The Necromancer of Hogwarts

Soon after receiving the alchemy formula from Snape, Xiang Yu and Zuo Wei returned to the town with three suitcases filled with the formula.

They began the process of rummaging through mountains of books and seas of ink to find available information.

The process of reading obscure and difficult to pronounce recipes is extremely difficult, because a large part of the recipes are handed down from ancient times.

Many ancient English words had to be looked up in special dictionaries to understand the meaning, especially those proper nouns of alchemy, which almost drove the two of them crazy.

They had to spend a lot of effort and buy a book introducing medieval alchemy to find the corresponding meaning.

And knowing what the formula says is not enough, they also have to unify the ingredients recorded in the formula with the current description.

Some materials had a name in ancient times, but their original names are no longer used today.

There are also materials that are only called so in the magic world. Zuo Wei and Xiang Yu had to consult a large amount of information to determine what this raw material was based on the records of the material characteristics.

Compiling this information is a long process, but fortunately, Zuo Wei's family still has a lot of savings. Even if the machinery factory no longer produces, there will still be no problem in ensuring the lives of the two of them.

While sorting out the formula, the two of them did not give up on the growth of their strength.

After Zoe Wei obtained the Rogge mercenary template, her shooting talent has been greatly improved, and she has become more comfortable using firearms.

Every day she spends two to three hours on shooting training, trying out various types of firearms.

In the beginning, her progress was rapid.

After combining the ability of internal vision, Zuo Wei has been able to fire every bullet accurately, and every bullet can accurately hit the desired shooting position.

But when she wanted to go one step further and master the flame arrow and ice arrow capabilities of Rogge Archer, she seemed to have encountered a bottleneck, and she made no progress for a long time.

Xiang Yu told her that these two abilities require long-term development, and they need to personally feel the power of the elements to master them.

Once she masters these two abilities, Zuo Wei's strength will undergo earth-shaking changes, and she will also have powerful lethality against those supernatural beings.

Zoe Wei knew this and had no other choice.

She had no choice but to calm down and, according to the records of the Necromancy School, take time to meditate in front of fire or ice every day, feel their characteristics, and feel the power of the elements bit by bit.

Xiang Yu has not been idle during this period.

He opened the knowledge inheritance that the Necromancy School had opened to him. The vast knowledge in it was like a small library. He was sorting out the formulas while reading the knowledge in his mind.

The knowledge of the Necromancy School is all-encompassing.

A large part of it can be divided into biology, which includes the accumulated knowledge of the necromancers on the anatomy of the human body and all things in nature.

The other part is pharmacy, which is the pharmacological knowledge accumulated by the necromancer during the research process.

And among the remaining bits and pieces of knowledge, a large part actually belongs to the category of philosophy.

The unity of opposites between life and death is something that every necromancer must think about in the necromancy school.

"The perception of death is the true core of the Necromancer."

"Different perceptions will eventually lead necromancers to take different paths, and their spells will also show different characteristics."

"Of course, it's too early for you, you will understand later."

During this period of time, Xiang Yu has been studying this knowledge, making himself dizzy every day, but his life is extremely fulfilling.

His level is still stuck at level 5, with no intention of improving.

But Xiang Yu's strength has not stagnated, but has been slowly improving.

With his understanding of the knowledge of the Necromancy School, his control of his own spells has also improved qualitatively.

Before, the spells he released were completely templated, rigid and rigid.

For example, the skeletons he summoned all looked the same, they were all humanoid skeletons holding bone sickles and bone shields.

When he went to find Snape before, Xiang Yu had already understood part of the knowledge about birds.

He can shape the summoned skeleton into the image of an animal, which is how the bone owl Snape saw came to be.

Now he has become more skillful in controlling skills.

He can now perform some changes that are not reflected in the skill description.

Taking the summoning of skeletons as an example, Xiang Yu can now summon skeleton archers holding bows and arrows, and he can also create skeleton javelin throwers, which allows him to switch skeleton configurations according to different situations.

As for the tooth spell, after Xiang Yu obtained the staff, his skill level reached level 2 and he was able to fire two bone teeth at the same time.

Previously, Xiang Yu could only summon 2 bone teeth as long as he used the tooth spell.

But now, he can choose to summon only 1 bone tooth, but the power of the bone tooth will be increased.

He can also slightly change the shape of the bone teeth to focus on different uses. For example, some shapes are suitable for piercing, some shapes can tear large wounds on the enemy, and some shapes can make the flight trajectory of the bone teeth erratic. , difficult to avoid by enemies.

Under this series of changes, although Xiang Yu's level remained unchanged, his strength was indeed steadily improving.

Time passed like this day after day, and both of them were immersed in this kind of life.

……

A month later.

Xiang Yu and Zuo Wei finally roughly screened the formula.

They eliminated those formulas whose raw materials were difficult to obtain, and those formulas that required magic spells to produce, and then struggled to find those formulas that were complicated and difficult to pronounce.

During this time, their emotions were like a roller coaster.

The recipe is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will taste like.

Whenever they look at a recipe, they expect to find what they want, but in most cases their mood quickly turns bad because this thing is waste to them.

Sometimes they will see some recipes that seem to work, but after they put in the effort to think about it, they will sigh lightly. Either the raw materials are not available, or the properties of the product are simply not suitable for Muggles. use.

After going through hundreds of formulas, their moods became calmer when they looked at the formula.

Sometimes they even suspect that there may not be any usable formula in this thick stack.

But on this day, the goddess of luck quietly favored them.

Xiang Yu took out one of the few formulas left and read it carefully.

He now has an understanding of these proper nouns, and they no longer feel as obscure and difficult as before.

Just when he glanced over, Xiang Yu's expression suddenly changed.

"This is?"

He cheered up and read word by word.

After he read the entire recipe carefully, Xiang Yu finally realized: "Oh, this is what I want."

He stood up, and Zuo Wei was meditating in front of a group of flames not far away, hoping to comprehend the power of the fire element and shoot powerful flame arrows.

Xiang Yu walked over and patted Zuo Wei to wake her up from her meditative state.

"Found it." Xiang Yu said, "Get ready, we are going to start arranging materials."

Zuo Wei was stunned for a moment: "Found it?"

"Wait, what did you find?"

"What's the recipe for this?"

Xiang Yu carefully locked the formula into a safe and said as he moved: "This formula itself is of no use to us. It is a method of making magic props."

"But it mentions a formula for a coagulant that can reduce defects when metal liquids are cooled."

"Originally, this kind of magic prop will be very fragile after being made and will break after one use. However, after using this coagulant during the production process, the strength of the magic prop has been greatly improved, and its service life has been greatly increased."

"If the record here is true, then this is what we are looking for."

"A highly efficient coagulant that can reduce the cost of metal casting and improve the performance of cast products."

Xiang Yu turned around and asked Zuo Wei again: "And do you know what other advantages it has?"

Zuo Wei shook her head blankly: "What?"

Xiang Yu snapped his fingers.

"Low cost and simple to prepare."

"Simply the perfect industrial coagulant."
