Chapter 169
While walking outside the door, Nicole Flamel reminded Luke for the fourth time in the morning: "Remember to boil the medicine quickly. If the surplus magic power of the Philosopher's Stone cannot be digested in time, your fertility..."
"I'll get the material as soon as possible."
Luke was a little helpless.He didn't expect that the Sorcerer's Stone would have such a side effect, and it would be so troublesome to turn this residual magic power into his own use.
"Don't worry. Severus has all the materials. And I also have Phoenix Tears."
Dumbledore reassured.
He can't watch the Gunter family die because of this kind of oolong, and he is also responsible for this matter.
But after Nico still nodded a little worriedly, he saw the two people in front of him looking at the lake not far away.There, a man in armor was standing there, as if he was fishing.
"This iron sheet, your friend?"
Luke poked Dumbledore's waist eye and asked.
Dumbledore patted the little bastard's hand angrily: "I don't know!"
Kidd stood quietly by the lake, holding a fishing rod in his hand.
Beside him, Nico's snowy owl was staring at him fiercely, but it seemed helpless.
And Kidd didn't pay attention, the face covered by the armor couldn't see the expression, but the whole gave off a particularly indifferent feeling.
But after a while, Kidd gently picked up the fishing rod in his hand, and a large fish also broke out of the water.Wagging its tail in the air and struggling endlessly.
Kidd, who was dressed in iron, couldn't see his face clearly, but Luke, who had opened up his emotional vision, could see that he was still very happy now.
He would swing to his side and the fish made a graceful parabola through the air and landed in his hand.As if the fish sensed some danger, the swing became more and more intense.Kidd silently removed the hook from the mouth of the fish, and then threw the fish back into the lake.
This move seemed to have stimulated the snowy owl, and it uttered an angry cry at Kidd.And Kidd just glanced at it and let out a soft laugh.
"That seems to be... Kidd."
Nico, who walked in front of the two, looked at the iron sheet, and said with a slightly puzzled expression.
Kidd?
Dumbledore frowned.He had some impression of the name.
And Luke thought of a guy in a top hat and a white suit.
Although the painting styles of these two guys are completely different.
"He is one of the biggest forces in the French dark wizard world, the leader of the 'Iron Armor'." Nico said to Luke, "According to the legend, he is always wearing a piece of armor, and he will never take it off no matter what. .”
"There were also rumors that he wasn't a man under the armor at all, that he really was the armor."
Luke looked at the two elderly people beside him, whose expressions were not particularly relaxed, and suddenly realized how difficult each other was.
What's worse, he felt that the Tin Woodman in front of him probably came after him.
Because it is not the first time that Dumbledore, Nicole LeMay, and even the Sorcerer's Stone have appeared in France.Both publicly and privately.This guy didn't show up before.As a result, now that he has himself as a variable, this guy appears immediately.In such a situation, it is difficult for you to make Luke not suspect that it is your problem.
"Be careful. Although the opponent's strength cannot match yours, France is their territory after all."
Nico shook his head and reminded Dumbledore beside him.
He certainly wouldn't tell Luke to be careful when it was his turn to fight.
"Luke, follow me into the yard. Let Dumbledore deal with any trouble."
When Nico said this, he really didn't mean to be tempting.Just kidding... There is no need to use this kind of black wizard who is in good condition, powerful, and has no friendship to test the child.
That's not a test, it's a real intention to kill Luke,
"I'm afraid I can't get in." Luke said with a wry smile on his face, "I feel that this guy is probably looking for me."
When Luke said this, the two people around him understood, but it was not surprising.It's normal for Luke to be treated like this.
I just don't know what the other party's intention is.
But if Dumbledore is there to help, I also know that the other party will definitely not do anything drastic.
'Iron Armor' does have some influence in France, but it would be too naive to want to use this influence to wrestle with Dumbledore.
Nico shook his head, knowing that there was a high probability that nothing would happen today.
"Oh, I have to change places again, and I finally found a place with a good view."
"Mr. LeMay can rest assured that I will never reveal a word of your address."
Kidd, who was not far away, said as he walked towards this side.While the armor was walking, there was a clanging sound of gold and iron colliding.
And his voice was as solid and cold as his armor.
Luke looked at Kidd who was coming, as if he had gotten rid of some shackles, and his expression became more and more casual.
On the other side, Nicole Flamel shook his head with a smile and said, "If you can believe your mouths, then you will be damned."
After speaking, he gave Dumbledore a look, then turned and returned to his house.
Kidd didn't care either, and just kept walking until he got in front of the two of them. He didn't look at Dumbledore on the side, but looked at Luke.
Luke could see nothing but the cold iron helmet.
At least from Dumbledore's point of view.
And in Luke's vision.That layer of emotional dust is not tightly attached to the outer skin of the iron sheet.But separated by a small distance.
Under normal circumstances, such as when Taylor is wearing clothes, the emotional dust on her body will cling to her clothes. To be precise, the clothes are included in the range of emotional dust.
And if you are naked, you will find that there is actually a small distance between the emotional dust and the human body.
Luke didn't know what was going on, but according to his research, that part of the tiny distance was not actually a real distance, but a blank space.
If it is really possible to suppress all emotions into the blank, all the emotions of a person will disappear... Luke is just guessing that he still does not have the ability to suppress a person's entire emotions into the blank.So I don't know what the consequences will be after doing this.
But that's beside the point.
The point is, Kidd, who is wearing armor, is not wearing armor?
That is to say...
"The rumors really can't be killed with one shot."
With a playful smile on his face, Luke spoke first.
At this time, in Kidd's field of vision.Among all black and white, there are two human figures shining like diamonds in front of them.Of course, one is like the sun at noon and the other is like the stars at night.
"Luke...has His Highness's spiritual strength already taken this step?"
Kidd said in his heart with some surprise.But he didn't have any expression to show.
"I thought so too. You really deserve your reputation."
Kidd said in a smiling tone.
Then he turned to Dumbledore and said, "I have known you for a long time, Professor Dumbledore."
Dumbledore nodded, and looked at Kidd in front of him, staring at Kidd with sharp eagle-like eyes, as if he wanted to see through Kidd's appearance behind the armor.

"I've heard your story too, Mr. Kidd...from Grindelwald."
Dumbledore was quite distrustful of the armor in front of him.Because Grindelwald was rampant in France back then, and this guy was among them.
Of course, there must be more than Kidd and his "iron armor" behind that incident.
But participating is participating.
And more importantly... This armor should be the same as the armor of the year, but is the person under the armor still the original one?
Dumbledore felt uncomfortable.
"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us." Kidd heard Dumbledore's smile and said, "But it's all over. And now the relationship between us and the saints is not harmonious.
After finishing speaking, Kidd no longer cared about Dumbledore, but looked at Luke and said, "Mr. Gunter, I have something I want to talk to you about."
"Then here it is." Luke said casually, "This place is already hidden enough, and Professor Dumbledore, Mr. Flamel, and Mrs. Flamel are all people I can trust. If you have anything to do, directly Just say it."
Kidd's movements froze for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and soon he returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.But the two people in front of them have already reached a very high level in observing words and expressions. Although Kidd has no face to look at, the two of them still saw the momentary stiffness.
"Although I respect Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Flamel and his wife very much, it is better for me to discuss this matter with you alone." Kidd's tone was quite respectful, and there was no other meaning.
But in fact, up to now, the three people present all know who each other is.
"There's nothing to talk about alone. You probably aren't the one I arranged for."
Luke looked at Kidd, smiled and said something that made Kidd a little helpless in a gentle and casual tone.
Luke knew the identity of the Tin Woodman in front of him when he heard the word Your Highness.And judging from the fact that I had never heard of it before, and that Nico was unfamiliar with Kidd just now.Even if it has something to do with the Gaunt family, I'm afraid it doesn't have something to do with his branch.
"We serve the entire Gunter family, not just a certain bloodline. What's more, it's meaningless to discuss this now, isn't it? You are the last person with the surname Gunter."
Kidd also said calmly.
"It was probably not you who contacted me at the time."
Dumbledore didn't hide it anymore, he couldn't tell if Kidd in front of him was lying or not.So he can only give Luke the information he knows, and let Luke judge by himself.
When Luke looked at him, Dumbledore silently extended a finger to Luke, which probably meant...
"A message."
Luke didn't bother to talk to Dumbledore at this time. Although he was very unhappy with the news that everyone could guess, it would be a good thing if the news was confirmed.
Of course, Kidd was a little confused by the two people's barrage of words.He didn't come to reveal his identity today.And his purpose...
"We do exist in more than one country. I have something important to tell you now, Your Highness Luke..."
Kidd straightened up, secretly cursing the trash who collected information in his heart.He also thought that Alice's troubles were caused by that person on purpose.Thinking about it now, maybe he really worked hard...
Kidd wanted to say a few more words to Luke, but he suddenly felt movement behind him.
"Tsk...you move so fast."
Kidd grunted, with some helplessness in his tone.
And Luke and Dumbledore also looked at the position behind Kidd.
"It's so lively, today."
Luke looked at the tall man not far away, with a scar on his face, who was walking towards this side, and smiled inexplicably.
"Believe me, you will be even busier when we really appear in other people's sight later."
Dumbledore said helplessly in his tone.
Before leaving Nico's place, they had already met two groups of people.This matter itself is already very nonsense.You know, why Nicole Flamel wanted to live in seclusion in this place is mainly because this place is hidden, and this place was enchanted by Nicole Flamel.If a stranger breaks in, there will be an alarm.
But now, the alarm has not sounded once.
"Master Kidd, Master Alice wants you to go back and discuss things."
With a face that looks fierce at first glance, saying such words in a polite manner, the contrast is also quite gratifying.
"Master Alice sends you greetings too, Your Highness Luke."
When Luke was about to watch the play, the fire, as expected, still burned on him.
"That letter should have been given to me by Miss Alice at the time, right?"
Luke didn't talk nonsense, and asked this question after nodding his head.
"Miss Alice said it was a pity that you didn't reply to her letter, but still thought you were pen pals."
Arthur said some nonsensical words with some helplessness on his face.
After Luke frowned, he still smiled and said, "Thank you Miss Alice for me, she really helped me a lot in my plan."
Then, before Arthur could say a word of humility, he heard Luke's cold words.
"If it wasn't for the fact that the Voldebat was too strong, it almost killed me."
Arthur inexplicably felt that his heart became extremely heavy in an instant.Fear and shame surged into his heart almost at the same time, causing beads of sweat to drip down his forehead.
However, this feeling only lasted for a moment. Arthur, who had more time in his heart, smiled awkwardly and said, "I'd better wait for Miss Alice to explain this to you when I return to England."
Luke stopped pressing his fingers hard on his arm, and nodded without saying anything, "Then let Mr. Kidd leave first. It's better for you to reach a consensus before discussing with me."
"I don't need to hear two voices. Of course, in principle, I can hear neither."
Arthur didn't say anything more, bowed to Luke, and then gave Kidd a cold look.
After the two left, Dumbledore glanced at Luke in surprise and said, "Both of them are not weak."
Luke sneered when he heard this.
"Guess why I did not hesitate to terminate that seemingly strict contract with the Lance family, but in fact there are countless loopholes to exploit."
Dumbledore guessed, but he said nothing.
Luke said frankly: "That's not my dog. I'm afraid that when I bleed, they won't be able to resist the smell of blood at all."
Dumbledore obviously agrees with Luke's statement.
But he still gave Luke a playful look.
"I remember Gibson telling me that when you were kidnapped, there was a little girl who was protecting you besides Chris. If you disappeared, the little girl might feel wronged."
Luke's complexion was not good. He knew that some people would definitely book a scapegoat first.
He was really afraid of what would happen to Fu Rong and Fu Rong's mother.
After all, this matter started because of him.
"It's okay. I'll take care of it." Luke said frankly, then looked at Dumbledore, and said seriously: "But I need your help, Professor."
Dumbledore looked at Luke's serious face and said with a smile: "Of course, my dear student!"
