Chapter 173 Flesh and Blood of Hatred
"I can already confirm that they are the lunatics from the Church of the Dead."
Nico Flamel borrowed a dagger from a soldier next to him and gently scraped a piece of dried flesh off the wall.
"Flesh and blood symbolizes the most primitive desires. The founders of the Necronomicon Cult believed that human beings can never live without their own desires, so they made flesh and blood their original totem."
"Originally, this church was built by a group of philosophers who devoted themselves to studying the limits of human beings thousands of years ago. However, they eventually lost their way in the pursuit of power and became as disgusting as they are now"...
Nico Flamel sighed. In his time, the Necromancer was still a kind of good and evil existence, but now everyone is shouting about it.
"Then what exactly does this magic circle summon?"
Xu Lin raised her feet and looked at the rotten wooden boards next to her. The wooden boards that had been corroded by flesh and blood turned into powder under the hard kick of military boots, revealing the dense dark red lines underneath.
"If I guess correctly, what those madmen want to summon should be Tartarus, the abyss of hell in Greek mythology."
Nico Flamel walked to the broken wooden board, squatted down, grabbed a handful of dust with his hand, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.
"Things in the abyss can return to the ground through the Door of Death, but the door has limited transport capacity and weak endurance, so usually we can only see things with no attack power like evil spirits, but the truly terrifying ones Everything has been trapped in the abyss forever."
"But alchemy is magical. This magic circle should be able to temporarily increase the stability of the Door of Death and allow some powerful things to escape from it. For example, what you encountered this time is the abomination that symbolizes gluttony among the seven deadly sins." .
"Please don't look at me with doubtful eyes. The original solution of hatred is just a medicine in forbidden alchemy. Without the support of godhead, no matter how powerful the undead creature is, it is still very fragile."
Nico Flamel looked at the two people looking at him with strange eyes, so he explained.
"Ordinary undead creatures are afraid of the sun, but if they are blessed by the abyss or the god of death, they can walk freely under the sun and spread the evil from hell to all parts of the world."
"However, flames can still cause huge harm to them, and the same is true for the ultraviolet light bulbs developed by China."
Xu Lin said.
"Simulating sunlight is indeed a good method. Even if the undead creatures will not be burned to death by the sunlight, hopefully they will be greatly affected."
Nico Flamel nodded, and then continued:
"But it's very difficult to transport the original liquid of hatred here. I seriously doubt your side"...
"There will always be some people who do things that are reviled by others. We have already dealt with this matter, so Mr. Nico Flamel doesn't have to worry about it."
Xu Lin interrupted Nico Flamel.
"You two, please rest for a day. Looking at the things here for a long time will have an impact on people's spirits. Shenzhou has prepared the room. By tomorrow, the staff of Shenzhou 301 Hospital will discuss it with you."
Xu Lin said very politely, then stretched out her arm and pointed in the direction of the corridor.
"Okay, but do you mind if we two old men take a walk on the street? I haven't been to China in a long time."
Dumbledore asked with a smile.
"This is a subsidy provided by China for you two. You should know how to use currency in the secular world, right?"
Xu Lin handed Dumbledore a brown paper envelope and asked with some uncertainty.
This is a common problem in the British wizarding community. Even Arthur Weasley, who is closest to Muggles, has no idea how to use Muggle currency.
"I think you are overly worried, Ms. Xu Lin. We old bones are more familiar with the Muggle world than those young people."
Nico Flamel smiled and said:
"Especially for me. I have lived for so many years. If I don't know how to get along with Muggles normally, my life will really be in vain."
"Then I'll send you two off."
"It's time to work."
…………
"Well, I haven't eaten this for a long time."
Dumbledore, who spoke fluent Chinese, took two bunches of candied haws from the street vendor, and then handed one of them to Nico Flamel.
"I haven't had it for a long time. The last time I came here was on the eve of the war. It has been 60 years since the war ended."...
Nico Flamel said with great sigh, and then bit off a hawthorn.
"The scene here is still the same as it was decades ago, but some things have disappeared, but most of the things that have disappeared are things that I couldn't understand back then"...
Nico Flamel and Dumbledore held the hawthorn skewers in their hands and walked slowly along the street.
"A magical place, isn't it?"
Dumbledore said softly.
"I see the true ideal here - wizards can freely live in seclusion among Muggles, and they will not look at their fellow humans like animals every day."
Nico Flamel said with great emotion.
"This is determined by the initial social development. In ancient times, wizards in China had a very high social status. They insisted that ability and responsibility match each other. Since they have abilities beyond ordinary people, they must help more people. Many people".
Dumbledore ate the last hawthorn, smacked his lips with regret, and then threw the sign into the trash can next to him.
"And I suspect that there is some kind of high-ranking godhead in China. This god will erase anything that does not conform to the rules from the land of China. There is a legend among their Muggle folk that if a dark wizard kills too many people, he will walk in the sky during the day. People get struck by lightning on the road, and from what I understand, that seems to be a fact.”
Nico Flamel also answered.
"I don't know if it's a good thing for them to be too close to Muggles, but I did see that they developed from a weak body to what they are today in less than 50 years." .
When Dumbledore said this, he seemed to be thinking of someone. Strictly speaking, that person was the first person to have the courage to resist the wizard and hide in the shadows. Unfortunately, he failed, so he could only be imprisoned in the cold high altitude. On the tower.
But strictly speaking, his philosophy is completely different from that of China.
Grindelwald believed that Muggles should be subordinate to wizards, and wizards were the masters of the world.
China, on the other hand, still adheres to the concept of equality for all and has been working towards it for decades.
Moreover, this scientific approach is feasible, and China has achieved certain achievements in combining science and magic in many fields.
For example, trauma potions with healing potions added, or some talismans that can play an excellent protective role on the battlefield.
There is also China's top alchemy facility - Reality Anchor.
This thing is still classified as top secret, but maybe one day, this expensive device costing more than 3 million US dollars will complete its mission perfectly.
