Nicolas Flamel was a famous master alchemist and the only creator of the Philosopher's Stone today.
Karl remembered that Lord Voldemort wanted to use the power of the Philosopher's Stone to regain a physical body and escape his state as a wandering spirit.
Dumbledore waved his sleeve, dispersing the silver text in the air, and in its place appeared the phantom image of a blood-red crystal stone.
"The Philosopher's Stone is a magical alchemical creation that can turn any metal into pure gold and can also create the Elixir of Life. After Nicolas created the Philosopher's Stone, he spent long years with his wife, Perenelle."
"However, although they could live forever, their bodies continued to age, gradually decaying."
"Not long ago, Nicolas told me that they were ready for their next great adventure: welcoming death."
Speaking of this, Dumbledore couldn't help but feel a bit sad; his old friends were becoming fewer and fewer.
"But the temptation of immortality has made many people covet the Philosopher's Stone. Over the centuries, Nicolas himself cannot remember how many times he has been attacked."
"Now, Nicolas and Perenelle have stored enough Elixir of Life to settle their affairs."
"In the time they have left, they do not wish to be disturbed again, so they have entrusted the Philosopher's Stone to me, hoping to finish the last leg of their lives in peace."
Karl expressed his understanding; such a request was truly hard to refuse. No wonder Dumbledore had paused his search for The Otherworld.
"So, does everyone know the Philosopher's Stone is in your hands now?"
"Of course not everyone, only those who are interested in the Philosopher's Stone."
Karl scratched his head. "That doesn't count as trouble, does it? Who would take the wrong Potion and dare to come and rob you?"
Dumbledore smiled slightly. "Of course there are; for example, your senior Tom, who wouldn't care about what happens to an old man like me."
Pfft! He's your Tom! I'm not familiar with him!
"I originally placed the Philosopher's Stone in Gringotts, but I still felt it wasn't safe enough, so I prepared to have Hagrid retrieve it and keep it safe at Hogwarts."
Karl thought this decision was very correct. After all, with Dumbledore and Grindelwald both here, no matter how strong the Goblins' security was, it couldn't compare to these two old men.
"You aren't trying to go fishing, are you?"
"Fishing? That's a very vivid way to put it!"
Dumbledore happily extended an invitation to Karl. "I have already notified several Professors and asked them to set up some protective measures for the Philosopher's Stone. Would you like to join?"
Karl recalled the various obstacles from the original story and immediately became interested. "Sure! Fiendfyre or Gubraithian Fire? Or should I go catch a few Acromantulas? Although they aren't adults, they are still capable of poisoning someone to death."
Looking at the someone who was getting Hyper, Dumbledore hurriedly signaled him to calm down. "Stop, stop. It doesn't need to be set up so dangerously, because I also want to test a Little wizard, so safety is the priority."
Karl asked a question he already knew the answer to. "Who?"
"You should have heard his name: the Boy Who Lived—Harry Potter."
"So it's him, the famous Savior. Then it certainly shouldn't be too dangerous."
Flashes of ideas crossed his mind, and Karl's smile gradually became twisted.
Seeing this scene, Dumbledore suddenly regretted his decision to invite him to help with the setup.
But since it was already said, it wasn't easy to take back, so he could only tactfully remind him: "Karl, Harry is your junior."
"Don't worry! I understand!"
Karl winked at Dumbledore; he would definitely learn from his role model, senior Tom.
"Albus, I'm going back to prepare."
"All right, Karl, goodbye."
Walking to the door, Karl turned back to look at Dumbledore and offered a suggestion:
"Albus, since you are going to search for The Otherworld, why not ask Mr. Nicolas Flamel to wait a little longer?"
"Six hundred years have passed; waiting a few more years is nothing. Maybe everyone can go to The Otherworld together."
