Chapter 100 Memoirs of a Geisha(1/2)
Standing by the river, William aimed his wand at the surface of the river.
The river water slowly separated, revealing a huge step that extended to the depths of the river bottom.
The two walked along the steps and towards the bottom, and soon disappeared, and the separated water flow returned again, covering the passage.
This river is not the cursed river outside, but the inland river surrounding the house.
There are also a large number of fat koi in the river, as well as other edible fish.
But William often air force.
After all, as a 15-level tycoon in the previous life, I can actually do everything except fishing... This metaphysics must be respected.
As for why the two of them came here, of course they were not here to fish... and there is a laboratory for refining magic stones below.
The refining of philosopher's stone requires a large area to store various cutting-edge instruments.
William was first placed in his own safety table.
But the failure of the experiment caused an explosion, and the powerful aftermath directly affected the stability of the traceless stretching curse.
William didn't want to destroy the safety watch, so he moved the laboratory to his home.
He dug a basement under the house.
Everything went very smoothly until one night when William left the laboratory and let the instrument run automatically.
He thought it was okay, but he didn't expect the crucible to leak.
At that time, William was conducting dual cultivation with Hermione, in contact with a magical forbidden spell
After only half an hour of exercise, William, who was slightly sweating, was wading in the mountains and rivers, heard an explosion.
Yes, the crucible leaked, causing the laboratory to explode.
William, who was forcibly interrupted to cast the spell, was still frightened.
The most important thing is that a corner of my house was shaken down and the glass was shattered.
Hermione's well-decorated house was a mess, and she was so angry that she kicked William off the bed.
He was also forced to hit the floor for half a month...
Since then, the laboratory has carried out its third move, moving to the depths of the river a little further away.
This time William did the most stringent reinforcement to prevent problems.
Because Hermione grabbed his ear and said, if there is still a problem, don’t go to bed for half a year, just put it on the floor...
Since then, William's lab has never had any problems.
Therefore, if you don’t force yourself, you don’t know how great your potential is!
Following the steps, one hundred meters down step by step, Nico continued to talk about the topic just now.
"Actually, the first little wizard I like was not Lily, but Snape.
He has a strong talent for potions, but unfortunately, his mind tends toward the Death Eater.
Albus gave me a suggestion to contact Lily Evans.”
William was amazed, and he didn't expect Professor Snape to miss such a great opportunity.
Therefore, becoming a Death Eater is probably the last thing he has done in his life.
Not only did he missed his childhood sweetheart, but he also lost the opportunity to make magic stones and gain immortality.
You said that if you lived for hundreds of years, wouldn’t you be able to dance to the grave of your mortal enemy James every hundred years?
How happy is this?
Nico continued:
"Anyway, I started writing letters to Lily, teaching her a lot of knowledge about potions and alchemy."
"Lily is really talented. She is the most talented witch I have ever seen in the past few decades except Hermione."
William nodded.
Professor Slughorn has praised this more than once.
Even in his mouth, Lily was better than Snape in terms of potions.
William always thought it was Snape's weakness, but he didn't expect that Nico had taught Lily a lot of things.
So the question is, why is Harry so big?
If you want to say that you lack the education of the wizard family, Lily is also from a Muggle, and you have not seen Harry inherit much talent.
William suddenly remembered something and asked:
"You actually taught the prehistoric mystery that Lily used?"
"It's me." Niko sighed.
"I originally gave her the protection spell to use the power of love to build a strong defense in her home to resist the invasion of Voldemort."
The prehistoric mystery with the "power of love" as the core does not only protect people, but can also be regarded as defensive magic.
"Although it will consume some life, the effect is very good, and there is no possibility of leakage." Nico shook his head and said:
"Lily believes that the spell of loyalty is enough. In the end, before she dies, she can only use the spell of protection on her son at the cost of her life."
Nico looked at William and sighed:
"After Lily's death, I haven't found a suitable candidate for these years until you show up."
Without William, he really doesn't know how many years it will take to train another wizard who can make magic stones.
The two of them walked slowly forward and walked to the front of a door before pausing for a moment.
There is a sea eagle sign on the door. After seeing William, it waved its wings and automatically opened the door.
The room behind the door has soft lighting, red sandstone-paved walls, and obsidian floors.
The room was square and spacious, but it was filled with various instruments at this time.
It looks like a computer room that filled several rooms decades ago.
These are tools used to make Philosopher's Stones.
As the brightest pearl in the alchemy crown, not everyone can make the Philosopher's Stone.
Even if you get the refining method, it won't work.
It’s like an atomic bomb, everyone can find the basic principles online, but why can’t other countries refine it?
Once the five major rogue states are produced, forcibly launching "hospice concerns" is one aspect, and most importantly, in addition to uranium mines, a complete set of industrial foundations is also required.
The same is true for the Philosopher's Stone, which requires a set of high-precision alchemy instruments.
Without these, I want to make it out of thin air with a few magic or some crucibles?
Who do you look down on?
William has been learning these high-precision instruments over the years.
He made the instruments in this room.
In fact, the way Nico refined the magic stone now is already very different from the version originally provided by the Alchemy Book.
It became more convenient, and ignored the skills of the alchemist himself, and began to pay attention to tools.
Not only the refining of magic stones, but also many other alchemy items, he is committed to simplifying them.
Therefore, a wizard like him, who has the idea of pursuing eternal life, does not really want eternal life.
Instead, it has a greater goal and is separated from low-level fun.
If you want to talk about the essential difference between him and other wizards:
The first is the desire for knowledge; the second is various experimental and hands-on abilities.
Through these two abilities, Nico has been on the road of self-growth.
If he really gave him enough time, he would probably be able to create a Deathly Halloween even if he couldn't find the Snake Wood Wand.
This is not a difficult thing, but should be classified as a "natural".
For this purpose, what he needs is not strength, what he needs is only a long life.
This is also because he has been constantly refining magic stones, but it is just to better understand the world and transform him.
Therefore, demand determines behavior and produces results. Nico's longevity comes from his own needs.
After some disinfection, William ignited an incense potion used to purify the magic factor in the air.
Many laboratories require sterility and no static electricity.
Refining the Philosopher's Stone is no exception.
It requires a harsh environment, and there is no way to interfere with a magic magnetic field in the air.
Then, the two changed into pure white French work clothes, and finally disinfected them with magic potions before entering the laboratory.
To be continued...
