Chapter 403 The Book of Abraham
Needless to say, that stone must be the Philosopher's Stone owned by Flamel.
But Aiwen is now 27 very interested in the ancient and huge book he mentioned, the magic book left by the most powerful ancient warlock, prophet, priest, astrologer, and wise sage Abraham. This matter is incredible. Simply beyond imagination.
As for the source of the alchemy mastered by Lemay, Aiwen had conjectured before.
But he never thought that the real story itself would be so legendary.
At this moment, he realized that his imagination was so pale.
Apart from shock, Ivan couldn't find any other words to describe his feelings.
Even when he saw the nameless evil god for the first time, he was never so shocked.
He didn't expect that what Le May got was "The Book of Abraham"! ! !
This magic tome, which records the most profound knowledge of alchemy, is even more precious than all the legendary magic items that Ivan currently knows.
"I know very well that the magic book I got is the one mentioned by the strange man in my dream!" Flamel said slowly, "The Muggle who gave him to me didn't know its value at all, he told I, he found this book in a deserted ruins, but I couldn't understand the contents, not even a single word."
Flamel said he was tired, so he stopped to rest for a while.
"It was a large ancient book, not made of paper or sheepskin like other books, but made of delicate and smooth bark, with a cover tightly wrapped in brass, engraved with words or strange words. symbols." Flamel looked at Ivan, who was holding his breath and listening carefully, and said softly, "Those characters are not English, Latin, French or other characters that Muggles can understand, but I recognize them at a glance. It is an ancient rune, a writing that only the most learned wizards can read."
Just when Ivan was trying to think about the appearance of "The Book of Abraham", Lemay didn't stop, and he continued in his old voice.
"It took me forty years to fully decipher the meaning of each ancient rune on the cover." Flamel's voice suddenly dropped, "I'm sorry, my child! I can't put that text here Speaking out, it is different from the ancient runes we usually know. The words on the cover are magical. It is a powerful spell. Even if the magic is not used, it will be triggered by the power of language... "
Le May's intermittent voice was as low as a whisper. Even if Ai Wen stood very close, it was difficult to hear what the other party said behind him, so he had to move closer.
Now, in the empty corridor, he could only hear faint voices.
Flamel's voice seemed to be only mouth-shaped, and even the tiniest dust could not be disturbed. A strange and indescribable mysterious feeling rose from the depths of Ivan's heart.
He felt unprecedented depression, and he found that the hairs all over his body were standing on his head, and the strange anxiety and fear became more and more intense.
"My dear child, you just need to know that whoever gets that book will never let it go from his hands. No one can ignore this book, because it can stimulate the deepest ambition and passion in the heart. Desire." Flamel sighed for a long time, and his voice gradually returned to normal, "The rest of the matter is very simple. With the help of that book, I refined the Philosopher's Stone that I obtained from Muggles at the same time. After the system is completed, you will obtain unimaginable wealth and eternal life from now on.”
Although LeMay did not describe the specific process of refining the Philosopher's Stone, Ivan can imagine the difficulties involved.
It took forty years to decipher the ancient magic on the cover, and the contents inside the book must be more complicated and difficult to understand.
He could imagine that LeMay sat alone at the desk, day and night, confirming the instructions in the book word by word, and this process lasted for a full six hundred years!
"As I said before, the magic book is very thick, and the pages inside are divided into three groups. There is no text on the front page of each group, but strange patterns are drawn." Flamel said, "I used six It took more than a hundred years to decipher it and obtain unimaginable alchemy knowledge from it, but until now, I can only understand the content recorded on the first set of pages."
Ai Wen looked at Le May, and a trace of unconcealable disappointment flashed across the face of the old wizard.
He didn't know why Flamel showed such an expression. In his opinion, being able to learn a third of the content of a legendary magic book like "The Book of Abraham" is already quite a great achievement.
What's more, LeMay still has time, as long as he doesn't destroy the Philosopher's Stone, with the help of the elixir of life, sooner or later he will understand the knowledge recorded in the entire book.
"No, with the deepening of research, I finally discovered that my starting point, the most basic part of all theories, has been wrong, and it doesn't make any sense to continue." Seems to know what Aiwen is thinking, LeMay Shaking his head, he said, "I chose to use that Philosopher's Stone to obtain wealth and eternal life. I obtained these things that are of no use to human beings, but I gave up the opportunity to obtain greater knowledge. Perhaps, only death is my only... ...."
Flamel closed his eyes and did not continue speaking.
But the thoughts in Ai Wen's mind became clearer and clearer, and all the previous doubts seemed to be finally able to be drawn into a circle and completely solved.
Flamel must have learned something from the Book of Abraham, which is why he said that death was just the beginning of another great adventure.
But what did the opportunity he just mentioned mean? !
It seems that LeMay has no intention of continuing to explain to Ivan. It seems that if he wants to find out the ins and outs of this matter, he can only take a look at the "Book of Abraham" with his own eyes.
However, Ivan felt a headache when he thought that it took Lemay more than six hundred years to decipher one-third of the book.
He didn't want his future fate to be spent lying in front of the table.
"I just said that I am ready to taste the taste of death, but I am worried about one thing, so I have stored a lot of elixirs." Le May looked into Ivan's eyes and said seriously, "You should have guessed it , what I am worried about is the inheritance of that book, I can't let it be buried because of my departure."
Alvin felt his heart beating hard, and his breathing couldn't help but become heavy.
In fact, he had this hunch before that LeMay might give him the "Book of Abraham".
But when he was about to hear the news, he couldn't help being nervous.
Before today, even in his dreams, he never thought that he would get the legendary magic item "Book of Abraham" during his trip to France.
Perhaps it was precisely because Dumbledore knew this that he brought him to France, to Beauxbatons, to see Nicole Flamel. (To be continued.)
