Journey to the Wizarding World of Hogwarts

Chapter 111 Equivalent Exchange

Becoming an alchemist's student is not an easy thing.

Dika said that he would rush to the Kingdom of Corruption tomorrow, and it was best for the two of them to make an appointment to meet. He had to meet Robert, and then he would head to the Mediterranean.

Robert naturally set the meeting place in Hogsmeade Village. There is a special hotel in the village. Robert will not go to see Dika until he has booked a room.

Dika lived up to his title of plane traveler and sent Robert a letter the next night. Taking advantage of the darkness, Robert came to the place Dika rented.

It was not a hotel, but a wizard's home. Dika spent some money to rent this house.

"I thought about it. Since I am teaching you, it will definitely take a long time. This kind of small rented house where no one will disturb you may be more suitable for teaching." Dika said, rubbing his chin, "Well , do you know anything about alchemy?"

"Well, the common annotations are about the techniques of making gold, panacea and elixir of life." Robert thought for a while and said, "And most books on alchemy discuss these aspects."

Dika scratched his head, "Oh, actually the books in our world also say that, but obviously, this is a very one-sided introduction. Do you have any unique insights?"

Robert tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the cartoons he had seen in his previous life. Suddenly his mind became hot and he blurted out, "Understand the world, analyze the world, create the world?"

Dika choked on his saliva. He coughed violently, and it took him a while to recover. "Well, this is really a great ideal."

Afterwards, he asked some more questions, mainly about ancient magic texts and arithmetic divination. Robert, who had a certain foundation, answered them all.

"Okay, it seems that we still have some basics." Dika said, and then he dug in his pocket for a long time, and took out an alarm clock and a notebook.

"You now have half a year to read this notebook and ask questions. If you are sleepy, take a sip of this." Dika handed him a bottle of potion and said, "I have a lot of psychotropic potions. You don't have to worry about drinking me out. .Of course, what I want to introduce is this alarm clock.”

"When I open it, the time in the entire world will stop, and only the people in this room can move around. You must not break this thing. Although it can only be used once in each world, it is my treasure. "Dika stroked the alarm clock, as if recalling something, and sighed, "Okay, are you ready? Boy, let's start our happy learning journey!"

In the following time, Robert fell into endless learning.

Dika's studies are relatively complex. He calls himself a puppet master, but he started with alchemy. After wandering around in various worlds over the years, he has gained a lot of new knowledge and understanding, but much of it is incompatible with this world.

"Although alchemy is called alchemy, it is actually a discipline that can directly access the truth. I myself spy on the door of truth as a puppet master, but this is a tricky method." Dika thought about it. I thought and said, "According to what you said, alchemy involves understanding, analysis, and creation. After I used the knowledge of a puppet master to understand the truth, I found that my understanding was not comprehensive enough, which made me have to spend more time and energy. To parse the truth until I created the first living puppet."

As he spoke, he took out a puppet parrot and said, "This guy's lifespan was a bit short. He only lived for 60 years and then died. I can only carry it with me as a souvenir."

The corner of Robert's eye twitched, 60 years is actually not a short time.

"The road was smooth after that. I created more puppets until I discovered that I could leave the world I was in and travel to other worlds..." Dika scratched his head, "To be honest, it wasn't anything at first. It was a wonderful experience, but over the years I’ve grown accustomed to exploring the worlds, looking for new ways to improve my craft of creating puppets.”

He raised his chin, "At least, if I return to my original world now, I will definitely be the most powerful puppet master."

"What is the truth?" Robert asked curiously.

"Truth, rules, world, universe, God, whatever you want to call it, it is unique, objective, absolute, and a collection and sublimation of laws." Dika smacked his lips, "In short, that is what we have always said The goal you pursue, well, to put it simply, you can think of it as a lever, so that you can use very little magic power to accomplish something that seems very difficult."

After saying that, he glanced at the alarm clock and shrugged, "Well, this guy seems to be on time."

Only three "ding ding ding" sounds were heard, and the alarm clock vibrated. Dika slapped the alarm off and said to Robert, "Anyway, what I can teach you is that the part about alchemy is over. The next step is to burn the magic pattern. ”

Robert was a little confused, "Burning? That thing can't be painted on the body, right? Although I have read in your notes that you mentioned the so-called spiritual opening ceremony,"

"Well... I've been to a world where magic patterns exist in everyone's body. As long as they cooperate with the method and open it normally, you know." Dika shrugged, "Human beings are talented in this area. It's not that outstanding. I personally recommend that you use magic patterns in conjunction with it to familiarize yourself with the method of using the magic power in your body to drive the magic of nature as soon as possible. Moreover, magic patterns can also help increase your upper limit of magic power. I remember you are not yet an adult, so this There will be an explosive period of magic growth for a while, and you need to take advantage of it."

"Okay, shall we start now?" Robert looked at the surrounding environment and felt a little strange.

"Well..." Dika glanced at his pocket watch, "The best time is from 12 to 1 midnight. It's actually not too late now."

Robert blinked, "By the way, what's the best magic pattern you can carve?"

"Huh?" Dika looked at Robert, with some surprise in his voice, "Hey, are you... Well, actually, maybe that one is suitable for you, but I have to pay."

Robert rolled his eyes and was speechless, "Are all puppet masters obsessed with money?"

"Ha, you are wrong. I am still very rich, but you know the cost of raw materials." Dika rubbed his thumbs, "I can't afford it. Besides, I follow the alchemy rules. The principle of a magician!"

Robert said feebly, "Ah, do you want to talk about equivalent exchange or something? Doesn't it mean that our world doesn't have such strict principles?"

"Well... it's better to establish principles from the beginning, Robert." Dika raised his eyebrows, "This is the advice of someone who has experienced it."

Scratching his head, Robert felt that what he said made sense, so he spread his hands and agreed readily, "So, what treasure do you like in me?"

Dika chuckled twice, like a wretched uncle, which made Robert look down upon him for a while.

"It's your magic book." Dika said with a smile, "I will burn the magic pattern for you. When you can use the power of alchemy skillfully, it should be able to be opened. In exchange, you have to let I borrowed it for an hour, and I had a feeling that something I'd always wanted to know was in there."
