Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

After the three of Harry left, Zhang Xu finished the report on the situation of the exchange visit. A report with the communication with the students as the main content will be handed over to Dumbledore, and a report will be attached with the report by Beauxbaton. The report on the transactions between the magic school and the French magic community was sent back to China.Of course, I won't mention the matter of teasing girls.

Zhang Xu used magic to make a few paper cranes to deliver letters, and they flew to the principal's office with the report handed over to Dumbledore.Then I went to the owl house before lunch to send away the letter to Furong and the domestic report.

During lunch, Zhang Xu kept thinking about some problems, so he was a little silent at the table, except that after briefly talking with Zhang Qiu about his experience in France, he ate something hastily and then went back to the dormitory.

Zhang Qiu originally wanted to ask Zhang Xu about Furong, but seeing his preoccupied look, he didn't bother him too much.

Zhang Xu usually chooses the reading room when he is doing homework, and he will go back to the dormitory when he is writing some private things or thinking about some important issues.

Zhang Xu is thinking about a question now, that is whether to attack the Philosopher's Stone.

On the second day of Christmas, after lunch, Fu Rong had to go back to the dormitory to write a reply to her sister. Before lunch, she received a letter from home from an owl.

Zhang Xu came to the garden by himself after lunch, found a stone bench to sit on, and planned to bask in the sun in the winter afternoon.

At this time, a messenger owl found Zhang Xu and sent Zhang Xu a letter from Mr. Zhao forwarded by the embassy in France.

The content of the letter is that the Red Bear Empire collapsed yesterday just like in "history".

Mr. Zhao made arrangements for this matter many years ago, and the country formulated and implemented a series of plans early on. After Mr. Zhao and Zhang Xu met for the first time, Zhang Xu also made some supplements to some plans.

Now, the red bear is still down.At this moment, on the land in the north, a large number of professionals are waving a lot of dollars and vodka to attack experts, equipment, and materials.

Zhang Xu, who was thinking, suddenly felt a soft body leaning against his side, and a blond head resting on his shoulder.

Zhang Xu rubbed his head on his shoulder with his cheek, and stretched out his arms to wrap around Fu Rong's waist.

Intrigue and so on are all his own business, and have nothing to do with the little girlfriend around him.

Zhang Xu, who quickly changed his mood, began to talk to Fu Rong about how his uncle took him to fly in the sky when he was a child.

The two chatted for a while, and another owl flew to Zhang Xu's side.

This time, the owl sent an invitation letter inviting Zhang Xu to have afternoon tea. The inviter came from Nicolas Flamel.

According to the requirements of the invitation letter, Zhang Xu came to a tea room in Beauxbaton Castle by himself on time. There was a hale and hearty old man sitting in the tea room.

After exchanging pleasantries between the two, Nicole May first brought up the topic: "Albus mentioned you in a letter to me, and he said that you are a very outstanding wizard."

"Professor Dumbledore's praise, in front of you and him, no wizard dares to claim to be outstanding." Zhang Xu said.

"You don't have to be so humble, at least Albus and I couldn't build such a beautiful ice and snow castle at your age." Nicolas said with a smile.

Zhang Xu knew about his own affairs, and he also believed that the well-informed Nicole May could also see it, so he could only truthfully say: "That's because I tried my best and almost exhausted my magic power to achieve such results. Until now, my magic power has only recovered a small half."

Nicole May did not go further into this topic, and simply changed the topic, "What do you think about eternal life?"

Zhang Xu, who had long expected Nicolas May to ask such a question, replied: "Since the birth of human beings, they have been pursuing power beyond themselves. Because human beings' physical strength is not strong, human beings invented the use of tools to enhance their strength. Their own power. Through the pursuit of stronger power, Muggles started from the Stone Age, experienced the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, and then to the three industrial revolutions. Human power reached an unprecedented level with the help of tools. Wizards The world is the same. After thousands of years of development, wizards have invented and created all kinds of magic. Wizards have also obtained unprecedented power through magic tools. Lifespan can be said to be a kind of power. The pursuit of eternal life is also the pursuit of power by human beings. part of it."

Nicole May was silent for a while after listening, and said: "It's a novel angle, but I have to say that what you said is very reasonable. Then what kind of person do you think can have eternal life?"

"Lack of mind." Zhang Xu replied.

"" Faced with such an answer, Nicole May couldn't help but be a little bit unacceptable.

Knowing that Nicolas May could not accept such an answer for a while, Zhang Xu explained to the other party, "Being short-sighted is an essential quality of an immortal, because you have endless time to experience endless things. If your own mentality will always be If you are sometimes nervous, sometimes sad, and sometimes depressed because of external objects, it will not take long for you to go crazy. Therefore, you must learn to make your heart more stable than anything else. In the end, you can face the end of the world with a smile on your face. Smile, and save the world with a smile on your face and you're done. Emotional abundance, especially negative ones, is a mortal's virtue, but it's a deadly disease for an immortal. They are not qualified to live forever."

This is what Zhang Xu saw in a novel in his previous life. It is the true god who manifests his holiness, shines brightly, and loves the world. He saves all living beings with great merit, immeasurable great wisdom, godmother Hongwu, heroic and powerful. God is most holy, pure, heavenly, mighty, unpredictable, brave, great general of the three armies, Hongfu empowers the divine heart, holy body, bright and clean forever, loves the world, loves the common people, loves the world, eminent, powerful, famous, and empty

The words of Bingtis, the patriarch of the Bingtis tribe, who is the supreme god of true virtue, said to the holy father, Mrs. Chen.

When Zhang Xu was thinking about this question, he suddenly remembered this passage.

Nicole May still looks at things from the perspective of ordinary people. In his opinion, being over 600 years old is almost eternal life.But he didn't know that in the Muggle world, where thinking is more active than the wizarding world, and in the online literature world, where thinking is the most active in the Muggle world, there are countless versions of answers to his questions, and the levels of these answers are , I don't know how many orders of magnitude higher than 600 years old.

Facing Zhang Xu's answer, Nicole May fell into a wave of deep thought.Originally, he just wanted to hear Zhang Xu's novel point of view, but he didn't know that the other party didn't follow the routine and directly crushed the level.

Then Nicole May suddenly thought of a problem. Such words should not be spoken by an eleven or twelve-year-old child. Only people who have personally experienced a long life can say such words, and such words do not seem to be made by a person. Comprehension, but the summary of many immortals.

While drinking tea, Zhang Xu secretly observed Nicolas May. After drinking a cup of tea, he was sure that Nicolas May had been misled by his own asymmetric brain attack.

It was only when Zhang Xu finished another cup of tea that Nicole May broke away from his contemplation.

"Mr. Zhang, do you have such immortals in China?" Nicolas asked with a serious face.

"I haven't seen it before." Zhang Xu replied.

After experiencing a time-traveling experience, knowing that there is another time-traveling fellow, and knowing that this is a world with magic, Zhang Xu will not be surprised no matter what strange things happen in this world. Dumbledore recruited Gandalf to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and he was able to treat it calmly.If one day someone told him that the old man who sold tea eggs at the gate of his community was Dayu, and the one who sold roasted sweet potatoes was Jiang Ziya, he would also be able to remain calm.

So Zhang Xu didn't dare to deny some things easily.What if such a person really exists?

In the eyes of Nicolas, if some problems are not denied, it is considered as an admission.

Seeing that Zhang Xu didn't want to say more, Nicole May stopped asking.

For a moment, Nicolas May didn't know how to start the following topic.

At this time Zhang Xu changed the subject, "Professor LeMay, the Philosopher's Stone you made is a miracle in the history of magic. In the magic world of China, your Philosopher's Stone is also highly praised."

Nicole May shook his head and said, "It's not as magical as the rumors say, and its functions are not as powerful as people think."

Zhang Xu thought for a while and asked, "Is there a limit to its energy?"

Nicolas nodded and said, "Yes, its energy is almost used up."

Nicole May was misled by Zhang Xu's words just now, thinking that the Philosopher's Stone in his hand was not something unique in the eyes of others, and it was meaningless to hide it by himself, so he simply said it all.Nicole May knew that the young man in front of him was not just a simple foreign student, he was also the mouthpiece of the magic world between the East and the West.

"Then just make one more piece"

Only then did Zhang Xu understand why Dumbledore destroyed the Philosopher's Stone in the end.The biggest reason is that Nicolas May's life-extending treasure has insufficient balance, so Nicolas May simply said that my death is not because of the embarrassing balance of the life-extending treasure, which is said to be on permanent standby, but that I have lived too long It's too long.In order to prevent people from discovering the truth, it was given to Dumbledore to set up a bureau and then destroyed.In this way, no one will know the truth about the insufficient balance of Xumingbao in the future.

"There is no way to make another piece. When making the Sorcerer's Stone, I used up the last few materials of some extinct magical creatures. Now I can't make up all the main materials anymore." Nicolas May He shook his head and said.

"That's really a pity." Zhang Xu said.

"Then can you trade the Philosopher's Stone to me? There is also the method of making the Philosopher's Stone. Feel free to ask for the price." At this moment Zhang Xu said like a big dog.

Nicole May was stunned for a moment. Although he had thought that the person behind Zhang Xu would want the Philosopher's Stone, he never expected that the other party would pop up a transaction window so directly.

"I have handed over the Sorcerer's Stone to Albus, and I will let Albus decide its future ownership." Nicolas May kicked the ball to Dumbledore, "I have all the methods of making the Sorcerer's Stone from the beginning. Put it in the Philosopher's Stone, there is no other way to make the Philosopher's Stone in the world."

After getting such an answer, Zhang Xu couldn't say anything more.

Next, Zhang Xu asked Nicolas May about alchemy. Who told Hogwarts that there are no alchemy courses?

Nicole May returned to his home court and answered all the questions raised by Zhang Xu.

Nicole May soon discovered that Dumbledore's praise of Zhang Xu's excellence was not an exaggeration.Many of the questions Zhang Xu asked were very basic, but after answering them himself, he could quickly understand the content and draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

After the two asked and answered, it was time for dinner soon.

After the two vehemently complained that Hogwarts had no alchemy class, Nicole May said that he would present a set of Beauxbaton's alchemy textbooks to Zhang Xu. If Zhang Xu had any questions during self-study, he could write Give him the letter, and he can live for several years without the Philosopher's Stone.

Zhang Xu wrote to Dumbledore that night, telling him about the deal with Nicolas May about the Sorcerer's Stone, and asked Dumbledore if the Sorcerer's Stone was for sale.And Dumbledore's reply was a back-to-school interview.
