Flamel and Dumbledore have known each other for hundreds of years, and their relationship is very close.
The secret keepers of the old people's safe houses are each other, and over the course of a century, facts have proven each other's loyalty and reliability.
Dumbledore brought Ani here today to prepare for Flamel's reincarnation in a few years.
As the richest man in the wizarding world, Flamel would definitely not let Aini do his job for free.
One has increased confidence, and the other has gained benefits. It can be described as a win-win situation.
"After you leave, I will completely seal this place. The Blue Tower is the space in the sapphire ring. It contains most of my six hundred years of alchemy experience. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask Dumbledore. This guy
Very talented, what a pity..."
Flamel's words made Dumbledore blush. In the past hundred years, he was the only one who would call himself "boy" when he was relaxing... but it was hard for people to find fault with him.
Then Dumbledore raised his eyebrows. What has he learned over the past six hundred years? Why do you feel that this old guy wants to compete with him to be the successor?
Ani felt a little numb. When he first got the double rings, he sighed that Flamel had given him too much, but he didn't expect that there was part of the legendary alchemist's inheritance inside.
How about becoming a disciple now?
I don’t feel comfortable returning this favor...
"Don't be stressed. I can see that you, like Albus, will not concentrate on alchemy. Those books are not that important to me, so just take them with ease."
Even though it was the first time that Flamel and Aini met, the pure atmosphere can prove a person's quality better than a hundred years of interaction. He really has no other purpose, he just wants to habitually invest in the future.
Flamel has done similar things many times, including the great wizard who was originally scheduled to cooperate with Dumbledore in performing rituals, and therefore joined his service.
Knowledge is the least valuable thing. After all, books can be copied, and the paper and pen and ink are not as valuable as the mithril refined into a ring.
Knowledge is also the most precious treasure. For those who have no way to seek knowledge, the words in the Blue Tower can make them crazy!
The old man and the older man exchanged glances, and the two Legilimency masters easily completed the exchange of information.
Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that if Flamel suddenly invited Ani to stay, his retirement plan would be ruined again.
"Thank you, Nico. When you need me, I will do my best."
Ani knows that verbal gratitude is too pale in front of the other party's luxurious gift, but before responding with actual actions, he must at least show his proper attitude.
You can't do nothing just because you can't do it now, and you can't do nothing just because what you can give is far less than what you get from the other party.
Don't use excuses about how you will do it in the future. There is no conflict between repaying the favor in the future and thanking you in person.
"Hey, don't worry too much. Well, it's time for lunch. There is no more authentic French flavor than here."
Flamel was very impressed by the young man's attitude and asked the two of them to go outside.
……
That night, Aini and Hagrid had a drink, and then returned to the tree house under Norberta's reluctant eyes, and fell asleep happily.
This trip was very fruitful, but what struck his most chords was not the two rings with built-in spaces, but the beautifully crafted little goat in the magic pocket.
When Aini asked about the little baby at home, Flamel gave him this——
A door key to the Faroe Islands.
Nico's ecological garden is right there!
The Faroe Islands are located between the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean and are now an overseas autonomous territory of Denmark.
In the eyes of Muggles, the Faroe Islands are just a barren land with continuous rain. Due to its high latitude, the temperature is low all year round. Even in the hottest summer, the average temperature is only about 10 degrees.
Fortunately, there is a warm North Atlantic current passing through, so the winter in the archipelago is not too cold and can basically stay above zero. Otherwise, the already sparse population would have been halved and then halved again.
In the eyes of Muggles, the Faroe Islands have a weak planting industry, poor mineral resources, remote location, frequent rains and strong winds. If it were not supported by fisheries, the economic value would be pitifully low.
But in another world that Muggles cannot see, the Faroe Islands are a complete [Feng Shui] treasure.
Centered on the western end of the archipelago, the nearby wind and water elements are highly active and are about to form permanent water eyes and wind vents. Since the destruction of the Dark Ages, such terrain has been extremely rare. It is not an exaggeration to call it a "treasure land".
.
Not to mention that there is a large magic node in the center of the water and wind field, which is no less than the one that has been nourished for thousands of years at Hogwarts.
Flamel's ecological park was established based on magic nodes. He has invested a lot of energy over hundreds of years and it is his private domain.
The magical creatures that Newt entrusted to Flamel's care are currently being fostered here.
After saying goodbye after lunch, Aini went to the Faroe Islands and played with his friends all afternoon. If he hadn't made an appointment with Hagrid in advance, he would have even wanted to stay until Monday for class...
Fortunately, with the portkey and Flamel's authorization, he could go whenever he wanted, and finally no longer had to worry about his friends being left unattended.
Well, it seems that there is no need to worry. There is no shortage of people to take care of Flamel's ecological park. There are many wizards under his command stationed there all year round, and there are also many house elves responsible for various basic tasks.
However, being able to see each other at any time will make the mood when parting completely different. It is like leaving a cat owner in a friend's house when traveling far away. Even though you know that the other person will take good care of you, you still cannot help feeling worried.
"Meow~"
In the early morning, when his master was about to wake up, Tom quickly got out of bed and ran to the foot of the bed with his back to him.
When Aini opened his eyes, this was what he saw.
Yesterday, Tom smelled a lot of different scents from his master and was jealous all night long.

"Tom, I brought you something delicious. Meat strips made by the world's greatest alchemist. Do you want to try them?"
Aini took out two emerald red meat strips with a smile, and the air was suddenly filled with an alluring aroma.
It smells so good, meow!
Tom suddenly flashed his little nose and resisted the urge to turn around and surrender.

"Be good, eat quickly."
The kitten was sucking the disobedient saliva, and the top of its head suddenly felt warm. The owner's big hand gently stroked it, and two fragrant meat sticks appeared near its mouth.
Eat it up, eat it up, eat it up~
Two roots, four roots, six roots, eight roots...
The cat rubbed its owner's hand, meow? What were you insisting on just now?
Jumping into Ani's arms, Tom curled up into a comfortable position, his furry little face full of happiness.
What bad intentions does the kitten have?
It is just afraid of losing the love of its master.
Please be kind to these furry babies and don’t get angry at their little quirks.
You can have many friends, but in their world, you are the only one...
