0136. Refining the Philosopher's Stone
readx;
If you ask wizards what magical creatures are the most dangerous magical creatures in the wizarding world, most wizards will tell you that they are dragons. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info because it's so representative.
Because Mr. Diggory is the director of the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control, Field still knows the fire dragon very well. Among the magical classes, the fire dragon's level is undoubtedly level five. They can be imagined as dangerous.
Of all the magical things, the dragon and probably one of the hardest animals to hide. Female dragons are generally larger than males, and females are more aggressive than males. But male and female, no one should approach them except for well-trained and skilled wizards. The skin, blood, heart, liver, and horns of the dragon all have strong magical functions, and dragon eggs are classified as a Grade A non-trade commodity.
These are all things that we are told in the book "Where Are the Amazing Creatures", and it is very true.
But in the mountains of southeastern France, the roar of the nine fiery dragons is heard one after another, not that flames are spewing out of the dragon's beak.
More than a dozen agile wizards shuttled between the cages where the dragon was imprisoned, and from time to time they fired spells at the dragon in the cage, and the enraged dragon roared and spat flames.
"Almost, isn't it? The magic in the bloodlines of these fire dragons has already been stimulated. "Field, this will hide far away, the spectacular sight of 9 fire dragons together is not something that ordinary wizards can watch up close, Field has just seen these fire dragons before and was almost scared to pee his pants. Yes, in retrospect, even if you actually pee your pants, it's not a shame. These are nine pure-blooded fire dragons.
"Well, it's almost, now we're waiting for the teacher's order, and now we don't have anything to do, just watch it carefully. Mrs. Nice said.
"Are these people reliable? Now the Land of Runes is attracting attention, this place is not far from the Land of Runecraft, will it be spied on by people with ulterior motives?" "Field is actually still very worried, such a big action, it will definitely not be hidden from everyone.
"Don't worry, these people are all relatives, friends, and deceased friends of the teacher, and they are all the teacher's people, and they are all bound by secret magic. Do you think that a legendary alchemist has not formed his own force for more than 600 years?" Grandma Nice looked at Field.
"Hmm. Field was a little embarrassed, but when he thought about it, he was too worried, Voldemort had not yet been resurrected, and even the craziest Death Eaters would not have the guts to offend a wizard like Nicolame. And now this area has been protected by the magic array arranged by the master, and others don't actually know about this place, so there is no need to think about security.
"5 Swedish short-nosed dragons, 4 Ukrainian iron bellies, all big guys in the fire dragon. Field looked at these fire dragons carefully, even though it was already dark, the blue flames spewed by the Swedish short-nosed dragon and the size of the Ukrainian iron belly of more than 6 tons were still very conspicuous.
"The five Swedish short-nosed dragons came from the wild dragon sanctuary in Romania, and the number of Swedish short-nosed dragons in recent years was a bit excessive, so the teacher used a little bit of connection, and they agreed to send these fire dragons. The 4 Ukrainian iron bellies were obtained from your Uncle Hugo's Dragon Farm in the United States, and I heard that you still have shares. Grandma Nice said.
"Well, Grandpa Kevin said that I came up with the idea of opening the Dragon Farm, so he left me a little share. Because the American dragon farm is mainly for profit, most of the fire dragons raised are large ones such as the Ukrainian iron belly, or high-value dragon species such as Australian albumin-eye and Romanian long-horned dragon. Field said.
The two chatted without a word, waiting for the refining ceremony to begin.
"The constellations are in place and should be about to begin. Mrs. Ness looked at the sky and muttered.
Field also looked up at the starry sky, but with a confused expression, "What, what is it, astronomy or something." ”
Just as Field was considering whether to go back and make up for astronomy, Master Nicolamay's refining circle was activated not far away.
The Master recited the esoteric incantation, (Field was sure it wasn't any language he knew.) He pulled out his wand and sent a red glow to the magic circle not far away. After this light reached the center of the magic circle, it began to spread rapidly, and in just a few tens of seconds, the entire magic array was wrapped in red light.
"Roar—" Scattered around the nine cages around the magic circle, the dragons let out a desperate roar, they felt the threat of death.
Suddenly, the red light like blood in the center of the magic array split out, shooting towards a cage in an arc-like arc, this process was only half a second, and the Swedish short-nosed dragon in the cage that was hit instantly turned from a roar to a scream, it twisted its body in the cage in pain, and its tail hit the cage. But it was all in vain, and Field found that its body gradually suffocated, as if it had been sucked dry, and Field could feel that its life, its magic, its soul, and everything about it began to flow into the magic circle as it received the arc of red light.
The whole process was actually only a short five or six minutes, and then the red lights lit up in turn, and the remaining eight fire dragons finally ushered in the same fate as their kind.
"Flesh alchemy?" said Field, looking at these strange alchemy rituals, muttering.
"Yes, it's the alchemy of the spirit flesh, but it just uses the reverse magic circle, and the most important thing is the materials that draw the magic circle and some core alchemy circles inside. I didn't expect you to even understand this knowledge, and it seems that there is not much that my teacher and I can teach you. Mrs. Ness said with some surprise.
Field's thought was that alchemy was one of the ancient alchemy techniques banned by the wizarding world, and the original intention of ancient wizards to create this alchemy was to transform the body of wizards, improve their magic power, and use it to assist in magical transformation. Of course, these magical experiments ultimately failed. Later, the alchemy of the spirit flesh was passed down, and its important research direction became the creation of powerful magical creatures. Many of the magical creatures in the wizarding world today were first created from the alchemy of the flesh, the most famous of which were Kemera, the Sphinx, and the Pentapo.
However, later this alchemy gradually disappeared in the wizarding world, and I didn't expect Master Nicolame to actually know the alchemy of the spiritual flesh, and the alchemy of the spiritual flesh is actually the key to refining the Philosopher's Stone.
Field gradually became interested, because in his previous Slytherin notes, he happened to find some records of using psychic alchemy to guide safe magic transformation, the notes were very complete and detailed, and Slytherin himself had tried it himself, it was indeed a mature magic transformation technique, but the notes lacked the drawings and knowledge of psychic alchemy. Maybe Slytherin didn't expect that 1,000 years later, such an important alchemical knowledge as the alchemy of the spirit flesh would be lost.
"I want to learn, Grandma Nice, I want to learn. Field said firmly.
PS: The Swedish short-nosed dragon is a silvery-blue fire dragon that is striking on the outside, and people are looking for its leather-made gloves and shields. It spewed out a dazzling blue flame from its nostrils that could turn wood and bones to ashes in an instant. Compared to most fire dragons, the short-nosed dragon has a better reputation, despite its preference for living in uninhabited and inhospitable areas and having fewer homicides.
The Ukrainian Iron Belly is one of the largest fire dragons in the world. The drama understands that it can weigh up to six tons. The iron-bellied body is rounded, and it flies slower than that of the fangs or longhorns, but it is very, very dangerous, and when it lands from the air, it crushes dwellings to powder. Its scales are shiny gray, its eyes are crimson, its claws are particularly long, and it is particularly vicious. Ever since 1799, when an iron belly swept a ship out of the Black Sea, they have been the subject of surveillance by the Ukrainian wizarding authorities.
The long-horned dragon had black-green scales and long horns that shimmered with golden light. Its horns can be used to kill its prey, which is then roasted. After these horns are crushed into powder, they are highly valuable and can be used as formulations for potions. Romania, the native of the long-horned dragon, has now become the most important dragon sanctuary of time, where shamans from all over the world can study a wide variety of dragons up close. Historically, the longhorn has been the subject of intensive breeding programs, as its numbers have decreased dramatically in recent years due to the fact that people bought and sold its horns, and now its horns are a Class B tradable commodity (a dangerous commodity under strict control).
Albumineye is a fire dragon native to New Zealand. It is known that they migrated to Australia when their native territory became less and less. What makes this fire dragon unusual compared to other fire dragons is that it lives in valleys rather than mountains. It is of modest size (between two and three tons). It is perhaps the prettiest of all the dragons, with pearl-made scales that are rainbow-colored, sparkling and colorful, and its eyes have no pupils, hence the name albumen eyes. This fire dragon is capable of spewing a very bright red flame, and according to dragon standards, it is not particularly aggressive, except when hungry and rarely kills. Its favorite food is sheep, but it is also known to attack larger prey. In the late seventies of the twentieth century, a large number of kangaroos were killed, which was done by a male fire dragon. The male dragon was driven out of his homeland because he couldn't fight a powerful female dragon. The eggs of the albumen-eyed are grayish-white, and unwary Muggles will mistake them for fossils.
