Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

"Elliott's yeast is an essential ingredient for alchemists to refine animal bones into the prototype of a crystal wand," Mason said.

"What wand?" Gray thought he heard wrongly, "Spar wand?"

"Yes, the crystal wand, are you surprised?" Mason said in a mocking tone, "You really think that the crystal is just the crap you taught me."

"So this is a new wand made of bone instead of wood?" Claire asked, "Then why is it called a crystal wand?"

"This is not a new wand," Mason looked up at her. "This is ancient. It existed a long time ago. It should have been as common in the world as the refill wand. It was made of different bones, just like now. Like wands, they are made of all kinds of wood, and crystal wands are made of all kinds of bones, including horse bones, cow bones, etc., and even crazier dragon bones, and some are made of huge horns or Made of teeth. As for the crystals, they are mixed stones condensed from different crystal powders and embedded in the wand, so that the magic power of those crystals can be exerted."

He picked up the piece of paper with the ingredients written on it.

"The Elixir yeast is the key to making a crystal wand. It is said that pouring the liquid Elixir yeast on the handle of the wand can corrode a pit and put condensed water inside it. After mixing the crystal and sealing it once, the crystal wand is made.”

"Since you said that this kind of wand originally existed, why have I never heard of it?" Gray said.

"I don't know how long I have lived!"

Gray remembered that this matter had something to do with him.

"Did Nico Flamel actually tell you this?"

"Yes, he is an old friend of mine. One day, Nico told me that a crystal wand made of bone has disappeared in this world. Originally, this kind of wand was still very common when he was young. There are two kinds of wands that people can use, one is the current wand with a replacement core, and the other is this wand. But after he secluded himself for hundreds of years, when he came back, he found that it had disappeared. People never seemed to know about the crystal. Magic wand.”

"Nico has been restoring the crystal wand to let the world know it. Sometimes he suspected that he was dreaming and did not exist at all, but his wife also said that he had definitely seen that kind of wand when he was young."

"So he asked you and Professor Dumbledore to help you make this wand together?"

When Gray mentioned Dumbledore, Claire glanced at him sideways.

"No, actually it's just me, Nico, and Frandy, the three of us. Dumbledore is another matter." Mason said dryly, "Then we have to talk about the French Gang. I prefer to call them They are French. There is a group of extremists in France who believe in alchemy and hedron science. They also hope to regain the hedron wand, but Nicole Flamel discovered that their intentions were evil."

"Obviously, the French guys also want to get Elixir yeast. These gangsters have killed many people in order to investigate it, and many people are missing! They will do anything to achieve their goals, Nico... After Flamel returned to France, they actually threatened my old friend! The greatest alchemist of our time! They thought that Nico must know about Eliochier's yeast after living for such a long time, but in fact, As you know, Nico has no idea that he was obsessed with making magic stones in his early years and didn’t even care about the crystal wands that everyone could have at that time.”

Mason pounded the table angrily, and Claire, who was concentrating on digesting the conversation, was startled.

"But how could those French guys easily think that this matter had nothing to do with him? They even suspected that the Philosopher's Stone had something to do with yeast, so they started to think about the Philosopher's Stone. So, Nico, who was aware of this problem, gave the Philosopher's Stone to his friend Dumbledore kept it. When those French guys were desperately looking for the Philosopher's Stone in France, it had been secretly hidden in Gringotts in England. What a great idea!"

Mason's tone was very sarcastic, and Gray could tell that he looked down on those French people from the bottom of his heart.

"But just doing this is not enough. Nico doesn't want to see the alchemists and crystal scholars being harmed by the French. The French are very cunning. They deliberately create accidents and even modify their memories. And No one knows what they look like, all this is to avoid being caught. Nico went to the Ministry of Magic, but the other party did not believe that there was a group of people who were killing people for something that they had never heard of and did not exist. It’s just because of Nico’s face that they agreed on the surface, but in fact they didn’t take care of it at all! They only regarded these as disappearances or accidents!”

This method is very similar to Voldemort's, creating accidents and modifying memories, so people will never know who the real murderer is.

"In this way, Nico and I are committed to restoring the crystal wand, in order to fulfill his wish - to recover the missing wand, but more importantly to prove its existence to the world and make them aware of the French people. To do evil and make them believe that there is such a threat."

"But after so many years, you have gained nothing, and the French are still active," Gray held up the piece of paper. "Even this recipe was obtained from my mother."

"Yes, we thought very well at the beginning. As long as two alchemists refine it based on the information and patiently refine it, they will definitely make a wand." Mason said, "But what is surprising is that there is no such thing as a wand in any book." Elixir's yeast has been mentioned, and the crystal wand has never been mentioned. There are only things about crystals, which have gradually been abandoned and become an unpopular subject. It's like the crystal wand has never come. I live this world as if it really doesn’t exist, and even I doubt it. But is this really a dream? He and his wife both know about this magic wand, and so do the French people. Since some people know it, why is it in the book? There’s no record of it?”

He picked up the tattered parchment.

"We were at a standstill until that time, that time when we met Frandy, which is what I told you before," Mason said. "This kid Franty was very interested in crystal stones. One time she Tell Dumbledore that he found strange characters and drew them according to the drawing. Dumbledore saw that there were alchemical characters on it, so he asked her to come to me. He told me that this girl might have accidentally found what I wanted. thing."

"I took the parchment from Franti's hand. At that time, the words on it were still clearly visible, not as blurry as they are now. I saw the word at a glance - 'Elliot Hill Yeast'...and the words behind it. You know everything..."

"And now, although the recipe for Elixir's yeast has been found, my asking around about Elixir's yeast has caused the French people to turn their attention to England." Gray sighed, "In the end, The key thing is that I didn't have to ask around to find it..."

"Actually, those French people might have arrived here before you came to me." Claire interrupted him, "After all, before that, Harry Potter's protection of the Sorcerer's Stone was widely known. At that time, France You should know that the Philosopher's Stone was transferred to England."

"Yes," Mason looked at Claire with some admiration, "but it was probably earlier - before the Philosopher's Stone happened, Gringotts was broken into once. Fortunately, Dumbledore suspected that someone was trying to break in. Go ahead and take it out in advance.”

"The compatriots are still hurting. There is no progress in the matter of Eliok Hill's yeast. It can be said that there are many accidents, but the biggest accident..." Mason frowned, "It's nothing more than the magic stone that was almost taken away by the mysterious man. thing. Nico decided to destroy it, and he passed away two months later... Everything became his last wish. The original three people... Nico, Franti and I are the only ones left now. Me."

he said dryly.

"I'm the only one alive."
