After Winter Solstice left, Tom took the Menes Slate back to the Room of Requirement. By this time, Winter Solstice had already left. Tom and Hermione sat at the table together and looked at the emerald slate in their hands.
"According to Menis, this stone slab no longer looks like an alchemy tool, but more like..."
"The wishing machine!" Tom answered, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
That's right, Menis has successfully turned alchemy, the most difficult operation in the magic world, into something like a vending machine. You only need to provide enough blood to complete the alchemy.
Tom took a careful look at the emerald slate in front of him, which was engraved with several columns of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs. On the top of the slate, there were four black gemstones inlaid in a row, and a hole. He didn't know what it was for.
"Hurry up and put the blood on it!" Hermione urged from the side. She couldn't wait to see how this magical stone slab worked. Naturally, Tom didn't hesitate and dropped the blood of Menes that was used in the experiment just now.
On the stone slab.
Blood droplets dripped on the slate, just like water droplets hitting the sand, quickly seeping into the slate. Tom watched as the ghostly hieroglyphs gradually became covered with a layer of dark red traces. It seemed that the blood had seeped into the slate.
The back of the stone slab has been collected into the grooves of the text.
The amount of blood in one drop is obviously too small. However, the quality of the blood is very high - the main body is taken from Menes himself, and the amount of multiplication in the mouse's body is only a fraction, and in terms of quantity, it may be far less than that taken from the mother's body.
blood.
After the blood seeped in, Tom understood the function of the black gems on the top of the slate: they turned over little by little, exposing the other side. It turned out that the back of the black gems on the slate had a piece of different sizes and shapes attached to it.
For the same ruby, when the side of the black gem is turned into the stone slab, the ruby will be exposed. This drop of Tom's blood caused the three rubies to rotate.
Obviously, a three-star level alchemical creation is the limit of this alchemy. It is understandable that a creation powered by the blood of Menes would not be able to exert its strongest effect due to insufficient blood volume.
Three stars, Tom frowned slightly. This star rating is neither high nor low. The items produced are likely to be useless, making him difficult to make a decision for a while, "Is there anything you want?
"He looked at Hermione, hoping to get some inspiration from her.
"Actually, I really want to take a vacation... Even if I go out of school to do tasks, it will be better than now..." Hermione sighed slightly, which made Tom stunned. Seeing that Tom was a little surprised, Hermione rolled her eyes at him.
: "I'm not a tough guy, so I'm naturally tired from taking so many classes at the same time, not to mention the homework assigned by the professors."
Tom said angrily: Didn't you ask for this? Who asked you to sign up for so many classes? But even though he scolded Hermione, an idea flashed through Tom's mind, and he seemed to know what to do.
There is a tricky way to make low-star items have the same effect as high-star items - that is to make low-star items defective, which not only have heaven-defying effects but also have huge negative effects. For example... one-time use.
An alchemical creation can only be used once before being destroyed, so its star rating will certainly not be much higher, but that does not prevent it from having extremely powerful effects.
Tom planned to make a one-time alchemy creation so that Hermione could have time to take a vacation. After he had a specific idea, he took a piece of magic silver from the material cabinet on the side and placed it on the jadeite slab.
, Immediately afterwards, the magic silver began to deform little by little, and at the same time, the dark red traces in the writing grooves on the slate gradually receded.
Soon, the magic silver turned into a soft little sleeve, and the emerald stone slab returned to its original state before the blood dripped.
"What is this?" Hermione picked up the soft silver sleeve, curious.
[Disposable protective cover (Samsung): It can be put on the time converter. Before it is damaged, the time converter will not be damaged even if the time goes back more than five hours]
After Tom told Hermione about the function of this condom, Hermione immediately understood Tom's intention: time is tight now, so let's "borrow" some time from the past. The time converter in their hands is actually
There is no shortage of them. In addition to the time converter sent by Menis, they also have the one lent to them by the Ministry of Magic. But there is a problem. Both converters are a bit inconvenient to use. Menis's converter is retroactive.
Time is probably measured in hundreds of years, and it can take them back to ancient times in one go. The Ministry of Magic's converter is the other extreme - it can only go back five hours at most.
If Tom wants to go back three days, sorry, although they have two time turners, they can't do that. This protective case can reverse this situation and make the upper limit of time travel longer, which means
…
"Holiday!" Hermione suddenly became excited. Even a top student like Hermione was still happy when she saw a holiday. She immediately started counting on her fingers what she could do.
"First finish the paper assigned by Professor Binns about the weird Ulric, and then write a technical summary for the Potions class. The homework for the Transfiguration class has been finished, so let's review it and preview it... This way, the first day will be almost the same
Already..."
Listening to Hermione's "vacation" plan, Tom was stunned: This thing is not for you to use like this!
"Stop! This is not a vacation! This is simply a cram school!" Tom can no longer let Hermione plan like this - because he has several projects in the same group as Hermione. If she wants to write a thesis,
Then you can't escape it either.
It stands to reason that if you are in a group with a top student, you can fish and paddle, but it is different if you are in a group with Hermione. Hermione knows Tom's abilities very well and will definitely not leave it to Tom to paddle when arranging plans.
Space. If Tom couldn't finish it, she wouldn't force him. She would just take over Tom's work and complete it independently by herself. After doing this once, Tom could no longer bear to share his tasks with others.
Hermione - I feel bad.
"What is a holiday? It should be about going for a walk on the sunny streets and driving a convertible out for a drive, instead of sitting in the corner of the library and burying yourself in a pile of books." Tom criticized righteously.
He asked Hermione a lot.
"Okay then," Hermione took a step back, "How about we first see how far the time turner can go back, and then decide what to do?"
Tom supported Hermione's idea. If you want to make arrangements, you should at least check how many days of "holiday" there are. Although one-day leave and seven-day leave can both be called holidays, there is a huge difference.
Hermione took out the time turner from her chest and installed the protective cover.
