Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Annan frowned slightly.
He remembered the name.
——[Hermetic Philosopher’s Stone].
This is the full name of the Philosopher's Stone that Annan injected before.
So Annan asked nonchalantly: "What is that?
"Are they spreading some forbidden knowledge?"
Hearing this, Salvatore on the side also raised his ears and listened attentively.
Because he also remembered... this name was mentioned in the notes left by Benjamin.
Different from Kaifuni.
As an ordinary person, Albert did not have the ability to detect the tension of the two extraordinary beings, Annan and Salvatore.
"That's not true."
He just shrugged and said casually: "Actually, it's just a wandering wizard and his followers. They formed an organization that is similar to the Archaeological Association and a bit like a philosophical school. However, there are not many extraordinary people in it.
…So we didn’t care much about it.
"But when the wizard first met Kafni, he praised her for her outstanding talents."
When His Highness Albert said this, he glanced at Kafni.
Seeing that Kaifuni was just silent and turned her head slightly without saying anything, Albert touched his nose and smiled awkwardly: "But after he left, Kaifuni suddenly said...
…He’s a devil.”
"I'm just saying, his soul is like a demon."
Kafni corrected.
"At that time, I didn't realize Kaifuni's talent. So I didn't pay much attention to Kaifuni's words..."
Albert explained: "But I gave the order just in case, asking the guards to keep an eye on him and not to let him get close to Kafni again."
"He did not come back after that."
Kafni said softly: "But I saw him in my dream, and he taught me common sense about the extraordinary world in my dream... He is my mentor."
"……What?"
Albert was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you tell me?"
Kafni glanced at him and said with great certainty: "If there is no evidence, Dad, you won't believe it."
Hearing this, Albert scratched the tip of his nose in embarrassment.
He defended in a weak tone: "I discovered that he was wearing gold jewelry at the time, so I sent someone to inquire with Zedi Black Tower just to be on the safe side. The wizard was not a big shot.
"The news from the Black Tower is very certain - among all the current gold-level wizards, there is no one with this name.
"This shows that at least he is not a gold-level wizard... A silver-level transcendent cannot make any trouble in the capital."
Albert shrugged and said nonchalantly: "There are several gold-level extraordinary beings hidden in the royal court alone. That is the royal capital, not another city..."
This is true.
Annan nodded in agreement.
For now, in terms of the expressiveness of the silver-level extraordinary people he has seen... the gap between it and the gold-level one is indeed a bit far.
If there is a gold-level guard, it is basically difficult for a silver-level transcendent to make any big moves.
"So, what's the name of that wandering wizard?"
Salvatore asked curiously: "Your Highness, do you still remember?"
"Yes, I remember. Because Kafni said he looked like a devil, I remembered his name."
Albert quickly replied: "If I remember correctly, his name should be...
"——Nicholas Flamel."
"...Nicholas Flamel?"
At this moment, Shadow, who had been silent for a while, suddenly muttered to himself in confusion: "Wait a minute, I have an impression of this name -"
Seeing the shadows, they were surprised by this name, and Salvatore's heart suddenly tightened.
Although he had no impression of the name, Salvatore was impressed by his shadow's character and memory...
A name that can make it even laugh out loud is definitely not an ordinary person.
"Something's happened, Sal. Quickly ask this stupid guy if he has long white curly hair and dark green eyes?"
After a very brief delay, Shadow quickly said in Salvatore's heart.
Realizing the urgency of the matter, Salvatore did not doubt Shadow.
He just asked immediately: "Your Highness, the person you are talking about...does he have white curly hair and green eyes?"
Hearing this, Albert was startled.
Kafni also raised her head at the same time and looked at Salvatore carefully, with some doubts in her eyes.
The old Bishop Bread, who had been silent all this time, also raised his head thoughtfully.
His Highness Albert asked tentatively: "Do you know him?"
His inquiry had already given Salvatore the answer.
His expression quickly turned ugly.
Salvatore followed the shadow word by word and said: "I have heard of this name. He is indeed not any gold-level wizard that exists 'currently'...
"I mean, he should be...dead now."
Salvatore speaks amazingly.
Under the silent gazes of several other people, including the players, Salvatore stuttered a little, followed the shadow's voice, filtered out the curse words and then said: "Nicolas Flamel, he...
...He was once the transformation sect instructor of the 'Jade Tower' belonging to the Denisoa Kingdom, and served as the tower master for a short period of time.
"As early as more than a hundred years ago, he ignited his soul and advanced to gold. But at that time, he did not succeed as the master of the tower... It was more than a year later that he suddenly became the son of the tower.
And he succeeded to the position of tower master very quickly.
"After that, he served as the master of the Jade Tower for more than thirty years. Shortly after that, a new son of the tower was born - then Nicholas' status as the tower master would naturally be deprived of him.
"Some tower owners regard this identity as a burden, but some tower owners regard it as the basis for continuing life... The soul of gold is eternal and bright, just like gold, and will not be hurt by ordinary curses. But if the power of elements is used
, it will gradually burn and squeeze out its own soul - until it is close to death.
"Nicholas overused his elemental power, so not long after he lost his identity as the tower master...almost a hundred years ago, he died and was buried."
Salvatore's own face also became unsightly.
It was as if he was frightened by his own words.
He murmured: "At that time...many people attended his funeral. Because he was the discoverer and improver of the ancient Philosopher's Stone technology, he was called the 'Second Hermes' and the 'Modern Philosopher'.
He is one of the few "sages" in this era who can actually refine the finished product of the Philosopher's Stone.
"But after his death, Jade Tower searched his laboratory for his Philosopher's Stone, but could not find it. At that time, it was suspected that a traitor had escaped with the Philosopher's Stone, and they searched for several years.
Gradually forgotten.
"If you really saw a man with white hair and green eyes who called himself Nicholas Flamel... I think he might not have died at all at that time——
"He used the Philosopher's Stone that he refined to escape the fate of death!"
