Chapter 176: Learning
With his own knowledge of Bogin Bock, Tang Bai firmly believes that he will not and cannot refuse the temptation this time. No matter how demanding his demands were, Bogin Bock would have gritted his teeth and agreed. As for whether Bogin-Bock will be annoyed and angry after deconstructing the Trident of the Sea God and the leap in alchemical strength. Tang Bai didn't care too much.
Bogin-Bock is a slick and cautious man, likewise, a man who has no camp and is on the move. Too much of his mind and time was spent on alchemy. For this reason, he does not care whether his camp is right or evil. I don't care how much I get.
Such an opportunity, in Tang Bai's opinion, the price he made Boggin Bock pay is not heavy. He believes Borgin Bock understands that too.
In Harry's world, there are only three artifacts that can be called artifacts, one is a cloak that can hide from the Grim Reaper's search, one is a resurrection stone that can resurrect people, and the other is the legendary Elder Wand made of the Grim Reaper's finger. In addition, even alchemy items with the surnames of the representatives of the four major Hogwarts houses are far from the requirements of the artifact.
These three alchemy items are indeed incredibly powerful, but their origins are only derived from legends. Just like the artifacts in many stories, most of them have legends of living with a certain god.
Let's not investigate the truth of the legend. Others want to easily find these three artifacts and study and deconstruct them, even if it is the Dark Lord in his heyday, it is a bit overwhelming to do so. At least not before Dumbledore died.
If Borgin Bock wants to find these three artifacts, the first thing he has to face is the two most powerful people in this era in this world. One was Dumbledore and the other was the Dark Lord. Dumbledore held the Elder Wand, while the Dark Lord regarded the Resurrection Stone as a powerful alchemical item as his Horcrux.
Perhaps the easiest of the three artifacts to obtain was the cloak in Harry's hand. But also consider the possibility of success from right under Dumbledore's nose. Moreover, in Tang Bai's opinion, although the legendary owner of this cloak had the last laugh compared to his two brothers, in terms of use, it was undoubtedly the most nonexistent in the eyes of most people.
But if Tang Bai was asked to choose one of these three artifacts, Tang Bai would not hesitate to make the same choice as the legendary third. Choose the cloak that completely conceals you, followed by the Resurrection Stone, and finally the legendary and powerful Elder Wand.
For Tang Bai, who has experienced the female sea god and intends to touch and analyze the divine power, an alchemical product that can evade the god of death will make him much safer. If only the cloak could work on other gods!
In fact, Borgin Burk was far from keeping Tang Bai waiting.
Before the two days were over, he gave Tang Bai an affirmative answer. It only took him a little more than a day to agree to all Tang Bai's requests. even agreed to move his place of work to Tang Bai's house, right under Tang Bai's nose.
After receiving the news from Bogin Bock, Bogin Bock quickly appeared in front of Tang Bai's house with a large box and a small box salute, and a note of the address of his residence that Tang Bai gave him when he left.
"It took less time than I expected." Tang Bai smiled and looked at Bogin Bock standing in the middle of a pile of luggage in the living room.
"I tend to have little resistance when it comes to this kind of thing. : I love these strange alchemists full of offensive surnames. Borgin Bock hunched open a small box at his feet and pushed it under Tang Bai's eyes. Inside the box, there were old books piled up, and some scattered, long parchment rolls.
"This is what you want! Honestly, if I hadn't brought these things for you, I might have come in the worst place. Bogin-Bock spread out his hand, "It contains the ancient alchemy books that our family treasures, as well as the alchemy tips and notes accumulated by the family's alchemists for hundreds of years. ”
"That's all?" Tang Bai frowned.
The box handed over by Bogin Bock at his feet was not too big, a square cube, with a length, width and height of about one meter. Dense piles of books and parchment scrolls filled the entire chest. The inside of the chest can be seen at a glance by the spell that has been cast with the Traceless Stretching Charm to expand the space.
But considering the Mellen-Watts family's vast collection of potions books and notes, the number of books and notes in this box at the moment doesn't seem to be much.
"Of course not. These are just some of the most precious. Believe me, Tang, many of these ancient books have now become unique books. I'll give them to you, but I want you to keep them. This is the accumulation of many alchemists in our family over hundreds of years. "Borgin-Bock is very solemn.
"There is no library at Hogwarts either?" Tang Bai blinked. The library at Hogwarts is arguably the most complete collection of magical books in the wizarding world today. Later, if there was a chance, Tang Bai would also want to go in and browse.
"No other family has a book collection that can match Hogwarts, but that doesn't mean you can find all kinds of books and knowledge in Hogwarts libraries. At least some of the extremely dangerous things, which are expressly forbidden by the Ministry of Magic, will not appear in it. ”
A hint of ridicule appeared on Bogin-Bock's face, and he showed some disdain for Tang Bai's question: "In addition, some families with hundreds of years of inheritance will always have something that is not available elsewhere. Of course, if you're looking for something basic, there's nothing wrong with going to the Hogwarts Library. ”
"Have you figured out how to teach me to be an alchemist?" Tang Bai closed the lid of the box and reminded him of the topic just now.
Bogin-Bock stretched out his shriveled palm into his pocket and touched it twice, pulled out a folded notebook that looked crumpled and yellowed with his hand, and vigorously stroked the crumpled cowhide cover with his palm, flattened it a little, and threw it directly to Tang Bai.
"Here's to you. It contains all the alchemy courses I have prepared for you, and you can write them if you have any questions, and it will answer you. This notebook is one of the symbols of our family. Every deceased alchemist in the family will leave their last experience and knowledge on a parchment scroll for the descendants of the family. Many parchment rolls have accumulated together, and only then have this ever-thickening notebook. You'll use it. You can rest assured that there is no danger in this alchemy notebook. ”
"Excellent! I've prepared a room for you to rest and put together a studio. You can decorate them however you like. Tang Bai accurately grabbed the notebook thrown by Bogin-Bock, took two steps backwards, and showed him the way.
"That's the best, I can't wait to get to work." Borgin Bock rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Before we can work, we need to sign a contract. Make sure that you cannot, or you instruct or watch anyone but me, take the Trident of the Sea God that I have given you out of this house. And I need to know the detailed progress of your analysis of the Trident of the Poseidon, and what you have obtained. I have to be cautious, Mr. Borgin Bock, and I ask for your understanding. Tang Bai tilted his head.;
