Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 171 The Sword of Vowed Victory
"The Ministry of Magic may not agree to Mr. Potter's going to Diagon Alley." After pondering for a moment, Hardy said.

Dumbledore replied: "They won't know, this is precisely the best protection for Harry."

The wand raised slightly, and a pair of square-rimmed glasses slipped out of his wizard robe, "As long as you wear this, you can change your appearance and voice. Although the range of change is not comparable to that of Polyjuice Potion, it is better than that of Polyjuice Potion. lasting."

Hardy took the square-rimmed glasses from Dumbledore's hand, looked them up briefly, and raised his head: "It's a good alchemy product, but there is still room for improvement. I need two nights."

"Professor! You agreed?" Harry almost jumped up in excitement.

"It just so happens that Uncle Garrick's wand shop needs an assistant," said Hardy, shrugging.

Harry had no memory of how he got back to the dormitory.

Since Professor Ollivander promised to take him to Diagon Alley for the rest of the summer vacation, he seemed to be light and light, as if he could fly there at any time.

"As an assistant at Ollivander's wand shop!" Harry rolled excitedly on the four-poster bed. "Maybe by the time school starts, I'll be a master of wands!"

Inside the alchemy professor's lounge.

Hardy, who had just put on his blue silk pajamas and was about to rest, received an urgent letter.

When he saw the wax stamp that belonged to Daniels on the envelope, his eyes immediately burst into bright light.

It looks like Charlie has cracked the secret of the Information Cube.

Taking the envelope from the owl's claws, Hardy spread out the letter and read softly:

Dear Hardy:
My trusted friend!You can't believe how excited I am at the moment!
Unraveled, and the secrets hidden in the Information Cube--that's a good name--were completely unraveled.

Of course, this is inseparable from your generous help. I have to admit that your talent is quite rare in the field of alchemy. Maybe that old fellow Grant would be jealous.

Oh, sorry, forgive me for rambling so much.

Back to the topic, the secrets in the Rubik's Cube completely exceeded my expectations.

You know, it comes from ancient Egypt, but the truth is that the things it records have nothing to do with that place.

The Sword of Oath Victory!

Aha, who would have expected it!The method of making this is actually recorded in the information Rubik's Cube!
After reading the letter from Charlie Daniels, the light in Hardy's eyes became brighter and brighter, and finally became even brighter.

As far as he knew, in ancient British mythology, the Sword of Oath of Victory was the holy sword that appeared with King Arthur, the legendary British hero.

Like the theme of the legend itself, it represents domination and destruction, so it is called the symbol of heroic governance, the weapon of the king of kings, and the sword of swords.

The sword of vowed victory means "broken steel" in ancient Celtic, and has been translated as "sword of the king", "sword of cutting iron", and "sword in the lake".

It is worth noting that there are many unprofessional Muggle historians who have misidentified this sword as the "Sword in the Stone", which is incorrect.

The Sword in the Stone is the original sword of King Arthur. One day in the battle, King Arthur unfortunately broke the Sword in the Stone, so he came to a lakeside under the guidance of the wizard Merlin.

The elf in the lake holds a sword in his hand and lifts it out of the water. This sword is the sword of the vowed victory.

That night, Hardy went to the restricted area of ​​the Hogwarts library again, where he learned more historical secrets.

The first sword of vowed victory that appeared in history was forged in Avalon, the kingdom of elves.

Its tsuba is made of gold, and the hilt is inlaid with gemstones. It is also named "Excalibur" because its sharp edge cuts iron like mud.

The wizard Merlin once warned King Arthur: "Although the sword of the sworn victory is powerful, its scabbard is more precious than its sword. Those who wear the scabbard of the sworn victory sword will never bleed, and you must not lose it."

So King Arthur became the master of this sword, and used this alchemy product with powerful magical power to be invincible.

But later, King Arthur's scabbard was stolen by the traitor knights. Therefore, even though he had a sword that cut iron like mud, he was finally killed by the traitor knights, and the sword of the oath of victory was also missing.

There is also a saying that the sword of the oath of victory was finally thrown back into the lake by his last knight at the behest of King Arthur, and returned to Avalon, the kingdom of elves.

Regarding the records of Avalon, the kingdom of elves, Hardy didn't read many things. He only knew that it was the holy land and pure land of elves in legend.

However, Hardy estimates that there is a high probability that it has collapsed and perished in history, otherwise the free elves would not have been defeated in the ancient wizard wars and become the current house elves.

After a sleepless night, when Hardy came out of the library, it was already six o'clock in the morning, and it happened that Hagrid was feeding the Hippogriff in the courtyard.

When he noticed Hardy's arrival, he was at a loss like a child who had made a mistake, "Oh, Professor Ollivander, I didn't bring it in on purpose."

"Relax, Hagrid, there are no children at the castle for the summer, and I don't think that's such a serious mistake."

Hagrid laughed foolishly: "Yeah, that's what I thought too. The grass in this courtyard has a special magical power, which can make the Hippogriff feel peaceful."

He rubbed the hippogriff's mane with his broad palm, and the other party hummed "sucking", as if enjoying it very much.

But soon, the Hippogriff seemed to have been frightened, raised its head and backed away, while stomping its hooves continuously.

"Hey! Dude, what's the matter with you?" Hagrid patted the other's body lightly, "I've never seen him like this."

Facing the gazes of Hagrid and the Hippogriff, Hardy thoughtfully took out a colorful oval egg from the pocket of his wizard robe.

"What's this? God, I always feel a little familiar." Hagrid stared blankly at the thing in Hardy's hand.

"Agnes," Hardy said.

Since the summer vacation, this little guy has started a hibernation-like process after having a full meal.

A thin, colorful shell encases itself.

"Nice job, it's amazing!" Hagrid clapped his hands excitedly: "I mean, I know this, it's changing for the better."

"Evolution?" Hardy thought thoughtfully.

Hagrid scratched his head: "Oh, yes, yes, evolution? That's such a new word."

After getting the answer from Hagrid, an expert in raising magical animals, Hardy couldn't help but become curious when he looked at Agnes' rainbow egg.

When the eggshell is broken again, what will the little guy look like?
