Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 381 Not a loss

  The fact that Albert had the ability to predict was soon forgotten by the students after it was confirmed to be a "rumor".

   Yes, it’s interesting, everyone’s memory is very short, only a few days, and they will quickly be attracted to brand new topics.

  As for their new topic now, it comes from the fact that Albert submitted a paper on "Advanced Use of Transformation Spells" at the party of the Transfiguration Club not long ago.

   After Professor McGonagall revised this paper, he helped to submit it to "Transfiguration Today", which caused a storm.

  The general content of the thesis is to construct a "video and text" communication platform similar to a Muggle phone by using advanced transformation spells.

All right!

   This thing has actually surpassed the scope of students. Many wizards have not mastered the advanced use of magic spells, and wizards who can dig deep into the effects of spells are even rarer.

  Students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, who can propose such an architectural idea, undoubtedly shocked a lot of people's jaws. In particular, the understanding and application of the spell of change in the thesis shows the author's understanding and cognition of this field.

When "Today's Transformation Magazine" first came out, that paper immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially the students who knew that Albert was still a student. Every time they saw Albert, they would vote with admiration and complexity. eyes.

   Albert won the most promising newcomer award of this year's "Transfiguration Today" for that thesis, which is undoubtedly a very high honor.

  Many students think that Albert has surpassed the N.E.W.Ts exam level in the field of transfiguration.

  However, everyone didn't know that the paper was just a blueprint for magical communication that Albert conceived when he was studying the double-sided mirror.

The easiest way is actually to build a communication book. When you need it, open the book, find the target page according to the catalog, and then use something like a double-sided mirror to communicate with the other party, whether it is using text or video. The disadvantage is that it is not very convenient to carry.

   Albert plans to put it into action in the near future. Even if most wizards in the magic world don't buy it, he believes that men and women in love will also need double-sided mirrors to talk on the phone.

  This is more practical than writing a letter.

  Before that, Albert needs to master the advanced transformation spell. The advanced use of the spell is really not easy to master, and he needs to continue to practice.

  Of course, advanced changing spells are easier to master than advanced patron saint spells. Although they will not appear on the skill panel, Albert has indeed mastered a small part of the advanced application skills of changing spells.

  If he is willing to invest enough experience or skill points in the transformation spell, he should be able to quickly master the advanced use of the transformation spell, but Albert also needs to consider the distribution of experience.

  Although there is indeed a lot of experience accumulated in the experience pool, such things as experience are usually not enough, and he usually only selectively upgrades the more important skills to the first or second level.

  Most of the time, Albert still practiced the spells taught in textbooks by himself, and the wizard blood gave him a great advantage.

  In the busy campus life, the time began to slowly advance towards the end of September, and the rainy season in Scotland officially started.

   It rains a lot, especially when you are outdoors in herbal medicine class, you will always get yourself covered in mud, cold, wet and exhausted.

  The protection of magical creatures class is also held outdoors, and it is also very troublesome when it rains.

Albert still remembers a time when everyone was holding an umbrella to hold a class outdoors. In the end, because it was raining too hard, Professor Kettlebo directly moved the class location to the nearby forest and asked everyone to hide from the rain under the trees. , and listened to him explain the breeding of Bowtruckles by the way.

  However, in the depressing wet rainy season, there are always a few things to be happy about.

  What is most pleasing to Albert is that he created a new mission from Mr. Adolphe Fournier.

  The name of the task is "Equivalent Exchange."

  The content is very simple, it is an equivalent exchange with what both parties need.

  Adolphe Fournier needed the method of making a double-sided mirror, and Albert needed Adolphe Fournier's knowledge of alchemy.

  The task requires both parties to maintain a relatively equivalent and voluntary transaction in the process.

   can be interpreted as not to suffer.

  Just a few days ago, Mr. Adolphe Fournier got the rest of the information about the double-sided mirror as he wished. Of course, the part of the information that Albert gave to the other party came from the records and descriptions in the golden book.

  In exchange for knowledge, Albert also obtained a lot of useful alchemy knowledge from Mr. Adolphe Fournier, and the manufacturing method of the looking glass is one of them.

   The looking glass was not an invention of M. Adolphe Fournier.

There is almost no awareness of protecting intellectual property rights in the magic world. As long as you can learn it, basically anyone can use it. That's why formulas like Floo powder are firmly grasped by Wild Smith, who values ​​knowledge. To ensure that the manufacturing method of Floo powder will not flow out, so as to protect their own interests from infringement.

   This kind of thing naturally has its disadvantages. Some methods of making spells and magic items may be lost due to the death of the inventor and maker.

It is worth mentioning that, under Albert's request, Adolphe Fournier's research theory on the magic lamp has been completed, which is similar to the thinking mode of the memory ball, making a container, using the wizard's wand as the igniter, When the wizard uses Luminescence on the container, the magic lamp is lit by the wand.

   Well, it’s actually a magic version of an oil lamp.

  The disadvantage is that it cannot last long, and it is not as practical as imagined.

  Albert made himself a magic lamp that can only light up for ten seconds according to the method he got from Adolphe Fournier.

   Fortunately, the alchemy skill of "Magic Lamp" does appear in the skill panel.

  At that time, Tom, who witnessed this process, was taken aback and slapped the magic lamp on the ground.

  The first experimental product of the magic lamp was swept into the trash by a cat on the spot.

  Actually, Albert wanted Dumbledore's technology more, but it was a pity that Adolphe Fournier couldn't provide him with technical and knowledge support, which was beyond his understanding.

  I can only say that alchemy sometimes really requires knowledge.

   Shortly after Adolphe Fournier obtained the remaining information, he sent Albert a pair of double-sided mirrors as a gift.

  Of course, there was a bit of showing off in this gift, but Albert didn't care. He was thinking about whether to send a double-sided mirror home.

As for this deal, Albert didn’t lose at all. He gained a few more alchemy skills in the panel skills, and he also completed the task of "Equivalent Transaction". It's a **** profit.
