"Cuiyulu?"
Sitting on the rocking chair in the courtyard outside the castle, Xia Zheng silently kept this thing in mind.
The refining of the Philosopher's Stone is indispensable in the alchemy system. With it, perhaps there will be a qualitative change in the magic system of Hogwarts.
More interesting magic props will be created with this power.
But Xia Ya doesn't know how to refine this kind of thing, and he can't find a suitable destiny template. There may be one, but the fantasy works he has seen are also limited, and the weaving of destiny is also difficult.
The existence of Cuiyulu is a direction.
Moreover, if there is someone who can directly obtain the method of refining the Philosopher's Stone, he doesn't have to bother to interfere with other people's cause and effect.
Xia Ya watched everything in front of him quietly. Compared to the lush and vibrant scene in the courtyard, the outside of the courtyard was completely icy and snowy.
This is the North Pole, the northernmost point in the world. In a sense, continuing some distance further north is the snowfield of Britannia.
The world is round, no matter which direction you go, you can actually go back to the starting point.
At first glance, you can see a vast expanse of white, a white world composed of glaciers and glaciers. Occasionally, you can see some polar bears looking over here from a distance.
There are no penguins in the Arctic, but in the past there were swimming birds that looked very similar to penguins, called great auks.
Although they look similar to penguins, they are not related in any way, but they have developed similar appearances through convergent evolution.
But it is a pity that the great auk was discovered earlier than the Antarctic penguin. In the 17th century, it was hunted in large numbers by Europeans and became extinct.
In fact, the temperature outside is pretty good right now, almost around -17°. The coldest winter has passed.
But even so, it still seems like another world outside the fence.
Even though it's warm as spring inside, you can still feel a bit chilly looking at this snowy scene.
There was a slight sound of flapping wings in my ears.
Xia raised her head and looked to one side. There was a scaffold hanging under the porch where the Kasifah fireplace was, and the cell-sit-through beast that Alicia raised was standing on the scaffold.
The place where it lives is on the side of the porch. It was added not long ago. The height and width are about one meter. It is filled with some quilts.
Although it is not big, fortunately there is no door. Most of the time, Hai Dongqing can fly freely and come back at any time.
Under the training of Oganwen, it has high obedience and will not run around. It will naturally come back when it is tired from flying.
This sea turtle's name is Snowflake, but obviously, it doesn't like snow.
On the other side of the porch, there is a nest similar to Hai Dongqing's nest. Inside, there is also a beast sitting on the bottom of a cell, a golden eagle.
To be precise, this golden eagle belonged to Tony. He didn't know how to train it, so he gave it to Alicia to take care of.
At this time, Alicia also walked out, holding a plate with some tea on it.
She placed the plate on the table next to Char and also lay on the lounge chair on the other side.
Chara raised her head and looked at Alicia, "Next stop, how about we go to Egypt?"
Alicia thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since I went to the far north to see the ice fields, it would be good to go see the desert."
Even if you can't find the Cuiyulu, as one of the four ancient civilizations, the culture there alone is worth a visit.
"Are you ready for the things you will use tonight?" Xia Ya asked.
"It's all done," Alicia said.
After systematically learning magic, Alicia's speech spirit became more and more powerful. Under her command, the meat would string itself together.
"Okay, it took a lot of effort to build this school, and after teaching for so many days, it's just time to find a chance to relax." Xia Ya stretched lazily and said.
Time always flies when you are in a happy mood, and soon, night falls.
Xia chose the location next to the big lake on Sky Island.
There are currently no mosquitoes on Sky Island during this time.
And it happens to be the middle of the month, when the moon is full. Although it is not as round as the moon on August 15th, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
As we all know, the oxygen in the sky is thinner than that on the ground, and the sun is more vicious. For the physical and mental health of the students in the school, Xia Ya set up a thin barrier around the sky island.
This barrier not only provides oxygen to the interior and blocks some ultraviolet rays, but also plays a certain role in hiding the sky island.
To people on the ground, Sky Island is just an ordinary cloud.
For stargazing lessons, Char also set up the magic of starry sky magnification on this barrier.
Therefore, the Sky Island floating in the sky is definitely an excellent place to enjoy the moon. The moon is many times larger than normal on the ground, and some craters on the moon can even be clearly seen.
It gives people the illusion that they can reach it with their hands.
The soft moonlight seemed to have crushed all the tranquility and spread it on the lazy clouds, glowing with an orchid shimmer.
Xia Ya was sitting on the edge of the lake fishing with a fishing rod in hand, with drinks and fruits chilled beside him as always.
Also fishing with him were Sebastian and Tony, who were both interested in it.
Compared to the fishing rods he bought casually in the imperial capital before, these fishing rods were all made by Tony. They were professional sea fishing rods with tough and powerful materials. Xia Ya was very confident this time.
Sebas looked around and sighed absently, "In Hades, there are some souls who once served as God's servants on Mount Olympus.
I have heard them describe Olympus.
It is also a sacred mountain floating in the sky, surrounded by clouds, with a golden palace built on the mountain, magnificent and magnificent.
Time has changed, and the Olympus of the past has long since collapsed, and there is no longer any existence that can live in the sky, but you did it. "
He looked around in a daze, "It's so beautiful, so breathtaking that it makes people not want to think at all, they just want to watch all of this quietly.
I really can't imagine what it would be like to live in a place like this. "
"It might seem strange at first," Tony said disapprovingly, "but you'll understand after living there for a long time. It's better to be down-to-earth and comfortable."
Sebastian smiled, obviously thinking that Stark was in Versailles.
But this was obviously his misunderstanding. During the battle on Titan, Tony returned to Earth in a spaceship. All fuel, oxygen and food were exhausted. He was trapped in space for a long time and was on the verge of death.
Although it will not cause a psychological shadow, for him, staying in the air is not as comfortable as being down on the ground.
Of course, this down-to-earth thing for him is more about being with his family.
Behind them, a middle-aged man wearing a bib stood in front of the oven, grilling the skewers Alicia had marinated.
Mutton skewers, beef skewers, chicken skewers, mutton skewers, gluten skewers and some mixed skewers, such as pork belly rolls with colored peppers, bacon rolls with chives, etc.
As well as some organs, such as roasted chicken hearts, roasted lamb kidneys, as well as vegetables such as roasted leeks, roasted eggplant, roasted shiitake mushrooms, roasted enoki mushrooms, roasted tofu skin, etc.
There are even aquatic products, such as grilled clams, grilled oysters, grilled scallops, grilled shrimps, grilled crucian carp, grilled cod, etc.
The middle-aged man is called Ansu. He is a native of Beizhou. His ancestors are from Beichen. He is a very good cook. His son is also a student in the school and is very good at Chinese skewers.
Since there are professionals, there is no need for amateurs like them to do it.
Alicia and Isabel were sitting on the grass with Moria chatting on one side. In the middle was the stove that Char used to make tea.
Foods such as peanuts and sweet potatoes are placed on the iron mesh on the stove to fill the stomach.
The teapot on the stove was steaming, and the warmth brought by the stove dispelled the chill at this high place.
After experiencing life and death, they cherished this hard-won relationship even more and talked a lot more.
Isabel didn't call Eugenia. It seemed that Alicia's second sister had offended Isabel again.
Xia Ya took out a bottle of wine from the box with ice cubes on one side, and then controlled it to float in mid-air. The cork of the wine bottle automatically retreated outwards, making a very clear "pop" sound.
Several wine glasses floated over from one side, and the end of the bottle of wine slowly rose. The wine was poured into these glasses, and then two of them flew towards Sebastian and Tony.
Xia grabbed one of the wine glasses and said, "Try it, the sparkling wine made by Semele."
Hearing that it was brewed by Semele, Sebastian immediately swallowed, then took a sip, with a drunken look on his face.
"Who is Semele?" Tony asked curiously. Apparently, Xia Ya had not introduced him to Tony yet.
"Dionysus." Xia didn't give in.
"Dionysus?" Tony said with some uncertainty, "Greek god of wine?"
Xia Ya teased, "Why, am I not qualified to know you?"
Tony came back to his senses, raised the glass and took a sip. He could feel the slight acidity in his mouth, and then the sweetness of the grapes slowly flowed through, with a long aftertaste. It was not surprising at first, but as the carbon dioxide bubbles It exploded in his mouth, and the refreshing fruity aroma it brought up made him feel a little intoxicated.
After a moment, he came back to his senses and nodded, "I believe it."
"How are you in Europe these days?" Char asked Sebas.
"It's okay, but there's too much work." Sebastian complained, "I'm so tired that I don't even have time to eat, but fortunately, I have a lot of achievements, and I should be promoted faster. It's a happy worry. "
Tony, who was listening to this, was a little nervous. He said happily, "Are you telling a joke about hell?"
Sebastian thought for a moment, "I'm not joking."
"But it's hell," Tony answered.
Sebas shrugged, "The God of Death's view of life and death is different from that of you humans."
Seemingly thinking of something, Sebas poked his head and said.
“Speaking of which, you know?
Something happened to Beichen. After their emperor passed away, several princes competed for the imperial power, and the country became a mess.
But I heard that some force in the cabinet supported a puppet emperor and was preparing to reform the system. It seemed to be called a constitutional monarchy. "
"Is this so?" Xia Ya whispered softly.
"But in any case, it's thanks to their civil strife that I can come back." Sebastian said, leaning lazily on the backrest and looking at the clouds and mountains in the distance, "I haven't felt this comfortable for a long time."
Char smiled and looked at Tony, "I found out the news about the Philosopher's Stone today."
Hearing this, Tony immediately turned his head to look at him.
As an alchemist, like all his alchemy predecessors, he has a special obsession with the Philosopher's Stone.
Alchemy must make do with the rules of equivalent exchange, but the existence of the Philosopher's Stone can break this. It is like playing with a GM account in a game.
This is a huge temptation for any alchemist.
Char slowly told him the news he got from Semele.
The more Tony listened, the more excited he became in his eyes.
"Cuiyulu?"
Sebastian was also a little surprised, "This is the first time I've heard of it. I guess not many people even know about it in Hades."
"Since it is a legend originating from Egypt, I plan to go to Egypt to look for it." Xia Ya said.
Tony nodded, but then he joked, "If this were my place, I would just go to the British Museum and the Louvre."
Xia Ya couldn't help laughing, "That's true."
Tony seemed to want to say something more, but the fishing rod on one side suddenly moved. He grabbed the fishing rod and stood up excitedly.
"coming!"
