Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 171, Page 169: You are already a mature door to truth.

"Door?"

Dali shook his head, his mind becoming much clearer.

When he came to his senses, he found that he was no longer in the bedroom.

As if my soul had left my body, I found myself in a strange place in the blink of an eye.

"Where is this?"

Dudley looked around at his surroundings; everything was a vast expanse of white, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Behind us was also a vast expanse of white.

Only when looking directly ahead can one thing appear clearly in one's field of vision.

That was a door.

A stone gate.

An antique stone door, bearing the marks of time.

Dudley unconsciously took a few steps forward and came to the front of the door.

On the antique stone gate, there seems to be a huge magic circle engraved. Upon closer inspection, it is ten round wheels, which are distributed on both sides of the gate like tree branches. At the bottom of the magic circle, there are ten wings, which are also distributed on both sides of the gate.

The Kabbalah Tree of Life.

"I think I know where I am now."

Gate of Truth

A place every alchemist dreams of reaching.

"Before the door lies the sorcerer; behind the door lies the truth."

Legend has it that pushing open this door will reveal the truth.

Similar to the "roots" of magicians in the Type-Moon world, a place that magicians strive to reach in their entire lives.

Standing in front of the gate, looking at the weathered marks left by time, it's as if a faint voice is ringing in my ears.

"Come on, push open the door, push it open, everything you want is behind the door."

"I can make anything happen for you."

"Money, fame, power, beautiful women, strength!"

"It is inexhaustible and can be used without limit."

"Once you push open this door, you can become an omnipotent god."

Full of temptation and desire, it makes your heart flutter.

It's a pity.

"I refuse!"

Dali said calmly, completely unmoved by the voice.

"I am not a licensed alchemist."

Yes, Dudley's alchemy skills are largely due to the system, not because he is a traditional alchemist.

His own attitude toward alchemy is also very clear.

Alchemy is merely a tool to me.

Without a second thought, Dali turned and left, not even glancing at the door that countless alchemists longed for, without the slightest lingering affection.

How do I get back?

"Wait a minute. Don't you want anything?"

The voice rang out again, but it was much clearer, no longer as hazy as before.

"Don't you have any desires?"

A transparent, indistinct figure appeared beneath the Gate of Truth, and Chongdali shouted loudly.

"Of course," Dali said, stopping in his tracks and turning his back to the other person.

Pushing open the door to truth comes at a great price; some have lost their hands and feet, some have lost their bodies, and some have lost their eyes.

Dali can obtain everything that the Gate of Truth offers with his own hands; it just takes a little time.

Money, fame, power, strength—Dali had none of these things.

But what Dali wanted, the other party really couldn't give him.

"Will you let me transform into a Super Saiyan?"

Dudley's voice drifted over.

"."

The transparent figure fell silent.

"Or perhaps Ultra Instinct?"

"."

"Seventy-two transformations of the Earthly Fiends? Thirty-six transformations of the Heavenly Dippers? Living as long as Heaven and Earth?"

"."

"If all else fails, I'll settle for a Platinum Star."

"."

Faced with Dudley's various demands, the figure simply responded with silence.

Equivalent exchange is true, but the prerequisite is that he needs to know what it is and understand its composition.

Super Saiyan, Ultra Instinct, and Star Platinum are currently incomprehensible to the Gate of Truth.

In theory, the Gate of Truth should be an omniscient and omnipotent entity.

However, this omniscience and omnipotence are only relative.

If something is beyond the scope of cognition, then it is no longer omniscient and omnipotent.

Different worlds have different rules, just as you can't use the imperial sword of the previous dynasty to execute ministers of the current dynasty.

For example, the Gate of Truth cannot resurrect the dead.

But Shenron from the Dragon Ball world can, and in many other worlds, he can 'revive'.

"If you can't do it, don't make such confident promises."

Dali spoke calmly, unafraid of offending the other party.

Or rather, they simply don't care.

Other Worlds

Before the Gate of Truth, the originally transparent little man seemed to have discovered something and was filled with excitement.

"Exploring the unknown world and acquiring unknown information is worth the exchange."

It was as if he was convincing himself, talking to himself.

The stone door slowly opened a crack without anyone pushing it.

You are already a mature door to truth; now you must learn to open it yourself.

The next second, Dali felt that everything in front of him seemed to have changed again.

The Gate of Truth gradually disappeared, and the white environment vanished along with it.

When Dudley came to his senses, he was still sitting in his seat holding his wand.

I glanced at the time.

Less than ten seconds had passed.

It was as if everything that had just happened was just my own illusion.

But that was definitely not an illusion.

He seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of alchemy, and he snapped his fingers lightly.

A flash of red light suddenly appeared in the air.

"bump"

An explosion suddenly erupted in the bedroom.

Appearing without warning, disappearing without warning.

This is actually a form of alchemy, which involves adjusting the air concentration to create an explosion.

The ability of a certain Flame Colonel.

More importantly, Dudley never sketched out this 'explosion' transmutation circle, nor did he use the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

This means that he has gained the ability to easily perform alchemy even without a transmutation circle.

This is something everyone who has seen the Gate of Truth possesses.

The difference is that they are all missing limbs, while Dali is perfectly fine.

"That's so convenient."

Dali sighed, then looked at the pile of materials on the table.

Encountering the Gate of Truth was merely an unexpected little incident.

There are more important things to do now.

With hands clasped together, the magical transformation was activated.

Under Dudley's manipulation, the mithril seemed to come alive, first turning into a liquid and then slowly covering the wand, coating it with a silvery-white layer.

It's a pity there weren't enough materials, otherwise Dudley would have even considered modifying the wand to resemble Gandalf's style.

Normally, it can be used for lighting, but in critical moments it can also be used as a weapon to knock down one by one.

The silver-white wand was decorated with many magic circles, adding to its mystique.

Next was an emerald imbued with a touch of magic, which Dudley set in the center of the wand.

And that sapphire crystal with magic power.

As the most important core of the wand, Dudley set it at the end of the wand.

Thanks to the powerful magic armor modification skill, everything proceeded very smoothly.

A moment later, a brand new wand, entirely silver-white, simple yet luxurious, and exuding a chilling aura, appeared before them.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a rainbow appeared before his eyes.

Just like Harry did back then.
