From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts

Walking into this old wooden door, a medieval-style living room with a strong and strange atmosphere comes into view. Inside, there is a constantly moving tapestry with moving magical images and strange runes printed on it.

text symbols.

In the corner of the living room, there is a workbench with messy alchemy equipment, and a shining crystal ball is placed on the workbench.

In the center of the room, there was a wooden spiral staircase leading to the second floor. At this time, a thin old man was slowly moving down one step at a time.

"Good morning, you two!" Although the old man was faltering, he was in good spirits and greeted Sivan and Newt enthusiastically.

Newt quickly ran up the stairs and carefully supported the frail old man.

"Long time no see, Flamel." Newt said with a smile after helping him.

"It seems like it's been a while." Flamel smiled wistfully, then looked at Newt and said, "But you know, it's not too long for me."

"Yes, ten years is not a long time for you." Newt smiled knowingly.

Xiwen stood upright downstairs, showed a reserved smile, and said politely: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Flamel."

"Ah, you must be Mr. Rozier!" Flamel said with a kind smile. "Albus told me about your talent for ancient runes and alchemy."

As he spoke, he moved towards a wooden door next to the living room with small steps.

"Don't be so restrained, Mr. Rozier." Flamel pushed open the door, turned to look at Sivan and Newt and said, "Come in! If Newt wants to learn alchemy, you can come with us."

"Well, actually I still have to take care of my animals." Newt smiled sheepishly at Flamel, then patted Sivan on the shoulder and got into his box.

Flamel smiled as he watched Newt get into his suitcase, and then waved to Sivan.

"Newt is a very good young man." When Sivan walked into the room, Flamel said to him with emotion. "Even though I have lived for so long, I have rarely seen such a kind person like him.

"

Xiwen nodded in agreement.

Newt seemed to take care of all the magical animals as his own children, and the look he looked at the little animals with was so doting that it could make people melt!

Because of this, Sivan felt particularly relieved about leaving the kitten in Newt's box.

Walking into the wooden door, the room inside is a studio. There is a table filled with alchemy equipment and a wooden cabinet. Next to the table is a spacious window, and the bright light from outside can illuminate the entire studio.

Bright.

"Sit down, just be casual." Flamel pointed to the wooden chair next to the table and said to Xiwen.

Xiwen took advantage of the situation and sat down on the chair, but found that Flamel seemed to have no intention of sitting down.

"Aren't you going to sit down?" Xiwen quickly stood up and asked.

"I am getting older, my body is a little stiff, and my joints are not very easy to bend. So I usually don't sit down." Flamel shook his head and said, "Just sit down and don't worry about me."

Only then did Xiwen understand why Flamel kept walking with tiny steps and his body seemed a little stiff.

"It's okay, I'll just stand." Xiwen insisted not to sit down and stood next to Flamel.

"Okay, okay. You kid is just too reserved." Flamel smiled and went straight to the topic without any further persuasion. "I heard that you have a good command of ancient runes, right?

"

"Yes." Xiwen nodded and replied. "In addition, I can actually know Sanskrit and seal script."

Flamel's eyes finally became a little surprised, and he sighed: "At such a young age, I learned a language that others would find difficult to master in a lifetime, and I still have three languages. It's really amazing!"

'After all, I spent twenty years studying these languages ​​in Kama Taj...' Xiwen smiled awkwardly and thought to himself.

After Flamel admired him, he looked at Xiwen and asked, "I want to know to what extent your understanding of alchemy has reached now?"

Xiwen thought for a while and replied: "I have read a lot of books about alchemy, and most of them describe the concept like this: that is, alchemy is a branch of magic and an ancient science that involves

Study the composition, structure and magical properties of the four basic elements, as well as the transmutation of matter."

Flamel shook his head slightly and said: "I don't want you to recite the definitions in the book, but I want you to talk about your own understanding of alchemy!"

"Um, is that so..." Xiwen was stunned for a moment and said with an unnatural expression. "Actually, I always thought that alchemy was just a chemical philosophy in the Middle Ages and the prototype of chemistry."

"Do you still know anything about Muggles?" Flamel looked at Sivan with surprised eyes and said in amazement. "I have to say that Muggles also have a lot of great knowledge, many of which may exceed wizards."

"Have you also studied Muggle knowledge?" Sivan was even more surprised than Flamel.

After all, who would have thought that the most famous alchemist master in the magic world would actually study Muggle knowledge? I don’t know what those extreme pure-bloodists would think if they heard this...

"No matter which group has its own unique wisdom." Flamel nodded with a smile and said to Sivan. "Go on, do you have any other understanding besides Muggle alchemy?"

"I think alchemy in the meaning of magic is a different kind of magic, just like potions." Sivan nodded and continued. "It is often said in books that the study of alchemy symbolizes a spiritual journey. It is not so big and

It’s a broad concept, rather it’s more like a kind of enchantment on matter.”

"By inscribing magic patterns that condense magic power, such as ancient runes, Sanskrit or seal script, the material can store and release magic power. Then through specific circuits, it has some magical functions, thus producing alchemical products..."

Flamel listened to Xiwen's words and nodded from time to time to express his approval.

"This is pretty much what I understand about alchemy. I don't know if it's right or not." Xiwen smiled modestly and ended his speech.

"Very good understanding, Mr. Rozier." Flamel laughed and gave Xiwen an approving look. "There is no need to belittle yourself. Your understanding of alchemy has probably surpassed many so-called alchemists."

"Alchemy was originally intended only to transform ordinary metals into gold or silver; or to create a "magic elixir" that could cure all diseases and extend life indefinitely; and to discover a universal universal solvent." Flamel explained. "

But as time progresses, the definition and goals of alchemy continue to change and develop."

"What we call alchemy now is essentially giving life to matter!"
