Chapter 82 Comfort
"Then I am indeed amazing." Jiang Li straightened his clothes and said with great pride, "Maybe I am the next great alchemist Perni Lope."
Perni Lope was amused by her playful appearance and laughed. She put down the watering can and said, "Come in and sit down."
She led the way and opened the door.
The interior was warmly decorated, with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in the vase in the living room and many strange alchemical items inside.
Jiang Li saw a clock floating in the air, with its hands ticking non-stop.
She lightly tapped her hand, a flash of light passed by, and suddenly a picture appeared in her mind.
Amidst the rubble, she staggered towards Snape's body. In the look of Lily's sadness, she hugged Snape's cold body with a confused and panicked look, as if she didn't know why things had turned out this way.
"Gardenia, what's wrong with you?"
Snape's voice woke her.
Jiang Li came out of that mysterious state and felt moisture in the corners of his eyes. He subconsciously touched his face and found that he was crying.
"Are you okay?" Snape asked Jiang Li with concern.
Looking at the lively Snape in front of him, Jiang Li's mood gradually calmed down.
"I'm fine." Jiang Li said softly.
"Did you see anything?"
A kind voice sounded, and Jiang Li realized that an old man was standing next to him.
The old man was wearing a traditional white robe, had a head full of silver hair, a kind face, and looked at Jiang Li peacefully as he asked.
"Since I received your last letter, I have tried to study the time. This is the clock I made based on the information you gave me before. It is not very sensitive. Last time, Penny said that when she touched the clock, she saw you coming to visit us in the next few days."
Jiang Li recognized the old man's identity instantly.
Nicolas Flamel!
"No, I just saw a kitten I raised died." Jiang Li smiled faintly.
When did Gardenia get a cat?
Snape looked at Jiang Li's face in confusion, feeling that her smile seemed a little fake.
What exactly I saw, I can't tell.
"That kitten must be very important to you." Nicolas Flamel looked at Jiang Li and said gently.
Jiang Li nodded without hesitation, "It is indeed very important."
But she didn't want to continue on this topic.
"Mr. Flamel, I've been researching a new alchemical item recently. It can connect the consciousness of many people together, but I also want to set up many scenarios for it and generate a story for it, so that people who enter it can treat it as their own life. Do you know how to make it?"
She improved the metal trial field she had made before, and now there was a faint halo on it, and complex problems emerged.
Nicolas Flamel took the thing from her hand and examined it carefully.
Perni Lope also went forward to check out the curious thing.
Jiang Li took out the notes she had made earlier, which contained her ideas in this regard.
She wanted to design a trial ground that all Hogwarts students could enter, so that all students could experience another world and a completely different life in it.
A change in the world's pattern is always accompanied by blood and death.
Jiang Li didn't know how to change all this without bloodshed, she could only try her best to change the minds of these students.
Furthermore, creating a new world can accommodate new ideas and allow people to vent their negative emotions that have nowhere to go.
Both old men were very interested in Jiang Li's idea.
Mr. Nicolas Flamel even put his consciousness into Jiang Li's trial field.
This was a completely unfamiliar place, and the streets were bustling with people, who walked past him in strange costumes with scabbards hanging on their backs.
He followed these people curiously and looked at the vendors hawking their wares on the street.
Suddenly, a boy ran up to him, took his hand and said, "Nicol, Tianyuan Sect will soon recruit disciples, let's go quickly, or we will miss it."
Nicolas Flamel was pulled away by the boy before he even had time to say anything.
He looked at the boy's back, then at his own hand, which was held by a pair of very tender and clean hands, not his original hands...
Inside the room, Jiang Li looked at the two old men who were already caught up in the plot of the trial field, and found a chair for himself to sit down in a very familiar manner.
She took out a small table from her bracelet, placed all the snacks Mia had prepared on the table, and called Dumbledore and Snape to come and try them.
"Are they okay?"
Seeing that both old men had fallen into unconsciousness, Snape said with concern.
"It's okay. They can come out anytime they want." Jiang Li replied.
She took a bite of the almond cookie while Dumbledore ate the peach shortbread.
“The desserts you make are always so unique.”
Dumbledore really liked the taste of peach pastry, and asked Jiang Li, "Can I ask for the recipe of these pastries? Perhaps the menu of Hogwarts pastries can be more sumptuous."
"These snacks are made by Mia. I'm not sure how to make them. If you need help, you can ask Mia. If she's willing, I can ask her to teach other elves at Hogwarts how to make these snacks."
Jiang Li did not agree directly.
Although she could directly order Mia to do these things, there was no need.
Mia is not an elf in Hogwarts, so there is no need for her to do things that are not her job. After all, house-elves don't get paid.
"It seems I need to prepare some gifts to visit your house-elf." Dumbledore said seriously.
Jiang Li smiled and looked at him, remembering the photo of Grindelwald he had seen on the card last time, and asked Dumbledore:
"Albus, have you ever had a lover before?"
Snape paused while drinking his tea and looked at Dumbledore curiously.
Dumbledore took a bite of the dragon beard crisp and replied calmly, "I don't remember. My previous memories are a little fuzzy."
Hearing this, Jiang Li raised his eyebrows slightly.
If there is no direct answer, then there is one.
"Have you broken up with your lover? From your appearance, I can see that you have had a rough love life and a weak family bond. What happened?" Jiang Li asked curiously.
"Nia, I don't want to recall the past. It was not a good memory." Dumbledore said with a melancholy look.
So the problems in that marriage were also related to the death of a relative, Jiang Li deduced in his mind.
She comforted Dumbledore lovingly, "Don't be too sad. You will die in a few decades anyway, and then you will be able to see your deceased relatives."
"...Child, thank you for your comfort, but I think I can live a few more years."
This comfort was very effective, and Dumbledore was instantly pulled away from his sad memories.
Seeing Dumbledore being humiliated by Jiang Li, the corners of Snape's lips curled up slightly.
Seeing that Nickleme and his wife had not yet come out of the trial field, Jiang Li played with the ring on his hand, calculating the outcome of this trip.
[Zhongji]
It was much better than she had imagined.
It was almost sunset when Nicolas Flamel and his wife came out of the trial field.
The two old people's eyes were surprisingly bright.
Perni Lope looked at Jiang Li and exclaimed: "It's like another world there."
She could run and fly in the trial field, as if she had returned to her teenage years. Her body was not restricted by age at all, and the adventures she experienced there were exciting.
If the trial field hadn't reminded her that she had been inside for too long, Perney Lope would have been unwilling to come out.
"Nia, can you leave this here before you leave?" asked Nicolas Flamel.
