my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 104 If there is one, there are two!
  Wang Shui is very interested in the space magic in the world of Harry Potter.

The magic system of the main world is the foundation of magic science.

They are rigorous and orderly, with a very scientific learning and verification process.

Maybe spells of different genres and different attributes have different performance characteristics, but they are essentially models of certain attribute energy.

However, the main world also has two exception types, time and space.

These two types of spells are not only few, but also strictly managed.

Time has no corresponding energy. The few spells with time characteristics are more macroscopic manifestations under the influence of other factors.

For example, the acceleration of time in a fantasy world is actually a manifestation of the virtual world deduced by high computing power and the energy of the soul.

Space has corresponding space energy, but with the research on space energy and the continuous development of magic, the early space magic system has been subverted by "knowledge".

The more powerful the space mages are and the more they understand space, the less able they are to position themselves.

After that, the [Space Cipher Text] appeared.

It is the technique of writing [true name] in real space as an anchor point, the origin of coordinates in countless spaces, and even an important reference for interstellar navigation.

Only by having your own secret text can you never get lost in the space of all realms.

As for [True Name], it's even simpler. It refers to each person's unique soul signature code, or the product of converting this fluctuation into words.

Everyone has a real name, but not everyone has access to space ciphertext.

That requires space talent, complicated learning, and the recognition of various organizations in the universe.

Yes, with the cipher text, you can safely travel through space at will, but registering the cipher text itself is also a shackles for space mages by major civilizations.

Space abilities, mental interference abilities, devouring substitution abilities...many dangerous abilities are under the control of big forces.

Wang Shui is very interested in [Apparition], mainly because it does not require cipher text and the restrictions are not complicated.

I just don’t know if positioning can still be used without the secret text after returning to the main world.

Speaking of which, Wang Shui has been using the space spells brought by secret cards, but these secret cards are not only extremely rare and expensive, but also very inflexible.

If it's just teleportation and phase shift, it's far from being called a space mage.

Now that Wang Shui has some free time, his interest in local magic can no longer be suppressed.

Knowledge is not free, and Wang Shui only has money from the Muggle world and is going to Gringotts.

A few months have passed now, and the preparations made before should be ready for use.

Wang Shui did not inform Sylvia and her sisters. He believed that what happened next was not an adventure.

The mind controlled the opening of the [Secret Card Book: The End of the Journey], and a translucent card book appeared in the field of vision that only Wang Shui could see.

This extraordinary item is a special type that is directly equipped to the soul.

It's not because Aqua Regia's card book is too precious that it has this characteristic, the same is true for cheap card books.

A large number of cards rolled over, and with Wang Shui's deliberate search, a slightly lighter secret card moved in front of Wang Shui——

[Boundary Splitting Twins·Master] (Spell Card·Limited)
  Only one secret card with a limited mark can be placed in the deck, and there is no spare card in the Aqua Regia deck.

Wang Shui stretched out his right hand in the air, and this somewhat illusory card gradually appeared on his fingertips.

The effect of the card is to split into a derivative sub-card. When activated again, the main card will safely teleport the user to a space that can accommodate the user within three meters of the sub-card.

He has used this card before.

When the Gloria family members stole the extraordinary engine before, he relied on Sylvia to bring this card to the assembly point and ambush them in advance.

Teleporting to unknown areas has always been a big problem for spatial abilities. Because of this powerful ability, this card is limited to only one card.

Now, the card on Mariner Wang's hand is in an illusory state, indicating that it is being activated. As for the sub-card, he has already sandwiched it in a Muggle book and deposited it in Gringotts' shallow vault.

Gringotts has restrictions on [Apparition], but they don't seem to have thought about this kind of space method from other worlds.

At least the card in Wang Shui's hand is glowing, which means he can activate it at any time.

In the original work, Gringotts' deep vaults were tightly guarded, with nothing more than special vault doors, magic items, and ferocious magical animals.

For shallower vaults, even just one key is needed to access them.

Obviously, the goblins thought they had sufficient restrictions on space movement, so they paid more attention to protecting the passages, such as fire dragon guards, anti-thief waterfalls and honesty detectors.

So as long as you don't enter from the front, these methods are useless.

However, out of caution, Wang Shui first entered the "phase invisibility" state before initiating the teleportation.

The transmission of the limited card was very stable, but after a slight erratic feeling, Shui Wang came to a dark room.

He picked up the [Anchor Point Recall] secret card, ready to escape at any time, and then slowly released the phase invisibility.

Fortunately, there were no sirens or special magic fluctuations.

Returning to the real phase, Wang Shui could clearly sense the dense magical energy nearby, those alchemical devices, those traps, and a large number of magic items.

The fluctuations here suffocated him, and even the stones building the walls of the underground vault were protected by magic spells.

A small ball of light appeared on Wang Shui's shoulder. This was summoned by him using the alchemy ring as a medium and the spell of the main world.

The light illuminated the small room, revealing the face he had pinched of Voldemort.

There was no surveillance here, or even any Muggle gadgets, but he wasn't sure if there was magic that could retrace the images.

The small stone brick vault is only six or seven square meters. Wang Shui's large tome and miscellaneous books are placed on a small stone platform, and the derivative sub-cards sandwiched in it have disappeared.

Wang Shui began to check here.

The doors of ordinary vaults are also ordinary, with complex lock mechanisms and alchemy devices to verify the keys, but there are no special anti-theft measures.

Aqua Regia breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to sense the gold nearby.

The magic currency "Gallons" cast by fairies is not pure gold. It is much darker than pure gold, but the gold content is still quite high.

Its value mainly lies in the credibility and anti-counterfeiting methods of Wizard Bank.

Wang Shui once again used the combination of [Real World Wandering·Downgrade] and [Phase Shift·Half]. The former allowed him to become invisible, and the latter allowed him to stay away from the real world and gain the ability to walk through walls by concentrating.

It is also possible to penetrate below the feet, but Aqua regia is not in a hurry, he wants to wander around in the shallow layer first.

Shallow treasury basically does not have much wealth.

The most that Aqua Regia has seen is only a few hundred galleons, but there are many gems containing magical energy, as well as some extraordinary materials that are difficult to deteriorate.

Apart from these things whose value can be seen at a glance, the rest are books, clothing, magic items (natural, not alchemical creations) and the like.

Of these things, only books are worth reading.

Wang Shui did not touch the property in the shallow vault. He did not want to be exposed in this place. There were more suitable targets below.

Wang Shui did not choose to cross the floor blindly, but came to the deep passage outside the vault. With his dexterity, he followed the underground passage and sneaked into the sixth floor invisibly.

The vaults here are sorted starting with the number 6.

This was still a shallow vault, the last level of the shallow vault, but Wang Shui sensed a large number of gold coins nearby.

Harry's parents left him a small fortune, which seems to be on this level.

Wang Shui couldn't remember the vault number. He only remembered the key item [Magic Stone] in the first novel. That warehouse was——

【713】

Wang Shui went down one level again, and the vault door here began to look completely different. The complex energy reaction above shouted danger to Shui Wang.

But, the walls are still those walls.

These magically enhanced stone brick walls prevent physical destruction, but they cannot stop aqua regia from leaving reality.

In fact, that gate shouldn't be able to stop Shui Wang, but Shui Wang didn't want to do this test. Wang Shui entered vault No. 713 along the wall. Under the newly summoned light source, he saw the small cloth bag and opened it.

The Philosopher's Stone, or the Philosopher's Stone in this world, was displayed in front of Wang Shui.

It can turn any metal into gold and can also create elixirs of life.

Wang Shui silently examined the dark red stone, and then took out a Philosopher's Stone he made for comparison.

These are obviously two things, their properties are completely different, but their functions are similar.

The Philosopher's Stone that Aqua Regia brought from the steel world no longer has the ability to replace any material, but it can provide powerful soul energy, allowing Aqua Regia to drive any alchemy he knows.

Especially the super alchemy under the influence of [Gate of Truth].

Otherwise, the current second-level level of aqua regia would not be able to support the consumption of artificial humans.

In the world of steel refining, Aqua Regia could use the Philosopher's Stone to refine gold out of thin air, but this was a very losing business.

And in this wizarding world, this is obviously the case.

The Philosopher's Stone, which can make the elixir of life, should not have been used by its maker to produce gold - Aqua Regia noticed the gap in the Philosopher's Stone.

Its maker [Nicola Flamel] seemed to have filed off part of the dark red stone.

This is most likely the consumption of making the elixir of life.

Compared to using the Philosopher's Stone as an energy source in the Steel World, here it seems more reasonable to file the stone into materials and then refine the potion.

Wang Shui didn't know how to make this dark red philosopher's stone, but he wanted to know and was confident that he could learn it.

However, it is impossible to take it away directly, as the plot of the first part requires it.

This world will develop according to the known plot, which will be helpful to everyone involved in the proxy war, so everyone has acquiesced that they will not mess around.

Wang Shui didn't want the plot to become a mess. He needed a controllable environment to give him time and space to do research.

However, the thief will not go short. Now that you have it, you can’t cut it too much, right?
  The fingertips of aqua regia bloom with clean brilliance of black and white.

The dark red Philosopher's Stone is not particularly strong, and is even a bit brittle.

Aqua Regia easily cut off one-tenth, well, maybe one-eighth, which was basically enough for his research.

Speaking of which, alchemy is not particularly developed in this world.

Knowledge about the Philosopher's Stone is not taboo. Wang Shui hopes that this small part of the stone can help him master the refining method of this new type of Philosopher's Stone.

After restoring the packet, Aqua Regia walked to the vault next door. He didn't care whether the missing part would alert Dumbledore.

As long as Voldemort hadn't recovered his body prematurely, Dumbledore probably wouldn't have reacted too violently.

The most powerful wizard of this century shouldn't be able to go back more than half a year to find aqua regia, right?
  Compared to the empty vault where the magic stone was stored, the vault next door was much more crowded.

A large number of gold galleons were piled on a huge pallet on the ground, surrounded by shelves and some miscellaneous items such as matches, but the energy fluctuations told Aqua Regia that these were magic items.

Aqua regia only needs money.

He can't even use his own strength, and too many tools will only make him more messy.

And if you take away those obvious items, you are likely to be discovered—Aqua Regia is not a one-time deal.

Opening his personal space, Aqua Regia poured out two thousand fake gold galleons.

He made it out of wood in advance and then used an alchemical array to adjust the weight and texture.

If you don't pinch it hard, it looks quite similar to the real Golden Galleons.

Aqua Regia let the gold Galleons in the tray float, and then pressed the fake coins underneath. In order to prevent the deformation of the coins, some stacking skills were required.

Then, he got back two thousand real gold coins.

This is not a small amount of money, but it is really not much compared to the tens of thousands of gold coins on the ground.

Wang Shui prepared a total of [-] fake gold coins, but he was not going to stare at a treasury to collect them.

So, I'm quite busy today.

……

……

When Shui Wang returned to the room above the laboratory, it was already late at night.

After leaving the underground vault of Gringotts, he went directly to Diagon Alley outside.

There is no particularly active nightlife in Diagon Alley late at night. Most wizards are quite traditional and live an enviable slow-paced life.

However, there are still many good things in Knockturn Alley.

Wang Shui bought many notes, many notes of powerful wizards, and some books that were prohibited from being sold to the public, such as the "Book of Spells".

This book is almost a manuscript, and the content is not complete. If you want to see the original version, you probably have to go to the restricted area of ​​​​Hogwarts.

Although he didn't know how strong Albus Dumbledore was, Wang Shui didn't want to face the old man who was proficient in [Legilimency] at all.

At least not now, there seems to be no knowledge about [Occlumency] on the market.

Among this harvest, what makes Wang Shui most happy is the information about [Apparition].

Although this magic is also very dangerous and requires special education, it is not taboo. Wang Shui easily found the standard tutorial and found two research notes that mentioned this magic.

There is not much development of [Apparition] in the notes, but some key points are mentioned, such as the most basic 3D principles——

Destination;
  Determination;
  Deliberation.

For novice wizards, these points are still a bit difficult, but for aqua regia it is too simple.

He has a special confidence in the knowledge he has learned.

Although it has been less than a year since he became a transcendent and a spell caster, Wang Shui is already able to think and edit spells very calmly.

Moreover, the magic in the wizarding world is relatively... idealistic? This description should be more appropriate.

It doesn't require you to understand how magic works, as long as you learn the standard spell-casting process, supplemented by calmness and confidence.

It is not difficult.

Wang Shui picked up the short stick-like staff on the table and whispered:
  【Disapparate】(Disapparate)

Under the guidance of magical power, Aqua Regia turned his body unconsciously.

Then he felt his body being compressed and stretched, and the scene in front of him was distorted. His whole body seemed to be stuffed into a narrow tube, and magical power was squeezing him forward.

Finally, there was a feeling of relief. After regaining consciousness for a moment, Aqua Regia appeared in the center of the laboratory.

Successful.

Although it felt bad, Aqua regia did not feel dizzy, but the temporary squeezing made him very uncomfortable.

The notes describe [Transformation] and [Appearance] separately, and the spell also has two paragraphs, but the magic as a whole is coherent.

Wang Shui even felt that he had not finished reciting the magic spell before achieving the desired effect.

Then he thought of a joking sentence in his notes:
  "I think it's not just me, but for most wizards, Apparition will be the first silent spell they master."

Indeed, this spell requires careful recall of the destination, which instead relaxes the spell part.

After a slight burst of air, Aqua Regia disappeared and he returned to the room upstairs.

This was his second release, and he no longer had to recite the incantation.

　The beginning is not verbose, in fact it is broken out of context and connected to the end of the previous chapter...

　　I try to compensate...
