The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

On the second Sunday in August, Erwin was notified by Esmeralda to prepare him for the blood graft.

"Ready? How should I prepare?" Erwin asked.

He really didn't know what to do, Master Flamel would not speak to him more than three words a day on average, which made him ignorant of the upcoming operation.

"You can maintain a good mood, which should help increase the success rate." Esmeralda gave a very sincere suggestion.

Erwin scratched his head, he felt that this artificial intelligence girl seemed to be a little smarter, this may be because he often chatted with her this month.

Human beings basically have more or less social needs. The only person who can talk to Erwin here is Esmeralda. Sometimes when he can’t sleep at night, he will ask this artificial intelligence girl to sing a song or talk about it. a joke or something.

What surprised Erwin was that Esmeralda's "singing" was not playing the recorded music, she could actually sing, and she could sing French country tunes and several old-fashioned songs with a very pleasant voice. opera.

This shows that her master has taught her.

Although Esmeralda refused to disclose the life experience of Master Flamel, this does not prevent Erwin from imagining what it would be like to live for more than 600 years.

Nicole Flamel used to have a good life too, but time has turned him into a eccentric old man trapped in a wheelchair. Maybe this is the so-called "wear and tear"?

It seems that for human beings, a lifespan beyond the upper limit does not bring happiness.

On the second day, according to what Esmeralda said, Erwin was "adequately mentally prepared", but he couldn't help shrinking his neck when he saw Master Flamel.

The blood grafting operation was not carried out in the alchemy room, that place was a forbidden area for Erwin.He and LeMay are in the rune room, which is where he first came to undergo physical examination. There is a complex rune array modeled on Wyrmrest Sanctuary, which can run various programs.

Erwin saw a row of shiny lancets and a cauldron boiling an unknown viscous liquid. Before he could take a closer look, Flamel said, "Take off all your clothes first, and then go to the platform Go up, and you can do whatever I ask you later."

Erwin only hesitated for a second, and then obediently obeyed. Anyway, there was only an old man in front of him, so there was no need to be shy.

But as soon as he stepped onto the platform, a barrier of hard and transparent material rose up, which looked like specially strengthened glass, blocking him in all directions. Although he could still remain calm, Erwin suddenly felt I was like an experimental animal locked in a glass box.

Next, a pipe was connected to the huge crucible, and the viscous liquid over there was continuously poured in. After ten seconds, Erwin was completely submerged.

It was an unbearable temperature for ordinary people, but Erwin didn't think it was a serious problem. This should be attributed to the potion that Flamel gave him.Although he was completely submerged, he didn't feel any suffocation. The viscous liquid seemed to be able to directly provide oxygen to his body.

It was amazing.

"Transform into dragon form," Flamel said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the silver-white baby dragon jumped up and down in the large glass box filled with liquid.

After completing the transformation, Erwin found that the lancets had been suspended in the air, and the gleaming tips were all facing him. Although he knew that Flamel would not harm him, Erwin still couldn't bear it in his mind. Some strange thoughts popped up:

Master LeMay, he...couldn't be wanting to eat freshly cut dragon meat hot pot, right?

"Return to human form again." Came Flame's voice without emotion.

The young dragon's body began to change, and began to transform into the shape of a boy. At this time, the runes around it suddenly lit up.

Then Erwin's transformation stopped, as if the pause button was suddenly pressed, and he remained in a semi-transformed state.

But the boy felt that his consciousness seemed to be suspended by clouds and mist, so that he seemed to be able to look at his body from a bird's-eye view. This is a manifestation of the soul temporarily leaving the body. Erwin is quite familiar with it. His first time Got into a similar state when trying to become a Norwegian Spinosaurus.

The lancets suspended in mid-air suddenly turned into lightning, passed through the transparent barrier as if there was nothing, and pierced Erwin's body. In an instant, the blood of the primitive young dragon gushed out and spread rapidly, covering the entire body. The liquid in the entire glass box was stained silvery white.

Erwin shivered subconsciously, but he didn't feel any pain. After all, his soul and body are temporarily separated, but it feels strange to see himself being traumatized to this extent. He already has a little phantom pain up.

However, he soon discovered that those lancets were doing a very precise work in his body under the control of LeMay. He was modifying the bone marrow of a part of the baby dragon into the skeleton pattern of a human teenager.

This is simply... amazing skills, what kind of knowledge reserves and operational precision are required!

The whole process lasted for more than four hours, and Erwin watched the operation with a high degree of concentration, which was enough to be called a medical miracle.

Flamel already looked tired, and the blood of the spreading young dragons was not wasted at all, and condensed into the pattern of blood vessels throughout Erwin's body. The difficulty of this project was no worse than the previous one.

Perhaps the only person in this world who has the ability to do this is the person in front of him.

Of course, the so-called alchemy is no longer simply referring to the technology of refining gold. Its meaning in the current era is a general term for high-end magic technology.

The surgery is over.

The lit rune gradually dimmed, and the effect similar to the stoppage disappeared, and Erwin felt his soul suddenly fall and return to his body.

Unspeakable pain reverberated throughout his body.

While the suspended transformation continued, his human body naturally contained Flamel's reshaped bloodline, replacing bone marrow with bone marrow, fused with blood.

The two forms are originally parallel, and their respective blood vessels are like two trees that do not interfere with each other, and now the branches of one are grafted to the other.

This will naturally cause a very serious rejection reaction. At a certain moment, Erwin almost thought that he was going to die, but he soon felt that there was something in the viscous liquid that wrapped his body that was feeding on his body. The body penetrated, gradually calming down the turbulent tide in his body.

After an unknown amount of time, the glass box shattered suddenly, and there was not much viscous liquid left in it. Erwin collapsed in the shards of broken glass, barely able to raise his strength.

The wheelchair leaned forward, and Erwin barely raised his head, and he could see some kind of inexplicable light in Flamel's eyes.

"Esmeralda, take him back and let him rest."

A cart rushed in, loaded Erwin on it, and left in a hurry. Nicole Flamel also drove the wheelchair out of the rune room. After no one was in the room, Another batch of runes lit up, and the glass shards and other waste quickly disappeared and were cleaned up.

Erwin lay on the bed for three full days, and when he regained consciousness, he found that Flamel was willing to talk to him.

"If you don't want to trigger some catastrophic responses, don't try to transform into a dragon for at least a year," Flamel warned him, "In addition, don't try to use any magic before you spontaneously feel the surge of magic power in the past few days. "

Of course Erwin was kind, but he also felt a little strange, "Has the blood grafting been completed? Doesn't it mean that the whole process will take four months?"

"The next time is your postoperative observation period and recovery period."

"Understood." Erwin said he understood.

"Esmeralda told me that you are very interested in runes?" LeMay said suddenly.

Erwin was taken aback, but then nodded, "Yes, I have successfully tried to make several simple rune codes."

Could it be that the old man has developed a love of talent and is ready to teach me a few tricks?he thought.

"Spells, runes, and potions are the three pillars of wizards. It is rare for you to be able to make elementary runes at such an age, but I don't mind giving you some advice." Flamel's words made Erwin I couldn't help feeling secretly happy in my heart.

This cranky old guy can be cute sometimes.

However, LeMay changed the subject, "But before that, I need to understand your rune level, Esmeralda!"

A piece of parchment was sent to Erwin under the control of the artificial intelligence girl, and the dense text on it made him a little distracted for a while.

"You do this test paper first." The old man said.

Half an hour later, Erwin was sitting upright, while Nicole Flamel was reading his finished test paper.

"It was unexpected..."

Erwin's expression moved slightly.

"Unexpectedly bad." LeMay put down the test paper. Although his face was expressionless, he looked at Erwin as if he was looking at some kind of defective product.

Erwin didn't mind either, of course he knew how well he did on this test paper.

"I thought you had some basic understanding of the magic text, but I didn't expect you to find the corresponding code of the magic text based on the function and then copy it." Lemay shook his head, "This is not possible, it shows that you are not familiar with the magic text. Wen lacks even the most basic understanding."

Erwin thought that it would be great if I could do this, most of the Hogwarts students at the same level didn't even know a single rune letter.

After all, he has only been in contact with magic for more than a year, and this year is mainly learning the four stealth spells and researching transfiguration.

"It's impossible for me to teach you the most basic things." Flamel continued to shake his head, "It just so happens that you can't use magic recently, and the fourth to sixth shelves in the library are all basic books of magic literature. When will you master it completely? , when will I teach you further content."

Erwin couldn't help but take a deep breath, there were hundreds of tomes, and more importantly, the time was very limited, because the master alchemist in front of him only had a few months to live.

It takes a lot of effort to get his advice.

Erwin felt that when Dumbledore brought him to see Nicole Flamel, he must have hoped that he would learn a thing or two from the old man, and he shouldn't let the principal down because of reason.

So without saying a word, he immediately walked to the library.

Behind him, Nicole Flamel in a wheelchair stared at him with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
