When the Thestral carriage finally stopped, Connor was stunned. She looked at the manor in front of her and wondered if this was another Hogwarts.

After all, who can put two dozens-foot-tall fire dragons at the door... Even the gate of Hogwarts is just a warthog with wings.

Kyle understood Connor's feelings very well. After all, he was the same when he first came, but now he has gotten used to it.

"Please follow Tata closely... Mr. Buzz has been a little irritable lately." The house-elf Tata was still responsible for leading them.

"Mr. Buzz?" Kanna was a little confused.

Isn't this Nicolas Flamel's manor? Who is this person who suddenly appeared? He is also a guest here like them, but this name is a bit too strange.

"Oh, that's it. You must be careful..." The elf Tata pointed in the direction of the garden.

Kanna looked over curiously, but she didn't see anyone there, or rather, there were only three of them in this huge manor.

"He is Mr. Buzz." The elf pointed to the lawn again.

This time Kanna finally realized that he was referring to a lawn mower that was running around in the middle of the lawn like a crup, and every time the lawn mower moved, it made a loud buzzing sound.

In addition, there was a kettle that could water the flowers by itself, gloves that picked up fallen leaves... a long-handled brush bent itself into an amazing arc, trotted all the way to the carriage they were riding in, and took the initiative to help brush the carriage.

"It's incredible." Connor whispered.

Although she had heard Kyle talk about the situation here on the road, it was only hearsay after all. She was still shocked after seeing it with her own eyes.

Now Connor became even more curious about Nicolas Flamel.

Several people walked into the house of the manor.

"Oh, you're finally here." Nico was lying on a folding chair, still wearing his eye-catching floral shirt, and waved at them with a smile, "Take off those heavy cloaks quickly, don't you feel hot?"

Hearing what he said, Kyle really got a little hot.

He looked up at the ceiling. The sky was clear, completely different from the gloomy sky outside. There was also a salty breeze blowing from time to time.

"Where is this?" Kyle asked.

"Hawaii, you know, the weather in the UK is not very friendly to people of my age." He knocked on the table next to him. A coconut tree rose from the ground, and its broad leaves just blocked the sunlight above his head.

"What's going on?" Kanna asked confusedly. She felt like she didn't quite understand what the two were saying.

"The ceiling." Kyle pointed. "The ceiling of the Hogwarts Great Hall can reflect the weather outside. This one is even more magical. It can show any place."

Kyle took out his magic wand and tapped Kanna's clothes, and the original thick robe immediately turned into a summer style.

Connor seemed to have not come to her senses yet, until Kyle brought her closer, she suddenly saw Nico's appearance clearly.

"You are... the old wizard from Beauxbatons!" Connor stopped and looked at Nico.

"Yes, it's me." Nico said with a smile: "What a fate, we meet again."

"Thank you, sir. I wanted to thank you, but you disappeared as soon as I turned around." Connor said excitedly. She shook Kyle's arm. "It was he who brought me back to Hogwarts."

"That's not hard to guess," Kyle said. "There are many old wizards, but it's not so common for them to break bones with just a slight touch."

"Kyle, your words are too hurtful." Nico said dissatisfiedly: "It's obvious that you are too strong."

Kyle shrugged. "If you think so, then so be it."

"Wait..." Connor suddenly realized something. "You knew that the person who helped me was Mr. Nicolas Flamel, but you never told me?"

Kyle's eyes looked a little vague.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, Nico beside him helped to change the subject in time and said, "Just call me Nico, no need to be so formal. I remember when I met you, you said that you had just finished the assessment of the Extraordinary Pharmacist Association, right?"

"Yes sir...um, I mean, Nico." Kanna was still a little uncomfortable calling Nico by his name.

"In that case... Tata."

The elf ran over immediately.

"Take Connor to my library." Nico said, looking at Connor, "I remember that Zygmunt Budge once gave me a potion book he wrote himself. You might be very interested in it."

"Zygmunt Budge?" Connor couldn't help but raise her voice. "Is he the potion master who invented the Felicis?"

"He invented many different potions, but people seem to only remember the Luck Potion." Nico said, "I remember he left a manuscript with me, but it's been so long that I forgot where I put it. You can ask Tata to help find it."

When Connor heard that there was a manuscript of the Felixir, she immediately forgot that Kyle had deliberately concealed Nico's identity, and couldn't wait to follow Tata to the private library in the manor.

"Thank you." Kyle breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a piece of cake." Nico said with a smile.

Kyle walked over and sat down next to him, and asked curiously, "Nico, do you really have Zygmunt Bach's manuscript?"

"Of course, I also helped him with ideas when he was researching the luck potion." Nico said, "It was me who suggested adding three-month-old unicorn blood to it, which just helped him solve the problem of the potion not being able to cool down."

Kyle smacked his lips. Only then did he remember that the ancient potion used to soak the Horcruxes was made by Nico, which showed that he must be proficient in potions as well.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that for a wizard who has lived for more than 600 years, there is almost nothing he doesn't know.

It’s just that Nico’s achievements in alchemy are so great that people often subconsciously ignore his other abilities.

Kyle followed his example and lay down on the chair.

To be honest, Nico knows how to enjoy life. It is really comfortable to be warm.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Nico sat on a folding chair and said leisurely, "The Horcruxes you sent have been dealt with. You can take them away at any time."

"You've finished your research?" Kyle said, not surprised.

When he met Dumbledore, he had already guessed that Nico invited him here probably because of the Horcrux.

"Why do you say that?" Nico asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Isn't this obvious?" Kyle turned his head and glanced at him. "If it's just dealing with a few Horcruxes, would it take so long?"

Kyle gave Nico a total of three Horcruxes. In addition to the initial crown, the remaining gold cup and locket have been here for almost two years.

With Nicolas Flamel's ability, would it take so long to deal with the soul fragments on the Horcrux... Definitely not.

"I am indeed very curious about them, or rather, every alchemist cannot resist their temptation." Nico did not deny it, but sighed: "I have to say, the wisdom of the four giants is indeed unattainable... Come with me."

Nico stood up and took small steps to the nearest door.

He pushed open the door and saw a huge laboratory inside, almost as big as the Hogwarts Great Hall. All kinds of strange props were placed everywhere, and there was a huge crystal ball almost five feet high on the table in the middle.

The gold cup and the locket were placed on a shelf against the wall, and Kyle saw them at a glance.

"Wait a moment." Nico put his hand on a decorative pillar next to the door.

As he gently turned the pillar, the entire room began to turn.

Soon, the shelf they were facing appeared next to them.

When the cup was found in the Gringotts vault, it was so dull that it looked like it was covered with a layer of dust that could not be wiped off. Even if it was placed in a second-hand shop, no one would probably take a second look at it. But now, even in a dim room, it is still shining and dazzling.

There is also a pendant box with a little snake made of gemstones on it. The color is no longer monotonous, but flickers in light and dark, looking lifelike.

"I tried to replicate these two things, but failed every time." Nico said, "I have to admit that the Big Four is indeed unattainable."

"Even the Golden Cup failed?" Kyle was stunned for a moment, "I remember you said that the Golden Cup can only produce fine wine continuously? This doesn't seem to be difficult."

He had made a similar feather pen before, which could automatically refill ink. Although it was definitely much simpler than the Golden Cup, at least the principle was the same.

Even he can do it, let alone Nicolas Flamel.

"No." Nico shook his head. "Although I can make a similar wine glass, I can't guarantee that the magic runes on it will remain unchanged after being eroded by the Horcrux."

A Horcrux would change the nature of an object, and Kyle naturally knew this.

In other words, Voldemort had high standards. If he had randomly chosen a shorthand quill as a Horcrux, the magical effect would have disappeared when the soul fragments were removed, and it would have become an ordinary quill.

But then again, if the Horcrux is really a shorthand quill, it seems that there is no need to go through so much trouble, and there are simpler ways to solve the problem.

"Of course." Nico continued, "It's not impossible if I spend more time, but I don't think it's necessary. I'm just following the instructions. Even if I can replicate it, it won't prove anything."

He waved his hand, and the golden cup and locket immediately floated into Kyle's hands.

"Now, the property is returned to its original owner."

"Thank you." Kyle looked at the things in his hand, hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Nico, do you think they will carry the memories of Slytherin and Hufflepuff like the crown?"

"I thought so, but I didn't." Nico shook his head. "The crown can carry part of Rowena Ravenclaw's memory. In addition to its own specialness, there must be special magic to assist. And this magic is very complicated. It is very likely that only Rowena herself can do it."

"As for their functions..." Nico continued, "I should have told you before that the locket can store extra magic power... and the golden cup can produce fine wine endlessly. The facts are just as I said."

“Of course, this is only their main function. As for their other abilities, it’s up to you to discover them.

"I have to say, it's been a lot of fun and if I told you everything, you'd miss out on a lot of the fun."

Kyle shrugged and said nothing.

Although this is true, the prerequisite is that there must be sufficient time, and one more thing is that he must be on guard against a certain principal.

Just like Nico said just now, no alchemist can resist their temptation.

Dumbledore happened to be an alchemist, and he was also the headmaster of Hogwarts, so he had good reasons to take the things away.

He might have been embarrassed to do so before, or he might not have wanted to rob openly, but now... To be honest, Kyle couldn't guarantee that he would still maintain the dignity of a principal in front of him.

Afterwards, Nico took Kyle to visit his laboratory, and Kyle took the opportunity to ask about some difficulties he encountered in alchemy.

It was already evening when the two left the room.

It was a rare occasion for guests to come, so Tata prepared a sumptuous dinner. Kanna sat beside the table, holding a thick book and a stack of yellowed parchment in her hands, and was reading them intently.

Next to Connor was Nico's wife, Perenelle, a witch who was also over six hundred years old.

"You may put them aside, my dear," said Perenelle tenderly. "They are yours now. They are our Christmas present to you. You may look at them whenever you like."

"Sorry." Kanna was a little embarrassed, "I was too engrossed in watching it."

"That's understandable," Perenelle said with a smile. "I heard from Nicol that little Kyle was like this in the past, sitting in the library for days. You two are really a perfect match."

Kanna never expected her to say that, and her face turned red.

Just at this time, Kyle and Nico also came over.

"Perenal..." Nico looked at the two people at the table and asked, "I thought you would stay in Paris for Christmas?"

"I just went to look for some hydrangea seeds and came back when I found them," said Perenal.

"We already have nearly two thousand pots of hydrangeas at home. She's been obsessed with them lately." Nico whispered to Kyle.

Then he walked over to the table and sat down, and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

Perenelle looked at Connor, then at Kyle, and her smile widened.

"Talking about Christmas presents." Kanna blurted out.

"Yes, that's right." Perenelle didn't expose her. "Nico, I plan to give this book and those parchments to Kanna as a Christmas gift. What do you think?"

"Of course, that's no problem. I thought so too. They are of no use to me anyway," said Nico.

"Thank you, thank you..." Seeing the two looking at her again, Kanna quickly took out a small bottle and put it on the table, "This is the gift I brought."

"Oh?" Nico was a little surprised. He hadn't received a gift for a long time, mainly because the owl couldn't find this place at all.

He didn't care at first, but when he saw the bottle, he was suddenly stunned.

"Are you sure you want to give it to me?" Nico asked meaningfully.

"Yes." Kanna nodded.

"Then do you know what it is?"

"Phoenix Potion." Kanna said.

"Yes, some people do call it that." Nico nodded, "But what if I tell you that this small bottle of potion can resurrect a wizard once."

resurrection?

Kyle and Connor raised their heads at the same time.

"Resurrection may not be accurate. Strictly speaking, it should be used to counteract the Killing Curse." Nico explained, "The original purpose of this potion was to resist the Killing Curse, but its process is too complicated, and it must use the ashes left after the phoenix's natural rebirth, so it is almost impossible to find it now. The last time I saw it was about three hundred years ago.

"Moreover, this potion is also very useful in alchemy. The magic words and symbols written with it will hardly be affected by any external factors."

Kyle couldn't help but look at the small bottle again.

He had previously thought that it contained something similar to the Felicity Potion, but now he realized how wrong he was.

It can counteract a killing curse, which is no different from resurrection. In other words, as long as you drink it, everyone can be Harry, and no one needs to sacrifice.

"So..." Nico looked at Connor again, "Are you really going to give me this precious potion?"

To be honest, Kyle was a little conflicted, but Kanna nodded without any hesitation.

"Yes!"

"Okay, I'll take it." Nico picked up the bottle, "Oh, can you tell me who made this potion?"

"Snape...Severus Snape," Connor said.
