Chapter 1640 (1/2)

This handwritten book is more like a diary, containing a lot of miscellaneous things and jumping narration.

In the seven pages of the first part, it records LeMay's self-report that he bought an alchemy book called ”the book of Jewish Abraham” from a black robed and masked Arab merchant for two jingarons.

Then he began to study the knowledge recorded in the book, because on the night when he bought the book, he had a dream in which an angel with snow-white wings handed him a whole hard large salted fish.

When he woke up, he thought it was a revelation. Maybe the salted fish symbolized the power of God?

So he was very interested in the new books and kept on studying exotic wonders. Three years later, the second part of Hermione's strange book, LeMay said at the beginning that he had found the real alchemy.

Hermione understood that the pages of the book of hieroglyphs in her hand might have been cut from some notebooks and then bound together. During this period, some unimportant or too important parts were not here.

But it was enough for her to figure out her homework, and now the professor asked herself who LeMay was, and I could be proud to tell him the right answer.

She continued to read, and the book read:

”I always follow the instructions of the book word by word. Today, I finally arrived at the last step, deduced the Redstone according to the same amount of mercury... And then really transformed mercury into gold, which is better than ordinary gold, softer and more plastic.”

Hermione's mouth widened. Did the so-called real alchemy turn stone into gold?

She speeds up the speed of turning over books. The thick bark rubs in her palm, but basically only one experimental idea can be seen, such as converting mercury into other things, such as copper from mercury, or silver from mercury.

For example, LeMay believes that alchemy follows some principle of equivalent exchange. As for the proportion of the price, it may be determined by God.

”You can't use the same weight of mercury to convert equal weight of gold, and the conversion of brass or silver, more than the consumption of the same mercury into gold.”

”The conversion is irreversible, and the gold transformed can no longer be converted back to mercury with red stone.”

”Red stone will produce loss in the process of conversion, but the degree of each loss is different and there is no rule.”

It was basically a summative account, until Hermione opened the book to the last part of the seventh part.

The last seven pages are a bit crazy, recording LeMay's attempts to make life out of red stone.

At first, he wanted to turn mercury into a living rabbit, but he created a monster, which is called ”the howling monster placenta in the nightmare”.

Then he planned to make plants, thinking that plants might be simpler than animals, but what he got was ”unspeakable terror tentacles.”.

But at the end of these strange records, he obviously succeeded in another experiment. He saw that black ink left a clear mark on the bark:

”... Using red stone can transform magic into life and prepare ageless potion... Yes, I finally reached the realm of God as a mortal... But what is behind this gate? What's beyond our world... ”

Turn back, but this is the blank bark on the last page. There is no answer to this question.

Hermione let out a sigh that didn't conform to her age. She closed the big book on her knee slowly. She felt a little heavy for no reason. She fell on the corner of the sofa like a kitten and felt empty.
