Unlike the chaos in Albania, the Alchemy Contest at Hogwarts went smoothly.

After Maca left the arena, as many preparations were completed one after another, the twelve finalists all showed good alchemy strength.

So far, seven contestants have performed the mysteries of alchemy for the audience.

To be honest, the topic of this final is really well set. The activation and refining of material elements is not only a very difficult study in alchemy, but more importantly, when this kind of refining is completed, it may also bring unexpected surprises and shocks to the modern wizards present.

However, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to have more full capacity. At least...... The seven contestants who have completed so far seem to have failed to achieve the results expected by Hohenheim and Maca.

"Woo-" "Whoa-"

In the arena, one after another beast roared one after another, and those cries were the alchemy products of these players in the final stage this time.

In fact, the material elements are mixed in a fixed proportion, and then decomposed, transformed, and reconstructed with the help of the power of the refining array, and finally the new material constructed is activated by various means.

As long as each step is successfully completed, the alchemist is able to create plants and animals that are very close to real life.

Not only are these creatures more alive than Transfiguration, but they last much longer than the latter, and even if the alchemist dies, the product will not disintegrate and disappear.

It's just that...... Of course, because of this, no matter how similar these life-like beings as products of alchemy may be, they cannot escape the fact that they are not real lifeforms.

Right now, the seven players in the arena are squatting or lying on their stomachs with some live animals. There are wolves and tigers among them, and there is even a whole litter of moles, which looks very lively.

However, this is not enough.

Because from the outside, they didn't look too different from the Transfiguration animals, and for the wizards in the audience, it was obviously a little irritating.

However, the audience is still looking forward to it!

From the very beginning of the final, there were three players who were clearly different from the other contestants: the tripartite delegation of Africa, Mesopotamia and Egypt, which Maca was eyeing at the time.

The old witch of Africa was still stirring the huge cauldron, and the male witch in Mesopotamia was still staring at the point of light in the middle of the alchemical pattern column, and the Egyptian player who was pounding the golden coffin......

"Oh-"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout in the arena, which was heard even by Luna and the Bronze Kitty who were still in the castle.

And it was the moment when the audience suddenly shouted, the golden coffin in front of the skinny Egyptian alchemist trembled violently, and the coffin lid seemed to be unable to be suppressed any longer, and a large amount of yellow sand kept spewing out from the cracks in the slightly open coffin lid.

"No, the time hasn't come yet!"

The Egyptian alchemist hurriedly spoke in Arabic and stepped on the lid of the coffin, trying to force the lid of the coffin shut.

But no matter how hard he tried, the lid insisted on lifting up little by little, and more yellow sand gushed out of the ornate gold-encrusted coffin, as if it were endless.

"Wait! Wait—"

The thin alchemist seemed to be in a hurry, and saw him desperately stomp on the lid of the coffin, but it was still useless.

"Wow!"

There was so much gravel near him that he kept raising his foot and stomping it all the time, until he finally slipped and fell down in the sand with a thud of his left foot.

And it was at that moment that the lid of the coffin was completely blown up by countless yellow sands, and more sand gushed out like a fountain, drowning the alchemist at once.

For a moment, several of the other runners near him retreated with the animals around them, lest the sand swallow up their animals.

"Emergency Team—"

Seeing this, Mr. Hohenheim from the jury was about to let people go over to clean up the accident, but a hand suddenly stretched out from the pile of yellow sand.

"Hmm...... Phew! Wait...... Please wait a moment! ”

Out of it was the Egyptian alchemist who had just been buried in the sand, and he was very timely in English to stop the jury's rescue operation.

"Give me a little more time, and I'll be right away!"

With that, he immediately put his hand on his neck and pulled a pyramid-shaped pendant from his collar. Then he pressed the pendant directly to his forehead, and a series of words poured out of his mouth in a slurred manner.

But the strange thing is that as he kept reciting the syllables, the yellow sand was swept up by a whirlwind, and he was wrapped in a sandstorm tornado.

Immediately, the dust tornado shrank at a speed that was recognizable to the naked eye.

Not long after, when the patches of yellow sand were completely condensed into a man-high pile of sand, the Egyptian alchemist finally revealed his form again.

The next moment, the audience suddenly fell silent!

Because they saw that in the middle of the pile of sand, a humanoid monster nearly two meters high actually stepped out. Its whole body is composed of yellow sand, and it has no facial features or other detailed human features, and even its limbs barely look similar to a human.

"Sand corpses! It's an Egyptian sand corpse! ”

Suddenly, several wizards in the audience shouted out, and their voices also moved the others, and the atmosphere in the venue boiled again.

This is a magical creature endemic to desert areas, they are slow, nocturnal, and during the day they are no different from ordinary sand, making it difficult to distinguish them from each other in the desert.

But even so, they are also recognized as magical creatures in the wizarding world, and they are alive.

And the reason why the audience will be pleasantly surprised by this is that Transfiguration in modern magic cannot transform into magical creatures, and even the very famous and difficult branch of Transfiguration, the Animagus Transfiguration, cannot violate this rule.

However, the alchemist in front of him did it with the help of that wonderful refining array.

"Sandstorm!"

The Egyptian alchemist happily gave the order, and the sand corpse slowly spread its arms made of yellow sand very obediently, and a whirlwind similar to the one before immediately appeared around it.

But before the applause of the audience could be stopped, there was an unusual change in the vicinity of the wizard who belonged to the Mesopotamian delegation, which suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

However, in the center of the refining array with six stone pillars, the first point of light suddenly began to increase, and the faint silver light it released also kept getting stronger all the time, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look at directly.

But the wizard was still staring at it persistently, and even though his eyes were full of tears, he didn't take his eyes off the silver light for even a moment.

Time passed little by little, and the audience fell silent again. They squinted their eyes and turned their faces sideways, and most of them looked like they wanted to see but were difficult to see.

I don't know how long it took, but the brightness of the silver light finally faded.

At this point, everyone realized that it had turned into a huge sphere shaped like floating mercury. Even though it no longer glows, it still reflects the bright golden light in the sunlight.

"Huh? You see...... Is that ball slowly turning golden? ”

"Where is it! That's just the sun's rays. ”

While some viewers were watching carefully, they couldn't help but discuss in a low voice. It's just that those wizards who noticed the change in color weren't mistaken.

At this time, Hohenheim and the others on the judges' bench couldn't help but take a closer look, because in alchemy, "gold" is always a representative color that people can't easily ignore - if it's really made of gold, it's not a joke!

However, as one of the greatest achievements of Nicol Lemay's life, how can it be so simple to reproduce? This is certainly not made of gold, but ......

"It's moving! It seems to be moving! ”

In a few moments when a few good-eyed spectators let out a low breath, the ball-shaped thing began to deform. Some parts of it were shrinking, some of it was elongating, and it was soon apparent that it was shaping some kind of creature on all fours.

It didn't take long for a creature that looked very much like a young pony to fall to the ground. It has delicate golden fur all over its body, which shines in the afternoon sun, and looks very beautiful.

On top of that, it also has a thin horn on its forehead that looks like gold, which means that it is not just a golden pony, but a juvenile unicorn under the age of two.

Compared to the sand corpse with an extremely single material element, the difficulty of refining this unicorn is obviously much greater—didn't you see that Mr. Hohenheim on the judges' bench had a pair of eyes widened? He looked so excited!

Because the appearance of the little unicorn is so cute, most of the women in the audience are excited.

There were even a few little girls who wanted to jump over the fence next to the VIP seats, trying to get closer so that they could see more clearly and carefully.

But none of this bothered the old African witch on the other side of the field. She was still stirring the massive cauldron that had been placed on the refining array, and the dark purple smoke had blackened it.

Suddenly, she whispered a mantra.

"The bones of the fire dragon, unintentionally erected, can make the majestic magic have something to rely on......"
