Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 257 Academic exchange

   "Mr. Anderson came to the party for the first time, I guess I don't know..."

   "No, no, Mr. Anderson also brought his own results!" Selah Harrisis smiled mysteriously at everyone, and pointed to Albert's right wrist, where there was a delicate wooden bracelet.

  Harrisis discovered Albert's protective bracelet just now. After all, he is an expert in the field of alchemy, so he can guess what it is at a glance.

   "Mr. Anderson, can you lend us this?" Harris asked.

   "Oh, you said this thing!"

  Albert was stunned for a moment, then took off the version 2.0 protective bracelet on his right hand, and handed it to Selah Harrisis beside him, still with a little puzzlement on his face.

   "It's a very practical thing." Harrisis looked up and down, and couldn't help but sigh, "I can't make such a thing at your age."

   "A very British magic item."

   Adolf, that is, the old wizard who previously said that Albert was a genius, took the protective bracelet version 2.0 from Harihis, and commented after careful inspection.

"It's not something profound, and the effect probably won't last too long. It's not much different from ordinary amulets." Another French wizard glanced at version 2.0 of the protective bracelet, thinking that what these two guys said was too nonsense .

   "Haha, Claude, you missed your point!" Sela Harrichs couldn't help but tease: "Next time, remember to change your glasses."

"Is there any problem?" Claude was slightly dissatisfied. He thought his evaluation was very fair. Although Anderson was able to make this kind of thing at that age, it is indeed very powerful, but this thing is at that level, and there is nothing to brag about. .

"Mr. Anderson is good at ancient runes. He is really admirable in this respect." Adolf pointed to the protective bracelet, looked at Albert, and asked curiously, "Why not use yew? I think yew is better Suitable for ancient runes."

   "This is just a test product." Albert explained.

"Well, I suggest you try the yew wood, it matches the ancient rune very well." Adolf said gently, "Your name is Albert Anderson, right? I'm Adolphe Fournier. I have some knowledge about magic items." Research, if you are interested in this aspect, you can write to me when you have time."

   "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fournier, I am really interested in making magic items." Albert smiled and shook hands with the other party.

   "Is he really a very powerful little guy?" Adolf sighed in his heart, planning to go back and look for the papers that Albert had published before.

  Claude couldn't help being taken aback. He and Adolf had known each other for decades, so he naturally understood that the other party was not someone who would brag about others at will, so he knew that there might be something on the wooden bracelet that he hadn't noticed.

  Honestly speaking, Claude's level in ancient runes is mediocre. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but blush, and quickly took a sip from his teacup to cover up the embarrassment on his face.

"I remember that Mr. Anderson seemed to be mentioned in Mr. McDougal's new book on ancient runes a while ago." Nelson glanced at Claude next door, and nodded towards Albert with a smile. Said, "So far, I still have a little bit of trouble understanding that book. Maybe, we can take the time to communicate. Also, your idea is good. You can consider mass production and selling it to those people whose jobs are at risk in the Ministry of Magic. I think they'll love your amulet."

  The English of the middle-aged wizard is a bit strange, which may be related to his being a Dane. He is also good at ancient runes and alchemy.

   After all, runes come from Norse mythology.

  Claude was even more embarrassed.

   Version 2.0 of the protective bracelet has been rounded once. Regardless of whether you can understand its uniqueness or not, you know that Claude has misjudged it.

   "Speaking of which, what kind of wood is this? It doesn't seem to be a sorbus tree." Someone finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he changed the subject to Claude.

   "That's the mandrake root. It is said that the dried mandrake root has the effect of sheltering and expelling black magic creatures." It was Gobalot who explained, and he is best at potions here.

  Everyone couldn't help giving Albert a high look. They didn't expect that there are so many tricks in this simple thing.

   "Well, this little wooden bracelet really surprised us." Claude coughed lightly, and simply admitted that he had been mistaken just now.

  Actually, if Claude simply admitted, no one would laugh at him. After all, this kind of thing happens to everyone, and it's still in a field that I'm not very good at.

  The subject of ancient magic writing is quite strange. If you want to truly understand it, you need to have a certain level, otherwise you can only see the surface.

  Harrisis signaled Albert to get up and explain the protective bracelet. Albert talked about the rune problem on version 2.0 of the protective bracelet, but at least half of the audience could not understand.

  Nelson was very enthusiastic about the rune topic with Albert, completely leaving the others aside. l

   "Then, it will be my turn next." Harrisis smiled and took out a glass bottle, which contained a black powder that was so dark that it seemed to swallow all light.

   "I call it dark powder, which is a very special powder. It uses a magical substance extracted from Peruvian ore mixed with some plant fruit powder. Its characteristic is opaque."

  Selah Harrisis poured some black powder from the glass bottle, raised his wand and waved it lightly, so that the small piece of darkness in front of him would not spread to the surroundings.

   "I remember that this thing seemed to be discovered in Peru, it belongs to some kind of mineral properties." Another old wizard frowned.

"You are right. However, there is no progress in Peru for the time being. I have already researched its manufacturing process. However, I haven't found any use for this thing yet." Sera Harrisis After thinking for a while, he added, "If it creates darkness."

  Yeron Bald lit up his wand and pierced into the black mist, only to find that the light from the magic tip could not penetrate the darkness.

   "Ordinary luminous spells and flames can't penetrate this darkness. It's really strange. Maybe it can be used to resist spells caused by light."

   "Muggles have a kind of smoke bomb they use when escaping." Albert reminded, "You can use it to make that kind of thing. It must be very practical, but I don't know how much it will cost."

   “Not expensive, but not cheap either.”

   "That's very expensive, so I'm afraid it's not practical." Albert frowned.

   "The extraction process technology needs to be improved, and the price will drop significantly." Selah Harrisis thought for a while and said.

   "By the way, will this thing be blown away by the wind?" Professor Broad asked coldly.

   "No." Sera Harrichs shook his head and said, "Although it is a kind of powder, once it spreads, it is more like magic, but its effect will gradually dissipate over time, and it usually doesn't last long."

   "We can always find a use for it." Gerber Smith comforted, "Of course, Mr. Anderson has already provided the first use for the dark powder."

  After that, Selah Harrisis mentioned the extraction process of this thing by the way. To be honest, it's a bit complicated, at least for Albert. If it doesn't survive on a large scale, it will definitely be a loss-making business.
