"How was Christmas, Albus?"

Perenal smiled and welcomed the friends outside the door into the hall, "If you want, you can also come and spend Christmas with us."

"No, Perenal, I think it would be nice to stay in school to spend the holidays with everyone." Dumbledore looked around and asked without seeing his old friend, "Where is Nico?"

"He, in the study, he is chatting with Albert through a double-sided mirror." Perenal's face showed a kind smile, "Nico is always happy to chat with Albert, that is indeed An erudite and clever child."

"Well, Albert is really smart." Dumbledore said noncommittal.

He walked through the hall and appeared in front of the study. Nicol was sitting at the desk, chatting with Albert in the double-sided mirror.

"Oh, Albus, you are here!"

Nicol heard the footsteps, and when he raised his head, he saw Dumbledore who had just entered the study and greeted him with a smile.

"What were you talking about just now?" Dumbledore asked, "I rarely see you smiling like this."

"Well, Albert told me something about Hogwarts school." Nicol had just finished talking with Albert and said as Dumbledore left the study.

"What happened in school?" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly. "What is it, I'm really curious about what makes you so happy."

"Albert said that Professor Quirrell in your school was probably controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse. Every time he has time, he will go to the corridor of the restricted area on the fourth floor to hang out. He seems to be looking for an opportunity to steal your place. The magic stone in the school." Nicol sat down on the sofa and told Dumbledore about the topic he had just chatted with Albert.

"Oh, Professor Quirrell!"

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows slightly. Of course he knew that Professor Quirrell was suspicious, but he really never thought that Professor Quirrell would be easily seen through by the students.

"You told him about the Philosopher's Stone?" Dumbledore asked.

"No." Nicole shook his head. "I asked him how he knew about the Philosopher's Stone. He said that Harry Potter broke into the corridor of the restricted area by mistake, and then he didn't know how to ask him about me." Nicol didn’t mean to conceal, and he told Dumbledore about what he knew, “Associated with what you put in school, it’s not difficult to guess the truth. He even felt that magic The stone is fake."

"Mr. Anderson is indeed very clever." Dumbledore said with a light sigh, "I didn't expect this result to be inferred based on this little information."

"It's really amazing, it's just your Professor Quirrell..." Nicol picked up Perenal's freshly brewed black tea, sipped his mouth, smiled and shook his head.

"I heard that Professor Quirrell is so annoyed by Albert's questions that he doesn't want to see him anymore." Perenal thought it was very interesting.

"It seems that you are ready to choose him as your successor?" Dumbledore added two sugar cubes to the black tea and said after stirring.

Nico really cares about Albert, otherwise why would he tell him these things?

"It is always good to be able to find someone to inherit my knowledge. If this part of knowledge is lost for no reason, then it is really regrettable." Nicol said with emotion.

He has lived for hundreds of years, and he has actually met a lot of geniuses, but there are really not many people like Albert that suits him.

"Are you going to give up the Philosopher's Stone?" Dumbledore was slightly surprised. He had actually discussed giving up the Philosopher's Stone with Nicol.

Nicol said that the timing was wrong.

"I have discussed with Nicol. It's not bad to walk towards death slowly like ordinary people do." Perenal reached out and held Nicol's hand. They had no fear of death. The two had lived for too long. The body is no longer young under the corrosion of the years, and living too long also makes them feel tired. If there is no mutual dependence between the two sides, they can't even support this long time together.

"It's like after a long day, I can finally go to bed and rest." Dumbledore said softly. After a century of life, he is no longer young. The long life also makes him tired, but he can't stop and rest. Some things need him to complete.

"Albus, you are not as old as we are." Nico said with a smile, "you feel that it's a little too early now."

"Albus, maybe you yourself should consider retiring from school and start enjoying the good fortune." Perenal said.

"The timing doesn't allow," Dumbledore said, shaking his head.

"Oh, I can probably guess the reason." Nicol nodded. "However, you should leave this to the young. The savior you choose is not bad."

"Harry needs time." Dumbledore shook his head. "I need to help him share some pressure while he is still alive. Not everyone is as good as Mr. Anderson."

Regarding the question of the crown, Dumbledore felt that Albert must have speculated. Maybe he didn't know the Horcrux, but he must have thought about it.

"He is indeed very good." Perenal said, "That is indeed a very confident and likable child. I heard that he invented a card game, originally intended to give us Christmas gifts, very It's a pity that his owl can't be delivered."

The LeMays regard Albert more as a grandson.

"I know this. Mr. Anderson mentioned it a long time ago." Dumbledore said after hearing Perenal's mention of it and recalling it carefully. "The Christmas present he gave me this year was a pair of woolen socks. "

"What a caring child, isn't it?" Perenal said with a smile, "Finally, you don't have to worry about receiving another pile of books this year."

"However, Albert's situation is very similar to yours. He said that he also received a bunch of books this year~www.novelhall.com~ Nicol suddenly remembered something and said with a smile.

"It seems that the time has come." Dumbledore whispered softly. "Is it because of Mr. Anderson?"

"Not exactly, I feel that the time has come." Nicol said: "We have indeed lived too long. We have experienced most of the world. Death is indeed an exception. As you said, death is just another scene. Great adventure."

For the Nicos, with the Philosopher’s Stone, no matter how much wealth they want to have and how long they want to live, they can get what they want. They actually don’t have much to remember in this world.

The appearance of Voldemort and Albert made up the last two pieces of the puzzle, allowing Nicol to finally make a certain determination.

Of course, it is not that Nico and Perenal are ready to die immediately. They plan to store some elixir of life, and then let themselves slowly welcome the final death like ordinary people.
