Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy

"Gulping gargoyles! If I knew who was the Care of Magical Creatures professor this year, I would never sell a book to him!" the manager of Flourish and Blotts said angrily. He walked over here, not hiding his unhappiness in his actions, nor did he lower his voice even a little bit.

The clerk who had just received Wright's five people did not follow them at this time, because he was getting other required textbooks for several people, such as "Standard Spells Level 3" and "Intermediate Transfiguration Guide". "Pull through the fog to see the future" and so on.

Wright and others did not show any objection to the manager's words, because even in the wizarding world, the "Monster Book of Monsters" recommended by Hagrid can be regarded as the most difficult to deal with. One of the ordinary books.

Even Harry remained silent at this time, not because he didn't want to speak up for Hagrid, but because he really didn't like Hagrid's hobby.

"Are you the ones who wanted to buy books just now?" the manager said impatiently, "Five books?"

"To be precise, it should be four books." Wright glanced at Harry and remembered the birthday gift Hagrid had given him before. "One of us already has this book."

"Four books?" The manager's face showed a slightly more relaxed expression, but he immediately turned serious again, "It's better than five books!"

The manager motioned for Wright and others to stand aside. He put on a pair of thick dragon leather gloves, picked up a big cane covered with knots, and walked towards the cage door of "The Monster Book of Monsters".

"Oh my God! Open your eyes! Don't let me get bitten again! I've been bitten five times in the morning!" The manager stopped in front of the cage door and prayed secretly in his heart, "It's a death to fight for a dragon, and it's a death to fight for an egg. ,Fight!"

At this moment, a loud chirp pierced the air, and the two "Monster Books of Monsters" grabbed the third one and tore it in half with force.

"Stop! Stop!" the manager shouted desperately. He thrust the cane into the iron cage through the gap and banged the monster books hard. "I will never buy these goods again! Never again! That time We bought two hundred copies of "The Book of Invisibility" and spent a lot of money, but we didn't even find a shadow! I thought it couldn't be worse than that!"

Suddenly, a monster book seized the opportunity and accurately bit the cane in the manager's hand with its furry fangs. The large group of monster books behind it immediately pounced on it like sharks that smelled the smell of blood, and started a fierce wrestling match with the manager.

"The Invisible Book of Invisibility"? Wright glanced at the bookstore manager who was sweating profusely with a funny look. Did you bring in a lot of kids that time? In other words, did you really get into the book that time?

Moreover, Liuwa's invisibility is at least an active skill, but "Invisibility Book of Invisibility" comes with its own invisibility buff and cannot be dropped, so it's no wonder you can't find it.

"Wright, what should we do now?" Hermione looked at Wright, "It seems that we can't buy "The Monster Book of Monsters" now, and the people at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore can't take it out."

Before Wright could reply, the manager who almost left his arm in the cage turned around first. His sleeves were torn to pieces at this time, and he looked extremely embarrassed.

But no matter what, business still needs to be done.

The manager put on a smile that was uglier than crying, and said to Wright and others: "Well, it may take a while before "The Monster Book of Monsters" is available. Do you have any other books that you want to read?" Do you want it?”

Harry glanced pitifully at the bookstore manager. This might be the nth person Hagrid had hurt unintentionally. "Sir, someone has already gone to get the books for us, just now."

"Mr. Manager, if you don't mind, can I go and see how to subdue these "Monsters in the Monster Book"?" Wright said with a bright smile.

"I have a way!" the manager said angrily. "Every employee in the bookstore knows that if you want to silence "The Monster Book of Monsters", you have to rub its spine! But you also have to be able to take it. Those monster books! A bunch of monster books, I guess even the manufacturer can’t do anything about it!”

Seeing that Wright didn't speak, the manager continued to complain: "Magic books like this have very strong anti-jinxes on them. Once someone attacks it with some magic spell, the book will instantly fall into a state of madness! So I I just used that big walking stick to hit them! Physical attacks are always the best way to deal with these monsters! Of course, that’s quite a relief!”

Was this really said by a wizard? Wright has a black streak on his head.

"When we were selling books to people a few days ago, we just used sticks to pull out the monster books that had been knocked unconscious and fell to the bottom of the cage. Other than that, there was no other way." The manager said with great sadness. , “This is really the first time I’ve experienced this!”

"Maybe you could catch them one by one, like fishing," Hermione suggested.

"Yes, yes, and then we will be dragged into the cage by them together with the strings." The manager rolled his eyes sideways, "Just like I just did."

Hermione shut her mouth instantly. She gave advice with good intentions, not to listen to other people's sarcasm.

"Based on my personal experience, there are actually many ways to make a conscious creature unconscious, and knocking them unconscious is just one of them." Wright continued.

Harry glanced at Wright strangely. Why did he feel that these words sounded weirder and weirder? What does it mean to judge based on personal experience?

"Of course, there are some methods that are inappropriate to use in monster books." Wright smiled and said something that made most people present tremble. "Although they also have very basic consciousness, they don't have noses and mouths, or It is said to be an absorbing organ, so coma potions or ether are useless; similarly, drowning has no effect; the existence of anti-jinxes allows them to successfully avoid spells such as coma spells, immobilization spells, etc. Weak electric shock spells should have no effect, and strong electric shock spells cannot be used here; there are no acupuncture points on their bodies, and they cannot touch acupuncture points..."

Ron couldn't help but take a step back. He had always thought that Fred and George were the most dangerous people, but he didn't expect that Wright was the one who hid the deepest!

"So what do you mean by this long string of words?" The manager frowned, "Are there any acupuncture points or something? What are those?"

"It's a special term for Chinese medicine, so don't worry about it so much." Wright waved his hand, "I won't give a more professional explanation to avoid further confusion among you."

"So can you trust me to handle it?"

"If you can." The manager gave up his position, "But before you try, you must know one thing. Damaged books will require compensation."

Wright shrugged nonchalantly. His actions at this time were just to test the physical structure of the monster book.

Compared with the many methods of coma mentioned above, there is actually a more common and well-known method of coma, which is spinning.

Under normal circumstances, untrained ordinary people will feel dizzy even if they turn a few small circles. The reason is just because of the conflict of external information received by the brain.

A more down-to-earth way of saying it is: Your eyes see that the outside world has stopped moving, and your ears have stopped moving, but your more precise positioning organs continue to sense the rotation.

so……

Wright took out his wand and pointed it not at the monster book, but at the cage where the book was placed.

"Floating into the sky."

The huge iron cage flew into the air with Wright's wand.

"Armor protection."

A thin mask of light rose up, wrapping the iron cage tightly.

Wright's hand holding the wand began to shake back and forth, and the iron cage also rotated in the air with his movements.

Although it is a magical world, the most basic physical rules have not changed yet.

As the speed of the cage gradually increases, the centrifugal force it brings becomes stronger and stronger. The monster book originally installed in the cage is affected by this strong centrifugal force. After being thrown away, it sticks tightly to the cage. at the edge. That layer of light mask looks very thin, but is actually extremely tough, preventing them from accidentally flying out of the gap.

Wright once again accelerated the stirring speed of the wand, and the iron cage flying into the air slowly turned into a huge ball of light that no one could see clearly.

The manager looked at Wright dumbfounded. He had never seen anyone use magic like this in his life before.

After a few minutes, Wright slowly stopped and lowered the cage.

Those monster books that were originally in the cage were all lying at the bottom of the cage. Even if a few monster books managed to stand up, their walking postures were crooked, and they no longer had their original appearance at all. Aggression.

Wright even saw one or two monster books spitting out scraps of paper, probably vomiting? It seems that the previous statement is still a bit wrong.

But it was still a nearly perfect experiment. Wright raised his eyebrows. It seemed that although they were from the magical world, the external information collection organs of this type of anthropomorphic magical items were still no different from those of normal humans.

The manager was stunned for a while, and suddenly shouted to the back: "Come here! All employees! Put down what you are doing! Come here! Tie these damn books up with ropes! Come on! Come on!"

The way most wizards think today has not changed much. Even if they have been personally shown how to solve the problem, they still like to use the usual methods to solve the problem. Wright put the wand back on his wrist, folded his hands, and looked at the farce going on in Flourish and Blotts.

"That's right! Distinguished guests!" The manager turned his head quickly, "Go and get whatever books you want! All your products are free of charge today!"

"Don't dawdle over there! Use a rope! The thicker, the better! The tighter, the better! The harder, the better!!"
