Chapter 58 What does Dumbledore know about alchemy? (Ch 58)

“Did Dumbledore show you the Philosopher’s Stone?” Nicolas Flamel asked again.

“I’ve seen it. He even asked me to forge it.” Kaisen nodded.

“You forged it? Was it that person?”

“Yeah… Do you want to hear his name? If you don’t want to hear it, I won’t tell you.”

“You don’t have to tell me, I know who he is. How did you forge him?” Nicolas Flamel was obviously more concerned about this issue.

Kaisen reached out and pulled out a piece of red stone: “Use this thing.”

Nicolas Flamel took the red stone in his hand, weighed it carefully, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s just an energy cube. If you can make a Philosopher’s Stone as easily as you can make gold, I really should find a rope to strangle myself.”

“But actually, this thing is quite similar. You have made the Philosopher’s Stone so you can tell the difference between the two, but others may not be able to. Anyway, it is very useful for fishing.” Kaisen explained.

“Did Dumbledore tell you what he was going to do with the Philosopher’s Stone?” Nicolas Flamel asked again.

“He didn’t say, and I didn’t ask.”

“When Dumbledore has used up the real Philosopher’s Stone, you can take it from him.”

“That’s the Philosopher’s Stone. Why does it sound like cabbage to you?”

“Does Dumbledore understand alchemy? The Philosopher’s Stone cannot play its true value in his hands.”

“Besides, he has never valued such material things. I can see from his letter that he cares about you very much. Believe me, he will.”

Kaisen deeply agreed with the first sentence.

Dumbledore knows nothing about alchemy, and the second sentence feels a bit strange.

He did not doubt Dumbledore’s disregard for so-called material possessions.

But for someone like him, his robe is more expensive than anyone else’s, his chair is softer than anyone else’s, and even his half-moon glasses are made of mithril and pure crystal. He even withholds the salary of new professors at the beginning of the school year.

With this kind of personality, he would not let you take anything for free, and might even ask you to do some work that exceeds the standard.

The last time I stole two bottles of his wine, I had a fight with the dark wizard in the Forbidden Forest. This time, I may not have to pay any price to take the Philosopher’s Stone from him.

“Believe me, you will need a Philosopher’s Stone very much in the future. Even if it breaks into powder in your hands, it has played the value it should have. It is better than putting it in an exquisite box, or simply making some immortality potions or playing some tricks to turn stones into gold.” Nicolas Flamel explained patiently.

“I will… I will convince Dumbledore. After all, an alchemy master like you thinks highly of me, so I should do my best to do better.” Kaisen nodded.

“How are you going to fight for your reputation?”

“If Dumbledore doesn’t agree to give me the Philosopher’s Stone for free, I’ll have to put him in a sack while he sleeps.” Kaisen said after a long breath.

“Uh… honestly, this is not necessary, really.” Nicolas Flamel added.

“…………………..” After a long silence, Kaisen nodded: “I will keep your words in mind.”

“That would be best… Although I know it will go in one ear and out the other. All of you talented people are like this. Dumbledore was like this when he was young, and that… Let’s not talk about it anymore.”

Nicolas Flamel was halfway through his speech when, perhaps he forgot or perhaps he didn’t want to say it anymore, he just walked away with his hands behind his back.

“I hope my temper won’t be so weird in the future… maybe I learned that from studying alchemy.” Kaisen complained without any malice as he watched the old man walk away.

The dinner ended quickly. After all, there weren’t many young people in the venue. Except for Kaisen, the youngest one was 33 years old. Of course, they couldn’t have a carnival party that lasted until late at night.

Everyone simply drank some drinks at the venue, and if they were hungry they might have a couple of small cakes or snacks, and then the entire venue was dispersed.

Kaisen followed the staff in front of him to the suite prepared for him by the French Ministry of Magic. At first glance, it was truly magnificent and had the feel of a Muggle star hotel.

I took a quick shower in the room and almost fell asleep in the bathtub.

I stumbled back to bed and lost consciousness in the blink of an eye.

He was really sleepy.

The next day he was awakened by breakfast.

Originally, Kaisen was a little grumpy when he woke up. Although he didn’t say anything bad to anyone, he was unlikely to show a good face to the staff who came to deliver breakfast.

Until the staff brought an authentic French breakfast.

Seriously, by comparison, the dry bread at Hogwarts in the morning is most likely super-hard bacon carved from red stone, and the fried eggs have no taste and seem to be mixed with water.

“…Is your French magic school short of an alchemy professor?” Kaisen looked seriously at the French Ministry of Magic employee in front of him.

“If you really have this intention, I believe that Beauxbatons will welcome you with a warm smile even if they send their current alchemy professor to take care of Pegasus. Do you need me to convey your intention to them?”

The Ministry of Magic employee took out parchment and a quill and was about to lie on the door frame and write the letter on the spot.

“Ah, that’s not necessary, sir. Really, I just want to express my admiration for the French cuisine.” Kaisen quickly stopped the sincere gentleman in front of him.

It was only then that the employee of the Ministry of Magic remembered that the Professor Kaisen in front of him was English, and he immediately looked at him with pity.

After thinking about it, he took another plate of breakfast from the dining car and handed it over.

“Thank you, generous sir, and may Merlin bless you!”

Kaisen stood at the door holding two breakfasts and watched the Breakfast Man go away before returning to the suite and starting to enjoy his own breakfast.

After enjoying breakfast, he had to rush downstairs. To be honest, it was not easy for all members of the Alchemy Association to gather together this time, so these alchemy masters came up with an activity on the spur of the moment, such as… a team building in the French Muggle world.

Kaisen gladly accepted this. Since he was already here, he might as well buy some souvenirs for the students.

Just as he expressed this idea and asked where Gringotts was in France, he learned that the team-building association had paid for the event and had converted a large amount of gold Galleons into francs.

“Well… in this case, I can bring gifts from the professors as well.”
