Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity.

Chapter 31 Roger's Alchemical Path
The clear sound of reading and various snoring sounds, big or small, interweave with each other, as if creating a piece of music.

Normally, students are not supposed to sleep in class.

But this class is an exception.

This is a lesson that shouldn't be a lesson... the history of wizard magic.

Wizarding history is a subject worthy of study, but the person responsible for teaching this course at Hogwarts is a ghost.

Ghosts in the wizarding world are not simply souls after death. They are more like echoes of the dead that remain in the world. Although they have a certain intelligence, they have no future at all.

It can only think about the things that happened in his lifetime, and if the obsession is too low, it will further affect the ghost's intelligence.

Professor Cuthbert Binns, who was still thinking about going to class at the last moment before his death, was one of them.

As a ghost, he sees living people as dead objects, and it is difficult to communicate with him most of the time. His lectures are basically reading textbooks, which are quite boring.

Therefore, this class has become a 'catch-up sleep class' for most students.

There were only three exceptions.

One is Roger. He usually refers to wizard history, Muggle history, and his own past life memories, just like he did on the train when he first entered school, comparing them with each other, trying to find some "modified" details, and he enjoys this as a relaxing pleasure.

The other one is Hermione. Because of Roger's presence, she feels the academic pressure, so she is holding the book to preview the course content.

The last one is Harry. Now Harry has no habit of night tours, but his curiosity about Hogwarts Castle has not diminished, so he writes homework for other classes in History of Magic class, so that he has more time to explore this magic castle and do other things.

Today was the same as usual, with only three of them awake in class. However, there was a change in Roger. He did not take out two history books to relax like before, but was thinking about other things.

Nearly a month had passed since Professor McGonagall's first private alchemy lesson with Roger.

This month, Roger has gained a basic understanding of alchemy.

Then Roger discovered that alchemy was a path with huge potential, but this path... didn't seem suitable for him?

The alchemy of this world is complex to learn, including how to transform one substance into another, how to combine different magical materials to give substances magical properties... It involves a large number of knowledge points.

But it is not complicated to introduce it in general, there are only three factions in total.

One is to solidify the spell, which preserves a certain magical power. When needed, triggering relevant conditions can cause the magical effect.

Dumbledore's Deluminator, Ron's family's magic car, and the backpack that was solidified with the Traceless Extension Charm all belong to this category.

The other method is to combine various magical materials that are endowed with mystery by the minds of all living beings, and use the wizard's magic power to guide them to produce special reactions, and finally make them into the tools needed by the wizard.

The difference between this category and the previous one is that the wizard's involvement is reduced. For example, if a wizard wants to make an alchemical item with space properties, he no longer needs to understand space magic. He only needs to understand the formula for refining the alchemical object and have a certain degree of magic power.

The last type is the one Roger had seen in "Ritual Magic Is Much More Than Blood Sacrifice". It is the path taken by the Externalists in their quest to break through the upper limit of wizards' power, using the power of legends to create alchemical items.

These three alchemy schools all have great potential. One can solidify and store the magical power one possesses and pass it on to others for use.

One is the ability to acquire all sorts of magical powers that one does not yet possess, and the last one has the possibility of transcending limits.

But the problem is... they don't match Roger's characteristics.

The reason why Roger's magical ability made rapid progress and he was able to create some incredible magic when he was 11 years old and in the first year of Hogwarts, was not only because of his own talent, but more because of Roger's ability to foresee crisis, which was like a guiding light for him in magic experiments that were highly relevant to his own safety.

In a body modification experiment, even the slightest mistake could result in sudden death, so as long as there is a possibility of error, Roger's crisis premonition will sound an alarm and help him identify the direction.

Alchemy is purely an external thing. Although there are risks in its production, when most alchemical research goes wrong, no dangerous incidents will occur. Roger's sense of crisis cannot give him relevant hints in this process.

After all, wizard alchemy is not goblin engineering, which can easily explode.

Therefore, the speed at which Roger learned alchemy and the speed at which he developed his human body transformation skills... to put it in another way, it's just like the upgrade speed of a zero-spending player compared to a player who has spent 10 million.

Roger was sure that if he concentrated on alchemy and slowly developed the alchemical formula himself, he would have no hope of achieving immortality, let alone longevity.

But after a rough study, Roger found that alchemy did have the function of improving one's own "talents" as Professor McGonagall said.

It is indeed possible to realize an external alchemical information computing and storage device.

I can't pick it up, but I can't bear to put it down...

Are we going to outsource our roads like Hagrid did?

But the problem is that even if Roger wanted to find one, he couldn't find an alchemist on the Hogwarts campus who could make alchemical items of this level for him.

Until the end of get out of class, Roger had no idea what to do... Should he take advantage of the opportunity given to him by Dumbledore after the end of the semester and ask Nicolas Flamel for help?
The semester will end in June next year, and now it is October, so there are still 6 months left!
Am I going to watch this road lying before me, but not be able to walk on it for 8 months?
Roger's face showed a little trouble, which was rare. "What's wrong? You look miserable. This is not like you." A pleasant voice sounded in his ears. He turned around and saw that it was Hermione.

After class, Harry woke up the students who were still sleeping one by one, and Hermione noticed Roger's expression while packing her books, so she walked over.

Last month, Roger helped her resolve the conflict with Ron. After that incident, Hermione looked at herself through Ron's memory perspective and realized that some of her previous behaviors were a bit too extreme.

She learned her lesson and reflected on her actions so far. Now she is no longer so aggressive, her style of doing things has become a little softer, and she has her own friends.

Although most of the relationships are just superficial friendships, at least she has achieved a breakthrough from zero to one. Now she is no longer as anxious as before, and her pace of life is getting better.

And Hermione would naturally never forget that it was Roger who changed everything for her.

She remembered this kindness.

So when Roger seemed to be troubled, she came over.

...In fact, Ron, who had just woken up, also noticed Roger's appearance, but he didn't dare to go over when he saw Hermione approaching.

Ron always felt guilty about hurting someone who really wanted to help him, and he usually didn't dare to look at Hermione.

Roger was a straightforward man. He didn't hide anything and directly told what he was going to do.

"Thinking speed, multi-threaded thinking, that is, alchemical items that can improve one's wisdom." Hermione thought for a moment, and then her eyes suddenly widened.

"Oh my God! You want to create another Ravenclaw Diadem?!" Hermione, who is knowledgeable and knows everything, instantly thought of a legendary object that is highly similar to what Roger described.

"They are similar in function, but the working principles should be different." Roger shook his head. What he planned to make was just an external alchemical computer that could connect to the brain and understand his thoughts.

It just needs to store information and assist in calculations.

As for the ready-made Ravenclaw diadem, Roger had no interest in it. Although he did not know the details of what happened after "The Order of the Phoenix", he still knew that the "relics" of the founder of Hogwarts were made into a Horcrux by Voldemort.

Diary, Slytherin locket, Ravenclaw diadem, Hufflepuff gold cup, Harry Potter, Roger knew a total of five Horcruxes, and the diadem happened to be one of them. Roger was not interested in dealing with the remnant of Voldemort in the diadem.

I am not strong enough now, so I just go there to deliver food.

Then, Roger talked to Hermione about some things about alchemy. As long as it didn't involve his real core secrets, Roger was a person who was willing to share knowledge.

But it was obvious that the knowledge in this difficult course, which was only available to outstanding sixth-year students at Hogwarts, was a bit beyond the standard for Hermione, who was only in her first year.

Soon she felt dizzy and could only respond with "hmm" and "ahh".

However, although Hermione did not understand the technical details of alchemy that Roger talked about, she could still understand what Roger was worried about.

However, she really can't help with this.

Finally, Hermione could only say with emotion: "...If only your Transfiguration could create alchemical items."

Everyone who follows Roger knows that Roger has excellent Transfiguration skills and is highly regarded by Professor McGonagall.

"Yeah." Roger nodded subconsciously.

"If it's like my Transfiguration..." Roger suddenly stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

Silence for a few seconds, suddenly.

bump!
With a crisp sound, Roger stood up suddenly, and the chair behind him was knocked to the ground.

"Yup!"

"My Transfiguration!"

Recently, my thoughts have been trapped in the field of alchemy, within the framework limited by those books, and I almost forgot my own unique skills.

The obstruction of knowledge and perception is sometimes like this, a leaf blocking the view.

Roger, who was awakened by Hermione's words, knew what his future path should be!

"Transfiguration, human transformation... Alchemy, human alchemy..."

"Yes."

"Human Alchemy! This is my path to alchemy!"

Roger, I understand!
