Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 99 "You have a way to die." (Page 12)



An alchemy dummy, as the name suggests, is a structure with a roughly human form created using alchemy.

Like Nick Flamel’s servant.

When fishing, the old man always likes to let him help mix bait, pick up tools, and carry the catch box that is likely to be the same when he comes and when he leaves.

When Nick Flamel made it, he may have considered the "Uncanny Valley" theory, so even if he didn't lack gold galleons, he still couldn't make the alchemy dummy look like a real person.

In fact, with the exception of Nick Flamel, most alchemists also responded to that sentence when making alchemy dummies——

“Ride a bike to the bar, it’s time to save money and time to spend time.”

As long as a sane alchemist is in his right mind, he will not waste precious alchemical materials just to pursue the appearance of his work.

So much so that most of the dummy structures they created through alchemy looked like skeletons made of metal.

The special prisoner brought back by Babajid was this typical alchemy dummy, that is, an iron rib wearing a camouflage uniform.

At this time, in Bourne's eyes, green fluorescence appeared on this guy.

Because there is no Tyranids in the Harry Potter world, Bourne's first reaction to these green-emitting iron ribs is to kill them first.

"do not worry……"

After understanding Bourne's body language, the great alchemist Nick Flamel was a little confused, but he still chose to patiently answer the questions for the children.

The old man even felt a little secretly happy.

Most fishermen who are not good at fishing have their own expertise in other areas.

"...I didn't expect that, little Bourne, you still have some ancient magic weapons. You can consider learning more knowledge in this area in the future.

The alchemy dummy emits green light because four runic characters are now acting on it - Ansuth, which represents mouth and communication; Redo, which represents travel and movement; and Navdiz, which represents travel and movement. Represents needs and relief from difficulties; Pesso represents magic and intuition.

After being trapped, ordinary alchemy dummies will have similar feedback. For example, if the Kabbah alchemy doll you have seen is trapped in the mud under the pond, it will also activate the power of some runes to escape on its own.

The same goes for this alchemy dummy.

However, it is controlled by a magic spell, unlike ordinary physical traps. Although this alchemy dummy can activate four runes at one time, which shows that the person who made it must have put some thought into it, it is still unable to get rid of the magic spell bound to it. "

As he spoke, Nick Flamel stood up. The great alchemist, who looked a little thin and withered, pulled on a pair of silk slippers and walked step by step to the alchemy dummy.

"Actually, if you feel that the green light is a bit dazzling, you only need to press it a few times to stop these runes."

The old man waved to Bourne and called the little wizard to his side, wanting to teach him better through words and deeds (to show off).

"Because there are four runes active, it's best to close them in pairs," Nick Flamel said. "Take out your wand and hold down its belly while I hold down its head."

The great alchemist is ready to demonstrate his knowledge with practical actions.

His wand is made of hazel wood, with a curved branch extending from the handle, and the entire wand presents an abstract "Y" shape.

There is a saying in ancient Europe that Y-shaped hazel branches can be used to identify directions. If someone gets lost in the forest, he can find a "Y" shaped hazel branch and throw it away. Then he can walk out of the woods in the direction pointed by the branch after landing.

"Don't worry, this method will not cause any harm to people, because this is a 'back door' that alchemists are used to leaving on alchemy dummies."

At Nico Flamel's sincere invitation, although Bourne was still a little hesitant, he finally decided to give it a try.

He held the wand with his left hand, and put his right hand into his deformed lizard wallet, and then carefully touched the belly of the "iron ribs"-like alchemy dummy with the wand.

Sure enough, just as Nick Flamel said, the green light inspired by the runic characters gradually disappeared.

"Look, this is-"

Before the great alchemist finished speaking, everyone in the room let out an exclamation.

When the green light was about to disappear completely, Nick Flamel and Bourne, an old man and a young man, together with the alchemy dummy on the ground, seemed to be instantly stuffed into an invisible drum washing machine. They seemed to be spinning rapidly, and then they all disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Portkey!"

"This strange guy is captured...it's a trap in itself!"

-

"That's right!"

A voice exploded in his mind, and the poor Professor Two-Face's head was shocked to the point of pain, but he could not resist.

It's quite uncomfortable.

However, Voldemort didn't care about Quirrell's feelings. He just felt that he had discovered the truth of the matter.

Since the diary in the Gaunt family's old house contains information about the secret room, it may also be written into the work diary of the Department of Mysteries.

Then, the craftsmen of the Department of Mysteries who came to Hogwarts not long ago relied on it to find the Chamber of Secrets and changed its location again.

Of course, Voldemort felt that those people might not have entered the Chamber of Secrets.

Because counting the days, last month was the last month before the basilisk entered hibernation, so the activities of the basilisk would be more frequent.

It needs to capture mice or other small animals in the Hogwarts pipe system in order to reserve some energy for the hibernation period.

Unless one has the blood of Parseltongue and Slytherin, no one can easily control the basilisk that has lived for nearly a thousand years.

Even a fire dragon would probably be poisoned to death if bitten by its fangs. And if he looked at it once, even a great magician like Dumbledore would probably be turned to stone and die on the spot.

When ordinary wizards (even in a group) enter that secret room, they can't do anything else except feed the basilisk.

Therefore, Voldemort guessed that although the group changed the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, they might actually enter the Chamber of Secrets in January or February.

At that time, the basilisk will completely enter hibernation. As long as those people are careful enough, they can probably avoid waking up this terrifying snake king.

"What a bunch of greedy guys." Voldemort cursed secretly.

Even when he was young, he had done many similar things, killing people and seizing treasures (for example, the Hufflepuff descendant Mrs. Hepzibah Smith, the young and handsome Tom used means other than magic to get close to her, Found Hufflepuff's golden cup and then killed her) is even more common.

Moreover, apart from the valuable items left by Lytherin in the secret room that were destroyed by the ruthless years, he had already taken away the rest.

However, ever since he learned about this secret room, Voldemort felt that this secret room was an inheritance that only he was qualified to inherit.
