Harry Potter’s Defense Professor

Tonks took out a door key and let Lockhart hold it. After a while of dizziness, they arrived in front of an elegant building. Several men were smoking and chatting in front of the house. After seeing Tonks and Lockhart, they just nodded. , did not speak.

"They're my colleagues," Tonks explained.

After entering the house, a white-bearded old man sitting in a chair nodded to Lockhart with a smile.

"Welcome, Mr. Lockhart."

Lockhart hurriedly returned the salute: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Nicole LeMay."

Lockhart was surprised. He thought that a person who lived for six hundred years was either old and ugly, or rejuvenated and youthful, but Nicole Lemay looked like an ordinary old man.

"Please come with me..." Nicole Lemay led Lockhart into the study, "Sit."

Lockhart observed the surroundings, the room was featureless, and there were not a lot of imaginary ancient secret books on the bookshelf, it was hard to imagine that it was the study room of a person who lived 600 years old.

"How does it feel to be close to death?" LeMay also sat down across from Lockhart. "If you feel disrespectful, please forgive an old man's curiosity."

"Well, a strange feeling, a void, as if... I am the creator of the world. Fortunately, I created the world in time and woke up."

"An unimaginable experience, but I'll be able to experience it myself soon." Lemay nodded.

This sentence reminded Lockhart that the old man in front of him, in order to prevent the wizarding world from falling into crisis, had voluntarily given up the Philosopher's Stone, and he was walking alone towards that infinitely high up and down, infinitely wide left and right, eternal wall— ---die.

This made him awe-inspiring, and put away his habitual smile: "Everyone has the opportunity to experience death, everything will pass away, and only the god of death has the right to live forever."

"Only death is immortal, which is interesting." LeMay seemed to agree with this sentence. "Actually, I didn't voluntarily give up the Philosopher's Stone."

Lockhart was taken aback, is there any inside story?

LeMay ignored Lockhart's surprise and continued, "The Philosopher's Stone has expired."

"But you know how to make a Philosopher's Stone." Lockhart still didn't understand.

LeMay didn't answer, he took out a red gem and put it on the table. There are magnificent colors flowing in this stone, exuding a peculiar smell.

This is definitely a magic stone, although I have never seen or heard its description, but if such a magical and powerful stone is not a magic stone, then Lockhart does not know what a magic stone will look like. .

Lockhart resisted the urge to give the old man in front of him the urge to forget about it and then steal the treasure and abscond. Nicole LeMay's strength is definitely not under Dumbledore's. The body can age, but the magic power increases with age. , Although the growth rate gradually slows down after adulthood, it will never stop.

——And the old man in front of him is theoretically the strongest wizard.

"I made two magic stones from the materials I collected, and I didn't tell him about Dumbledore." LeMay seemed to see through Lockhart's mind, "One can make me live 700 years, and theoretically I It only takes 10 years to do another one.”

Lockhart knew that LeMay must have something to tell him.

"But after I used one, I knew I was going the wrong way. This is not the way to live forever." Lemay seemed to be recalling, "The Philosopher's Stone makes my magic power begin to decay."

"Its principle is to sacrifice magic power to forcibly repair the aging body. In theory, as long as your magic power increases faster than the speed of repairing the magic power, you can live forever. But the physical decay is getting faster and faster, in order to survive, magic power It also decays faster and faster, like drinking poison to quench thirst."

"When I first made the Philosopher's Stone, I was one of the strongest wizards in the world, but now I've become a Squib. At the same time, my body has begun to age at an incredible rate.

It's like 600 years of time, all in a few months! "LeMay seems to have a lot to say.

Lockhart nodded: "If you can become a Muggle and live forever, I think many people would like it. You mean that people without magic power can't continue to use the Philosopher's Stone, and can't rely on the magic power of others?"

Lemay nodded: "In other words, I didn't give up immortality, but I couldn't survive any longer."

"But it can make you live to be 600 years old, and the Philosopher's Stone is still a successful product."

"No, if that's all, the Philosopher's Stone is of course a good thing. However, when I lived to be 200 years old, I found—I started to lose my senses."

"At first, the symptoms were mild, I just had a hard time being happy or sad, but as time went on, I started to feel less and less of any emotional ups and downs, and around the age of 250, I was completely emotionless, I can't be sad when a friend dies. I can't be happy when my apprentices have achieved great things. That's why I don't take any more apprentices or continue to practice medicine to save people, because I can't get the pleasure from teaching knowledge and helping others. "

"After a while, I even feel like the taste has disappeared. All my feelings are simulated. Do you know what that feels like?" Nicole Lemay said lightly, "It's better to die than life, but The fear of death, of course, actually I don't have this feeling of fear anymore, it's a very subtle fear, maybe it's the nature of all life to try to stay away from death. In the rest of my life, I'm looking for a solution to this The wrong way."

Now that LeMay is sitting and saying this to Lockhart, it's clear that no solution has been found.

"What's the use of telling me this? Does Dumbledore know?"

"He knows, otherwise, because of his temper, he can't force me to make one for him immediately. In fact, Voldemort should really get the Philosopher's Stone. I'm a little bit looking forward to what his expression will look like when his magic power is declining."

"So, this Philosopher's Stone?"

"Destroy it, or play with it, as you like. This thing is yours, but I need you to do me a favor."

"What about my physical trauma?" Lockhart asked nervously.

"I lied to you, the wounds of the body will heal. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Lemay took out three more bottles of potions, "The permanent magic potion, I have almost wanted to drink it as plain water in the past 100 years. This is the first time. Drinking it works best, the second bottle starts off badly, and unfortunately, for me, it's really just plain water."

"What do you need me to do?" Lockhart stood up and took the bottle with both hands. Although he was pleasantly surprised, he was full of doubts and small fears. Could it be that I am the protagonist, and I also met this mysterious old man who taught me everything?

"I heard Dumbledore say, you are the best memory magician in the world, please let me and my apprentices forget how to make and use the Philosopher's Stone. My apprentices are lying next door now, I don't want me Later people continue to take this wrong route, and it will save Voldemort's mind."

"Understood." Lockhart was startled, how did Dumbledore know that he was good at memory magic, did he know it long ago? But he also knew in his heart that if Dumbledore was malicious, he would have been ruined long ago.

"Let's start right away. I want to go to death quietly. After that, remember to let the Aurors at the door leave."

Lockhart took out his wand, feeling strange because he had never cast this spell with the other person facing him and looking at him. "Forget it all!"

It took a few minutes to forget everything, but the spell was successful and someone in the world might be able to recover it, but definitely not Voldemort. When Lockhart walked out of Lemay's house with the Philosopher's Stone in his pocket, he had the feeling that he was dreaming, inexplicably ruining the plot, inexplicably sleeping for months, inexplicably participating in what might be a wizard One of the biggest events in history and even human history - the shattering of the Philosopher's Stone myth.

"Am I still awake under Voldemort's death curse?"
