Wind and Eagle Wings at Hogwarts

Chapter 202 202. Surprise Dinner Training
Scott unfolded the ancient parchment.

After this period of hard work, he has deciphered one-fifth of the hidden content of this recipe.

Through the few key words that have been deciphered, he has roughly guessed the content recorded on this parchment.

First of all, what is certain is that this parchment records the secret recipe for making an alchemy item.

After guessing, Scott was able to determine the name and function of this alchemy item.

[Ring of Arson], the function is to help the wizard better control the magic flame.

Regardless of the effectiveness of this alchemy item, even if Scott completely deciphered the secret recipe for making it, he would not know alchemy.

But the ancient rune circuit recorded in the secret recipe was the biggest surprise for him.

According to the functions of the alchemy items, he can be sure that this is a set of rune circuits for manipulating fire.

Such knowledge is undoubtedly invaluable.

Even though the effect of a simple rune circuit is far less than that of a complete alchemy item, for Scott, this is already a huge gain.

Scott couldn't wait to get it.

However, it was extremely difficult for him to decipher the encrypted recipe written on this parchment.

Excluding one-fifth of the content that has been deciphered, it becomes more and more difficult as you go forward.

Relying on Scott's own deciphering in this way, not only the speed is worrying, but also extremely error-prone.

A set of rune circuits is constructed by combining multiple runes. If one of the runes goes wrong, the entire set of rune circuits will be scrapped.

Not to mention, with Scott's knowledge reserve, deciphering it alone is actually almost reaching its limit.

Fortunately, he has other options.

However, the process of deciphering is also a process of getting familiar with learning, so Scott decided to wrestle with the parchment alone for a while before talking.

If there is still no progress at the end of the semester, then use another method——

He can choose to apply to Professor Flitwick for the use of Ravenclaw's crown, or ask for a portrait of Ravenclaw himself.

Indulging in one thing, time always passes quickly.

It wasn't until before dinner that Scott, who felt some pain in his eyes, walked out of the dormitory again.

At dinner, Scott saw that Eddie was absent-minded and asked him what was going on.

"We still haven't reached an agreement." Eddie said a little depressed. "After all, I am a simple businessman, and the twins want to be inventors."

Scott commented casually after listening, "I didn't expect this, the two of them are after more than just Galleon."

"Hey!" Eddie was a little upset, "I feel like you are targeting me."

Scott shrugged his shoulders at his accusation.

Roger on the side gave Eddie an idea, "None of you can convince anyone, why not have a competition."

"What game?" Eddie immediately became interested.

"Of course it's a money-making competition." Roger said, "You can compare who can make more money in the same time with the same capital."

"I will listen to whoever wins?" Eddie's eyes lit up.

He made some calculations and said happily: "Very good, I can definitely win this way!"

With that said, he stood up and wanted to go to the Gryffindor long table to find the Weasley twins.

"and many more."

Scott stopped him and motioned him to sit down again.

"What's the matter, Scott?" Roger asked. "Do you think it's a good idea?"

Scott shook his head, "No, I just want to tell him that I don't sponsor the principal of this game."

Eddie patted his chest, "It's okay, I have money myself."

Scott glanced at him, "Fred and George are not necessarily rich."

"How could it be?" Eddie didn't believe it. "They made a lot of money by reselling your Transfiguration class notes last semester."

"They have to study joke props and save money to open a store in the future, so they may not be willing to compete with you." Scott said.

"I think you have a better way, Eddie." Milton suggested, "Why fight, you can obviously cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Eddie frowned, "It's because we couldn't agree on cooperation."

Milton smiled, "As you said, they are mainly responsible for inventions, and you are mainly responsible for sales. Of course, you can first evaluate the value of their works, or put forward your suggestions on the works."

Eddie's face changed, and he turned to Scott and asked, "What do you think?"

"It will be all right."

Scott wiped his mouth slowly.

"No matter what you do, I have no problem, because I believe in you."

He said perfunctory nonsense without distraction.

He is determined to be the hands-off shopkeeper.

He did, however, believe in the earning power of Eddie and the Weasley twins.

As long as the three of them can reach a consensus, it is impossible for him to lose money as an investor.

"Okay." Eddie said reluctantly, "I'll talk to those two guys again, and evaluate whether there is a market for their joke props."

"come on."

Scott gave him his usual pat on the shoulder for encouragement.

Eddie, who unexpectedly liked this set, nodded solemnly, and quickly finished the food on the plate.

Soon, he stood up, as if carrying a heavy mission, walked towards the Gryffindor table with firm steps.

"That kid..." Roger laughed, "Sometimes he's extremely shrewd, and sometimes he's extremely deceitful."

"Ok?"

Scott, who was drinking black tea, raised his head and looked at him in confusion.

What are you talking about, I don't understand.

Roger shook his head, gave him a contemptuous look, and ran to the Hufflepuff table to find his girlfriend.

Milton smiled and said, "Because Scott, you can always catch Eddie's own interests. Whether it's doing business or listening to news, they are all things he likes to do."

"It's a win-win situation." Scott said pretending to be serious, "Roger said it as if I was instructing that guy Eddie."

"Isn't it?" Milton asked back.

"Of course not." Scott said without hesitation.

Milton laughed dumbfounded.

After a while, he asked, "Wait a minute, are you free, Scott."

"I'm fine," Scott said. "What's wrong?"

Milton said seriously: "If you are okay, I would like to ask you to help me practice the spell."

"Actual training?" Scott looked at him in surprise.

He found that Milton had really changed a lot. He used to be "British Jade", and he would not ask for help directly, even for small things.

It's much crisper now.

Milton nodded, "Speaking of which, except for the dueling club last semester, I have never fought anyone else."

He looked very dissatisfied with himself, "If this continues, no matter how many spells you learn, it will be useless."

"No problem." Scott agreed. "We can call a few more people."

In fact, he felt that it wouldn't make much sense if he went on the field to conduct combat training with Milton.

It's not that he is too confident, because the gap is really a bit big, especially after Scott has been trained systematically by Professor Flitwick.

And Scott still can't retract as freely as Professor Flitwick.

In this case, training will not have much effect.
