Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist
Chapter 45 Veronica
While listening to the music, Stone's eyes were searching the orchestra.
A poster in the hotel stated the composition of the band members, including a recorder player named Veronica, who was Stone's main target here.
This process did not last long, and soon he saw the recorder player in a red dress.
"Hey." Stone lowered his voice and said sideways to Nicks next to him, "Who are you looking for? Do you want to cooperate?"
The words fell, but there was no response. Stone turned his head and looked over in confusion.
——The Ramadan sisters stared at the stage intently, completely immersed in the music. Stone vaguely saw the notes lingering around the two of them.
What's this? Could it be some kind of Egyptian prayer ceremony? Stone's head is full of questions.
Although I don't know what they are doing, what is certain is that their purpose of coming here is definitely different. Stone sat upright again and listened to the concert.
As the show drew to a close, Stone hunched out of his seat.
The performance is not over yet, the order in the concert hall is still there, and the security personnel are also in a relatively relaxed state. In a situation like this, it's not too easy for a wizard to slip into the background.
The music stopped and the Ramadan sisters retreated from their immersion.
"Is that enough?" asked Nyx.
"That should be enough," Memphis said. "This is the top concert."
"That's good." Nyx nodded, "Let's go."
As she said that, she looked at the seat next to her, "Stone..."
"Where's Stone?!"
... ...
Stone stood at the door of the lounge, leaning against a pillar, waiting for the returning band.
One after another, musicians passed in front of Stone, violinists, horn players... Finally, he saw his goal.
"Hello, Ms. Veronica." While shouting, Stone came forward to greet her.
"Oh -" Veronica paused, "Kid, where are your parents?"
"My name is Cappe," Stone said. "I'm here just for you."
Veronica was very happy that a small audience came specifically for her. She smiled and said, "Want an autograph?"
"Emm..." Stone thought quickly and said, "Yes."
After taking out a pen and paper and handing it to Veronica, Stone continued: "A signature is only one aspect, but more importantly, I want to give you a gift."
"No, no." Veronica signed and refused, "You are too young, I can't accept your gift."
"Don't refuse in a hurry yet."
Stone collected Veronica's signature and said:
"My master is a master of recorder making. He has a recorder, but he has been unable to find a player worthy of it. After listening to today's concert, I think you are the most suitable candidate. ."
"Really?" After hearing the recorder, Veronica became interested, but still hesitated and said: "But if it is true as you said, wouldn't it be too expensive?"
"No." Stone shook his head, "A good musical instrument must be matched with a good musician, and I also have conditions."
It was quite interesting for a child to talk about terms seriously. Veronica smiled and nodded:
"You said."
"I am also a craftsman. I learned some skills from my master and made a similar recorder. I hope you can help me test it."
"Hmm!" Veronica's expression changed from playful to serious, "It turns out that you are also a musical instrument maker. If it is really to test the recorder as you said, I would be more than happy."
"Thank you." Stone nodded slightly, "But I don't have the two recorders with me. I wonder how long you will stay in Cairo?"
"Two days." Veronica said, "Okay, I'll give you the address of the hotel where I'm staying, and you can come to me at any time."
"That's the best thing," Stone said with a smile.
After getting Veronica's address, Stone left backstage.
Stone came up with the rhetoric just now while sneaking backstage.
He is eleven years old, which has an age advantage, so Veronica will not be too wary when they first meet; all musicians have a high pursuit of musical instruments, and it is a good entry point for chatting. ; Coupled with the conditions he proposed as a craftsman, it is easy to gain the trust of the other party.
The only surprise was that he got an autograph, which was of no use and could only be kept as a treasure.
When Stone walked out of the concert hall, he saw two figures, one gold and one white, not far away. It was quite difficult for them to have to wait for him outside in evening clothes on such a cold day.
"Sorry." Stone came closer and said apologetically, "I kept you waiting for so long."
"It's okay, let's go back quickly." Nyx urged, crossing his arms.
"Ah."
It's a pity that Stone is alone, otherwise he would definitely take off his coat and hand it to Nyx. Now...he is afraid of getting a look from the other person, so forget it.
The carriage moved slowly. The Ramadan sisters did not ask where Stone had gone, and Stone did not ask what happened to the notes during the concert. Both parties tacitly chose to shut up. This was the consciousness of their opponents.
After returning to the hotel and changing into clothes that were easier to move around, Stone plunged into the alchemy room. He had to make two recorders in two days. His current task was a bit heavy.
No way, if you want to get the music of top musicians, you have to pay some compensation.
Fortunately, the recorder given to Veronica does not need to be engraved with the wizard's talisman, so the other recorder does not need to go through many careful calculations. It only needs to cut out a complete crystal and open up the inside.
Stone cut out all the components based on previously designed drawings.
The recorder consists of a three-part structure, the flute head consisting of the air inlet, airway, and sound outlet, the flute body consisting of two to eight holes, and the flute tail where the first hole is located. Stone designed the notation to be located in the upper two parts, so the upper connection was divided into several parts that could fit into each other.
Stone then cut a strip of the same size from the crystal in preparation for another recorder.
After doing all this, Stone opened the books he borrowed from the library to study a series of professional music issues about air vibration, pitch, accuracy, etc.
To make holes, you need the support of professional knowledge. If when you make it, when you blow it, the pitch will disappear... that won't be fun.
In two hours, Stone understood the relevant professional knowledge. After calculating the dimensions and proportions, he found a set of professional drilling tools from the cabinet and started operating.
