I, the leader of the secret sect, will do great things in the infinite world!

At this time, Snape's bat-like figure quickly appeared from the school. He didn't even walk as fast as before, but ran quickly regardless of his manners, while looking ferocious.

Greasy Snape's roar came from far and near.

"You stop for me!"

Li Lin, who was already standing at the end of the bridge, changed his expression, took a breath, turned around and ran away, not forgetting to say harsh words.

"You chase me, if you catch me, I'll kill you hehehe."

Snape, who was so angry that he was dizzy, pulled out his wand and said, "God's Edge..."

Dumbledore snatched his wand away with a slap: "Calm down, Severus - what's wrong with you?"

"This goddamn bastard, Flobber caterpillar born out of a toad's skin..." Snape scolded for the first time without restraint, "he took my Felix Elixir!"

The potion master's eyes were red and he gestured with his hands: "Then - a big bottle!"

"When he comes back, I will duel with him!"

Dumbledore and McGonagall looked at each other and decided to kindly not point out that Snape would be beaten by Li Lin.

......

Devon is located in the southwest of England, bordering Cornwall to the west and Dorset and Somerset to the east. It has two separate coastlines.

Nicole Flamel and his wife lived in seclusion here. Half a century ago, they lived in the European continent and served as patrons of the magic school Beauxbatons.

In that letter, Nico Flamel included a magical gadget, which was a butterfly made of gold foil. After Li Lin arrived in Devonshire, it automatically flew out of Li Lin's lapel. came out and hovered about one meter in front of him.

This is the signpost.

The letter also included a map that was burned after reading. However, as the map was burned, a beating arrow appeared in front of Li Lin's eyes.

If these are all things that alchemy can achieve... then Nicole Flamel may be more versatile than Li Lin thought.

Half an hour later, Li Lin walked out of the golden-purple twilight. The continuous transfer made his body look a little unreal, and Li Lin's temples even had a little frost.

In front of him is a dilapidated gravel road. In the eyes of Muggles, this road is a dead end road. In Li Lin's eyes, this gravel road leads directly to a manor in the forest not far away.

The gray masonry walls are covered with vines, and there are gargoyle-like sculptures standing on the top of the walls. Except for this road paved with gravel, the surrounding trees, shrubs, grasslands and lakes seem to be in line with the temperament of this manor. Everything seemed very precise.

A man dressed in black was standing on the side of the road. His etiquette was so perfect that no mistakes could be made, but there was a vague sense of stiffness in every move.

The cheap Li Lin reached out to pat his head.

The waiter in black hesitated to speak, but as Li Lin was a distinguished guest with an invitation letter, this innocuous behavior had no offensive intention, so he really had no reason to protest.

For alchemy life, "no reason" means no action.

Finally, just as Li Lin was about to take off the waiter's pants and take out the crowbar to poke him, Nicole Flamel's voice sounded from the waiter's mouth.

"Please don't bother my servant, Mr. Aatrox. I will wait for you in the living room."

Li Lin curled his lips and said to the waiter in a colonel-like manner: "You, lead the way and do the work."

The waiter who won't hold grudges nodded silently, turned around and walked towards LeMay Manor.

......

Nico Flamel, or according to translation convention, you can call him Nicolas Flamel.

From the appearance, he looks like he is in his 70s. His hair is still black, but his mustache is completely white.

Deep wrinkles are engraved on Grandmaster's face, especially the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, which are curved and slightly upturned, making him look like he is always smiling.

He appeared in front of Li Lin in a wheelchair, with a gentle tone: "I heard your name from Dumbledore, your understanding of economy and wealth is beyond my imagination, even Dumbledore is amazed at this .”

Nico Flamel shook his finger, and the wheelchair automatically turned in a direction, and it carried Nico Flamel closer to the burning fireplace.

A silver arm stretched out from the wall, picked up a blanket, and covered Nicola Flamel's knees. Several alchemical maids passed through the porch and brought them steaming tea.

Li Lin unceremoniously picked up the biscuits and ate them with crunching sounds. He has always had a good appetite.

"Even I, who lives in seclusion here, have heard about the economic tsunami that has swept through the wizarding world." Nico Flamel's voice was gentle and beautiful. He first praised Li Lin, "Being able to maintain the situation during this crisis The lives of many British wizards are truly incredible young talents, and they will definitely be written into history books in the future."

"I have been lucky enough to live for many years. I have knowledge, but I am definitely not as smart as young people. I wanted to invite you to come over for a short exchange to answer some of your doubts. I think these questions are almost the same Something to do with the Sorcerer's Stone."

Having said that, he stopped, and looked at Li Lin with piercing eyes hidden behind the bridge of his hooked nose, to be precise, at the crowbar in Li Lin's hand.

"But it's different now, it's different." Nico Flamel asked straight to the point, "I'm sorry for asking the question first. The magic weapon in your hand seems to have been cast using a special method. Made of it?"

134 Rarely serious Li Lin

"Or to describe it in another way..." Nicole Flamel put his hands on his knees, staring at Li Lin's crowbar with clear eyes, "It's already part of your body, yes ?"

Li Lin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Yes, she is very beautiful."

On the dark green table, a brand new card was flipped over. On the shimmering golden fluid background, abstract strokes outlined a hale and hearty old man. He had no facial features, and his soft white hair fell on his shoulders.The old man stretched out his index finger and thumb, holding a breathtaking red gemstone in his palm.

["The Great Master" Nicole Flamel]

[Level: Third Mark]

[Nature: cast, lamp]

[Nicole Flamel is unswervingly walking on the path he believes, with a bright future ahead. 】

["Grand Master" Nico Flamel believed in the principle of equivalent substitution, and he was also good at interpreting the ciphers of mirrors and the celestial phenomena of the sun and moon.He is good at lamps and even better at casting. 】

[When Nico Flamel holds the Philosopher's Stone, he will be regarded as an incomplete immortal! 】

"The Philosopher's Stone gave me a lot of time, so I learned a lot." Nicole Flamel laughed, his voice getting louder, "You seem to know nothing about alchemy."

"As long as I recognize my weakness, I will be invincible." Li Lin answered the question.

The Grand Master smiled and shook his head. His eyes were as clear as the cleansed sky.

"Yes, yes, knowing yourself is the first lesson in alchemy."

"I have always believed in the principle of equivalent substitution... I think it would be reasonable to use the alchemy I have mastered to exchange it with your casting method."

Li Lin withdrew his gaze, looked up and down the old man who was rumored to have practiced the Philosopher's Stone, and suddenly realized: "So it's a neutral NPC who sent the mission, then I will take it."

Nico Flamel, who didn't quite understand what Li Lin was talking about, felt a little uneasy. This young man didn't seem to be normal...

After clearing his throat, this one of the few great masters in the history of magic snapped his fingers, and a wall turned over automatically. With the movement of Nico Flamel's fingers, lines of Latin were written on the wall.

"As we all know, the term alchemy originated in ancient Egypt, when wizards tried to disguise base metals as precious metals."

Nico Flamel pointed to the line of Latin formulas: "For example, an alloy made of copper and zinc can be very close to gold in appearance and hardness."

"The most important thing left by the Egyptians to alchemy is the Jade Record, which is the key engraved on an emerald slab. It is the earliest alchemy book in the world, and all alchemy is born from it."

"Then, time came to the ancient Greek era. The greatest contribution of those philosophers to alchemy lay in the philosophizing of alchemy. The three sages of the Athens school, which are well known to the world, induced the theory of elements in primitive alchemy."

Having said this, Nico Flamel stopped and looked at Li Lin, "You don't even know what the theory of elements is, do you?"

"Of course I know that." Li Lin, who had a guilty conscience, talked about him forcefully.

Of course Nico Flamel could not fail to see that Li Lin knew nothing about it.

"Well, it seems that you have to make up for the lessons." Nico Flamel smiled hoarsely, "But that's good, I think we all have the basis for trading."

He raised his hand, and a black-clothed servant driven by alchemy put a somewhat yellowed manuscript into his hand.

"Part of my manuscript is recorded on the eve of refining the Philosopher's Stone." Nico Flamel said, "There is no trick to refining the Philosopher's Stone, and my behavior at that time was almost suicide, so this can be regarded as my 's will."

[Esoteric Book: "The Testament of Nicholas"]

[Written in Latin by the French alchemist Nicolas Flamel on the eve of refining the Philosopher's Stone, this document is often found in manuscripts elsewhere, and it is rumored that the key to immortality is hidden in it . 】

[This manuscript mainly records the alchemist's own skills after being inspired by a certain glorious angel.This manuscript considers the process of alchemy to be essentially "the transformation of things."The book records multiple alchemical techniques beyond the imagination of the world, and describes the various hidden meanings behind alchemy and astrology in an extremely detailed and pragmatic way...]

[After reading it completely, you can get the fourth-order secret biography of Remnant Canon. 】

[After reading it completely, there is a certain chance of getting a copy of the book. 】

Li Lin looked at the manuscript, and his eyes showed undisguised greed.

Nicole Flamel was not surprised by this. If Li Lin was not moved by this, he would even have some headaches-the Philosopher's Stone cannot be traded.

But Li Lin will not hand over the crowbar. After all, the crowbar is equivalent to his handle in a sense. It is naturally a good thing for Nian Huihan to hold it. If Nico Flamel is to play with it... ....

Li Lin, who had no lower limit, suddenly felt a chill.

But "Nicholas' Will" is very important to him. As the master of all alchemy in the Harry Potter world, the value of this esoteric book is even recognized by the system.

"I need an alchemy workshop." Li Lin sat on the chair and tapped his forehead with a crowbar repeatedly, "This crowbar is a part of my body, so it is impossible to give it to you, but I will refine the next strange item soon... At that time, you can watch the whole process."

He had a premonition that he would forge a second magical object here to step into the second mark.

"Well, I think this is quite fair, isn't it?" Nico Flamel said with a smile, "After all, what I gave is not the most precious thing, so it belongs to you. Besides, your alchemy workshop is here In the deepest part of this corridor, if you want to start your casting process, you can ask the alchemist servant to inform me."

He handed the manuscript to Li Lin, then turned around and steered the wheelchair out.

With the departure of the great master, a certain huge and invisible pressure went away.

It was an alchemy formation that covered most of Devon County. It was interlocking, complex and exquisite, connected to the ground of Devon County itself, but with the entire manor as its centerpiece.

The whole manor is centered on Nicole Flamel himself, which can be said to affect the whole body.

After Nico Flamel returned to his room, an alchemist servant appeared at the door and took Li Lin to an alchemy workshop that had been vacant for a long time.

Nicole Flamel was not a widowed old man, he had also accepted some apprentices, but in the eyes of a great master like him, the talents of those apprentices were too low.

When these apprentices died for various reasons, these former alchemy workshops became vacant.

Different from the outside of the door, the space inside the door is covered with a layer of veil-like substance, both the ceiling and the corners are covered with a layer of shining dust, which is alchemy dust to prevent deflagration.

A huge metal chandelier hung from the ceiling in the center of the room. The candlelight swayed and cast a solemn shadow on the shining wall.

Below the chandelier is a huge sand table. Weird chain reaction devices are displayed on the sand table, making full use of every inch of space on the sand table. It looks a little out of place with this alchemy workshop.

135 Li Lin is in retreat

This huge sand table is a first-class lighting wonder. The effect is to achieve a certain deductive result by turning on the interlocking machines on the sand table.

As for the price, every time the machine is turned, a small part of bad luck will be borne - this bad luck will be reflected in some way within a month.

Usually, this kind of bad luck doesn't kill people, it's just troublesome.

But the previous owner of this sandbox, an apprentice in this alchemy workshop, was exposed to bad luck when he was experimenting with alchemical explosives.

A small variable was ignored, which directly caused this stupid apprentice to have his upper body blown off.

Master Li flipped through the manuscript, and with the help of the translation module, some special metaphors were also expressed in straightforward words, such as the "four elements theory" mentioned by Nicole Flamel, which is essentially the basis of Greek alchemy .

Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, the three sages of the Athenian school, believed that everything in the world is composed of four elements: air, water, earth, and fire.

Each element represents four basic properties, namely a combination of two properties: dryness, moisture, cold, and heat.

——Earth is the combination of dryness and cold; water is the combination of moisture and cold; air is the combination of moisture and heat; fire is the combination of dryness and heat.

This idea provides a theoretical basis for the material transformation theory of alchemy. It can be said that the main idea of ​​alchemy comes from this era.

Around the 1st century AD, the alchemists in Alexandria had basically established the basic steps of alchemical practice.

Obtain the raw materials, turn them into dead matter through the blackening process, and then transform them to get the product you want.

This is the prototype of the later alchemical idea of ​​"understanding, decomposing, and reconstructing".

At the same time, the alchemists also mentioned the idea of ​​completing transformation by adding "seeds" to "transformation".

Nicole LeMay believes that this is the earliest pursuit of the "Stone of Philosophy", but he also pointed out in the manuscript that the concept of the Stone of Philosophy was not yet clear at that time, and alchemists even used "Azot" class of things to describe.

Alchemy and astrology were equally closely concerned, and the alchemical symbols commonly used were the earliest directly used astrological symbols.

The sun was used to represent gold, and the moon was used to represent silver. Later, it was slightly changed. For example, the distillation of mercury combined the symbol of mercury and the symbol of distillation.

After Li Lin finished reading this Greek-era manuscript, a sudden heat began to spread from his left hand. He tore off the glove and found that the origin stone crystal on the back of his hand had spread to his wrist.

The condition tends to get worse.

He frowned and flicked his fingers.

laugh.

A piece of brass placed on the table was suddenly burned.

Yes, it was burned.

The white mist-like flames spread like a smoke ring. Within the area covered by the smoke ring, a power that could soothe emotions surged like a sea tide. Li Lin felt as if part of his brain had emptied out.
