Chapter 429: Elixir of Immortality
"Mike, what are you going to do?Grindelwald is a famous dark wizard, you can't go to him for your safety. www.biquge.infoDumbledore hurriedly stopped Zhao Mai with a sincere look of concern: "No, you can't do such a dangerous thing." ”
"Professor, your news is a little delayed, I've already dueled Grindelwald once, and this is only the second time!" Zhao Mai shook his head at Dumbledore: "I will solve the matter of Grindelwald, but I will also solve the matter of the Oblivion Charm." ”
"Oblivion Charm?" Dumbledore touched his chin and immediately understood what Zhao Mai meant: "I understand, do you want to find a way to retrieve the forgotten memory?" I am also working on the solution of this spell, if you want, it is better to work together." ”
"Are you researching?" Zhao Mai was a little puzzled. He had never heard of it, and it didn't seem to be recorded in "history." Regarding Dumbledore, his main accomplishments, in descending order, are "Defeat the Dark Wizard Gellert Grindelwald, discover the twelve uses of dragon blood, and fruitful research on alchemy with Nicolame", or "Guiding Harry Potter to defeat Lord Voldemort". But when it comes to spells, he doesn't seem to have any particularly well-known results.
Regardless of whether the research was successful, or whether something happened along the way that caused it to fail, Dumbledore was still very sincere. Zhao Mai has his own plans, but there is no need to push out possible allies. "Okay, I'm willing to assist you. If you don't lift the spell, it's empty, and you may get out of control at any time. ”
"Do you know where Grindelwald is now, and do you know how good his transformation skills are? Dumbledore said.
The solution to the Forgetting Spell is very important and can be used to make up for the loss. But Zhao Mai also has other ideas. Living in a world constructed by the "nuclear balance", Zhao Mai knows that deterrence is a powerful means of preventing real destruction. He understood the sorcerers' intentions in trying to "hide" themselves, after all, the hunt for wizards hundreds of years ago was a dark history. What he couldn't understand was why the wizard said that he was going to hide, and at the same time, he continued to move around the human world, without being cautious, and "causing trouble" everywhere. It is even more incomprehensible that they use the Oblivion Charm as a regular method, and they have no scruples about using it against humans who see wizards in action.
Zhao Mai believes that wizards should be allowed to have scruples, and wizards should learn to "either don't have problems or solve them", instead of "hiding the problems" and getting the job done. He was determined to create a deterrent,
This plan must be done independently and cannot be told to anyone, including Dumbledore. Therefore, participating in Dumbledore's research on lifting the Oblivion Spell can be a good cover. Of course, if you want to really start researching, you must first learn the Forgetfulness Illusion Spell, and Zhao Mai must also learn the Phantom Transformation Spell, so that he can really improve his strength.
It's a pity that Tolkien no longer remembers Zhao Mai and can't help him with his research on ancient spells. Regardless, Tolkien demanded that he forget the experience, forget the magic. Although he no longer knew about his request, Zhao Mai respected his wishes, because it was the idea of "his magician friend Tolkien".
"Little flower, first thing, don't die. Zhao Mai drove the car and led the group back to his own potion shop in Hogsmeade Village, and removed many large and small boxes from the car. These were all "reasonably looted" from the Lemay family, after all, Zhao Mai resurrected all the apprentices who died under the attack of the Gargoyle of the Lemay family. While some people have been transformed into kobolds, orcs, lizardmen, and even goblins by resurrection spells, wizards transform spells, and these have little effect on them - not much compared to death.
The effect of reincarnation changing races is considered by Mr. Nicolame to be "a normal manifestation of spell instability", which gives Zhao Mai the green light for continuing to experiment and improve spells with various materials. Although the Philosopher's Stone of Immortality is precious, the Philosopher's Stone of Immortality has never been the Philosopher's Stone of Death among the Three Sacred Weapons that wizards value the most, but the Resurrection Stone of the Grim Reaper. Besides, the effect of that resurrection stone is not as good as Mike's reincarnation magic in some aspects. Mr. Lemay readily agreed to keep the matter a secret, but also hoped that his family would become the patron of the spell.
Funders can then share the benefits of the spell in the first place. Mr. Lemay is not afraid of Zhao Mai's debts, after all, he will not die, and no one will want to use delaying tactics to play tricks on him. Zhao Mai agreed, and then asked for a lot of materials generously, basically all the things mentioned in "Charms", "Potions" and "Medicinal Materials", he asked for a few copies. The old gentleman laughed, saying that he had seen the true skills of high-achieving students who "graduated when they entered the school".
"This time it was a nominal victory over Grindelwald, but in reality I used almost all my tricks, and he kept it all the time. Besides, there is no point in the state of all kinds of assumptions, and our goal is to be foolproof. Zhao Mai used his psychic ability to move out a large glass jar and poured the "backgammon" into it. "The first thing to do, and that is not to die!"
"So you're going to make an elixir of immortality?" Xiaohua shivered as she looked at the pile of Gaia Stones. She had a feeling that she would never be able to escape. It is estimated that soon, Zhao Mai will definitely use this potion to water the flower pot.
"At that time, I was worried that old Mr. Flamel would find out, so I didn't ask you to sit in on it. Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua: "He told me that the Philosopher's Stone, or the Stone of Gaia, to make the Elixir of Immortality, is also time-limited, and it is not that you don't have to worry about drinking it again." If you just soak in wine, then the effect is to prolong your life for about half a year. ”
"Didn't he lie to you in the first place?"
"Of course not. Zhao Mai shook his head and said: "Soak medicinal wine for a month, drink it for half a year, this is indeed eternal life...... At first, he only concealed another way of using the Philosopher's Stone, which was more powerful. Philosopher's Stone can turn rock into gold, and its essence is to change the properties of matter. If an organism with longevity characteristics is added to the brew, some of its properties will be transferred to the final potion. Didn't he say that the Chinese would put snakes or tiger bones in it, in fact, it was a subtle reminder. ”
Xiaohua nodded, indicating that she understood. "If it's useful, I can donate leaves!"
"Thank you. Zhao Mai counted the number of Gaia's stones, and then said with satisfaction: "Old Mr. Flamel said that if you are hit by Avada, you really can't lift it. And you and I know that there is no resurrection of the soul when it is scattered. But since it's a life, just give it one. Each of the Gaia Stones' potions counts as a life before it expires, and it can cancel the Avadaso Curse once. In an unknown duel, he was struck by the Death Seeker. The severe pain all over his body was unbearable, but he survived and fought back to the surprise of his enemies and won the victory. He had never told anyone about it, so the outside world still thought that there was no curse for Avada's life. I don't ask you to fight back, but to avoid death first. ”
"We really have to drink!" Xiaohua covered her face and looked shy: "I'll be drunk!"
"Trees get drunk too?" Zhao Mai shook his head in disbelief. The reserve grain looked very excited, wagging its tail vigorously - but everything it heard about delicious food and drink was like this, so Zhao Mai didn't care.
The leaves of the comprehension tree, the lingzhi, the nine-turn golden pill, and then a mess of medicinal herbs were thrown into it one after another. This is followed by the feathers of the phoenix, the horns of the unicorn and other animal products. Although unicorn products are contraband from the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Flamell obviously doesn't care much, and of course he can't imagine that Zhao Mai would really use such a precious thing to soak in wine and drink. Zhao Mai picked up "one of the dragon's claws", no matter how you look at it, it looks like a wurm's claw, that is, a flying lizard, a bipedal wyvern and other creatures. He thought about it, took out the fossilized dragon egg he had gotten from Westeros, and threw it in.
Can kill the dragon crystal of the ghost?Zhao Mai threw this thing into it as well. He thought about it, turned into a ghost, cut off a strand of hair and threw it in.
After looking at the reserve grain for a long time, I finally stopped wagging my tail. And after Zhao Mai brought a vat full of highly purified liquor and poured it in, it clamped its tail and sneaked away, rarely appearing in front of this medicinal wine jar......
