Chapter 521 Alchemy
——‘Alchemy, a very rigorous and complex science, is not easy to define it. The wizarding world often defines it as a skill that aims to convert base metals into gold, or prepare eternal potions.
But in my opinion, this is only the simplest explanation of the technical level of alchemy, and it must not outline the full meaning of alchemy.’
On the wide playground behind Busbaton Palace, the stadium where students were playing Quidditch was originally filled with low walls surrounded by piles of stone vines, covering nearly two acres of land.
——‘The knowledge involved in alchemy is extremely broad and profound. It can be said to be the first cosmology in the world.
In Hermesism, alchemy, astrology and magical powers are listed as the three great wisdoms in the universe. Therefore, Hermes in Greek mythology is also respected as the ancestor of alchemy!
Of course, according to my research, the birthplace of alchemy is Egypt and Arabia, not Greece. As for why some people have always believed that alchemy originated from Greece...
I think it must be because alchemy was truly developed in the West by relying on the influence of the Athenian school...'
There are three military lines in the square battlefield, and each military line has towering defensive walls.
Each city wall always emits a special fluctuation outward. Once a non-our-own unit leans in, the unit's defense mechanism will be reduced.
Whether it is a wizard or a continuous stream of alchemy puppets, once the defense mechanism is exhausted, it will turn into a statue and summon it back to the spring water to replenish its state!
——‘The foundation of alchemy is the same as that of magic, both cuneiform!
It is a kind of pictogram with magical power. People can gain incredible power through writing, reading, comprehension, memory, etc. This is the prototype of a wizard!
People in ancient times gained the magical power of magic by studying various cuneiform characters.
But as time goes by, magic power gradually becomes entangled with bloodlines, and the inheritance of power is no longer based on knowledge, but instead depends on bloodlines. Since then, cuneiform characters are no longer the only way to master magic power.
It is precisely for this reason that the cuneiform characters with cuneiform characters gradually declined, and with the help of cuneiform characters, they were also abandoned by wizards who were inherited by blood.
The emerging blood wizard invented a spellcasting method based on emotions and will and guided by Latin affixes. This method is the source of the spell we see today...'
Three lines of troops and a river channel divide the square battlefield into four areas, each with neutral wild monsters of different sizes.
Wizards can gain an advantage by defeating these wild monsters by increasing their defense mechanisms and companions.
But if you are killed by wild monsters, your own defense mechanism will become weak for a period of time. Both the enemy and us can design different strategies and tactics to fight with wild monsters as the core.
The wild monsters in the four areas are different from the terrain, including mountains, forests, lakesides, and urban areas, and will be randomly replaced every once in a while.
Everything is not for fairness, but for trying to simulate various practical environments as realistically as possible.
After all, Wang Xuebin and Nicolemay both knew that this game was not for winning or losing, but for students to come into contact with real actual combat. If you blindly demand fairness and ignore actual combat, then put the cart before the horse!
——‘...But, the good times won’t last long.
Just as people were cheering for the new magic of ease and convenience, some people suddenly discovered that with the iteration of bloodlines, the magic power of newborns was much worse than before.
There are more and more squibs and people without talent, and the power of the new wizard is getting weaker and weaker.
The magicians who once dared to be side by side with the gods, the wizards who could create a city by themselves, are now even struggling to create a block.
The wizards began to panic...
They wanted to find the reason, but it was too late...
Cuneiform has been lost, and the magic world cannot even find someone who can read Cuneiform through it, so the turmoil begins...’
Students participating in the battle can use any magic at will through their traits wands. When the magic is determined to be successfully used by the wand, the traits wand will emit a special effect of sound and light, and the defense mechanism of the students who are hit will also produce a corresponding judgment.
Either use magic defense, reduce defense mechanisms, or kill with one blow. In this game, only the students' own strength is the key to truly dominating the victory or defeat on the battlefield!
——‘The rebellion of the black magic creatures, the rebellion of the goblins, the people who once petted dragons, fell to the point of being hunted by muggles!
The wizards were very unwilling to accept it, but there was no way. This tragic and dark decline continued until the establishment of the first magic academy, Hogwarts, which was truly alleviated.
The four giants established the Hogwarts Magic Academy, integrating the knowledge originally inherited by the family, and offering courses on ancient magical literature in the academy!
This move effectively alleviates the problem of talent reduction caused by iteration of wizard power.
Although every student who has learned ancient magical literature cannot have the same great power as his predecessors, he can at least stop his own decline and prevent his descendants from losing their talent for using magic forever!
The theory of bloodline advocated by the Dark King today only really emerged during this period!’
Each military line has three defensive city walls. By reducing the defensive mechanism of the defensive city wall, the defensive city wall can lose its defensive effect.
Destroy all the defensive walls on a certain line and you can seize the flag that represents the enemy's identity standing in front of the local spring!
Battles are battles one after another. Pulling off the local flag means winning a war!
——‘...This is the source of alchemy and the prerequisite for learning alchemy!
The more cuneiform characters you master, the more appropriate alchemy array you draw will be. With the ability to draw alchemy array, you can say that you have entered the door of alchemy!
As for giving substances activity and allowing active substances to merge and produce new substances, this is more advanced knowledge. If you want to master these, you must at least be able to draw three basic magic arrays in a complete way!’
Although the victory or loss of a battle is important, only the victory of the war is the ultimate winner!
It is very simple to win a battle. It only requires absolute strength. But if you want to win war, wisdom, strength, unity, sacrifice, and all kinds of qualities are indispensable.
Wang Xuebin is to make the students stronger in combat, not to make the students afraid of war. If the weak people cannot see a glimmer of hope, they will not be able to find someone to resist!
Wang Xuebin just wants to tell them through this game that whether it is Voldemort or Dumbledore, a powerful person may not be the one who can laugh to the end!
Only in this way can the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix have enough confidence to fight, and only in this way can Wang Xuebin turn the tide, he can win enough reputation and achieve his ulterior motives.
"If...I mean...I have mastered the means to give material activity...how far is it from creating a Philosopher's Stone?"
Looking at the teachers and students running back and forth on the square battlefield, Nicolme frowned slightly, turned his head, looked at Wang Xuebin, and said in a deep voice:
"Alchemy is a very rigorous knowledge, one step at a time, and there is no way to miss the slightest mistakes and no shortcuts to speak of!
I think you shouldn’t be so ambitious!”
Hearing this, Wang Xuebin raised his brows slightly, pulled out a gold coin, gently rubbed it with the activation technique, handed it to Nicolamee, who was frowning beside him, and said softly:
"...No other meaning, I'm just curious..."
Looking at the spiritual gold coin in his hand, Nicolemay couldn't speak for a long time, stood in amazement for a while, and finally breathed out a breath of turbid air.
