I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 23 Inheritance
A simple spell casting made Nicole Flamel feel listless. He retracted his wand, gasped heavily, and put his palms on the table, looking like he was about to fall down at any time.

Orlando didn't care about being rude, he hurriedly supported him, sat down slowly, and thoughtfully put a pillow to make the old man more comfortable.

"Teacher, what's the matter with you? Why is your body so weak?"

"It's old, it's useless! Little guy, do you regret it?" Nicole Flamel joked with a nonchalant smile.

"The teacher was joking. Being a teacher for one day and being a father for life is not a joke." Orlando said firmly.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, at the end of the day, it's worth my hard work to accept such a pure and filial child like you." Nicole Flamel patted Orlando's hand, and then took out a portable suitcase to him.

"Don't worry, I still have a few years to live. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. The books you usually need to study are here. This suitcase is also my proud alchemy work. It has followed me for hundreds of years. Dumbledore is here today, and the collection of books and notes inside will be passed on to you, and how much you can learn depends on your ability."

Dumbledore glanced enviously at the suitcase in Orlando's arms. At this time, Orlando was still a little confused. He didn't know how precious the suitcase Nico Flamel gave him was, but Dumbledore knew it. What a box, this is a mobile treasure trove of knowledge, a treasure trove that even Dumbledore would envy.

After finishing speaking, Nicole Flamel turned his head and said to Dumbledore: "Old man, let me borrow your place, and I will explain something to my apprentice, do you think it is okay?"

"No problem, you can do whatever you want. I will notify the kitchen to bring the dinner."

Dumbledore said something thoughtful, and then went out, closing the door behind him by the way.

Nicole Flamel said so much in one breath, a little breathless, Orlando hastily poured a cup of black tea and handed it over.

"Teacher, drink tea."

After drinking a cup of hot tea, Nicole Flamel took a long breath, and said with difficulty, "This visit is short, so please ask Dumbledore to keep the Sorcerer's Stone."

"Magic stone?"

"Yes, the Sorcerer's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone. It is said that it can turn stones into gold and make people immortal. This is true and false. Listen to Dumbledore, you are a medieval wizard." way?"

"Yes, teacher."

Nicole Flamel chuckled, and said nonchalantly, "People say I'm an alchemist, but an alchemist is also a wizard, so do you know what kind of magic path I take?"

Orlando had a flash of inspiration. "Is it the teacher too?"

"That's right, you must have already guessed the soul-attribute magician. There are so many people in the world, and there are amazingly talented wizards in every era. Why am I the only one who can live so long? This is the mystery."

After saying this, Nicole Flamel was a little tired and had to lean on the pillow. Orlando was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly added another one.

Waving his hand, Nicole Flamel signaled that it's okay, and then said: "It's a pity that no matter how powerful the soul magic is, I still can't bear the torment of the years. My life is approaching, and I planned to spend my whole life silently, but Dumbledore wrote Give me, tell me your situation, let me move the idea of ​​taking apprentices, this may be God's arrangement, so I came here."

Nicole Flamel looked at Orlando with more kind eyes, "You really didn't disappoint us, you are a good boy."

"Teacher, you praised me. I'm just a little smarter and harder than others."

"No, these are acquired factors, not the root of strength. What I value is your talent. Your innate soul is strong. Didn't you realize that you can learn any magic easily and quickly?"

The question posed by Nicole Flamel caused Orlando to fall into deep thought for a moment. In his previous life, he cultivated alchemy and entered the Tao.Taoist exercises most stress the harmony of spirit and mind, mind and qi, and qi and strength.

God is the power of the innate soul; Yi is the true knowledge of the self, that is, spiritual power; Qi is the true power of Taoism, which manifests as true Qi before the foundation is established, and manifests as mana after the foundation is established; power is "God", "Intention" and "Qi "The physical evolution of the power of the three.

In this way, the soul before time travel has been strengthened, and then merged with the soul of this life after rebirth. It can be said that the power of the soul in the sky is far beyond that of ordinary people.

Orlando nodded abruptly. He always thought that his photographic memory was due to his good memory and well-developed brain. He had never thought deeply about the reason behind it. Now that the teacher pointed it out, he suddenly realized it.

"Understood?" Nicole Flamel picked up his teacup and took a sip. "You think you can get into my eyes just because you are a little clever, haha, then you underestimate me, the most famous alchemist of our time." Nicole Flamel said with some pride. In front of him, he naturally showed his naughty side.

"Teacher, I think I understand, but I have already chosen lightning attribute magic, will this be correct?"

"Hehe, you, still haven't figured it out, can't magic wizards with soul attributes learn other magic? Then how did I become an alchemist? I don't have any means to save my life. Do you think I can preserve the Sorcerer's Stone for hundreds of years? Don't you think so? Do you think the old man and I can dismiss those people who snooped on the Philosopher's Stone just because of my fame?" Nicole Flamel said with a smile.

"You mean, Voldemort?"

"He's one of them!" Nicole Flamel said indifferently. In his eyes, Voldemort was just a wizard with powerful magic power, and he was not afraid of it.

Orlando gasped. Voldemort has been pursuing eternal life, so he did not hesitate to cut his own soul to make Horcruxes. In his most powerful period, he never had the idea of ​​the Sorcerer's Stone, which shows how powerful the teacher is.

But such a powerful person can't be equated with this weak little old man in front of him.

"Although the Sorcerer's Stone is powerful, it is not omnipotent. I originally planned to give it to Dumbledore for safekeeping, and he would destroy it after my death. Now that I have accepted you as an apprentice, I changed my mind. I want to wait until you are strong enough to be qualified When you have it, it might be good to give it to you. After all, this is my most proud work. I just destroy it. I can’t bear it. Of course, the premise is that you can control yourself not to be blinded by powerful forces. Possessing it otherwise can only bring you disaster."

After saying this, Nicole Flamel was a little tired, and his wrinkled face was full of fatigue.

It was rare to accept such an excellent apprentice, Nicole Flamel forced himself to cheer up, explained a few more words, and then taught him the spell of using this portable suitcase, and he was too tired to speak.

"Teacher, take a break. I'll send some food over." Orlando said with concern.

Nicole Flamel waved his hands, leaned back and put his head on the backrest of the sofa, closed his eyes and did not speak again.

Orlando took off his coat and gently put it on for the teacher, and then went out to the kitchen to make some ginseng nourishing soup.

Nicole Flamel half-closed his eyes and watched Orlando go out without saying a word. After talking for so long, he was really too tired. He was going to take a nap to refresh himself, but who knew he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, Dumbledore and Orlando were already sitting at the table, each reading a book.

"Old friend, are you awake?"

"Well, where is this? Oh. Dumbledore, I'm sorry, I'm getting old, and I fell asleep accidentally, and I don't know when I will fall asleep after falling asleep like this." He teased himself.

"Teacher, are you hungry? This is the black chicken soup I stewed for you. It's very nourishing. You should try it."

Orlando picked up a sand pot, took a bowl of soup with a wooden spoon, blew it lightly to make sure it wasn't hot, and served it to Nicole Flamel.

"It smells really good." Nicole Flamel said with a smile.

"Old friend, isn't the soup stewed by people who have lived for a hundred years delicious!" Dumbledore said enviously.

"Oh, Orlando, you have a heart." After finishing the soup in one go, Nicole Flamel didn't forget to sip his mouth, Lao Huai said happily.

"I should, teacher, try this black-bone chicken again, the gravy is delicious, oily but not greasy." Orlando filled another chicken leg and put it in the bowl.

"Good, good, good." Nicole Flamel said three times in succession.

After serving the teacher's meal, Orlando simply cleaned up the tableware and made another pot of tea.

Dumbledore and Nicole Flamel sat comfortably on the sofa, smoking their pipes.

"Old man, how is my new apprentice?" Orlando's filial piety made Nicole Flamel show off.

"Don't mention it, I'm starting to regret it. If I knew this, I should have taken him one step ahead and took him under my sect." Dumbledore said pretending to be remorseful.

"Hahaha, don't rob me, you have an apprentice from a college, and I'm the only one."

The two were chatting and laughing, and Orlando stood aside silently after making tea.When the teacher was asleep just now, Orlando quietly gave him a pulse. The situation is not optimistic. The teacher's body is decaying and his soul is decaying.

After leaving the principal's office, I was too tired today. The teacher decided to rest for a night before going back. Dumbledore arranged, so Orlando didn't need to worry about it.

On the way back, Orlando always felt a little dreamy. The introductory disciple of Master Nicole Flamel, this is something that many people dream of, but he has come across it. It’s too dreamy.

Back in the dormitory, sitting on the rattan chair, Orlando stroked the portable suitcase that the teacher gave him, and couldn't help feeling emotional.This is a gift from Mr. Nick to him after his apprenticeship, under the witness of Dumbledore, and it is also Nico Flamel's favorite alchemy work - the portable library.

Although the suitcase looks ordinary and inconspicuous on the outside, there is a space of no less than two hundred square meters inside, which is as big as a house. The space is filled with rows of wooden movable bookshelves, and the bookshelves are divided into categories. There are various classics collected by the teacher.

In addition, this suitcase is also a movable door key. Through this door key, Orlando can cross the space to enter Mr. Nick's hermit's hut at any time, which greatly facilitates Orlando's travels.

"Master, are you okay?" Capri asked cautiously.

"Ah, it's you, Capri, when did you come." Orlando came back to his senses.

"It's been a while, Master. Professor Snape said you're back, so I rushed over immediately."

After three days of rest, Capri's mental state improved a lot.On days when there is no work arrangement, it is extremely uncomfortable, but this is the master's order, and it cannot but obey.No, as soon as the order time came, it rushed to report immediately, hoping to have new tasks.

"Capri, I have a difficult task for you."

"Master, tell me." When he heard that it was a difficult task, Capri trembled with excitement.

"Help me collect a batch of medicinal materials. This is Gallon. I will write you the list. Remember that this batch of medicinal materials has to be obtained from different sellers in batches. Don't forget to get them from the same seller. There are also those I gave you. The contents of the list cannot be told to anyone? Do you understand?" Orlando said very seriously.

"Understood, master, Capri promises to complete the task."

Taking the quill, Orlando pondered for a while, then wrote a list of medicines and handed it to Capri.This is the pill formula for soul cultivation in the "Soul Soul Chapter" of "The True Explanation of the Way of Alchemy". He can feel that the teacher's soul power is collapsing. But if he doesn't do something, he always feels a little guilty in his heart.

"Go, Capri, collect them as soon as possible. If you really can't buy them, I'll find a way." This time, Orlando took out all his wealth, and he wanted to do something for the master.

Orlando has not yet realized that as Nicole Flamel's closed disciple, after the teacher's death, as the only heir, he will get a huge inheritance, which is the wealth accumulated by Nicole Flamel in the past 800 years , the wealth of a lifetime's greatest alchemist.

As a human being for two lifetimes, Orlando does not have too much extravagance for money. His greatest pleasure is to practice Taoism and live for Taoism.

"Master, Capri must complete the task." After speaking, he apparated and left.

Orlando sat for a while, then took a shower.At this time, Master Nick should still be at Hogwarts. It is a rare meeting with old friends. He must have a lot to say, so he didn't bother, but opened the lid of the portable mobile library, took out his wand and tapped the mouth of the box Casting the spell, a white light flashed, and a light door appeared at the mouth of the box, and then Orlando got in.

Through the narrow stairs, Orlando enters a room, which is a space constructed with magic and alchemy. This space is different from Orlando's bracelet magic weapon, which can only let dead things in but not living things. Of course, the magic weapon has automatic protection function, the portable mobile library can only collect books and be used as a door key.

Orlando was not in a hurry to find a book, but walked around the room. He roughly estimated that there were no less than [-] books in the collection, many of which were solitary, and their value was immeasurable. No wonder Principal Dumbledore heard about this After the news, they all showed envious expressions.
