Chapter seven hundred and ninetieth confrontation and self-introduction
Tarot cards are an ancient and mysterious divination tool.
It first appeared in the late fourteenth century and was very popular among nobles in various European countries. Almost at the same time as it appeared, the Holy See announced a total ban on tarot cards and characterized them as an atlas of the devil and a pagan.
thing.
In that era, "devils" and "pagans" could only describe one person - wizards.
An even more interesting coincidence is that around the time when Tarot cards were born, there happened to be a wizard in the magic world who fit the description of "Magician 01" in all aspects, Nicholas Flamel, the leader of European alchemy.
Ancestor.
"So, it's really you. It's really amazing——"
Elena looked at Nico Flamel with great interest, without any fear on her face.
In fact, Elena had envisioned such a scene ever since she planned to invite this living legend.
As the great alchemist who refined the Philosopher's Stone, Nicol Flamel was never a harmless wizard who stayed aloof from the world.
The Middle Ages ended in the mid-fifteenth century. The most important opportunity for it to come to an end was the Black Death, which claimed one-third of the lives of Europeans. It is worth pondering that the birth of the Philosopher's Stone and the witch hunt happened at about the same time.
time.
Perhaps, this seemingly righteous great alchemist was once the craziest Dark Lord in the world.
The scene before her just confirmed part of Elena's previous guesses.
Faced with a disparity in strength and an unknown situation between ourselves and the enemy, Nico Flamel chose the most decisive, decisive, and at the same time the most admirable approach - he would rather let Hogwarts be razed to the ground than let the world
Submerged into darkness again.
"It's nothing special. The Philosopher's Stone shouldn't exist in the first place——"
Nico Flamel shook his head with a complicated expression and sighed.
"Originally, I thought that after destroying my own magic stone, there would no longer be another magic stone in this world. I didn't expect you to find Paracelsus. What makes me most regretful is that he actually showed up today.
did not come……"
"There is no conflict. If you refuse directly, then he will be the new O5-1."
Elena shrugged her shoulders and explained generously.
Hogwarts lacks the extremely important course of alchemy, which is a very fatal gap.
After more than a year of studying, Elena clearly realized the difference between potions class and chemistry class. Once the spell casting in the process of brewing potion was removed, no matter how perfect the reproduction was,
There is no way to make the finished product magical.
In comparison, alchemy, which explores the transformation of matter, is the discipline closest to the fields of modern physics and chemistry.
Whether it's mathematics, physics, chemistry, alchemy - these are the ways in which humans search for truth.
Without this knowledge, no matter how hard she squeezed the scholars and destiny wizards of the former Soviet Union, at most she would just use magical means to take a scientific path, rather than pursuing the explanation of the same goal in the true sense.
Because of this, she was willing to try to invite these alchemists, even if there might be some danger.
However, this does not mean that she will get used to these remnants of the old era - the new world has opened, and she is looking for like-minded companions, rather than supporting a group of ancestors who may backlash at any time.
"As for the so-called regrets in your mouth..."
Elena raised her eyebrows and gently stroked the beautiful golden-red bird next to her with a teasing tone.
"Dear Mr. Nico Flamel, not to mention Hogwarts's magic ban on phantom movement, there is no way to keep all wizards in this room. The most important point is that what you are worried about is a thought, and you cannot
Kill it... Even if you wipe the entire Scottish Highlands off the map, you won't be able to stop the gradual fusion of magic and non-magic."
"Obviously, the threat of death doesn't seem to be that effective here - neither for you nor me."
"Phoenix? This is indeed a good way to leave..."
Nico Flamel nodded thoughtfully and looked around the wizards in the room.
From now on, everyone, including Albus Dumbledore, has remained silent, taking the initiative to give the right to speak to the mixed-blood Veela in front of them. Unless they are all under the Imperius Curse, this situation will only happen.
Can explain a little bit.
Before that, she had already proved her status through a series of actions and gained the recognition of everyone present.
It seems that an unprecedented little monster has appeared in the magic world.
This in turn eliminated his previous worries. Grindelwald did not turn his back on the guest and make a comeback.
But the more this happened, the more wary and confused the alchemist master became. For centuries, he had never met and did not believe that such a young monster could appear in this world, even if the fact had already appeared to him.
in front of my eyes.
Immediately afterwards, Nico Flamel's eyes became sharp and he stared at Elena closely.
"Then who are you? What is the purpose of all this?!"
"me……"
Elena pondered for a few seconds, then straightened her face and said sternly.
"My name is Elena Kaslana. I am 11 years old. I study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I return to the lounge at ten o'clock at the latest every day and go to bed at eleven o'clock in the evening. Basically, I can
I slept soundly until dawn, like a baby without any fatigue or stress, and welcomed the next morning like this. The health check results also showed that I was normal..."
"So, what are you talking about?" Nico Flamel frowned heavily.
"I want to explain that I am a very normal little witch no matter how you look at it. I don't stick to winning or losing, don't dwell on worries, and don't make enemies that will keep me awake at night. This is also my role in the magical world.
Survival attitude.”
Elena smiled sweetly and walked up to Nico Flamel with the phoenix in her arms.
"How about we make a bet? I bet you won't destroy Hogwarts."
"Especially after you boarded the Hyperion and saw the 'Philosopher's Stone' made by Muggles in the non-magical world, you won't be willing to ruin it all. If you win, I lose to you
A complete Gringotts Wizarding Bank. If you lose, then you only need to help me answer a little question left in the History of Magic class..."
As the girl said this, she stretched out her hand and took the magic stone from Nico Flamel's hand very naturally.
There are no accidents in this world, only inevitability - in Elena's view, from the moment the great alchemist arrived at Hogwarts, he had already given his answer, and the rest was just
It's just a temptation and an excuse.
For an old wizard like Nico Flamel, all he needs is a reason to live.
At this time in Hogwarts, there are too many truths that the alchemist can continue to explore.
She didn't know how long Nico Flamel could continue to burn, but at least one thing was certain. As long as Nico Flamel reopened the field of alchemy in the wizarding world at Hogwarts, she would be able to make this happen.
The disciplines will continue to be open forever.
After all, what the wizarding world needs now is just a reasonable explanation.
