Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

Defense Against the Dark Arts is the class that Stone is looking forward to because it is the only course with practical teaching. The spells learned in the Charms class are a bit more realistic.

With such a mood, Stone walked into the classroom.

However, just two minutes into the class, he was completely disappointed.

The smell of garlic filled the entire classroom and lingered for a long time.

This was okay, barely bearable, but the teaching level was unbearable. According to the script, Professor Binns was better than him - at least the ghost didn't stutter.

He was a little curious, why did the school recruit such a professor?

It didn't take long for Anthony to give the answer:

"The mysterious person planted a curse on the position of Professor of Defense Against Dark Arts. It must be changed every year to minimize the damage of the curse, so not many people dare to apply for this position, so..."

"Ok."

After enduring the torture, Stone quickly went to the auditorium.

Recently, he has been studying "Runes and Alchemy".

In addition to the previous theory, there are some talismans listed in the second half of the book, but very few, because when the talisman was created, it had a strong personal style. The shape of the talisman may be seen by outsiders, but they do not know If you imitate the order of the description, it can easily lead to extremely serious consequences.

As for the talismans that can be included in the book, it is still unclear how difficult it is. The safety must have been repeatedly verified, so it is suitable for getting started.

Everything is ready except for the carving knife. Counting the time, the carving knife is already on the way and I will be at school today.

Suddenly, there was a sound of flapping wings outside the auditorium, and in an instant, a group of owls flew in.

After searching for a moment, Stone saw Nyx, but before he saw it, Nyx had already spotted him and flew over.

Stone raised his left arm, and after Nyx stood firm, he took the box from her mouth and fed her some water and food.

Feathers slid across his face, Nyx fluttered and took off, opening the box.

The box contained a cowhide knife bag, rolled up with five carving knives of different sizes. They were all made of steel. The handles were very long and round, and the tips of the knife reflected a cold light.

He pulled one out, flipped his wrist and waved it back and forth a few times, testing its weight and balance - nothing wrong with it.

"Not bad." Stone put back the carving knife with satisfaction and left the auditorium.

The weapons have arrived and it's time for actual combat.

... ...

When the owl came, Hermione set her sights on Stone, watching his reaction and expression throughout the process, with a smile on her face the entire time.

After Stone left, she also withdrew her eyes.

Suddenly, the conversation across the long table caught her attention.

"Ron, someone broke into Gringotts illegally." Harry pointed to the newspaper, "Look, it says, 'It is said to be the work of an unknown dark wizard. The goblins of Gringotts confirmed that someone broke in, but repeatedly Emphasizing that there was no theft, the vault No. 713 at the scene of the incident had been withdrawn earlier in the day'

"Strange, that warehouse is the one Hagrid and I went to."

The sound was so loud it was hard not to hear it, and Hermione squinted her eyes in thought.

... ...

Wood is the most common material for talismans, but wizards in the past believed that every tree has a spirit, so they would only pick up naturally fallen branches for alchemy.

Although I don't know if this statement is correct, today's wizards have continued this habit.

After picking up some large branches, Stone returned to the dormitory.

After cutting and polishing the branches, he got a square wooden sign.

Then, he took out the middle model of the carving knife, pointed it at the center of the wooden sign, and instantly, a steady stream of magic power was transmitted.

He drew up along the center, drew out an inch, then smoothly changed direction, and drew a certain length diagonally downward to the right.

This is a rune called (laguz) which also has many meanings and here it means 'intuition'.

At the top of the 'intuition', Stone drew another vertical line, and two diagonal lines extended on both sides one third of the way above the vertical line.

This trident-like rune is called (Algiz), which here means 'spiritual power'.

In the vertical line between the two runes, Stone drew three (Isa). It is a vertical line, but the writing rules of the runes do not have any order, so it is used horizontally here, and the meaning is 'concentrate oneself' will'.

One 'intuition', one 'spiritual power', three 'concentrated self-will', and five runes, which are relatively complicated.

But "more complex" obviously cannot satisfy Stone. The reason why he chose this is because there are eight five-rune structures in this rune spectrum.

According to the map language, they extend to eight directions: due east, due south, due southwest... and form a structure similar to a rudder.

And its name is:

【Helm of Shock】

The eight structures need to be exactly the same, the direction cannot be wrong, and the strokes cannot be frustrated. It is very difficult.

Stone gradually entered the state.

With the obstruction of his glasses, he could not use his eyes to analyze, but the context and direction of the talisman became increasingly clear in his mind.

The sound of the carving knife cutting through the wood was endless. Magic power was injected into the talisman along the carving knife, and the pattern was formed. Stone stopped the carving knife.

The talisman spectrum was engraved on the talisman fork, but it was not completed yet.

To make it work, it needs to be activated by a spell. Stone calls this the 'consecration ceremony'.

The consecration spell is compiled based on the talisman, which is regarded as the alchemist's 'anti-counterfeiting mark'. The incantation of this talisman is recorded. If you design the talisman yourself later, you will have to compile it yourself.

Stone took out his wand and coughed lightly. After all, it is the last procedure, which can directly test whether the previous portrayal is successful.

He pointed his wand at the talisman and shouted:

"The center of my eyebrows can hold the rudder of shock!"

The moment the spell was uttered, all the magic power in Stone's body was drained out, and he fell to the ground with a 'plop' without any strength.

The wooden sign floated up, and red rays of light gathered in it, penetrated into the talisman, and finally faded away, and fell to the ground with a 'pat'.

The exhausted Stone couldn't get up, so he simply fell to the ground and reached out to grab the wooden sign.

After picking it up, a question mark suddenly appeared on his head.

The function logic of the Helm of Deterrence is:

Through personal intuition, focus on self-will and mobilize the power of the soul, which is courage.

But when he picked it up, Stone didn't feel inspired in any way...but the vision just now was not fake, so he couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Just when he was confused, 'click-', the dormitory door was opened, and Anthony came back.

Seeing Stone lying on the ground, he rushed over in one stride, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay," Stone said, "I'm just a little tired."

"How can you be so tired?" Anthony didn't believe it. Then, he helped Stone to the bed and said, "Wait, I'll find you some food."

"Wait a minute." Stone stopped Anthony, then raised the wooden sign in his hand and said, "Try this."

"what?"

"Take it."

"Okay." Anthony took the wooden sign.

The next moment, his heart began to beat vigorously, his eyes lit up, and his waist straightened up.

"What does it feel like?" Stone asked.

"I feel inspired!" Anthony stood up, "No, I have to finish the question I didn't finish before. I will definitely be able to solve the answer!"

With that said, he walked towards the door with excitement on his face.

"...Come back!" Stone shouted helplessly. Just now you said you were bringing food, but you turned around and stopped recognizing the person?

"Oh-oh--" Anthony was startled and sat back. He couldn't put it down, turning over the wooden sign in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

"The Helm of Shock, an alchemical item, the wearer can inspire courage in the heart." After explaining, Stone asked: "How do you feel?"

"Very good!" Anthony patted Stone on the shoulder and praised, "It's amazing. He learned alchemy in such a short time and made such a powerful thing!"

The next moment, the admiration on his face turned into flattery, and he clutched the wooden sign in his hand:

"Good brother, can you... lend me a hand?"

"Okay." Stone smiled, "But you have to do me a favor."

"Just say it."

"Help me sell it."

"Sell...sell?" Anthony looked incredulous, "You are willing to sell such a good thing?"

"..." Stone stared at him expressionlessly, "Are you stupid? I can do it again."

"Hiss—that's right!" Anthony clapped his hands, "You can do it again! Brother, you are going to get rich!"

"It's not... Anyway, help me sell it. The base price is only one gold galleung."

"Limit one piece a day," Stone added, "and don't give my name."

"Why?" Anthony asked in surprise.

"Which do you mean?"

"two."

"The first one, I can only make one piece a day." Stone explained.

If it weren't for paying back the money, he wouldn't even come up with this plan. It's too time-consuming and energy-consuming and not worth it.

"As for the second one...you should understand that I want to keep a low profile now, and it's best for everyone to ignore my existence."

"Uh-understood!" Anthony said solemnly: "Don't worry, I just said I made it... bought it from outside, and I didn't mention your name at all."

"Yes." Stone nodded, "I only earn five Galleons, and I will give you one as a gift after the end."

"really?"

"real."

"Good brother! Let's go! I'll take you to dinner!"

"Just bring it in for me."

"How can that be done? You have to maintain sufficient physical strength."

With that said, Anthony lifted up Stone's arm and walked out of the bedroom carrying him on his back.

Quite embarrassing.
