The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Chapter 573 'Pathetic' Nico Flamel



Chapter 573 'Pathetic' Nico Flamel

Old Kelie laughed when he heard this, with an expression that was indeed true.

The older people tend to be, the more stubborn they are. Their ideas have long been fixed in the long journey of life.

Anything that is inconsistent with their fixed ideas is difficult for them to accept.

This is actually a protective measure for the human body.

Because new things usually have an impact on their fixed ideas and may even destroy their outlook on life.

The results are devastating.

It can drive a person crazy, and then cause their body to gradually decay through mental collapse.

This is obviously the case with Old Kled.

He may be open to new things in small ways.

For example, he is very receptive to the Nightingale list in Knockturn Alley that changes every month.

But when it comes to matters of principle, it's completely different.

He has seen too many gangsters eating gangsters in his life, and the greed of human nature has already infected his entire soul. This is also the magic weapon he relies on to survive in the dark world.

Therefore, although Dumbledore's words only slightly touched his core concept, he was met with a crazy counterattack.

On the other side, Dumbledore paid no attention to the reactions of Old Kled, Link and others.

He continued to say in a confused voice, as if he was talking in his sleep:

"Now in your opinion, Nico Flamel has everything that anyone could dream of, money, prestige, status, power...

But he is not happy.

Countless misunderstandings...

Countless disappointments...

All his plans fell apart and failed...

Faced with the possibility of everything disappearing, he was both fascinated and heartbroken..."

As Dumbledore finished speaking, the entire main hall fell silent.

Link and the other three remained silent.

Even though Old Kled and Emily couldn't understand the specific things at all, the deep and profound sadness in Dumbledore's words still infected them.

"Ugh--"

Link let out a long sigh and explained, "Nicholas Flamel once thought of using the magic stone and alchemy to transform this world into a utopia, a world without war, hunger, and class, where wizards and Muggles would merge. One body, no distinction between each other, peaceful coexistence.

But his plan failed.

People are just greedy for the powerful power of the magic stone and alchemy. Everyone who knows the effect of the magic stone harbors the deepest and filthiest malice!

They even felt that Nico Flamel was just a conspirator with ulterior motives.

As a result, the disappointed Nico Flamel faked his own death for the first time.

After escaping, Nico Flamel gave up his ideals and began to focus on his family.

He and his wife expected a family of children.

This is a good way to relieve loneliness.

There may be various hardships and worries in the process of raising your own offspring, but overall, it is still a joy.

And strictly speaking, this matter is not too difficult for them.

After all, they have nearly infinite lives.

But his plan failed.

While the Philosopher's Stone gave them a long life, it also deprived them of their fertility.

What makes them even more sad is that the outside world's misunderstanding of them has reached an extreme level.

Even their friends who are still in contact think that Nico Lemay and his wife are the stingiest people in the world.

They did not believe Nicolas Flamel's explanation that he and his wife were sterile.

Instead, they stubbornly believed that Nico Flamel and his wife were so stingy that they did not want to share their wealth with their offspring, so they did not have children.

Faced with this misunderstanding, Nico Flamel took his wife into seclusion again.

This time he has given up on the idea of ​​reproducing offspring.

He only wanted to spend time with his wife, so he became obsessed with Muggle dramas like his wife.

He planned to spend a long life with his wife like this.

Nico Flamel's idea was simple.

There are so many interesting things in this world, there will always be enough for them to relieve their loneliness.

However, his plan failed again!

The spirit of Nico Flamel's wife was not as strong as that of Nico Flamel himself.

Faced with countless misunderstandings and disappointments, she went crazy.

She began to attack Nicol Flamel, complaining about why he wanted to impose the curse of eternal life on her body and why he did not let her die in the autumn of 1417.

Looking at his crazy wife, you should all be clear about Nico Flamel’s choice this time.

He handed the Philosopher's Stone to Dumbledore, a person he trusted, for safekeeping, and then he and his wife calmly rushed to death.

The saddest part is that their deaths are still shrouded in misunderstanding and suspicion.

Countless people believe that Nico Flamel is not actually dead.

This was just another way he faked his own death to get away.

The reason is to hide in the dark, observe the world, and develop his own terrible alchemy in order to complete his unknown and terrible conspiracy!

Nico Flamel should be glad he's dead.

Otherwise, just hearing these stupid conjectures should make him as mad as his wife! "

After Link finished speaking, Emily was already lying in Link's arms, crying into tears amidst Link's soft comfort.

Nico Flamel's experiences with his wife reminded her of herself and Link.

What a horrific scene it would be if so much misfortune befell them?

Emily can't even imagine it!

But there's one thing she's sure of.

That is, if it comes to the last step, she will never let Nico Flamel die with her like Nico Flamel's wife did.

She will choose to let Link live well by himself!

This may be cruel to Link, but it is her deepest obsession.

Old Kelie's expression was also a little sad, and even his eye circles were red.

This is human instinct.

Unfortunately, this instinct was quickly erased by Old Krei.

Because his mind has turned around.

Although Link and Dumbledore tell Nico Flamel's life as a tragedy.

But this still doesn't change that Nico Flamel is a happy person.

He has everything that ordinary people dream of, and he even has the freedom to choose!

Compared with those who struggle every day to have enough food and clothing, and those children who are harvested and cut in Muggle society, this is already a kind of luxurious happiness!

Is Nico Flamel pitiful?

Of course it's pitiful!

But do the general public really have the right to pity him?

Do not make jokes!

Are you richer than Nico Flamel?

Are you more talented than Nico Flamel?

Are you more famous than Nico Flamel?

Have you ever enjoyed the luxuries that Nico Flamel enjoyed?

You see, you have nothing.

Then how can you have the right to pity Nico Flamel?

In the words of the Muggle philosopher Nietzsche:

Enjoy solitude?

GuAre you worthy?

Only geniuses and lunatics can enjoy loneliness!

As for you, you are just lonely!

After thinking about all this, Old Kelie quickly adjusted his emotions.

He returned to his usual state of calmness and even a sneer on his lips.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, had a gloomy look on his face.

He stared at Link.

He waited until Emily had calmed down and left Link's arms before he said slowly:

"Nicolas Flamel's secrecy was so perfect that, except for a handful of people who were close to him, few people knew about his retreat and his tragic life.

Link, it seems you have done a lot of work. "

Listening to Dumbledore's slightly sinister question, Link looked at Dumbledore without any sign of weakness and said:

"Of course, I have been sending people to investigate the deeds of Nico Flamel a long time ago. This is very necessary work."

"Oh?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes, "Why do you say that?"

Link said expressionlessly:

"Because there are clues that the rise of the Shadow Man in France has a lot to do with Nico Flamel!"

"This is impossible! Nico Flamel, my old friend will never get involved in such a thing!"

Dumbledore suddenly increased the volume, and an invisible aura instantly enveloped the entire main hall. Old Kled and Emily both turned pale. Even they could sense that Dumbledore was really angry.

The next moment, Link suddenly took a step forward.

An equally huge momentum also rose from his body, forming a rivalry with Dumbledore.

Emily and Old Kled felt their bodies loosen up, and then looked at Link and Dumbledore in horror.

The strength of these two people has exceeded their understanding.

"Don't be so excited, Dumbledore." Link said with a smile, "I didn't say that it was Nico Flamel who took the initiative to cooperate with those shadow people. I mean, those shadow people are very likely to It's a misappropriation of Nicolas Flamel's legacy. Although at certain critical moments, money is not as useful as power and pure strength, but it also depends on the quantity, right?

The number has reached the level of Nico Flamel's legacy, and it is also a quite terrifying force. "

Dumbledore first breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then frowned even more tightly.

He was silent for a long time, and then he said:

“If that’s the case, the investigation into the Shadow Man’s affairs must be expedited.

Link, this trip to France was also proposed by you, and I believe you already have a detailed plan in mind.

So, what are you going to do next? "

As soon as Dumbledore said this, Old Kled and Emily also turned to look at Link.

Although they knew that Link brought them to France this time to investigate the dangerous organization hiding behind Voldemort.

But that's all they knew.

They were equally confused and curious about Link's specific plan.

Facing the probing gaze of everyone, Link smiled and shook his head:

"There is no need to be in such a hurry. You will know when the time comes. As for today, let's take a rest first."

Hearing this, Emily smiled slightly.

She has full confidence in Link.

She believed that Link would be able to solve all problems.

This is proven by countless experiences in the past.

At the same time, she was also very happy that Link could think of accompanying her while doing important things.

Dumbledore's expression was a little stiff.

When Link saw this, the smile on his face became a little brighter.

He knew very well that the person who was anxious now was no longer him, but Dumbledore, who had learned that his old friend's inheritance had been misappropriated.

This is a very good state.

This can fully prevent Dumbledore from taking advantage of the situation during the subsequent journey, or deliberately letting them step into a trap, only to help them out at the last moment.

Dumbledore could definitely do this.

Because in the eyes of old people like them, this kind of behavior is a lesson that young people must experience.

It is a good medicine that can make young people grow up.

Although the medicine was so painful that the elderly people were unwilling to take it.

Link had a feeling that Dumbledore was already unhappy with him.

Therefore, Dumbledore would never let go of a similar opportunity.

What happened next was just as Link expected.

Dumbledore urged Link a few more times to start taking action.

He even showed an extremely rare attitude of relying on his old age and saying things like young people should not dare to be so obsessed with enjoyment and should work harder and cherish time and opportunities.

Unfortunately, this didn't have any impact on Link and Emily.

They both took Dumbledore's words as nonsense.

In the end, Dumbledore had no choice but to leave alone with a dark face.

Link and Emily spent the entire afternoon visiting this incredibly gorgeous and luxurious manor.

The spectacular sea of ​​​​fiery red maples and the tide of iris that are always in bloom in the garden made Emily and Link unforgettable.

This is a rare opportunity for Link and Emily.

An opportunity for their relationship to quickly heat up.

Old Kelie, who was well-informed and knowledgeable in this process, would naturally not follow him.

But he was not idle either.

Taking advantage of Link and Emily's time together, Old Kled conducted an in-depth investigation into the overall mechanism of this manor.

The scope of its investigation not only included the manor's curse defense system, robot automated maintenance system, and overall ventilation and insulation system, but even the decoration system was also considered.

Moreover, he also said that the structure of these systems inspired him so much that he planned to implement it in Forlì Castle when he returns.

It's a pity that Old Kled's decoration plan was rejected by Link as soon as he opened it.

Although both Emily and Old Kret loved the magnificent and spectacular decoration of this manor, there was a high probability that Mrs. Foley would also fall in love with this decoration style.

But Link really doesn't like it.

In his opinion, although this manor is exquisite and luxurious, it gives him a strong sense of déjà vu as a European-style decorated bathing city in his previous life.

Especially after Link discovered an oil painting on a certain wall of a European woman holding a clay pot, this sense of déjà vu became even stronger.

However, Old Kled also provided Link with a very interesting piece of information.

That is, this manor was built during the period of Louis XIV.

In other words, this manor and the Palace of Versailles are products of the same era.

This can also explain why the manor is decorated in this style.

Link just smiled in understanding.

But Emily is different.

The obsession with Versailles in France has been deeply imprinted in the DNA of the Chinese and even the Americans.

While they despised the French, they took the spirit of the daily milk method to the extreme.

On the one hand, I admire French culture, which is extremely contradictory.

Just like Emily.

She went completely crazy after hearing the news.

He started running wildly in the manor, touching the handle of the stairs in wonder, and looking at the murals on the wall with admiration.

Looking at this scene, Link could only helplessly shake his head.

He knew very well how crazy women were in their pursuit of romance and beauty.

Even he was powerless once these two women, Mrs. Foley and Emily, went crazy.

From now on, some rooms in Forlì Castle will inevitably become Versailles-like.
