Chapter 716 Alchemy Contest Final

"The so-called alchemy is a long and great science. As early as thousands of years ago, it was created by our wise ancestors, and it flourished more than once together with ancient magic in ancient times. Now this discipline Although it has been gradually forgotten by many people, I still want to tell everyone here - its charm will definitely shine again in the near future!"

"In fact, we know that even though many friends don't know much about alchemy nowadays, there is one person who must be well known to everyone. That's right, he is the last person in history to refine the Philosopher's Stone and use it to enjoy Nicole Flamel, a great alchemist who lived for more than six hundred years!"

On the east side of the wide arena, Mr. Hohenheim, who was sitting in the middle of the judges' seat, was standing there at the moment, making an opening speech for entering the final stage with great momentum.

For him, a researcher who has spent half his life as an alchemist, alchemy has become everything in his life. And Nicole Flamel, as a matter of course, became his academic idol since he was a child.

Therefore, for both alchemy and Nicole Flamel, he has always been generous in his praise.

"...And just today, the 12 contestants who have worked hard in this arena and stood out with their excellent alchemy skills, the first championship of this international alchemy competition is already coming to you Waving!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Hohenheim swung his right arm forward violently, and the voice amplified by the sound expansion spell was full of excitement.

"Next, it's time to announce today's topic!" He said loudly, "Twelve contestants, remember what I mentioned just now? Mr. Nicole Flamel has produced what can be called a master of alchemy." The peak Philosopher's Stone! Yes, everyone must be familiar with the Philosopher's Stone, right?"

At this moment, both the players on the field and the guests in the audience were stunned for the first time—what do you mean? Could it be that the subject of the final stage is the Philosopher's Stone?

Even if it was a joke, I believe no one would say such a thing. The difficulty of making the Philosopher's Stone is naturally unimaginably high, and this reason can be understood even by some viewers who have no idea what alchemy is.

Fortunately, Hohenheim didn't pause for too long, he quickly continued talking.

"Today's topic is a research topic that has a lot to do with the refining of the Sorcerer's Stone. The twelve contestants present all have exquisite alchemy skills. I think this topic will let everyone show their skills. Then next- —”

At this time, Hohenheim finally shouted excitedly:

"Twelve contestants are invited to show us the activation of material elements!"

In alchemical theory, matter is composed of various elements. And those elements can be divided into four categories according to their nature and state, namely "air", "water", "earth" and "fire".

It is said that the Sorcerer's Stone is a kind of wonderful substance that is refined and synthesized by an alchemist, and has four characteristics at the same time. Although it is generally called "stone" by people, the specific state can be ever-changing.

In order to refine the Sorcerer's Stone, the special refining step of "activating a single element" was mentioned in ancient books. Even on the emerald slab named "Jade Record" unearthed in a certain pyramid chamber in Egypt, there are even a few words about the pinnacle of alchemy and the conception of life.

Therefore, this topic has always been an important research direction in the alchemy academic circle. Although the Sorcerer's Stone couldn't make it, the academic research on the activation of elements has made some progress.

Right now, Maca is sitting in his seat. He looked at Hohenheim's happy expression, but he still couldn't calm down in his heart.

This topic was decided by the jury with reference to his suggestion for the final declaration of the estate of Nicole Flamel. But now, obviously the players have already started to prepare, but he can't pay attention to the game in front of him.

"...Is it because of the mysterious disappearance of Ensi Taon?" While he was paying attention to a series of situations in the arena, he was still distracted thinking about the reason why he couldn't calm down, "Or because of that bald man?" That weird prediction in memory?"

Today's final question should have been of great interest to him, because he has always been curious about how the ancient summoning magic gave life to deformed matter. The activation of this alchemy should give him a lot of inspiration.

However, he is completely uninterested in this final stage now.

Regarding Enns, personnel inside and outside the school had already arranged for a search, and even the Ministry of Magic had sent a letter to inform him. And as one of the person in charge of the competition, at least in the final stage, he couldn't leave, and it was impossible for him to help find someone for the time being.

Shaking his head slightly, Maca put aside the hesitation in his heart, and focused his attention on the players on the field as much as possible.

So far, none of the twelve contestants who have entered the finals has exceeded his expectations. There are three from the African delegation, three from the Mesopotamian joint delegation, and the remaining six were selected from the delegations of several countries with relatively outstanding alchemy history such as Egypt and Greece.

In fact, the original and Indian magic circles should have had the possibility to make it to the finals. Just because of the bald old man, the Indian delegation completely lost the right to compete before they arrived, and no one could comment on what a pity they were.

It was the only loose alchemist who passed all the way to the final stage, which obviously surprised many people.

"Mr. McLean, isn't that the contestant you mentioned on day one?"

Beside Maca, the Minister of Magic Scrimgeour, who also came to watch the final, also spotted the handsome wizard in a Muggle tuxedo, "Mr. .”

Scrimgeour has basically never praised others much in his life. He used to be like this when he was the head of the Auror office. Now that he is the minister, he has no chance to say such things. Therefore, it is simply clumsy to speak of these praises at present.

"Don't say that. At that time, I was just guessing casually. How could I have imagined that he would really make it to the finals now?"

As Maca spoke, he also looked at the middle-aged wizard in the field. It can be clearly seen from him that the other party seems to be carefully drawing a formation on the stone slab on the ground.

The initial steps of the players are almost the same, and there is nothing unusual for a while.

"This is the reason why modern alchemy will gradually become lonely. Even if you choose a more interesting topic, it will always be a bit boring at the beginning. If it is ancient alchemy, it seems that there is something like the duel of spells." What a wonderful scene!"

After thinking about it, Maca waited patiently.

Fortunately, these players in the arena are already quite high-level alchemists, and they are very efficient at drawing alchemy patterns. Not long after, the unique style of each alchemist gradually appeared on the field.

For example, a player in Mesopotamia has erected six stone pillars around the alchemy formation he drew, and the various alchemy symbols and patterns on the pillars are different. As he adjusted the stone pillars one by one, those symbols and patterns all lit up faintly.

For another example, the player from the Egyptian delegation placed a suspicious gold-encrusted coffin on the formation, and before the start of this match, he came here with this coffin on his back, which made many wizards feel taboo They all stayed away.

For example, the old witch in Africa got a huge crucible from nowhere, and kept stirring the liquid in it next to the completed strange formation, and big balls of deep puddles came out. Purple smoke.

These three players can all be said to be strong contenders for today's final championship.

Maca moved his nose slightly on the sidelines, sniffing the slightly dispersed purple mist in the air, and soon couldn't help frowning.

"The spine of the fire dragon, the stems and leaves of the black root, the slurry of the dead thorn, the living Saharan fire amoeba, the blood of a large number of mountain trolls... and the powder of the mandrake?" He roughly smelled himself I counted the materials, and then I was a little puzzled, "What's the use of putting these things together?"

Since Sarah is still pretending to be recuperating in the ward of the school hospital today, his question is destined to be answered when the results come out.

Next, various changes in the arena continued, and gradually became noticeable.

First of all, there is the contestant from Mesopotamia. The contestant who erected the stone pillars has already lit up all the stone pillars. Immediately, as the space in the middle of the refining formation retracted and retracted, a group of unknown silver substances slowly formed.

Under today's bright sunshine, the silver color reflected a metallic color, which looked very wonderful.

And followed by the "coffin porter" in Egypt.

The feeling on his side is not so good, because many viewers can clearly see that the coffin in the formation he made will vibrate every little while, as if something is going to shake at any time. It was indeed a little scary to lift the coffin board and jump out straight away.

Apart from the two of them, most of the other contestants also had some strange movements. Only the old African witch and the tuxedo alchemist, one is still slowly stirring the vat, and the other is simply drawing and forming formations, making it completely impossible to guess what they will come up with .

"Well?"

At this moment, Maka raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he felt something near those two people.
