Ancient Wizards Return to Hogwarts

Chapter 432 Godric: You Guys Are Never Going to Stop, Right? !

After Les and the other three entered, the entire office was as packed as a sardine can. Les could not see Rowena at all and could only hear her voice from the front.

"The science of alchemy, literally, is the knowledge of refining gold." Rowena talked to the students as if he didn't feel the crowd in the office.

She begins directly with the origins of alchemy.

“The ultimate goal of the alchemists was to transform common metals – some alchemists would choose plants – into gold or silver and create a ‘miracle’ that was said to cure all diseases and extend life indefinitely.

This knowledge existed long before the birth of magic and originated from ancient humans' desire for wealth and life. The birth of magic gave alchemy a mystical meaning, making it no longer a science of burning stones. But don’t underestimate burning stones. This is the predecessor of what Muggles call ‘chemistry’. "

Some of the students who knew more about alchemy couldn't help but ask: "Professor Arius, are you referring to the Philosopher's Stone?"

"That's right! Although before Nico Flamel successfully refined the Philosopher's Stone, some alchemists in the past generations claimed to have successfully refined the 'Philosopher's Stone', but the works they refined more or less existed. Many people's works are simply clumsy deceptions, and some people simply do not use the knowledge of alchemy, but rely on the power of gods. These are not the real Philosopher's Stone until Nico Le. With the appearance of Mei, he successfully refined the Philosopher's Stone that best meets the requirements of the alchemist, which is what you call the Philosopher's Stone."

At this point, Rowena's mouth curved up: she wanted to thank Salazar, who gave her a small piece of the Philosopher's Stone, allowing her to glimpse the ultimate in alchemy, and she also gained a lot from it. With inspiration and enlightenment, his alchemy level has also advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the current state of great success.

If she wanted to, she could completely imitate the Philosopher's Stone with similar effects to Nico Flamel's Philosopher's Stone.

"I have also done some research on alchemy. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to push open the door of knowledge and get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg." After answering the students' questions, Rowena continued her course.

"My pursuit of alchemy is different from that of ordinary alchemists. Here you can't learn how to turn iron into gold, nor can you achieve the goal of immortality with the help of alchemy. I will only teach you how to make some practical gadgets. Son."

Professor Arius' words did not disappoint the students, because everyone knew that the magic stone could not be refined by ordinary people. Throughout the entire history of magic, wasn't Nicolas Flamel the only one who succeeded?

So even if Professor Arius said that she could teach everyone how to refine magic stones and took out a box of magic stones on the spot, they did not believe that they could learn such high-end operations. But "practical gadgets" are different. They can really learn and use them.

As a result, the students became more energetic and pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a word.

"Children, do you think this place is a bit crowded and not suitable for class?" Rowena suddenly asked such a question.

"Yes!" Les's voice was particularly loud. He and the Greengrass sisters, who were the last to come in, had already been squeezed into the corner. Not to mention finding a place to sit down, even their standing posture was extremely awkward. Daphne even used the groundbreaking flying magic to float about a foot above the ground. In order to get more space, I can see the teacher's face clearly.

"Then come over here, and I will take you to a spacious place to study." She motioned the students to follow her to one side of the platform, where a small circular arch stood.

Rowena said to an upperclassman Hufflepuff standing next to him: "Get in."

Senior student:? ? ?

"Professor, this seems a little small..." he said weakly.

"Don't worry about so much, you just need to get through the arch." Rowena's tone was unquestionable.

The senior student reluctantly followed the instructions, but when he stood in front of the arch, he found that the arch was getting bigger and bigger.

The arch that was originally only palm-high gradually became half the size of his body, then the same height as him, and finally became three times the size of his body.

"This..." The senior students were stunned.

Then he soon discovered that instead of the arch becoming larger, his body had shrunk, turning him into a little person about an inch tall!

When he turned around, Professor Arius towered behind him like a mountain, almost as high as the "sun" above his head. Looking around, the students also turned into giants, surrounding them like endless mountains.

"A little wonderful use of space magic, the next one, everyone, hurry up." Rowena saw the faces of the people around him full of shock, and couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart. She urged the students to hurry up and enter the platform.

I have to say that even Les was shocked by Rowena's operation.

He knew that Rowena had been busy tinkering with the clay villain in the dungeon a few days ago, but he didn't expect that she would develop this curse to such an extent.

It's hard for her to think of shrinking people and stuffing them into a sandbox! This means that Rowena has made another breakthrough in space magic.

The students lined up one by one to enter the platform, and soon it was Rice's turn.

"How about this? This spell." Rowena looked at Les and couldn't help but show off.

"It's amazing." Rice exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "It seems that this year's championship depends on this spell?"

"Keep it secret." Rowena was very tight-lipped and was unwilling to reveal any information.

But Rice was sure that she would definitely use this spell this year, otherwise she would not be Rowena.

After entering the platform like everyone else, Rice looked at the platform made by Rowena.

All kinds of plants and trees were lush and green, and even insects and birds could be heard in the forest. Not far from the entrance was a gorgeous castle and a matching garden. Obviously, that was Rowena's residence.

Looking at everything in front of him, Rice remembered Rowena's previous masterpiece, the biological crystal ball. She put a forest into the crystal ball, making it a world of its own. Now she applied this technology here. This platform is nothing more than an open crystal ball, but the shock it brings is completely different.

Rowena followed in at the end.

She waved her hand and signaled everyone to follow her steps.

Rowena led the students into the castle garden. She chose a fig tree and sat on the ground under the shade of the tree. The students followed her example and sat on the ground with her.

"This is also a form of alchemy. This is the alchemy I pursue - creating life." Rowena said extraordinary words in a calm tone.

Les: !!!

He was shocked by Rowena: Could it be that all the trees here were created by Rowena using alchemy?

He looked around hurriedly, and was surprised to find that Rowena did not seem to be bragging. Many plants in the garden were created by magic.

For example, the grass on the ground in front of him, most of the grass looked the same, as if it was carved out of the same mold, and it also contained a weak but very pure magic inside.

This is the power of magic.

"Of course, sometimes I will shrink some animals and plants in reality to save trouble, and then move them in. For example, this fig tree is transplanted from outside." Rowena raised her hand, and several ripe figs fell into her hand.

"Clear water like a spring!" She simply washed the fruit, peeled it and enjoyed it.

"Professor, isn't this the power of Transfiguration?" Hermione raised her hand and expressed her confusion and puzzlement to Professor Arius.

Facing the questions of her chosen students, Rowena seemed particularly patient.

"Miss Granger, in terms of expression, they may be somewhat similar to Transfiguration, but not entirely." Rowena pulled up a grass from the ground.

"Look, if it is Transfiguration, the object itself will most likely disintegrate and return to its original appearance after such damage. This is the characteristic of Transfiguration: when the damage to the object itself exceeds the upper limit that the spell can withstand, the spell will be invalid, but alchemy is different." Rowena conjured a small cyclone and rolled the weed in her hand into pieces.

The weeds turned into grass debris and fell to the ground, but they did not disappear.

"This is an alchemical creation transformed from elements. It will gradually disintegrate after being destroyed, but it will not disappear immediately like Transfiguration - in other words, the things here are edible." Rowena gave the most simple and easy-to-understand example.

The food transformed by Transfiguration cannot be eaten unless it is edible in its original state. After eating, the spell is eliminated and the object returns to its original form, which may cause extremely uncontrollable damage to the stomach and intestines. But the things made by alchemy are different. They can be eaten, and they will eventually return to the original energy elements in the stomach and intestines.

"Alchemy is an ancient science that involves studying the composition, structure and magical properties of the four basic elements, as well as the transmutation of matter. If you control the proportions among them, you can refine what you want." Rowena closed her eyes, and after a few seconds, the hole in the ground that was originally empty was occupied by a newly grown grass.

"This subject is very interesting. You need to find a balance among the four elements and then create new items." Rowena stretched out her hand and wrote the four words [wind], [earth], [fire] and [water] on the ground in order.

"Today I will teach you some basic principles of alchemy, and then we will start from the simplest place."

"Are you asking us to make a grass?" A senior student asked eagerly.

"Of course not." Rowena rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't underestimate this grass. You will be successful if you can make a grass by the time you graduate. Today we are studying the simplest element classification, which does not involve the life level at all."

Rowena took out dozens of substances and gave each student a pile, asking the students to classify them by themselves.

"Put the single element together, and the ones containing multiple elements are marked with what elements they are. If you don't understand something, discuss it with your classmates first, and ask me if you can't reach a conclusion." After explaining the content of this class, Rowena leaned against the fig tree and read the book.

Rice took a look at the materials he had been assigned, and sorted them out in a few minutes. Then he picked a grass created by alchemy from the ground and began to study it.

‘A combination of water and soil… Does such a grass have the ability to reproduce?’ Rice took the grass in his hand and looked at it over and over again.

Then he fixed his eyes: he noticed that the magic attached to the grass was expanding at a very small amplitude, which meant that the grass could absorb energy by itself. When the energy was absorbed to a certain extent, it would grow and even split into a second grass.

In order to verify his guess, Rice began to look carefully at the surrounding plants, and then he really found something that could prove his guess: a small flower next to a larger wild flower looked exactly the same as the big flower except that it was a little smaller.

‘It’s amazing.’ Rice sighed in his heart. The small world created by Rowena could already circulate on its own.

He spent the whole class studying Rowena’s manor, and he got a lot of alchemy inspiration from it.

The bell rang from outside, Rowena stood up, quickly corrected several mistakes made by the students, and then announced the end of the get out of class.

“How is it?” Rowena asked him before Rice left.

“Awesome.” Rice’s response was simple, but it made Rowena smile.

"Let's make a deal." Rowena stopped Les while the other students had already left.

Les:?

"I heard that the Resurrection Stone, one of the Three Hallows of Death, is in your hands. Let me study it for a while, and I will share my experience in alchemy with you. There are many ready-made formulas in it. You can refine the same items by 'mixing' according to the proportions. You should understand what I mean."

Les knew what Rowena was talking about.

Rowena's life alchemy is a bit similar to potion making. Alchemy is completed by adjusting the proportions of the four elements of water, fire, wind, and earth. So as long as he gets the specific formula, he can really imitate the life that Rowena had successfully refined before.

"Don't break it." Feeling that this deal was quite cost-effective, Les took out the Resurrection Stone and handed it to Rowena, who stuffed a booklet into Les's hand.

"You can leave now." After getting it, she issued an order to expel Les without hesitation and sent him away.

After Les left, Rowena couldn't wait to circle the resurrection stone in her palm three times. A gust of hot wind blew by, and a familiar voice sounded in the forest.

"You guys really never stop, right?!" Godric's shadow appeared in front of Rowena.
