Chapter 234 End of the Meeting and Progress of Alchemy
Seeing the questioning looks from everyone, Old Barnett was not at all flustered. He laughed and explained, "Didn't I mention this to you just now? Borgin and Burke's! If the price is right, the Burkes in their store should be able to hold back a red robe, right?"
"Is this Bock so strong?" Heyman exclaimed in disbelief.
Barnett's expression became serious. "Heyman, Borgin and Burke's has stood the test of time. During the Second Wizarding War, no matter how big the storm was, Borgin and Burke's still provided stable services to pure-blood families. Even if the task was to seize certain benefits from the Dark Lord, or to protect the employer and family from the Death Eaters. So, have you ever thought about the reason?"
Old Fry's words not only surprised Heyman, but also everyone present, especially Yang Tian. This was not in the original story at all! He didn't know whether the original story omitted a lot of important content, or whether the world had changed because of his arrival?
But he didn't have time to think about it, and said solemnly: "Well, Grandpa, you will be responsible for contacting the Borgin and Burke store for relevant matters."
"But even so, there are only Dumbledore and Borgin who have high-end combat power. We are still at a disadvantage." Old Li frowned.
"Maybe... maybe we can find the one in Hungary." Keira said after thinking for a while, but her voice trembled a little.
"Please explain yourself clearly. How would I know who you are talking about if you are being so irrelevant?" Sally looked at her sisters with dissatisfaction.
"Arabella Bathory, the one in Sayit Castle." Keira said hesitantly.
"What? Are you crazy?" Mrs. Zabini's voice became sharp. "She is the descendant of that mad woman. She is as bloodthirsty as that mad woman."
"Who are you talking about?" The conversation between the three people aroused Yang Tian's interest, and he couldn't help but ask puzzledly.
"Arabella Bathory is a vampire countess and a descendant of the famous Bloody Mary in history. She has been hiding in Hungary for many years, but no one dares to cause trouble for her. But the problem is that she herself is a big trouble. It is said that she inherited her mother's talent, as well as her mother's ferocity and tyranny. Her subordinates are all sinister and cruel vampire descendants." Mrs. Zabini carefully explained the past and present life of this female vampire to everyone:
"It is said that the Dark Lord had sought cooperation with her. But for some reason, it did not come to fruition. But the Dark Lord did not cause trouble for her, and the two sides lived in peace. So there are rumors that this countess who has lived for hundreds of years is not less powerful than Voldemort."
"Vicious and tyrannical?" Yang Tian fell into deep thought. After a long while, he said, "Let's send someone to contact them first, just to test the waters. We have to wait and see how they react before making any decisions, right? Besides, are vampires that have lived for hundreds of years really that powerful?"
Everyone agreed when they heard this, and many people were skeptical about the claim that this hundred-year-old vampire was as powerful as Voldemort. However, it would always be a good idea to have some contact with him.
Heyman suddenly interrupted, "There is also the issue of transportation. If we really mobilize so many people to go to Albania, transportation will be a very tricky problem..."
Then, the participants had a long discussion on the details of the trip to Albania. It was not until late at night that everyone slowly dispersed...
In the next few days, Yang Tian was really confused. He thought that after Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, the school would immediately announce a series of decisions to appease the students' impetuous hearts. However, it did not happen. The old headmaster still lived in seclusion and did his own thing; he even let the rumors in the school go unchecked. This was too inconsistent with Dumbledore's character in the original book, right? He didn't care about Hogwarts? What was the old headmaster up to?
But all this has nothing to do with Yang Tian. He still lives a fulfilling and busy study life according to his own plan...
On this day, Yang Tian was in the alchemy laboratory as usual, being tested and taught on alchemy knowledge by his teacher Nicolas Flamel.
It must be said that the knowledge involved in alchemy is too complicated, and Nicolas Flamel's collection of books seems endless. Since becoming his apprentice, the amount of books Yang Tian has borrowed from Nicolas Flamel has reached one-third of the Hogwarts library. But even so, the teacher can still take out new books, just ask you if it's annoying.
For Yang Tian, the benefit of reading so many alchemy books is that he is no longer a novice in alchemy! With the powerful function of the intelligent brain, he can now debate with his teacher!
However, compared with other subjects, alchemy is different after all, and Yang Tian finds this course the most difficult to learn!
Alchemy is a very mysterious and complex subject, and it is difficult to give it a real definition. This is not an exaggeration! Some people regard alchemy as an early form of chemical technology to explore the form of matter; some people think it is the cosmology of early human civilization; there are also ancient runes, ancient Greek philosophical thoughts, and so on.
It can be imagined that for such a complex subject, the various books are naturally varied, and the errors and omissions in them are too numerous to mention. Even Nicolas Flamel himself cannot be omniscient and omnipotent; in addition, Yang Tian has not completed the entry of all alchemy books; he himself is extremely lacking in alchemy-related experiments.
So even if the answer given by the intelligent computer was compared with the teacher's result, the winning rate could only reach 1:9; but this mere "1" had already driven Nicolas Flamel crazy! This 11-year-old child had just learned alchemy from him for a short time! Moreover, even if Yang Tian failed %, it would still bring him a lot of inspiration and correction.
Therefore, what Nicolas Flamel and his wife are most willing to do now is to discuss alchemy with Yang Tian. For example, now, the three of them are arguing over the improvement ideas of a magic source.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the laboratory. Several people who were discussing excitedly frowned, especially Nicolas Flamel, who was furious and looked very dissatisfied.
Who is this person? Is the huge sign at the door saying "Experiment in progress, do not disturb!" just for show?
Anyone who knew Nicolas Flamel knew that what he hated most was undoubtedly being interrupted when he was studying or discussing a problem.
Yang Tian was actually very depressed. The feeling of being suddenly interrupted was really annoying.
Perenal Flamel patted the two men's shoulders helplessly to comfort them, and then hurriedly opened the door...
