Chapter 400 Uncertain Future
Ai Wen stared blankly at the smoke in front of him, slightly distracted.
In the rising smoke, Flamel's words seemed to come from far away.
To be honest, he couldn't understand the specific working principle of these silverware.
Through these smoke, you can see the scene within a certain range...
This has exceeded his understanding of existing magic, and it needs to mix many kinds of spells together to do it.
Immediately afterwards, he thought of the Marauder's Map closest to the alchemy tool in front of him.
Aiwen once asked Sirius carefully, knowing that when they made the Marauder's Map, in addition to the magic power of the name and the transformation technique, they also referred to many alchemy principles, which is also the key to the successful refining of the map.
As Flamel said, alchemy is indeed very magical.
"Alchemy can help you do many things, but it is not omnipotent. No matter how powerful the props are, they must follow the most basic magic rules." Looking at Ivan who was in a daze, Lemay warned, "For example, you This thing in front of you, as long as the other party is on guard, it can prevent you from peeping. There are still many places protected by magic, and you can't see it."
He tapped the silver lightly, and the plume of smoke gushed out again.
But this time, the smog was so hazy that nothing could be seen clearly.
"This is Beauxbaton's girls' dormitory, and the protective magic outside the lounge interferes with its operation." LeMay continued, "So unfortunately, I can't help you see that girl with Veela blood is here at this time. What it looks like in the dormitory."
Ai Wen was speechless, he really couldn't see any regrets about it.
He had no intention of spying on Gabriel at all, let alone sneaking a sneak peek at the girls' dormitory with Flamel here, this kind of behavior is too perverted.
However, what LeMay said made people think about it.
As long as it is not in a magically protected place like Hogwarts or Beauxbatons, using this alchemy product seems to be able to see a lot of things...
"Okay, if you have nothing else to see, we can continue to visit my next work." Lemay led Ivan forward.
Next, under the introduction of the other party, Ivan saw a statue of a wizard who kept spouting colorful bubbles.
These bubbles will float around you, popping one will trigger a classic opera that echoes throughout the hallway.
It is well known that Nicole Flamel is the most devoted opera lover.
Driven by this hobby, such a magic product was born.
In addition, there is a crystal called "Star Antimony" by LeMay.
It is said that it can change the material composition of things it touches, such as making a stone change back and forth between gold, silver, black iron, brass, wood, etc.
However, in this process, it needs to consume an unimaginable amount of magic power.
Ivan suspected that even Dumbledore might not be able to use this crystal at will.
Continuing along the corridor, Ivan saw many magical props.
Among the many alchemy products, what caught his attention the most was a magic item that was said to assist in divination and prophecy.
It is a huge stone basin filled with a silver liquid, carved with intricate magical symbols, and looks similar to a Pensieve.
"This is the last work I refined. It's like entering a dream. It can help you see the future clearly, instead of seeing ambiguous omens." LeMay slowed down with his unique old voice. He said slowly, "The wonderful combination of alchemy and divination, although the prediction results may not be accurate, but divination is inherently illusory, and few people can make real predictions."
Ivan nodded, he thought of Professor Trelawney.
She might actually be able to see the future sometimes, but if she believed in these things too much, the most likely result would be to drive herself insane first.
"How about it, do you want to try it?!" LeMay signaled Ivan to stand in front of the stone basin, "Stare at the liquid inside, relax, relax..."
Flamel waved his wand and muttered a spell that Ivan couldn't understand.
A flickering dark gray light emerged from the end of the wand, and the silver liquid in the stone basin in front of him began to swirl rapidly, forming a vortex.
Aiwen felt his soul being sucked into it, his eyes blurred for a while, and he blinked hard.
In the next second, he saw a huge space paved with huge, rough black stones appearing in the silver liquid in the stone basin, surrounded by mist.
Ai Wen didn't understand, what was going on, could this be his future? !
Just when he was about to ask Le May, the scene in front of him began to change rapidly.
The self in the stone basin was running forward with all his strength, and his vision quickly skipped forward.
Immediately afterwards, the screen turned, and Ai Wen saw a man's figure appearing in the stone basin.
The man was a muscular man, and he couldn't make out his exact appearance.
Because the distance is too far away, the future self in the stone basin is still fleeing at an accelerated rate.
The hazy fog was getting thicker and thicker. With his intuition, Aiwen could feel that the other party was doing something terrible, but he couldn't see clearly.
He could only vaguely see that the man's head seemed to be changing.
He seemed to do something, then, slowly turned around...
At the most critical moment, the picture stopped abruptly.
The liquid in the stone basin returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
"The man who just appeared seems to be about to cast some black magic. You'd better be careful." Le May raised his head and said slowly, "Of course, you don't need to worry too much. As I said just now, this thing is very accurate. Low, it can't complete the real divination, it just shows what you think in your heart."
"But I can be sure, I've never seen that man before?!"
"Who knows!" LeMay didn't stop in front of the stone basin, and continued to move forward, as if he didn't care much about Aiwen's future, "Maybe it's malfunctioning, it's normal, using an alchemy product to divination fate, That in itself is a crazy thing, the unrealistic delusion of an old man who has lived too long."
Nick Flame stopped, turned around and stared at Ivan.
"But you have to know that when I first refined this thing, I spent a lot of hard work, and it is the final crystallization of my alchemy knowledge." He paused and continued, "Although I am not very proficient in divination, but if you want to I said it might work just once."
This sentence sounds really unpleasant, and the other party seems to be tactfully telling Ivan to accept that bad future.
"Has anyone else used that stone basin?" he asked hastily. "What did they see?"
"Besides me, you are the second person to use it." LeMay looked at Ivan, "and I saw in it..."
In the silver moonlight, Aiwen couldn't help but concentrate.
He quietly looked at the old wizard in front of him, and the deep wrinkles on his face.
He didn't know what Le May saw, but judging from his serious expression, it was definitely not something that could make people happy. (To be continued.)
