While walking out the door, Nico Flamel reminded Luke for the fourth time in the morning: "Remember to boil the medicine quickly. If the surplus magic power of the Philosopher's Stone cannot be digested in time, your fertility..."
"I will get the materials as soon as possible."
Luke was a little helpless. He also didn't expect that the magic stone would have such side effects, and that it would be so troublesome to use this residual magic power for his own use.
"Don't worry. Severus has all the materials. And I also have the Phoenix Tears."
Dumbledore said in relief.
He also couldn't look at the Gunter family because of this kind of ulterior motive, and he had a share of the blame for this.
After Nico nodded uneasily, he saw the two people in front of him looking towards the lake not far away. There, there was a man in armor standing there, as if he was fishing.
"This iron sheet, your friend?"
Luke asked, poking Dumbledore in the side.
Dumbledore slapped the little bastard's hand angrily: "I don't know him!"
Kidd stood quietly by the lake, holding a fishing rod in his hand.
Next to him, Nico's snowy owl was staring at him with a fierce expression, but it also looked helpless.
Kidd ignored him. There was no expression on his armor-covered face, but the whole thing gave people an extraordinarily indifferent feeling.
Within a moment, Kidd gently picked up the fishing rod in his hand, and a sizable fish broke out of the water. It was struggling endlessly in the air with its tail shaking.
Kidd, who was dressed in iron skin, could not clearly see the features on his face, but Luke, who had opened his emotional vision, could see that he was still quite happy now.
He was about to swing to his side, and the fish drew a beautiful parabola in the air and landed in his hand. The fish seemed to sense some danger and swung more and more fiercely. Kidd silently removed the hook from the fish's mouth and threw the fish back into the lake.
This move seemed to irritate the snowy owl, which made an angry cry at Kidd. Kidd just glanced at it and laughed softly.
"That seems to be...Kid."
Nico, who walked in front of the two of them, looked at the iron sheet and said with a slightly doubtful expression.
Kidd?
Dumbledore frowned. He had some impression of the name.
Luke thought of a guy wearing a top hat and a white suit.
Although the painting styles of these two guys are completely different.
"He is one of the largest forces in the dark wizarding world in France, the leader of the 'Iron Armor'." Nico said to Luke, "In the legend, he always wears a suit of armor and will never take it off no matter what. .”
"There are also rumors that he is not a person under the armor at all, that he really is the armor."
Luke looked at the two old men beside him, neither of whom looked particularly relaxed, and suddenly realized how difficult the other party was.
What's even worse is that he feels that the tin man in front of him is probably coming after him.
Because this is not the first time that Dumbledore, Nico Flamel, and even the Sorcerer's Stone have appeared in France. Both openly and privately. This guy didn't show up before. As a result, now that I have myself as a variable, this guy appears immediately. In a situation like this, it would be difficult for Luke not to suspect that it was his fault.
"Be careful. Although the opponent's strength cannot match yours, France is their territory after all."
Nico shook his head and reminded Dumbledore beside him.
Of course he wouldn't tell Luke to be careful when it was his turn to fight.
"Luke, come into the courtyard with me. If there's any trouble, let Dumbledore deal with it."
Nico really didn't mean to test when he said this. Just kidding... There is no need to test the child with a dark wizard who is in perfect condition, powerful, and has no friendship.
That wasn't a test, that was a real intention to kill Luke.
"I'm afraid I can't get in." Luke said with a wry smile on his face, "I feel like this guy is probably looking for me."
When Luke said this, the two people around him understood. In fact, it was not surprising. It's normal for Luke to be treated like this.
I just don’t know what the other party’s intention is.
But if Dumbledore is there to help, I know that the other party will definitely not do anything drastic.
'Iron Armor' does have some power in France, but it is too naive to rely on this power to compete with Dumbledore.
Nico shook his head, knowing that there was a high probability that nothing would happen today.
"Alas, I have to change places again. I finally found a place with a good view."
"Mr. Flamel can rest assured that I will never reveal a word of your address to anyone."
Kidd, who was not far away, said as he walked towards this side. The armor made a clanging sound of gold and iron as it walked.
And his voice was like his armor, strong and cold.
Luke looked at Kidd who was walking towards him, as if he had gotten rid of some restraints, and his expression became more and more casual.
Nico Flamel on the other side smiled and shook his head and said: "If you can believe what you say, you'll be damned."
After saying that, he gave Dumbledore a look, then turned and returned to his house.
Kidd didn't care and just continued to walk forward until he reached the two of them. He didn't look at Dumbledore on the side, but looked at Luke.
Luke could see nothing but the cold iron helmet.
At least that's how it looks from Dumbledore's perspective.
And in Luke's field of vision. That layer of emotional dust is not tightly attached to the iron skin. But there is a small distance between them.
Under normal circumstances, for example, when Taylor is wearing clothes, the emotional dust on her body will stick to her clothes. To be precise, the clothes are included in the scope of the emotional dust.
And if you are naked, you will find that there is actually a slight distance between emotional dust and the human body.
Luke didn't know what was going on, but according to his research, that tiny distance was actually not a real distance, but a blank space.
If all emotions can really be suppressed into a blank, all human emotions will disappear... Luke can only guess that at present, he does not have the ability to suppress a person's entire emotions into a blank. So I don’t know what the consequences will be after doing this.
But that's not the point.
The point is, Kidd is wearing armor, but he is not wearing armor?
That is to say...
"Rumors really can't be killed with one shot."
Luke spoke first with a playful smile on his face.
At this time, in Kidd's field of vision. Amidst the pure black and white, there were two human figures shining with strange brilliance like diamonds. Of course, one looks like the sun at noon, and the other looks like the stars at night.
"Luke...has the spiritual power of His Highness actually taken this step?"
Kidd said in his heart with some surprise. But he didn't have any expression to show it.
"I think so too. You are indeed worthy of your reputation."
Kidd said in a smiling tone.
Then he turned to Dumbledore and said, "I have long admired you, Professor Dumbledore."
Dumbledore nodded and looked at Kidd in front of him. He stared at Kidd with sharp eyes like an eagle, as if he wanted to see through Kidd's appearance behind the armor.
"I've heard your story too, Mr. Kidd...from Grindelwald."
Dumbledore was quite distrustful of the armor in front of him. Because Grindelwald was rampant in France back then, and this guy was among them who contributed to it.
Of course, there must be more than just Kidd and his Iron Armor behind that incident.
But participation is participation.
And more importantly... this armor should be the same as the armor from back then, but is the person under the armor still the same person?
Dumbledore felt uncomfortable talking.
"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us." Kidd said with a smile after hearing Dumbledore's smile, "But the matter is over. And the relationship between us Iron Armor and the Saint is not harmonious now.
After finishing speaking, Kidd ignored Dumbledore and looked at Luke and said, "Mr. Gunter, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Then let's stay here." Luke said casually, "It's already hidden enough here, and Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Flamel, and Mrs. Flamel are all people I trust. If you have anything, just tell me Just say it.”
Kidd's movements froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment. He soon returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. But the two people in front of them had already reached a very high level in observing words and expressions. Even though Kidd had no expression to look at, the two of them still saw the stiffness at that moment.
"Although I respect Professor Dumbledore and Mr. and Mrs. Flamel very much, it would be better for me to discuss this matter with you alone." Kidd's tone was quite respectful and he didn't mean anything else.
In fact, by now, the three people present knew who each other was.
"There's nothing we need to talk about alone. You're probably not the person assigned by my team anymore."
Luke looked at Kidd, smiled and said something in a gentle and casual tone that made Kidd a little helpless.
Luke knew the identity of the tin man in front of him when he heard the word "Your Highness." Judging from the fact that he had never heard of it and that Nico was unfamiliar with Kidd just now. Even if it is related to the Gunter family, I'm afraid it is not related to his branch.
"We serve the entire Gunter family, not just a certain bloodline. What's more, it's pointless to discuss this now, isn't it? You are the last person with the surname Gunter."
Kidd also said calmly.
"It was probably not you who contacted me at that time."
Dumbledore didn't hide it anymore. He couldn't tell whether Kidd in front of him was lying. So he could only hand over the information he knew to Luke and let Luke make his own judgment.
When Luke looked at him, Dumbledore silently stretched out a finger to Luke, which probably meant...
"A message."
Luke was too lazy to talk to Dumbledore at this time. Although he was unhappy with him taking this kind of news that everyone could guess, it was a good thing after the news was really confirmed.
Of course, the two people's barrage of words also made Kidd a little confused. He is not here to reveal his identity today. And his purpose...
"We do exist in more than one country. I have something important to tell you now, His Highness Luke..."
Kidd straightened up and secretly cursed the loser who collected the information. He also thought that Alice's troubles were caused by that person on purpose. Now that I think about it, maybe he really worked hard...
Kidd wanted to say a few more words to Luke, but he suddenly felt something moving behind him.
"Tsk...you move so fast."
Kidd groaned, with some helplessness in his tone.
Luke and Dumbledore also looked at the position behind Kidd.
"It's so lively today."
Luke looked at the tall man not far away with a scar on his face, walking towards him, and said with an unclear smile.
"Believe me, you will be busier when we really appear in other people's sight later."
Dumbledore said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
Before they left Nico's place, they had already encountered two groups of people. This matter itself is already very nonsense. You know, why Nico Flamel wanted to live in seclusion in this place, mainly because this place is hidden, and this place was enchanted by Nico Flamel. There will be an alarm if a stranger breaks in.
But now, not once did the alarm sound.
"Lord Kidd, Sir Alice wants you to go back to discuss things."
With a face that looked very fierce, he said such words in a polite manner. This contrast is also quite joyful.
"Lady Alice also greets you, Your Highness Luke."
When Luke was preparing to watch the play, the fire burned his body as expected.
"That letter should have been given to me by Miss Alice at that time, right?"
Luke didn't waste any more words and asked this question after nodding.
"Miss Alice said it was a pity that you didn't reply to her letter, but she still thought you were pen pals."
Arthur said some nonsensical words with some helplessness on his face.
After Luke raised his brows, he still smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Alice, for me. She really helped me a lot with my plan."
Then, before Arthur could even say a few words of humility, he heard Luke's cold words.
"If the Voldemort Bat hadn't been too strong, it almost killed me."
Arthur inexplicably felt that his heart instantly became extremely heavy. Fear and shame came to his mind almost at the same time, causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Arthur, who was still concerned, smiled awkwardly and said: "On this point, I'd better wait until I return to England and Miss Alice will explain it to you in person."
Luke stopped pressing his fingers hard on his arm and nodded without saying anything more: "Then let Mr. Kidd leave first. It would be better for you to reach a consensus first and then discuss it with me."
"I don't need to hear two voices. Of course, in principle, I can hear none."
Arthur didn't say anything more, bowed to Luke, and then glanced at Kidd coldly.
After the two left, Dumbledore glanced at Luke in surprise and said, "These two are not weak."
Luke sneered when he heard this.
"Guess why I didn't hesitate to terminate the contract with the Lance family that seemed harsh but actually had countless loopholes to exploit."
Dumbledore guessed, but he said nothing.
Luke said calmly: "That's not my dog. I'm afraid that when I bleed, they won't be able to resist the smell of blood at all."
Dumbledore obviously agreed with Luke's statement.
But he still gave Luke a playful look.
"I remember Gibson told me that when he kidnapped you, in addition to Chris, there was also a little girl who was guarding you. You disappeared, and the little girl may have been wronged in some way."
Luke's face didn't look good. He knew that some people would definitely book a scapegoat first.
He was really afraid that something would happen to Furong and Furong's mother.
After all, this incident started because of him.
"It's okay. I will take care of it." Luke said calmly, then looked at Dumbledore and said seriously: "But I need your help, Professor."
Dumbledore looked at Luke's serious face and smiled: "Of course, my dear student!"
