Bell: A Man's Journey Is the Sea of Stars!

Led by Dumbledore, the two went straight into the house.

The interior space was much larger than it appeared from the outside, clearly having been expanded using the Undetectable Extension Charm.

Like the outside, the interior of the house also gives a sense of clutter, but unlike a typical family home, Nicolas Flamel's home feels alive.

Yes, everything in this room, from the tables and chairs to the chandeliers, windows, and even the floor, feels alive.

Nicolas Flamel truly lived up to his reputation as a master alchemist; this house must have been meticulously renovated by him. Even if it transformed into Transformers the next moment, Bell wouldn't be surprised.

Nicolas Flamel was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, waiting for the two of them. Seeing them enter, he smiled and stood up to greet them.

"Welcome, Albus and Mr. Menethil. Please have a seat; I have prepared tea and snacks for you. If there is anything else you would like to drink or eat, please feel free to ask."

After the two sat down as instructed, some teapots, teacups, and plates came over on their own, containing food that had been prepared in advance.

The three of them first drank some tea and exchanged pleasantries before finally getting to the main topic of the day.

"So, Bell, what brings you here today?"

"Yes. If possible, I would like to speak with you privately."

Bell glanced at Dumbledore. Although it wouldn't matter if Dumbledore overheard the conversation, Bell simply didn't like being around Dumbledore. Just sitting next to him made Bell feel uncomfortable and insecure.

Dumbledore didn't care about Bell's attitude. He already knew the previous night that Bell had designs on the Philosopher's Stone and didn't want him to know the details.

Dumbledore smiled as he stood up and said goodbye to Nicolas Flamel.

"Then I'll be going now, I have some things to take care of."

After saying that, Dumbledore left with a nonchalant air. He could ask Nicolas about the rest of the conversation later, so listening now was irrelevant.

After Dumbledore left, Nicolas Flamel once again turned to Bell.

"Can we talk now?"

"I'd like to show you something first."

As Bell spoke, he took two mirrors out of his pocket and placed them on the coffee table in front of him.

"I know this, it's Personal Terminal, right? I heard it was made by your family? It's a great invention! I've also made some alchemical artifacts for communication, but they were too expensive, so I only made a few and gave them to a few friends. Personal Terminal are probably an improvement on Two-Way Mirror, right? Do you know how it manages to communicate with different people? Of course, if it's classified, then pretend I didn't ask." Nicolas Flamel also took out a Personal Terminal from his pocket and asked with great interest.

"Of course, this isn't a secret. It's simply adding a third mirror between the Two-Way Mirror, which I call the Server. Every Personal Terminal, when sending a message, is actually connecting to the Server, and then the Server forwards the message. It's modeled after Muggle telephones."

"I see! Indeed, the 'technology' of Muggle these days is truly fascinating! I've been inspired by it a lot when crafting alchemical items," Nicolas Flamel said excitedly. "So, what are you trying to say by showing me this?"

In response to Nicolas Flamel's question, Bell picked up a mirror from the coffee table.

"First, I want to correct one of your mistakes. This is not Personal Terminal; in fact, it can be called a byproduct of Personal Terminal, but its value far exceeds that of Personal Terminal. I call it a ' Surveillance Mirror '."

"Wait a minute," Nicolas Flamel interrupted, "You just said 'I call it', so does that mean you invented all of these?"

"Yes."

Bell nodded firmly.

"That's amazing! I always thought it was made by your elders!"

Nicolas was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that these wondrous alchemical artifacts were all made by this 12-year-old Little Wizard in front of him!

No, Personal Terminal were invented several years ago, which means that the other party created these things when they were less than 10 years old?

What was I doing when I was 10 years old?

Cough cough, it's been so long, I can't remember it at all.

"Let's get back to the topic of Surveillance Mirror."

A little shy from the praise, Bell steadied the building that had gone astray.

"The Two-Way Mirror transmits images through magic. So I thought, 'Since magic can transmit images, shouldn't it be able to transmit even more things?'"

Bell pressed his Wand against the mirror in his hand. After infusing it with magic, another mirror, which had been placed on the coffee table, floated up.

"It turns out my idea was correct. By manipulating magic, I've achieved the transmission of Curses. Of course, for now I can only cast simple Curses like the Levitation Charm. But even so, I can control the Surveillance Mirror from a great distance, and even see the scene on the other side of the earth. By the way, I haven't yet discovered the limit of how far I can control it."

Bell controlled the Surveillance Mirror to fly to the garden outside the house, and the scene in the garden appeared on the mirror in his hand.

"A marvelous idea, exquisite magical manipulation skills. But I still don't understand, what does this have to do with the Philosopher's Stone? And why did you come to see me?"

Nicolas Flamel looked at Bell with a puzzled expression. At first, he thought Bell was only looking for him to get the Philosopher's Stone, but now it seemed that something was different? Incidentally, Dumbledore had told him before that Bell's goal was the Philosopher's Stone.

"Now, let's get down to business, Mr. Flamel. In my opinion, the Surveillance Mirror is still only a work in progress. Although it allows me to see images on the other side of the earth, it also requires me to constantly infuse it with magic. An individual's magic power is limited, which greatly restricts the Surveillance Mirror's functionality. Therefore, I need a source of magic power! A source of magic power with immense power! And your Philosopher's Stone is exactly what I've been looking for—no, it's a source of magic power even better than I've ever imagined!"

At this point, Bell stood up excitedly from the sofa. He opened his arms as if to embrace the world and spoke loudly to Nicolas Flamel.

"So, Mr. Flamel! Let's explore the universe together!!!"

"..."

"Heh~ Hehe~ Hahaha~~!"

Nicolas burst into laughter. It had been a very long time since anyone had invited him to explore, because for him, there were simply too few unknowns in this world. Bell's words reminded him of his own youth.

It took Nicolas quite a while to finally calm down.

Could you tell me more specifically?
