Chapter 834: The God Thoth and the Double Snake Scepter
In the stone room deep underground, all the words on the Emerald Tablet were floating around Evan.
Zoser looked at all this in shock, and gradually held his breath, wondering what Evan had done to cause such a big movement.
He had studied the Emerald Tablet countless times, and he could be sure that there was no magical power on this emerald slab. Only the words on it were the basis of Alchemy. The body of the Emerald Tablet was made of ordinary jade.
But what was happening before him overturned his previous conclusions and subverted his worldview.
The Emerald Tablet itself was a well-deserved legendary magical item with special powers. This human boy was doing wonders.
The pocket watch in Zosers hand fell to the ground, and he ignored it, just staring at Evan in a daze.
He was suddenly glad that he had followed him. This was more meaningful than studying those cultural relics.
The magical power emerging from the tablet was not particularly strong, but it was very strange. Zoser looked at it greedily with his eyes wide open.
It suddenly occurred to him that if he could figure out the secret, this might become a huge archaeological discovery that would shake the Wizarding World.
Of course, Zoser didnt really care about this. What he needed was gold and endless wealth.
Alchemists were the wealthiest people. He had heard more than once about the legend of Nicolas Flamel, knowing that he possessed the Philosophers Stone to turn lead into gold.
Gold that was what all goblins dreamed of that was their lifelong pursuit.
After Flamel and Dumbledore had announced that they would destroy the Philosophers Stone two years ago, he regretted it for a long time.
When he knew that Evan was introduced by Nicolas Flamel, he secretly paid attention, did not agree to his request, and deliberately approached him.
He once had a glimmer of hope, thinking that he might obtain the secret of the Philosophers Stone from Evan.
In fact, he was really disappointed when he saw that Evan was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old kid, thinking he was wasting time.
How could a fifteen-year-old wizard know how to make a Philosophers Stone? It was simply absurd.
Seeing what was happening in front of him, Zoser suddenly became elated.
He had long known that the secret of making a Philosophers Stone was hidden in the Emerald Tablet, but looking at it over and over again hed found nothing but those useless words, which had no meaning at all.
From the current situation, Evan should know this secret
At this moment, Evan, who was in the green haze, entered a strange state.
With the chanting of the first incantation in The Book of Abraham, one after another ancient words appeared in his mind.
Incomprehensible ancient hieroglyphics surrounded him, yet Evan could grasp the meaning they represented.
Tis true without lying, certain and most true.
The deep voice sounded slowly. The meaning of this sentence was, This is the truth of everything in the world, without the slightest falsehood, it is the most conclusive truth.
That which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below to do the miracle of one only thing. The meaning of this sentence was, If you want to make the miracle of the only thing, you must understand that the things in the upper world are the same as those in the lower world, and things in the lower realm are no different from the upper realm.
And as all things have been and arose from one by the mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation.
The meaning of this sentence was, The one and only Creator created all things, so all things were born from this same source.
Deep voices continued to sound, endless. These were the foundations of Alchemy that Evan had learned before.
Like the hieroglyphs in front of him, this voice was not a language he was familiar with, but Evan was able to understand the meaning.
Immediately afterwards, Evan heard clearly that it was his own voice, but it became deep and hoarse.
He was chanting the first incantation of The Book of Abraham, but the language had changed into the words recorded in the Emerald Tablet.
As the voice sounded, these words floated from the Emerald Tablet and entered his mind.
It was an ancient prose, but it was naturally replaced with sentences that Evan could understand.
The Sun is its father,
the moon its mother,
the wind hath carried it in its belly,
the earth is its nurse.
The father of all perfection in the whole world is here.
Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth.
Separate thou the earth from the fire,
the subtle from the gross
sweetly with great industry.
It ascends from the earth to the heaven
and again it descends to the earth
and receives the force of things superior and inferior.
By this means you shall have the glory of the whole world
and thereby all obscurity shall fly from you.
Its force is above all force,
for it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing.
So was the world created.
From this are and do come admirable adaptations
where of the means is here in this.
Hence I am called Hermes Trismegist,
having the three parts of the philosophy of the whole world
That which I have said of the operation of the Sun is accomplished and ended.
When the last word was finished, the old words glowing green light in front of Evan started to move again.
They all merged together, constantly changing like a cloud of smoke, and the image of a man gradually appeared.
This was a very young man with dark skin, winged flying shoes on his feet, and a short-sleeved tunic.
He had a crescent crown and a crested ibis on its head, and above it was a huge full moon disk, which exuded strange power.
Thoth God! murmured Evan, who had seen the image of this ancient god on the rock walls of many ruins.
He was the most important deity of ancient Egypt, the god of wisdom, the writer of the Hades, and the writer of the Emerald Tablet and the Black Book of the Dead.
He could appear in all major occasions.
The first mantra of The Book of Abraham was just halfway through, and Evan didnt stop. He chanted while looking at the vague figure.
In the end, Evans gaze finally fell on what he was holding in his hand, and it looked familiar.
This was a scepter entwined by two pythons, which Evan had seen in Slytherins hand before.
It was also sealed in the remains of the evil god related to Slytherin, and also appeared on the front page of the second chapter of The Book of Abraham
Nicolas Flamel had once told Evan that this scepter was the key to unlocking the secret of The Book of Abraham. Unfortunately, he had been searching for it for more than 600 years, but he did not find it. Evan knew that its last owner was Salazar Slytherin.
When the double snake scepter appeared, everything seemed to be connected, Alchemy, the Philosophers Stone, the treasure of the Four Founders, the gods and Titans of the void.
The clues were getting clearer and clearer, but there was still a lack of a strong thread to connect them
Perhaps it was Evan himself who could connect all this and unlock all the secrets.
