Dragon Wizard of the Heavens

"Guest, this is the notebook." An old notebook was handed over.

"This notebook is said to have a history of hundreds of years. Together with the garnet pendant, it is said that it is a relic of a noble family." The thrift shop owner who took out the handwriting said proudly.

"Aristocrats? Well, let's pretend they come from a certain nobleman, so how much are you going to sell them for now?" Allen flipped through his notebook a few times and said noncommittally.

"Um, £200." George glanced at Ai Lu and quoted a price.

Two hundred pounds in this period was not a small amount. Before the outbreak of World War I, the strongest currency in the world was the British pound, and the British pound at this time used gold coins. There were 7.32238 grams of gold in each pound coin. The British pound is 1.465 kilograms of gold.

Although such a little gold was not taken seriously by Alan, he didn't want to be blackmailed by others.

"20 pounds, if you accept it, then trade it, if you don't agree, then cancel it." Allen glanced at George, put the letter on the table, and took out twenty pounds. This price is equivalent to half a year's wages of a skilled worker.

Seeing the twenty golden pounds, George's eyes flickered: "Guest, this letter was handed down by a noble family, and it has a history of at least three hundred years or more. I think its value is not just twenty pounds. "

"Okay then, keep it for yourself." Allen reached out to put the pound away, then turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing that Allen was about to step out of the thrift store, George quickly said, "Guests, please wait a moment, £20 is £20."

 …

Allen left the thrift store with an old manuscript. If the boss disagreed, Allen would directly use spells to take the manuscript away.

This notebook is not something that belonged to the nobles as the thrift store owner said, but even if it was left by the nobles, it would not be so expensive. However, there is one thing the boss did not say wrong, and that is the history of this manuscript. Allen scanned it with a chip. This manuscript has a history of at least 500 years. down.

Latin is used in the manuscripts, and this language was rarely used during this period. Those who still use Latin now are usually in religions. Hundreds of years ago, Latin was the lingua franca of the whole of Europe.

As a language that appeared along with the ancient Roman Empire, Latin also declined with the demise of the Roman Empire.

The only language still in Latin is the Holy See.

Ai Lu just flipped through this notebook briefly, and to Allen's surprise, it actually recorded alchemy.

Different from the alchemy in the wizarding world, the alchemy in this world was originally to obtain gold. Simply put, it is to turn iron into silver and copper into gold, or to obtain a longer life through alchemy.

In legend alchemy is believed to have been created by Hermes Trismegistes, the name of a deity in Greek mythology who was the god of travellers, commerce, thieves and herdsmen as well as the gods Messenger, later this god merged with Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom, and was considered as the patron of magic. This handbook records alchemy.

He cast Allen's mansion technique casually, and a gorgeous mansion appeared in front of him. Allen stepped into the dimensional passage leading to the mansion, and then the passage closed and disappeared.

Allen lay down on a recliner, then took out the handbook and began to look through it. Most of the records on it were chemical reactions between metals, and many novel theories were mentioned, but their effects were limited. The only one that caught Allen's eyes It is a legendary thing - the Philosopher's Stone.

The Codex speaks of the highest achievement of alchemy, the Philosopher's Stone.

The sage's stone, as the name suggests, is a kind of stone that can only be produced during the time of the sage. After the climax, everything will become dull. This time is the most peaceful moment for the mind and body. Only at this time can the sage be produced. Stone..... well the above is all bullshit.

The Philosopher's Stone, is a mythical substance, long the holy grail of Western alchemists, believed to be able to transform ordinary base metals into precious metals (such as gold), or create elixirs of immortality. Therefore, its titles include "the philosopher's stone, the stone from the sky, the touchstone, the raw material of gold and silver, the red liquid, the fifth element" and so on.

Due to the relentless pursuit of this substance by alchemists, it has also been given titles such as great miracles and great creations. Sometimes, these titles are also used to refer to the makers of the Philosopher's Stones, in order to vividly show that they are at the apex of alchemy.

In various legends and myths, it often appears in different forms.

Its properties are actually a panacea that can cure any disease, make people immortal, and even turn base metals into gold.

It is generally recognized as a deep red color and may take the form of stone, powder, or liquid.

For thousands of years in the western world, countless alchemists have tried to refine this kind of stone. But only one man succeeded, and is recorded in history, Nicole Flamel.

The first time Allen heard the name was in the collection of the Viken family. Nicole Flamel also had a name called Nicolas Flamel. He was born in France in 1330 and died in 1427. But until now, there are still people who claim to have seen Nicole Flamel.

Nicole Flamel received a good education. He was proficient in Latin and Greek, and was good at writing. At that time, he relied on selling books and copying books for a living. Because he wrote beautiful characters and could also paint, he often had noble flowers. Qian asked him to copy some precious book manuscripts.

Ordinarily, this person should not have much money, but he built 14 hospitals and renovated churches in Paris, France. According to the prices at that time, the money spent on so many buildings was not a small amount.

After his death, his residence and donated tomb were full of strange symbols and incomprehensible reliefs. Countless alchemists tried to crack the secrets, but they found nothing.

People who wanted to get the secret of alchemy secretly dug up the coffin of the Nicholas couple, just like the plot in the legend, the coffin was empty and there was nothing.

Nicholas also left some manuscripts during his lifetime. At that time, these manuscripts were scattered to nowhere. This ancient manuscript in Allen's hand is one of them.

However, it only records that Nicholas successfully refined a Philosopher's Stone, but there is no record of how it was successfully refined. Allen wants to finally know that the pendant that Victor had at the beginning was probably made by Nicola. Refined Philosopher's Stone.
