Chapter 243 Dumbledore and Alchemy
"Duel Club, it's better to kill first and then tell the story..."
Percy looked at the newly piled documents in front of him and couldn't help scratching his head, "Why did that Professor Lockhart start causing trouble during your vacation?"
How do I know?
It’s not me who instigated it – I wish he didn’t do this club building.
Could it be that Professor Lockhart was stimulated by something? Why is he so eager to show off his new skills? Doesn't he know that once his true skills are exposed, bad things will happen to him next?
Andrew didn’t know—but it was none of his business.
The fifth-year male prefect who occasionally takes turns, Bob has now devoted himself to the grueling preparations for the OWLs exam. Compared to Percy, his grades are much worse, so he needs to work harder.
What this means is that now this living Percy is following the whole process, may Merlin bless him.
Don't blame Andrew for being cruel - he has something very important to do right now, and he's so nervous that he can't help Percy at all.
Yes, what he has to do is to write the manuscript before the deadline.
In view of Dumbledore's inhuman behavior, Andrew's time was taken up a lot, so the completion of the manuscript during this period was quite low.
After giving Percy a wishful look, Andrew rushed to the laboratory assigned to him and began to write the manuscript without any business.
——
[People are always surprised by Dumbledore's amazing talent and profound knowledge, but they have never noticed one thing, that is, Dumbledore was once a teenager.
To be precise, Dumbledore was once a young man with great ambitions, but was admired by Gryffindor himself.
There is no doubt that he is an out-and-out Gryffindor...]
‘No, you can’t die like this! ’
Andrew had just finished writing and immediately destroyed what he had written.
You can write about naughty people, but that was before, but definitely not now - unless he really wants to blow the cold wind in the air.
['You are not like a Gryffindor... you are too rigid and too responsible...'
This was the comment Dumbledore received when he first met Nick Flamel. 】
Very good - that's what it tastes like.
Dumbledore's character is very, very calm and his behavior is extremely reliable, but for this reason, he was severely criticized after meeting Nick.
Yes, that's it.
Mr. Nick warned little Dumbledore that in alchemy, imagination and stability are indispensable - the former ensures that you can make a breakthrough, and the latter determines whether you are safe.
[Alchemy is the most dangerous magic, bar none. Change is the essence of alchemy, which is completely different from the change of transfiguration, but it is so dangerous that if an accident occurs, it will be fatal and almost irreversible. 】
Andrew didn't use Mr. Nick's alchemy booklet at all, but this did not affect his use of various languages to describe alchemy - he had successfully read the books in the library when he was installing lights in the library a few days ago. Although I haven’t gotten into the theory at all, it’s enough to write it down in the story. Terminology plus conclusions - learning this kind of thing is essentially the same, well, most of it is the same.
Reading, memorizing, understanding, applying, and finally memorizing new information—the last determines how much you can remember after a period of time.
All he had to do was to cover the rest of the curriculum, and then focus on describing Dumbledore's genius and encouragement - Gryffindor's originally suppressed nature was brought out...
‘You won’t be considered discriminatory by Gryffindor, right? No, they know what kind of discrimination they are... At most, they can beautify it, and it won't be a big problem. ’
Andrew was thinking this way, and the pen in his hand did not stop - the subsequent study stories and so on were instead ready-made manuscripts.
Because he was frequently interrupted by Dumbledore, his writing mode this month was different from the past. He first filled in the scattered learning stories, and then connected them together with the context of time. After his recent visit to Nick Flamel, the beginning of the front On the contrary, it seemed much smoother than previously thought.
[Dumbledore finally discovered his talent in language. He even regretted not learning more runes when he was in school. But it was not a big problem. With the guidance of professors and his own efforts, Dumbledore has mastered his own learning method. 】
'It's a pity that Lockhart's pretense can't be included, otherwise it would be too suspicious...'
[A wizard’s six-hundred-year collection is all about alchemy—if the Hogwarts library is like the grandest dinner party, then Nick Flamel’s collection of books is a surprising French meal… 】
‘Stop it, Taylor, you can’t make such stupid remarks as the best French food is in England, it’s the national conditions here! ’
Andrew stopped the pen in his hand, started another line, and continued writing.
Anyway, you can exaggerate as much as you like, as long as it doesn't violate common sense in the magic world - it's okay to develop in the field of alchemy, but things like the magic stone are definitely not allowed.
…
['What a shame, Albus.' After another day of study, Nick looked at Dumbledore with disappointment. 】
[‘What did I do wrong, Mr. Nick? ’]
['There is no mistake, Albus, but it is such a pity. Your talent is completely worthy of recognition, but it is too high and too comprehensive. ' Nick looked at Dumbledore and shook his head, 'You are destined not to invest all in alchemy. It would be great if your talents other than alchemy were taken away. You will definitely be able to guide for at least two centuries. The development of alchemy...']
['I'm afraid not, Mr. Nick...' Dumbledore thought for a moment and shook his head - the power of prophecy took effect. He originally thought he could change the world by popularizing alchemy, but in the end he was unable to turn the tide. 】
[The power of a wizard is limited. A genius, no matter how hard he works, can only achieve a few qualitative breakthroughs in alchemy in his lifetime. Even, not even once is a common thing. After realizing this, Dumbledore finally gave up...Alchemy cannot save the wizarding world...]
[Yes, it can make the times better, make the wizarding world better, and even change the living situation of wizards several times, making everything develop for the better. But, how many times can an alchemist make it in his lifetime? What about change? 】
[If alchemy had not achieved enough results, he would have returned to Hogwarts now - the breakthrough of alchemy should not rely on one genius, but on a group of geniuses, no, to be precise, on a group of people Imagination, maybe more, maybe less, maybe no breakthrough in a lifetime, but with countless experienced hands, there are infinite possibilities...]
‘Well, the foreshadowing for the next issue is also done, that’s it, this issue will be about learning and prophecy, and the next issue will be about breakthrough and departure, done! ’
Andrew stopped his quill and examined it with satisfaction.
