Take control of thunder and lightning from Hogwarts

Chapter 698 Observation (seeking recommended monthly ticket)
After finishing the meeting with Dumbledore, Anduin returned to his manor in Godric's Hollow through any door. After all, today was Christmas, and he didn't intend to stay in Hogwarts forever.

Although it was already late at night, the manor was still full of lively scenes.

There's no way, these non-human creatures in his family are too noisy, but Irene's phoenix is ​​fine, her favorite thing is simple and pure cooking.

Ever since she was rescued from the silver spear by Anduin, she seems to have awakened the talent of a big eater, and consumes a lot of food every day. Although she is the smallest creature in Anduin's family, she has a large appetite. the biggest one.

At this time, Irene was straightening out her slightly fat body, feasting on a roast suckling Tebo warthog. It looked like a starving ghost reincarnated, but she had just had dinner before.

On the other side, Hogg and Shalltear were still the same, jumping up and down in the manor and chasing each other.

And since Anduin's 【Colorful Balls】was listed in the Silver Flash Trading Company, it immediately became the most popular Christmas product, and the two of them have also been addicted to it recently.

As a result, it hurt Qiqi in the manor. The two of them always made the house colorful when they started fighting, and Qiqi always had to chase them to clean up.

This meeting was the same, Hogg and Shalltear clamored for a duel with colored balls in the hall, while Qiqi was bitterly using cleaning spells to deal with those marks.

In contrast, Sol is the quietest, and of course it has something to do with his laziness. This guy sleeps at night and takes a nap during the day. The two of them fought, as if they were watching some sideshow.

Until Anduin returned to the manor, these guys were still making trouble there, and ignored him directly.

But Anduin didn't bother to talk to these idle bastards, since it was Christmas, let them indulge a little bit.

After glancing at the bustling scene in the living room, Anduin turned and went back to his study. He was going to study the Philosopher's Stone he just got as soon as possible.

After sitting down on the research table in the study, Anduin couldn't wait to take out the alchemy treasure that he just got.

After carefully taking the Philosopher's Stone out of the leather bag, Anduin found that the stone looked... quite ordinary.

Yep, just normal.

With its irregular structure and slightly translucent body, it feels like a dark red glass block that can be seen everywhere.

Even if you hold it in your hand at close range, you can't feel any fluctuations in magic power at all, and there are no magic inscriptions at all.

For a moment, Anduin wondered if Dumbledore took it by mistake, or gave him a fake one to blackmail someone.

But Anduin didn't rush to define this stone, he first tried to inject some magic power into the magic book.

But after his magic power came into contact with the Sorcerer's Stone, it almost disappeared out of thin air, like a mud cow entering the sea, or seeping into an abyss.

However, the Philosopher's Stone has not changed at all from the perspective of vision or magic sensing.

But when this happens, at least tell Anduin that the Sorcerer's Stone is real. If it's an ordinary Muggle item like glass or gems, it will either explode directly or have a vision on the surface.

After initially noticing the strangeness of the Philosopher's Stone, Anduin did not continue to act without authorization, but pulled a tray-like prop from the side of the research table, with several movable mechanical tentacles connected to it.

The end of each tentacle is connected to a tool, such as a ring-shaped hollow lamp, a magnifying glass of various magnifications, small pliers that can be moved and operated, and so on.

After squared and fixed the Philosopher's Stone on the platform, Anduin immediately operated these tentacles to carefully observe the physical and magical properties of the Philosopher's Stone.

"The light transmittance is medium, and the surface layer can easily transmit light, but no matter how bright the light source is used in the central part, the internal structure cannot be seen clearly, and the core part does not reflect light at all. When it is illuminated by light, it will be like a black hole. Approaching light sucks away."

"However, from the light source that was sucked away, it can be roughly judged that the core part should be a 5-15 mm circular area."

"At the same time, during the observation, no magical inscriptions were found on the surface. Even if you hit it with the [Injuryless Hammer], the inscriptions could not be displayed. It is neither a clear inscription nor a dark inscription. This magic stone is simply It seems to be formed naturally, and there is no trace of artificial creation at all."

"The performance in terms of magic power is amazing. On the Philosopher's Stone, magic power is almost everywhere. The crystal structure of the entire Philosopher's Stone seems to be a solid that is completely condensed with magic power."

"But the magic power on it shows great inertia and has a very unified integrity. Because of this, it is difficult to perceive the magic power on it through perception, and the injected magic power will be quickly absorbed and absorbed by the same into a similar structure."

"However, the Philosopher's Stone does not actively absorb magic power from the outside world, so isn't its energy source supplied by absorbing free magic power like ordinary magic circles?"

Anduin stared at the table in amazement. After just observing for a while, the performance of the Philosopher's Stone has exceeded his cognition. Is this really an alchemy product?Doesn't it need energy?Or is it like a battery that needs to be recharged periodically?
With all kinds of doubts, Anduin began to try to extract magic power from the Sorcerer's Stone. Since injecting magic power is like sinking nothing, how about sucking out magic power?

Thinking of this, Anduin took out his wand, then tapped lightly on the red gemstone, and then a faint milky white silk thread was sucked into the wand backwards like green smoke.

"This..." Anduin couldn't help but widen his eyes as he felt the magic power drawn from it.

"What pure magic, no, this can't even be described as pure, it's simply primitive!"

Anduin discovered that the magic he extracted from the Philosopher's Stone was not the same as the free magic he extracted from other wizards, magical animals, magic items, and even with energy-absorbing spells.

No matter what way the magic power is absorbed or extracted, there will be some impurities more or less. Even relatively pure free magic power will still leave some traces of it being used.

It is also because of this that Anduin basically does not consider directly absorbing magic power from the outside world. He once invented an external magic power source in an attempt to indirectly increase his own magic power reserves through this method.

But after many attempts, Anduin found that as long as the magic power is not produced by the wizard's own body, it needs to go through a process of assimilation when it is absorbed into the body. If there are more impurities, it will even harm him.

Therefore, although Anduin has a large number of magic items enchanted with [Energy Absorption Curse] and [Disability Curse], he seldom casts them directly when facing the enemy, because the magic power from the outside world enters his energy system In the end, not only is there no benefit, but it will have a negative effect similar to interfering with the output of magic power.

When he was fighting the 'Runive Snake', the reason why he finally dared to absorb more than 1000 points of magic power from high altitude was because they were transformed by the thunder and lightning summoned by Sol.

Thor has a very close spiritual connection with him, and the magic power related to Thor is relatively high. In addition, Anduin's own level 5 wild thunder can transform natural thunder and lightning into highly friendly magic power to feed back to himself.

But even so, rashly using this kind of magic power not produced by himself still caused great damage to his body.

At the same time, because of this, the magic power absorbed by Anduin's permanent energy-absorbing spell inscribed on An Mie before was only supplied to An Mie himself, and he never thought of using that magic power on himself.

And the ability to absorb and purify life from living beings, which is promoted to the sacred artifact [Destroyer], is very rare.

But the magic power on the Philosopher's Stone seems to have just been born from the world, without any impurities, and Anduin can even absorb the magic power into his body, and can use it directly without any transformation.

"Based on this alone, the Philosopher's Stone is worthy of being a treasure of alchemy. The magic power extracted from it is simply cleaner than that transformed by Destroyer. Although the traces will not cause any side effects to me, if I am not proficient in wild mines and not its owner, it will also cause harm."

"But the magic power in the Philosopher's Stone is a bit exaggerated. These primitive magic powers can be absorbed by almost anyone at will, and there is no need to worry about harming yourself."

Anduin let out a long breath, then gently picked up the Sorcerer's Stone, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, the more proficient in alchemy and magic scholars, the more they can feel the strangeness of the Sorcerer's Stone.

If he hadn't known Nicole Flamel, he would never have believed that it was an alchemy product.

"Having this kind of pure raw magic, being able to turn stones into gold and create elixirs is nothing too magical."

"Since I can't see the magic text in your body, let me see how much magic power you have. Maybe if you find your energy source, you can peep into the source of this primitive magic power." An Duin murmured to the Philosopher's Stone.

Afterwards, Anduin put away his wand, directly held the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, and used the energy-absorbing spell to continuously extract the magic power from it.

At the same time, every time a certain amount of magic power is extracted, Anduin will re-measure the weight, size, and properties of the magic stone, trying to find its changes.

But after several hours of tossing, Anduin discovered a frightening fact!

He has extracted at least 3000 ticks of magic power from the Philosopher's Stone, which is equivalent to the magic power reserves of 6 ordinary adult wizards, but the Philosopher's Stone has not shown any signs of deterioration in quality, and he can't even feel that the magic power in its body has decreased.
