolas Flamel came over with small steps holding a book, "I saw someone breaking into my library yesterday, and I guessed it was you.

"How do you feel? What Tata is holding is a vitality tonic. Drink it. It will be good for you."

"Ah, thank you." Kyle took the potion and poured it into his mouth without hesitation.

A warm current surged down his throat to his limbs, regaining some strength, and his originally groggy brain suddenly became much clearer.

"You're welcome, it's just a bottle of vitality tonic." Nico said with a smile.

"It's not just the potion." Kyle shook his head and picked up the scrapped door key that he had put aside. "Thanks to it, I was able to escape...Nico, did you already know that I would be in Hershey?" The Dilly Islands are hunted by Voldemort."

"What..." Nico was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly, "Of course not, you think too much of my magical power. I am just an alchemist. How can I know what will happen in six or seven years?"

"But I remember, you have a crystal ball." Kyle blinked.

Everyone who knows Nico knows that he has a special crystal ball and the success rate of predictions is almost 100%.

"You said that." Nico said with a smile: "That crystal ball was a work jointly completed by seven of the most famous diviners and me three hundred years ago, but it can only predict things related to me, and it can also predict things that are related to me. Only certain things that are happening can be predicted.

"We first met six years ago. This is beyond the prediction range of the crystal ball."

"Huh?" Kyle was a little confused.

"No, then when you gave me the door key, why did you say that I would be able to use it sooner or later.

"I was almost killed by Voldemort this time. I only escaped with this portkey. It just happened to be right."

"Um...this..."

After Nico was silent for a moment, he said: "Actually, I didn't think much about it. I just think that your character is a little out of touch, very different from Albus, and your actions and thoughts are unpredictable.

"According to my experience, people like you are usually not honest children. Giving you the door key is just a whim to give you a way to save your life, nothing more."

"Out of character?" Kyle pointed at himself, "Me?"

"Hmm?" Nico raised his eyebrows and teased: "A normal person would not think of stuffing her into his own magical zoo when he saw the little girl from the Delacour family for the first time.

"Although she does have Veela blood, it is only a quarter. She is more of a wizard, not a magical animal."

"Uh..." Kyle was speechless for a moment.

Well, he did have this thought when he first met Fleur, but he always thought that he hid it well and no one knew about it.

"That...Nico...you..."

"Don't worry, Olim doesn't know about this, and neither does the little girl from the Delacour family." Nico seemed to have guessed what Kyle wanted to say, and explained with a smile.

"This is just my personal guess, it is the unique experience of the old wizard."

"That's good." Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

Ms. Maxim didn't care, but Fleur was now very close to Connor and even lived together. If she knew that he had once put her in the same category as magical beasts, she didn't know what to say to Connor.

It's terrible.

It's better not to know.

Seeing Kyle's frightened look, Nick laughed even more wickedly...happily.

"Now it seems that my experience is quite accurate, that is, the time you used the door key was later than I thought."

"It's still too late!"

"I heard about the things you did from Albus." Nico glanced at Kyle meaningfully, "I thought that Voldemort should go to you after he was resurrected."

Not to mention anything else, it was impossible for Voldemort to let go of the three Horcruxes that Kyle brought over, let alone take away Voldemort's identity and token...the basilisk.

This is already unrelenting hatred.

"Perhaps you should thank that kid named Harry Potter. He helped you share a lot of hatred."

"Harry..." Kyle touched his chin.

That's true. After all, before this, Voldemort's attention had always been on Harry, the savior, and he only glanced at himself occasionally.

Think again about the things you have done.

In his second year, he repeatedly jumped on Voldemort's head and threatened him to hand over the method of making Horcruxes.

Third grade... Oh, third grade is a diary. Strictly speaking, the protagonist is Tom Riddle, which has nothing to do with the current Voldemort.

In the fourth grade, he threw his servant Wormtail into Azkaban. In the fifth grade, he made a big fuss about the resurrection ceremony. In the sixth grade, he was dragged directly from the darkness to the light...

Each of these things was provoking Voldemort, but his eyes were still fixed on the savior.

It wasn't until he saw the basilisk in Godric's Hollow last time that he made room for Kyle in his heart for the first time.

From this point of view, Harry is really a good person and has bought himself enough time to develop.

I have to thank Harry...

Kyle thought about bringing him some candy the next time he went to Hogwarts. He remembered that Harry liked sweets.

"Get up quickly, Tata has prepared food." Nico interrupted Kyle's random thoughts, "I guess you are hungry too."

"Gululu..."

It's okay not to say it. When Nico said this, Kyle's stomach suddenly became unhappy.

After sleeping all day and night, he was indeed hungry.

While the two were talking, the house elf Tata walked in with seven or eight plates from nowhere, looking like he was performing acrobatics.

The smell of fried pork chops and roasted beef shank almost made Kyle's mouth water.

"Then I'm not welcome." Kyle stood up and started stuffing food into his mouth. At the same time, he took the time to ask about the situation in the Heshidry Islands.

"I don't know." Nico said simply: "I don't care about Voldemort and Death Eaters, most of these things were told to me by Albus.

"However, the black dragon of the Hesidian Islands did not appear elsewhere. I think it must have been solved."

"That's good." Kyle stuffed another piece of fried potatoes into his mouth and drank it down with pumpkin juice.

"Nico..." After eating and drinking, Kyle blinked and said shyly: "Do you have any extra door keys?"

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you." Nico said, "The one I gave you was made from the last fragment of the magic stone, and all of it has been used up."

"Are there no extra magic stones?" Kyle asked reluctantly.

The main thing is that this thing is really easy to use. It has no restrictions, ignores distance, and can instantly return to a safe house by consuming a small amount of magic power. It is simply murderous and extravagant... It is simply the best choice to save your life.

"Extra magic stones?" Nico raised his head and looked at Kyle with a complicated look, "Are you looking down on me a little too much? I'm just a mediocre alchemist who has lived a little longer. Just a teacher.

"It's already a miracle if I can help you make the second piece."

"Okay." Kyle sighed quietly.

What a pity.

"But..." Nico paused suddenly, and then said slowly: "You can try to do it yourself. I remember that you have a good relationship with Albus's Phoenix. When it comes to nirvana next time, you will have materials. ”

"Um?"

Kyle's eyes lit up.

Yes, the most important material of the magic stone is the ashes left after the Phoenix's nirvana. He really has a way with this stuff.

"What do I do?"

"You've asked the right person." Nico smiled slightly and took out a piece of parchment. "The process is all here. Take a good look at it."

Kyle lowered his head subconsciously.

It was just a very ordinary piece of parchment, almost the same as a page of a book, but when he saw the content clearly, there was a sudden buzz in his head.

He seemed to see a universe. Various magic texts, magic formulas, and symbols are stacked on top of each other to form a huge pattern, and then countless patterns form another formula, superimposed infinitely, as if there is no end.

God knows how this small piece of parchment could fit so much content.

Kyle felt that if these contents were taken out one by one, they would definitely fill the library.

Just looking at it made Kyle's head ache. Like...like Ron wrote a hundred Ancient Runes homework assignments in a row.

Fortunately, Nico blocked the parchment with his hand in time.

"It doesn't matter." He said with a smile: "The process of making something like the Magic Stone is indeed a little difficult, you can take your time and watch it."

"Is this a little harder... a little bit?" Kyle held out his thumb and index finger.

The universe between fingers is also popular among wizards, right?

"Anyway, the normal nirvana time for a phoenix is ​​one hundred and fifty years. This time should be enough." Nico said, "When I tried to make the magic stone, it only took more than a hundred years. I believe you can do it too. of."

"This..." Kyle smacked his lips.

If you think about it carefully, Nico was launched from scratch. Now that all the processes have been laid out, the difficulty can almost be said to have dropped sharply.

But...

Kyle glanced at the parchment again.

He found that he didn't seem to want the Philosopher's Stone that much. Even if he didn't have the Portkey, he still had Fox.

Phoenix can take him everywhere, but it's simpler and more efficient.

"Nico..." Kyle changed the subject: "Did you try all of this by yourself?"

"It doesn't count." Nico shook his head, "Actually, I referred to the Jade Record."

"Is it the Jade Record I thought about?" Kyle asked in disbelief.

"If there is no second alchemy book with this name, this should be it."

Nico said calmly. He glanced at Kyle, whose eyes were shining. "But first, please collect your thoughts. That book has some kind of consciousness. After I made the magic stone, it inexplicably Disappeared and never appeared again in so many years.”

"Disappeared...disappeared?"

"Yes." Nico said, "It was obviously placed nearby, but when I turned around it disappeared, as if it had never appeared."

To be honest, Kyle was indeed very curious about Cuiyulu and wanted to take a closer look.

But who wouldn't want to think about it? It is a treasure that can be called the holy book of alchemy. It is more famous than the Three Sacred Artifacts. From the time there were records of wizards, there are still legends about it until now.

However, the Alchemical Codex is conscious and can run on its own... well, that makes sense.

"Look at this, it's the same." Nico pushed the parchment again.

"Really gave it to me?" Kyle couldn't help but ask.

"What, you don't want it?"

"Think!" Kyle blurted out.

This is the process of making the magic stone. Even if it is like a heavenly book, it is rare and outrageous, but if it is put outside, it will definitely cause a **** storm.

After receiving Nico's affirmative answer, Kyle carefully put the parchment into the box.

Kyle doesn't plan to read it in the short term. After all, he doesn't have enough alchemy knowledge to understand it.

So Kyle planned to hide it in a safe enough place first.

Sniffing is good, but this little thing is too naughty and might run away one day, as Newt learned from his mistakes.

The fire dragon... likes to breathe fire when he sleeps, so stop burning the parchment.

After looking around, Kyle set his sights on the basilisk.

He detached a scale from the basilisk, drilled a hole vertically, and used the Seamless Extension Charm to expand the space enough to fit a piece of parchment, and then used the Permanent Adhesion Charm to attach it to the basilisk.

The position he chose was very good. It was relatively inside. Even if the basilisk sheds its skin, it would not have any impact at all. It was perfect.

After doing all this, Kyle clapped his hands and walked out of the box.

At this time, the sky outside was completely bright, and the early morning sunlight filtered in from the window, making it quiet and peaceful.

Nico sat there, playing with a golden airship model.

"Where are you going?" Kyle asked.

He remembered this airship, Nico's means of travel. Perhaps it was because his bones could no longer bear the apparation and portkeys, so Nico usually chose this method when traveling far away.

"Hogwarts." Nico said, taking out a golden pocket watch. "Remember? I have to give this to you."

"Time turner?" Of course Kyle knew what that pocket watch was, and he gave it to Professor Victor.

"Is it today?" Kyle was a little surprised.

If he remembered correctly, the day Nico sent the time turner was the day he returned to a hundred years ago.

In other words, time has closed its loop and is back on track.

After the surprise, comes the surprise.

"Want to come together?" Nico invited.

"No problem." Kyle said. He happened to be going back to inquire about the Heshidry Islands. Now that he had a ready-made hitchhiker, he didn't have to use an owl to send a letter to send himself back.

Kyle took a step forward and didn't see what Nico did. Everything in front of him suddenly changed slightly.

The scene outside the window began to move. The roof of a certain building that could still be seen turned into a cloud in the blink of an eye.

The whole house seemed to be flying in the sky.

Kyle walked to the window and looked down.

They were really flying, and from this position, he could even see another old house on the street below.

This reminded Kyle of what Nico said just now...an ordinary alchemist.

It’s so commonplace to use your entire house as a means of transportation.

…

The speed of the airship was faster than Kyle imagined. Just as he was stunned, the streets of Paris disappeared and were replaced by a familiar castle.

Hogwarts, are we here?

There was no dizziness, no weightlessness, and no feeling of being dragged around. Everything was so natural, as if I had just taken two steps out of the house, so smooth and smooth.

Kyle blinked, liked it, wanted it.

When that wandering wizard named Lenis attacks Nicol Manor, this airship will be in line behind the opera house.

Of course, the premise is that Alastor Moody can spare his life.

"I always feel that you are thinking of something bad." Nico's voice came from behind.

"How is that possible? It must be an illusion." Kyle turned around and showed a standard smile.

"You don't understand the intuition of an old wizard." If Nico was just suspicious just now, he was now sure that Kyle must be thinking of something bad.

But he didn't care, or he was used to it.

It would be strange if Kyle didn't have those random thoughts one day.

"Are you going to Hogwarts with me?"

"No." Kyle shook his head, "Now the other me has not left. Before time is completely back on track, it is better for me to be separated from him as much as possible."

"There is still some time, do you need me to see you off first?"

"No need this time, see you later, Nico." After saying that, Kyle disapparated and disappeared into the room.

He planned to go to the Ministry of Magic first to inquire about the Heshidry Islands, and also to Tonks in Cornwall to confirm her situation.
