Chapter 15: McGonagall's Book
Weston remembered the lesson of lunch for a long time, and dinner was simply eaten at the Room of Requirement.
I'm still a kid! Weston sighed......
After dinner, Weston walked through the door of the Room of Requirement and into McGonagall's office.
"You're here, Weston!" Seeing Weston come in, McGonagall smiled kindly.
Although McGonagall is usually very serious, Weston knows that this older cat lady is just a big tsundere like Snape, but not as obvious as Snape's tsundere.
Don't forget, McGonagall is an authentic Gryffindor!
"Good evening, Professor McGonagall!" Weston whispered a greeting, walked over to the chair in front of McGonagall's desk, and sat down.
"Wait a minute, Weston, you can read the book first, I still have some homework to correct!" McGonagall spoke, then lowered her head, and there was a stack of parchment, which appeared to be the students' homework.
Do you read...... Weston saw a small bookshelf on the left side of his office, with a few books on it.
"Advanced Transfiguration", "The Release of the Wild: A Detailed Explanation of Animagus", "Analysis of the Law of Gamp's Transfiguration", ......
Wait, that's .......
Weston looked at McGonagall, who was grading her homework, and quietly stood up, walked over to the bookshelf, and quietly pulled out his target, a book that looked to be a few years old.
There are no bells and whistles on the cover of this book, only a few big red letters, and the author's name is underneath, which looks very plain.
As for why Weston chose this book......
Because the name of the book is - "Alchemy and Metamorphosis", and the author is - Nicol Lemay.
Weston frowned, his instincts telling him that the book must be something very shocking.
Turning the cover, above the title page is a striking passage: "What is the highest achievement of alchemy?" If we think of nature as an alchemist, then man himself is an alchemical object, therefore, I think the highest achievement of alchemy should be - the refinement of the human body! ”
it! Weston was so frightened that he almost threw the book out.
Isn't this shocking? It's just a big rebellion! Weston was a little afraid to look at it, but his curiosity drove him to look behind him......
The book was not thick, it was only dozens of pages tight, but Weston's face turned blue when he saw it, and cold sweat kept flowing down his forehead.
This is a madman, a dark wizard, compared to an alchemist, he is a child at all! Weston cursed inwardly.
No way, if the content of this book spreads, it will definitely cause a bloody storm!
The human body is refined, the blood is fused, and the biological transformation is ...... Although this book is not a book of black magic, if you want to achieve the above things, then you have to pay at least half the human life.
The Philosopher's Stone is also mentioned in the book, although there is no detailed description of the material, but it is mentioned in general.
The principle of the Philosopher's Stone is very simple, it is the supreme law of alchemists - equivalent exchange, and the inspiration comes from vampires!
Nicol Lemay had caught two vampires when he was younger, and he was extremely interested in this dark creature, so he studied it carefully, and the final harvest was indeed not small.
Nicol Lemay discovers that vampires themselves are not actually living beings, but dead things, dead creatures that are intelligent, powerful, and can reproduce. Nicola called them "necromantic creatures", meaning dead but alive.
What can a dead thing live on? After some research, Nicol discovered that the life of vampires is only possible because of their food, blood, and thus the power in blood.
"There is power in the blood of wizards, this power is not magic, but it is the root of magic, and I have reason to suspect that this power can make people stronger and live longer! I call it the 'source'"
"After researching, I found that the power of the source can be absorbed by wizards, although it does not make people stronger, it can indeed make people continue to live, and the principle is to replace their own decayed source."
"I wonder if there are so many sources in one place, can we make people young at any time? Yes, I made it! It's going to be a super strong find! It will make me the greatest alchemist of all, the Sage! I'm going to call it - the Philosopher's Stone! ”
It turns out that the Philosopher's Stone is just such a thing! Weston thought with an ugly face.
"This book isn't what you can read right now, Weston!"
At some point, McGonagall appeared behind Weston and snatched the book from his hands.
Weston didn't stop him, and the contents of the book didn't actually do much for him, at most it confirmed that part of his conjecture was correct. The other effects did not.
McGonagall was secretly relieved to see that Weston didn't have any nostalgia for the book.
Put away the books that shouldn't be out there in a moment! McGonagall made a secret decision.
"I've heard from Professor Dumbledore, Weston!" McGonagall looked at Weston solemnly, "If you want to learn Transfiguration, of course I'm willing to teach you, but I have a request!" ”
"Say, Professor!" Weston listened obediently.
"You know, Transfiguration is the most dangerous form of modern magic! If you don't study hard and think seriously, you will practice indiscriminately, which will lead to great adverse consequences! Feel free, Weston, you must not come to nonsense! This is my request and warning! ”
"Okay, Professor!" Weston nodded quickly.
"Good!" McGonagall had a smile on her face, but quickly dispersed, "Go to your room, you know what I mean!" ”
There is a room for all needs! Weston knew that McGonagall was talking about this, and nodded without hesitation, leading the way ahead.
It wasn't a long road, but it was enough for McGonagall to get a little bit of Weston's level. McGonagall was surprised by Weston's self-taught primary Transfiguration, but more than that, it was a surprise!
Teachers love smart students!
"Now that you've learned the Elementary Transfiguration Technique, let's start with the Intermediate Transfiguration Technique!" McGonagall smiled at Weston.
"Absolutely! I listen to you, Professor! Weston nodded quickly, looking at her expectantly.
"Good!" McGonagall nodded in satisfaction, "So, you should know the requirements for the Intermediate Transfiguration?" ”
"Are you instructing the dead to become alive, Professor?" Weston asked.
"No, that's not right!" McGonagall shook her head.
"Isn't that right?" Weston was a little confused.
Looking at Weston's expression, McGonagall suddenly understood, and sighed, "I'd better tell you the basics first, Weston." ”
Foundation? Weston was a little square, but looking at McGonagall's expression, he was smart enough not to speak......
