Chapter 791: It's time to jump to the prophet again
Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.
"So, it looks like I won?"
Amidst the crackling fire in the fireplace, Elena carefully examined the magic stone in her hand. The bright red color reflected in her lake-blue eyes, showing an extremely coquettish and dangerous crimson light.
The Philosopher's Stone is an alchemical holy object that is said to be able to bring people back to life and permanently change matter at the atomic level.
Both successive magical governments and the known owners of the Philosopher's Stone have always been very secretive about the birth process of the Philosopher's Stone. Several centuries have passed, and people don't even know what the raw materials are for refining the Philosopher's Stone.
Or, to put it more accurately - no one wants to believe that speculation based on equivalent exchange.
Even Tom Riddle, who desperately longed for immortality, did not choose to pursue this path. Instead, he devoted himself to studying the dangerous Horcrux magic. Compared with refining the magic stone, the manufacture of Horcruxes is obviously more demanding.
Much easier.
War is always the double-edged sword that most easily promotes civilizational innovation, and this applies equally no matter where it is.
Just as the non-magical world "wrongly evolved" atomic weapons in the technology tree during World War II, the magical world has obviously had a "wrong evolution" in this regard, but it is different from the "wrong evolution" that took place in the "human forbidden realm" and began to explore.
Governments and wizards in the non-magical world almost unanimously chose to seal this knowledge.
"Then according to the previous agreement, you have to satisfy my little curiosity. As for this magic stone, I think it is best for you to keep it. After all, in this world, there are only those who can use reason to moderate it.
It’s really too little.”
"As for the doubts in your mind, I can try to answer you now -"
Elena took one last look at the magic stone in her hand and put it back into the hands of the great alchemist without any hesitation.
"Mr. Flamel, you should have heard of a prophet, right? I mean... the kind with vision."
"Well, I knew a little bit about it when I was young."
Nicoléme looked thoughtfully at the magic stone that was back in his hand, with a strange look flashing in his eyes.
"So you want to tell me that you are the legendary prophet. Because you foresee a terrible disaster, you plan to take advantage of your foresight and rely on us old men who are about to die to change the future together?"
In the magic world, in addition to common magic abilities, there are also some extremely rare magic bloodlines.
There are some wizards who are born with the ability to talk to animals, and the most famous ones are naturally the descendants of Salazar Slytherin.
Some wizards have the innate ability to see into the future. They can see into the future through dreams, the shape of tea leaves, tarot cards or crystal balls. The most famous seer in the British wizarding world is Cassandra Trelaw.
Nee, who is also the ancestor of Sybill Trelawney, the current Divination professor at Hogwarts.
Among prophets, there is occasionally a very rare talent. They can "see" the future directly instead of making vague predictions through divination. This is also the most enviable thing about the Trelawny family.
Features.
"However, this alone may not be enough..."
Nico Flamel paused for a few seconds and looked at Elena with a half-smile.
Even when Cassandra Trelawney was alive, people did not completely rely on her predictions, not to mention that the Tarot prediction method was developed by Nico and a few old friends. For him, it is even more important.
It's not very convincing.
As the only remaining great alchemist in the world today, Nico Flamel is not the kind of wizard who is easily convinced.
Although he is indeed somewhat interested in the world where magic and science merge as described by Elena, for a long-lived wizard like him, if there is no full motivation and reason, he will also weigh the energy he puts in.
