From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

"Give life?" Xiwen was stunned for a moment and asked. "But, I have seen many alchemy products, and they don't seem to be alive!"

"Giving life here doesn't just mean making matter gain life." Flamel shook his head with a smile and said to Xiwen. "Giving life means more about imitating the characteristics of magical creatures, so as to imitate the characteristics of magical creatures.

Give non-magical substances certain magical qualities."

"In fact, writings such as ancient runes and seal scripts were originally created based on the characteristics of magical creatures at that time."

Xiwen nodded and muttered: "It turns out to be bionic technology."

"Yes! This word is very appropriate." Flamel looked at Xiwen in surprise and confirmed this statement. "The connotation of giving life is to give it functions similar to living things."

"After alchemy develops to a certain stage, alchemists can combine and transform biological characteristics to create new functions that are independent of magical biological characteristics."

"So, most of today's alchemy products are achieved through improvement and combination!" Xiwen said with a sudden realization.

Flamel nodded approvingly and said to Xiwen: "Alchemy is also constantly developing, and some unique systems and shortcuts have been sorted out."

"Then can I learn alchemy from you?" Xiwen pursed his lips and asked.

"Of course, that's why you came here this time," Flamel said.

"But now it's time to go to the opera, do you want to accompany me?" He said to Xiwen with a smile.

…

A week goes by in a blink of an eye.

Xiwen has been studying alchemy with Flamel these days. He listened to Flamel's lectures in the morning, went to the opera with him and his wife Perenal Flamel in the afternoon, and independently studied alchemical products in the evening.

Both men, who are over 600 years old, are very wise, and Xiwen can benefit a lot from any random dialing. They live very regular lives and have very similar hobbies. They both go to the Opera Garnier in Paris to watch

opera.

As for Newt, he had left Flamel's safe house long ago and was said to have gone to the Seine River to search for an endangered magical animal.

Today is January 1, the first day of 1938, and romantic light snow is falling in Paris.

Sivan routinely accompanied the Flamel couple to the Opera Garnier to enjoy operas.

Today's performance is a romantic and nostalgic opera called "Der Rosenkavalier". The reviews are quite good, and the Flamel couple are also looking forward to it.

The front of the Opera Garnier is in the style of Baroque architecture. Its interior is luxuriously decorated, with its four walls and columns covered with Baroque sculptures, hanging lamps, and paintings. It is as luxurious as a jewelry box filled with gold and silver jewelry.

The three of them bought their tickets just like Muggles, walked up the spectacular grand staircase in the opera house, and then came to the classical corridor under the interlacing reflections of mirrors and glass.

However, just in this magnificent corridor, there are people passing by in a hurry.

It was now the time when the opera was about to begin, but the audience seemed to have thought of something urgent at the same time, and they hurried through the corridors and walked out of the opera house.

Not only the audience, Xiwen even saw many opera singers in costumes among the crowd, hurriedly walking outside the hospital.

"It seems to be a large-scale Muggle expulsion spell." Flamel frowned and said to Perenal and Sivan beside him.

"It seems something is not right. Let's go back first." Mrs. Flamel noticed something strange in the air and said softly.

Xiwen also became nervous, pulling the two old people to turn back and prepare to leave the opera house with the crowd.

However, the appearance of a transparent barrier behind him interrupted his thoughts.

"It seems it's too late." Xiwen said in a heavy tone.

As if to echo his words, as Xiwen's words fell, several footsteps came from the theater stage in front.

The leader was a middle-aged man with graying blond hair and a pair of blue eyes. He walked leisurely from the stage, but every step he took brought heavier pressure to Xiwen and others.

!

Behind the middle-aged man was a young woman with long brown hair and an elegant figure. More importantly, her face was somewhat similar to Xiwen!

"Grindelwald, what are you doing here?" Looking at the figure in front of him, Flamel's voice also became deeper.

Hearing what Flamel said, Xiwen suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the man with blond hair and blue eyes.

‘He is Grindelwald?!’ Sivan swallowed hard. He never expected that he would meet the most powerful and notorious Dark Lord in history in Paris.

You must know that Xiwen is just a first-year wizard, and now he has the feeling of seeing a cute little boy in a novice village encountering the final boss at the beginning...

Grindelwald walked leisurely in front of the three Xiwens. He did not answer Flamel's question directly. He just looked at the splendid decorations around him and smacked his lips with emotion: "Paris is really a nice place."

"I still can't believe that these magnificent buildings were created by inferior creatures like Muggles, let alone that they can create weapons that can threaten the wizarding world. What do you think, Mr. Nicolas Flamel?

?”

"No matter which group has its own unique wisdom, Mr. Grindelwald." Flamel repeated to Grindelwald what he had said to Sivan.

"You are right!" Grindelwald did not refute, but nodded in agreement. "So we should conquer all Muggles as soon as possible to prevent them from developing too rapidly and threatening the security of the magical world. You said yes

M. Flamel?"

"War is always the result of losing both sides. I don't think your idea is beneficial to the magic world." Flamel slowly shook his head and said firmly.

"Some things cannot be taken for granted." Grindelwald played with his wand boredly and said with disdain. "So I would like to invite you to come to Nurmengard as a guest and see with your own eyes the future development.

!”

"I'm glad that you think so highly of me that you came to invite me as a guest in person." Flamel's tone calmed down and he said softly.

"I'm afraid no one will ignore you, Mr. Flamel." Grindelwald raised the corner of his mouth and said to Flamel.

Flamel nodded, looked directly at Grindelwald and said: "In that case, I can go to Nurmengard with you. But I need you to promise to put my wife and this young gentleman back."

"Can't!"

"Nick!"

Madame Flamel and Sivan shouted at the same time.
