The Harry Potter Show Teaser

Chapter 157 Life and the Human Body

"You're still here." Wes, who was confused, was led to the bedroom on the second floor by Hermione, when he heard an unexpected voice.

"Teacher..." Hermione in front rushed in and threw herself into the arms of an old man sitting on a rocking chair. A choked cry sounded in the cabin: "I'm very sorry that I didn't listen to your orders..."

"Old man..." Weiss' trembling hand stretched out slowly, touching the old and shriveled hand.

"What's there to cry about, a big boy?" Nicolas yelled with gray hair, "It's just birth, old age, sickness and death. What you're experiencing now is the laws of nature. It's just like how I sent off my apprentices in the past..."

"Teacher, isn't there still potion here?" Hermione pointed to a bottle of potion on the bedside table with teary eyes and said, "Hurry up and drink it!"

"Hehe, Hermione, no need." The old man coughed and pressed Hermione's raised hand: "The last bottle." He looked at the bed and said affectionately: "Mary is gone...so , Really, no need...Leave it to you..."

Weiss also looked in the direction the old man was looking at, and there was another silver-haired old woman lying there quietly, so quiet that even Weiss didn't notice it.

"Aunt Mary's hair and appearance, and yours..." Hermione also spotted the old woman, and recognized her as the very kind Mrs. Mary after a short look.

"The elixir, that's it." A smile appeared on Nicolas May's withered face, "It keeps us young and delays aging, but who can resist the magic of time?"

"Teacher..." Weiss squatted next to Nicolas and looked up at him slightly: "Actually, we still have other ways, such as people..."

"Hehe, don't you remember? In all the books I showed you, the first sentence is 'the basis of alchemy is equivalent exchange', then, what do you think the human body needs to exchange?" Nico Flamel looked at Weiss kindly and interrupted him.

"I once read a scientific magazine. According to our scientific research there, we only need 30L of water, 20kg of carbon, 4L of ammonia, 1.5kg of lime, 800g of phosphorus, 250g of salt, 100g of saltpeter, 80g of sulfur, 7.5g of fluorine, and 5g of iron. , 3g of silicon, and the other 15 trace elements..." Hermione understood immediately, and spoke eagerly.

"Muggle science is really an interesting thing... Then, what about the human soul?" Nicolas May touched Hermione's head, interrupted her and asked with a smile.

"..." Hermione was suddenly stuck, flustered and didn't know what to say.

"I have read a report from your side, 21.3g, the weight of the soul?" Nicole May continued to say to himself: "What is the soul? You have seen a lot of ghosts, but they really Do you have any weight?"

"Your Aunt Mary and I have been having a dream recently." Nicolas May looked at the old woman lying on the bed again, with a smile on his face again: "In the dream world, people use the alchemy circle to refine Cheng has done a lot of things, including, human body training."

"However, human body training should be prohibited..." Weiss retorted subconsciously, but then immediately shut up without saying a word.

"Yes, then why did you guys want to do that just now?" Nicole May touched Weiss's head again, and said with a smile: "The people there also wanted to make a person, but in the end they didn't Nothing can be obtained, only a pile of rotten meat and bones."

"Marie and I talked about it after waking up." Nicole May motioned the two to look at him together before continuing: "Suddenly she asked me a question, a question that a beginner should know: Is alchemy really Is it an exchange of equal value? What do you think?"

"Of course it's waiting..." Hermione replied immediately, and stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, frowning and thinking.

"Interesting, isn't it? I haven't thought about this question for hundreds of years." Nicole May said with a smile.

"Matter and energy, is it?" Weiss whispered.

"Yes, in simple terms, alchemy is to decompose an object to form another substance. The decomposition and reconstruction in the middle need to be driven by magic power. Then, if the principle of equivalent exchange really exists, our magic power will What was it replaced with?" Nicolas gasped, tapped Weiss's left arm and continued: "Including your best alchemy array, the flames absorbed and released, or the fire element, really Is there no consumption at all?"

"...Yes, it's only about [-]% released." Weiss responded after being silent for a while.

"Hehehe, alchemy..." Nicole May coughed heavily and sighed with a laugh.

"Teacher...you should rest for a while..." Hermione gently helped the old man calm down and said in a low voice.

"By the way, how many times did you turn this time?" Nicolomet looked at Hermione because of Hermione's movements.

"...Three times. Fortunately, I can see you the first time I turn it." Hermione was silent for a while and said, "I will give it to Professor McGonagall when I return to Hogwarts. I promised not to go anywhere else use it."

"Otherwise, are you still going to keep trying? As I said at the beginning, I don't agree with you using it." Nicolas Flamel patted Hermione's hand and said: "A person's time is limited, whether it is the body, It's still spiritual. Look, it's a lot rougher, isn't it?"

"Well, I will..." Hermione buried her head down, not daring to look into the old man's eyes, and not to defend herself.

"Oh, I forgot, the rough ones are my hands, hahaha." Nicole May suddenly laughed out loud, and stretched out her hands to look at them: "This should be the hands of an old man."

"Teacher, do you think that Aunt Mary has already gone to the alchemy world?" Weiss held the old man's hand and interrupted his gaze.

"Hehehe, Mary also said the same thing. Find out the way for me..." Nicole May closed her eyes and said in a low voice, and slowly dropped her hand.

"Teacher..." Hermione quickly grabbed the old man's other hand and held it tightly.

"...Hehehe, it's okay, I still have some things to order." Nicole May opened his cloudy eyes and said: "Wess, turn on the lights, there are some instructions you two haven't written yet. .”

"...Okay, teacher." Weiss looked back at the bright oil lamp and nodded firmly.

"Come on, let me see how to write..." Nicole May waved his hand, and the parchment and quill flew beside him in the air, rustling and writing automatically.

"...Little Hermione, you need to take the initiative in some things. The facts are not what you heard or thought..." Nicole May murmured, a letter 'to Hermione' was automatically sealed, Fly to the top of a stack of letters.

"...Little Weiss...Actually...your mother's alchemy was not taught by me...and...don't think too much...be sure..." Halfway through speaking, the pen and paper seemed to have no support , fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"Teacher..." Hermione felt that the hand she was holding was getting colder, and she fell to the ground softly, crying again.

"Really, the old man who doesn't even bother writing letters..." Weiss pursed his lips and said with red eyes.

He wanted to use his trembling hands to pick up the scattered parchment, but his fingers always loosened weakly, picked it up again, and then let go... Finally, he put it firmly into the envelope that had already been written on the cover, and couldn't help it. Take another look.
