Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy

"In general, today's trip to Paris is okay." Standing downstairs at Nicoléme's house, Wright held a suitcase in one hand while raising his head and looking up at the place where Nicoléme's house was. On one floor, I thought to myself, "It's Nico Flamel who won't let me live in his house."

Just now, Nicolas Flamel rejected Wright's request to live in the house for free on the grounds that the room the couple was currently in was too small to accommodate three people living together.

So the first thing Wright needs to do now is to find a house to rent.

But finding a house is quite simple now. Ever since he sold the unicorn tail to Ollivander for 6,000 Galleons, Wright no longer has to worry about gold Galleons. things. In addition, there is no need to convert pounds into galleons for use, so the original pounds only need to be enough to support Wright's life in the world of ordinary people.

And since Nicoléme gave him the Philosopher's Stone two days ago, money has become even less important to Wright. If it weren't for the fact that he had plenty of money now, Wright would have turned out ten or eight gold bricks and sold them.

There is a saying that goes well, although money is not everything, nothing is impossible without money.

That afternoon, Wright had already moved into his new residence in Paris.

Since he needed to be taught by Nicoléme during this summer vacation, the place Wright rented was not far from the Sixth District where Nicoléme was located. It was just a few streets away in a certain area of ​​the Seventh District. In a residential building. And after visiting Nicoléme once today, Wright only needs to apparate to go directly to Nicoléme's house in the future, and he no longer has to walk with his feet.

…

Wright had mentioned to Nicoléme before that there are three levels of alchemy: the alchemy of matter and matter, the alchemy of matter and magic, and finally the alchemy of magic and magic.

The most basic and original alchemy is the alchemy of matter and matter. At first, an Egyptian tried to fake base metals into precious metals. Later, this technology gradually developed into a discipline, because it involved the transformation of matter, so alchemy Therefore, it was born and was given the name of alchemy.

The alchemy of matter and matter is also a stage that ordinary people are currently in and will be in for a long time.

The next higher level is the alchemy of matter and magic, which is the stage that Wright has reached now.

However, although Wright has entered the second stage of alchemy, and all the props he refines are the result of the intersection of matter and magic, his level is still at a relatively basic level. Wright is still about a distance from the earth to the moon from his own ultimate goal, which is to "make something out of nothing."

Although Nicoléme was quite satisfied with Wright's learning progress, Wright was not satisfied with his own progress in alchemy. So after Wright's pleading, Nicoléme finally decided to teach Wright step by step how to learn alchemy during this summer vacation, including but not limited to making alchemical props, teaching alchemical concepts, perfecting alchemical techniques, etc.

As early as the early first century AD, some enlightened visionaries in the European wizarding world began to try to get in touch with the alchemy introduced from Egypt. It was also at that time that the beginning of the European Alchemical Period was officially announced.

Alchemy developed rapidly in the early Middle Ages. Many alchemical concepts handed down from ancient times have long been overturned one by one, and many alchemical methods that seemed novel at the time have become out of date. After the prosperous period, countless alchemical concepts and methods were all proposed by the alchemists at that time, and they were overturned and remade through mutual exchanges.

However, after such a long period of time, there are still some most basic alchemical concepts that are widely accepted and recognized by alchemists, and have been consolidated and established in long-term practice.

For example, the power of the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire, and another example is the concept of equivalent exchange.

And as Nicoléme began to personally teach Wright alchemy, his inner strict nature began to be slowly exposed during this period of contact. The original good evaluation of the few alchemy tools made by Wright was directly overturned and changed to a failing grade by him, and he even criticized Wright himself.

"What are the basic ideas of alchemy? Understanding, breaking down, and constructing."

"What do you understand about this dreamy rattle? Is it the nature of magic or is it a magic material? What did you decompose? What did you construct?"

"The alchemy method is rudimentary and the alchemy method is ancient. There is nothing worthy of praise."

"Only this concept of mobile phone calls is still new." Nicoléme held the Mengxiao rattle upside down in his hand and didn't know what he said to it.

But after a while, Wright understood what Nicoléme was talking about just now, because Perenal came over with a cup of black tea, and there was only that cup of tea on the tea tray.

"Why are you still standing here reading?" Nicoléme held the tea cup in one hand and looked at Wright with some surprise. "Don't you know how to use this time to read more books? To refine some new gadgets. That’s fine too.”

It's another Saturday, Wright's first week in Paris.

After these few days of personal instruction from Nicoléme, Wright gradually changed his rough approach of simply adding magic to alchemy props, and instead began to analyze and understand every magic material he would come into contact with, and then decompose each magic material. Create new materials that can still maintain the original magical properties, and finally mix these magical materials together to construct new alchemical props.

This kind of operation is not very difficult for Wright, after all, he performed it in this way when practicing the deformation technique. Because whether it is transfiguration or alchemy, you need to have a sufficient understanding of the magic or ordinary items that exist in the world. Now it is just to practice transfiguration on top of practicing alchemy.

During this period of time, in addition to setting aside a large period of time every day to receive Nicoléme's teachings, in his spare time, Wright also needed to allocate some energy to deal with the two unicorn paintings he obtained in school. skeleton.

At this time, Wright was extremely lucky that when he was in school, he only performed some simple magic dipping operations on the two unicorn skeletons. Otherwise, from the current point of view, any additional means at that time would have been regarded as... What a waste of these two extremely precious unicorn bones!

Now Wright has redefined the refining method of the two knight chess pieces.

Originally, Wright planned to completely process the unicorn bone, then appropriate some additional matching materials from Nicoléme, and then complete the new knight chess piece.

But now Wright changed his original idea and decided to simply use these two unicorn bones that were completely saturated with shadow energy, and then reconstruct the magic structure on the skeleton to complete the production of the knight chess pieces.
