Chapter 136 Necromancer Alchemy

Durmstrang's delegation entered the castle along with the students of Hogwarts.

After entering the auditorium, the Hogwarts students sat down at their respective houses' long tables.

At this time, everyone can see that the Beauxbatons students have chosen to sit at the Ravenclaw table. After they sat down, they looked around the auditorium with sullen expressions on their faces. Three of them, students who were obviously female from their stature, still had scarves and headscarves wrapped tightly around their heads.

Durmstrang's delegation was still gathered at the door, seemingly unsure where they should sit.

Even after he sat down, Goyle was still saying in a shocked tone: "I can't believe it! It's Krum, Draco! Viktor Krum!"

Several young wizards were secretly looking at the Durmstrang representative at the door. The one who received the most attention was undoubtedly the Bulgarian national team's Seeker - Viktor Krum.

This time, everyone saw Klum up close. He had a striking hooked nose and two thick, black eyebrows, and his expression was very gloomy.

"For God's sake, Goyle, he's just a Quidditch player." Draco said calmly, but he didn't look anywhere less.

"That's Krum!" Pansy said exaggeratedly, "Do you think he would sign my hat with lipstick?"

Audrey Runcorn and Tracey Davis started arguing over a lipstick.

Schelling was also looking at Durmstrang's group, but he was not looking at Klum, but the only woman in Durmstrang's delegation.

No one thought that Xie Lin was looking at beautiful women. At this moment, they all looked particularly tall because their whole bodies were wrapped in thick fur cloaks. The woman's figure was also invisible.

What really caught Sherrin's attention was her magic.

Xie Lin sniffed and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Thanks to the transformation of the body by the "Source of Life", Schelling's sense of smell is sharper than that of a swallow-tailed dog.

This is really a familiar smell to him - the unique smell of an alchemist, and only people who have been dealing with alchemy for a long time may have this smell. It is mixed with female perfumes, making this smell even more special. .

Even if this special smell is several feet away and mixed with the body odor of other people, to Schelling it is still like a light spot in the dark and can be easily distinguished.

At the same time, the magic eyes can also detect the strangeness of the magic power on her body. Her magic level is not weak, but it is actually at the same level as other Durmstrang students, and even slightly inferior to Krum.

But Xie Lin's magic eyes could only see a gray patch, and couldn't see anything clearly, which gave him an unusually cold and unreal feeling. He had a hunch that the magic power in her body had been sealed by some kind of alchemical method. If the magic power in her body were released, her magic power level would probably be only higher than his own.

The Durmstrang students finally decided to sit at the Slytherin table.

Probably because the students at the Slytherin table are more in line with their aesthetics in terms of clothing, appearance, and temperament!

As they took off their heavy fur cloaks, they looked up with interest at the dark, starlit ceiling. Two of the students also picked up the golden plates and goblets and looked at them carefully, obviously very interested.

After taking off the fur cloaks, Durmstrang's students are actually not that tall, they are about the same size as the seventh grade students at Hogwarts. However, most of the boys have Eastern European faces, with rough facial lines, and their hair is uniformly cut into a military-style crew cut. This gives an instant sense of Durmstrang's military discipline.

Krum's seat was right next to Draco's, and Sherrin could see it, making Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle very proud of themselves. Draco leaned forward with a smile and whispered to Krum, and the two of them quickly started talking and laughing.

This is not surprising. Durmstrang is a magic school that only accepts pure-blood students, and Karkaroff's management style is very similar to that of Muggle military schools. They are both high-pressure management and attach great importance to strict discipline. The entire school spirit is filled with an atmosphere of pure blood supremacy and bravery.

It wasn't surprising that their students and Slytherins chatted easily together.

Sitting opposite Xie Lin was the female student who caught Xie Lin's attention.

She had already taken off her cloak, revealing the crimson Durmstrang uniform underneath. The uniform was cut in a tight fit, clinging tightly to her body, showing off her curvy and graceful figure. Her facial features are very mature and dignified, and her light blue eyes make her look wise and intelligent. Her fair skin and red lips, coupled with her indifferent expression, give her a charming aura. Her entrance attracted the attention of almost all the little Slytherin wizards on the long table.

But she didn't show any concern about the attention paid to her by the people around her. Instead, she used her sparkling blue pupils to look back and forth at Xie Lin with interest, her mouth and eyes full of smiles.

Xie Lin naturally felt that the girl opposite was observing him, and she was doing so nakedly and unabashedly. In other circumstances, this would have been an ordinary thing. Xie Lin was very rare in Europe. Fame, his appearance has appeared on the covers of almost all major European media. It's not surprising at all to be recognized.

However, at this moment, Xie Lin always felt very awkward.

Xie Lin didn't think it was just a coincidence that she was sitting across from him. Although there was indeed an open seat opposite Schelling, Durmstrang's students deliberately avoided that seat. Of course, their actions were quite subtle, but how could they hide this from Xie Lin's divine spy Amaterasu?

However, out of politeness of an aristocratic gentleman, Schelling took the lead in greeting: "Good evening, beautiful lady, I am Malfoy. On behalf of Slytherin, I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope you will be happy with this place." Satisfied with the environment.”

The other party laughed softly, "Shailene Malfoy——" Her eyes were as dazzling as stars, and her words had an obvious accent unique to the northern countries, but her English was still fluent, "I have heard of you name--"

"The young master of the Malfoy family, the youngest Sir Merlin, the youth representative of the Medieval European Wizarding Federation, the inventor of the anti-sickness bracelet, the author of "Me and the Basilisk at Hogwarts" - your masterpiece I But after reading it several times, I have admired you for a long time. I am really happy to see you today! By the way, I almost forgot to say, my name is - Eleanor von Hohenheim... …”

Xie Lin's face became serious.

He is not an ignorant poor boy. He has naturally heard of this surname, and is even very aware of the importance this surname represents in the international wizarding world.

Since the Middle Ages and over the past thousand years, there have been no less than a hundred geniuses and peerless heroes in the entire wizarding world. However, there are only a few who can truly be remembered forever and be called "legends of a generation." people.

At least, as far as Schelling knew, there were only five.

The legendary mage Merlin is naturally a well-deserved one. The current headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, is also considered one. So did Nico Flamel, who successfully created the Philosopher's Stone.

The remaining two are naturally not as famous as the first three, but they are definitely names that all wizards are familiar with.

Zhang Guolao, the Chinese transformation master, is also known as Zhang Guolao, who rides a donkey backwards.

The alchemist Pallaser was born in Switzerland and settled in Germany.

Pallaser was the name he changed to himself. Before the name change, his full name was Theophrast von Hohenheim!

What's interesting is that although everyone knows Paraser's name, they are ignorant about his deeds and don't know anything about him.

Pallas is one of the 102 chocolate frogs in the cartoon, but in the cartoon, apart from stating that he is an alchemist and good at medical magic, it only mentions that he has discovered that the talent of the snake whisperer can be passed through blood. Such a discovery is inherited. Compared with the descriptions of Dumbledore, Merlin, and Nico Flamel in the pictures, his achievements are nothing to mention.

However, there is no doubt about Palaser's legendary nature.

In the wizarding world, there are two most common exclamations from wizards - the first is the well-known "Merlin's beard!" and the other is "Thanks Palather!"

This shows the status of Pallaser's name in the wizarding world.

What's more, Xie Lin still remembered that his to-do list also included exploring the Palaser Chamber, which would allow Aquila to attach great importance to this chamber and rank it with the other six chambers. This in itself That explains a lot of things.

(Note: "Thank you Palather" is not made up by the author. It comes from the Fantastic Beasts movie. Newt Scamander said an exclamation, which means thanking God)

Xie Lin's pupils uncontrollably looked at the family crest in the upper left corner of the girl's chest. Sure enough, it was the emblem of the Hohenheim family!

Eleanor was very satisfied with Xie Lin's reaction, showed an elegant smile, and gently played with the golden goblet with her fingers. I saw her green jade fingers gently sliding over the edge of the cup. The wine cup made a very subtle vibration sound, and the empty cup overflowed with red wine out of thin air!

Xie Lin's pupils shrank slightly.

Metamorphosis cannot create food out of thin air - wizards can use replenishing spells, expansion spells, and copying spells to increase food and drink, but it is absolutely impossible to create food out of thin air!

This is alchemy!

And it was alchemy that Schelling had never seen before!

When looking at Eleanor's breathtakingly beautiful face again, Xie Lin's eyes were filled with solemnity.

"I said, Eleanor, why do you like to show off so much? No matter how you say it, he is just an underage student..." The speaker was a sturdy boy, sitting not far to the right of Eleanor. . His body shape is a bit like the grown-up Goyle and Crabbe, and his appearance and facial features are very rough, with obvious characteristics of Eastern European men. While he was talking, he drank a lot of wine from the flask he brought with him in an imageless way. A few drops of wine even dripped on the robe on his chest.

Schelling knew that his name was Polyarco, and that he had introduced himself to Daphne when he had just introduced himself to Schelling.

Xie Lin showed a funny smile and said softly: "I don't think this is a kind of showing off!"

"Miss Hohenheim, when you cast the spell just now, you made me discover a secret!" Schelling said with a faint smile.

"Oh, what secret?" Eleanor leaned forward slightly, her face a little closer to Xie Lin, her deep blue eyes filled with soul-stirring glances, "Tell me, you make my sister's heart itch!"

Like a little fox who had successfully stolen a chicken, Xie Lin showed a sly smile and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You smell like corpse."

Eleanor's eyes flashed with shrewdness, but she smiled and said, "Great! You figured it out! This is a secret between us--" She turned her head and looked at Daphne, Astoria and other girls, "Don't even tell your girlfriends!"

Eleanor's generous admission did not surprise Schelling. Although the deeds of the Hohenheim family are rarely circulated, the branches of alchemy are extensive and complex, but in fact they all lead to the same goal. With Schelling's alchemy attainments and knowledge, it is not too difficult to guess the alchemy school that Eleanor is studying.

Alchemy, alchemy, it's just a nice way to say it--to put it bluntly, the ultimate indicators of alchemy are the same, first "immortality", then "resurrection from the dead", and the last level is "transcendence of eternity". "Eternity" refers to the limitations of time and space, which is another alchemical term, that is, deification. The so-called philosopher's stone, time converter, resurrection stone, etc., are just different means, and the ultimate goal is the same.

In order to study the relationship between alchemy and the human body, part of the alchemy research also includes the treatment of corpses. However, with the various cleaning spells and potions of wizards, it is not easy to remove the odor on the body.

There is only one explanation for the faint smell of corpses like Eleanor.

Necromancy.

Necromancy, also known as necromancy, is a branch of magic that combines black magic and alchemy.

The most famous necromancy in the wizarding world is the art of refining corpses to animate corpses.

In the original book, the magic of the resurrection stone that forcibly detained the souls of the dead and could even delay Voldemort for Harry for a moment is probably also within the scope of this magic field.

Sherin nodded, as if he agreed to keep her secret.

The two immediately began to chat about the differences between the two schools, as if everything just now had never happened.

Only Sherin knew in his heart that it seemed that the plot of this semester was getting more and more interesting.

Original text of Chapter 16 of Volume 4 of the original novel: Karkaroff's eyes slowly moved to Harry's face, staring at the scar. The students of Durmstrang also looked at Harry curiously. Harry could see from the corner of his eye that several people had expressions of realization on their faces. The boy with soup stains on his chest poked the girl next to him and pointed at Harry's forehead without any concealment. - Author: The Durmstrang delegation has at least one female member. The boy with soup stains on his chest is Polyaco.
