Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 508 The Development of Alchemy
Mo Lin stood up bravely, thought for a moment, and said, "Is it the essence of alchemy? Let a stone have special abilities—well, it is still magic. The essence of alchemy should be to add magic to something, right?"

Mo Lin was not very sure, he had never been involved in these matters before.

But Arnock nodded and said: "Yes, the essence of alchemy is magic. No matter how magical it is, it is always inseparable from magic. Just like the Philosopher's Stone you have heard, it was originally a special spar. But all kinds of ingenious magics have been cast, and these magics together are enough to turn some herbs into potions that maintain body functions and not age—the essence is still to apply magic to a spar.”

Arnock motioned Molin to sit down, and then continued: "But we can imagine, can alchemy only work on stone or metal? Why can't it work on a piece of paper or a piece of wood? Actually In fact, if you choose to cast this kind of magic on paper or wood, it can also be done, but the magic that needs to be taken into account is different from that of stone, which expands the concept of alchemy."

Arnock showed the wand in his hand, his skinny fingers slid across the wand, and the wand emitted strange magic waves, sinking into the air, and then golden ripples appeared in the air, spreading out brilliantly.

"It's like the magic wand in everyone's hands. It's not just a piece of wood. It's fused with the hair of a magical creature or nerve feathers, etc., and then the wood is made strong by casting special magic. It can be used To guide the magic in everyone's body, so - making a wand is also a kind of alchemy."

Arnock's words made everyone feel particularly surprised, because in their view, alchemy should be the kind of tall and tall that can turn stones into gold and live forever, but Arnock's point of view seems to subvert their cognition.

It turns out that making wands is also a kind of alchemy.

"Magic has developed to the present, and the concept of alchemy has also been expanded. In the past, people didn't know much about magic, so alchemy only refers to casting magic on stones, but now we can cast magic on some iron sheets to make The golden snitch can be cast on wood to make a flying broom—this all belongs to the category of alchemy, so this is why our class is also called the alchemy class."

Anok's explanation didn't seem to satisfy everyone. On the contrary, some people were a little disappointed.

"So we can't learn anything about making the Philosopher's Stone?"

"Is there no way to learn the alchemy technique?"

Many students muttered that if alchemists are used to study boring things like magic wands or flying broomsticks in the future, then it seems useless to learn them, because these things can be bought and do not need to be done by themselves.

"That's right, if you are simply interested in turning stones into gold and immortality, then I suggest you take other courses. This course is not suitable for you. The study of magic equipment is only suitable for those students who like to explore. Study this course." You don’t have to take it as a way out, but it can bring a lot of help to your life in the future.”

"For example? Professor." Mo Lin raised his hand and asked.

"From a simple point of view-the flying broom is broken, you can repair it yourself, the magic eraser is used up, you can make one yourself, like those skipping candies and color-changing inks from Weasley's Whiz Workshop, I can teach you how to do- "

Arnock seemed to find it interesting to do these things, and he said: "From a more profound perspective, when you encounter a black magic item that cannot be cracked, you can crack it by studying the magic principle distribution of this item. For example A door that cannot be opened, if you learn to analyze, there is no door that you cannot open."

Arnock winked at Maureen.

Mo Lin suddenly remembered that the last time he was in the Ministry of Magic, the door to the warehouse for storing black magic items was locked. Those elite wizards were helpless, but he was the only one who cracked the door by relying on the magic principles taught by Professor Arnock. .

It turns out that the study of magic equipment is such a thing. Mo Lin has been in contact with alchemy for a long time without knowing it, even he himself has not noticed.

"Okay, I'll give you 5 minutes to think about it. If you think this course is meaningless to you, you can leave—it's still too late to choose other courses." Anok said with a smile.

What an unpretentious teacher, he doesn't even try to persuade international students.

Morin muttered, the teachers of other elective courses are eager to have more students to take their own courses, which will help their teaching reputation. It's really strange that a professor like Arnock can still teach as he pleases.

Soon four students stood up and left the classroom.

Then there were only seventeen people left in the class.

Maureen felt sorry for those students who left, and murmured in his heart: "You probably don't understand that it's Bobby Singer's name?"

Arnock is a person who even flatters the Minister of Magic. He designed many institutions of the Ministry of Magic. Such a famous person offers courses, but the number of people attending the courses is so small!

But before that, many parents didn't know that this year's magic device research class was taught by "Bobby Singer", otherwise they would definitely let their children take this class.

Among other things, even Mo Lin only found out when school started yesterday.

Maureen took a look and found that Sweet had also taken this course.

"Oh, there are seventeen more."

Arnock looked a little disappointed, and Mo Lin thought that Arnock might only want to keep ten students at most, so that teaching would be easy and convenient.

Morin knew Anok's abilities well, even those who were not interested in this course could learn a lot of interesting knowledge from Anok.

It's a pity that people nowadays are too impetuous. Only in the third grade, the family has already started planning the future for the child, thinking about the future of entering the Ministry of Magic and so on. It is no longer purely for interest, but for work and study. The down-to-earth magic craftsman dismissed it, and wondered if it was a tragedy in the wizarding world.

"Okay, since there are so many people, let's start the class." Arnock regretted.

so many people?Only seventeen, okay?
Maureen muttered involuntarily.

"Professor, what kind of textbooks should we use? We didn't buy textbooks—" Molin raised his hand.

Because before deciding what to choose, many students have not yet purchased textbooks, and usually wait until they are determined before going to mail order.

"Teaching materials?" Arnock was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized, "Oh, I forgot about teaching materials, yes, teaching materials are needed for class--I haven't read any teaching materials yet, let me tell you about this matter. Forget it."

Everyone was stunned again, this, this class can forget about the textbooks?

What classes do they have?
But Arnock waved his hand indifferently: "There is no need to worry about textbooks. It doesn't matter if you don't need textbooks in my class. What I don't like the most is to teach you according to the textbooks. It's so boring. Why don't you You look at the textbooks and learn by yourself—to take my class, you only need to prepare a brain, a curiosity to explore, and a notebook.”

The students looked at each other in blank dismay, and there was no teaching material for class, which was really strange in this way.
