Chapter 183 The Cheating French Arithmetic

"So that's how it is!" Lu Ren suddenly realized that his position was that of wizards, and when he saw the purgers who took hunting wizards as his own responsibility, he naturally wanted to eliminate them—this was a matter of position, not negotiable.

"But you don't need to get too excited. Three thousand Galleons is not a lot of money, and you are worth three thousand Galleons." Spurius said to Lu Ren.

Lu Ren:? ? ?
My worth is now three thousand Galleons?
"What?"

"It's like this. In the black market, someone offered three thousand Galleons to buy your little unicorn."

That's right!It makes sense.

"And what about me?"

Spurius' expression became very strange: "Probably, it's a hair extension?" He glanced at Lu Ren's handsome face, "If a wealthy witch or a wizard with special hobbies takes a fancy to you, you might be able to sell it. One hundred Galleons? Anyway, if it was me, I wouldn't buy it if it was more than fifty Galleons."

Lu Ren: ...

Heartbroken!I am not as valuable as a few tail hairs of my own pets!

……

After the turmoil ended, Lu Ren's tutoring career began.His work includes but is not limited to tutoring Alice in English, helping her with Hogwarts first year knowledge - Spurius has bought a full set of first year textbooks, and helping her with her homework, yes , although Alice came from a pure-blood family, Spurius still insisted on letting her learn Muggle courses.

Alice's biggest shortcoming is mathematics. Lu Ren doubts whether she will be able to settle the daily accounts when she arrives in England: but with her wealth, she doesn't care about even a small amount of money.When Lu Ren was chatting with her, he once said that the two black wizards could give him three thousand Galleons in exchange, but the silver-haired girl immediately said that she could also give three thousand Galleons to repay Lu Ren.

This aggressive behavior shocked Lu Ren directly: Spurius, how much money did you give your daughter!Harry is rich because his parents are dead, and you are still alive! Is it really good for an 11-year-old to have so much money?
But no matter how wealthy she is, she can't help her master the cheating French mathematics and the British currency conversion system.The British currency is a big pit, so that the British themselves can't accept it: 1 pound is equal to 20 shillings, and 1 shilling is equal to 12 pence. Then, on February 1971, 2, the Bank of England implemented a new currency system, and the unit of the auxiliary currency was changed. In New Penny, £15 is equal to 1 New Pennies - a disgusting conversion that the Brits themselves cannot accept.

The magic world has no plans to reform Gallon, Sickle, and Nat yet, but this kind of thing can always be changed if you want to. This sinkhole, if you want to jump out, you can still jump out.French mathematics is a pit that cannot be jumped out of.Because this is directly linked to the language!

In Chinese, the basic numbers are from zero to ten, and more than ten are combinations of various numbers. For example, 81 is eight ten and one, and it is pronounced as 81-it is definitely a very reasonable and simple statement.As for the French spoken by the French, they also have their own versions from zero to ten.but!They also have corresponding words for eleven to sixteen!Seventeen changes back to ten and seven, and so on until nineteen, and twenty has its own corresponding word! 21 to 29 becomes twenty plus XX, annoyingly, it is strictly translated, 21 is twenty and one, the others are 22, 23, etc., 21 has one more conjunction et than other numbers.

Then thirty, forty, fifty, and sixty all have their own words...at seventy it becomes the sum of sixty and ten, and at eighty it's four twenty!

Simply sick!
If there is Cangjie in France, then he must have been in high spirits when he created characters.So it's interesting when the French do numbers.

81+79 equals 160.

Chinese version: 81 plus 79 equals 160.

French version: Quatre-vingt-un plus soixante-dix-neuf égal à cent soixante.
The difficulty of both learning basic addition and subtraction is not at the same level.

So Alice is roughly equivalent to an idiot in math.What's worse is that, in terms of high EQ, she is a lively child, and in terms of low EQ: this guy doesn't like to study.

When it comes to arithmetic and English classes, she will disappear without a trace, and this guy will not appear until Ji Lianu's swordsmanship class and Lu Ren's magic class.Most of the time, Lu Ren bit the bullet and did her math homework.

As dumb as she may seem mathematically, Alice is definitely not a mediocre guy: she's extremely gifted at destructive magic...  

Like a sunny afternoon.

Lu Ren is teaching Alice some basic spells in the study room of the castle. Alice is excitedly taking notes in the notebook with a pen. There will be no shortage of wands.Gileadnu, who was lying on the other side of the table, yawned boredly, her ears trembling. In her opinion, these were all gaudy things, and a sword strike by herself was far more powerful than these offensive spells. .As for other spells such as the floating spell, wouldn't it be enough to have hands?Why go to school?Kylenu was a little puzzled by this.

"Okay, you have mastered the key points of the Levitating Curse. Although your use is so-so, I assume that you have passed the test. Then you can show off your skills in front of your classmates. Next, in order to let you have a little The power of self-preservation, what I want to teach you is the Explosion Spell—a spell that I am personally good at. There are two versions of this spell, the low-power version bombarda and the high-power version 'Thunderbolt Explosion' Confringo."

"Let's start with the simple ones. You see my gestures clearly. Remember that the spell is bombarda. You must speak clearly, otherwise the wizard Baruffeo will learn from the past. He said 'f' instead of 's', and found himself Lying on the floor, with a bison standing on his chest." Lu Ren said, slowly waving his wrist in a mysterious arc in the air, but he held back his magic power at the last moment, he didn't want to destroy everyone's study room. It was a mess, even the weakened version of the Explosive Curse was not normal in his hands.

"Oh, I get it!"

Alice imitated Lu Ren's actions again, and she herself didn't have any hope: she had never succeeded in the previous spells.

As soon as she finished speaking, a little red light appeared from the tip of the young lady's wand——

boom!boom--

"Putain..." Lu Ren wiped off the white wall plaster on his face, and got out from under the table.

Fortunately, he was experienced in many battles and had seen a lot, so he reacted immediately and rolled under the table, avoiding the first round of explosions, but he didn't expect that there would be a second round of explosions after the first blow.At this time, half of the study room had been destroyed, a huge gap appeared on the wall, and half of the bookshelf hung helplessly on the broken wall.

Lu Ren: ...
