Erwin looked at Dumbledore and said, "Excuse me, Professor! Is there a possibility that the Dark Lord's life or death has no effect on me? I always believe that the strong will always be strong! Voldemort's life or death has no effect on me. At worst, if the Dark Lord really comes to power, if he can save my life, I don't think it's impossible to join him! Professor Dumbledore, you know, you have seen my true nature! I want to live, and always will!"
Dumbledore was speechless for a moment, because what Alvin said was the truth. It seemed that he really didn't need to care about Voldemort's life or death.
Dumbledore felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. When talking to Erwin, he always felt that everything was beyond his expectations.
This made Dumbledore, who was used to being in control of everything, very uncomfortable.
Dumbledore looked at Erwin: "Erwin, you said that Harry is your friend! As a friend, shouldn't you help him?"
Erwin smiled.
"Professor, you shouldn't be so naive. From the moment you told me you'd been to the Burrow, you should have known that our relationship had changed! I won't continue to pretend to be a good child and talk to you like that. All of this was your own choice, wasn't it? If you want me to help you, then tell me your price. Friendship can't hold me back, you know that very well!"
Dumbledore sighed.
He realized that he had made a wrong move.
From the moment he exposed Erwin's true nature, the pretended peace between him and Erwin was torn apart.
Alvin will no longer be arranged by Dumbledore to build his character.
It can be said that in front of Dumbledore, Alvin had no scruples.
This was all Dumbledore's own fault.
Some things should not be said.
Now that Dumbledore has spoken, he must bear the consequences.
Dumbledore sat there without saying a word.
Erwin was in no hurry either.
He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Then he frowned and said, "Black tea with sugar in it really doesn't taste good!"
Dumbledore spread his hands: "Sweetness is the best taste in the world. It can make you feel happy!"
Erwin said, "Perhaps. So, Professor, what's your price?"
Dumbledore said, "I've already thought of something for you!"
Erwin shook his head. "No, Professor, you have something in your hand that I'm quite interested in!"
Dumbledore paused, thinking for a moment: "You mean, the Philosopher's Stone?"
Erwin's mouth curled up: "Yes, the Philosopher's Stone, but I don't want the Philosopher's Stone that has almost no power now! I need a Philosopher's Stone with full power!"
Dumbledore shook his head. "That's impossible. Not even Nicolas Flamel could create another Philosopher's Stone!"
Erwin laughed and said, "Professor, you are really insincere! I was reading in the library and found something very interesting! Would you like to listen to it?"
Dumbledore looked at the smile on Erwin's face.
He frowned.
Ignoring Dumbledore, Erwin continued.
"The book said that after the great alchemist Nicolas Flamel turned mercury into gold, he suddenly had an idea and wanted to fix his ability on a certain object, so that the object would be given the ability to turn stone into gold! However, although Nicolas Flamel's talent in alchemy was unprecedented, he was unable to achieve his idea with his own strength! So he found a good friend and worked together to create! With the joint efforts of the two, they found a very special material. This material was Alchemy combined with the powerful wizard's magic finally fulfilled Nicolas Flamel's vision of turning stone into gold! Overjoyed, Nicolas named it the Philosopher's Stone. However, Nicolas soon discovered that perhaps the wizard's magic power was too vast, and the Philosopher's Stone was unstable! So, Nicolas Flamel used alchemy to split the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone into two! He kept it a secret from everyone except his wizard friend, and gave the separated piece of the Philosopher's Stone to his friend as a reward and a favor for safekeeping!
"Later, Nicolas Flamel's health deteriorated, but he still had many things he wanted to research. So, based on the Philosopher's Stone, he modified it again, using his superb alchemy skills to give the Stone another function: extending human life! However, immortality is illusory after all, and no one can truly control this power. So this kind of immortality has become a false immortality. Rather than immortality, it is better to say that it is a product of alchemy that has transformed people! The other Philosopher's Stone, which did not have the ability to prolong life, was taken away by that wizard and disappeared. And you, Professor Dumbledore, are the owner of the other Philosopher's Stone. Am I correct?"
A gleam of light flashed in Dumbledore's eyes: "Elvin, how did you know all this?"
Erwin's heart skipped a beat.
Is it true?
Elvin was also talking nonsense. This was something he had seen in a post in his previous life when he was browsing Tieba. It was about unofficial history, but the blogger used a lot of evidence to prove the credibility of his analysis in the post.
Erwin was just watching the fun at that time.
He said it now just to trick Dumbledore. In fact, Alvin's goal was the Philosopher's Stone which had no power anymore.
As for the reason for wanting that thing, it was purely for research.
But judging from Dumbledore's tone, this thing actually exists?
Did the blogger's analysis turn out to be correct?
Erwin remained expressionless: "I told you, I read a book! It records..."
Dumbledore said, "Since you are unwilling to tell the truth, I will not ask you any more questions. Yes! There is indeed another Philosopher's Stone! Many of what you said are correct. No one should know about it except me and Nicolas Flamel! Although I don't know where you got the information, the Philosopher's Stone in my hand has no other function except to turn stone into gold. But I assume you are not short of money. I don't understand why you want that thing?"
Erwin said, "I naturally have my reasons, Professor, there's no need to ask! What I want is the Philosopher's Stone. As long as the professor agrees, then this semester, as long as I am in Hogwarts, I will not let Harry get hurt!"
Dumbledore shook his head: "Not enough, I want you to be Harry's protector!"
Erwin sneered: "Professor, it's getting late! I have to go back to evening study. Good night!"
