Harry Potter: Charlie's Candy Factory

Chapter 246 Principles
"The Philosopher's Stone and... the glory that is enough to be remembered by the world..."

At this moment, Charlie only felt that his brain was in a trance, and the expression on his face finally lost the confidence and calmness of the past, causing surprise, confusion, puzzlement and many other emotions to emerge one by one on his handsome face.

He frowned slightly, and muttered to Nicole Flamel, repeating what the other party said just now.The other party, on the other hand, still calmly nodded, reaffirming the weight of these words.

As if he had already anticipated Charlie's reaction at this moment, Nicole Flamel was not in a hurry, and even gave the other party enough time to digest the news that would cause his brain to shut down.

You know... that's the Philosopher's Stone.If the Philosopher's Stone is what it is, it is the most perfect alchemical item in the world.Great power, endless wealth, long life.No matter it is any wizard, as long as he can get it, then the three most coveted wishes of all living beings in the world will be easily obtained!

I didn't see that even Voldemort, known as the second-generation Dark Lord, was able to take risks in order to obtain the Philosopher's Stone, leading his men to lurk under Dumbledore's nose for several months. Dancing on the tip of the knife every day, if one accidentally shows the slightest flaw in front of that old and cunning principal, the one who greets him will be wiped out... However, even so, Voldemort still has no hesitation, and regards it as the best answer to restore his strength From this, it is enough to see the attraction of the so-called Philosopher's Stone to wizards.

But now, Nicole Flamel stood in front of Charlie Black and promised that if he would do him a favor, he would hand over the Philosopher's Stone to him!Such a lucrative temptation, not to mention that Charlie reacted violently, if anyone stood in his position, I am afraid it would be even more unbearable.

In the gradually quiet air, Nicole Flamel heard it—the young man on the opposite side, his breathing was no longer as calm as before, and it began to become more intense, and also, hotter...

"Well, are you willing to agree?"

He carefully observed every minute change in Charlie Black.After collecting them all in his eyes, Nicole Flamel spoke leisurely, and continued to ask.

"I…………"

Almost as soon as Nicole Flamel's voice fell, Charlie spoke.However, there was only one "I" left and the word "willing" did not fall, and his words stopped abruptly on his lips.

Almost at the last moment, facing almost terrifying interests, Charlie Black regained his sobriety.

In his eyes, the hot and pure desire suddenly disappeared, and the complex expressions on his face returned to calm in the blink of an eye.

"Huh..." Nicole Flamel was surprised by such an obvious change, and secretly surprised in his heart, even the eyes that were deeply sunken in the eye sockets widened a little.

"I would like to know what the request you mentioned specifically refers to."

Charlie's voice was capable and calm, as if ignoring the reward of the so-called Philosopher's Stone, or as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him at all.

"I thought you would just agree to come down first."

Nicole Flamel smiled again, seeming to be very happy, and even narrowed his eyes, like a line.

"It probably stems from my inner caution. Since I founded the candy factory, I have been walking slowly on a single-plank bridge. There is an abyss under my feet. As long as I am not careful, I will slip and fall, and I will end up in a The fate of being smashed to pieces."

The corners of Charlie's mouth curled up a bit, looking at Nicole Flamel in front of him, he said

"Under such an environment, I understand a truth... that is, there is no free candy in the world. Instead of being attracted by the success in the distance, it is better to step on every step on the single-plank bridge."

"..." Charlie's voice fell, but Nicole Flamel was not as confident as when he asked the other party just now.

After a while, he let out a faint sigh, turned around, sighed, and held the ball-shaped doorknob again.

"Albus Dumbledore really cultivated a good apprentice this time... He has missed others countless times, from Gellert Grindelwald to Tom Marvolo Riddle." , Nicole Flamel's voice showed a somewhat obvious smile

"Facts have proved that decades of time have also made a lot of progress in his vision."

After all, Nicole Flamel stopped talking nonsense, and his forearm led his palm to clenched tightly, exerting a little force.In the next second, there was only a "click" sound from the door lock, and the ten-centimeter-thick door opened a long and narrow gap inward with a gust of wind blowing from behind Charlie.

"Now, you have officially passed, little Charlie...First of all, I am sorry for my previous behavior of being so rude, because the matter is very important, whether it is what I am going to ask you, or the Philosopher's Stone, I have to make sure that the They are entrusted to a trustworthy person.

Now I am sure that you are a kind person, at least a principled person.Putting the Philosopher's Stone in your hand does not tarnish its power. "

The air flowed as Nicole Flamel pushed the door open. When the door was completely opened, the air flow poured in, and in an instant, countless drawings in the entire room were blown into the air.

Under Charlie's watchful eyes, a study room that had been applied with the seamless extension technique, which was several times larger than it looked from the outside, appeared in front of his eyes. Countless classics started from the corner of the room wall, one by one. Ben, densely packed straight to the ceiling, at first glance, there are no less than tens of thousands!
Its collection of books is so large that even the Hogwarts library will be far behind by a few streets.

But what really shocked Charlie was not these, but the huge three-to-four-meter-high table that was floating in the air on the long table in the center of the room. Alchemy items——At this moment, he was standing in front of Charlie and Nicole Flamel.The moment he appeared, he occupied all of Charlie's sights, and he was only shocked by every detail of it, and could not tolerate anything else.

Obviously, Nicole Flamel was very happy with Charlie's reaction. He smiled and raised his head, as if looking at his own child.

"My life has been too long. During more than 600 years, my wife and I have long looked down on the so-called life and death. But before I leave, I still have some thoughts."
