MTL - Hogwarts Card System-Chapter 112 Strong hype
Chapter 112 Strong hype
For a few days, Ted tried many times to make magic items, but the results were mediocre.
Magic items are different from items that temporarily apply magic, and are items that maintain the magical effect for a long time.
For example, in the original book, there is a teapot that bites someone’s nose. You leave that thing in a corner for a few years, and then pick it up and bite your nose like it is.
Another example is that in the original book, Malfoy was instructed by Voldemort to assassinate Dumbledore. He once got an opal necklace with a curse in Bojinbok's shop.
Whoever touches this thing will suffer a fatal curse in an instant. Even in the past decades or hundreds of years, the curse on this necklace will still not dissipate.
The things Ted made before were just to apply magic to the item, and let it have magic for a short time. In a few hours, at most a few days, it will completely fail.
Now what Ted wants to make is that kind of long-lasting magic item, which involves many fields, the most important one is alchemy.
However, this craft is not that simple. Even though Ted already has a level of lv2, he is still hovering at the entry stage only by self-study.
This skill appeared too early, and it may have appeared at the same time as magic. Until today, the fields and depths involved in alchemy have been beyond description.
Even if someone teaches, I am afraid that he can only work hard in a certain subdivision field, let alone a layman like Ted who can only explore by himself.
He actually made a few light-emitting glass beads, a rope that can automatically bind people and other gadgets, but the effect is not great.
He also tried to make spiritual ashes, that is, [How to make the ashes of stray wolves (green)], something unique to the world of the old head ring.
but failed.
But because there is a full set of knowledge in my mind, the failure is only because the technique is not in place. As long as I try a few times, a dozen times, or dozens of times, I will always succeed.
Ted also tried to copy magic scrolls. However, it is not that simple.
After working for several days, only the simplest fluorescent spell succeeded.
Scrolls are actually of little use to wizards.
Spellcasters in the DND world use magic nets to cast spells, or similar talents to cast spells, and the number of spells per day is limited.
So they have the magic scroll as backup to deal with emergencies.
But wizards in the magic world are not subject to that restriction, and casting spells is also simple. Even using a magic wand is much easier than tearing a scroll.
At most, it will be used in special circumstances, such as when the wand is taken away. But there are still more suitable wandless casting techniques.
But Ted also discovered a feature, the magic scroll can be used by anyone with magic power.
Even Ansu can tear open a scroll to trigger magic.
That is to say, some magical creatures or squibs can also use magic scrolls.
When Ted was still copying the scrolls, he discovered a new magic material-diving deep-sea squid ink.
This thing is a material for many magic contracts or writing magic books, and some people use it to paint. It is a good carrier of magic power, which can combine magic power well and last for a long time.
This is also the reason why many high-level magic books are so precious, because they contain magic power, they cannot be printed, they can only be written by hand.
…
The time soon came to August 10th, and a letter came from Hogwarts.
Ted took it apart and saw that it was a second grade textbook list.
In addition to "Standard Spells, Level 2" by Miranda Gosack, all are books by Gilderoy Lockhart, a total of seven books.
Ted has been prostitution in bookstores all the time, so he naturally knows that Lockhart's books have been very popular in recent years, especially this year's new book, and it is said that there will be book signings.
This is a bestseller, or a best-selling novel, which is more expensive than ordinary textbooks.
When Ted thought that the Weasleys would buy 5 sets and 35 copies, the Weasleys probably turned green.
Gilderoy Lockhart has written quite a few books. Adventure novels have only started in the past few years, and they were in other genres before.
For example, Ted also saw a copy of "Gidero Teaches You to Clean Up Household Pests", which is said to be quite effective.
Of course, I'm afraid it was stolen from someone's head.
Ron also complained in a subsequent letter: Is this professor here to teach or to sell books? Our family needs to buy 35 copies in total? ! Ginny also wants wizard robes, wands and other things...
The pressure of life has made Ron feel heavy.
He endured financial pressures that he shouldn't have at his age.
It is said that the twins took out all their small coffers to subsidize the family.
It can be said that it was a hard-working holiday, one day before returning to the holiday.
On the same day, Hermione also wrote to say that she went to Diagon Alley to buy textbooks on the 26th.
…
In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and the 26th arrived.
Ted picked up an elated Hermione at the Leaky Cauldron, and then went to Diagon Alley with Hermione and Jerry.
Meanwhile, the Weasleys have come to shop for the children's school supplies.
Thankfully, Mr. Weasley lost a lot of his hair in the past ten days, and finally made up enough money.
Lockhart has a complete set of seven new books, and he has to add a copy of "I Can Be Magical" as required. The market price is at least 20 Galleons, and the five sets of books are 100 Galleons.
This is undoubtedly worse for the Weasley family who are not wealthy.
Ted guessed that Mr. Weasley must have gone out to borrow money.
In Diagon Alley, the three of Ted met Neville, and then saw the Weasley family, who had conspicuous red hair.
The Weasleys were going to Gringotts to withdraw money, leaving Ron and Ginny behind.
Ron asked Ted: "Ted, don't you have to go to Gringotts to withdraw money?"
Ted: "I can't trust those goblins, I would rather put the money in my own pocket." Not to mention Gringotts of goblins, Ted can't even trust the village bank.
Ron shrugged, showing a disgusted expression: "It is estimated that our family will not need to save money for a long time."
Before meeting him, he was already full of disgust for that Lockhart. Jerry had the same expression.
"A hundred Galleons! Damn it!" Ron complained in a low voice.
Ted patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I won't let him make a huge sum of money from me. Although there is a reverse copy spell in the book, I can use a quick copy pen to copy it down and rebind it."
Ron and Jerry's eyes lit up, and they looked at Ted: "Ted..."
Although the two of them didn't say anything, they could tell the elegant meaning by hearing the strings~
However, Hermione disagreed, "How can this be done? This is, this is...piracy! Very bad behavior."
Ted comforted Miss Beaver: "Hermione, you know, these completely unreasonable book purchase requests are very suspicious. Just like Ron said, this Lockhart is almost selling books by being a professor, This situation is very unethical."
"Although our behavior is not honorable, who made him immoral first? Besides, this is indeed a lot of money, and it puts a lot of pressure on us."
Neville was in a dilemma: If he didn't use pirated books, wouldn't he be a bit out of the group?
Hermione hesitated to speak, she really didn't know what to say.
It is definitely wrong to use pirated books, but what should I do if I really can’t afford the genuine ones? To be honest, a £100 textbook is indeed a bit of nonsense.
Ted continued: "Of course, we used pirated books, so we must keep a low profile. It's our fault to be complacent about using pirated books. We have to thank Professor Lockhart in our hearts, right?" He bumped Ron on the shoulder.
"Ah?! Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you, Professor Lockhart, for allowing me to use pirated textbooks, eight of them!" Ron said in a strange tone.
Jerry also nodded again and again: "I thank Professor Lockhart for eight generations of his family!"
Hermione's cheeks bulged out of anger~
Ted smoothed things over: "Okay, we also have to be careful not to be discovered by this sassy professor in class, otherwise he will see us using pirated books, and I'm afraid he will put on shoes for us."
Soon Ron told his sister Peggy and the twins about this good way to save money.
The four of them immediately reached an agreement.
They told Mr. and Mrs. Weasley to just buy Ginny a new one, give them some money, and they'd use a second-hand one.
also said that Ted bought a batch in the second-hand market, which is cheap~
Ted: Lockhart releases a new book today, where do I go?
That's right, Lockhart signed new books at Lihen Bookstore today, and the three floors inside and outside were full of people.
Because Ted issued an announcement two days ago: Due to the reason for the start of school, Xianyuwang suspended its service and carried out internal upgrades.
The wizards who are used to going to Diagon Alley to eat melons, gossip and drink afternoon tea can be considered to have found a new substitute - eating melon seeds and drinking tea, facing Lockhart who set up a table at the door of the bookstore to sign new books, pointed out Pointing and commenting.
If anyone finds out that the daughter-in-law is excited to ask Lockhart to sign it, it is necessary to ridicule him.
However, Lockhart is indeed not bad-looking, and he looks good. Greasy hair and powder noodles, with golden curly hair meticulously groomed, he thought it was a compliment when he was pointed out by everyone, and laughed five times in one minute!
As for those who bought books around signing, most of them were a group of witches in their 30s and 40s, with excited and enthusiastic faces, as if they had met idol fans.
At this time, Halle was also led by Sirius and his wife to Diagon Alley. After seeing her friend, she let go and ran over, causing Sirius another burst of pantothenic acid.
Harry was only a few steps away and started yelling: "Hey, who is that golden retriever with a fake smile?"
Ron's mouth turned Lao Gao, "Who? A book dealer!"
Jerry and Neville nodded again and again, and Hermione rolled her eyes angrily.
In Hermione's impression, anyone who can become a professor is a respectable person.
At this time, we have to mention our Professor Snape and Professor Quirrell~
Then Hermione stopped talking~
When it came time to buy the book, something really happened.
When Lockhart saw Neville, his eyes lit up green!
Lockhart: Ahahaha~ Neville is here~
"Look, who's here? It's our famous savior, the Boy Who Lived! He's also here to buy my book! My "Magic Me"!"
He grabbed the wrist of Neville who was retreating, and waved vigorously to the surroundings, with a feeling of "everyone pay attention to me, I'm announcing something, I'm a beep~beep~".
"A piece of good news, I decided to announce it now - Dumbledore invited me to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and I have agreed!"
"Neville, I am your teacher now! These books are presented to you by my teacher, take them quickly~"
A large stack of Lockhart's autographed books was stuffed into Neville's hands. Neville was surrounded by dozens of people at this time, and his eyelids were going numb. He felt that Lockhart's hands were holding him like iron tongs. Can't break free!
"Now, let's take a group photo with our master and apprentice! What a beautiful thing~" Lockhart hugged Neville with a very intimate look.
A guy who looks a bit like a chimpanzee, taking a photo with a camera jumping up and down.
Neville would rather dance with the troll than take a photo with this golden retriever.
The friends on one side are also on fire: Let go of Neville! Is he forcing a good person to be a C?
Thanks to the book friend "Hui ryan" for the reward of 1500 points!
Thanks to the book friend "Swordsman Burning Charcoal Cold" for the 500-point reward!
Thanks
