Chapter 230 Attempting to let you learn alchemy
Macon raised his right hand and snapped his fingers, the entire floating city shook slightly, and the 12 transparent propeller tail flames turned into dazzling gold.
"My God! The floating city is rising, we are flying!"
"It's so cool! It's going up so fast!"
The 12 propellers below the Floating City suddenly burst out with even more dazzling golden light. The diamond-shaped Mach ring swayed in the tail flame, and the flight that broke through the speed of sound did not affect the little wizards on the Floating City at all. Watch the rapidly shrinking castle on the ground.
"We're not going to fly into space, are we?"
"Didn't you notice? With such a rapid ascent, we didn't feel the slightest inertia. Thinking about when we took the elevator, this floating city must have a protection mechanism."
The floating city quickly broke through the thick clouds, and a full moon appeared in front of the little wizard. This scene is really beautiful.
"It's so beautiful, Macon." Hermione looked at the full moon above the clouds, and leaned on him. At this height, even a broomstick can't get up. "You won't really turn the floating city into a spaceship in the end, will you?" ?”
"Of course not, that would be too troublesome." Macon sat on the recliner with her in his arms, holding a little white cat in his arms, quietly admiring the moon, "This semester, you are quite busy. "
"Well, in addition to the work of the prefect, I also have to prepare for the OWLs." Hermione thought for a while, and continued, "What about you? Isn't it a class every day? Based on your personality, it is estimated that you can last for three days at most."
"Do you know me a little too well?" Macon looked at the little witch in his arms in surprise, and hugged her tighter, "It seems that I want to stay away from you."
"Then the way you stay away from me is to strangle me to death?"
"What good things are you thinking about? Becoming a ghost and haunting me?"
"Put your hands away first, and then who is thinking of good things?"
The two little white cats raised their heads to look at the big and round moon in the sky, and they didn't care about their usual bickering, although they didn't understand why they were like this...
At nine o'clock the next morning, the first-year freshmen were crowded at the entrance of the auditorium. They looked at the floating city in the sky and didn't know how to go to class. The students of the Black Cat Academy were very simple, as long as they stood by the wall, there would naturally be Pick them up on the floating platform.
Just when they were hesitating whether to leave and looking for the deans of their respective colleges to solve the problem, a huge suspended step floated from the clouds and mist in the sky and landed steadily in front of them.
The freshmen scrambled up the steps, and the huge platform took them off the ground and came to the floating city.
"This semester, the alchemy class is divided into grades, and there is one class per day. Some students from the Black Cat Academy may have seen the alchemy workshop last night. Students from the outer school don't need to worry. We won't use the alchemy workshop today," Macon said. As they came to the square, tables and chairs were filled in front of the huge cauldron, and he signaled them to do it first, "Alchemy is a very complicated and difficult subject. I don't intend to find a gradual way to teach you, because in the In just seven years, it will take up a lot of your time."
"If the history of magic class is recognized as the most boring class in the wizarding world, then the alchemy class is recognized as the most difficult class. This is a subject that involves multiple levels and fields, such as magic, religion, physics, mathematics, Astronomy, chemistry, medicine, even philosophy and mysticism, etc.," Macon said, and tore a handful of grass from the ground, and the scarlet streaks passed through his hands, and the grass was quickly transformed It became a blackboard and stood on the ground, "Simply put, alchemy is the art of transformation. It can help you transform one thing into another. The difference from transfiguration is that one is permanent, and it can change The nature of the object, and its short existence, change only the shape of the object."
"Then, if you want to use the alchemy array or form an array like me, how should you do it?" Macon turned around and went to the blackboard to write on it, "There are three levels of alchemy transformation, material, Spirit and mind."
"Substance is easy to understand. Whether it is the substance before the transformation or the substance after the transformation, it belongs to this substance." Macon wrote the words before and after the transformation under the substance on the blackboard. "Then what is the spirit? The spirit is also called hidden, In alchemical terms, the impure soul of lead is transformed into an enlightened mind of gold."
"Professor! I have a problem!" A little witch with many freckles raised her hand, and after seeing Macon nod, she continued, "Isn't turning lead into gold one of the essences of alchemy? Turn base metals into precious metals?"
"Oh, it seems that you have some understanding of alchemy, and you are right, but the lead here does not refer to material lead, but to our soul," Macon said with satisfaction when he saw the witch from his own academy. Nodding, "Lead turns into gold, from cheap to expensive, it also means that our mind changes from impure to pure. This is just a process. The most important thing is later. What is an enlightened mind?"
"It not only refines the lower parts of oneself, such as negative things such as fear, doubt, and self-hatred, but also reveals the truest and nascent self, so as to achieve the state of Nirvana,"
"Spirituality means self-alchemy?" The little freckled witch stood up abruptly and exclaimed.
"You are very good. You are right. It is self-alchemy, also called spiritual alchemy," Macon said, motioning for her to sit down quickly, then turned around and wrote self-alchemy under the spirit on the blackboard, "then we have the last A mind."
"The mind is also similar to self-alchemy, but it is different from self-alchemy. To put it simply, it can be understood as self-hypnosis, which slowly turns the mind into a friendly, willing to accept new things, full of ideas to constantly explore new mysteries."
"Professor, the matter and the mind are easy to improve, what should the spirit do?"
After Macon wrote the change of mind under his mind on the blackboard, he looked back, and this time it was a different little wizard, a handsome little wizard with black shawl hair, which reminded him of Snape .His question can be said to hit the nail on the head, and he directly asked the point. Yes, he is still a student of his own academy!
"That's exactly what I'm going to talk about next," Macon wrote on the blackboard with a slight smile.
Four Aspects of Symbolic Meditation:
Level of Spiritual Being - Pure Conscious Being
Astral body - the energy flow of the spirit
Ether - intertwined life force
Body—a symbol visible outside itself
···
After one alchemy class, most of the first-year students are numb and full of question marks. The little wizards of the Black Cat Academy are okay. There is the little freckled witch and the handsome black-haired guy from just now. If you don’t understand, you can ask. Others The students from the four colleges didn't know how to get back to the castle with their notebooks. They could only go back and read the "Introduction to Alchemy" written by Macon.
The homework for this alchemy class is even more mysterious. They are asked to practice symbolic meditation when they go back, and their progress will be checked after class next Monday.
In the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Umbridge received a reply from Fudge, and she hurriedly opened the envelope and read it carefully.

After reading it, Umbridge picked up Fudge's photo frame on the desk, pressed the letter on the table, smashed it into pieces, and resentment was constantly brewing in her eyes.
