Chapter 88 Really shame on alchemy
"Does Mars have no satellites?" Fred was doing his homework. Not long ago, he found that he had forgotten the homework for astronomy class, and now he can only do one for a while.
"Martian has two satellites, but the satellites are smaller." Albert answered Fred's question while flipping through the book: "The closer to the sun, the less likely it is to form a satellite. Mercury and Venus have no satellites."
"Then... Mercury and Venus, that one is closer to the sun." Fred continued to ask.
“Mercury is closer to the sun.”
"Finally catch up, help me check if there is something wrong there." A few minutes later, Fred stretched and handed the parchment to Albert across the table.
The homework for the astronomical class is to draw a solar system star chart. Several major planets need to be drawn in detail on the map, and the names of the planets and the number of satellites need to be marked.
Albert glanced at the astrological diagram on the parchment paper and saw the problem on Fred's homework. He reminded him, "The position of Saturn and Jupiter is wrong."
Fred took the parchment and changed the positions of Saturn and Jupiter.
After finishing homework, Fred stretched, turned his head and looked at George next to him and asked, "Have you finished?"
George said for granted: "It's done a long time ago."
Fred pretended to be angry and said, "Traitor, you actually did your homework secretly without hiding it."
"At that time, you asked you to do it together, but you didn't do it yourself. Who can you blame?" George couldn't help rolling his eyes at Fred when he heard this, "I still remember what you said..."
"When you finish, I'll lend it to me to copy it." Lee Jordan giggled.
"Yes, that's what you said at that time."
"You didn't lend me a copy."
"You didn't say you wanted to copy!"
The twins started to quarrel every day again. In fact, they were just too idle and had no time to do such things if they were very busy.
"What book are you reading?" Lee Jordan asked curiously. He was writing today's homework. They were always used to doing homework with Albert. The advantage is that if there is a problem, you can ask immediately. Usually, you can get a solution, which is much faster than doing homework by yourself.
"Follow-style alchemy." Albert turned the book around and read the cover of the book to the other party. This book is "Simple Alchemy" introduced by Professor Blood.
"There doesn't seem to be alchemy in the school." Angelina walked towards this side, holding the monoculars used in astronomical class in her hand, standing behind Albert and asked, "By the way, when will you go to the Astronomical Tower? Class time is coming."
"Wait for another ten minutes." Albert took out his pocket watch, "I don't want to stay on the tower to have a breath."
He put his pocket watch next to him and continued to look through the books in his hand. Unfortunately, this book was a little thinner, and even after reading it, it could not be counted as one hundred books.
The author of "Simple Alchemy" is Joko.
That's right, it's the Joko from the Joko joke store in Hogsmeade Village.
To be honest, Albert was a little surprised when he first saw the name of the author of this book.
Of course, it is not difficult to guess what the book written by the owner of the joke store will be.
This book is actually telling you the relationship between spells and alchemy.
The invisible cloak that originally sounded tall turned into a cloak with a confusing curse in this book.
That's right, this thing becomes the so-called alchemy prop.
The blind eye spell can disguise an object, making people regard it as an inconspicuous stone on the side of the road, or something else.
However, in the eyes of some wizards, using a cloak of sluts is undoubtedly redundant, and they can use it on themselves.
Albert flipped through it and found how to make amulets.
However, the introduction in the book does not use the guardian tree to create amulets, but uses the expulsion spell.
The amulet created by this spell can expel some dark creatures, but it can also cause trouble for wearing them.
When you carry this amulet with you, it is difficult to receive emails from the owl again. The expulsion spell on the amulet will also expel the owl.
Wizards who usually use this method to create amulets have usually very average curse application level and cannot further use the expulsion spell.
"Simple Alchemy" also records the method of making some pranks and joke props, but these weird things are not popular with most alchemists.
After reading the whole book, Albert felt only one word: speechless.
The most shameful thing is that at the end of this book, there is also a garlic cross that claims to be able to drive away vampires.
Seeing this name, Albert almost burst into laughter.
It is almost the same as the name, which is to create a cross that exudes the breath of garlic through the principle that vampires hate garlic.
The simple method of making garlic crosses is as follows:
Make a wooden cross, use alcohol to extract garlic, heat the extraction liquid with beeswax or essential oil water bath, and apply the mixture thoroughly on the cross to fill the cross with the garlic flavor...
I carry a cross that smells like garlic, and I feel inexplicably funny.
Well, this book really embarrasses the alchemy!
"Is alchemy interesting?" Fred asked curiously.
"Interesting? No, alchemy is not interesting, but this book is very interesting." Albert closed the book and handed it to Fredd. "After reading this book, my understanding of alchemy has greatly improved."
"Let me see..." Fred flipped a few pages and said with regret, "This book is still a bit too profound for us and I can't understand it at all."
"If there is alchemy, it should be an elective course in the third grade, but unfortunately Hogwarts did not." Fred said regretfully.
"Let me see." George took the book and suddenly screamed, which scared the people next to him.
"What are you calling?" Li Jordan glared at George angrily.
"Look, you definitely didn't find who the author of this book is."
"author?"
"Zoko." George has been deeply attracted by the way he made joke props above.
"Zoko from Joko's Joke Store." Several people asked curiously.
"Yes, it's him." Albert stucked the book in his schoolbag despite George's resentful eyes, "Let's go, the time is almost over. If you are interested, there is still a long time left. The book will be there anyway."
"By the way, why are you interested in this?" George asked curiously while climbing the spiral stairs.
"I happened to talk about the topic of dark magic defense with Professor Broad. He suggested that I read this book, so I borrowed it to read it." Albert looked helpless: "But, I didn't expect the content of this book to be a bit beyond my expectations."
After reading "Simple Alchemy", Albert's understanding of alchemy was deviated. Can the things in the book really be considered alchemy?
In this regard, Albert retained his doubts about this.
