Chapter 539: Chapter 537: Dumbledore’s Request
Kael indeed had a small bottle of ashes left after the Phoenix Nirvana, which was given to him by Fawkes when he was in his third year.
It’s just that those belong to the most advanced materials, and before accumulating enough experience, he certainly won’t use them, so that bottle of ashes has always been placed at the bottom of the box.
"May I ask why?" Kael was a bit curious, then added, "Of course, if it’s confidential, forget I asked."
"Oh, it’s understandable. After all, they all belong to you."
Nicolas glanced at Dumbledore, and after getting a sure answer, he continued, "Do you rember the Ti Turner in the Chamber of Secrets?"
"Of course." Kael nodded.
It was because of that Ti Turner that he t the four founders of Hogwarts, so he wouldn’t forget.
"That’s right, I’ve fixed it." Nicolas said calmly, speaking shocking words like a thunderclap.
"The Ti Turner is fixed?" Kael instinctively looked at Dumbledore.
He’d never seen this version of Dumbledore before; the once wise blue eyes were now filled with undisguisable anticipation and fear.
"Originally, it shouldn’t have been so fast, but I got so crucial help... and it’s all thanks to you, Kael."
Nicolas blinked and said, "But we’re still missing the last and most important component, the core that provides Magic Power to the Ti Turner.
The huge amount of magic required to go back a hundred years is unasurable, and no existing Magic Text Talisman can solve this problem."
"Not even a Stacking Talisman?" Kael instinctively asked.
"No." Nicolas shook his head, "Stacking a sufficient number of Magic Enhancent Talismans can indeed et the start-up requirents, but the subsequent magic supply can’t keep up.
"In this way, the Ti Turner will probably...no, it will definitely break again, trapping the user inside forever, maybe in the fiftieth year, maybe in the seventieth year, unable to reach the predetermined ti, and unable to return."
Kael nodded, knowing that the user Nicolas ntioned was Dumbledore, and the hundred-year review was also prepared for him.
If only being trapped in the past, Dumbledore might not even care, but unable to reach the predetermined ti...
Wait a minute.
Kael suddenly thought, if Dumbledore were thrown back sixty years, what would happen... and would Grindelwald recognize him at that ti...
Thinking this, Kael couldn’t help but twitch his mouth but quickly restrained himself.
At this ti, Nicolas didn’t notice Kael’s strange behavior and continued, "So I thought of another thod: the Philosopher’s Stone!
"Only the Philosopher’s Stone can provide endless massive Magic Power to the Ti Turner."
"But wasn’t the Philosopher’s Stone destroyed?" Kael asked, coming back to his senses.
"That’s right." Nicolas smiled, "But have you ever wondered, why couldn’t I make it again from six hundred years ago?
"To be honest, the process of making the Philosopher’s Stone isn’t difficult for , but the materials needed are hard to find, and the ashes left after the Phoenix Nirvana are the most important part of the Philosopher’s Stone."
Kael understood, in simple terms, once these ashes are lent out, they will never return.
Of course, if in the end, a Philosopher’s Stone could be exchanged, he wouldn’t hesitate, but the problem is, can he really get the Philosopher’s Stone?
From previous experiences, when he returned to the correct ti in the Chamber of Secrets, the Ti Turner was broken without a trace, and the only shell shattered into pieces.
Although last ti was a thousand years, this ti it’s only a hundred years, yet what if.... After all, no one knows if this thing is a disposable product.
Alright, this ti not only is the Diadem not obtained, but he also has to give away another good thing?
But Kael couldn’t understand one thing, Nicolas lived for over six hundred years, with so many good collections, wasn’t there any Nirvana Ashes? It shouldn’t be.
Kael thought so and asked.
"There was before."
Nicolas sighed, "But at that ti, I didn’t think I’d have to make a second Philosopher’s Stone, so I used it all elsewhere... just on the Dragon statue at my doorstep, which is also my proudest work in nearly a hundred years."
"And making the Philosopher’s Stone must use the ashes left from a Phoenix naturally undergoing Nirvana." Dumbledore added from the side, "The cleverly obtained ones can’t serve any use."
"Alright." Kael nodded.
So Nicolas and Dumbledore ca for the ashes in his hands today, huh.
If I’d known, I should’ve stayed in Hogsade a little longer, or even spent the night there...
Although thinking so, Kael still opened his box and took out a tightly sealed bottle.
The bottle was only the size of a thumb, the mouth sealed with a cork, and an extra layer of wax.
Inside was half a bottle of gray-black powder, and when the bottle was shaken, one could see spots of golden red light, like stars shining in the night, too beautiful to look away.
"This is all I have, do you need it all?" Kael asked.
He really hoped Nicolas could leave him so, even if just a pinch.
But unfortunately, these were not even enough.
"Although a bit short, it’s barely enough." Nicolas’s words shattered Kael’s last bit of hope.
Seeing Kael’s reluctant face, Dumbledore, sowhat embarrassed, said, "I know, this might be a difficult decision for you.
"In fact, I initially wanted to ask Professor Snape, but the ashes he took have already been used, and before Fawkes’s next Nirvana, there’s only yours left."
Snape used the ashes so quickly.
Kael truly hadn’t expected that.
Logically, such a precious thing should be carefully preserved, kept for decades, then passed on to Conna as a family heirloom, and then...
Ahem, in any case, Snape’s behavior is simply a waste of a precious resource!
"Shaful waste." Kael thought to himself.
But it’s too late to say anything now.
Looking at Dumbledore’s hopeful, even pleading face, and the pair of blue and white wool socks on the office bookshelf that he placed, Kael finally sighed and handed over the bottle.
"I’m entrusting this to you, Professor."
Dumbledore imdiately ca forward and carefully took it, gently as if handling a cup of water.
"I’ve discussed it with Nicolas."
After storing the bottle in a padded wooden box, he said, "We unanimously agreed that if the Philosopher’s Stone isn’t damaged after use, then it’s yours.
If it’s damaged... I can grant you a condition, any condition, even if it ans transferring my personal Vault in Gringotts to you."
Kael waved his hand, "That’s not necessary, Professor Dumbledore."
He didn’t quite understand what happened recently. A few days ago, Sirius insisted on giving him a nearly ten thousand Galleon store, and now Dumbledore wants to give him a vault.
It seems a bit exaggerated.
Of course, if possible, he’d still rather want the Philosopher’s Stone.
