Eternal life is a field that mortals should not set foot in. This should be the exclusive domain of the gods.
However, in the wizarding world, everyone knows that there is one person who has broken through the constraints of the gods, and that is Nico Flamel. He is also the only person who has stolen the powers of the gods.
Everyone was envious of him, and when Nico was young, many people thought about getting the Philosopher's Stone from his hands. However, no one was able to succeed in the subsequent process, and more people returned without success, and even fell into certain crises due to certain circumstances afterwards.
Although everyone doesn’t say it openly, they all know it in their hearts. There must be some force behind Nico Flamel's back. Moreover, this force is still powerful enough to make everyone come back defeated.
Of course, everyone is watching here, and they are all looking forward to whether Nico Flamel can live forever.
As a result, while they felt excited, they also felt uncomfortable.
Nico Flamel has lived and survived the death of many of his peers. But the immortal Luke has accumulated more and more power, and his weight is getting bigger and bigger, so it is difficult to take action directly.
At the same time... Nico's appearance became increasingly clear. The feeling of eternal life may not make people feel so happy.
Therefore, except for those old people who are dying of life, basically no one cares about the Philosopher's Stone.
And now, Luke knows that the four legendary giants should all be able to live forever.
Nico's immortality was so deeply flawed. What about the Big Four?
Is the method of immortality of the Big Four really much better than the Philosopher's Stone pursued by countless alchemists?
They are geniuses from heaven...but it is difficult for man to defy nature.
"Your flaw is..."
Luke asked tentatively.
"I don't know about the others. You have also discovered my flaws. I can't change back to human form. Or...I can't become a wizard."
The lion lay down in front of Luke. It was much taller than a normal lion, so even if he was lying down, he could easily look at Luke's level.
"When I transform into various animals, I can have the magic resistance and strength of a dragon. But when I forcefully transform back into a human, I will become as weak as a baby."
"And it will be extremely painful. At the beginning, I was wondering if there was any way to change it. But later, I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't change myself back to the way it was before."
"Even if I want to die as a human being, I can't."
When he said this, the lion's tone was only low, but there was no deeper regret. Obviously. Although the current situation makes him a little dissatisfied. But that doesn't mean he can't accept the status quo at all. In other words, he hasn't given up yet.
For an immortal person to spend the rest of his time recovering his body and perfecting his immortality, this is quite a rush.
Not necessarily a bad thing.
But Luke still thought of the worst in this situation.
It must be said that it would be somewhat ironic if an immortal person only had the thought of ending his own life for the rest of his immortal life.
A lot of things flashed through Luke's mind at once. The lion opposite clearly understood Luke's thoughts, and after showing a humane smile, he said: "Calm down. Although there are flaws like this, to be honest, only us people can say this." said."
Whether immortality is a good thing or not is not something these short-lived species should consider. For those who want to pursue immortality but cannot achieve it, what are the shortcomings of immortality?
When Luke heard this, he also smiled bitterly.
He has no pursuit of immortality. He had lived a good life in his previous life, but when he thought about living that kind of life for hundreds or thousands of years, he felt bored.
He knew how tired Luke was now. Living with such worry and effort, it really feels like it would be better to die early.
"Others' methods of immortality must have flaws. The method of immortality was a topic that the four of us competed with at that time. Of course, there was also a lot of help from each other. For example, when my method of immortality was being perfected, Salazar gave it to me. An auxiliary potion. Without this potion, I would not have succeeded."
The lion said this to dispel Luke's desire for eternal life to a certain extent. Luke was his descendant anyway, and he certainly didn't want to watch Luke jump into the pit. He knew very well that the immortality methods of the four of them were all traps.
"Unless you have no choice. I think if you want to extend your life, you'd better find another way. Of course... you are still a child now, so there is no need to worry about your life span."
The lion shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression: "To be honest, maybe after you live to a certain age, you won't want to live anymore."
"Now that I have put in a lot of effort to gain eternal life, it's still a matter of debate whether I'm willing to commit suicide."
Luke's lips twitched twice after hearing this. I feel that there is still a slight gap between what this ancestor said and what people say.
"Then... Ancestor, can you give me this method of eternal life?"
Luke thought for a moment, then licked his face and said to Gryffindor with a smile.
The lion looked at Luke with disdain: "Your shameless attitude really reminds me of me. Just now you kicked my table and wanted to fall out with me, and now you are calling me out?"
Luke smiled and said nothing.
He finally understood that Gryffindor had no ties at all and was purely an individual player. He doesn't care about other people's ridicule, nor does he care about other people's flattery. Of course, apart from the Big Four, there are three other people among these others. Especially Slytherin.
Of course, when thinking about this, Luke also looked at the surrounding trophies. I'm afraid that before Gryffindor grew up, all his feelings were here.
Now, they can only serve as tools of nostalgia, allowing Gryffindors to feel a little bit more human. But it can never be found again.
"I called you here this time mainly because I noticed the aura of Salazar on your body. I called you here just to get some information about him."
The lion put his head on his folded paws and said, "Give me some news and let me see if you can satisfy me."
Luke nodded. Even if it wasn't for the method of immortality, a simple breakthrough in the transformation technique was enough to make Luke put down his face. Or let’s talk about the inheritance of the Big Four. He was quite afraid of any of them, but any one of them could make ripples of greed in his heart.
Luke took a deep breath and recounted all the things that happened in the secret room before.
The lion lowered his head and listened to Luke's words without saying a word.
The story was not long, and within a few minutes, Luke revealed everything about the secret room.
It is necessary to hide it from others, but hide the matter of Slytherin from Gryffindor. It's more or less unnecessary.
After listening to Luke's story, Gryffindor was silent for a long time, then smiled and said: "I guess the person you are talking to is not Salazar himself... After all, you also said that his thoughts and body are There are too many souls. I can’t guess who is talking to you behind there. "
Luke already had a guess about this matter.
But after listening to it for so long, Hermione still half understood. Her habit is to ask questions when she doesn’t understand.
"Why do you say that? When I saw Lord Slytherin's missing body in the secret room before, he was still in great condition."
Hermione thought about the translucent figure in the Chamber of Secrets. Although his posture was arrogant, his tone was gloomy. But considering Luke's reputation, Slytherin's missing body was quite friendly to both Taylor and Hermione.
The lion was not angry and said with a smile: "Ha, little girl, let me ask you, what do you think of my condition?"
Hermione wanted to say yes. But think about it, a human being cannot live as a human being. Look at it in a philosophical way of thinking. This is probably not good.
So Hermione was speechless and just shook her head.
"That's right! You see, this is how I am in this state. Salazar's method of immortality is much bigger than my problem at first glance. Split the soul and reproduce the memory. Even if such a thing allows him to There is no point in using your own biotechnology to create a body without wear and tear.”
"Being able to have a logical conversation with Luke. I don't believe in this kind of thing."
"What Helga can't do, Salazar, even though he is a talented person, cannot do it."
What the lion said was decisive, but he was really qualified to say it.
After all, everyone is of the same level, and no one is better than anyone else.
After seeing that Hermione stopped talking, the lion's gaze returned to Luke again. He shook his head and said: "Don't worry. You still have a long time to live. I'm afraid my time will be longer. Wait. When you really need it, come to me again and ask for this method."
"I know what you are thinking, but you want to use my things to benefit yourself. I can't agree."
The lion snorted and said calmly: "Not everyone is worthy of using my method."
Luke rubbed the back of his head. He had already expected this. After all, this man's eyes are higher than the top. If he is expected to give those mediocre people a chance of eternal life, it is better to let them die.
"However, you should have other things you want."
Gryffindor looked at the disappointed Luke and said with a smile: "I think you really need my ideas for developing talents at that time."
Luke's expression suddenly brightened. This was what he needed most.
It's not that he doesn't have ideas for development, but Gryffindor's experience in talent development will definitely allow him to stand on the shoulders of giants and climb up. Getting twice the result with half the effort is a humble statement.
"That's no problem. To be honest, I didn't expect that this talent could be inherited..." The lion gave Luke a thoughtful look, "I dare not say anything else. At least in the research direction of blood fusion, you should It’s Salazar’s greatest work.”
No one likes to hear this. After hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but frown. But Luke's expression was still calm. No one likes to be treated like a work of art. This completely deprives a person of his qualifications as a human being.
However, what the other party said was true, and Luke had no way to refute it.
"I have never heard of anyone else possessing this talent before I awakened. And after me and before you, I have never seen anyone else possess it."
"It's my selfish intention to help you. I have no ideas to continue my research now. I want to see if you, a thousand years from now, have any new research ideas."
Luke smiled and said, "I understand, thank you."
But after he said his thanks, he saw a somewhat gloating expression on the lion's face.
"I won't pass the memory to you directly, it's too complicated. I'm not good at this Chinese thing, and it's easy to hurt you. If you have Luo Yinna, you can also ask her to do it for you."
】
Luke had a feeling that this was definitely not the real reason. Although the control of memory is strong or weak. But it is not difficult to separate a part of the memory.
The Pensieve was developed to read these memories. These memories are relatively common in the wizarding world. It's just that... the risk is not low. There are not many people who dare to put a wand directly against their own heads to extract memories.
"I originally prepared a small gift. You can get it as long as you follow my instructions."
Luke's expression changed.
The amusement on the lion's face became more and more obvious.
"Now guess where is the little gift I gave you?"
Luke looked at the overturned table over there. The inkwell has become empty. There was also a breath of cold air lying on the ground, the white quill already stained with dust and the white paper wet with ink.
He took out the magic wand in his hand and waved it: "Repair it as before."
However, there was no reaction at all.
Luke closed his eyes in pain.
The lion in front of him laughed heartlessly. It sounds really enjoyable.
After a while, the lion said: "Okay, little guy, stop acting. I'll prepare another one for you. But you also know that it's not very convenient for me to use magic power now. You may have to wait a few days, I’ll give it to you later.”
Luke smiled bitterly, he really wasn't all pretending. Although knowing it will definitely not affect the price. But he also felt a little regretful. Just get angry when you're angry, there's really no need to take it out on something.
It's still unnecessary.
But now that the matter was over, he could only nod and say thank you.
"No need to thank me. You should know. Although it can't be said to be a complete deal. But we both gave chips."
"So don't feel like you owe me anything. I don't need the gratitude of a brat like you."
There was an indifferent smile on the lion's face. He looked at the boy opposite and said, "I don't know what you are dreaming about, pursuing, or planning, but I hope it is something big enough."
"If you are stingy, don't say you are my descendant."
