Chapter 118: Could this be the legendary Great Mansion Technique?
Prayer?
To whom do you pray, Merlin?
How to pray?
William thought with some uncertainty that he could feel that Lemay definitely knew a lot of things, at least he knew more about the organization than he did, but he didn't tell himself.
Confused, he followed Lemay towards the back,
The old wizard walked very slowly, and he was on a crutch, as if he were attached to it. William stepped forward to hold him, but was stopped by the old man.
"You don't need to help me, I can still walk a few steps on my own, this may be my last way, I have to finish it by myself."
After saying this, Lemay continued to stagger, and William had to follow him slowly.
It seems that Lemay is indeed going to fail, and the large number of words he just said are like a return to the light before death, draining all his energy.
Now it seems that he may die at any time.
Such an alchemist is as fragile as a mortal in the face of death. William now somewhat understands why Voldemort is so obsessed with the pursuit of eternal life, and also understands the desire of so many wizards throughout history for eternal life.
No one likes to watch themselves age day by day, and this feeling of overcoming death is really tempting.
It is like the alluring fruit in the Garden of Eden, and it is only when you bite into it that you realize what a dangerous curse is hidden in the fruit.
The two of them walked slowly like this, just a few steps, and actually walked for more than ten minutes. Eventually, however, they made it to their destination, where there was a closed door at the back of the hall.
Lemay struggled to push the door open, which made him look even more decadent. Only then did William notice that they had come to an alchemy laboratory.
The furnishings in the laboratory were very traditional, and they were all common tools used in modern alchemy, which made him look familiar, because the props were not much different from the laboratory at home.
"In fact, in my life, I have had many magical inventions and creations, and I have also contributed a lot of feasible directions to modern alchemy." Lemay looked at the room in front of him with some nostalgia, he touched the door, and then walked in with William.
"However, most people only remember the Philosopher's Stone that I managed to make, after all, the allure of eternal life is too great. Did you feel anything different when you walked into this house? ”
"It's weird, even though it's empty and unadorned, and the floor is spotless, which gives it a very eerie feel.
But in the hall just now, I always felt that this room had a will of its own, as if it would change into different forms according to your will. William thought for a moment and said how he had always felt.
"Yes, as you think, this room is an alchemical artifact, a magic house, and one of the proudest inventions I've ever had besides the Philosopher's Stone."
"The Magic House?" William didn't expect that alchemy would have such an operation.
"Yes, you know about circle magic, right?" Lemay turned back to William and asked, and only after seeing him nod his head did the old wizard continue.
"Circle magic is a common form of magic used by ancient wizards, and although it is not as convenient and practical as modern magic, this ancient form of magic still has its own uniqueness.
With the help of the magic array, the wizard can do things that cannot be achieved by magic spells, such as this magic house. Essentially, the inspiration came from this magic circle, but the difference was that I combined it with alchemy. ”
Can magic still be played like this?
Although it is known that this form of magic was very popular in ancient times, it has its own unique charm. However, after all, William had not been exposed to many magic circles, and he did not have any in-depth research on this kind of magic.
First, because of the fragmentation of materials and documents, there is a lack of understanding of the magnificent era in which ancient wizards lived. To tell the truth, Rao is William's house has a very rich collection of books, but there are not many of the books included in it that William can read.
You know, most modern wizards haven't even heard of magic circles! They only know how to use a weapon to remove you, and they pass out, and many wizards can't even release an iron armor after so many years of magic study.
Not to mention any magic arrays, only those wizard aristocratic families, because of their long historical traditions, will have these few records in the family's collection.
Moreover, compared to the simple and convenient modern magic, the decline of ancient magic is not unreasonable.
Because this kind of magic circle is too complicated to operate, and modern wizards use magic wands, and the main spell casting prop used by wizards during the period when magic circles were popular was magic staffs.
Compared to wands, which were created for the modern simplification of spells, they are more expensive to build, and although they are powerful to use, they also lose speed and convenience.
This is one of the reasons why the staff was eventually eliminated.
And the magic array is like this, the original information is very broken, coupled with the few people who have studied and the many defects of the magic array, so this crystallization of the wisdom of ancient wizards will decline little by little.
Therefore, when he heard that Lemay had such a study of the magic array, William felt incredulous. It can be seen that Lemay has studied very deeply, otherwise he would not have been able to design such a magic circle.
"It's a work I made when I was younger, when I was adventuring around the world and enriching my knowledge." Lemay coughed, interrupting William's thoughts, and continued.
"I invented this spell because I wanted to have a place to live in the middle of nowhere.
Especially in some ruins, sometimes you need to stay there for a long time to decipher the wisdom of ancient wizards. This kind of house can make my research more comfortable.
As long as you bring the materials and then set up the magic circle, and then driven by the magic power, you will build a house with the magic circle as the center.
At that time, I would repair the house very luxuriously, I carefully used the Transfiguration Charm to arrange every decoration, and the house was arranged like a luxurious villa, so that I could stay anytime and anywhere.
But now, I'm not in the mood to get any more of this. ”
???
Lemay: Did you play like that when you were younger?
This should be the legendary mansion technique!
I don't know when my alchemy will reach this level.
