I'm a priest at Hogwarts

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

"Teacher, you must have a way, right?" He looked at Nico Flamel expectantly.

"Now you know you are worried?" Nico Flamel did not immediately give a solution, but told what happened when he was young, "When I was young, I was just like you, ignorant, fearless, indifferent to 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 slovenly, with gray hair and a stooped body, but his eyes were unusually bright. He was a wandering doctor, the kind that was not recognized by the magical world. Just such an old man, walking in the slums of New Delhi, treating poor Muggles for free, day after day, year after year, looking for neither fame nor profit, just like a child."

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

"At that time, I was well-known in the magic world and gained some fame. Being arrogant and arrogant, I thought that this person was a swindler, maybe out of jealousy, for such a slovenly person. When a person walks on the street, thousands of people admire him, and it’s the kind of pure admiration that comes from the heart, which deeply hurts my heart.”

Speaking of this, Nico Flamel sneered.

"So I made up my mind to expose him. I followed him quietly, monitoring him and looking for clues. I thought I was very powerful and my magic level was high enough, but I didn't know that he discovered me at the beginning, but he didn't stop me. I didn't expose it. I spent ten days walking with him through the streets, watching him perform life magic to save one patient after another, no matter rich or poor, good or bad. He had three things that he couldn't cure, and he had many evils that he couldn't cure; his crimes were heinous. No treatment; no treatment after losing one's conscience. I was very surprised at that time, how he made the judgment, so when he once again rejected a high-ranking official, I jumped out and asked him, do you know what he said? "

Orlando was fascinated by what he heard and asked subconsciously: "How did you say that?"

"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 become black. Once the soul is black, it is not worth saving. I was shocked at the time. I thought he was talking about me, and I subconsciously wanted to kill someone. Silence."

Nico Flamel suddenly fell into memories and did not speak for a long time. Orlando did not dare to urge him. After a while, he continued: "In that chaotic era, wizards were not tolerated by the world, and soul magic was no longer tolerated. It is taboo, not only hated by Muggles, but also resisted by the wizarding world. When I pulled out the wand and pointed it at him, he was neither afraid nor resisting, but looked at me steadily. Those bright and clear eyes are still unforgettable to me. .”

"Although I was reckless and arrogant at that time, fortunately I wasn't too bad. I pointed my wand at him but didn't make any move. But when I was confused and at a loss what to do, he smiled, with a clean and pure smile. With a hint of relief, he said, I can cure you. I was stunned, I came here to cause trouble, not to see a doctor, and besides, I'm not sick either."

Saying this, Nico Flamel smiled, laughing at his childish behavior at the time.

He said: "You are sick, and your illness is not serious. There is still hope for you now. But if one day you can kill a stranger without any scruples, there will be no hope for you."

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

Nico Flamel's eyes were deep, looking at Orlando as if he had seen himself that day. His eyes were moist and he could no longer hold back the tears.

"I stayed with him for a year, practicing medicine and dispensing medicine with him. This is what I promised him, and I will do it. Until one day, he suddenly told me that the time has come. I was very happy, thinking that I didn't have to wait for him at last. This is an old man."

"We walked for a day and a night, walking by foot without using magic, through the city and through the jungle. He was in great spirits, stopping and admiring the beautiful scenery along the way. His eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance. He didn't say anything and I didn't He didn’t dare to ask more questions until we walked into the mountains and stopped in front of a century-old cedar tree. He said it was a good place with beautiful scenery, and then pointed to the tree and told me to bury him here.”

At this point, Nicolas Flamel had already burst into tears and was choked with tears. Orlando seemed to have guessed something, but didn't know how to speak.

"We have been together day and night for a year, and 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 wanted to kill me, so he scolded me regardless. He didn't get angry at all, he just leaned against the cedar tree and stared at the sunset until the sun went down."

Nico Flamel wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, and Orlando duly handed him a glass of water, which he took but did not drink.

"He looked at it with such concentration and seriousness, as if he wanted to carve this scene of heaven and earth into his heart. I can deeply feel his desire for life and his memory of the world."

"It's time to fulfill my promise, he looked at me and said. Then, a flame spurted out and rushed into my body. This was the fire of sacrifice, the flame he lit with the power of life. It not only swept away my soul The dust in it also gave me his lifelong magic experience. Until he passed away, I didn’t know his real name. The people who benefited from him called him a sage.”

"A wise man saves all sentient beings, is not afraid of life and death, and is willing to sacrifice himself for others. If he can do these three things, the old man deserves this title." Orlando praised.

"Yes, I was deeply touched at that time. Self-blame, regret, and shame came to my heart, which made me doubt my life for a time. After I buried him, I built a hut next to the cedar wood and lived there for three years. When I practiced hard, I stayed with the mountains and rivers. I looked at the mountains, the water, the flowers, birds, insects, fish, and the wind and the earth every day. I was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Gradually, I realized a different magical world, and finally opened up the sea of ​​souls. .”

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

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

It may be that the secret has been hidden in the heart for too long and the emotions cannot be released. Once released, the indelible pain will make people miserable, which is what Nico Flamel was like at this time.

"Let's talk about this later. Let's solve your problem first." Nico Flamel collected his thoughts, suppressed his emotions and continued: "You have two choices now. One is to find a copy of Phoenix Essence and Blood. Phoenix Tears can heal All kinds of injuries are ineffective on the soul. Only Phoenix essence and blood can have this effect. Phoenix essence and blood is very precious. It takes a hundred years to condense a drop. It is difficult for ordinary people to get it, but I know that there is one person who must have it."

"Dumbledore?"

"Yes, Albus's family has been passed down for thousands of years, and generations of people have been accompanied by phoenixes. They must have collected some, but if you ask him for nothing, he may not give it, so I have prepared something for you." Nico · Le May opened his palm and saw a metal box the size of a palm. The box was engraved with complex magic words and exuded a hint of coolness. "This is the Three Light Divine Water. It was handed down from ancient times. In modern times, there are not many of it anymore." This is the only one I have left."

"Three Light Divine Water is known as the mother of all waters. It can reconcile all yin and yang. It is the most coveted holy object of blood magicians. With it, it can transform a person's qualifications and bloodline. Dumbledore has been working hard to train his successor. When he saw this He will not refuse any request you make, take it." Nico Flamel put the box into Orlando's hands without any hesitation.

Orlando swallowed. Three Light Divine Water, my God, isn't this something from mythology?He wanted to open it now and take a look.

"This thing cannot be contaminated with air. It must be taken immediately after opening. Over time, the divinity will evaporate and it will lose its original characteristics." Nico Flamel hurriedly added as if he had seen his thoughts.

"Teacher, let's talk about another way. I'm a little reluctant to trade such a good thing." Orlando pursed his lips. He felt that instead of exchanging this for Phoenix essence and blood, it would be better to leave it to Hermione.
