Chapter 369 Nick Flamel
The sleeping phoenix parked on the olive branch opened its eyes, waving its beautiful wings and flew to Dumbledore's shoulders. It let out a low song like a song, and its whole body was ignited with scorching flames.
The flames soon extended to Dumbledore's body, and he almost turned into a burning man, but Dumbledore's face remained calm and calm, without any pain, and his robe was intact.
The next moment, the flames expanded, then suddenly collapsed and disappeared. Dumbledore and Phoenix also disappeared into the principal's office.
When the flames that obscured his vision disappeared, Dumbledore had arrived in a remote suburb, where there was nothing but dirt, gravel, grass and shrubs.
Dumbledore looked around, determined the direction, and walked towards the empty grassland beside him.
Vaguely, he felt something hindering his movement. After taking a few steps forward, the surrounding space suddenly changed, and a vast courtyard appeared in front of him.
In the center of the courtyard is a strange, seemingly living house. Several eye-like windows looked at Dumbledore's body, shaking his huge body from time to time. Thick white smoke continued to rise from the chimney, making it look full of vitality.
After Dumbledore approached, a square passage appeared directly in front, with jagged spikes on both sides of the passage.
But the weird big courtyard opened its big mouth so that the white-bearded old wizard in front of it could enter its body.
This was not the first time for Dumbledore to come here. He walked in without fear and felt a vague sense of heat coming to his face. The strong flames next to him were burning brightly in the stove. The rising heat warmed the interior of the house. of
The right side of the entire hall is filled with bookshelves, densely packed with a large number of books, and some parchments with symbols or patterns scattered messily on the ground.
A group of small, chirping alchemy creatures came to his feet at some point. Dumbledore had to carefully confirm where to put his feet when walking to avoid stepping on them.
"Albus? Why are you suddenly free to see me?"
At this time, an old voice sounded.
Dumbledore turned his head and looked over. It was Nick Flamel who came out of the back room.
Compared to the last time they met, Dumbledore was keenly aware that Nick's condition was much worse.
The wrinkled face was so pale that almost no trace of blood could be seen, and the thin body made people worry about whether it would be blown down by the wind. Only a pair of bright and intelligent eyes were still dazzling.
"Long time no see, Nick!" Dumbledore said aloud.
"Yeah, it should be more than a year, right?" Nick waved his hand to drive away the alchemy creatures gathered around Dumbledore's feet, and then said jokingly.
"I think it's nothing important, and you might not think of coming to me, so we'd better go inside and talk!"
"As you know, my work has always been busy and I have to deal with some naughty children. Of course, sometimes there are also some annoying things outside of work that I need to deal with."
Dumbledore was surprisingly thick-skinned, and his expression did not change at all under Nick's teasing. He said casually and walked towards the back room.
After entering the back room, Dumbledore was surprised to find that the place was very different from the last time he came here. It looked more like a Muggle living room.
TVs, refrigerators, ovens and other household appliances are all available, but they appear to have been enchanted. Dumbledore can easily feel that these are alchemy props.
"Surprised?" Nick Flamel smiled when he saw the shocked expression on Dumbledore's face.
"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded.
Nick Flamel said with emotion.
"These Muggle-made things are very interesting and always bring me a lot of inspiration.
It seems that there are some benefits to living longer, especially in the past hundred years, the world has suddenly become more interesting and not as monotonous as before."
Having said this, Nick LeMay is a little regretful that he can no longer see a more distant future.
"By the way, Albus, did you come to me this time because of that person's affairs?" Nick Flamel quickly calmed down and asked about the business.
"No! Voldemort has been quite peaceful recently. I don't know where he is hiding, and no news has come." Dumbledore shook his head, then placed a damaged time turner on the table and said again.
"Is there any way you can fix it?"
Nick Flamel took a few glances, noticed the fine cracks on the time turner, and said in surprise.
"It's so completely damaged! How on earth did you do it?"
"I happen to want to know too." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows.
"Well, let me take a good look!" Nick Flamel picked up the time turner, turned it over and looked at it carefully.
Although he didn't use tools to detect it, Nick Lemay was able to roughly confirm the status of this thing based on his experience.
"The specific cause of the damage is that the frequency and intensity of use exceeded the limit that it could withstand," Nick Flamel said, and pressed his wand against the time turner to cast an unknown spell.
The golden hourglass turned over, and the fine sand slowly flowed down. Nearly one-third of the dust and sand passed before it stopped. After a long time, the hourglass turned upside down again and returned to its original state.
"It seems that the user used it to go back three months ago and stayed there for a long time." Nick said with certainty. When he was about to continue the analysis, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, because the golden hourglass once again Moved.
"How can this be?!"
"What's wrong? Nick?" Dumbledore asked strangely.
"No wonder it was so completely damaged." Nick Flamel muttered to himself before explaining.
Because the power of time is so amazing, in order to prevent the holder of the time turner from having any accidents during use, the time turner is equipped with a protection mechanism.
The safe time limit is five hours. Once this time limit is exceeded, this thing will become unstable and it is easy to trigger the protection mechanism and send the user back to the original time and space.
Generally speaking, the longer the backtracking time, the more unstable the time converter will be, making it difficult to stay on for a long time.
However, this holder was stranded for as long as two months!
Nick Flamel didn't know how the other party did this. The only thing that was certain was that the time turner should have been damaged after that.
But the holder used a certain method to allow the time turner to continue working intensively, draining out the last trace of its magic power.
"Albus, can you tell me who the previous holder of this time turner was?" Nick Flamel looked at Dumbledore with great interest and asked.
