Chapter 21: Esoteric Alchemy



It was made of neither paper nor parchment, and the text and illustrations in the book were not painted on, but seemed to be stamped on with metal. The book was very thin, with only twenty-one pages, but the page numbers in the corners were not marked in order.

Instead, there is a "seven" marked every seven pages, three in total.

According to the general understanding of the wizarding world, "seven" is indeed a magical number. In fact, there is a course in Hogwarts that specifically mentions this magical number, and Voldemort also loves seven very much.

However, in alchemy, "three" is also a magical number.

As for the contents of the book, he couldn't understand it at all.

The knowledge that Voldemort possessed in his fifth year seemed a little superficial compared to the more advanced knowledge. Not to mention, even Nicolas Flamel, who had the revelation of dreams, took 28 years to decipher the secrets of this book.

Cyrus closed the Jewish Book of Abraham and looked at it next to it. Sure enough, he found another book -

Manuscript of Nicolas Flamel's Book of Hieroglyphics.

In comparison, the thickness of this book is very impressive. Cyrus flipped through a few pages at random, and an opened letter slipped out of the book.

"To Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore "Dear Albus: "After a long time - more than six centuries - dragging our already broken bodies, Perenelle and I have no fear in the face of death. We both want to believe that after knowing our deaths, the world will inevitably feel sorry for the end of our lives and be greedy for our huge wealth, except you, Albus! "We both believe that death is just another adventure, and Perenelle and I have been too late for this adventure.

"Before I leave, I will give you the two most important books I have ever read, in memory of you, my friend who is more than 500 years younger than me but is as wise as I am. In addition, I will leave the rest of my wealth to Beauxbatons. I hope you don't mind. Of course, I know very well that Albus Dumbledore has never been interested in these things.

“I dare not say that I have fully understood the mysteries of the Jewish Book of Abraham. Although this book, which I foresaw in a dream, contains only a few pages, it contains true wisdom and truth. I hope you can keep it properly. It would be even better if you can decipher all its mysteries.

"However, we both know that this is too difficult. During the time when we first met and then worked closely together to explore the secrets of magic and alchemy, you have read this book countless times, but there has been no progress. I am very willing to believe that since it found me through prophecy, then perhaps fate can take it to where it should go.

"Now, because of Voldemort, I am determined to hand over the Philosopher's Stone to you. Perhaps this is a revelation -

"That being said, Perenelle and I still have a lot of elixirs left, so please don't worry about it."

"And: I believe we will meet again soon."

Cyrus closed the letter and finally understood what was going on.

"If someone like Riddle, who fears death so much, knew the existence of this book, he would definitely take it for himself. But Riddle has no memory of it at all. Because it was put into the restricted area by Dumbledore only last year."

The envelope had been opened, which meant that Dumbledore had read Nicolas Flameleu's letter and knew that the two books were actually given to him by Nicolas. However, he had no intention of keeping them for himself. Instead, he selflessly placed them in the restricted area, waiting for what Nicolas called "the revelation of fate."

"Could this revelation be from me?" Cyrus couldn't help but think narcissistically.

If he could really refine the Philosopher's Stone, it would be very helpful for his resurrection. Even if he could only refine some defective products, as long as he could replenish his vitality, the damage to Ginny would be much less.

Thinking of this, Cyrus quickly flipped through the two books, and also selected some other alchemy works in order to draw inferences from other similar studies.

Voldemort's alchemy skills were actually very high. Not only did he obtain the Advanced Wizard Certificate with excellent results, but he also interned in Borgin's shop for a period of time after graduation. However, that was Tom Riddle after graduation, not the fifth-year Tom Riddle now.

"The book 'Islamic Alchemy and the Tree of Life in Kabbalah' records a wizard named Hohenheim, who is said to be another wizard who possesses the Philosopher's Stone. But whether it is true or not is still in doubt." Cyrus flipped through the book quickly.

He was now very happy that he was in a memory state, otherwise it would be impossible for him to memorize all the books in a short time.

Because of his special state at this time, the diary will be equivalent to another precious meditation basin. As long as the books he has read, they will be recorded in the form of pictures. He can record the contents of these books first and analyze them slowly after returning.

Of course, the time required to learn does not actually decrease, it is just relatively safer.

"The Emerald Record, an ancient Egyptian alchemical text, is also of some reference value: To create the miracle of the only thing, you must understand that the things in the upper world are the same as those in the lower world, and the things in the lower world are the same as those in the upper world."

"What is the only thing?"

In addition to the copy of this Emerald Record, there was another book, The Book of Thoth, placed next to it. It had a very deep connection with the Emerald Record, and Cyrus also flipped through it.

At this time, he did not seek to understand it thoroughly, and could even be said to have swallowed it whole. He only looked at it roughly to see if he needed it, and then immediately decided whether to put it down or record it.

Gradually, Cyrus became more and more obsessed with it, until he was awakened by the shrill crowing of cocks outside the castle. He suddenly realized that it was almost dawn.

"I have to go back quickly - I originally wanted to find some powerful books on the dark arts to see if I could increase my strength, but I ended up reading alchemy all night..." Cyrus shook his head, but he was too tireless to feel sorry at all. He was just waiting to return this body to Ginny and then continue to slowly digest the knowledge in his memory space.

Walking quickly in the corridor of Hogwarts, outside the castle, the sky was still dark, but the sky in the east was slowly turning white.

"By the way, the rooster must be killed as quickly as possible."

Before this, Cyrus had killed a rooster, but he didn't dare kill them all at once, otherwise it would be too weird.
