Chapter 12: Oath

Chapter 12 – Finalizing Oath

After a while, the water in the basin suddenly became turbulent again, along with a sound of water breaking, Dumbledore and Nicholas reappeared in the principal's office.

Both of their faces were a bit ugly, as if they had lingering fears about the experience just now, but there was an extra sense of bewilderment on Nicholas Flamel's face.

"I see, I think I understand… this kind of situation. Now many things make sense."

Nicholas Flamel frowned and muttered to himself, as he recalled the research documents on Sequence Potion.

"If I guessed correctly, Maple should have drunk a bottle of the spiritual potion that he had developed, and successfully promoted to the so-called [Sleepless]… This is a kind of crazy soul transformation, but it is indeed a suitable path for him, but, alas…! It is only suitable for him. Albus, you have really brought a huge problem for both of us… Albus, it is too peculiar, this is the first time I sincerely felt that Maple was not for dark magic but the other way round, dark magic was born for him!"

"'Born for dark magic'… Nicholas, you are right, I am fully aware of this, it's just that Maple's growth rate has far exceeded my imagination."

Dumbledore pursed his lips, seemingly recalling someone, with some contempt and sarcasm in his tone as well as a rare gloat.

"Haha, this reminds me of a poor guy who thinks that he has broken the limits of dark magic. If he knew about Maple, he would probably be ashamed and angry, right? A man who destroyed his own humanity in favor of dark magic, and a man who mastered the secrets of dark magic in order to gain emotions. This is truly a mockery of fate… but it is truly magical."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore's wrinkled face suddenly showed a relaxed smile that came from the depth of his heart for the first time in a long time. As if he had found someone new who could bear a burden (or was it a "scapegoat"?).

"Albus?"

"Oh, I'm fine, Nicholas, I just felt a lot more relaxed. Right, you should have brought your house key, right?"

"Of course, buddy, I brought it with me."

In the silence of the principal's room, two white-haired old men suddenly winked at each other, and at the same time showed a naughty smile of a mischievous child.

This weird atmosphere made the little phoenix by the side to widen its eyes and shudder, as if it had some premonition… these two old-delinquents, are they planning something again?

"Then, Nicholas, what are you waiting for? Let us, these two poor old men, go and chat properly with this coming 'third generation Dark Lord'."

"Oh… of course, Albus, my dear friend, I am happy to have this "meeting" with you, my magic tells me that this will definitely be a new epic."

Along with a blast of air, the two old men left Hogwarts using a portkey to "kill" little Maple "aggressively".

On this day, Maple officially became Nicholas Flamel's disciple and was adopted as a son by Dumbledore, granting him the full name Maple Dumbledore. Furthermore, on the same day, three individuals inside Nicholas Flamel's alchemy room formed a triangle, holding each other's right wrists and making an 'unbreakable vow' known only to them.

Even in the later generations, almost no one knew the specific content of this oath, it was only known in the magical world as – The Covenant Of Three Saints.

—— [Covenant of three saints] ——

Unless his reason and personality are distorted and corrupted, Maple can continue to research all kinds of magical knowledge, including but not limited to black magic, but he must not harm any wizard of muggle in any direct or indirect way during the research…

Unless in a fatal crisis, or with a permission from either Nicholas Flamel or Albus Dumbledore, Maple is not allowed to cast soul-type dark magic and unforgivable dark magic on any wizard or muggle.

Maple should give priority to protecting Hogwarts to the best of his ability, and should not take the initiative to start a war in the wizarding world or between wizarding and muggle world.

Before the oath is broken, Nicholas Flamel and Albus Dumbledore have the unconditional obligation to protect Maple until he graduated from Hogwarts.

Before the oath is broken, Nicholas Flamel and Albus Dumbledore have an unconditional and unreserved obligation to share the knowledge they have learned with Maple.

The three parties that have reached the oath are all obligated to keep the magical knowledge on soul and its derivatives confidential to the highest degree. Unless all three parties agree to release harmless portion of the knowledge, they must not be disclosed in any form including but not limited to soul spells, soul alchemy, soul potions, etc.

(Omake)

But one day, when Maple's beloved wife asked him about this story, she found that her husband's expression was rather complicated…

"Looking like a helpless little girl being bullied by two bad boys."

"What a terrible metaphor is this?!"

Maple's face instantly turned red, while showing the red symbols of three intertwined swords on the back of his right hand, he hesitated and said vaguely,

"Nonsense! How can matters of scholars be called bullying? I rationally made the most correct choice!"

"Maple…., you are quibbling."

"Damn!"

Maple looked at this wife's devilish smile and seemed to recall the scene again, and complained as if he was giving himself up,

"Whoever saw two old men, who were almost the strongest at the time, suddenly appeared in front of him, and involuntarily hold both of his hands, one on the left and the other on the right, smiling and said they would like to discuss something but the wand arm was not let go…, everyone would have their heart stopped beating alright! It was only because at that time my emotions had not yet been fully developed, otherwise it was possible for me to be scared to death!"
