Harry Potter: Charlie and the Candy Factory

Chapter 247 Detonate this stagnant water

"As an alchemy object, the Philosopher's Stone is successful, but it is also a failure."

"Success is nothing more than its powerful power and the magic power that makes people immortal...and failure is because as the top existence of alchemy today, it can only serve a very small number of people."

Nico Flamel spoke quietly, but the meaning behind his words had already shocked Charlie into speechlessness.

"When I think that the knowledge in my mind is about to disappear with the passage of my life, I can't help but ask myself...that is whether I have truly contributed anything to this magical world that I love."

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, as if he was melancholy, and he seemed to be lamenting his dying life... After a moment of silence, he finally revealed his true intention.

"I heard that in the history of Muggles, there were one industrial revolution, two industrial revolutions and three industrial revolutions... I want to know if I can really cause one before I die, enough to promote the entire magical world.

A revolution moving forward.”

After saying that, Nico Flamel turned his head and looked at Charlie solemnly and solemnly, "This matter is undoubtedly arduous, but its appearance is absolutely critical to this deep pool that has been silent for hundreds of years.

It’s a stormy wave that can sweep everything away.”

"Now, Charlie, I want to ask you...if you are willing to help me and work with me to detonate this stagnant water."

…

"crazy!"

At this moment, Charlie could no longer think of any words to describe Nico Flamel's actions except this word. But he had to admit... If it was Nico Flamel, then please do this.

, I’m not sure it can really be done!!

After all, he is an alchemist who has successfully created the Philosopher's Stone... For more than six hundred years, the knowledge and technology accumulated since the 13th century have become a favorable support for the realization of all dreams!!

"Gudong..."

Charlie swallowed unconsciously.

He looked at the majestic old man in front of him, whose spirit was not as thin as his appearance. It seemed that he had been inspired by him at some point. When Charlie faced Nico Flamel's decisive gaze, his heart beat violently.

, when he was about to say yes——-Nico

The light in Flamel's eyes was suddenly converged back into the deep eyes, as if everything was just Charlie Black's illusion, whether it was the alchemy item placed here or the other party just now.

That talk...

"You don't need to agree so quickly..."

Nico Flamel smiled kindly, waved his hand gently, and the ground beneath his feet began to stretch and move like rubber, carrying them out of the room they had just entered a few minutes ago, and were sent back again.

Next to the blazing fireplace, next to the two sofas.

On the coffee table in the middle of the sofa, the spout of the big white porcelain teapot was still spitting hot air with the scent of chrysanthemums, and the firewood in the fireplace was still making crackling sounds under the burning flame... Everything was the same as they had just left.

Exactly the same.

"After all, I've lived for such a long time, so it's not long before I live."

Nico Flamel slumped back on the sofa. The teapot on the side poured him a cup of daisy tea, and the porcelain cup was also delivered to his hand.

He found a comfortable position on the sofa, raised his head, and gently closed his eyes.

"Tomorrow... If you decide to agree to my request, then I will give you one day to arrange your own affairs, from your factory to your friends and family... This is not destined to be

A short process, when you have arranged everything and come here again, No. 51, Montmorency Street - no matter what time, the door here will always be open for you."

When Charlie walked out of the two-story stone building, the sun had already sunk more than half of the horizon. Montmorency Street, which was originally extremely prosperous and filled with tourists, had become bustling with only a few people dressed in foreign clothes working at small stalls.

I was choosing something with great interest.

Until now, Charlie still feels that his head is a little confused, and he has even vaguely forgotten how he walked out of the room just now. He only remembers Nicolas Flamel's words, "Take this."

"The stagnant water detonated" and the huge three- to four-meter-tall alchemy object. Under the light of these two things, even the magic stone seemed dimmer for a while.

Slowly walking down the stone steps full of grooves of time, the ring on his hand shimmered, and he put the thick gray linen wizard robe back into the space, but replaced it with a comfortable and close-fitting down jacket.

Looking at the buildings with elongated shadows and the mixed red light filling the streets, Charlie's spirit finally became clear again with the cold wind whistling in his ears.

He shook his head and let out a faint breath. Seeing the turbid breath with the fragrance of daisies in his mouth rising into steam when it met the cold wind, Charlie grinned suddenly.

"It's really strange. It feels like being under the Imperius Curse...even though I've never been under the Imperius Curse before."

As he spoke, Charlie shook his head, slowed down his pace and walked towards the street entrance along the long street.

……………………

Just after Charlie left, by the window on the second floor of the stone building, looking at Charlie Black's back walking towards the distance, Nico Flamel smiled, slowly withdrew his gaze, and his thin figure walked briskly.

With a quick pace, he walked back to his sofa and sat down.

Picking up the white porcelain tea cup, I no longer tasted it as carefully as before. I took a big gulp of it and then let out a long and comfortable breath.

It just so happened that Perenal came up from the first floor at this moment. Seeing her husband's performance, he couldn't help but stop at the stairs. He opened his eyes in surprise and asked.

"What? Charlie just promised you?"

Nico Flamel gave the cup away, and he saw it suddenly inflated like a balloon, swaying in mid-air, and falling downwards. The coffee table also moved a few times in time, shifting its position so that it could

It can just fall on yourself.

"No!" He said cheerfully, "Charlie originally wanted to agree, but I blocked his words and asked him to think about it carefully and tell me tomorrow."

Perenal walked over and sat down on another sofa. He frowned slightly, as if with some doubts and confusion, and asked again.

"Didn't you tell me every day these days that you hoped the child would come early? But when he did come, you blocked him back instead."

"Hey! You don't understand, it's just playing hard to get...and he will definitely come over tomorrow."
