Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 691 Who?
"...Just...that's it?"
In Maca's mind, things like "alchemy" should be very "mysterious".
Before this game, he read a lot of information about this, and deeply realized the complexity and ingenuity of this knowledge.In theory, as long as you have enough information and enough accurate theories, everything can be obtained through transformation.
Coupled with the "mini game" left by Nico LeMay and Sarah's spiritual refinement, he was quite impressed and made him even more impressed with this event where a large number of alchemists gathered. Looking forward to it.
However, when the judges announced the topic of the first batch of competitions, when the contestants started to calculate on the manuscript paper, Maca was suddenly stunned.
And over the judges' bench at this moment, a huge curtain swaying in the wind is spreading out of thin air under the action of a spell, and the text on it can be clearly seen even from hundreds of meters away——
"Turn galena ore into copper spoons."
Seeing all the players in the court leaning over and calculating their movements, Maca was completely dazed.
"That..." He turned his head with a surprised look, and asked Professor McGonagall next to him, "Professor, isn't this a sixth-grade alchemy subject at the Ifamoni School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the United States?"
Yes, although Hogwarts does not have an elective course on alchemy, other schools may not.Just like the Ifamoni mentioned by Maca, they provide students with teaching content of this subject.
"Yeah, what's the matter?" Professor McGonagall nodded and said, "The difficulty of this topic lies in the use of refining to build the shape of the spoon. I think...the more the finer the judges, the higher the score..."
"No, no, I'm not talking about this..." Maca wondered, "Although my knowledge of alchemy may not be enough, but... I put the subject of "lead-to-copper conversion" into a fixed formula. Isn't it a bit too trivial in such a big game?"
"Ah, uh..." Professor McGonagall nodded slightly when he heard the words, "I know what you want to say, but..."
"It's just that this is the level at which most alchemists in the world are currently—"
Fatty Noah, who was sitting in a seat obliquely behind Maca, suddenly bent over and leaned forward.
"Our old man said that there are too few alchemists in the modern magical world, and at least half of them are potions." He said, "Alchemy... Now there is not even a complete list of alchemy symbols, but there are still a lot of amazing formulas and formations drawings left behind, many of which can be seen or not used!"
After the fat man complained so much, Maca understood a lot.If you think about it, if you let him make a rune pattern when the Phoenician magic text list is incomplete, although it can be replaced by other magic text combinations to some extent, it will undoubtedly be more difficult to construct than the original picture. cut.
"So..." He thoughtfully said, "The ability to flexibly use the surviving alchemy symbols to draw more refined and effective refining formations is a manifestation of the disparity in the capabilities of modern alchemists?"
Just as Maca suddenly wondered about the polarization of the strength of modern alchemists, Sarah's voice suddenly rang.
"The selection of the topic by the judges is very reasonable." She said softly, "The essence of alchemy is to transform something into something through the'understanding','decomposition' and'reconstruction' of matter or spirit. A process of something valuable to others... Fundamentally,'giving a sip of water to the dying of thirst' is the same as'giving the poor a gold coin'."
Sarah’s remarks are actually very clear. What she meant is—even if the conversion process and results are inconspicuous, as long as someone needs it, it is valuable.
However, although Maca knew these things, he still lost a lot of interest in the game before him.After all, he didn't plan to study alchemy in depth. When he thought of having to watch the judges evaluate a handful of copper spoons for a while, he felt a sense of sleepiness.
"Forget it, after all, this is only the first round of screening," he secretly calculated, "At least I have seen a few powerful wizards before. I think they will become more exciting in the future... …"
Among today's alchemists, the top batch is much higher than the average.Even if the world's top alchemist Nico Lemay has passed away, there are at least some other geniuses, so this competition is worth looking forward to.
...
In the Slytherin Chamber, Ensi, who had lost consciousness, finally sat up on the cold ground in a daze after being in a coma for a long time.
After he looked around, the deep darkness around him quickly regained consciousness.
With a whistling sound in the pitch black, Ensi touched the wand he had dropped to the ground.When a sentence of "fluorescence flashes" resounded through the empty secret room, a group of soft light spread quickly, sweeping away the darkness around him.
"...How long have I fainted?"
He frowned and tried to remember, but where could he figure out a specific time.
"By the way, before that, did the Slytherin shadow say something?" Ens shook his head, thinking carefully, "Um... don't get lost in the power? No, the front should be still got more……"
At that time, in order to move his "heavy" body to Lu Ying, he expended a lot of energy, and in the end he even lost his consciousness.But only the last words left by Slytherin, he remembered very clearly.
After a while, Ensi, who was sitting on the ground, nodded suddenly.
"He said,'Go into the secret room behind me'...and...what else does Rowena's...oh, it should be the Ravenclaw Tower on the west side?"
Thinking of this, Ensi couldn't help but stand up from the ground, ignoring that his body was already covered with traces of mud and dust, and quickly walked back to the deepest wall of the secret room.
"The secret room behind?" He reached out and knocked on the wall, and the thick texture was fed back to his hand, and the joints that hit the stone wall were a little painful, "Isn't this the secret room...could there be another behind?"
After a short pause, he followed closely back a few steps, and then waved his wand at the wall.
"Alaho Cave opens."
The unlocking spell was not used against the wall, and not to mention whether there was a problem with the stone wall itself, at least his spell did not take effect but it was a matter of course.
Turning the extinguished light ball on again, Ensi checked the wall several times with his wand held up.But no matter how you look at it, it is an extremely thick brick wall, no different from walls in other places.
"Hmm..." He couldn't help feeling a little depressed about this. "The cutting curse can shred rocks, but cutting hard objects is something you only learn in the fifth grade... No, maybe something will open the secret door. The agency?"
Reminiscent of the previous encounter in the Hufflepuff Chamber, Ens naturally had this kind of speculation.It's a pity, how can there be any truth in this world?The so-called "secret door mechanism" he was looking for naturally did not exist.
Ensi, who fumbled back and forth on the walls and corners for a long time, finally reluctantly chose to give up temporarily.
"What Slytherin left behind should be correct, then..." He secretly said, "Yes, the more this wall is not destroyed by anyone, the more likely it is that there will be something left in it..."
Thinking about it this way, although the self-comforting component in it was quite strong, it still made him somewhat more patient.But what should I do next?
I have experienced such things in this secret room, and I have suffered a lot, if I let him go back like this, it would be extremely unwilling.
Ens touched his trouser pocket, still hesitating in his heart.
Fortunately, there are not many chocolates. When there is no supplementary blessing agent, I naturally eat one less.Besides, there are double restrictions on the dosage and time of taking Fu Ling medicine. Even if there are more medicines, he will not make fun of his body even if he knows there are confirmed side effects.
After seeing this ruined Slytherin secret room, whether to use the precious lucky chocolate here has become a real problem.
If you enter the "secret room in the secret room" on the other side of the wall, but find that someone has already boarded it first, you will regret it.
In fact, although Ensi was smart enough, he still had too little time in contact with the magic world.If you change other wizards to face this problem, why should you hesitate?
That is the secret room left by Salazar Slytherin. There are so many people in this world who want to see it without even seeing it!
Fortunately, Ens decided to take a bet after thinking about it for a while.Anyway, he still vaguely remembered that Slytherin seemed to have mentioned something like "gifts", didn't he?
He shook his left hand, took a deep breath, and then took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket.The light from the tip of the right cane fell on the tin foil wrapped in chocolate, reflecting a hazy golden halo.
It is as if, just looking at that layer of halo, you can meet any good things—this is the power of the blessing potion.
Peeling off the golden tin foil, Ensi stuffed the chocolate into his mouth and chewed hard.And in the next second, when the first wisp of sweet chocolate syrup mixed with saliva slipped into the throat, the wonderful feeling of taking the blessing agent invaded his whole body again.
"Oh, what's going on in the fruit..."
When he was about to stretch out the wand in his hand and try to do something, a strange feeling immediately made his arm froze.
"Why...huh? Who?"
