Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 507 Magic Craftsman
"What can this class do? To put it simply, it is to learn how to make magic gadgets, such as invisible erasers, automatic recording pens - you must be familiar with these, and in the future it will also involve the production of magic wands, invisibility cloaks, and flying brooms - —Of course, if you want to make a flying broom at the level of Gale Eagle, you need superb magic skills. You still have to learn a lot, you need to design blueprints, calculate magic formulas, and control spells. It is profound and complicated, but interesting practical."

After finishing speaking, Anok asked again: "Okay, I'll give you a chance to ask questions, what else do you want to know?"

A Slytherin boy raised his hand: "Professor, does this elective have a future?"

Arnock looked at the boy with interest. The boy seemed a little embarrassed, and continued: "My father said that the elective course needs to consider my future. He gave me a lot of advice, but he didn't comment on this course. Gao, he thinks that after taking this course, he can only be a—be—”

He seemed to be looking for an appropriate word to express himself.

"Being a magic craftsman who has worked hard and has no status, right?" Arnock helped him finish the sentence with a smile.

"Sorry, professor, I didn't mean to belittle this course." The boy muttered, "It's just that elective courses are linked to careers now. I heard that this course is thankless. You may not be able to find a job after graduation. Low, you can only tinker with tools for the rest of your life, and you're useless."

"What you said is almost right." Anok nodded with a smile.

The whole class was stunned. They thought the professor would refute this statement righteously, and then listed a lot of benefits about learning magic equipment knowledge, how bright the future is, and how high the salary will be after graduation...

In short, let's praise my class to the sky first, and then keep the students.

However, no one expected that Anok would agree with the student so simply.

Molin looked at Anok with his chin in his hands. He was probably the only one in the class who knew Anok's character. Anok didn't care too much about this kind of thing. He liked it if he liked it, and he didn't like it if he didn't like it.

Arnock continued: "I think your family members must have given you a lot of advice during the summer vacation, what to choose for more promising courses, and helped you plan your career future. I just heard that the wizard law and magic detection courses are full. , a full 98 students are taking electives, which is better than mine—”

Arnock glanced at the 21 students in the class. His course was not at the same level as wizard law.

"To tell you the truth, studying the law of wizards will make you feel like a duck to water in the future. Working in the Ministry of Magic has a lot more status than being a magic craftsman. If you are looking for status, reputation and money, I suggest you try it there. It should be in time."

Arnock's words surprised many students again, and many students whispered.

Hugo also asked in a low voice: "Mo Lin, the teacher of this class—is there something like that? There are few people in the first place, and if he says that again, won't they all run away?"

"Oh, it doesn't matter." Mo Lin fiddled with Doi's tail, and said casually: "He doesn't like trouble the most. I think the professor would like to have fewer students, so that he doesn't have to correct homework—"

"Yes, Maureen is right, there are fewer students, and I can correct less homework."

Hearing what Mo Lin said, Arnock took out his wand and hit Mo Lin on the head, and Mo Lin pouted helplessly.

Arnock looked very happy, and didn't worry about the lack of students in his class, and continued:

"The study of magic equipment is specially set up for those students who like to do it. If you are interested in studying magic gadgets, this course is suitable for you. If you are planning for your future career, this course is not It's very suitable for you—unless you can learn the essence, devote yourself to the research of magic equipment, and become a truly powerful magic craftsman, you will have a status."

The status of magic craftsmen with real talents and knowledge is far inferior to those managers who can speak well. This law applies everywhere.

"But there are not many real magic craftsmen, and only a few are famous. For example, the Holt brothers, the makers of the Gale Eagle and the Firebolt series of flying broomsticks, are unmatched in the field of flying broomsticks; Ollivander of Corner Lane is a master of wands and is so admired that basically all of your wands come from his shop."

Anok paused and said:
"If you can calm down to study magic wands like Mr. Ollivander, and dedicate your life to something, you will definitely achieve something in the end. But if you are just chasing fame and fortune, you can't do it quietly. If you study, then there is no need to waste time on this class."

The students looked at each other, and some of them were from wizarding families. They all knew that magic craftsmen still had little status.

Even Ollivander, as everyone mentioned, is a wand seller. Apart from being in awe of his eyes, which are almost only white, he is not as famous as a Ministry of Magic staff in other aspects.

And, how many people really dedicate their lives to magic wands like Ollivander?
I would rather go to the Ministry of Magic to work as a small employee, and I still have a little power, good treatment and high benefits, and I can stand up when I go out. Some departments even have lucrative money to make money. If I make a mistake, I can deal with it according to the circumstances. Instead of?
A Ravenclaw girl raised her hand and said:
"Professor, this course is called Magic Equipment Research (Alchemy Class), and it is also marked with Alchemy Class. In the past, alchemy was very popular. I heard that there is also an alchemist named Nicole Flamel. The Stone of Immortality has been refined, this kind of magic stone can make the elixir of life, and it has lived for hundreds of years, so Professor, will we also learn the refining of the history of magic?"

"That's right! Professor, can an alchemist learn how to turn stones into gold? That's how to turn iron into gold?"

"Or what powerful potion can be refined?"

Many students eagerly asked that they were mainly attracted by the word "alchemy" when they chose this course. The ancient alchemy occupies an important position in the history of magic, but only those who can truly become alchemists There are so few wizards that they are almost extinct now.

"An alchemist?" Arnock nodded thoughtfully, "Are you all coming to my class to become an alchemist?"

Many people nodded very positively, the ancient and fascinating but lost alchemy, many students want to learn a little bit.

But then Arnock shook his head slightly and said: "Your understanding of alchemy is too one-sided. First of all, you need to understand the concept of alchemist—in fact, alchemist is the most primitive name of magic craftsman."

All the students looked at each other in blank dismay. The alchemist was actually a magic craftsman with a low status in the magic world?
"We know that a small stone has been cast with certain spells, which can exert extraordinary powers. It is rumored that it can be used to refine the elixir of life—maybe there is, but the real magic stone is not so easy to refine. .”

Arnock walked back to the podium, pointed to the weird magic instruments placed in the classroom, and said: "Alchemy is not limited to a stone or metal. We need to understand a question first, what is the essence of alchemy?" ? Can anyone tell me?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Although many people were curious about alchemy, very few people really knew about alchemy.

"Then Molin, tell me." Anok said.

"Why is it me again?" Mo Lin muttered.

In fact, he didn't know what alchemy was at all. Before that, he hadn't even paid attention to the issue of alchemy, and Anok hadn't mentioned it to him. In Mo Lin's view, immortality was too vague.
