Chapter 18 The Origin of Dark Alchemy (Please subscribe)

As mentioned before, alchemy was extremely popular in medieval Europe.

But what Wright never thought about was that this so-called popularity included alchemists actively summoning demons from hell and making contracts with them on their own. Then they led their own alchemical creations and demonic legions to directly confront the Holy Cult and go to war with the angels in heaven!

What a mess!

These were the only four words that came to Wright's mind when he saw the description of the Alchemy War in the Time Corridor.

Although Wright had learned from Nicolas Flamel as early as the end of last month that there were traces of angels in the Harry Potter world, he never thought that the predecessor of the Harry Potter world would actually be Such an awesome world of high magic!

Whether they are gods or demons, they all exist!

There are even dark alchemists who can reach the realm of gods in human form!

In order to break through the limitations of their own magic power, the alchemists of the Middle Ages thought of many ways and tried many experimental activities.

As time went by, alchemists gradually classified the methods of breaking through the limitations of magic power into two paths: one was to sign a contract with the demons of hell, and the other was to sign a contract with magical animals that were naturally more powerful in magic power.

After signing the contract, the alchemists will receive a larger magic bonus to increase their control over alchemy. On the other hand, alchemists can also use these limited-breaking magic powers to advance alchemy, thus creating powerful alchemical works one after another.

However, as time went by, alchemists gradually discovered that although those magical animals were born with greater magic power than wizards, they were often much lower in intelligence than human wizards.

Although signing a contract with magical animals is much less difficult than signing a contract with demons, the subsequent management is also much more difficult.

There are even some examples of magical animals that are cruel in nature and actively harm alchemists in violation of contract provisions. Sometimes, magical animals die directly while fighting each other, which also brings great trouble to the alchemists. After all, in the refining process of alchemy items, continuous and stable magic power input is absolutely indispensable.

Slowly, fewer and fewer alchemists signed contracts with magical animals, while more and more alchemists signed contracts with demons. Eventually, contract demons became the mainstream method used by alchemists to break through the limits of their own magic.

But of course there are advantages and disadvantages, and the Contract Demon certainly has a bad side.

Although it is safer to sign a contract with a demon than a contract with a magical animal, when the demon signs a contract with the alchemists, it usually requires a lot of bloody and cruel additional conditions in the contract, which also leads to the Some of the alchemists who made pacts with the devil gradually became notorious.

The alchemists who finally signed a contract with the devil are called dark alchemists by the Holy Cult, and the powerful alchemy tools they refine are also called magic tools.

Later, the Alchemy War broke out.

More and more alchemists took the initiative to sign contracts with the demons of hell, setting off one bloody frenzy across the entire land of Europe. They twist minds, spread diseases, harvest souls, manipulate space, play with time, and do almost anything evil.

The self-proclaimed dark alchemist of chaos and evil has naturally had countless conflicts between the Holy Cult, which naturally represents order and rules. As conflicts accumulated, war finally came.

In the early days of the war, the dark alchemists once gained a huge advantage with the help of demons and alchemical tools. However, the Holy Cult still struggled to hold on. It was not until they received a response from Heaven that the scene of the war began to change.

After hundreds of years of alchemical wars, the Holy Cult finally succeeded in defeating the dark alchemists and their demonic legions with the help of angels. Then, with the joint efforts of the Holy Cult and the angels, the entrance from hell to the human world was directly sealed, making it impossible for the dark alchemists to sign a contract with the devil.

In order to avoid another war, the Holy Cult took the initiative to carry out several brutal purge campaigns after victory. On the one hand, it directly destroyed most of the alchemy books and alchemy materials that still existed in the world at that time. On the other hand, it also destroyed all the magic tools refined by the dark alchemists. Some magic tools that were too powerful to be destroyed directly were suppressed by the Holy Cult in the deepest part of the Central Church.

The line of alchemists has basically completely disappeared since then, no alchemical classics remain, and almost no crystallization of wisdom left by the predecessors remains. What are still circulating in the outside world are just some residues left by the dark alchemists, and even the Holy Cult does not take them seriously.

On the other side, innocent wizards also suffered great misfortune.

In the early fifteenth century, as the alchemical war between the dark alchemists and the Holy Cult gradually intensified, the persecution of wizards also intensified on the mainland.

At that time, some wizards chose to move to the New World of America with their inheritance. However, the wizards who remained on the continent of Europa experienced painful lessons and finally, under the leadership of the Wizards' Council, promulgated the "International Law" in 1689. Since then, the wizarding world has automatically gone underground and sealed itself tightly.

Especially in the past two hundred years, with the closure of the passage between hell and the human world and the advancement and development of science and technology, people's belief in heaven has also become weak, and devils and angels have disappeared one after another.

In the books that Wright read, no devil has ever come to the world again, and the Holy Religion has never received even one response from heaven.

…

"How's it going? Have you rested now?" Nicoléme, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the tall boy in front of him with satisfaction. He originally thought that it would take Wright at least six years to turn back the time in the corridor. Completely read those books. But I didn't expect that in just two years, Wright would have walked out of the time corridor.

"Well, I feel like I'm completely rested." Wright nodded in response.

During the two years in the Time Corridor, Wright not only grew in his knowledge of alchemy, but also continued to grow in age and body.

Wright looks completely different now than he did two weeks ago.

Wright's height suddenly increased by more than 20 centimeters, and now he is over 1.7 meters tall. In addition, the baby fat on Wright's face that he had been worrying about for a long time has finally completely dissipated. From a pure appearance point of view, Wright is almost the same as a student who has just graduated from Hogwarts.
