I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 177

The consequences were so serious that it was far beyond Orlando's imagination, and he was a little anxious.

"Teacher, you must have a solution, right?" He looked at Nicole Flamel expectantly.

"Do you know how to be anxious now?" Nicole Flamel didn't immediately give a solution, but told about his youth, "When I was young, I was just like you, ignorant and fearless, disregarding life, and obsessed with the power of magic. Once when I was traveling around the world, I met a strange man in New Delhi. This man was sloppy, with gray hair and a stooped body, but his eyes were unusually bright. He was a wandering doctor, the kind not recognized by the magic world. Just such an old man, walking in the slums of New Delhi, treating poor Muggles for free, day after day, year after year, just like a child without seeking fame or profit."

Speaking of this, the corners of Nicole Flamel's eyes were a little wet. He turned his head and blinked his eyes to ease his emotions, not wanting Orlando to see his vulnerable side.

"At that time, I was well-known in the magic world, and I also made some fame. I was arrogant and arrogant, and I preconceived that this person was a guy who cheated the world. Maybe it was out of jealousy, such a sloppy People walking on the street are admired by thousands of people, or the kind of pure heartfelt admiration, which deeply hurts my heart."

Speaking of this, Nicole Flamel sneered.

"So I made up my mind to expose him. I quietly followed him and monitored him to find his handle. I thought I was very powerful and my magic level was high enough, but I didn't know that he discovered me from the beginning, but he didn't stop him. I didn’t expose it either. I spent ten days walking with him in the streets and alleys, watching him cast life magic to save one patient after another, no matter rich or poor, high or low, good or bad. Death; death without conscience. I was very surprised at the time, how he judged, so when he rejected a high-ranking official again, I jumped out and questioned him, do you know what he said?"

Orlando was fascinated, and subconsciously asked, "How did you say it?"

"He said that the human heart is like iron, and the soul is like a bright hall. If the heart is broken, the soul will naturally be black. If the soul is black, it is not worth saving. I was shocked at the time. I thought he was talking about me, and I wanted to kill people subconsciously. Silence."

Nicole Flamel fell into memory all of a sudden, and he didn't speak for a long time, and Orlando didn't dare to urge him. After a while, he continued: "In that chaotic era, wizards were not tolerated by the world, and soul magic was born again. It is a taboo, not only hated by Muggles, but also resisted by the wizarding world. When I pulled out my wand and pointed it at him, he didn't fear or resist, but looked at me fixedly. Those bright and clear eyes are still unforgettable to me. .”

"Although I was reckless and arrogant at that time, fortunately, it wasn't too bad. I pointed my wand at him but didn't move for a long time. But when I was struggling and at a loss, he smiled. The smile was clean and pure, with With a trace of relief, he said, I can cure you. I was stunned, I came to find fault, not to see a doctor, and I am not sick."

Speaking of this, Nicole Flamel laughed, laughing at his childish behavior at the time.

He said: "You are sick, and the disease is not serious. Now there is still hope. If one day you can kill a stranger without any scruples, it will be hopeless."

"After hearing this, I was very angry. No one likes to be cursed, and I am no exception. But before I got angry, he continued: I don't understand soul magic, but I know your breath of life is polluted, If you don't get treated in time, you will no longer be you. I stood there for a long time after hearing this, and I didn't know when the wand would be put down. Although I said I didn't believe it, I believed it in my heart."

Nicole Flamel's eyes were deep, looking at Orlando as if he saw himself that day, his eyes were moist, and he could no longer hold back his tears.

"I stayed by his side for a year, practicing medicine with him. This is what I promised him, and I will do it. Until one day, he suddenly told me that the time had come. I was so happy, thinking that I finally didn't have to wait This old man."

"We walked for a day and a night, using our feet, without using magic, through the city and through the jungle. He was very excited, stopping and admiring the beautiful scenery along the way, his eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance. He didn’t dare to ask more questions until we walked into the mountain and stopped in front of a century-old cedar tree. He said it was a good place with a good view, then pointed to the tree and told me to bury him here.”

Speaking of this, Nicole Flamel had already burst into tears, choked up and couldn't speak. Orlando seemed to have guessed something, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Getting along day and night for a year, it is impossible to say that there is no emotion. Just when I was about to ask, he took out his wand and gave me a full-body binding spell. I lay down under the tree, thinking that he had exposed his true nature, and wanted to He murdered my life, so he cursed without hesitation. He was not angry at all after hearing this, but just leaned against the cedar wood and stared blankly at the sunset until the sun went down."

Nicole Flamel wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and Orlando handed him a glass of water at the right time, but he took it in his hand but didn't drink it.

"What he watched was so focused and serious, as if he wanted to engrave the scene of the world in his heart. I can deeply feel his longing for life and his memory of the world."

"It's time to fulfill Chen's promise," he said while looking at me. Then, a flame gushed out and rushed into my body. This is the fire of sacrifice, the flame he ignited with the power of life, not only swept away my soul He also gave me his lifelong magic experience, until he passed away, I didn’t know his real name, and the people who benefited from him called him a sage.”

"A sage, save all sentient beings, fearless of life and death, self-sacrifice for others, can do these three things, the old man deserves this title." Orlando praised.

"Yeah, I was very touched at that time. Self-blame, annoyance, and shame welled up in my heart, which once made me doubt life. After I buried him, I built a straw shed next to the cedar wood and lived there for three years. During those three years When I devote myself to cultivation, I stay with mountains and rivers. I watch mountains, water, flowers, birds, insects and fish, and the wind and the earth every day. I am not arrogant or impetuous. Gradually, I understand a different magic world, and finally opened up the sea of ​​souls in one fell swoop. .”

Hearing this, Orlando completely understood that the old man burned himself to save the teacher when his time came, and also pointed out the way for him in the future.

"Teacher, when I have time later, I must go to pay homage to Master Sage."

It may be that the secret hidden in the bottom of my heart is too long, and the emotions cannot be released. Once released, the indelible pain will make people feel overwhelmed, and Nicole Flamel is like this at this time.

"Let's talk about this later, let's solve your problem first." Nicole Flamel collected his mind, suppressed his emotions and continued: "You have two choices now, one is to find a piece of Phoenix blood, Phoenix tears can heal All kinds of injuries have no effect on the soul, only the blood essence of the phoenix can have this effect, the blood essence of the phoenix is ​​very precious, it takes a hundred years to condense a drop, it is very difficult for ordinary people to get it, but I know that there must be one person."

"Dumbledore?"

"Yes, Albus's family has been passed down for thousands of years. Several generations have been accompanied by phoenixes. There must be some in the collection, but if you ask him for nothing, he may not give it to you. So I have prepared something for you." Nico Lemay spread out his palm, it was a metal box the size of a palm, engraved with complex magic script, exuding a cool air, "This is Sanguang Shenshui, which has been handed down from ancient times, and there are not many in modern times. That's all I have left in my hand."

"Sanguang Shenshui is known as the mother of all waters. It can reconcile all yin and yang. It is the most coveted holy item for blood magicians. With it, you can transform a person's blood. Dumbledore has been working hard to train successors. Seeing this He won't refuse any request you make, take it." Nicole Flamel put the box into Orlando's hands without any memory.

Orlando swallowed, Sanguang Shenshui, my God, isn't this something from a myth?He wanted to open it now and take a look.

"This thing can't contaminate the air. It must be taken immediately after opening. After a long time, the divine nature will evaporate, and it will lose its original characteristics." Nicole Flamel hurriedly added as if seeing his thoughts.

"Teacher, let's talk about another way. I'm a bit reluctant to trade such a good thing." Orlando pursed his lips. He felt that it would be better to keep it for Hermione than to exchange it for the phoenix blood.
