Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Lu Ke smiled: "I must admit that my abilities are also very limited."

Johanna's training continued until dinner time. By the time she sat at the Slytherin table, Johanna's eyes were dull and she didn't know how to see with her eyes at all.

Lu Ke was helpless and could only put a piece of Johanna's favorite roasted pig's trotters in front of her. As for whether Johanna could pick it up from the plate, it was not Lu Ke's concern.

The next day, Johanna never mentioned the need to strengthen training again, which made the female prefect a little disappointed.

On Monday morning, Lu Ke arrived at the alchemy laboratory very early.

After waiting here for a long time, Nico Flamel finally arrived.

"You're here so early that you already have the answer?"

Nico Flamel smiled as he opened a bottle of wine: "It comes from Provence. It's an ordinary farmhouse wine, but I can't stop drinking it."

Lu Ke nodded and took out the oil painting: "It's the little man in the bottle, right?"

Nico Flamel burst out laughing: "You actually guessed it!"

Lu Ke sighed: "This shouldn't be difficult, right?"

Nico Flamel nodded: "But you have never learned alchemy. By the way, put that painting away. This is my gift to you. Raphael is an annoying guy, but the painting is good." They’re all quite pretty.”

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment. He felt that he should know which Raphael this Raphael was.

"Didn't he only paint images of Madonnas?"

Nico Flamel tilted his head and smiled next to Lu Ke: "Look, this is why I said he can't do it."

Then he put down his glass of wine.

"So the first question of this lesson, what is our purpose?"

Lu Ke was silent.

The purpose of the current experiment is to enable the experimental subject: Lu Ke to cast magic spells. The key is to provide Lu Ke with part of the brain functions of another experimental subject: Johanna.

Professors McGonagall and Professor Flitwick are responsible for studying magic, while the team of Nico Flamel and Lu Ke are responsible for alchemy.

But that was certainly not what Nico Flamel was asking.

"Create a wizard's brain the same way you create a man in a bottle?"

Nico Flamel nodded.

Lu Ke was horrified: "Refined from the human body?"

Nico Flamel nodded again: "It's not that dangerous."

As he spoke, he waved his wand, and then the scroll on the wall of the laboratory opened, and several paintings unfolded from it.

"Alchemy is the transformation and creation of substances in ways beyond common sense. Alchemy for beginners pursues the pursuit of refining gold, while true masters pursue refining the magic stone, which is immortality. At this point, in fact, it is very close to the little man in the bottle. ”

"But a small step is a chasm. No alchemist has ever taken this step, and I have never thought about it. So what we make is not a little man in a bottle, but a small replica."

Lu Ke could only listen honestly. He had almost no understanding of alchemy.

"As for the refining of the human body, the current consensus in alchemy is that the gap between inorganic matter and organic matter is the realm of God, so organic matter must be refined into organic matter."

Nico Flamel said, pointing to the pictures on the wall.

These are three oil paintings with rough workmanship and no sense of beauty at all, but the contents in the paintings are unpredictable.

The first painting is a huge glass bottle with liquid divided into two layers. There is a stone at the bottom, as if it is growing, and a smaller stone appears on the stone.

The second painting was very complicated, at least Lu Ke couldn't understand it at all. In short, after countless complicated processes, the face on the stone changed from facing left to facing right.

The third painting is simple. The red and blue pieces form a perfect circle when they are different.

"Most of the time, this will seem very... unsightly, but an alchemist should always try unfamiliar territory."

Nico Flamel began to explain these three paintings to Lu Ke.

"Regarding organic alchemy, a common method now is to cultivate the body with liquid. There was once a wizard who sealed the wound with a magic potion he prepared, and the chopped off arm grew out. This is considered to be the beginning of organic alchemy. , but some wizards believe that this is the victory of potions. The first picture symbolizes this process. The stone is lead, and the lower layer of the liquid divided into upper and lower layers is mercury. As the two elements of alchemy, here. They symbolize organic matter and liquid, and the proliferation of lead represents the proliferation of organic matter."

Nico Flamel said a series of professional terms that Lu Ke could hardly understand at all. Apart from discovering that the alchemist's way of recording information was very artistic, Lu Ke knew nothing about it.

Fortunately, Nico Flamel gave him the result directly: "So what we have to do now is to copy a body part you mentioned. As long as it is copied from another wizard, it does not violate the basic principles of alchemy. ”

Lu Ke sighed: "I don't understand."

Nico Flamel smiled: "Yes, you don't understand, but what does it matter? Many alchemists can understand my alchemical equations, but in the end I can only find Albus to make dragons together." For research on the use of blood, you already have the most important thing, and it doesn’t matter if you have the others.”

As he spoke, Nico Flamel poured himself another glass of wine.

"Our plan is very dangerous because there is only one chance and it's hard to tell whether adding such an alchemical product to your brain will make your head explode."

Lu Ke sighed helplessly: "Isn't it the same with the magic spell? The brain is the softest part of a person. There's nothing we can do about it."

Nico Flamel patted Lu Ke on the shoulder: "You are a real wizard."

…

Coming out of the alchemy classroom, Lu Ke had another oil painting on his body, but this oil painting was no longer a puzzle, but an alchemical equation.

What Lu Ke has to do is to complete an alchemy experiment according to the description of the equation.

Although I don't know why he did this, considering that Lu Ke is now an alchemy apprentice, it is not surprising.

During lunch, Lu Ke put the painting on the table again.

"What's this?"

From Johanna's point of view, this is a much more pleasing painting than the previous painting, at least the people on it are starting to move like a normal painting.

"An alchemical equation."

Lu Ke took a hard bite of the pig's trotters. This was a new attempt by the house elves. The pig's trotters were steamed and then roasted. The outside of the pig's skin was crispy and crunchy, while the inside was soft and fragrant.

"Alchemists love riddles."

Johanna glanced at Lu Ke sympathetically.

Lu Ke nodded helplessly: "But I almost know something."
