Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 519 Making Dumbledore twenty or thirty years younger? The thought is terrifying!
“Go ahead and check if you want,” Nicolas Flamel said with a smile.

Nicolas Lemaître had never even considered whether Li Weide could cure his body.

In the past, countless healers and potion masters have examined his body.

However, the decay of the body is a natural law, and no healing spell or potion can control it.

The fact that the couple has survived to this day thanks to the Philosopher's Stone is already an extraordinary feat.

With such advanced alchemy skills at such a young age, it's only a matter of time before he can create his own magic stone.

Even if he cannot create a second Philosopher's Stone, his own will eventually be passed on to him.

So, since Li Weide wants to see, let him see. It will also give him some mental preparation for what it will be like after using the magic stone.

After all, if Li Wade uses the Philosopher's Stone, he'll end up looking like this after several hundred years...

At this moment, Li Weide had already placed his hand on Nicolas Flamel's wrist.

Li Weide didn't understand pulse diagnosis or anything like that, but he could use magic to sense Nicolas Flamel's physical condition.

As Li Weide's magic slowly penetrated deeper.

"what?"

As the investigation deepened, Li Weide let out a soft exclamation.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a strange situation.

Upon investigation, he discovered that Nicolas Flamel's soul power was intense and passionate, almost indistinguishable from that of a young man.

However, the physical body severely lacks vitality...

Clearly, the elixir of immortality seems to be a magical potion specifically designed to nourish the soul.

As for the physical body... it can only draw a small amount of life force from the potion to barely maintain itself.

The result is that the soul can remain strong, but the life force that the body draws from itself is insufficient to stop normal aging.

However, because the power of the soul can appropriately nourish the physical body, this aging process has a bottom line. As long as there is enough elixir of immortality, once the physical body ages to a certain extent, it can be kept afloat by the elixir of immortality and the power of the soul, maintaining it at the lowest threshold for a long time.

This is why Nicolas Flamel and his wife died soon after they stopped taking the elixir of immortality.

Even if the soul is strong, once the body decays and dies, the soul has nowhere to rest, and the person can no longer live.

In fact, the fact that the elixir of immortality can keep the soul strong is already a remarkable magical potion.

"Teacher, is the magic potion that increases physical life force really useless?" Li Weide couldn't help but ask.

Nicolas Flamel shook his head and said, “It’s useless. The human body is like a wooden bucket, and life force is like the water in the bucket. As we age, our bodies deteriorate, like a short plank appearing in the bucket. With the passage of time, the short plank gets shorter day by day… and the amount of water it can hold decreases day by day. Now, my short plank has almost reached its limit. The elixir of immortality can only prevent the short plank from completely disappearing. But precisely because of this, no amount of life force is of any use to me anymore, because my body can only bear a limited amount of life force.”

After hearing the example given by Nicolas Flamel, Li Weide finally understood Nicolas Flamel's physical condition.

Vitality has become largely useless to him. Unless his "weakness" can be repaired—that is, his aging body can be rejuvenated…

Biologically, this is impossible; the decay of the human body is irreversible.

Even the vampires that appeared before only used human blood and essence to prolong this process.

“Actually… I still have an idea,” Li Weide said thoughtfully.

“Oh? Tell me about it?” Nicolas Flamel said with a smile.

However, he didn't hold out much hope.

He knew that his student was a person with his own opinions, but birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and even in the wizarding world, one can only delay this process.

“Since the barrel is rotten, let’s replace it…” Li Wade frowned. “Just like the way I resurrected Slytherin, I can use your bloodline to create a young body for you, and then transfer your soul there… However, Slytherin’s soul is special, unlike others. So, doing this might be dangerous… For example, the soul cannot be 100% compatible with the body… In the end, because the soul leaves the body, the last channel through which the soul nourishes the body will be severed, so even if you return to the original body, you won’t be able to…”

Li Weide's meaning was clear: if he succeeded, he could become young again, but if he failed, he might have to go to see the Grim Reaper that very day...

“Then let’s forget about it, Vader. It’s already quite remarkable that you came up with such a method. We’ll try it again when I’m ready to face death,” Nicolas Flamel said with a smile.

He wanted to see firsthand what heights Li Weide could ultimately reach, so he didn't want to take any risks.

Li Weide nodded. It's only human nature. Why take risks when you're doing well?
"Sigh, if only there were a way to restore the vitality of the physical body..." Li Weide said helplessly.

Just as this thought popped into his head, suddenly, the life force hidden deep within his soul stirred in response to his will...

Immediately afterwards, Li Weide and Nicolas Flamel were shocked to discover that the skin on Nicolas Flamel's wrist, which Li Weide was holding, was slowly swelling up... "Holy crap!" Upon seeing this, Li Weide immediately thought of that day, that flower that had come back to life!
Here and now, how similar Nicolas Flamel's physical condition was to that flower from that day!

Li Weide finally realized... The power of the Law of Life is the power of the law! Not ordinary life force!
In other words, this thing can really fix the weakest link in the "barrel"!

“What…what happened? This feeling…is amazing!” Nicolas Flamel exclaimed in shock.

In the few seconds it took him to speak, Nicolas Flamel was surprised to find that his withered skin was slowly beginning to regain some elasticity!
What followed was a feeling he hadn't experienced in a long time: he suddenly felt a sliver of strength return to his weak body...

Immediately afterwards, he felt a tingling, numb sensation throughout his entire body...

ten minutes later.

Nicolas Flamel slowly stood up, clenched his fist, and the feeling of full strength made him feel, for a moment, as if he had returned to his youth…

Looking at Nicolas Flamel, who appeared somewhat younger, Li Weide felt a surge of joy.

The power of laws is truly amazing! No wonder it's the power of a god!

but……

Li Weide glanced at his depleted spiritual aperture and felt somewhat depressed.

Unexpectedly, the life force required to revive an old man from a withered tree was so immense!

Even after completely exhausting the power of the laws, it could only help Nicolas Flamel recover such a small amount of vitality...

Fortunately, this kind of exertion can be recovered with a little rest.

"What kind of healing magic is this? It can actually make me younger! How... how is this possible?" Nicolas Flamel moved his body, and although his body was still very old, he could clearly feel that his body was more energetic than it had been ten minutes ago!

“I was a little surprised too, teacher… This was a little spell I tested with ancient magic before… I was just trying it out, I didn’t expect it to work.”

Li Weide was actually a bit confused, but he understood that the laws of life were hard to explain, so he could only attribute them to ancient magic.

In any case, both the power of laws and ancient magic are considered the power of gods, and the two are closely related, so saying this is not entirely a lie.

“So this is the effect of ancient magic! No wonder…” Nicolas Flamel readily accepted this explanation.

After all, those who possess ancient magic are extremely rare; even an old man like Nicolas Flamel knows very little about it.

"I'm sorry, teacher, this is all I can do to help you recover today. I've used up all my ancient magic power for now," Li Weide said, somewhat frustrated.

"Child, what are you saying!" Nicolas Flamel ran excitedly to him, grabbing his hand tightly. "Don't you realize that your teacher is almost six hundred years old this year! In other words, if you used this magic on other old people, the effect would definitely be much better than if you used it on me!"

Upon hearing this, Li Weide was immediately reminded.

Yes, Nicolas Flamel is almost six hundred years old. Being twenty or thirty years younger wouldn't make much difference to him, but for other wizards...

If Dumbledore were 20 or 30 years younger, and his magical skills and strength were still intact, wouldn't he be much stronger than the current Dumbledore?

The answer is yes...

“You have invented a truly remarkable magic, Vader…” Nicolas Flamel said excitedly.

“I…I need to explore further…” Li Weide said somewhat uncertainly.

The laws of life are so powerful... then...

Li Wade suddenly thought of Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, who are still alive today.

"Hiss... They've been able to live so long, could it be because of the laws of life... Could it be... related to me?"

It has to be said that this is a very bold idea.

However, the nature of the laws of life forced him to think in this direction.

“If that’s really the case…” Li Weide fell into deep thought.

After seeing that Livde was deep in thought, Nicolas Flamel quietly lowered his hand and did not disturb him any further.

As a legendary alchemist, he understood the importance of inspiration!
Clearly, Li Weide is currently in a state where he has suddenly grasped some inspiration and is working hard to think about it.

It would be such a shame to lose inspiration because of the slightest disturbance!
"If that's the case... can I really do it?" Li Weide suddenly raised his head and murmured softly.
