Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Nicolas Flamel?

Isn't this the legendary alchemy master?

Kevin looked up in surprise at Dumbledore, his questioning gaze seeming to ask why Nicolas Flamel would write to him.

Dumbledore shrugged and said, "You'll see when you open it."

Kevin didn't hesitate any longer and opened the letter.

However, something unexpected happened.

As soon as Kevin opened the envelope, the letter inside floated out automatically.

Along with it floated out, there was also a very small but dazzling ruby.

As soon as the ruby ​​appeared, Kevin's bracelet and Hermione's bracelet both started to glow faintly at the same time.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the scene. Kevin and Hermione exchanged a glance, wondering what had happened.

The next moment, the ruby ​​also lit up with a dazzling light, and the phantom of an old man with white hair, thin and bony, but who looked very energetic appeared before us.

The phantom flickered, seemingly startled by the scene before it, but then it suddenly realized what it had remembered.

"Oh, oh, hi, how are you, kids?"

"Oh, and Al, it's been a long time!"

The old man looked very kind and approachable. He took small, quick steps and twirled around in place to greet everyone. He even looked a little cute.

Upon seeing the phantom, Dumbledore straightened his posture and smiled slightly at it.

"It has indeed been a long time, Your Excellency Nicolas Flamel."

Dumbledore used a respectful title in public, which was also how he introduced the phantom to Kevin and the others.

Upon hearing this title, everyone looked at this legendary figure, who claimed to have lived for nearly seven centuries, with surprise.

"Are you Mr. Nicolas Flamel?"

Kevin was somewhat surprised when he first met him; it was quite different from what he had imagined.

He had imagined Nicolas Flamel to be a wise man, much like Dumbledore, someone who looked terrifyingly strong, but he turned out to be a kind old man.

"Hehe, yes, just call me Nico. If that doesn't feel right, Grandpa Nico is fine too."

Nicolas Flamel waved his hand with a smile.

"You must be Kevin."

He pointed to Kevin's still-glowing bracelet, beckoned him to hold it up so he could see it.

Kevin obediently extended his hand and nodded, "Yes, Grandpa Nico, I am Kevin."

Nicolas Flamel smiled as he looked at the bracelet, then glanced at Hermione beside him.

"Then this must be your partner."

He waved to Hermione and pointed to the bracelet on her wrist.

Hermione blushed at Nicolas Flamel's blunt words, but did not deny it.

She walked to Kevin's side and extended her bracelet-wearing hand as well.

Actually, before Nicolas Flamel appeared, their bracelets reacted with the rubies, and they guessed that their bracelets might also be related to this alchemy master.

Now, Nicolas Flamel offered no explanation, only looking at their bracelets, which further confirmed this.

That's why they immediately understood what Nicolas Flamel meant and showed him their bracelet-wearing hands.

"Grandpa Nico, did you come to see me just for this bracelet?"

Kevin had some guesses, so he went straight to the point and asked.

Perhaps the maker of this bracelet was Nicolas Flamel.

After all, he was a legendary alchemist who could even create something like a Philosopher's Stone.

It doesn't seem impossible to create a bracelet that resembles a pseudo-Horde weapon.

"Yes, that's right."

Nicolas Flamel nodded, looked at Kevin, then at Hermione, thought for a moment, and then patted the backs of their hands, indicating that they could put their hands down.

After doing this, he didn't explain anything, and then took small steps to walk away, not knowing what he was going to do. They could only see the phantom suddenly disappear, but the sound did not disappear.

Nicolas Flamel's self-talk occasionally drifted from the void.

Kevin looked at Dumbledore beside him, seemingly wanting Dumbledore to explain.

"Well, actually, I only found out about this because Gellert told me."

With Kevin watching him like that, Dumbledore had no choice but to confess.

"He found this bracelet many years ago and even traced its origins, which seem to be related to Nicole."

"He thought you might want to know the origin of this bracelet, so I went to find Nico. After hearing my description of the bracelet, Nico became interested and came to find you immediately."

"But the main reason is that I believe everything has its advantages and disadvantages. If this bracelet can protect a person so well, it must have come at a price."

Upon hearing this, Kevin understood Dumbledore's meaning. He was worried that the bracelet might have some side effects, and since it seemed to be related to Nicolas Flamel, he called the old man out to check it out.

To be honest, Kevin did want to learn more about the bracelet and see if he could extract his parents' consciousness and resurrect them in another form.

So I had some expectations for Nicolas Flamel.

"Found it, found it!"

"The Chain of Spirit Ruins"

"This was made by a very talented student of mine when I was young."

Nicolas Flamel's voice suddenly rang out, and then his phantom reappeared, carrying a book and walking over with small, quick steps.

"I only heard from that student later that the bracelet was stolen. I never expected it to appear here after hundreds of years."

The Chain of the Spirit Ruins?

This name doesn't sound very auspicious.

"Al, this resurrection comes at a price. How could you let Grindelwald act so recklessly?"

Nicolas Flamel patted Dumbledore with a hint of exasperation, though the phantom couldn't capture the real thing.

Hermione, hearing that the resurrection came at a price and seeing Nicolas Flamel's ominous attitude, immediately asked worriedly.

"Grandpa Nico, what's the price? Will Kevin be in danger?"

Nicolas Flamel gestured for Hermione to calm down.

"Don't worry, child, there's still a chance to salvage the situation."

"Let me explain the real purpose of this bracelet to you first, so that you may have been misled by the rumors."

"Including that guy Grindelwald, he just made plans without even asking me."

After hearing Nicolas Flamel's words, Hermione felt much relieved, but she was still very nervous.

They were afraid of missing any chance to make amends.

Nicolas Flamel calmly put down the book in his hand, opened it, and slowly spoke.

"You may have all heard about the two uses of bracelets."

"When a person wears two bracelets, it can nourish their soul."

"When two people wear the bracelet, their souls can be linked together, and they can protect each other as Horcruxes."

At this point, Nicolas Flamel suddenly asked a thought-provoking question that Kevin had never considered.

"But have you ever wondered why wearing it can nourish one's own soul? And what power does it rely on for this nourishment?"
