Chapter 300 Dumbledore's Letter of Introduction

Ted had a dream, and it wasn't a very good dream.

A wizard like Ted would never dream easily. He is now one of the few masters of psychic powers.

So, this is an omen, a bad omen!
But there is nothing you can do, just like you know winter is coming, except to make more preparations, you can't stop it from coming.

Ted thought, should he promote the Utopia game, add more entertainment items, and gain more experience points?
But in the next few days, Ted had a good thing happen to him.

Dumbledore sent him a letter, introducing an old friend to him.

With a letter of introduction and a badge, Ted arrived in Ivry, a suburb southeast of Paris, which is famous for its wine.

Dumbledore's old friend lives here.

Ted took Dumbledore's letter and read it again. "I remember that in the original book, Nicolas Flamel and his wife lived in seclusion in Devonshire? But Dumbledore shouldn't lie to me, right?"

That's right, the old friend that Dumbledore introduced to Ted was Nicolas Flamel.

Three years ago, when Ted and his friends entered school, Nicolas Flamel, whom Dumbledore had met when he was young and who helped him defeat Grindelwald's conspiracy, wrote to him saying that he didn't want to live anymore.

Immortality is a false proposition like the perpetual motion machine.

How long is eternity? How long is eternal life?
Although the old couple relied on the Philosopher's Stone to make the elixir of life, they lived for more than 600 years.

But human power is limited. Not only are their magic powers weakened, but even their vitality is like a candle in the wind. The five senses and emotional fluctuations of human beings are beginning to gradually fade away from the body. As time goes by, they feel more and more miserable.

The old couple discussed it and decided that it would be better to die well than to live a miserable life, so as to give themselves a decent death!

So Flamel wrote to Dumbledore.

The main issue is the inheritance of the Philosopher's Stone.

What LeMay meant was that you can take Old Deng's stone and live a few hundred more years. If you don't want to live anymore, just die.

But Lao Deng is very open-minded about this point...

Because of his arrogance and naivety in his youth, he lost his lover, his sister, his mother who became ill due to worry, and his father who avenged his sister.

The only thing he gained was his brother's hatred... Oh, his brother's son, his nephew, was also gone because of Grindelwald.

He even wanted to die.

However, he still had one thing left to do. He knew that his good student Tom would definitely be interested in this stone.

So he set up a trap.

First, the news was released that Flamel gave the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore and it was placed in the Gringotts Treasury.

After checking, he found that his good student had indeed returned and had set his eyes on the stone.

Then came what happened to Ted and his friends in their first year.

Now, the old couple, without the elixir of life, are reaching the end of their lives.

For some reasons, Dumbledore wrote a letter to his old friend, hoping that he could give some guidance to a young man in his last days.

Lao Deng may have also realized that although he has been working in education for most of his life, because of his experiences in his youth, he is not the kind of empathetic teacher who is good at treating others’ shoes.

Maybe he wanted to borrow the advice of his old friend, "A dying man speaks good words," and try his best to "transform" Ted.

Whatever he thought, Ted had to make this trip.

This is Nicolas Flamel, the world's last remaining legendary alchemist.

This is really the case. Once you miss this opportunity, you will never see this person again.

Ted bought a bouquet of flowers and a bottle of good red wine and found the address with the badge.

The addresses of wizards in Muggle society are usually hidden by magic and cannot be found easily, let alone the legendary alchemist Nicolas Flamel?

He lived for six hundred years and had many secret magics like the Fidelius Charm. The badge that Dumbledore gave to Ted was undoubtedly a token of his loyalty.

Sure enough, following the method that Old Dumbledore had mentioned in the letter, Ted summoned an archway made of roses in front of an open space by the river. After passing through it, he came to the gate of a small garden...

Before this, Ted had inspected the vacant lot more than a dozen times, using all sorts of methods, but found nothing, not even anything unusual.

It was amazing! Ted pressed the badge on the iron gate, and the gate opened automatically. There was a sound of birds singing and flowers blooming. Not far ahead was a small fountain and a pool. A girl sculpture was pouring a water bottle, and water was flowing out of it...

An old man and an old woman who looked very old walked out of the house supporting each other and greeted Ted with a smile.

"You are Ted Epifani, right? Dumbledore has already told me that he thinks of you incredibly highly," Nicolas Flamel said.

Dumbledore said in the letter: I don't want him to be the next Gellert.

Although the old man and the old woman were so old that they walked slowly, they looked in good spirits.

Since he stopped taking the elixir of life, although his health has been deteriorating, his spirit has become stronger.

"Good day, Mr. Flamel and Mrs. Flamel. Just call me Ted."

The old couple was surprised by Ted's fluent French.

The old couple had plenty of time, so they learned multiple languages, while Ted only learned a few languages ​​in his spare time because learning languages ​​was too easy.
"Dumbledore has said a lot about you. Welcome. I hope my last moments will not disappoint you..."

From then on, Ted stayed at Flamel's residence to learn alchemy from him.

Six hundred years of accumulation is absolutely incomparable to others.

Ted studied with a devout attitude, giving 120% of his energy every day.

Nicolas Flamel was also surprised by his learning efficiency and progress. At first, he was wondering why Dumbledore had such a high opinion of this student, but he was also a little worried. Now I understand!

If it weren't for Nicolas Flamel's physical condition, which only allowed him to teach for half an hour a day, Ted would have absorbed knowledge even more terribly.

But even with only half an hour a day, it only took four days for Ted's alchemy to rise another level, reaching Alchemy Level 5 (+1 level Philosopher's Stone).

It greatly shortened the process and time of Ted's own research and experiments.

This was a huge improvement that Ted had been working hard for half a school year to achieve.

This is the difference between having a good teacher or not!

Moreover, Flamel used his own method to help Ted complete the design of the magic power source, and praised his overall plan for being very creative, but the details were still very rough and there was still a lot of room for improvement... It seems that this is not a compliment? !
As for Magic Intelligence, this is not a problem at all.

Since ancient times, alchemists have always regarded challenging the realm of "God" as their ultimate goal.

Break through the upper limit of human lifespan, change the composition and texture of matter, and create life!
For the last step, some alchemists create a man in a bottle, and no one knows what it is, magic fungus or something else.

Some alchemists also make puppets!

Follow the Christian mythology and create a life in your own image!
Although we haven't had many ideas on how to turn inorganic matter into living things with flesh and blood, there is a lot of research on how to make dead things have thoughts.

Not to mention things that happened far away, you should still remember the old speed car of the Weasley family, right?

To a certain extent, that thing has its own spirituality.

This kind of spirituality is often born in the nature of the magical world, that is, various spirit creatures.

So, in this regard, the alchemists created anthropomorphic puppets, and they really look like them!

How similar?
I can't tell them apart in conversation, I can't tell them apart when I touch them, I can't tell them apart when I kiss them... Oh! No! I mean it's almost like it has simulated an independent personality!
And Ted doesn't need the kind of magical intelligence that is almost like a real person, or even able to ask speculative questions like "Where did I come from and where am I going? Where do I get French fries?"

He only needs simple and low-end magic intelligence.

Moreover, Flamel gave Ted a method to cultivate independent individuals, although this method had little control over the virtual souls created.

You don’t know what kind of personality you will create, but this method, which requires a long time and a lot of energy, is recognized to be effective!
Moreover, Flamel has created, invented and collected so much knowledge over the years, such as potion formulas, alchemical potions, alchemical reaction equations, magic prop production processes, etc.!
He even has information about the goblins' secrets that are not revealed to outsiders.

It seems like the secret manuals of martial arts from various schools are hidden in the Langhuan Jade Cave in Mantuo Villa.

And Ted was a genius who had mastered the Nine Yang Magical Art and had a photographic memory. He copied it with just one glance!
However, in just half a month, the LeMay couple had become visibly weaker.

She was even a little skin and bones. Ted had been taking care of her meals these days, and the old lady was really overwhelmed.

One evening, Ted suddenly became upset and couldn't calm down no matter what he did.

He had a vague guess in his mind that the time might have come.
