Chapter 190: The Book of Abraham

At the end of September, the rainy season continues, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the night is getting longer and longer.

In this kind of weather, Albert likes to stay by the warm and bright fireplace, sipping a hot drink while reading his favorite books.

Albert is undoubtedly lucky, and Gryffindor's lounge happens to satisfy him.

At this moment, Albert is sitting in a soft armchair, flipping through the book Smith lent him, the title of which is "The Book of Abraham the Jew."

This book is very famous, and it is said that Nico Lemay has refined the legendary Philosopher's Stone step by step according to the instructions of this book.

When Professor Smith lent this book to himself, Albert was really surprised. He had never thought that such a book would be widely circulated, which is really hard to imagine.

However, what surprised Albert was still to come. He actually found the refining method of the Philosopher's Stone from the "Book of Abraham the Jew", but apart from Nico Lemay, no one succeeded in refining the Philosopher's Stone.

Yes!

If you can really refine the Philosopher's Stone, how could it spread out?

Alchemy secrets are usually secrets that are not passed on.

People no longer believe in the so-called secret recipe of the Philosopher’s Stone in The Book of Abraham.

Smith recommending Albert's book is actually like joining the Quidditch team, just like Charlie recommending him to read "Quidditch Origins", which probably means the same thing.

Although there may not be any gains, but it is actually good to pass the time, and you can also learn about alchemy by the way.

The original "Book of Abraham, the Jew" is only 21 pages, with various images on it, which may be capital letters, gold coins, Jews, princes, priests, astrologers, philosophers, or some strange drawings that make people confused. However, this book is more than that. There are related translations and annotations on it, but it still requires specialized alchemy terms to understand.

For example, this page Albert is looking at now:

With the diligence of a philosopher, devote all your attention to the sun, moon, and Mercury...There is a kind of sulfur soul in the metal, called "hot sulfur light".

If you don't know that in alchemy, the sun refers to gold, the moon refers to silver, and Mercury refers to mercury, I am afraid it is difficult to understand what this sentence means.

There is also a description of alchemy, "...Sulfur has a magical power. It can dye the wet and cold moon into the pure gold of the sun, but this process requires a spiritual medium..."

Albert closed the book gently, put it on his knees, and did not read it again.

In fact, he had read it several times, and used his own knowledge and understanding to simply translate the refining method of the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

Unfortunately, no skills or tasks related to the Philosopher's Stone never appeared on the panel.

As expected, he also had a hint of hope. He wanted to see if he could pick up a treasure for himself through the panel. However, he was obviously wishful thinking.

"Are you planning to use this thing to fool others?" Lee Jordan shook the parchment between his fingers. He still remembered that Albert had translated this old book in the library a few days ago, which was said to be the alchemy secret for refining the Philosopher’s Stone.

Then, they believed, especially after learning what the Philosopher's Stone was, everyone was happy for a while.

No way, Albert took a very old book and focused on studying there for a long time. He also told them about the "Book of Abraham the Jew" and Nico Lemay, which really fudged them temporarily Up.

Only after they calmed down did they realize that they had been fooled by Albert again.

Although Albert stated innocently that "The Book of Abraham the Jews" is true, and the formula of the Philosopher's Stone is indeed translated from the book, but...is the alchemy secret of the Philosopher's Stone in the book also true?

Obviously not.

Although Albert's book is very old, it is printed in any way. Someone printed it. Will the magic stone alchemy recipe in "The Book of Abraham the Jew" be true?

If it is true, how can there be only one Nicol Lemay in centuries?

"That is indeed the magical stone alchemy secret in the "Book of Abraham, the Jew"." Albert said that I didn't lie.

"Yes, yeah, we know this is the precious magical stone alchemy recipe." Lee Jordan said impatiently.

"Or, how about we treat him as a treasure?" There was a cheerful smile on George's face.

Since the last secret treasure, several people have been committed to leaving behind various secret treasures at Hogwarts.

"That's a good idea." Fred opened the curtain next to him and looked up at the rain curtain outside. "You write another copy in French and attach an English translation."

"When will it start?" Lee Jordan asked, "Now?"

"Another day." George walked over, looked at the rain screen outside the window, and muttered, "Why doesn't the rain stop."

"How can it be that fast." Albert said to Lee Jordan after drinking the milk tea, "I'll have something to do later."

"I hate rainy days."

They will go to training later, training in the cold wind and heavy rain, this is sparse and normal for Quidditch players, but no one likes to train in this kind of wind and rain. They will get wet, get cold easily, and get muddy on the way to the Quidditch stadium.

"Aren't you going together?" George turned his head and asked.

"Unfortunately, I will have an appointment with Mr. Smith later." Albert tactfully refused. He didn't like going out to train in such bad weather.

"Let's go!"

The two brothers sighed and walked towards the exit of the common room together.

"Train well, we will cheer for you next time," Albert said to the two with a smile.

In fact, he also knows that there are more new players added this year, and Charlie's training is very strict, which puts a lot of pressure on Fred and George.

Quidditch players' training is really hard!

A few minutes later, Albert knocked on the door of the Defense Against the Dark Arts office, and there was already a guest inside, a young Smith.

After seeing Albert, the other party frowned slightly, apparently not thinking that there would be a guest, so he got up and left.

"My nephew, who is still talented, is just a little arrogant." Professor Smith who prepared milk tea for Albert suddenly said after the kid left.

Unlike Dumbledore, Rowena Smith likes to make her own milk tea.

Albert doesn't know what to say about other people's homes. The best option is to remain silent.

"Thank you, I have finished reading this book, it's an amazing book."

After a moment of silence, Albert returned the "Book of Abraham the Jew" to Smith.

"It's really amazing." Professor Smith took the book, put it on the table casually, and then handed the soaked milk tea to Albert.

"Thank you."

The two chatted for a few words, and Smith picked up another book and began to explain the basics of alchemy to Albert.

Well, yes, basics.

However, Albert does not lack the foundation. What he lacks is actually the alchemy secret recipe. However, these things are usually unspoken secrets.

Smith soon discovered the problem. Albert already had his own understanding of alchemy, but his problem now was that he didn't know how to use it.

Just like a glass of water, just a glass of water in there. You need to pour tea or cocoa powder into the water to turn the water into a cup of tea, or hot cocoa, or even other beverages.

This is a bit embarrassing.

Professor Smith has also studied alchemy, but he himself is not a master in this field.

Although he can teach Albert some things he knows, but... the relationship between the two is actually not as good as that.

"Your situation, I probably know it." Professor Smith ended the professor directly, looked at Albert again and said, "You are limited by yourself."

"Limited by myself?" Albert was a little confused, and didn't understand what this sentence meant for a while.

"It should be said that the amount of knowledge." Professor Smith sipped a sip of milk tea and explained, "Alchemy covers a wide range, but the knowledge you have learned is not enough, which directly leads to the limitation of your thinking. I feel a little confused, unable to refine anything."

"Can't you teach me?" Albert asked.

"It's meaningless to learn the basics." Professor Smith shook his head. "I remember you knew Mr. Broad, right!"

"Oh, you said Professor Browd, we know each other, and we have contacted by letter recently." Albert headed.

"Alchemy includes many things." Professor Smith said: "I think what you lack the most is knowledge. This is the biggest problem at the moment. I don't think there will be such a problem in two or three years."

"Wait another two or three years?" Albert was a little dazed. After waiting two or three years, the day lily was cold.

"I can write to Mr. Broad and see if I can recommend you to one of my elders." Professor Smith said.

"Elder?" Albert suddenly thought of someone.

Gerber Smith?

The old man I met in the hut in the lake last time.

"By the way, and Mr. Sierra Harris." Professor Smith patted his hands and continued, "He is also very good at alchemy."

"This..." Albert looked confused.

"I'll write a letter of introduction for you," Professor Smith said with a smile. "You have to prepare a letter and write about your problems in alchemy."

Albert nodded, he knew what Professor Smith meant.

"I think there will be news soon~www.NovelMTL.com~Smith said.

"Thank you, Professor Smith." Albert said gratefully.

"You're welcome," Smith said. He looked at Albert's leaving back, the smile on his face disappeared, and he was confused and puzzled.

The introduction of Albert to Sierra Harris and Gerber Smith was not meant by Professor Rowena Smith, but an invitation from Gerber Smith to invite the young wizard to join them.

Genius, and very talented in alchemy.

These two points are actually enough.

Although Rowena Smith has some doubts, he has actually had similar experiences before.

However, he always felt a little strange, "Is it really valued only because of talent? Could it be... the same as McDoug? But, as far as he knows, Albert is a Muggle wizard."
