Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 190: The Book of Abraham

At the end of September, the rainy season continues, the weather is getting colder and the nights are getting longer.

In weather like this, Albert likes to stay by the warm, bright fireplace, sipping hot drinks and flipping through his favorite books.

Albert was no doubt lucky that the Gryffindor lounge was just enough for him.

At this moment, Albert is sitting in a soft armchair, flipping through a book that Smith has lent him, titled The Book of Jewish Abraham.

This book is very famous. It is said that Nicole Lemay made the legendary Sorcerer's Stone step by step according to the instructions of the book.

When Professor Smith lent this book to himself, Albert was really surprised. He never thought that such a book would be widely circulated. It was hard to imagine.

However, what surprised Albert even more was that he actually found the refining method of the Philosopher's Stone from the Book of Jewish Abraham, but no one succeeded in refining it except Nicole Lemay. Magic stone.

Yes!

If the magic stone could be refined, how could it possibly be spread?

Alchemy recipes are often secrets that are not told.

People no longer believe in the so-called Sorcerer's Stone recipe in The Jewish Book of Abraham.

Smith recommending Albert's book is actually like joining the Quidditch team, like Charlie recommending him to read "Quidditch Origins", which is probably the same meaning.

Although it may not be able to gain much, it is actually good to pass the time, and you can also learn about alchemy by the way.

The original Jewish Book of Abraham was only 21 pages and had various images, possibly capital letters, gold coins, Jews, princes, priests, astrologers, philosophers, or some confusing Weird drawing. However, this book is more than that, there are related translations and annotations on it, but it still requires special alchemy terminology to understand.

For example, this page Albert is now looking at:

With a philosophical diligence, devote all your attention to the sun, the moon, and the planet Mercury...In the metal lies a brimstone soul called "the fiery brimstone light".

If you don't know that in alchemy, the sun refers to gold, the moon refers to silver, and the planet Mercury refers to mercury, it may be difficult to understand what this sentence means.

There is also a description of alchemy, "...Brimstone has a magical power that can dye the wet and cold moon into the pure gold of the sun, but this process requires a spiritual medium..."

Albert closed the book gently and placed it on his lap without flipping through it.

Actually, he has read it several times, and also used his own cognition and understanding to simply translate the refining method of the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

Unfortunately, there are no skills or tasks related to the Philosopher's Stone on the panel.

This is to be expected, he also has a glimmer of hope, just to see if he can pick up a treasure mountain for himself through the panel, however, it is obviously wishful thinking.

"Are you going to use this to fool people again?" Lee Jordan shook the parchment between his fingers. He still remembered that a few days ago, Albert was in the library translating this old book, which was said to be the alchemy recipe for refining the Philosopher's Stone.

Then they believed it, especially after learning what the Philosopher's Stone was, everyone was happy for a while.

No way, Albert took a very old book and studied it there for a long time, and told them about the "Jewish Book of Abraham" and Nicole Lemay, really put them temporarily To fool live.

Only, after they calmed down, they realized that they had been fooled by Albert again.

Although Albert innocently stated that the "Book of Jewish Abraham" was true, and that the formula of the Philosopher's Stone was indeed translated from the book, but...is the alchemy secret about the Philosopher's Stone in the book also true?

Obviously not.

Although Albert's book is very old, it is printed no matter how you look at it. Some people have printed it. Will the magic stone alchemy recipe in the "Jewish Book of Abraham" be true?

If it's true, how could there be only one Nicole Lemay in the centuries?

"That's really the magic stone alchemy recipe from The Jewish Book of Abraham." Albert gave me an expression that I wasn't lying.

"Yeah, yeah, we know it's the precious Sorcerer's Stone alchemy recipe," Lee Jordan said impatiently.

"How about we keep him as a treasure?" George's face smiled happily.

Since the last secret treasure, several people have been working on leaving various secret treasures at Hogwarts.

"That's a good idea." Fred opened the curtains next to him and looked up at the rain curtain outside. "You write another copy in French, and then attach an English translation."

"When will it start?" Lee Jordan asked, "now?"

"Another day." George walked over, looked out the window at the rain curtain, and mumbled, "Why doesn't the rain stop."

"How can it be so fast." Albert finished drinking the milk tea and said to Lee Jordan, "I have something to do later."

"I hate rainy days."

They're going to train later. They're training in the cold wind and heavy rain. It's a normal thing for Quidditch players, but no one likes it in this kind of windy weather. During training, I would get wet all over, catch a cold easily, and get covered in mud on the way to the Quidditch pitch.

"Aren't you going with me?" George asked, turning his head.

"Unfortunately, I have an appointment with Mr. Smith later." Albert politely declined, he didn't like going out for training in such bad weather.

"Let's go!"

The two brothers sighed and walked to the exit of the common room together,

"Train well, next time we play, we will cheer you on." Albert said to the two with a smile.

Actually, he also knows that there are many new players this year, and Charlie's training is very strict, which puts a lot of pressure on Fred and George.

The training of Quidditch players is really hard!

A few minutes later, Albert knocked on the door of the Defence Against the Dark Arts office, and there was already a guest inside, young Smith Jr.

When the other party saw Albert, he frowned slightly, obviously not thinking that there would be guests, so he got up and left.

"My son and nephew, he is quite talented, but he is a bit arrogant." After the child left, Professor Smith, who prepared milk tea for Albert, suddenly said something.

Unlike Dumbledore, Rowena Smith likes to make his own milk tea.

Albert doesn't know what to say about other people's affairs. The best option is to keep silent.

"Thank you, I've finished reading this book. It's an amazing book."

After a moment of silence, Albert returns the Jewish Book of Abraham to Smith.

"It's really amazing." Professor Smith took the book, placed it on the table, and handed the brewed milk tea to Albert.

"Thank you."

The two chatted for a while, and Smith picked up another book and began to explain the basics of alchemy to Albert.

Well, yes, basics.

However, Albert is not lacking in basics. What he lacks is actually the secret alchemy recipe. However, these things are usually secrets that are not passed on.

Smith soon found the problem, Albert already had his own understanding of alchemy, but his problem now was that he didn't know how to use it.

Like a glass of water, it's just a glass of water in there. You need to pour tea leaves, or cocoa powder into the water to turn the water into a cup of tea, or hot cocoa, or even other beverages.

This is a little embarrassing.

Professor Smith has also studied alchemy, but he himself is hardly a master in this field.

Although, he can teach Albert some things he knows, but...the relationship between the two parties is not that good.

"I probably know about your situation." Professor Smith ended the lecture directly, looked at Albert again and said, "You are limited by yourself."

"Limited by myself?" Albert was a little stunned, and didn't understand what this sentence meant for a while.

"It should be the amount of knowledge." Professor Smith took a sip of milk tea and explained, "Alchemy covers a wide range, but you don't have enough knowledge now, which directly limits your scope of thinking. , you will naturally feel a little confused and can't make any items."

"Can't you teach me?" Albert asked.

"There is no point in learning the basics." Professor Smith shook his head, "I remember you know Mr. Broad!"

"Oh, you said Professor Broad, we know each other, and we also have a letter contact recently." Albert nodded.

"Alchemy includes a lot of things." Professor Smith said, "I think what you lack most right now is knowledge~IndoMTL.com~ This is the biggest problem at the moment, I don't think it will be like this in two or three years. There's a problem."

"Wait two or three years?" Albert was a little stunned. After waiting for two or three years, the day lily was cold.

"I can write to Mr. Broad to see if we can recommend you to one of my elders," Professor Smith said.

"Elder?" Albert suddenly thought of a person.

Gerber Smith?

The old man I met last time at the lake hut.

"By the way, and Mr. Sierra Harris." Professor Smith clapped his hands and continued, "He is also very good at alchemy."

"This..." Albert looked confused.

"I'll help you write a letter of introduction," Professor Smith said with a smile. "You first prepare a letter and write about your problems with alchemy."

Albert nodded, knowing what Professor Smith meant.

"I think there will be news soon," Smith said.

"Thank you, Professor Smith." Albert thanked.

"You're welcome," Smith said. He looked at the back of Albert's departure, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by confusion and confusion.

Introducing Albert to Sierra Harris and Gerber Smith was not what Professor Rowena Smith meant, but an invitation from Gerber Smith to invite the young wizard to join them .

Genius, and gifted at alchemy.

As long as these two points are actually enough.

Although Rowena Smith is a little suspicious, he has actually had a similar experience before.

However, he always felt something strange, "Is it really only valued because of talent? Is it...the same as McDoug? But, as far as he knows, Albert is a Muggle wizard."
