“…… The Hermetic School? ”

Hearing this somewhat familiar name, Annan frowned slightly.

He remembered the name.

- Stone of the Hermetic Sage.

This is the full name of the Philosopher's Stone that Annan injected before.

So Annan asked casually, "What's that?"

"Are they spreading some forbidden knowledge?"

Hearing this, Salvatore on the side also pricked up his ears and listened intently.

Because he remembered it too...... This name is mentioned in the notes left by Benjamin.

Unlike Kaphne.

As an ordinary person, Albert did not have the ability to perceive the tension of the two transcendents, Annan and Salvatore.

"Not really."

He just shrugged his shoulders and said casually, "Actually, it's a wandering wizard and his followers. They formed an organization that resembled an archaeological society and was somewhat like a philosophical school. However, there are not many transcendents in it...... So we didn't care much about it.

"But when the wizard first met Kaphne, he praised her for her talent."

His Royal Highness Albert said this, and glanced at Kaphne.

Seeing that Kaphne was just silent and didn't look away slightly, and didn't say anything, Albert touched his nose and smiled a little embarrassedly: "But after Kaphne left, she suddenly said...... He's a demon. ”

"I'm just saying that his soul is like a demon."

Kaphne corrected.

"At that time, I didn't realize Kaphne's talent. That's why I didn't pay much attention to Kafno's words......"

Albert explained, "But I gave the order, just in case, to have the guards watch him and not let him go near Kaphne again. ”

"He didn't come back after that."

"But I've seen him in my dreams, and he's taught me about the otherworld," said Kaphne softly...... He was my mentor. ”

“…… What the? ”

Albert was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you tell me?" ”

Kaphne glanced at him and said with great certainty, "If there is no evidence, you will not believe it, Dad." ”

When Albert heard this, he scratched the tip of his nose in some embarrassment.

He pleaded in a somewhat weak tone: "I found out that he was wearing gold ornaments at the time, and I sent someone to ask Zedi Heta about it just to be safe, and that wizard is not a big person.

"The news from the Black Tower is very certain—among all the current gold-level wizards, no one has this name.

"This means that he is not at least a wizard of the Golden Rank...... The transcendents of the silver rank still can't make any waves in the royal capital. ”

Albert shrugged his shoulders and said disapprerovingly, "Just hidden in the royal court, there are several gold-level transcendents. That's the royal capital, not another city......"

That's just as well.

Annan nodded in agreement.

For now, the expressiveness of the silver-tier transcendents he had seen...... The gap with the Golden Tier is indeed a bit far.

If there is a gold-level guard, it is basically difficult for a silver-level transcendent to make any big moves.

"So, what's the name of that wandering wizard?"

Salvatore asked curiously, "Your Highness, do you remember?" ”

"Well, I remember. Because Kaphne said he was like a demon, I remembered his name. ”

Albert quickly replied, "If I'm not mistaken, his name should be ......

"—Nicholas Flamell."

“…… Nicholas Flammel? ”

At this moment, the shadow, who had been silent for a while, suddenly muttered to himself in disbelief: "Wait, I have an impression of this name-"

Seeing that the shadows were amazed by the name, Salvatore's heart suddenly tightened.

Although he had little impression of the name, Salvatore had an impression of the character and memory of his shadow......

The name that can make it can't help but make a sound is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Something is wrong, Sal. Hurry up and ask this stupid big man, does he have long white curly hair and dark green eyes? ”

After a brief pause, the shadow quickly said in Salvatore's mind.

Realizing the urgency of the matter, Salvatore did not suspect the shadow.

He just immediately asked, "Your Highness, the person you are talking about...... Is it white curly hair with green eyes? ”

Hearing this, Albert was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, Kaphne raised her head and looked at Salvatore carefully, with some doubt in her eyes.

The old baker who had been silent also raised his head thoughtfully.

His Royal Highness Albert asked tentatively, "Do you know him?" ”

His inquiry, already told Salvatore the answer.

His face quickly turned a little ugly.

Salvatore followed the shadow one by one, saying, "I've heard the name. He is indeed not any of the Golden Rank wizards that exist 'currently......

"I mean, he should be ...... by now It's dead. ”

Salvatore speaks astonishingly.

Under the silent gazes of the others, even the players, Salvatore stammered, followed by a shadowy voice, filtered out the expletives and said, "Nicolás Flammel, he ...... He was once the Transforming Mentor of the Jade Tower, to which the Kingdom of Denisoa belongs, and served as the tower master for a short time.

"More than a hundred years ago, he ignited his soul and advanced gold. But at that time, he did not succeed the lord of the tower...... It was only after more than a year that he suddenly became the son of the tower, and succeeded to the position of the tower master at great speed.

After that, he served as the master of the Jade Tower for more than thirty years. Soon after that, a new son of the tower was born - then Nicholas would naturally be stripped of his status as the tower master.

"Some tower owners see this status as a burden, but others see it as fundamental to the continuation of life...... The golden soul is eternal and bright, like gold, and cannot be wounded by ordinary curses. But if you use the power of the elements, you will gradually burn and dry your soul until you are close to death.

"Nicholas used the power of his elementals in excess, so it wasn't long after he lost his status as tower master...... Almost a hundred years ago, he died and was buried. ”

Salvatore's own face has not looked good.

It was as if he was frightened by his own words.

He muttered, "At that time...... Many people attended his funeral. Because he was the discoverer and improver of the ancient Philosopher's Stone technology, he was called the 'Second Hermes' and the 'Modern Sage'—and he was also one of the very few 'sages' in this era who could actually refine the finished product of the Philosopher's Stone.

But after his death, when the Jade Tower searched his laboratory and searched for his Philosopher's Stone, it was not found. At that time, it was suspected that a traitor had escaped with the Philosopher's Stone, and after searching for several years, it gradually faded into oblivion.

"If you really met a man who called himself Nicolas Flammel, with white hair and green eyes...... I think he probably didn't die at all at that time-

"He used the Philosopher's Stone he refined to escape the fate of death!"
