Chapter 528: The Difficult Alchemy
As a wizard who basically has no understanding of alchemy, Andrew finally realized at this moment what the old man who seemed to be a bit overly strong in front of him was like in the magic world. Exist.
In the magical world where knowledge and power are almost equivalent, the knowledge accumulated by this wizard who has lived for more than 800 years can crush people to death.
A island, like an island, can make creatures survive alone, and even include traceless expansion of air, sunlight, and water - no, this is not traceless expansion, it is simply a small biosphere ah!
"Sorry, Mr. Lemay, this..."
Andrew took a deep breath, "But for such a thing, how can it ensure the circulation of air? Is it a ratio that limits internal life?"
Although Andrew's brain was thinking about another terrible thing, But he still wanted to figure out what was happening in front of him.
"Meteorological Curse, Taylor."
Mr. Lemay said for granted, "Use the weather curse to simulate wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and then fix it with alchemy. This is the alchemist's. A very typical operation."
…
'I knew that the spell could not fall... the weather spell, but it should be imitated by the transformation technique. Anyway, the spells and deformation techniques are very interoperable...'
"No, Mr. Lemay, I am Said that in the box, the air that is supplied to the living creatures is not wind, rain, thunder, or lightning, but air, which is the gas we breathe, which is composed of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and some rare gases."
Andrew looked Mr. Lemay looked a little confused and added an explanation.
"I have read this introduction, but I can't apply it all the time - knowledge is not only a force, but also a drag. You know, the barriers caused by knowledge in people's hearts are more difficult to overcome than ignorance than ignorance. .”
Mr. Lemay nodded at Andrew, with a smile on his face, "Okay, air, how to say, you have to understand the concept of alchemy, well, everything in the world is made of earth and fire , wind, water, and ether, are composed of five substances. ”
…
Although there was doubt in his heart, Andrew nodded.
"So, what is air? In traditional alchemy, air is regarded as water condensed by fire."
"Water condensed by fire?"
< br>Andrew repeated it once and felt even more uncomfortable.
What is water condensed by fire?
But what if condensation is not condensation, fire is not fire, and water is not water?
"Sorry, sir, I'm afraid I need some time to understand..."
"It's okay, I have the same understanding as you when reading Muggle knowledge, don't look at that word, Understand it as another technical means."
Mr. Lemay had no impatience on his face. He found a chair and sat down habitually, "Don't use your understanding to understand them, Imagine you are someone who has never been exposed to this knowledge and force yourself to accept it."
But this is not an ordinary difficulty...
Andrew admitted that he relies entirely on talent in transforming techniques - he will be able to see it at a glance, and you will understand it after thinking about it. It is his normal state for transforming techniques to practice once. Even for other subjects, it was just a slower relationship and learning. This was the first time he encountered such an incomprehensible situation.
'No, I can't remember it by rote, please change it. Fortunately, there is a Chinese buffer, so I will translate it...'
'The so-called concept of air in alchemy is two elementary particles In a special state, the combination is produced due to the influence of the binding temperature and other factors. This is the case first... If it is not right, it will overturn and start over. ’
This is not so difficult to accept, Andrew nodded at Mr. Lemay.
"Very good, tell me how you understand wind?"
"The air flows to form wind."
"Why does the air flow?" Mr. Lemay looked at Andrew, with the The smile is a little stronger than before.
"The heat flow caused by temperature differences, the exact point, the air must neutralize its own temperature to stabilize, but due to the imbalance of sunlight, the air will hardly be able to cause the air to be able to achieve the stability of the temperature. When the temperature is stable,"
There is nothing to hide in this kind of thing, and Andrew directly brought out the knowledge in his mind - anyway, there are many things in popular science books, so they can be bought casually in bookstores.
"It's interesting, so interesting," Mr. Lemay smiled directly, "You are more than enough to be a professor in Muggle Studies, but you didn't choose Muggle Studies."
< br>…
That time has to be there... The current elective courses and office affairs are enough, otherwise Andrew actually wants to see the Muggle world in the eyes of the wizards.
"My schedule can't accommodate so many classes, Mr. Lemay."
Andrew shook his head and gave the answer. "It doesn't matter, it's enough time for the alchemy class. Although this course takes more time than I thought, I'm afraid the gains are much greater than I thought." The gentleman pulled out a book from the bookshelf on one side, "No matter which of us, I have a premonition that we might be able to push alchemy to another level."
"You overestimate me, Mr. Lemay."
Andrew shook his head and sat down, "The knowledge I have mastered is neither comprehensive nor profound enough. Whether it is there, I just read more of it. Just knowledge."

"Who isn't it? Albus was not a natural alchemy master at that time - but his transformation technique was indeed better than you."
Mr. Lemay put the book on the table- This handwritten book doesn't even have a cover.
"But Albus has graduated at that time, and he doesn't have the courage to compete with you..."
...
I don't plan to be in the magic world The people yelled and bombed by letters - don't harm me, Mr. Lemay!
Andrew shook his head again and didn't argue on the topic.
"Okay, put the irrelevant things aside first, let's start our discussion."
Mr. Lemay knocked on the table, "Four elements and ether, it sounds hard to understand. , especially when you are already deeply prejudiced. "
"Then let's get something attractive first." Mr. Lemay said as he Waving his wand, a piece of iron floated from a distance and landed on the table.
"Then, it's this."
Mr. Lemay smiled, took out a small, inconspicuous stone from his pocket, and then gently dropped the inconspicuous stone. On the steel.
? ? ?
Andrew's mind suddenly had an outrageous idea.
What's even more outrageous is that in front of him, the steel began to gradually release light, and then it was infected by bright gold little by little in front of him.
‘It’s not the power of the transfiguration, I’m very sure…’
Andrew didn’t even blink his eyes, staring at the steel—or, the mixture of iron and gold.
Yes, this thing is... a Philosopher's Stone!
