MTL - Harry Potter’s Morning Light-Chapter 2750 Land of the Firebirds (fifty-eight)

  Chapter 2750 Firebird Land (fifty-eight)

   When Albus was young, he went to Cairo to compete in the alchemy competition, but he didn't go just for the competition.

  Pomona looked through the notes he left behind. One day when he was wandering around the paint market in Cairo, he found dragon blood for sale, even though there were Muggles visiting the market.

Vendors will brag to customers how this bottle of blood is related to stories between saints, princes, princesses, and giant beasts. This is nothing more than trying to raise prices, and customers are well aware of the hawker's tricks, not every day. Each bottle is filled with "dragon's blood".

  Maybe to prove that he knows the goods, or because he is young and energetic, Dumbledore also bought a bottle, but he was fooled. Since then, he has become interested in studying dragon blood.

  Slughorn once used dragon's blood in a Muggle's home to fake the illusion that he was attacked. This is because dragon's blood, like wizard's blood, has residual magic power, but Muggle's blood does not.

People have always used dragon blood for potions. After all, dragons are powerful creatures, so their blood should also have powerful curative effects. However, Albus discovered that dragon blood can be used to clean the stove. , as a cleaner to remove stains, because he did that when he was a young man doing housework.

  When the twelve papers on dragon's blood were first published, if it weren't for the fact that he was the hero who defeated Gellert Grindelwald, people almost thought this paper was a child's play.

  The ashes in the stove are mainly grease and plant ash, and dragon blood can dissolve them. Pomona used this characteristic of dragon blood to make the potion needed for the maze.

  Although they are all fire dragons, the characteristics of Welsh Green Dragon, Hungarian Horntail, Chinese Fireball and Swiss Short-nosed Dragon's Blood are different. Especially in terms of spiritual potions, Chinese Fireball is better than other dragons.

  Feliwei believes that the animal attached to Fiendfyre does not really exist, but a consciousness that appears based on the imagination of the caster.

If you observe the ghosts in Hogwarts carefully, you will find that although they are floating, they are not like the "dragon" in the cemetery of Père Lachaise. After it was trapped, it immediately flew upwards, and Nicolumay commanded the purification fire to prevent the "dragon" from continuing to rise.

   This is also a major characteristic of the Philosopher's Stone, it can only restore "complete life" to souls bound by the earth. Nicholas could cast spells and feel pain, and his body would not pass through walls like a ghost, but his need for food was not as urgent as that of a living person, and he would feel a strong hunger. When eating, it's not like a ghost who can't taste anything, but can't feel "delicious".

  Albus is just addicted to sweets. His appetite is not as good as Ron's. You only need to see Ron eating to know that this dish must be delicious.

  Food can bring happiness. If eating does not feel happiness, but is just a task that needs to be repeated constantly, then many people will probably forget to eat like they forgot to do their homework, and feel comfortable after eating and drinking.

   covered her eyes with both hands.

   "Guess who I am?" someone behind her said in a low voice.

  Pomona thought he was naive, who else would there be in this place but the two of them?

   "Severus," she said gruffly, "I'm reading, get your hands off me!"

   As expected, he let go of his hand, but he didn't give up disturbing her from reading. He moved his big nose to her neck and sniffed carefully.

   "What's for dinner later?"

  She felt that what he wanted to ask was not what he "really" ate.

  After she came out of the movie theater that day, she went to the store next door called Victoria's Secret on a whim, and at the instigation of the clerk, she bought a few sets of "clothes".

   There is a proverb called the full stomach loathes the honeycomb (the full stomach loathes the honeycomb), people who are full will not be as hungry as when they are hungry.

   "I want to eat outside." She whispered, "I want to go shopping after dinner."

   "You want to go shopping?" he said without emotion.

   "No, you can go with me to choose the 'candy' you like in the store."

  He struggled for a little while, and finally said "I prefer to keep the surprises."

   "So you're not going to hang out with me?" Pomona asked.

   "Go, but I'll wait for you outside the store."

  She was quite satisfied with this compromise plan. She put down her book and was about to stand up and prepare to go out when he suddenly kissed her.

  Since they lived in seclusion, they don't need to meet secretly like before, but instead, something is missing. It is like removing the heated alcohol lamp during a chemical experiment, and the reaction is not so violent.

Sugar softens when heated and turns into something like syrup, and the bat-blood "soup" that sits at Honeydukes' door gives the candy that flavor, but it's not whole like a **** lollipop, Just eat the syrup on the surface, and the candy will return to its original taste. It's hard to imagine that Arianna likes this flavor the most. She thought Arianna would prefer to eat the kind of candy that feels harmless.

Pomona was either under the spell of soft legs, or like heated sugar, he felt that he was about to stand upright, and he supported Severus in order to stand still. There were strong muscles under the clothes, and he was not like when he was young So skinny.

   After the kiss was over, they rubbed each other's ears for a while, enjoying the wonderful experience brought by "chemistry".

  Magical creatures live longer than humans, but Pomona himself likes gourmet magic and sleeping, and Felix likes to play music and compose music. These teachers are all surpassed by "rising stars".

   It's just that the prime of life of human beings is very short, and she is very afraid that he is gray-haired, but she still looks like this. The last time they went out like this, people thought they were father and daughter, although Severus looked serious and older than he was.

   "Does it hurt?" he asked in a low voice.

   "It's like being stabbed by a spur." She said softly, "It hurts a bit, but it doesn't feel painful, it's more like excitement."

   He laughed out loud.

   "Why didn't I know you were so good at talking?"

  ‘Because you are not the principal. '

   she whispered in her heart.

   "Go get ready." He let go of his arm around her waist.

   When his back disappeared through the door, she felt that he hadn't lost interest, but was looking forward to a "big meal", and she better not screw it up.

  She looked at the book on the table with nostalgia, but she still wanted to read it.

   "Let's read it when we get back." She said softly, and also left the study.

==================================================== =============

  The young man's flamboyant gimmicks stole the audience from Diboer, and no one was to blame for his recklessness and faux pas.

   Paracelsus is actually a pseudonym, meaning "towards Celsus", Celsus was the author of the medical encyclopedia in ancient Rome. In addition to his achievements in toxicology, the Swiss alchemist Theobas von Hohenheim also made other contributions in other fields. For example, he invented the word "alcohol" and named the element zinc.

  Lavoisier also named oxygen and hydrogen elements. Many years ago, humans have known that water vapor and ice are transformed from liquid water, but no one has analyzed the critical point.

  For example, the boiling temperature of water in high-altitude areas is lower than that in low-altitude areas. At 80 degrees Celsius, high-altitude areas will boil, but low-altitude areas have not yet, so there is a pressure-temperature curve.

Due to the invention of the steam engine, people became interested in the behavior of fluids under high temperature and pressure. Before reaching the boundary of the curve, water is still water. After passing the critical point, that is, at 22 MPa, when heated to 374 degrees, water and gas The difference between water and water no longer exists, that is, a state like water but not water is formed.

Lavoisier proved that this supercritical gas and steam are the same thing, or in other words, when someone opens the valve of the steam engine, there will be a burst of high-temperature steam mixed with liquid. The water is not formed by condensation of steam with water. Even the "water vapor" that people see is small water droplets after steam condensation, similar to fog and clouds, and the fluid in this state has extremely strong oxidizing properties.

   But such temperatures and pressures were unattainable with 18th-century technology. Lavoisier passed water vapor through a red-hot iron pipe. Originally, iron pipes and water vapor reacted very slowly at room temperature, and what was produced was reddish-brown ferric oxide called rust. Lavoisier's experiment obtained black iron ferric oxide in addition to hydrogen and oxygen.

At this time, the phlogiston theory was still the mainstream, but there were still people like Boyle who believed that the "element" should be the simplest and primitive substance, a definite, real, and perceivable object. Affected by it, Wassi listed the table of chemical elements for the first time, and divided 33 substances into gases, metals, nonmetals and metal oxides. The gases include light, heat, and hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen discovered and named by Lavoisier himself.

   But these are not the keys that separate chemistry from alchemy.

Priestley, a member of the British Moonlight Society, once went to Paris to discuss "air that eliminates phlogiston". Both the Moonlight Society as a representative of the Industrial Revolution and Lavoisier as a taxpayer and nobleman have enough money. Measuring equipment is very complex and expensive to design, and even to use it requires specialized personnel to be trained.

  During the manipulation and recording of data, and during the sharing of data between Moonlight Society and researchers in Europe, a common language, metrics and terminology was required, and old words and terminology from alchemy became impossible.

   Therefore, formulating a new, clear and unambiguous "scientific language" has become the direction of their generation's efforts.

   This new set of general standards has been used into the 21st century, as if there is no hatred or war, and a set of international natural philosophers' group organization has been formed. In this system, fire is not an element, not even a substance. Pomona's idea that there are animal spirits attached to Fiendfire to form "quasi-life" is completely delusional.

  Feliwei didn’t say it clearly, but since he supports the conscious body, he doesn’t support Pomona’s theory.

  Severus didn't say it clearly, but he supported the theory of elements, and believed that the guardian spirit was a kind of water magic, and animal spirits were possessed by water elements, so he was in the same group as Pomona.

  Pomona's talent is not like Neville's ability to communicate directly with plants, she just can feel what they need. After strengthening the connection with the "belly button of the forest" through the black vine water, this feeling is more acute. When most people see a vegetable, they don't think it is a "conscious" living body like a cat.

Neville's experiment on whether plants are conscious is continuing. He chose the mimosa as the target. Although the plant has no eyes or nose, it also responds to temperature, humidity, and light. The lotus seeds that have been sleeping for thousands of years can also germinate, but it does not. Encounter the right environment.

  The opposition believes that plants do not have a nervous system and do not have consciousness like animals.

Before Paracelsus, only sulfur and mercury were the sacred elements of alchemy. After Paracelsus added salt, there were three sacred elements, corresponding to the human spirit, soul and body, and introduced the "Trinity". The human body is both the microcosm and the microcosm of the macrocosm. The study of the human body helps to understand the macrocosm, find the commonality among them, and build the harmony between man, nature and the Creator.

She poured the dream potion into the Goblet of Fire, and also made the tinder bush in the maze "drink" the dream potion. If a person is awake, he will always meditate on the consequences of certain things. When he is asleep, his body will not be affected by the will Control, but the huge subconscious hidden under the surface of the sea. But she couldn't be sure whether this consciousness was produced by the Goblet of Fire itself, or it came from "outside", such as gods, devils and other existences in the invisible world.

  The Philosopher’s Stone, the Elixir of Life, and the Elixir of Life together form a triangle. The move to protect Paris is great, but is it necessary to protect Paris, which is full of usurious imperialists?

  Every night, the lights of the Moulin Rouge will be lit, and the well-dressed "gentlemen" will go to see the Cancan dancers with a lot of money. What is the meaning of eternal life for these people who are tired of living with cynical indulgence and luxury, and the recession after the First World War?

That time was a good time for vampires. The vampires on the big screen made the audience feel uneasy and fearful, but also had exciting and exciting associations. According to the needs of the plot, the vampires gradually became mysterious, handsome, with young bodies, able to speak Beautiful lines, and more emotional scenes.

  They have become lonely monsters in the dark night, luring countless hearts longing to warm them, and of course, attracting money in the pockets of many rich people who want to become young again.

  As early as 1749, the wizarding world warned vampires to abide by the International Law of Secrecy, but just like the prodigal son in the story of the prodigal son, why should he obediently give up his freedom when he has money and can enjoy his freedom outside?

  The news was blocked, and Muggles "kept secrets" from each other. This lie was not exposed until around the 1980s. Muggles abandoned them, and vampires turned to the wizarding world to find "equality".

  The father will open his arms to the prodigal son, and other family members may not, but the situation of vampires is still a little better than werewolves.

   Not every mist turns into a storm, and many times they dissipate; but storms do come.

   A war "for the good of the many" is a sure sign that the nation is on the verge of rebellion and commotion. If the poverty and bankruptcy of the upper class combine with the hunger and cold of the lower class, great danger is at hand. For rebellion caused by starvation is the worst.

  Hunger makes man look for food like an animal, ambition is like yellow bile, as a humour, when it is not hindered, it makes a man active, earnest, quick, and active. In some cases, it is necessary to appoint ambitious people. In war, good commanders must be appointed, however ambitious they may be. Their credit makes up for everything. Appointing a soldier without ambition is like ripping off his spurs.

  But those who use ambition will bring great danger if they are not careful. Fenrir is like a dog in front of Voldemort, but secretly plans to form a world ruled by werewolves.

  The movie she watched that day was "The Godfather". There is a line that goes like this:

  A soft heart without boundaries will only make the other party push forward; kindness without principle will only let the other party do whatever they want.

   If possible, Pomona would like Harry to see the show too, since he is Teddy Lupine's godfather after all.

  The godfather allowed people without blood relationship to have a relationship close to kinship, and it was also different from the adoptive father-son relationship between Caesar and Octavian. The establishment of this relationship was established under the witness of non-secular laws.

   This is convenient, but there is one problem.

  Georgianna looks at her guardian Edgeworth, Birmingham's drunks don't just destroy the library, they also loot the homes and farms of "heretics".

  Theories are sometimes just theories. When Ron drank poisonous mead, Slughorn was helpless, or Harry thought of the sheep dung stone in a hurry.

Grindelwald is luckier than Crabbe in that Père Lachaise Cemetery can apparate. If Draco Malfoy doesn't panic and think about it, or if he is lucky, the fire doesn't burn to the location where the disappearing cabinet is, and he You can also come to Bojinbok through the disappearing cabinet with Crabbe and Goyle.

  However, with such a big Room of Response, how can a cabinet be so easy to find?

   It’s easy to say, but what about practice? The fire is burning, how can there be so much time to find it slowly?

  Georgianna looked at the young violinist. In the eyes of some people, high-level positions are to them what the sea is to sailors. This is their great adventure, full of unpredictable tension and excitement. They felt that this was the avenue to an ultimate glorious destiny.

   I don’t know if they have thought about it, maybe they will unfortunately fall into the water halfway and be buried in the belly of the fish. Even the Muggle sailors who were drawn to Azkaban had no peace after death.

   "Tell me about General Bessiere, how much do you know about him?" Georgiana asked Luderer.

   Luderer leaned close to her ear and whispered in the trill of the devil.
