Chapter 21: Profound Alchemy
Almost as soon as Sellers took the book in his hands, he realized something was wrong.
Its material is neither paper nor sheepskin. The text and illustrations in the book are not drawn, but seem to be stamped with metal. The book is very thin, only twenty-one pages, but the page numbers in the corners are not in accordance with the marked in order.
Instead, a "seven" is marked every seven pages, a total of three.
According to the general understanding in the wizarding world, "seven" is indeed a magical number. In fact, there is a course at Hogwarts that specifically mentions this magical number, and Voldemort also loves seven very much.
However, in alchemy, "three" is also a magic number.
As for the content in this book, he couldn't understand it at all.
The knowledge possessed by the fifth grade Voldemort seemed a bit superficial when compared to more advanced knowledge. Not to mention, even Nico Flamel, who had the dream revelation, spent twenty-eight years to decipher the mystery of this book.
Cyrus closed the "Jewish Book of Abraham" and looked next to it, and sure enough he found another book——
Nicol Flamel's manuscript, The Book of Hieroglyphs.
In comparison, the book was very thick. Cyrus flipped through a few pages at random, and an opened letter slipped out of the book.
"Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
"Dear Albus:
"After going through a very long time - more than six centuries - dragging our already dilapidated bodies and facing death, neither Perenel nor I have any fear. Both of us want to believe that when the world knows After our death, we can't help but feel regret for the end of our life and greed for our huge wealth, except for you, Albus!
“We both believed that death was just another adventure, one in which Perenelle and I had been too late.
"Before I leave, I will give you the two most important books in my lifetime to commemorate your friend who is more than five hundred years younger than me, but is even more wise than me - in addition, other I left my wealth to Beauxbatons, I hope you don't mind. Of course, I know very well that Albus Dumbledore has never been interested in this at all.
"I dare not say that I have understood all the mysteries of the "Jewish Book of Abraham". This book foreseen in dreams, although it only has a few pages, contains real wisdom and truth. I hope you will keep it safe. If you can decipher it The whole mystery of it is even better.
"However, we all know that this is too difficult. During the time when we first met and later worked closely together to explore the secrets of magic and alchemy, you have read this book countless times. , but there is no progress at all. I am very willing to believe that since it found me through prophecy, maybe fate can take it to where it should go.
"Now, because of Voldemort, I am determined to transfer the Philosopher's Stone to you. Perhaps this is a revelation——
"Having said that, Perenelle and I actually left a lot of elixirs behind, so please don't worry about it."
"Also: I believe we will meet again soon."
Cyrus closed the letter, finally understanding what was going on.
"A person as afraid of death as Riddle would definitely take it as his own if he knew the existence of this book. But Riddle has no memory of it. Because it was banned by Dumbledore last year. District.”
The envelope has been opened, indicating that Dumbledore has read Nicol Flameliu's letter and knows that these two books were actually given to him by Nico, but he has no idea of taking them as his own. Selflessly, he put it in the forbidden book area, waiting for the "revelation of fate" that Nico said.
"This revelation, could it be me?" Cyrus couldn't help but think narcissistically.
But no matter what, he was unwilling to let go of these two books.
If he could really refine the magic stone, it would be very helpful for his resurrection. Even if you can only refine some defective products, as long as you can replenish your vitality, the harm to Ginny will be much less.
Thinking of this, Cyrus quickly flipped through these two books, and also selected some other alchemical works in order to draw parallels.
Voldemort's level of alchemy was actually very high. Not only did he obtain a senior wizard certificate with excellent results, he also worked as an intern in Borgin's shop for a period of time after graduation. However, that was the Tom Riddle after graduation, not the fifth-grade Tom Riddle now.
"The book "Islamic Alchemy and the Kabbalah Tree of Life" records a wizard named Hohenheim, another legendary wizard who possesses the magic stone. However, there is doubt whether it is true or not." Cyrus quickly said Start reading.
He was glad that he was in a state of memory now, otherwise it would have been impossible to memorize all the books in a short time.
Because of his special state at this time, the diary will be equivalent to another precious pensieve. All the books he has read will be recorded in the form of pictures. He could have recorded the contents of these books first and analyzed them slowly when he returned.
Of course, the time required to study will not actually be reduced, it is just relatively safe.
"The ancient Egyptian alchemical classic "Jade Record" also has some reference value: to create the miracle of a unique thing, you need to understand that the things in the upper world are the same as the lower world, and the things in the lower world are no different from the upper world."
"What is the only thing?"
In addition to the copy of the Emerald Record, there is another book called "The Book of Thoth" next to it, which has a very deep connection with the Emerald Record. Cyrus also flipped through it.
At this time, he did not seek to understand it in detail, and could even be said to have swallowed it whole. He only looked at it roughly to see if he needed it, and immediately decided to put it down or record it.
Gradually, Cyrus became obsessed with it, until he was awakened by the harsh crowing of a rooster outside the castle. He suddenly realized that it was almost dawn.
"I have to go back quickly-I originally said that I would find some powerful black magic books to see if I could improve my strength, but I ended up reading alchemy all night..." Cyrus shook his head, but he was tireless at this time and didn't feel sorry at all. He just waited to return this body to Ginny and continue to slowly digest the knowledge in the memory space.
Walking quickly in the corridor of Hogwarts, the sky outside the castle was still dark, but the sky in the east had begun to slowly turn white.
"By the way, kill the rooster as soon as possible."
Before this, Cyrus had killed a rooster, but he didn't dare to kill them all at once, otherwise it would be too weird.
