The Little Superman of Hogwarts
#23 - 第23章 「 刺探情报(上)」
To be honest, Kerry was a little shocked to hear the name. Clearly, because his arrival had prevented a serious conflict between Malfoy and Harry Potter, Harry Potter shouldn't have known about the three-headed dog, and therefore wouldn't have been interested in Nicolas Flamel.
Then there is only one explanation—someone deliberately guided Harry Potter, allowing him to obtain this information! This person may be the most powerful white wizard Dumbledore, or it may be the great demon king Voldemort, or it may be some more mysterious force—such as if there really is a "god of plot". It could be the god of plot pushing Harry to get this information behind the scenes!
"Why did you ask about this name?" Kerry asked.
"I accidentally heard this name, so I'm quite interested in it! Do you know him?" Harry explained quickly.
Obviously, Harry was lying, but Kerry didn't plan to continue asking: "I do know this person, but the information about this person is very old."
"Nicolas Flamel—a 14th-century alchemist! Do you know what an alchemist is? It's someone who can master alchemy!"
"Alchemy? Is that the magic that can turn any metal into gold?" Ron's eyes turned red as soon as he heard the word alchemy.
"Yes! Nicolas Flamel, according to legend, received divine revelation and therefore possesses all kinds of incredible abilities. He is a legendary alchemist, and some of his alchemical works are still in normal use today!"
"However, compared to the greatest achievement of his life, those things seem insignificant!" Kerry paused to build suspense: "Can you guess what his greatest achievement was?"
"Alchemist?" Harry guessed: "Could it be that he really turned a piece of metal into gold?"
"Hermione? What do you think?" Ron was more self-aware, knowing that his IQ was not enough to answer this question, so he turned to Hermione for advice.
Hermione was obviously also very interested, her eyes sparkling with wisdom.
After a few dozen seconds, Hermione guessed: "As a great alchemist, he should naturally be able to create gold. If that weren't the case, how could he become a great existence?
But I think, since Kerry emphasized that these achievements far surpass his other achievements, then I guess this is definitely not his greatest achievement! I think we should deduce logically, what is more precious than gold?"
Harry's mind suddenly shook: "What is more valuable than money is of course love!"
Kerry covered his head with his hands. Are eleven-year-olds' brains so complicated now?
Hermione looked at Harry with an idiotic look, and Ron grinned, thankful that he didn't speak, otherwise he would definitely be the one being sprayed at this time.
Harry blushed and lowered his head, feeling embarrassed.
"What is more valuable than money is of course human life!" Hermione said: "Then we can logically guess that the greatest achievement of this alchemist is of course saving many people's lives! Am I right?"
"Although not quite right, the direction is correct!" Kerry explained: "The entry-level achievement of an alchemist is of course creating gold. If you can't even create gold, then how can you say you are an alchemist? Isn't that right?"
"And this Mr. Nicolas Flamel, a Frenchman, born in 1330, his greatest achievement is that he created an almost omnipotent Philosopher's Stone!"
"This Philosopher's Stone has many incredible effects, such as turning stone into gold! It can easily create real gold!
And most importantly, it can create a potion that, when drunk, can grant immortality!"
"Immortality?" Hermione, Harry, and Ron repeated this sentence at the same time.
As a person from the Muggle world, Harry was the first to find it unbelievable: "How is that possible? If he created the Philosopher's Stone, then why doesn't he drink the elixir of life himself? Obviously, he is already dead, so this must be fake!"
Kerry looked at Harry and said quietly, "Who told you Nicolas Flamel is dead?"
"He's not dead?" "He's still alive?" The three of them once again showed shocked expressions.
"Of course, Nicolas Flamel is six hundred and sixty-one years old this year. Yes! He is still alive, even living very well! Wealthy, wise, possessing great power!" Kerry said.
"Unbelievable!" The three of them were almost stunned.
"We are wizards of the magical world, we should be used to this kind of thing." Kerry joked, "This Philosopher's Stone not only has the effect of producing the elixir of life, it can even bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate, it is simply a Philosopher's Stone that makes dreams come true!"
"I really want to have it!" Ron's eyes were shaped like Galleons, a stone that can infinitely create gold, just thinking about it is exciting!
"No! You don't want to have it!" Kerry continued: "Everything has a corresponding 'price'!
In order to realize a wish, certain conditions must be met and a corresponding price must be paid—otherwise, Nicolas Flamel would have ruled the entire world by now, but in reality, he hasn't, so he must have paid a sufficient price for his immortality! This price is so huge that Nick has never used the Philosopher's Stone since!"
Kerry added at the end: "By the way, he not only created the elixir of life for himself, but he also made his wife immortal, so their family is still living quietly in some unknown corner of France."
"That is to say, he and his wife must be very much in love." Hermione said: "I really hope that one day I can also live forever with the person I love most."
Harry was still thinking about something, suddenly his pupils dilated and he asked Kerry: "You just said, if this is an almost omnipotent stone?"
"Yes! If this stone wasn't so magical, then Nicolas Flamel would have been forgotten long ago!" Kerry said.
"Then—I mean, is there a possibility—that this Philosopher's Stone can revive the dead?" Harry asked slowly, he was even a little flustered.
"Of course! The Philosopher's Stone's alias is—Resurrection Stone!" Kerry explained: "This stone has all kinds of incredible abilities, resurrection is just one insignificant function—
But, just like I explained just now, resurrection requires a price, completing any task requires paying a corresponding price—in fact, rather than saying it is a Philosopher's Stone, it is better to say it is a Devil's Stone! It is like a devil, constantly bewitching people to obtain the greatest power!"
After getting this information, Harry and Ron didn't ask any more questions, and the two quickly left the library.
Hermione looked at the leaving two with a puzzled and suspicious look.
