Chapter 190： The Book of Abraham (1/2)

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.
