The flames gradually extinguished, and when the villagers looked at the fire rack again, it was empty. Whether it was the witch they wanted to burn to death or the demonic "horse", they had disappeared without a trace.
…
"Where are you taking me?"
"This is something you have to consider yourself."
Thestrals slowly landed on the edge of the cliff, far away from the village.
The silver-haired wizard got off the Thestral, straightened his long hair that was uncomfortable due to wearing a hat, casually untied the cloak, and threw the smoke-smoked cloak on the ground.
The girl who followed him down looked at it, then picked up the robe on the ground and held it in her arms.
The wizard looked at her: "Didn't you go to that school?"
The girl looked at him blankly, as if she didn't understand what he meant.
"Tsk." The silver-haired wizard turned his head impatiently and ended the topic on his own.
He walked directly towards the cliff, and the moment he stepped into the air, he disappeared like a phantom.
The girl standing on the edge of the cliff blinked her eyes twice, hugged the cloak tightly in her arms and was stunned for two seconds before taking tentative steps.
The moment she stepped out, the scene in front of her changed as if a fog had been lifted, and was replaced by a deep, moist mire.
After the hot and humid air was inhaled, the chest became hot. A buzzing sound kept ringing in the ears, like the sound of flapping wings. The dense and tall trees stood densely together with the tall and low shrubs and dwarfs. It covered the entire dense forest, covering both the ground and the sky without leaving any gaps.
The silver-haired wizard has skillfully entered the quagmire, and the powerful magic has shaken away the annoying poisonous plants for him, creating a safe passage through the dangerous quagmire.
The poisonous beasts retreated, and the dangerous magical plants withdrew their tentacles that were about to move, and lay dormant quietly as if encountering natural enemies, allowing the powerful wizard to lead the ignorant girl deep into the depths.
…
Noah opened his eyes and took a deep breath. The moist air filled his chest with the coolness of the morning, which not only made people awake but also took away the scorching illusion in the dream.
Although I can't remember most of the content in the dream clearly, the burning sensation of breathing was miraculously preserved, which was really strange.
Noah was in a daze before sitting up from the bed. The bed next to him was empty. It was obvious that Christina had left the room.
Keya stretched out his head from the side, put his head on his neck skillfully, and spit out a snake message to say hello to his master.
Noah pulled it down, turned over and opened the drawer of the bedside table, revealing several gemstone jewelry inside. He glanced over and saw that the magic power in the two ruby cufflinks had been completely replaced by his magic power, and familiarity was escaping. The breath is accompanied by a wonderful feeling.
After thinking for a second, Noah took out the cuff. His heart moved. The magic power in the gem suddenly flowed, and a small beautiful firework exploded in front of his eyes.
There was no incantation or any special effort to activate the magic power in his body. He just had an idea and the gem automatically helped him complete the magic he wanted to release.
This is……
"...Magic that can be cast without magic power." Noah thought about what he had gained last night, and suddenly knew what these accessories were.
The science of alchemy arose out of [greed], and it was originally developed to achieve [turning stone into gold]. Later, after thousands of years of development, alchemy was gradually applied to medicine, chemistry, physics, etc., and later it was gradually refined into more and more complex subjects.
Even now that alchemy is complicated, one thing still occupies the most important position in alchemy, and that is the [Philosopher's Stone], which is called the "supreme product of alchemy".
Regarding the Philosopher's Stone, different worlds and even different schools have different opinions. The most common perception is that the Philosopher's Stone is a "red stone", and its effects are also varied.
Some schools of thought believe that the Philosopher's Stone is "the crystallization of the [Supreme Law]", while other schools of thought believe that the Philosopher's Stone is "the most powerful alchemy that can turn stone into gold."
"Object", some think it is "a miraculous stone that can achieve [eternal life]". This wizarding world also seems to have the magic stone used by the alchemist Mailer to make the "potion of immortality". Although he has never seen it directly, Noah guessed that it was the alchemical version of the Philosopher's Stone in this world.
However, different from man-made alchemical products, there is actually a natural "Philosopher's Stone".
It is not an alchemical object created by humans or other creatures, but something born from the world or laws.
This thing is said to have no specific form. It may be a living thing, a gem, or a grain of dust. The effect depends on the situation.
To give an example... In a certain world, a [God] who could bend the laws was born, and this [God] was a biological type of [Philosopher's Stone].
The most common manifestation of this [Philosopher's Stone] is that it can realize [Wishes]. Although the [Wishes] that can be realized are also different types and even have great restrictions, the superficial effect is enough. It made countless alchemists crazy about it.
But there is one thing that needs to be kept in mind, and that is the absolute law that alchemy must follow - equal exchange. Even if it is a natural philosopher's stone, an equal price must be paid when realizing [a wish].
For example, although the little magic just now seemed to not consume Noah's magic power, in fact, Noah had paid the price in advance, which was the magic power that had been absorbed before. If a Muggle without magic wants to realize his wish, he must pay other prices.
No wonder he found nothing no matter how much research he did before. The [Philosopher's Stone] was too much beyond his knowledge, and it was far from something he could understand. What's more, it was a natural stone without artificial traces, so it was naturally more It's difficult.
So the question is, where did Salazar Slytherin find these Philosopher's Stones?
Natural Philosopher's Stones are extremely rare in records. Basically, alchemists spend their entire lives unable to see their true appearance. As a result, there are not only four of them here, but they have also been made into jewelry. They can only be called "luxury" to describe.
Noah put away the jewelry with a serious look on his face, and then added a few more layers of seals because he felt it was unsafe, and then looked at the last small bottle.
Putting this bottle with the Philosopher's Stone, it was difficult for him not to think deeply about whether the liquid in the bottle was also related to the Philosopher's Stone. So he directly sealed the bottle several times.
The Philosopher's Stone looks like a wishing machine at first glance, but it's actually a nuisance. After all, the price of sight wishes is "equal". It’s impossible to judge these things. If you accidentally have any dangerous ideas and you can’t pay the price...
