Harry Potter and the Old Ones

Chapter 256: "Door"

Until Dumbledore and Nick Lemay went upstairs and called Tiera to dinner, Tiera rummaged through every book in Nick Lemay's library—

With the exception of a handful of books on magic, alchemy, and the curse of black magic, the remaining hundreds of books are all sorts of novels, comics, and picture books—

There are novels of all ages and styles. The earliest can be traced back to the 13th and 14th centuries. The handwritten version of "The Divine Comedy" will definitely not be less than half a million pounds if it is put up for auction.

The most recent is a Japanese "Doraemon" published in October 1993. Nick Lemay's collection of "Doraemon" independent comics began with the first independent comics released in 1971. , until the latest release, the full set of Doraemon comics were neatly stacked on the second bookshelf as soon as you entered the door——

Such a whole set of comics Tierra believes that if he can keep it until the year before he crosses over, as long as he finds the right buyer, the value will be no less than the few Bibles he sold before.

In addition, there are several best-selling novels by Stephen King, such as "Carrie the Witch", "The Night's Watch", "The Last Days", "The Omen", "The Tower of Bones"... Of course, there are also the most famous ones. The Shining, The Shawshank Redemption, and Pet Cemetery.

Still the first edition.

Tiera remembered that Nick Lemay wouldn't be able to last long after he broke the elixir, right...

The crooked thoughts could not help sprouting from Tiera's heart.

On the second floor of the library are some records and...

and some romance novels.

Tierra:  …

He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Obviously, the old and brittle Nick Lemay and his wife have relied on these novels, comics and records to get through the long years.

This seems reasonable.

For the six hundred and sixty-nine-year-old, osteoporotic Nick Lemay and his equally six-hundred-year-old, osteoporotic lady, any other form of entertainment would be accompanied by great pain.

In addition, Nick Lemay has reached the pinnacle in the field of alchemy, and has begun to be bored enough to develop a lime-flavored elixir—

Staying at home, reading, reading newspapers and listening to records seems to be one of the few acceptable forms of entertainment for them.

But the key question is-

What about his alchemy notes or journals?

Tiera went through every novel, every manga, checking for interlayers, spells or special inks for writing, but—

No.

Tiera even tapped lightly on every floor, on every shelf, looking for any hidden compartments, but—

still none.

He never found what Tiera cared about most.

After rummaging through the entire library, the only note Tiera found was an excerpt from Mrs. Nick Lemay's romance novel.

Tiera saw the photo of Nick Lemay and his wife on the desk——

A group photo of two mummified people standing under a tree. This group photo seems to have been taken at the place where the camera technology was invented. The two people in the group photo are a little nervous and excited at the same time, and the photo is blurry, as if stamped on. Like a mist.

Tiera also found the correspondence between him and his wife in the drawer——

His wife, Ms. Wu, is three years younger than Nick Lemay. This year coincides with Ms. Wu's 666th birthday. Since they had shared nearly 600 birthdays before, this year's birthday, Ms. Wu decided to Back to my mother's house-

Yes, the wife of Nick Lemay, Ms. Wu, whose English name is Pereneel, her real name is Wu Peirong, is a Chinese——

It's not at all obvious from their pictures.

Ms. Wu would go back to her parents' home for a few years almost every few decades, just in time for her 666th birthday this year. Sixty-six is ​​an unlucky number in the West, but it is the opposite in the East. All Ms. Wu Simply go back to your hometown to celebrate your 666th birthday, gather a few old sisters to play mahjong together, or tease a few hundred-year-old juniors.

Ms. Wu's passing away is somewhat regrettable to Tiera——

Because Tiera found several Chinese recipes at the bottom of the drawer.

It seems that Ms. Wu is also a person with interest in life, which makes Tiera feel good about this Ms. Wu, who has never met before——

If this Ms. Wu hadn't left, Tiera might have a chance to taste the long-lost authentic Chinese food.

Especially when Tiera knew that he could only drink diluted elixir to fill himself up in Nick Lemay, his good looks for this lady Wu became even stronger.

Tiera stayed here in Nick Lemay until the end of July. Although it was **** for Tiera in terms of diet, but from the perspective of acquiring knowledge, this month or more was simply heaven—

Nick Lemay spent a few days explaining some basic principles of magic and alchemy to Tiera, namely—

The power of magic is the power of dimensions.

Yes, Nick Lemay's understanding of the principles of magic is exactly the same as the explanation of magic in the "The Necronomicon" chapter on the principles of black magic -

That is, the wizard is composed of three dimensions: material, spiritual and spiritual. These three dimensions are also the so-called "lower realms" in alchemy, and the purpose of alchemy is to use complex calculations and a large number of rituals, magic, physical and chemical means. Perfectly integrate the three dimensions and find the "origin" where the three-dimensional coordinates meet, that is, the Philosopher's Stone, or the Sage's Stone.

The Sage's Stone is the origin of the three-dimensional and the starting point of the fourth dimension——

It is the intersection of matter, spirituality, spirit and divinity, a bridge connecting the lower world and the upper world, or it can be called—

"Door"

The "door" in the ceremony of becoming a god.

Using the sage's stone to turn stone into gold, and using the sage's stone to refine the elixir of life, are just a brief glimpse through the keyhole of the "door" and the power of the divine dimension.

Taking the material, spiritual and spiritual dimensions of the god-becoming person as the "cornerstone", stepping on the "stairway" of the embodiment of the law, using the "key" composed of countless dangerous rituals, to open the "door" of the divinity of the sage's stone~ lightnovelpub.net~ Enter the dimension of divinity, enter the upper realm, or the other side——

Then through the bond anchored in this world, from the divine dimension, that is, the upper world, back to the lower world, thus completely occupying the four dimensions of material, spirituality, spirit and divinity, becoming an immortal four-dimensional creature——

This is the ceremony of becoming a god. The "cornerstone" must be a three-dimensional one that can be completely mastered and controlled by oneself, the "door" must be the stone of the sage, and the other "keys" and "stairs" can be freely chosen.

That's why Tiera dared to steal the Philosopher's Stone even at the risk of being discovered by Dumbledore, even at the risk of being expelled, before entering the first year—

He's not just for elixir and turning stone into gold—

The Sorcerer's Stone is an indispensable "door" in the ceremony of becoming a god.

At that time, Tiera had basically finished reading Merlin's notes in the library, and had a general idea of ​​the ritual of becoming a god. Although he had not yet decided to perform the ritual, since a living Philosopher's Stone would Putting it in front of him, he has no reason to let it go.

As long as he can get the Philosopher's Stone, even if he gets fired, it's worth it!
