Nico Flamel, who was very agile, snatched the black stone away.
Put it in front of your eyes and observe it carefully with the bright light from the magic lamp above your head.
And Dumbledore, who had been standing like a stick for a long time, also came to life.
He moved forward to Nico and took a look at the stone.
After pondering for a moment, he said to Xifa.
"I don't know this, and I haven't felt any unusual magic fluctuations. I haven't heard that there is an... inconspicuous stone hidden in the Sorting Hat."
After listening to Dumbledore's words, Xifa felt a little surprised in his heart.
But this happened thousands of years ago, and there is no good habit of recording history here. Even some real history has become fairy tales.
but!
Xifa and others all turned their attention to Nico Flamel.
This is a historical scroll from a man who lived for hundreds of years!
"This thing looks familiar! Let me look for it..."
Living up to expectations, it is really possible to know Nico Flamel.
After he muttered to himself, he put his fingers near his temple.
After a certain distance, he saw a glistening white light glowing from his fingertips, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a thread and penetrated into his mind.
It seems to be something ancient and long-lasting.
This thread is a highly visible symbol of memory magic.
No matter how inscrutable Occlumency is, it still requires magic to assist self-awareness and stay awake amidst the torrent of memory fragments.
"Ah! Here it is! I found it!"
After a long time, Nico Flamel exclaimed, then released his fingers and slowly opened his eyes.
After opening his eyes, he faced the expectant gazes of everyone.
Nicolas Flamel no longer wanted to talk about it, he explained directly.
"Do you know about the Triwizard Tournament?"
Hearing this, Dumbledore naturally nodded, while Xifer and Cassandra looked at each other.
If Luna or Elise were here, they might know something.
Cassandra...has almost no contact with the outside world, so Xifa naturally doesn't know about some remote things.
The Triwizard Tournament was founded about seven hundred years ago as a friendly competition between the three largest magic schools in Europe. The three schools are Hogwarts, Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Demus.
Trang Magic School. Each school selects a warrior and then competes in three magic projects. The Triwizard Tournament is held every five years, and the three schools take turns hosting it.
Everyone agreed that the tournament was an excellent way to build friendships between young wizards from different countries. But later, too many people died, and the Triwizard Tournament was interrupted. Over the centuries, people made several attempts to resume it.
Competition.
However, it still remains unresolved until now.
Seeing a trace of confusion on Xifa's face, Nico Flamel casually explained a few words out of concern for his younger generation.
After hearing this, Xifa immediately guessed that the Triwizard Tournament might have been planned by Nico Flamel...
However, after he listened to the subsequent conversation between Dumbledore and Nico Flamel, he threw this speculation out of his mind.
Dumbledore was the first to ask: "The Triwizard Tournament is the product of your repairing the holy object, the Goblet of Fire...could it be said that this black gem is the most critical part to fill the gap in the Goblet of Fire?"
"It should be...after all, the inheritance left by those four people. It is reasonable to take the "fuel" that ignites the Goblet of Fire from the Sorting Hat." Nico Flamel nodded, "However, the Goblet of Fire is not with me now.
In my hand, I will write a letter to the Ministry of Magic and ask them to send the Goblet of Fire!"
"Send it over now? Do you want to restart the real trial?" It is true that they can still become good friends across hundreds of years. If Dumbledore hadn't spoken, Xifa would not have heard what Nicolas Flamel wanted to express.
Real meaning!
"Of course, the power left by those four people is what we need now! Look at the Huo they built back then.
Gwartz, there are still many mysterious existences to this day. The development of the magical world over the past thousands of years..."
Nico Flamel let out a long sigh and said melancholy.
"To be honest, when I first entered the magic world, until I refined the magic stone, I was not the strongest."
"I am a scholar and an alchemist. I have been obsessed with theory for hundreds of years and have not made any progress in combat. Even my body and decayed mind have gradually made me regress, but..."
"The current magical world has withered like this..."
As Nico Flamel finished speaking, Dumbledore also sighed.
Xifa was also moved emotionally by the magic power emanating from Nico Flamel on May 1st. Cassandra also accompanied Xifa in silence.
In this way, only in the next room, Elise and Luna were still waving their wands, trying to stabilize the newly born flames in the stove!
The light emitted by the flames illuminates everyone's faces, and the flickering images indicate that time is still passing...
"Are you sure?" After a moment of silence, Dumbledore suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" Nico Flamel put away his sad expression and changed his face instantly. He looked at Dumbledore with a surprised look on his face.
"Albus..." Nico Flamel said slowly after taking a deep look at Professor Dumbledore. "I admit that when those four people were alive, their talents were rarely matched by anyone. But.
!I have lived several times as long as they have been alive!"
"No..." Dumbledore was stunned, smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This was probably an innocuous difference in thinking between him and Nico Flamel.
After hundreds of years of human life, Nico Flamel has long looked down upon life and death.
And Dumbledore lost family ties since he was a child, and then lost friendship... It can be said that he respects and treats the lives of every friend, even the little wizards he has never met.
"Of course I won't doubt your alchemy level. You transformed a broken Goblet of Fire into an unbreakable trial contract."
"I mean, the casualties... Think about it. Every time the Triwizard Tournament is held, it is held under the supervision of the professors and principals of the three schools. Even the Ministry of Magic has mobilized a lot of manpower."
"But the death rate is almost half, and the level difficulty is such that almost everyone is seriously injured in every level."
"Can today's young wizards do the trials designed by the four founders of Hogwarts in that era?"
Dumbledore opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak the rest of the words.
In the end, he didn't say anything, but looked at Nico Flamel with firm eyes.
Even the confused Xifa understood that if Nico Flamel could not guarantee the survival rate of the little wizard.
Then he would not agree to start the trial directly.
Of course, Xifa's guess was still wrong.
But it's not much different.
Dumbledore meant what Nico Flamel wanted to ensure safety.
What's more, if he can't solve this problem.
Then the inheritance of the four founders can only be digested within Hogwarts.
He had already figured out who the four spots would be.
Xifa... No, he has lost the ability to cast spells. It would be too dangerous to enter rashly.
