I became Voldemort

Chapter 21: Profound Alchemy

Almost as soon as Cyrus took the book in his hands, he realized something was wrong.

Its material is neither paper nor sheepskin. The text and illustrations in the book are not drawn but seem to be stamped with metal.

The book is very thin, only 21 pages, but the page numbers in the corners are not in accordance with the rules and are not marked in order.

Instead, a "seven" is marked every seven pages, a total of three.

According to the general understanding in the wizarding world, "seven" is indeed a magical number. In fact, there is a course at Hogwarts that specifically mentions this magical number, and Voldemort also loves seven very much.

However, this is an alchemy and in alchemy, "three" is considered a magic number.

As for the content in this book, he couldn't decipher it at all.

The knowledge possessed by Voldemort in the fifth grade seemed a bit superficial when compared with more profound knowledge. Not to mention, even Nico Flamel, who had the dream revelation, spent twenty-eight years to decipher the mystery of this book.

Cyrus closed the "Jewish Book of Abraham" and looked next to it, and sure enough he found another book——

Nicol Flamel's manuscript, The Book of Hieroglyphs.

In comparison, this book was very thick. Cyrus flipped through a few pages at random, and an opened letter slipped out of the book.

"To- Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

"Dear Albus,

"After experiencing a very long time - more than six centuries - dragging our already dilapidated bodies and facing death, neither Perenel nor I have any fear. Both of us want to believe that when the world knows After our death, we can't help but feel regret for the end of our lives and greed for our huge wealth, except for you, Albus!

"We both believed that death was just another adventure, one in which Perenelle and I had been too late.

"Before I leave, I will give you the two most important books in my lifetime to commemorate you as a friend who is more than five hundred years younger than me, but is even wiser than me - in addition, I left my wealth to Beauxbatons, I hope you don't mind. Of course, I know very well that Albus Dumbledore has never been interested in this at all.

"I dare not say that I have understood all the mysteries of the "Jewish Book of Abraham". This book foreseen in dreams, although only has a few pages, but contains real wisdom and truth. I hope you will keep it safe. If you can decipher the whole mystery behind it, then it would be even better.

"However, we all know understanding that book is too difficult. During the time when we first met and later worked closely together to explore the secrets of magic and alchemy, you have read this book countless times. , but there is no progress at all. I very much want to believe that since it found me through prophecy, then maybe fate can take it to where it should go.

"Now, because of Voldemort, I am determined to transfer the Philosopher's Stone to you. Maybe this is also a revelation....

"Having said that, Perenelle and I actually left a lot of elixirs behind, so please don't worry about it."

"Also, I believe we will meet again soon."

Cyrus closed the letter, finally understanding what was going on.

"A person like Riddle who fears death will definitely take it as his own if he knows the existence of this book. But Riddle has no memory of it. Because it was placed here by Dumbledore last year."

The envelope has been opened, indicating that Dumbledore has read Nicol Flameliu's letter and knows that these two books were actually given to him by Nico, but he has no intention of ​​taking them as his own.

Selflessly, he placed them in the forbidden book area, waiting for the "revelation of fate" that Nicolas mentioned.

"Could this revelation be me?" Cyrus couldn't help but think narcissistically.

But no matter what, he was unwilling to let go of these two books.

If he could really refine the Philosopher's Stone, it would be very helpful for his resurrection. Even if he could only refine some defective products, as long as he could replenish his vitality, the harm to Ginny would be much less.

Thinking of this, Cyrus quickly flipped through these two books and also selected some other alchemical works in order to draw parallels.

Voldemort's alchemy level was actually very high. Not only did he obtain the Advanced Wizard Certificate with excellent results, he also interned in Borgin's shop for a period of time after graduation. However, that was the Tom Riddle after graduation, not the fifth-grade Tom Riddle now.

"The book 'Islamic Alchemy and the Tree of Life in Kabbalah' records a wizard named Hohenheim, another legendary wizard who possesses the Philosopher's Stone. However, there is doubt as to whether it is true or not." Cyrus said aloud.

He took a deep breath and quickly started reading.

He was glad that his soul was in a state of a 'memory' now, otherwise, it would have been impossible to memorize all the books in a short time.

Because of his special state at this time, the diary will be equivalent to another precious pensieve. All the books he has read will be recorded in the form of pictures inside that grey space.

He could just record the contents of these books first and then analyze them slowly when he gets back.

Of course, the time required to study will not actually be reduced, it is just relatively safe.

"The ancient Egyptian alchemical classic 'Jade Record' also has some reference value, Umm.. some kind of riddle is written here:— To create the miracle of the 'only thing', you need to understand that the things in the upper world are the same as the lower world, and the things in the lower world are no different from the upper world."

"What is the 'only thing'?"

In addition to this copy of the Jade Record, there was another "Book of Thoth" beside it, which had a very deep connection with the "Jade Record", so Cyrus also opened it together with the Jade Record.

At this time, he didn't ask for a detailed explanation, it could even be said that he was looking at the pages in a hurry. He only looked at a general idea of ​​whether he needed it, and then immediately decided to put it down or record it.

Gradually, Cyrus became obsessed with it, and it was not until the harsh rooster crow came from outside the castle that he woke up, and he suddenly realized that it was almost dawn.

"I have to go back quickly - I originally said I would look for some powerful black magic books to see if I could improve my strength, but I ended up reading Alchemy all night..." Cyrus shook his head, but he didn't regret looking at these books and not trying to find the dark magic ones, he didn't feel any pity at all. He just wanted to return this body to Ginny and continue to slowly digest the knowledge in the memory space.

Walking quickly in the corridors of Hogwarts, outside the castle, the sky is still dark, but the eastern sky has begun to slowly turn white.

"By the way, I have to kill a rooster as soon as possible."

Before this, Cyrus had killed already killed a rooster, but he did not dare to kill them all at once, otherwise, it would have been too suspicious.
