Chapter 774: Iolum Longevity Technique
Xenophilius Lovegood leaned forward and said cheerfully, "Since we already have the Philosopher's Stone, can't we stop working? Luna waits for you to go on vacation with Dad to find the Horned Snork, right? "
"We can't produce too much gold, which will cause inflation. That is to say, if we change it into gold galleons, when the currency is in circulation, because it exists as currency is greater than the actual needs of our magic world, If the purchasing power is greater than the actual supply we can produce, it will easily lead to the depreciation of the gold Galleon, which will cause a sustained and general rise in prices for a period of time, which will lead to the collapse of the already fragile and unreasonable economic system of the wizarding world, so We absolutely can't use the Philosopher's Stone endlessly to make wealth, so we have to rely on businesses like umbrellas to make money." Hermione sat up straight and explained solemnly.
Except for Hermione and the others who were all pure-blooded, their sluggish looks showed that no matter how good the Muggles were at studying science, they didn't understand these things.
Allen understood, but he just coughed lightly, and didn't dare to look at Hermione who was defending him: "The magic stone's ability to turn stones into gold is just one of its small functions in alchemy, its biggest function It is the ability to make an elixir of life, which can keep people from dying of old age, but it can't keep you young forever, people will still age slowly over time-at least a part of you is like this , especially your bones, even if you take care of yourself for hundreds of years, it is estimated that shaking hands with others normally can break your bones... So in history, basically living to six hundred years old is the limit, and later because of The quality-of-life problem leads to the idea that 'death is actually like going to bed after a long day'."
Thinking of the experiment on Hagrid's mother Friedwafa, Allen spread his hands in helplessness: "If you look at the elixir made of the Philosopher's Stone, there is currently no solution to it."
"Is there any other way to solve it?" Hermione sensed his hidden meaning from the logical relationship revealed in Alan's words, recalled the story Alan told her before, and asked with some surprise and uncertainty: "Dems Did you find the fountain of youth hidden in the Bimini Islands that was found by the pirate named Cotton Jack in Tron's Captain Cosby story?"
Allen waved his hands again and again: "Uh...not, Hermione, and out of etiquette and his personal wishes, it's best to add the captain after his name..."
"Scroll of Nether, Iolum Longevity Technique." Luna's trance voice sounded again, everyone turned to look at Luna, wondering and waiting for her further explanation, but Luna just looked back Then they fell silent.
"During the time of Netheril, there was a wizard named Iolum. As one of the greatest human archmages, Iolum was the main disseminator of Netheril magic. The number of arcanists who came from him exceeded Three thousand people. More importantly, without this person's grand appearance in the history of ancient magic, the core of Mythra that made the city of Netheril fly into the sky would also cease to exist-yes, he invented And the wizard who made Mythra's Core, and he also invented a longevity technique named after him. After successful casting, it can extend the current age of the caster. Every time a living creature is killed, it can almost Extend your lifespan by one year, and you can even choose to consume more vitality to rejuvenate your own age group to the previous stage." Allen took a sip of tea after speaking, watching the reactions of others with interest.
The faces of some members in the seats became a little embarrassed. Daisy, who hadn't noticed the meaning at first, was still happy to be rejuvenated. At this time, she felt the strangeness of the people around her and realized that something was wrong, and her lips were pursed tightly.
Allen took a peek at Hermione, only to find that the clever Miss Know-It-All obviously noticed that the key words in his words just now were not fooled, and introduced with some disappointment: "You guys misunderstood, what Iolum Longevity absorbs is' living organisms' vitality,
So it doesn't have to be human beings—although the spell in the record is based on killing humanoid creatures, we can use the vitality of non-intelligent creatures as the target of the spell. Even if the effect is poor, I will give you more Just cast it a few times. In addition, if there is no psychological pressure - Lun, try to keep the death row prisoners for us as much as possible, not only the death row prisoners in the magic world, we can also use the Muggle death row prisoners, at least to make their deaths worthwhile..."
"Live creatures are not difficult to find, Josephine, your department can pay more attention when it comes to operations. Hermione, you can ask the umbrella to allocate a certain amount of money as a special fund." Owen relaxed his body and ordered.
Emily stopped fiddling with the tablecloth and imitated Albert's way to let out a long breath on purpose. In fact, she didn't care. Whether it was a human, humanoid or living creature, as long as it could improve its strength, it would be fine. usable.
Lun noticed the point, "Alan, why don't you just use Iolum's longevity technique and ask us to take the elixir of life?"
Allen is very satisfied with his second brother's sensitivity in these aspects: "Unlike the effect of potion, the effect of Iolum's longevity technique is maintained by magic, although this time limit is 'permanent.'"
Most of the wizards present made a clear expression, Daisy poked her sister who was sitting next to her and nodded just now, and then Emily explained to her sister helplessly: "Although this kind of magic is successfully cast You don’t have to worry about the time limit, but there is a big problem, targeted counter-spells and even general-purpose counter-spells such as the end of all curses will cause the magic to fail.”
"Emily, your spell class is much better than Daisy's. You're right. Once Iolum's Generation is canceled by the counter-curse, the magic effect of maintaining youth will no longer exist, so the escaped In fact, many great arcanists in Netheril would rather turn themselves into undead liches than use this spell, because too many users died in accidents." After applauding his sister, Allen explained, and then added, "So whether it's the Sorcerer's Stone or the Iolum Immortality spell, both have their own shortcomings, but if we use them together, we can make up for each other's shortcomings. Use the Iolum Immortality Technique to maintain youth, long-term use of the elixir so that we will not die of aging, so that even if the spell on our body is lifted in an accident, we will not immediately age to death, so that I have enough time to start again Make up the magic spell for you to rejuvenate your youth."
"Another reason to take the elixir first." Luna's voice sounded again, "Alan hasn't learned the spell yet, and it will take him a long time to read them. His progress is very slow."
"Cough...That's because I have to focus on other things, the Department of Mysteries, Hogwarts, and the Miser energy core you want me to study..." Allen retorted a few words and coughed dryly, "As long as we For the current grade, this spell is not the most important, and the elixir of life is enough for the time being."
Allen's production of the Philosopher's Stone was enough to shock people like Fleur and Xenophilius who knew about it for the first time, not to mention that there is a spell of eternal youth that can complement the Philosopher's Stone. All of a sudden, these fanciful happiness made Furong feel a little unreal.
"The potions of immortality made by our Philosopher's Stone, you can distribute them to your loved ones, so that they can also avoid death and escape death." Seeing their situation like this, Allen thought more about them A little more, "Don't worry, just like Nick Flamel could easily make enough elixirs before he destroyed the Philosopher's Stone to give him enough time to deal with his aftermath, making this potion is not too much work. You can make a lot of them—it's just making the Philosopher's Stone itself."
Hearing this, Furong beamed with joy, and her delicate face became more rosy. If it wasn't for such an occasion, she would have liked to go up and hug Alan. Fu Rong's grandmother and maternal grandmother are not too young, even for a Veela. And Fleur's sister, Gabrielle Delacour, is one of the most important people in her life. It would be wonderful if they could also take the elixir of life.
Excited, Fleur suddenly caught a glimpse of Mrs. Morgan Ferrer Harris' unhesitating expression, and her thoughts turned. She guessed that the other party should be worried about the hidden dangers caused by Allen's making the elixir made of the Philosopher's Stone and distributing it to too many people. , and thinking of her questioning Allen because of her outspokenness just now, she quickly said in a flattering manner: "Anyone who has not joined the family and wants to take the elixir of life must make an unbreakable oath."
But this made Hermione worry. She realized that her parents, Penello's parents, were Muggles, and there might be no way to make an unbreakable oath—but after a while she thought of a solution, "No way Those who make an unbreakable oath can sign a devil's contract with Allen."
"You don't need to be so troublesome." Allen pressed his hands in the air, "I will announce that I have made the Philosopher's Stone at the right time. In addition, you can contact Aunt Josephine and find time to test your suitable magic. Nimagus subjects, hurry up and choose the Animagus you want to transform, your progress in this aspect is too slow."
"Alan, we still have a phoenix that has not been tamed. You can find time to read books related to phoenixes, take time to tame it, and see if the blood of this phoenix can be used." Owen thought that there is another phoenix that has not been tamed. After being recovered, he reminded Allen, "And I will discuss this matter with Lun when I come down, and see if I can help you relate it to matters of faith."
Allen rubbed his temples. There were too many things for him to analyze, study, and deal with. These complicated things gave him a headache.
Hermione noticed Alan's movements, and recalled that she was so distressed when she used the time-turner. Now Alan needs to do far more and more complicated things than herself at the beginning, and has heavier responsibilities. It's just that Alan has never It showed that everyone was used to him being able to solve anything, and didn't realize the heavy burden on him, Hermione offered: "Alan, I'm here to find these books related to Phoenix, and you can just read the main points in the final summary. "
