Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 716 Alchemy Contest Final
"The so-called alchemy is a long and great science. As early as thousands of years ago, it was created by our ancestors of wisdom and flourished more than once with the ancient magic of ancient times. Now this discipline Although it has been gradually forgotten by many people, I still want to tell everyone here-its charm will definitely shine in the near future!"
"In fact, we know that even though many friends don’t know much about alchemy nowadays, there is still someone who is well-known to everyone. Yes, he is the last person in history to refine the Philosopher’s Stone and enjoy it. A great alchemist who has lived for more than six hundred years, Mr. Nico Lemay!"
On the east side of the wide arena, Mr. Hohenheim, who is sitting in the middle of the judges' bench, is standing there at the moment, making an opening speech for the final stage with great momentum.
For him, a researcher who has spent half his life as an alchemist, alchemy has become everything in his life.As for Nicol Lemay, he has naturally become his academic idol since childhood.
Therefore, he has always given praise to both alchemy and Nicol Lemay without hesitation.
"...And just today, the twelve contestants who have worked hard in this arena and stood out with their excellent alchemy level, the first championship of this international alchemy competition is already welcoming you Wave!"
Having said this, Mr. Hornheim swung his right arm forward, and the voice amplified by the sound reinforcement curse was full of excitement.
"Next, it's time to announce today's topic!" He said loudly, "Twelve contestants, remember what I just mentioned? Mr. Nicol Lemay refined what can be called a major alchemy The Philosopher's Stone at the pinnacle! Yes, you are all familiar with the Philosopher's Stone, right?"
At this moment, both the players on the field and the guests in the audience were all dumbfounded for the first time-what do you mean?Is the subject of the final stage the Philosopher's Stone?
Even if it is a joke, I believe no one will say such things.The difficulty of making the Philosopher's Stone is naturally unimaginable, and even some audiences who don't understand alchemy can understand it.
Fortunately, Hohenheim didn't pause for too long, so he quickly continued.
"Today's topic is a research topic that has a lot to do with the refining of the Philosopher's Stone. The twelve contestants present here all have exquisite alchemy skills. Presumably this topic will let everyone show their skills, so next— —"
At this time, Hornheim finally exclaimed in excitement:
"Twelve contestants, please show us the activation and refinement of material elements!"
In alchemy theory, matter is composed of various elements.And those elements can be divided into four categories according to their nature and state, namely "qi", "water", "earth" and "fire".
It is said that the Philosopher’s Stone is a kind of magical substance that is refined and synthesized by an alchemist. It has four characteristics at the same time.Although it is generally called "stone" by people, the specific state can be ever-changing.
In order to refine the Sorcerer's Stone, ancient books mention the special process of "activation of a single element".Even the emerald stone slab named "Jade Jade Record" unearthed in a secret room of a pyramid in Egypt also mentioned the peak of alchemy and the gestation of life.
Therefore, this subject has always been an important research direction in alchemy circles.Although the Philosopher's Stone could not be made, the academic exploration of element activation has made some progress.
Right now, Maca is sitting in his seat.He looked at Hornheim's cheerful expression, but he still couldn't calm down.
This topic was decided by the jury based on his suggestions and finally announced the legacy of Nico Lemay.But now, obviously the players have already begun to prepare, but he can't focus on the game before him.
"...Is it because Ens Taun disappeared inexplicably?" While he was paying attention to a series of situations in the arena, he was still thinking about the reason why he couldn't settle down in his mind. "It's because of the bald head. That weird prediction in memory?"
Today's final question should have been something he was also quite interested in, because he had always been curious about how the ancient summoning magic gave life to the deformed matter.The activation of this alchemy should have given him a lot of inspiration.
However, he is completely uninterested in this final stage.
Regarding Ens, people inside and outside the school have arranged a search, and even the Ministry of Magic has already sent a letter to inform.As one of the person in charge of the event, he can't go away at least in the final stage. It is impossible to find someone for help for the time being.
Gently shook his head, Maca put aside the hesitation in his heart, and focused his attention on the players on the court as much as possible.
So far, the twelve players who made it to the finals did not exceed his expectations.There are three African delegations, the Mesopotamia joint delegation also has three, and the remaining six are from Egypt, Greece and other countries with relatively outstanding alchemy history.
In fact, the original and Indian magic circles should have enough possibility to enter the finals.Just because of the bald old man, the Indian delegation completely lost the right to participate before it arrived. People can't comment on what a pity they are.
It was the only individual alchemist who passed all the way and reached the final stage, which obviously made many people feel surprised.
"Mr. McLean, isn't that the player you mentioned on the first day?"
Next to Maca, the Minister of Magic, Scrimgeour, who also came to watch the finals, also found the handsome wizard in a Muggle tuxedo. "It is indeed Mr. McLean. Not only is he powerful, but he has extraordinary vision. ."
Scrimgeour had barely praised others for most of his life. This was the case when he was the head of the Auror office, and now he has no chance to say such things as the minister.Therefore, speaking of these words of praise at the moment, it is simply awkward.
"Don't say that. At that time, I just guessed casually. How could I think that now he would really make it to the final?"
While speaking, Maca also looked at the middle-aged wizard in the field.From him, it can be clearly seen that the other party seems to be carefully depicting a formation on a stone slab on the ground.
In the beginning, the players were almost the same, and for a while, there was nothing surprising.
"This is the reason why modern alchemy will gradually become lonely. Even if it is deliberately selected more interesting competition questions, it is always a bit boring at first. If it is ancient alchemy, it seems to be like a duel of magic. What a wonderful scene!"
Maca thought about it, and waited patiently.
Fortunately, these players in the field are already quite high-level alchemists, and they are all very efficient in portraying alchemy patterns.Not long after, the unique style of every alchemist was gradually revealed on the field.
For example, a player in Mesopotamia has erected six stone pillars around the formation he drew. The alchemy symbols and patterns on the pillars are different.As he positioned the stone pillars one by one, those symbols and patterns lit up with a faint brilliance.
For another example, the player of the Egyptian delegation placed a suspicious gold-inlaid coffin on the formation, and before the start of the competition, he came with this coffin on his back, which made many wizards taboo. Keep away.
For example, the old witch in Africa actually got a huge crucible from nowhere, and stirred the liquid inside next to the strange formation that had been completed, and there was a huge mass of deep Purple smoke.
These three players can be said to be strong contenders for today's final championship.
Maca moved her nose slightly on the sidelines, sniffed the slightly diffused purple mist in the air, and soon couldn't help frowning.
"The spine of the fire dragon, the stems and leaves of the black root grass, the slurry of dead thorns, the living Sahara amoeba, the blood of a large number of mountain monsters... and the powder of mandrake?" He roughly smelled himself Counted the materials, and then wondered, "What's the use of putting these things together?"
Since Sarah was still pretending to recover from her injuries in the school hospital today, his question was destined to be answered only when the results came out.
Next, the various changes in the arena continued, and gradually became noticeable.
First of all, the player from Mesopotamia. The contestant who erected the stone pillars had already lit up all the stone pillars.Immediately, with the space in the middle of the refining array being retracted and undisturbed by the naked eye, a mass of silver material that did not know what was slowly formed.
Under today's bright sunshine, the group of silver reflects a metallic color, which looks very beautiful.
And followed by the "coffin porter" in Egypt.
The feeling on his side is not so good, because many viewers have clearly seen that the coffin in the formation of him will vibrate every few moments, as if something will happen at any time It seemed a little scary to open the coffin board directly.
In addition to the two of them, most of the other contestants also had some strange movements.Only the old witch in Africa and the tuxedo alchemist, one is still stirring the big tank slowly, the other is still drawing and making formations, making people completely unsure of what they will make. .
"Well?"
It was at this time that Macalli raised his eyebrows, as if he felt something near the two.
