Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy - Chapter 472
c366 Shadow of Ghroth
February passed by unconsciously, and March is here.
Wright was busy going in and out of various high-level alchemist exchange venues all day long. With his excellent performance in the first game and the endorsement of the great Nicolas Flamel behind him, his alchemy level has been confirmed by the international alchemist conference. Most alchemists know about it.
Unfortunately, due to his age, most alchemists did not believe that Wright had enough theoretical experience to teach others, and therefore almost never invited him to give lectures. On the contrary, at some more important or cutting-edge alchemical research conferences, the alchemists who hosted them would hand over an invitation letter, in order for Wright to come to attend the lectures, or to participate in the discussions.
This situation was exactly what Wright wanted.
As Nicolas Flamel said at the time, this world-wide alchemy conference indeed greatly opened Wright’s eyes. Here, he was no longer like in school where he could only repeat the knowledge he already understood every day, nor was he like in Nicoléme, where he could only listen to the teachings of a master and accept his own experience.
During more than three months in Crimson Square, Wright was exposed to colorful and different forms of alchemical knowledge from all over the world every day. The alchemical concepts of some countries pay attention to exquisite steps. They believe that alchemy is a process that is perfected through death and resurrection. The alchemical concepts of some countries insist on being people-oriented, in order to achieve immortality and restore elixirs to immortality. Others nation……
All kinds of rich knowledge collided every day in various exchange venues among alchemists. Wright wished he could create a magic that could be used to clone himself, or he could get a time prop, but that was just a wishful thinking.
All Wright could do was to try to attend important enough knowledge lectures every day, and then record some other less important communication scenes with photo stones, and browse them again when he returned to the tent.
It can be said that in the past three months in Egypt, Wright felt that his alchemy level had grown the fastest, and his experience in making alchemical items also improved by leaps and bounds.
What he didn’t have time to explain to Chang Chu at that time was the brand new magic item he had refined in the first competition.
At that time, considering that it was the first time that he had appeared in front of wizards from all over the world, and out of some indescribable arrogance (actually, he was a coward), Wright relied directly on his unique shadow energy to creatively refine a new alchemical items.
And named it: Shadow of Ghroth.
From the outside, it looks like a dark brown translucent sphere. The outer shell is covered with various mysterious and primitive magic symbols, which tightly locks the liquid shadow flowing inside.
In the middle of the dark brown sphere, there is a scarlet one-eye standing out of thin air, standing on the liquid shadow fluid. No matter which direction you look, people will find that he can never escape the gaze of this scarlet one-eye. .
In terms of the appearance design of the object, Wright partially referred to the fifth volume of the “Revelation of Glaaki”, which contains the description of the outer god Gherroth.
However, although it looks eerie and full of darkness and chaos, in fact, the shadow of Ghroth is not a black magic item.
To be precise, Ghroth’s Shadow is a powerful black magic detector optimized by Wright, and borrows many ideas from the Looking Glass.
After the shadow of Ghroth is activated by the holder, it will automatically detect people within ten meters who are malicious to the user, and the scarlet one-eye will look directly at the wizard who is malicious.
Of course, Wright wouldn’t mind adding some other offensive features to Gherroth’s shadow.
For example, if the malicious wizard is really short-sighted and does not even have time to notice that he has been exposed, the scarlet one-eye in the shadow of Gherroth will instantly release a powerful fear spell on that person. Awakening the most terrifying memories in his heart and completely disrupting his mind.
However, Wright hasn’t had time to add these later functions, because he has been so busy these days that he can’t even care about upgrading this alchemy item, which is not very powerful in the first place. But just the previous functions were enough to make the magic prop manufacturers who came to watch the game ecstatic.
At almost every International Alchemy Conference, the happiest people are not the alchemists who finally hold the trophy and win the crown, but the shrewd magic props manufacturers in the audience. —from a participating alchemist in the 1650s.
As we all know, the most popular malicious detector in the world is the “looking glass”. This prop will automatically detect whether there are suspicious people around. Whenever someone like that is present, the looking glass lights up, spins, and whistles loudly.
In a world full of weirdness and unknowns like the Wizarding World, the Looking Glass is almost one of the best-selling magical items. Even some parents do not allow their children to buy Quidditch models, but they allow them to keep them. There is a pocket speculum.
However, the effect of the looking glass may be very helpful to some users, but it is quite fatal to those wizards who are performing some ulterior missions. For example, when an Auror is chasing a prisoner, he may face the dilemma of seeing the prisoner’s location, but the pocket spyglass he carries makes a sharp sound that scares the prisoner away.
It has to be said that what pleased the magic prop manufacturers the most at this conference was such a mature black magic detector.
And look at the name “Shadow of Gherroth”. It sounds much more advanced than “Looking Glass”. In this case, it would be natural if the price is set higher.
Although Wright has only produced a prototype of Gherroth’s shadow, which is similar to an experimental product, and is still far away from taking it directly to the market and commercializing it, this does not hinder the manufacturers of magic props. I was optimistic about this product and signed some patent purchase and authorized production agreements with Wright with my checkbook in hand.
Although he still had quite a lot of pure gold in his pocket, Wright didn’t want to refuse the money that came to his door, so he signed contracts with the manufacturers readily.
In addition, although Gherroth’s Shadow uses a lot of Wright’s unique shadow energy, there are alternative energy sources in the magical world. Those manufacturers can also take this opportunity to give Gherroth’s Shadow a new look. , or in other words, put on a new skin and sell it, which is another wave of profit.
The core remains unchanged, the appearance is changed, and the price increases again. It can be said that everyone is happy.
However, compared to the increasingly busy Wright, Hogwarts remained as peaceful as ever, mixed with some undercurrents.
Harry’s Marauder’s Map, which he originally obtained from the twins, has once again returned to its original owner, but Lupine still has not told the son of his old friend the story of their past; Hagrid lost the lawsuit, and if nothing else happens, Buckbeak will soon be in Six She was executed by the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Animals in March; Hermione could no longer endure the uncertain Divination class, or it could be said that Trelawney, who couldn’t stand the godly manners, unilaterally dropped out of the class.
As for Chang Chu?
She trained her flying skills crazily on the Quidditch field, on the one hand, to ensure that she would win this year’s Quidditch Cup; on the other hand, she needed to use the fatigue after such crazy training to suppress her hatred for a certain person. A feeling of longing for a guy far away in Egypt.
Just like that, Easter has arrived.
