Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 245 The Sorcerer's Stone and the Glory That the World Will Remember
"I……"

Hearing this, Charlie groaned, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Nicole Flamel was not in a hurry either, and continued to pick up the teacup, savoring the taste one mouthful at a time.

Time was like this, slowly passing by in the silent atmosphere of the two of them.

I don't know how long it took, the tea in the cup bottomed out, and he asked the teapot to pour another cup for himself, reminding him
"The tea seems to be getting cold... Charlie, how are you thinking?"

Charlie, too, was pulled out of his own thoughts.He looked into Nicole Flamel's eyes and showed the same smile as before.

After reorganizing the language briefly, he took a deep breath and said

"In my opinion, the criteria for distinguishing a thing as a tool or a creature are emotion and wisdom."

"Wisdom allows them to think and make decisions about their own situation and future, while emotion gives them the ability to feel happy, angry, sad, happy and self-judgmental."

"An intelligent creature is destined to be unable to be completely enslaved. It's like you plant a seed, but give it full restraint when it germinates. However, the power of life cannot be restrained, just like Seedlings can break through the hard masonry above and sprout, as can the race of house-elves."

The expression on Nicole Flamel's face did not change in the slightest, but if one looked carefully in that deep gaze, one could find that there was some light faintly emerging from it.

He crossed his fingers together and nodded silently.

"I have never heard of any related arguments before." Nicole Flamel said, "Please continue your understanding, I will listen with all my ears."

Charlie nodded.

"I think you also understand that the race of elves is born to be a powerful magical creature comparable to Auror. Although now, we can continue to enslave them through the magic left in their blood, using them as worthless tools But if one day in the future, the elves who have evolved from generation to generation gradually get rid of this magic, then what will happen to them? Will they continue to be slaves of magicians, or..."

Having said this, Charlie deliberately paused, and did not continue to speak, but the meaning expressed in the words was already self-evident.

Charlie picked up his cup of daisy tea that was half cold, and drank it with his Adam's apple shaking up and down. He didn't let out a long breath until the cup was completely down, and continued
"In the ancient civilizations of the East, there is a wise saying called "blocking is worse than sparse". If it is translated into English, it generally means that it is better to use the correct way to block it than to violently block it. Divert it so that it can be naturally integrated with the original things.”

"I think, for elves, what they need is not blocking, but dredging, so that they can enter society in a peaceful way."

After all this was said, Charlie was finally able to look into Nicole Flamel's deep eyes.

He spoke the last words without being humble or overbearing.

"If you ask me what I think about house-elves, that's how I feel."

After quietly listening to Charlie Black's words, from the beginning to the end, Nicole Flamel's mind was also constantly thinking about something along with the other party's thoughts.Finally, when Charlie finished the last sentence, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Immediately, under Charlie's gaze, he stood up again, and nodded to this young man who was only 30 years old, less than one-twentieth of his own age
"you're right."

After saying these words, he seemed to have made some decision in his heart, turned around, and walked straight to the deeper part of the second floor of the stone building without looking back.

Only Charlie was left alone, holding a porcelain cup in his hand, looking at the other person's back blankly, it was not appropriate to stand up for a while, nor was it appropriate to continue sitting there.

It wasn't until a moment later that Nicole Flamel finally turned his head and called out to Charlie who was still sitting on the sofa: "Come on, follow me, Charlie."

"Okay, Master Flamel!"

Only then did Charlie breathe a sigh of relief, and quickly responded.He got up and put the cup back on the coffee table, then hurriedly chased after Nicole Flamel in the direction where he had just left.

After the two passed through a corridor covered with many portraits, they stopped in front of a gate.

"Actually, I've been looking forward to your arrival these days, Charlie."

Nicole Flamel stretched out his hand, and slowly grasped the exquisite ball handle on the door, which was almost unknown how many years old, but he was not in a hurry to open it for a while, but stopped at the door, and said with Charlie started talking.

Although he didn't understand where Nicole Flamel was going to take him, but facing the other party's words at this moment, he couldn't help suppressing the curiosity in his heart, and couldn't help asking with a smile
"Because I'm going to bring back your Philosopher's Stone?"

"No..." Nicole Flamel shook his head, turned around, stretched out his hand and tapped his forehead lightly.Then, in the other's unpredictable eyes, he said gently, "It's because of you, or the knowledge and wisdom in your mind."

"Wisdom and wisdom..." Charlie's expression revealed a little inexplicable, he blinked, and shook his head in thought
"But... I don't understand, you are the best alchemy master in the world. You are also a top potion master, philosopher and historical researcher... If you talk about the so-called wisdom and knowledge, I would like to share with you Presumably, even ten Charlie Blacks may not be able to reach the reserves."

"Times are changing, my child..." Nicole Flamel's eyes showed a bit of melancholy, as if he was recalling the long life he had experienced over the years and the countless friends who had passed away.After being in a daze for a few seconds, he continued

"Albus told me that you are the smartest young man he has ever met... I just checked and he is not exaggerating."

He looked at the young man in front of him with relief, like a wise elder, he stretched out his hand, and slowly brushed across Charlie's head, with a gentle force, but it made people calmly let go of everything in their hearts.

"The question just now, if your answer does not satisfy me, I think I will owe you a favor and let you go..."

Charlie's heart moved slightly, his eyes widened a bit, and he looked at Nicole Flamel in front of him
he continued

"And now, I will ask you to help me. In return, I will give you the Philosopher's Stone and the glory that will be remembered by the world."

Finally——As soon as these words came out, Charlie's breathing stagnated, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle's eye.

With a sound of "Boom!", something seemed to explode in my mind.
