Admiral of Hogwarts

237 Nicoléme’s Thoughts

"Why don't you transfer your soul to those alchemy bodies?" After a day of answering questions, Hugo asked in confusion as he looked at the alchemist master who was obviously getting older every day than the day before.

"If I'm not wrong, you can do this with your alchemy skills, so why are you still like this--"

"You want to ask me why I am like now, letting my body decay and die step by step. Right?" After hearing Hugo's question, Nicoléme directly answered the question that Hugo wanted to ask. Speak up.

Hugo nodded, and then sat there quietly waiting for the alchemist master's answer.

Because survival is the instinct of living things, he really couldn't understand why Nicoléme clearly had the technology to continue living, but gave up such a choice.

"You guessed it right. If I wanted to, I had at least five methods that would allow me to live for at least another 600 years. But with my in-depth study of alchemy in the past century, I finally chose to give up this A road.”

After saying this, Nicoléme looked at the astonished Hugo with a unique smile like that of a child after a successful prank, and then continued.

"Listen, kid, I've never said what's going to happen next to anyone, not family or friends, so I'm asking you to keep the content of these words confidential."

"Don't worry, no one will know the content of the next conversation except me and my ship girls." After listening to Nicoléme's instructions, Hugo made a serious promise.

"Of course, of course you can tell your fellow ship girls." After hearing Hugo's words, Nicoléme smiled and shook his head. Then he talked about what he had discovered.

"I think you should know that whether it's magic, alchemy or the like, they are just different methods we use in the process of mastering magic. When we truly master magic, our wishes will come true like gods."

"After I created the Philosopher's Stone at the age of 52, I thought for a long time that I had mastered magic. But as I studied more deeply, I realized that creating the Philosopher's Stone was only the first step. Just one step.”

"The first step?" Hugo's eyes widened and he showed a surprised expression, because in his eyes, the philosopher's stone, or the magic stone, an item that can transform matter and reverse life and death, is already very powerful.

"Yes, it's the first step." Nicoléme laughed. To him, Hugo seemed a little too mature during this period. He works to enrich himself every day like a machine, rarely showing such an age-appropriate expression of astonishment.

"Maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, the Philosopher's Stone does have special powers, even beyond the limits of magic. But if you study these things more deeply, you will find that this is just the foundation on the road to mastering magic. Base."

"So since I made the Philosopher's Stone, I have devoted most of my energy to further mastering magic. Fortunately, after more than five hundred years, I finally figured out what is going on inside. .”

"After 500 years of countless attempts, I realized that it was impossible for wizards to truly master magic, because to do this, it was impossible to do it with just the human body."

"So, that guy without a nose -" After hearing what Nicoléme said, Hugo immediately thought of Voldemort. Because Voldemort was very abnormal about his changes.

"Don't worry, I have sufficient magic defense here. You can call Voldemort by his name." After hearing Hugo's question, Nicolas Flamel showed a clear expression.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I must say that Voldemort is indeed a genius. He may have gone further on this path than most people."

"I think this may be because he and you have not received traditional wizard education, so you don't have the restrictions in your minds that restrict us." At this point, Nicoléme shook his head.

"Fortunately, you are different from him. You have lived in a loving environment since childhood. So you are not as extreme as he was when he was young, and your views on various things are naturally different from his."

"Of course, Voldemort's transformation of himself also went on the wrong path. Because he was too focused on the power of casting spells, but neglected to pursue the power itself."

"So you chose another path, right?" Hugo frowned. "But if that's the case, it's hard for me to understand why you would choose to die?"

"Hahaha, I did choose to face death, but this kind of death is completely different from the death of ordinary people." Nicoléme replied to Hugo with a smile. "For me, death is just the beginning of a new adventure."

"As I said just now, it is impossible to truly master the power of magic with the human body. So I chose to constantly polish my soul, and finally master the deepest power of magic in the form of my soul."

"For wizards, there is another world after our death. Compared with our current world, that world can make it easier for people to come into contact with the reality of magic.

"The fact that Voldemort wanted to steal the Sorcerer's Stone before was just an inducement. Even if this had not happened, I might have chosen to destroy the Sorcerer's Stone in two or three years and wait to go to the world after death." "

"So that's it!" Hugo nodded, and then asked another question that he had never thought about before. "Then why do you think I have mastered such a path to truly mastering magic?"

Hugo is well aware of the power he has. After all, the ancient god Admiral is not just a simple adjective. Rather, it represents some powerful force close to the rules. But he was curious how Nicolas Flamel could see this.

"A feeling, a wonderful feeling for fellow travelers." Nicoléme smiled. "Although it sounds a little strange for me to say this, even perfunctory, but you know, my current state has a special perception of such things."

"For other people, it is difficult for them to see these characteristics in you and the things about your companions that are completely different from ordinary people. But I have been on the path of pursuing the essence of magic for 500 years, so as long as I have a little clue, I will Get my attention."

"Understood." Hugo nodded, because he had been able to feel a different feeling in Nico Flamel since he met him, and now that he said this, he also realized it. The source of this feeling.

If he guessed correctly, this should be a special feeling when similar people meet. Just like what the ship girls said to Hugo before, since he first received the avatar enhancement, he actually began to gradually transform into an ancient god.

The ancient deity is not only reflected in his own power, but also reflected in all aspects of him. For example, Nicoléme could easily find traces of another path in his alchemy.

"And this is the important reason why I invited you to stay with me for a month." Nicoléme looked at Hugo and said seriously.

"This is not just because of your companions. Most importantly, I hope to be able to provide some help to a later explorer who has not gone astray."
