I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

In the world of wizards, due to the development of the planting industry, the profit margin of raw materials is gradually diluted.

Wizards no longer tend their gardens themselves.

They spend more time exploring the mysteries of magic and trying more bizarre potion experiments.

If you need raw materials, you can buy what you want at a low price in any gathering place in the wizarding world, and as the most prosperous commercial street in the wizarding world, Diagon Alley, they claim to be able to meet all your needs.

None of that exists now.

At least for Lin Dong, a lonely magician.

He couldn't buy any cheap raw materials.

The things in the wizard shop are even darker than the black magic of the black wizard, and Lin Dong also keenly discovered the shameless act of adding money to the system.

In this regard, the system explained that due to the increase in procurement costs across time and space, the price was raised as a last resort.

Damn cross-time and space purchases.

The whole is a profiteer.

Lin Dong had every reason to suspect that the system was transformed by a black wizard, and she should be called a black system.

In order not to be exploited by the system, Lin Dong conducted experiments in this Muggle world, trying to grow and breed some raw materials.

The several common potion materials used as experiments all grow well.

After picking, it did exert a stable magical effect, which shows that the son of a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix begets a phoenix mouse can make holes.

As long as the seeds are healthy, the things that grow must be useful.

If he really can't go home in three to five years, he even plans to use the traceless stretching spell to create a small world. This is the inspiration for him from the new Harry Potter extended series Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

It's Newt's kind of box.

This is not an easy thing to get. Lin Dong is not very good at the No Trace Stretch Curse, because this thing is of no value to a rich witch.

If you want it, you can use Gallon to buy it at the prop shop in Diagon Alley.

It is just an ordinary auxiliary skill.

In the wizarding world, Mr. Crest could fit a dragon in his pocket.

It's useless to say anything now, everything depends on yourself.

Lin Dong closed the courtyard door, took off the small wand from his wrist, and cast a spell on the sky in the courtyard, a layer of mist that was barely visible to the naked eye gradually rose.

This thing has a limited effect, but it can expel Muggles, and it can also block Muggles' sight.

The occlusion here means that when Muggles look over here, they can only see what Lin Dong wants them to see.

The role of repelling Muggles is simple.

Lin Dong would also use similar magic when he was filming in other places. People who were not recognized by him would turn back when they walked to the door of his villa for various reasons.

Today's mist has a similar effect.

Several herbs used as experiments are wriggling in the vegetable garden at this time, and they seem to be alive.

It also screams if you tug on it too hard.

Fortunately, they will not show this side in front of Muggles. In the eyes of Muggles, they are just ordinary herbs.

You go over there, I want to plant Mandela here. Lin Dong grabbed the few herbs and drove them aside.

And the few herbs that were pulled up were struggling desperately, and they obviously liked this place more.

Unfortunately, they are no match for the evil wizard.

The wizard buried a thumb-sized seed in the soil, and then cast a spell on the soil with a small wand...

Crazy Growth Curse!

The soil squirmed, and soon a new plant grew.

Mandrake.

Native to Europe, Mandrake is about 30 cm tall. Its roots are forked and shaped like a human body. The leaves are mostly oval, with bell-shaped white or blue flowers. The fruit is a juicy berry, almost round.

The whole body is full of treasures, and when it matures, it can move around.

Legend has it that when the mandrake is uprooted, it will make a sharp scream, and the person who hears it will be cursed, become deaf, insane or die, so people will not pull it out by themselves. Coming out, picking mandrakes is a mysterious and grand affair.

The ancient Greeks had a cruel way of collecting mandrakes: they used a rope to trap the mandrake, and tied the other end of the rope to a hungry dog. After standing far away, they threw the meat out, and the hungry dog ​​would pounce on the meat. At the same time the hunting horn was about to be blown over the screams, and the dogs pulled the mandrake up by the roots along with the rope.

Noble wizards would not take this approach.

Wizards seldom kill plants directly when harvesting herbs, so magic plants have a long lifespan, and they can even be said to be friends of wizards.

The wizard will aim at it with a wand, and then discuss it in a friendly manner.

Give me a piece of your root, right now!

Given the friendly attitude of the wizards, the herbalists seldom refuse unless they're sick of it.

For ordinary people, mandrake is good for wound healing, the root can treat erysipelas, and the root cut into slices and soaked in vinegar is good for gout, insomnia and phlegm.

For wizards, Mandela has too many uses.

The roots can be used to make sixty or seventy kinds of potions. Even forcing the Madeira grass to spit out some juice can greatly improve the effect of the herbal medicine and the success rate of making it.

This newborn mandrake already had some wisdom, it spit out a few mouthfuls of juice towards the surroundings, and then the herbs that had been driven to the corner immediately writhed and fled to the corner.

Okay, I have such a big garden, you can't occupy it alone. Lin Dong cast an immobility spell on it with his wand.

Then start to grow other herbs, which are commonly used.

Those herbs that are not commonly used do not need to be planted, they can be purchased from the system store, and it is impossible to grow too many things in such a big fart place.

Planting is hard work.

Only wizards who are desperate, or very untalented, go back to such professions, and the noble Aurora does not belong to any of the above.

The two vegetable gardens are full of seeds.

He also wanted to make these grotesque messes look like ordinary flower beds.

The result is an empty stomach.

The energy that has been accumulated for a long time is exhausted. Simply put, I starved to death.

Apart from anything else, Apparate.

This is one of the methods of travel commonly used by wizards, who can disappear from one place to another in an instant.

It is more decent than the Floo powder used by the young apprentices.

However, this spell is not low in difficulty.

Because, once this spell fails, it will often result in the splitting of a person—a part of the body is separated in two places, a piece of flesh is lost, an organ is lost, and so on. Once the body is separated, it will be injured in a mild case, or even killed in a serious case.

Using Apparition is probably equivalent to getting a driver's license in the Muggle world.

Hunger made Lin Dong unable to wait to ride a bicycle to pass slowly.
