Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

Chapter 246 Principle

"The Philosopher's Stone and...the glory that is enough to be remembered by the world..."

At this moment, Charlie only felt that his brain was in a trance, and the expression on his face finally lost the confidence and calmness of the past, causing shock, confusion, puzzlement and many other emotions to emerge one by one on his handsome face.

He frowned slightly and murmured to Nico Flamel, repeating what he had just said. But the other party still nodded calmly, reaffirming the weight of these words.

As if he had anticipated Charlie's reaction at this moment, Nico Flamel was not in a hurry, and even gave him enough time to digest the news that was enough to make his brain shut down.

You know... that's the Philosopher's Stone. If you say what the Philosopher's Stone is, it is the most perfect alchemical item in the world. It has powerful power, endless wealth, and a long life. No matter what wizard you are, as long as you can

If you get it, the three most coveted wishes of all sentient beings in the world will be at your fingertips!

Didn't you see that even Voldemort, known as the second generation Dark Lord, was even willing to take desperate risks in order to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, leading his men to lurk under Dumbledore's nose for several months?

Dancing on the edge of a knife every day, one is not paying attention

The old and cunning principal showed the slightest flaw in front of him, and what greeted him was ashes... However, even so, Voldemort still had no hesitation and regarded it as the best answer to restore his strength. From this, it is enough to see that the so-called Philosopher's Stone

The attraction for wizards.

But now, Nico Flamel actually stood in front of Charlie Black and personally promised that as long as he did him a favor, the other party would hand over the Philosopher's Stone to him! With such a generous temptation, let alone Charlie's reaction, it would have been violent.

Anyone standing in his position would probably be even more miserable.

In the increasingly quiet air, Nico Flamel heard - the young man opposite, his breathing was no longer as calm as before, and began to become more intense, and also, more and more hot...

"How about it, are you willing to agree?"

He carefully observed every subtle change in Charlie Black. After taking them all in his eyes, Nico Flamel spoke leisurely and continued to ask.

"I…………"

Almost as soon as Nico Flamel's words fell, Charlie spoke. However, there was only "I" and the remaining word "willing" did not fall, and his words stopped abruptly on his lips.

Almost at the last moment, facing almost terrifying interests, Charlie Black regained consciousness.

The hot and pure desire in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and the many complex expressions on his face returned to calm in the blink of an eye.

"Huh..." Nico Flamel was surprised by such an obvious change. He was secretly surprised in his heart, and even his eyes, which were deeply sunken in their sockets, opened a little wider.

"I want to know what the request you are talking about specifically refers to."

Charlie's voice was capable and calm, as if he had ignored the so-called magic stone reward, and as if he was completely talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"I thought you would just agree first."

Nico Flamel smiled again, and seemed to be particularly happy. Even his eyes narrowed, like a line.

"Probably due to the caution in my heart. Since I founded the candy factory, I have been walking slowly on a single-plank bridge. There is an abyss beneath my feet. If I am not careful, I will lose my footing and fall.

The end of being broken into pieces.”

Charlie raised the corners of his mouth a little, looked at Nico Flamel in front of him, and said this

"Under such an environment, I understood a truth... There is no free candy in the world. Instead of being attracted by the success in the distance, it is better to step on every step on the single-plank bridge."

"..." Charlie's voice fell, and Nico Flamel lost the confidence he had when he just asked the other party.

After a long while, he let out a deep sigh, turned around, and while sighing, he grasped the ball-shaped door handle again.

"Albus Dumbledore really trained a good apprentice this time... He has missed others countless times, from Gellert Grindelwald to Tom Marvolo Riddle." He said.

, there was an obvious smile in Nico Flamel’s voice.

"It turns out that over the past few decades, his vision has improved a lot."

Having said that, Nico Flamel stopped talking nonsense, and clasped his forearms with his palms, exerting slight force. The next second, there was only a "click" sound from the door lock, and the door was ten centimeters thick.

, with a breeze blowing from behind Charlie, a long and narrow gap opened inward.

"Now, you've officially passed, little Charlie... First of all, I'm sorry for my rude tentative behavior before, because the matter is so important, whether it's the thing I'm going to entrust you with, or the Philosopher's Stone, I have to make sure that it's

They are entrusted to a trustworthy person.

Now I am sure that you are a kind person, at least a principled person. Putting the magic stone in your hand will not tarnish its power."

The air flowed as Nico Flamel pushed the door in. When the door was completely opened, the air flowed in and instantly caused countless drawings in the room to fly together.

Under Charlie's gaze, a study room that was several times larger than it looked from the outside appeared in front of him. Countless books started from the corners of the walls of the room, one next to the other.

It's so densely packed that it reaches the ceiling. At first glance, there are hundreds of thousands of people on each side!

Its collection of books is so large that even the Hogwarts Library is probably several blocks away.

But what really shocked Charlie was not these, but the long table in the center of the room, floating in the air. It was composed of an unknown number of alchemy runes and magic materials and was made up of a huge three- to four-meter-high table.

Alchemy item - at this moment, he was standing in front of Charlie and Nicolas Flamel. The moment he appeared, he occupied all of Charlie's sight, making him shocked by every detail of it, and could not tolerate any more.

other.

Obviously, Nico Flamel was very happy with Charlie's reaction. He smiled and raised his head, looking as if he was looking at his child.

"My life has been too long. In more than six hundred years, my wife and I have long looked down upon the so-called life and death. But before I left, I still had some thoughts."
