Hogwarts Staff Maker

Seeing Liu Sen's stunned look, the other party was not angry at all, but said kindly and kindly: "I'm sorry, kid! I didn't scare you, did I?"

"Oh! How could that be! I should be the one to apologize! I saw the door was open, so I walked in!" Liu Sen said hurriedly. The person in front of him was a 666-year-old living antique! The only person in the world who made the Philosopher's Stone!

Nicolas Flamel cast a curious look at him, "Oh, welcome, kid. Albus told me about you... By the way, I haven't introduced myself formally yet. My name is Nicolas Flamel." After saying that, he extended a pale and dry hand to Liu Sen.

Liu Sen quickly shook it, "My name is Liu Sen! It's an honor to meet you!"

There was a crisp sound, and the other party immediately withdrew his hand in pain.

"Ah! Sorry! Did I use too much force?" But Liu Sen was very sure that he didn't use any force at all.

Nicolas Flamel didn't care, as if he was used to it.

He walked steadily to the sofa and slowly sat on it. All his movements were very slow, as if he was made of glass.

"You know, that's what happens when people get old. They become fragile. Sometimes immortality is a pain!"

Liu Sen felt that the way the other person looked at him was very strange, a mixture of love, curiosity and confusion, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"You created the Philosopher's Stone! Why don't you use its vast magical power to restore your youth?"

He hesitated for a moment and said, "My child, the Philosopher's Stone is not always so beautiful! You must know that everything has a price! For example, my wife Perenelle and I have gained eternal life, but we cannot stop aging! What you gain with the Philosopher's Stone, you will lose something else precious!"

Liu Sen frowned and thought hard: "So...I can only choose one between immortality and immortality?"

"That's right!"

"But if I choose not to age, isn't that the same as eternal life?"

Nicolas Flamel chuckled and shook his head. "No, if you choose immortality, then the person who takes the potion will remain young forever... but his life span will not be increased! When his life span ends, the aging that was delayed by the potion will come as expected!"

Liu Sen was uncertain: "So this is an equal exchange?"

"Ah, sometimes it's worse, like losing interest in food or something. Under the effect of the 'drug of immortality', we don't need to eat and won't get hungry."

He raised his hand and pointed to the kitchen, "We haven't cooked in almost 100 years!"

Liu Sen looked at his hands nervously, "I came into contact with the magic power in the Philosopher's Stone two months ago, and I absorbed some of it!"

Nicolas Flamel nodded in understanding. "I felt it from the moment you appeared in France! You have a huge amount of Philosopher's Stone energy in your body! It's incredible! Now you are almost a walking Philosopher's Stone!"

He patted Liu Sen's shoulder gently, his movements so gentle that it seemed as if he was patting a kitten's head.

"But don't worry! You're not absorbing magic power for the sake of gaining anything, so there won't be any problems! Tell me in detail what happened that day!"

Liu Sen breathed a sigh of relief and after recalling the past, he recounted the entire story of how Voldemort activated the Philosopher's Stone to gain enormous vitality, how he competed with him for energy, and finally how he killed the other party.

"It's amazing, you did a great job! I didn't expect there was someone in the world who could absorb so much magic power!"

Liu Sen remembered something and asked in confusion: "Why is there so much magic power in the Philosopher's Stone? It seems to be inexhaustible?"

The other party showed an admiring look: "You observed very carefully! Most people think that the Philosopher's Stone stores a huge amount of magic power! But in fact, its magic power comes from another 'latitude'!"

Liu Sen's eyes widened immediately: "Different dimensions? Multiverse?!"

"Hmm? This word is very novel! You can say that! Hundreds of years ago, when I was doing an experiment, I discovered that latitude by chance. After decades of research, I finally created a tool to communicate with that side - the Philosopher's Stone!

That is a kind of primitive magic! It represents both order and destruction, which is very scary! With the Philosopher's Stone as a link, this magic was extracted. Later, I gradually discovered how to use it, that is, if you pay a certain price, you will get some benefits. "

"If it is an equal exchange, why don't you lose anything when you convert the gold?"

Liu Sen no longer concealed the fact that he had converted a huge amount of gold.

Nicolas Flamel smiled. "Use your little brain and think about what you have not lost?"

"Um... I converted iron into gold, so I gained gold... and lost iron?? Huh? Isn't this equivalent? Wait... maybe in another latitude, iron is more valuable than gold?"

"Who knows? I still don't fully understand this kind of exchange relationship, but most of the time, the Philosopher's Stone is still very useful!"

"By the way, I did an experiment yesterday. An owl that was about to die of old age was transformed into a young bird by the 'elixir of life' I made...but it lost its memory!"

Nicolas Flamel nodded. "A new life is gained, but a lifetime of memories is lost! ... Fair enough. You see, this is the rule for using the Philosopher's Stone!"

The two discussed it further, and Liu Sen gained a new understanding of the side effects of the Philosopher's Stone.

Nicolas Flamel created an elixir that grants immortality, but at the cost of physical weakness, irreversible aging, and the loss of the desire to eat.

"To be honest, when Albus suggested that we destroy the Philosopher's Stone, we completely agreed. After more than 600 years, this world has lost our interest... The more elixirs we take, the more we will lose! I have a feeling that if we continue, we will be driven crazy little by little! Can you imagine what will happen to a person who has lost the novelty of the world and all the good feelings?"

Liu Sen swallowed his saliva. It was indeed terrifying...

"Albus is very worried about you and asked me to talk to you. However, I think he can rest assured. I can see that you are a good child! It doesn't matter if the power of the Philosopher's Stone is in your hands. But remember! When making a choice, don't just think about the good aspects, you must first consider whether the bad aspects are acceptable! What's the Chinese saying? Think twice before you act! This power is extraordinary and must not fall into the hands of people with bad intentions!"

Liu Sen nodded solemnly, "I promise you that I will never abuse that magic power! Make sure to use it carefully!"

Nicolas Flamel nodded with relief, "Oh, by the way, is little Liu Tao okay?"

Liu Sen: ...Little...little guy! You are right!

Nicolas Flamel opened a secret compartment in the wall and the Philosopher's Stone lay inside.

However, he did not touch the Philosopher's Stone. Instead, he took out a photo album, or an address book, with a phoenix painted on the cover.

"This is the original member directory of the Order of the Phoenix. At that time, in order to deal with some dangerous dark wizards, a group of like-minded people gathered together... Your great-grandfather Liu Tao was one of them!"

Liu Sen saw the page about his great-grandfather. There was a magic photo on it. If emergency contact was needed, the person in the photo would quickly run to the photo frame on the other side and notify the real person!

After putting down the photo album, Nicolas Flamel stood up and took him to the side room next to the kitchen in a trot-like manner. The short distance made the old man pant for a while.

There was a round crystal ball, and under the control of Nicolas Flamel, the picture gradually appeared.

First, a speeding car crashes into the Whomping Willow, and then there are daily scenes on campus. In the heavy fog, many horrible things flash by, all of which are things that are about to happen in the future!

Nicolas Flamel looked very tired after making the crystal ball display these prophetic images.

After asking Liu Sen to be more careful, he also patiently discussed some of his experiences in prophecy with Liu Sen.

Liu Sen took out several small inventions and asked the alchemy master to comment on them, including Weasley's magic hair comb, the modified pistol, the magic phone... Nicolas Flamel was all smiles, and after giving suggestions and compliments, he happily expressed that he had more expectations for this world.

The two chatted again about their views on the direction of the magical world. Liu Sen talked about all kinds of magical fantasies, such as interstellar travel, cyber immortality, magical technological civilization, etc. The old man's eyes lit up after listening.

The other party is indeed a great alchemist who has lived for more than 600 years. He is simply a walking library! A mobile experience pack!

Just a few words can make Liu Sen suddenly enlightened! He immediately took out his little notebook and wrote down several pages!

They chatted until the afternoon. Seeing that Nicolas Flamel was getting more and more tired, Liu Sen quickly said goodbye and thanked him from the bottom of his heart for his teaching.
