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

In such weather, Albert likes to spend time by the warm and bright fireplace, sipping a hot drink while flipping through his favorite books.

Albert was undoubtedly lucky that Gryffindor's lounge was just right to satisfy him.

At this moment, Albert was sitting in a soft armchair, flipping through the book that Smith had lent him, called The Book of Abraham the Jew.

This book is very famous, and legend has it that Nicol Lemay followed the instructions of this book to refine the legendary Philosopher's Stone step by step.

When Professor Smith lent him this book, Albert was really surprised, he never imagined that such a book would be widely circulated, it is really hard to imagine.

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

Oh, yes!

If it is really possible to refine the Philosopher's Stone, how can it be passed on?

The secret recipe for alchemy is usually a secret that is not passed on.

People no longer believe in the so-called secret recipe of the Philosopher's Stone in the Book of Abraham the Jews.

Smith's recommendation of Albert's book is actually like when he joined the Quidditch team, just like Charlie recommended him to read "Quidditch Origins", which is probably the same meaning.

Although it may not be possible to gain anything, it is actually not bad to pass the time, and it can also learn about alchemy by the way.

The original Book of Abraham the Jews is only 21 pages long, and it has various images, which may be capitals, gold coins, Jews, princes, priests, astrologers, philosophers, or some strange drawings that confuse the mind. However, this book is more than that, there are relevant translations and annotations on it, but it still requires a special alchemical jargon to understand.

For example, Albert now looks at this page:

With the diligence of a philosopher, devote all your attention to the sun, the moon, and Mercury...... Inside the metal lies a sulfur soul called "Blazing Brimstone Light".

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

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

Albert closed the book gently, placed it on his lap, and did not look through it again.

In fact, he had already read it several times, and he also used his own knowledge and understanding to make a simple translation of the refining method of the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

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

This is expected, and he still has a hint of expectation, that is, he wants 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 fool people with this thing again?" Lee Jordan shook the parchment between his fingers. He remembered that a few days earlier, Albert had been in the library translating this old book, which was said to be the secret ingredient for refining the Philosopher's Stone.

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

In no way, Albert took a very old book, studied it there for a long time, and told them about the Book of Abraham the Jews and Nicol Lemay, which really fooled them for a while.

It's just that after they calmed down, they realized that they had been fooled by Albert again.

Although Albert innocently stated that the Book of Abraham of the Jews was true and that the formula for the Philosopher's Stone was indeed translated from the book, it was ...... Is the secret recipe for the alchemy of the Philosopher's Stone in the book also true?

Apparently not.

Albert's book is very old, but no matter how you look at it, it is printed, someone prints it, and the magic stone alchemy recipe in the Book of Abraham the Jew will be real?

If this is true, how is it possible that there has been only one Nicol Lemay for centuries?

"That is indeed the secret recipe for the alchemy of the Philosopher's Stone in the Book of Abraham the Jews. Albert had a look on his face that I wasn't lying.

"Yes, yes, we know that this is the secret recipe for the alchemy of the precious Philosopher's Stone. Lee Jordan said impatiently.

"How about we keep him as a treasure?" said George, with a pleasant smile on his face.

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

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

"When are you going to start doing it?" asked Lee Jordan, "now?"

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

"It's not that fast. After Albert drank the milk tea, he said to Lee Jordan, "I have something to do later." ”

"I hate rainy days. ”

They were going to train in the cold and rain, which was a common occurrence for Quidditch players, but no one liked to train in such stormy weather, getting wet all over, catching colds and getting muddy on the way to the Quidditch pitch.

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

"I'm sorry I'll have an appointment with Mr. Smith later. Albert politely declined, he didn't like to go out and train in such bad weather.

"Let's go!"

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

"Train well, we'll be going to cheer you on next time. Albert said to the two with a smile.

In fact, he also knows that there are more 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 Defense Against the Dark Arts office, and there was already a guest inside, it was young Smith.

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

"My nephew is quite talented, but his personality is a little arrogant. After the kid left, Professor Smith, who was preparing milk tea for Albert, suddenly spoke.

Unlike Dumbledore, Rowanna Smith liked to make his own milk tea.

Albert didn't know what to say about other people's affairs, and the best option was to remain silent.

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

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

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

"Thank you. ”

After a few small talks, Smith picked up another book and began to explain the basics of alchemy to Albert.

Well, that's right, the basics.

However, Albert does not lack a foundation, what he lacks is actually the secret recipe of alchemy, however, these things are usually secrets.

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

It's like a glass of water, just a glass of water to put out there. Tea leaves, or cocoa powder, need to be poured into the water to turn the water into a cup of tea, or hot cocoa, or even other beverages.

It's a bit embarrassing.

Professor Smith also studied alchemy, but he was not a master in the field himself.

Although, he could teach Albert something he knew, but ...... In fact, the relationship between the two sides is not good to that extent.

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

"Restricted by yourself?" Albert was a little confused, and for a moment he didn't understand what this meant.

"The amount of knowledge, I should say. Professor Smith took a sip of milk tea and explained, "Alchemy covers a wide range, but you haven't learned enough knowledge now, which directly leads to your thinking being limited, and you will naturally feel a little lost and unable to refine any items." ”

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

"There's no point in learning the basics anymore. Professor Smith shook his head, "I remember you know Mr. Broad, right?"

"Oh, you said Professor Broad, we know each other and have been in correspondence lately. Albert nodded.

"Alchemy includes a lot of things. "I think what you lack most right now is knowledge, which is the biggest problem right now, and I think it won't be in two or three years," Professor Smith said. ”

"Wait another two or three years?" Albert was a little confused, after waiting for two or three years, the daylilies were cold.

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

"Elder?" Albert suddenly remembered someone.

Gerber Smith?

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

"By the way, and Mr. Sierra Harrichs. Professor Smith clapped his hands and continued, "He's also good at alchemy. ”

"This ......," Albert looked confused.

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

Albert nodded, he knew what Professor Smith meant.

"I think there's news soon. Smith said.

"Thank you, Professor Smith. Albert said gratefully.

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

It was not Professor Rowanna Smith's intention to introduce Albert to Sierra Harrichs and Gerber Smith, but rather an invitation from Gerber Smith to join them.

Genius, and very talented in alchemy.

These two are sufficient.

Although Rowanna Smith was a little confused, he had a similar experience before.

However, he always felt something strange, "Is it really only because of talent that people are value......d?" Like McDoug, but, as far as he knew, Albert was a Muggle wizard. ”
