Chapter 142 141: The Mystery of Ian and the Dark Phoenix
In the underground room of several hundred square meters, the burning flames have been completely extinguished. There are traces of being scorched by the flames everywhere, even in the hall. The twelve stone pillars were not spared.
After all, Ian has lit the fire.
Almost all the metal decorations above have been burned away, and the black stone pillars can still have a broken appearance, which is already an extremely outstanding performance of Hogwarts' civil engineering.
Fortunately, when Ian was fighting Voldemort, he still had some spare energy to take care of the location of the Mirror of Erised, otherwise an ancient alchemical treasure would have to be burned like other things.
Ian couldn't explain it to Teacher Morgan, but he still remembered his promise to Teacher Morgan, which was why he was distracted from protecting the Mirror of Erised during the life-and-death battle.
It can only be said that Voldemort was fortunately weakened a lot by the [Forbidden Magic Potion], otherwise everyone would be wizards with similar magic levels. The probability of Ian defeating Voldemort is actually not high.
Even though his magic is blessed with extraordinary characteristics and he has control over magic that far exceeds that of other wizards, Voldemort's name as the Dark Lord is still more or less wrapped in real money.
“Like reading is a good habit, and it is indeed in line with the consistent choice of you Ravenclaw students.” Nick Flamel recalled for a long time but could not find the memory of "The Legend of Wukong".
He began to think that this might be some kind of best-selling book in the Muggle world, and judging from the name, it should be related to the East. It was reasonable that he had never read it in his life.
After all, even he himself doesn't know much about things on the Eastern Continent. He has been there in the past but has not been able to study the things there in depth.
No way, the wizards of the Eastern Continent are really exclusive.
"Yes, being able to continue to learn new knowledge is a happy thing for me." Ian answered quickly, and he was not lying.
The little wizard just still didn't tell the whole truth - in fact, he himself didn't know why he saw such a picture. The book he was reading in the Mirror of Erised was particularly conspicuous.
This is obviously because the Mirror of Erised has demonstrated its power, and it is not like Grindelwald's Boggart, which was interfered by some small means in Ian's mental field.
Just so eager.
Obviously there are some differences from the picture Ian always thought he would see... I still don’t understand myself? Ian glanced at the image in the Mirror of Erised several times in a row.
The black phoenix stood on his shoulder. The little wizard who was flipping through the books even looked up at him, and then pointed at the classic statement in "The Legend of Wukong".
“Why didn’t we capture Azkaban and establish a Gold Galleon production factory that does not require payment of rewards, provision of meals, or even accommodation?”
“Isn’t my dream to have my face printed on gold galleons?”
Ian still felt a little guilty in his heart.
And at this time.
"Ian has always been passionate about learning. If I remember correctly, it has only been one semester and he has already borrowed 254 books from the library."
< br>Albus Dumbledore did not doubt what Ian said, and even explained it to Nick Flamel on Ian's behalf, but his precise statistics were a bit exaggerated.
Obviously.
The old principal really paid extraordinary attention to Ian. Ian looked at Albus Dumbledore in astonishment. The little wizard even suspected that Albus Dumbledore might even pay attention to how many slices of bread he had eaten for breakfast - how to say, it was okay, as long as he didn't It’s so specific that you even know how many pounds he lost in one semester.
“Even those who were younger than me are eager for knowledge, extraordinary talent, hard work attitude, extraordinary wisdom... and this amazing luck.”
“They add to Together, it is obviously destined that your name will be louder and more prominent than any of us in the long history."
Nick Flamel sighed sincerely.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a few hundred million points better than my peers." Ian scratched his head seemingly embarrassed, but in fact, his mouth almost reached behind his ears.
He stared at the scrawny great alchemist in front of him, and he was somewhat curious, "Will you serve as our Alchemy Professor at Hogwarts in the future?"
About above Of course Ian also knew that the first professor Arthur King had run away. After leaving the loop, he had searched all over Hogwarts but could not find any trace of Arthur King.
"Yes, during the last period of my life, I will be your alchemy professor. This is all because your principal comes to beg me once a year." Nick Flamel said He was careless and did not reveal that he was here to have fun. After all, I'm going to be a professor at Hogwarts.
He still wants some dignity.
“Many long-established alchemists are eager to gain guidance from our new professor. I think the students in recent years will gain a lot from this.”
"Ian, you have to seize this opportunity."
Albus Dumbledore was obviously giving a hint.
A Gryffindor student might just smile and say something in agreement. But who knows that Ian is a student of Ravenclaw, and his brain works quickly. He immediately understood what Albus Dumbledore meant, and quickly looked at Nick Flamel with a rather uneasy expression.
"Professor, I am only a first-year student, not yet old enough to take alchemy, but I think I must be qualified to learn alchemy from you."
Ian The voice is very confident.
This made Nick Lemay somewhat interested.
Of course he could also hear what Albus Dumbledore meant, but he didn't know much about this young wizard who had obviously stolen the [Savior] mission.
Sometimes the magic power is strong and the magic is powerful, but it does not mean that one can learn alchemy thoroughly. The world is fair, and no matter how talented a person is, there are always areas where he has shortcomings.
“Your name is Ian Prince?”
Nick Flamel asked first.
The little wizard nodded.
He looked Ian up and down again, "I think you are also quite talented in potions. Well, it's not just inheritance. We can also see it from the potion you just threw at that person. This."
As a six-hundred-year-old powerful alchemist, Nick Flamel was even trying to prepare the elixir of immortality. Of course, he had realized that the potion that Ian threw at Voldemort was definitely not something that could be easily prepared. The principles and wild imagination contained in it were also The reason for his interest in Ian.
To become a good alchemist, imagination is definitely more important than anything else.
“Potion is just my after-school hobby, and alchemy is the love of my life.” Ian showed his shamelessness in talking to people and praising alchemy when he saw an alchemist.
This move made Nick Lemay quite happy.
"Do you like alchemy very much? Good boy."
No.
The names given to Ian have changed.
"Of course, Professor, I have been teaching myself alchemy since before I entered school." Ian said and planned to take out his work, but he rummaged through his wallet and only found [ Enhanced version of the bone-breaking ash box].
If you bring this thing out... maybe it will only lower the other party's favor?
Ian hesitated.
And at this time.
Nick Flamel, who was smiling, also spoke next.
"From what happened just now, I know your extraordinary talent in magic... No, maybe we should already use extraordinary achievements to praise your attainments in the field of magic."
"I believe that neither Albus nor anyone else I know has a starting point that can be called terrifying like yours. Perhaps your brilliance is enough to be compared with Merlin."
"However, Despite this, alchemy will be a brand new challenge for you. Although it is a kind of magic, it is definitely different from what you usually learn. Different. "
"Learning the contents of "Alchemy" is the threshold to enter this field. Before learning it, "Magic Syllable Table" and "A Simple Introduction to Ancient Magic Texts" will be included. Lay a good foundation for you.”
Nick Flamel is obviously very good at teaching students, covering how to enter the door of alchemy in one sentence. The two books mentioned by this 600-year-old man respectively correspond to the foundation of modern alchemy and ancient alchemy - the modern alchemical technique based on magic spells and the ancient alchemical technique based on ancient magic texts.
I have to say.
Nick Lemay's recommendation is indeed very suitable for novices.
Just.
"Uh..."
Ian was a little hesitant when he heard Nick Flamel's words.
He began to think about how to tell Nick Flamel tactfully and politely that he could now use alchemy to create a fully automatic alchemy guard that could beat up little wizards.
"Don't worry, learn slowly, I will stay at Hogwarts for several years." Nick Flamel obviously had some misunderstandings, and comforted Ian with a peaceful expression.
He really knew nothing about Ian's progress in alchemy.
"Professor..."
Ian saw that Nick Flamel was about to turn around to study the Mirror of Erised. He pondered for a moment and simply chose a more direct way to ask Nick Flamel. May shows her current level.
"I have actually started researching how to recreate the Room of Requirement..." Ian was afraid that Nick Flamel wouldn't know about the Room of Requirement, so he even took out a lot of dismantling notes he wrote while researching the Room of Requirement. Formula - He took out thousands of pieces of parchment written with dense runes from his purse.
Looking down at the papers on the ground, Nick Flamel was stunned.
“????”
He fell into silence for a long time.
Nick Flamel suddenly realized that he might have underestimated the child that Albus Dumbledore highly praised.
At this time.
"I told you, he was excellent." Albus Dumbledore, who was examining Voldemort's body, suddenly raised his head and looked at Nick Flamel with a smile and said.
“…”
Nick Flamey opened his mouth.
Is this more than excellent?
You started studying right from your mother’s womb!
Nick Flamel suddenly realized that he knew almost nothing about the child in front of him.
"What grade are you in?"
He asked in a complicated tone.
"First grade, Professor."
Ian tried his best to show off his well-behaved disguise.
"When did you come into contact with alchemy?"
The corners of Nick Flamel's eyes twitched for a few times. Obviously, he thought that Ian would be older, but he never thought that he was actually still in the pure novice stage.
“One week before school starts?”
Ian can’t remember the specific time.
“……”
Nick Flamel was silent again.
He had to look at the little wizard in front of him again. Some of his emotions could not be calmed down, but he also murmured in his heart. In the first year when he came into contact with magic and alchemy, he only learned the ancient runes. Wen! How come there are people at this age who have already begun to study the house left by Hufflepuff in Hogwarts!
You have become so good at magic!
Where do you find the time to study alchemy!
Nick Flamel's eyes finally rested on Ian's handsome face - he thought about it for a long time, but he didn't wonder what door God had closed for this little wizard.
God is fair as promised!
“Your little brother will definitely be very small when you grow up.” Suddenly, Nick Flamel said something unexpectedly. He admitted that he was jealous, but he still believed that in this world There is no hexagonal wizard.
"???"
Now it was Ian's turn to be confused.
He felt that Nick Flamel's "curse" was more vicious than Voldemort's previous curse.
"Don't worry, if you encounter such troubles, alchemy can also solve related problems." Nick Flamel knelt down and looked at Ian's manuscripts under Ian's staring gaze.
"How about it? Professor... I think I should have the qualification and honor to learn your alchemy, right?" Ian looked a little reserved.
Nick Flamel's mood became more complicated after he raised his head.
You’ve already studied Hufflepuff’s Golden House, and yet you’re still trying to quarrel with me about your study qualifications! If you are not qualified for this, how many qualified people can you find in the wizarding world?
"Of course it's no problem, this may... also be my honor." Nick Flamel looked deeply at Ian, his tone was unprecedentedly pleasant.
The old wizard also figured it out.
Just as countless wizards have longed for outstanding apprentices throughout the ages, he also hopes to have someone who can take a look at the scenery ahead for him along the road he has not yet completed.
This little wizard is so outrageous.
Isn’t it because God saw him as pitiful and gave him a successor before he died? Nick Flamel has taught many alchemists, but he has yet to find his true apprentice.
"Maybe it's him..."
Nick Flamel's heart suddenly became alive.
However.
He was also a little curious, "Can you tell me why you want to replicate the coming and going room? In my opinion, this is not an attractive attempt, right?"
Having such doubts, Nick Flamel also wants to take a look at Ian's pursuit of alchemy. He has always adhered to the concept of innovation and not just completed the masterpieces that others have completed.
“It’s because my last alchemy professor told me that if I want to learn alchemy from him, I need to thoroughly study the Room of Requirement first.”
Ian answered honestly.
All of a sudden. Nick Flamel was confused again.
What kind of alchemy professor would set such a threshold?
Isn’t this purely embarrassing!
"I think he must be just trying to politely decline your request. Yes, that's right, that's definitely the case... In fact, he himself may not necessarily have the skills and ability to recreate the coming and going house."
"It's just very Obviously, your former professor didn't realize at all that you took his refusal seriously..." Nick Flamel stared at the "innocent" little wizard in front of him with some emotion.
Under normal circumstances, he would not belittle other people, but when it came to issues of inheritance and apprenticeship, he still wanted to eliminate the possibility of apprentices being abducted by others.
Of course.
This possibility is definitely very low in Nick Flamel's opinion. After all, is there any alchemist in the world who can compare with him? Nick Flamel wanted to teach Ian more about the evil nature of the human heart.
Be an alchemist.
It’s not okay to be too naive.
You will be tricked into working in a black workshop.
Blood lesson!
“Huh? Is that so?”
Read the error-free version at 69 Book Bar! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.
Ian actually felt that Nick Flamel might have made a mistake, but he also knew that he should not refute the professor, so he could only blink with a somewhat stunned expression.
"Yes! It must be so! I have also inquired with others about your resigned professor, and he has never arrived a minute early or finished class a minute late."
“This is obviously just treating teaching as an ordinary job. Your request for help from him will only be regarded by him as increasing your own self-esteem. It’s just a problem due to my workload.”
“He is not like me. I will be in the office at any time. You can come to me for help even at night. After all, people of my age don’t need anything else. Sleep quality." Nick Flamel analyzed Arthur King's character for Ian on the spot, and also took the opportunity to praise Arthur King and praise himself.
A six hundred year old man.
The great alchemist known throughout the world.
Who would have thought that there is a hint of green tea on my body.
"Nick, the last alchemy professor was actually..."
Albus Dumbledore, who came back, was hesitant to speak, but seeing Nick Flamel's passionate tone Indignant, he still did not interrupt Nick Flamel's green tea behavior after all.
Albus Dumbledore also swallowed some of Arthur King's views and opinions - after all, they were just the shocking conjectures of him and Grindelwald.
"There is no truth! Me! The most powerful alchemist of this century, Albus, do you think I don't have the ability to teach your student well?"
Again Nick Flamel, who had some misunderstandings, glared at Albus Dumbledore.
"Of course I believe in your ability, there is no doubt about it." Albus Dumbledore nodded quickly to apologize. Nick Flamel was also an old man who needed to be taken care of emotionally.
After all.
The older you get, the more you look like a child.
This is reflected in many old wizards.
"You heard it, little guy, your principal knows my skills best. Come to me when you have your spare time, and I will open a small stove for you to teach you."
Nick Flamel just glanced at the parchments on the ground and already understood Ian's alchemy skills. He was already glad that he was a happy person and came to Hogwarts.
"Yeah! I will definitely come to find you!"
Ian was also very happy.
Although he can consult Teacher Morgan in alchemy, it is an opportunity that can only be unlocked every once in a while. It is of course a good thing to have the most powerful alchemist of this century who can consult him at all times.
"In fact, I not only have the magic stone, I also have other treasures. If your learning progress can satisfy me, I will definitely leave them all to you after I hang up my legs!" Nick. Flamel was also very happy. He looked at the broken magic stone and began to give Ian more motivation to study.
This is obviously different from the pie that Ian often draws for the dementors.
"That machine can't be given to him."
suddenly.
Albus Dumbledore reminded Nick Flamel with some concern.
“What machine?”
Ian looked at the old principal curiously.
“Some evidence of Nick’s past crimes.”
Albus Dumbledore was obviously unwilling to say more.
Nothing more.
Hearing his somewhat vague explanation, Nick Flamel suddenly became a little unhappy. He first glared at Albus Dumbledore and then explained to the young wizard.
"Actually, it's just a metal processing machine. Well, it can make some toys that will attract the attention of the Ministry of Magic." Nick Flamel wanted to restore his image.
It’s just that he couldn’t seem to find a better way to say it.
"Money printing press?"
Ian showed his talent and intelligence.
"Illegal money printing machine."
Albus Dumbledore sighed heavily and corrected Ian's wording.
"You can't tell the difference between the Ministry of Magic and those goblins. Besides, I've never used it before..." Nick Flamel's tone sounded a little unsure.
Ian even felt the other person's guilty conscience.
He thought of the five million galleons bet that Nick Flamel had just made.
Some things seem to be much clearer.
"Professor, you must be hungry after staying in the dark space of the wall for so long. Should we go to the kitchen to eat something? I know some of the food made by the house elves is delicious. "
"By the way, we can also discuss...I want to ask you some questions about alchemy." Ian immediately started to show his courtesy.
"There are still some messes."
Nick Flamel was not tempted by the delicious food. He pursed his lips at Voldemort's corpse. "If this corpse is not properly processed, the black stains on it will Magic tricks will definitely kill a lot of people, don't you? It is a magical creature, but this corpse is the result of biological alchemy.”
Nick Flamel’s ability is indeed full of gold and not much water. He has never had close contact or inspection, but he can take a bite. Concluded that Voldemort's body was derived from alchemy.
"The body he created for himself using alchemy?"
Ian was also a little curious.
but.
Just when he was about to step forward to check, Albus Dumbledore stopped him.
"It's more terrifying than that. I think you must be curious about why Voldemort can be resurrected and why he did this. I will answer it for you one by one in my office later."
Albus Dumbledore obviously wants Ian to leave now.
"I am actually more eager to know, will these magic words on my body keep flashing?" Ian looked down at his still naked upper body.
The golden magic text lights up and goes out like breathing.
"As far as I know, it will stabilize and you don't have to worry about yourself glowing all the time." Albus Dumbledore's soft response had a convincing flavor.
Ian felt relieved a lot.
"Okay, Professor, can I take this magic mirror away? Because I have protected our school again and sweated a lot for the safety of other little wizards?"
Ian actually wanted to say that he had bled for the school, but he really couldn't find a drop of blood on his body, and he didn't know if he could use his oral ulcers to claim credit.
"Ian, being overly obsessed with the illusory scenes brought about by the Mirror of Erised will not do you any good." Albus Dumbledore couldn't help but frowned upon hearing this.
"I just want to study it. As you know, I am an alchemist, so I will definitely want to study this ancient alchemical creation."
Ian looked sincere. of opening.
Albus Dumbledore was still hesitant.
Nick Flamel also stood up and spoke for Ian at this time, "Alchemists must have this kind of curiosity. I think it is not little Ian who is obsessed with this mirror."
He obviously meant something.
Albus Dumbledore looked a little confused.
"Okay, I can give it to you, but if I find that you have been affected by this, I will take it back." Albus Dumbledore sighed heavily. Still nodded and agreed to Ian's request.
This actually made Nick Flamel a little shocked. He looked at Ian first, then at his old friend, and his expression began to become thoughtful.
He has obviously realized something.
From the fact that Albus Dumbledore was willing to hand over the Mirror of Erised and began to study the behavioral logic of the time converter, he guessed some secrets.
"Thank you! Professor!"
Ian quickly stuffed the Mirror of Erised into his purse with great joy. He could hold most of Hogwarts' purse. There is still a lot of room that is not filled.
"I will wait for you in the principal's office!"
Ian bowed slightly.
He immediately put on his clothes and walked towards the door where the black flames had extinguished. The little wizard was looking forward to seeing Teacher Morgan's happy expression with great joy.
Nick Flamel, who was behind him, kept his eyes on the phoenix on his shoulder.
Wait until Ian's back disappears completely.
"I guess that phoenix is the reason why he can start the road to legend. If the legendary certificate were so easy to obtain, there wouldn't be so many wizards who have ended up with regrets over the years."
< br>Nick Flamel's tone was full of affirmation - just defeating a Dark Lord who was not even a legend himself would never allow a wizard to embark on the path to legend.
This is obviously inconsistent with common sense and goes against the world's understanding of the road to legend. Nick Flamel believes that Albus Dumbledore, who has always been blocked from the door of legend, will not know this.
"Although I am a little surprised about this, after all, it happened before our eyes." There was a glimmer in Albus Dumbledore's eyes.
“I thought you would tell me that he was born a legend, so he was born with proof of a legend...” Nick Flamel glanced at his old friend with deep meaning.
“Even I can’t let you reveal what’s in your heart. Tsk tsk. It seems that there is indeed a big secret between you. I think that must be related to why he was able to obtain the legendary certificate.”< br>
Nick Flamel did not continue to inquire further. Compared with the very strange legendary evidence that appeared in Ian, he was more concerned about the mysterious black phoenix summoned by Ian.
"I must have seen it somewhere! At least I have seen pictures of it!"
The old alchemist knocked on his head.
But no memory emerged.
He has lived for too many years and has too many memories buried deep in his mind. Seeing Nick Flamel's annoyed look, Albus Dumbledore also had a trace of doubt in his eyes.
Tell the truth.
He also felt that the thing Ian summoned didn't look like a purebred phoenix.
......
While the two old men were still making various guesses in the underground room, Ian had already loaded all the incomplete stone chess pieces in the hall outside the underground room. money bag.
"Soul Palace Anti-inflammation! Take me to the principal's office! It's up there! In this position!"
Ian grabbed Black Phoenix's neck and pulled Black Phoenix away from him He grabbed it from his shoulder. He was still a little unhappy that Voldemort's soul was intercepted by the Black Phoenix.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie~"
Black Phoenix called out twice more, and then used its ability to disappear into the dark hall with Ian. The next moment, Ian and It appeared together in the bright room.
“?”
Ian took a closer look.
I was suddenly confused.
I saw.
In a warm and bright room.
Another Albus Dumbledore is sitting behind the desk.
He was smiling.
It seems that I have been waiting for a long time.
