Will quickly recounted the story of Nicolas Flamel: “Nicolas Flamel, a legendary Alchemist, born in the 14th century, but still alive today. He is incredibly talented, possessing world-class Alchemy; he graduated from Beauxbatons and is also a special Professor there. He is a good friend of Professor Dumbledore, and together they have made many great contributions to Alchemy. Some say he is the greatest Alchemist in history because he created the Philosopher’s Stone.”
The few young Wizards looked incredulous and couldn’t help but ask questions.
“Oh my, the 14th century, how is that possible?”
“Is he immortal?”
“What is the Philosopher’s Stone?”
The few of them spoke one after another, unable to hide their shock.
“All your questions can be answered by the Philosopher’s Stone. The Philosopher’s Stone is a magical substance with astonishing properties. Ancient Alchemy involved the creation of the Philosopher’s Stone, which is a magical substance with astonishing properties. The Philosopher’s Stone can turn any metal into pure gold and can also create the Elixir of Life, which makes anyone who drinks it immortal. For centuries, there have been many reports about the Philosopher’s Stone, but currently, the only existing Philosopher’s Stone belongs to Nicolas Flamel. These matters are all recorded in ‘Masterpieces of Ancient Alchemy.'”
However, Will knew that one needed to continuously drink the Elixir of Life to gain immortality, and if one stopped taking it, they would eventually die.
But when that book was written, Nicolas Flamel and his wife were both alive and well, which led most of the Wizarding world to believe that drinking the Elixir of Life would grant eternal life.
“Oh my, a stone that can make gold!” Ron’s tone was full of envy.
“And it can make you immortal too,” Harry added.
“No wonder Snape wants to…” Ron had only said half a sentence when he suddenly realized his slip of the tongue and clapped a hand over his mouth.
“He… ah, nothing, he confiscated my book.” Harry was about to explain when he suddenly felt Ron nudge him in the back.
Neville and Hermione looked at Ron and Harry, and saw Ron winking at them.
Their small actions were completely observed by Will, but he didn’t pay attention.
Instead, he pulled Sylvia along: “If you don’t have anything else, we’ll leave first. Let’s go, Sylvia, aren’t you hungry? It’ll be too late for dinner if we wait.”
Sylvia was about to say she had already eaten, but then Will pressed her arm.
She immediately reacted and changed her words: “Yes, I’m starving, let’s go quickly, Will.”
As the two left, Harry asked Ron in confusion: “Why didn’t you let me tell Will? Ron, he’s not like the other Slytherins, and if it weren’t for Will, we wouldn’t even know who Nicolas Flamel is, let alone that Snape’s target is the Philosopher’s Stone.”
“Harry, they’re Slytherins! If they know Snape is going to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, Snape might find out. Oh my, just think about it, think about what Snape said in class the other day: ‘Oh, Pot~ter! Weasley, if you two keep making up stories about Professors in class, I’ll let you taste Veritaserum.’ What if he gives Veritaserum to Behrens and that Lestrange?”
This time, the others thought Ron had a point.
Only Hermione frowned, feeling that Will’s reaction just now wasn’t quite right.
Both of them smelled of smoke, and Sylvia had said that she and Will sometimes had dates by the lake, grilling fish.
Was she really hungry?
“They don’t want us to know, so why bother? Besides, I’m not interested in other people’s secrets.”
Sylvia completely believed Will’s explanation.
He wasn’t someone keen on other people’s private matters.
In fact, she had already discovered that Will was quite a person who disliked trouble; he most enjoyed reading leisurely.
“Do you want to go sit in the Room of Requirement? I had the Room of Requirement create a very comfortable reading room.”
“Of course!” Sylvia walked ahead of Will with a grin, completely unaware of Will’s change in expression.
Why didn’t Will want to know their “secret”?
He naturally had his own considerations.
In this matter of Professor Dumbledore constantly focusing on training the Savior, should he know too much?
Should he participate too much?
He was already noticed by Dumbledore.
If he became deeply entangled in the Savior training plan, it wouldn’t do him any good.
With the experience panel, what Will needed was development time, not getting involved in a bunch of things that offered no benefits…
