[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

—Severus, I was surprised to hear from you, and of course, I was even more surprised by your question.Because this has been a long-standing problem.Given the relatively long historical events involved in the Philosopher's Stone, I plan to spend a whole day writing this reply, even if it makes Gellert unhappy for a whole day, I will not stop writing.

——Yes, the principle of equivalent exchange is not only applicable to alchemy, but also applicable to many, many fields.Like saying your favorite potion.You are a potion master, so you should know better than me that during the potion brewing process, the potion ingredients and your magic power are paid, while the finished product and residue of the potion is obtained.The pay is always more than the finished product, and if you count the residue, maybe it's a balance.Recently I read Muggle chemistry, and they also summed up the same law: the conservation of matter.

——I am sure that the conservation of matter and the exchange of equivalent values ​​are essentially the same thing, and they are related to the basic laws of this world.However, it is a pity that my current level is limited, and I have not yet summed up this rule or saying.

—About the Sorcerer's Stone.That's right, it was indeed something that was refined with countless human lives and even souls.Of course, I have no idea what is the core of the Philosopher's Stone or what the alchemy formula is.Although Nicole Flamel was still able to communicate with people when I was young, he has always kept the secret of the Philosopher's Stone very tightly.Even I, who has been instructed by him, can only deduce it from his notes.

—I want to say, boy, don't forget the era in which Nicole Flamel lived!In that era, the witch hunting movement was prevalent, and every wizard was in an era where his life might be in danger at any time, and at the same time, every Muggle was likely to be sent to the stake.In that dirty, numb, bloody and ugly era, it was not a sin for wizards to kill Muggles, and of course, so were Muggles to kill wizards.

——When it comes to things like belief, it is difficult for us to judge by right or wrong.What I can only tell you is that when Nicole Flamel released the Sorcerer's Stone, it was the time when the witch hunt was in vogue. At that time, both the Wizengamot and the International Federation of Wizards supported Nicole Flamel Use Muggles to refine the Sorcerer's Stone.Because in that era, too many wizards died at the hands of Muggles.

——An era has its own laws and regulations.Europe is not the Far East. Europe just emerged from the ignorance and darkness of the Middle Ages more than 200 years ago.Now in our opinion, massacre is a wrong and stupid method, but in that era, Nicole Flamel used the life of Muggles to refine the Philosopher's Stone, which was unanimously approved by almost all wizards.

……

Dumbledore wrote a lot. Of course, he also mentioned Tom Riddle. He warned Severus Snape: In the chaotic, ignorant, and dark age of the Middle Ages, Nicole Flamel chose to take revenge on Ma. Melon, there is nothing wrong with such a thing, because the situation at that time could not have been worse.However, in today's peaceful age, especially Muggles have come out of their ignorance, and the wizarding world has also gained a little respite.At this time, it is a very dangerous signal to repurify the theory of pure blood and propose to take revenge on Muggles.Because it could easily bring disaster to the wizarding world.For more than 1000 years, wizards have been regressing, and Muggles, especially in the past 200 years, Muggles have progressed too fast. A thousand years ago, wizards could still find a place to survive under the eyes of Muggles, but now, as long as one is not careful, the entire wizarding world will be ruined.

Dumbledore wrote:

—Tom's idea is too dangerous.So did the wizard nobles.The Muggles of today are much, much stronger than in the past.Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan are good proof.

- Severus, I know this will be very difficult for you.But I beg you, pay attention to your godfather, Tom's rhetoric is very dangerous, pure blood is very dangerous.I think it would be great if you can do Mr. Zhao's job well.If anyone in this world can stop Tom, it must be Mr. Zhao.

That's what Dumbledore said at the end of his letter.

Of course, he did not forget to tell Severus about Nicole Flamel's current situation, and even praised Zhao Changqing's book in the letter. He said that Zhao Changqing's book gave him a lot of inspiration.He regretted that he didn't read Zhao Changqing's book until he left Hogwarts and settled in Nurmengard Castle.

The corner of Severus's mouth twitched for a long time after receiving the thick reply, and then he remembered that he asked the house-elves to take care of the messenger who was completely paralyzed and pretended to be dead in the living room with its paralyzed wings.

He didn't expect that Dumbledore would admit it so simply, and said frankly that he thought Nicole Flamel's current situation was the best punishment for him.

After shutting himself in the study for half a month, Severus sent another letter to Albus Dumbledore, describing Zhao Changqing and Tom Riddle's description of the existing magic system in the wizarding world As well as his own understanding.

These days, Severus is completely ruined.

He never imagined that such a simple magic that could almost be called household magic would have such a terrible effect!

During this time, he was terrified!

Unbeknownst to Severus, when Albus Dumbledore received the letter, the man was silent, and even Gellert Grindelwald was alarmed.

So, the next letter was written to him by Gellert Grindelwald instead of Albus Dumbledore:

—Dear Mr. Severus Prince, please forgive my presumptuousness, as Albus has no means of writing to you at the moment.He is out of his mind now, and his whole body is in a state of chaos.

——In fact, when he and I were young, we also believed that whether it is white magic or black magic, the attributes of magic are not important, what matters is strength.However, as you can see, even though he and I have the current strength, even though we have done countless experiments in the past 20 years, we still haven't found the inevitable law in magic.No, perhaps more should I say, we never thought about it.The existing theory of the magic system in the wizarding world has only adverse effects such as restriction and destruction on the development of the wizarding world. This matter is actually of great significance to each of us. Even I was aroused by the facts you stated past.

—Yes, Albus and I thought about the same question when we were very young.Of course, at that time, we were still very young, and our ideas were very immature.But, without a doubt, that was our beginning.Unfortunately, neither I nor Albus, we have lost sight of this goal.And judging from your letters, Mr. Severus Prince, your godfather has gone ahead of us two old bones.Not to mention that gentleman.
