Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

"Save your strength, friend!" said Nyx. "Is your alchemy finished?"

Stone didn’t want to be taught by a girl who was only two years older than him, explaining:

"Not yet, because I'm waiting for something."

Then he changed the subject and asked: "What about you?"

"It will be completed soon." Thinking of his alchemy work, Nyx's eyes narrowed, "Guess what the name of our work is?"

"Name?" Stone twitched his lips, "You still name your works?"

"Of course, this is a requirement of the competition, otherwise what would you call it?" Nicks looked Stone up and down, "It's already the second round - oh - you passed through - in short, I gave it to you as soon as possible. Think of a name for your work. In the past years, there have been many temporary and weird names. Of course, they were always in the first round."

"..." Being ridiculed, Stone scratched his head, "Okay, I understand."

"So - can you guess the name of our work now?"

"How can you guess this? Can you at least give me a hint?"

"Emm... it has to do with fairness."

fair?

Mentioning this word, the first thing that flashed in Stone's mind was the god of the underworld in Egyptian mythology, the one who holds a scale and puts feathers on one side and a heart on the other.

What is His name? Stone thought for a moment and raised his index finger:

"The Scales of Osiris?"

"This name is not bad, and it is indeed related, but unfortunately, it is not. Guess again."

"No more guessing, no more guessing." Stone waved his hand, "I'm so hungry. I have to go eat. I'm still young and I still need to grow."

"Little brat..." Nyx was about to slap Stone on the head but stopped, and finally turned away, "I originally wanted to tell you in the next round, but now, you can only be curious for three more days. La--"

"..."

Not curious at all, okay?

Stone walked past her smoothly without any hindrance.

But chatting for a while is still useful, at least it avoids the embarrassment of temporarily thinking of names. After dinner, Stone sat by the window and thought for a long time. He couldn't think of a good name, and finally decided to wait until the finished product came out.

It was the fifth day when I woke up again.

In the morning, Stone took a carriage to the village where the parts were customized. After inspecting and paying, he took the parts back to the alchemy room.

Parts can be divided into three categories according to their uses: track, machine, and fixation.

The track is composed of eight silver pieces, used to control the position of the small crystal plate; the machine part is composed of four groups of precision mechanical parts, used to control the movement of the peripheral small crystals, thereby controlling the language of translation; the fixed part is composed of four silver bolts and filled with silver bars.

To put the parts in, you need to first make holes and scratches in the upper and lower large crystal plates. Stone found a set of professional tools from the cabinet in the alchemy room.

To be honest, this is a precision instrument. Even with Stone's eyesight, he tried to slow down as much as possible to avoid making mistakes.

In fact, a slight deviation will not affect the effect, as long as it can be corrected, but that will cause more flaws, and since it is white crystal, it will greatly affect the look and feel. He does not want this to happen.

This process took him a whole day.

Assembling it is not so labor-intensive, but there are many parts and it also takes a lot of time.

On the evening of the sixth day, when the last silver seal was fixed, the successful completion of the work was announced.

The boxy crystal plate has silver edges, and through the transparent top plate, you can see the precise mechanical structure inside.

The three-layer crystal plate with the gap is about six millimeters thick. In the center of the silver seals on the four sides, there is a slightly raised silver pick, which reads 'English' in English and 'French' in French... ...

Stone gently pushed the French button, and the mechanical spring in the crystal plate moved, controlling the outermost small crystal plate to touch the inner layer of small crystal plates. The lines that made up the talisman suddenly turned into a dark line. river.

Looking at this scene, Stone said in English:

"Test, test."

The ink in the river surged and flowed all the way to the center. The next moment, the ink spread, and something written in French appeared on the top board:

[Test, test. 】

The glyph lasted for ten seconds, then turned back into pitch black ink and retracted into the outermost crystal of the cross.

Then, Stone pulled back the [French] button and turned the Arabic paddle.

Compared with French, he is better at Arabic and can conduct tests better. In the next ten minutes, he tested some rare phrases, long and short sentences, broken sentences, and ambiguous sentence patterns...

——There are no problems.

Next it’s time to give it a name. Stone turned over the crystal card in his hand, looking for its characteristics.

The four languages ​​were transformed into each other, and it was boxy, like a token. Looking at the finished product, he quickly came up with a suitable name:

[Four-language dialect order]

... ...

Day 7, morning, hotel restaurant.

The restaurant is at the back of the hotel, two steps away from the hotel. Here, you can enjoy the best view of the Nile River through the black European-style fence.

Stone likes to eat here, but it was very busy some time ago, so the place to eat is either in the room or in the alchemy room. Now that the work is completed, he can sit where he likes.

After a while, the Ramadan sisters also sat comfortably next to Stone, drinking coffee and looking at the cruise ship in the distance.

"Is your work finished?" Stone asked.

"Yeah." Nyx said, "You're done too, right?"

"Of course." Stone nodded, "There's only one day left. Who will eat here if it's not finished?"

"That's not necessarily true." Memphis interjected and said, "The guy from Durmstrang comes every day."

"The one from Kodosdorius comes every day, too," Nyx added.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, two figures appeared on the stairs, it was Axel and that stupid old man. They ignored each other and they must have bumped into each other by chance.

What's interesting is that both of them have crew cuts, both have huge bodies, and both...are wearing vests.

You know, it's winter now. Even though it's Egypt, it's still very cold in the morning, and everyone else is wearing coats.

"Are they all so resistant to freezing?" Stone said, curling his tongue.

"It should be for alchemy needs." Memphis said, "When I passed by their alchemy room, I heard the sound of blacksmithing, both doors."

"Oh - I remember they are in the same group, right?"

"Yes." A smile appeared on Nyx's lips, "That's interesting."
