Chapter 11 Meeting Nico Flamel
Summarize
"Oh my God! He really dares to say that. Professor Snape will definitely teach him a lesson, right?"
"No! Maybe he will be fired - no young wizard has ever dared to do this. He is simply braver than Gryffindor!"
"Perhaps George and Fred were also expelled. If it hadn't been for them, his voice would not have reached the professor's ears!"
"He's right. The Slytherins have gone too far in recent years. They did everything they could to win the Academy Cup. Although Kael'thas is a Slytherin, he is upright and much cuter than other Slytherins! "
"That's right. In the past school year, all Slytherin students have been shrouded in his shadow. It is said that no Slytherin student dared to challenge him! It's incredible that a marrow wizard can do this. It's simply an idiot. Miracle!"
"He has inherited the true qualities of Slytherin, just like Salazar Slytherin back then. Otherwise, how could Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor become good friends back then?"
Thanks to the Weasley brothers' spoof, Li Kai successfully stole Dumbledore's limelight.
All the little wizards looked at Li Kai with admiration and whispered, and some looked at Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape from time to time, as if they wanted to see them put on Li Kai's shoes.
There are also many people who are very clear-headed and know that even if the two professors have to put shoes on Li Kai, it will not happen now.
The year-end dinner continues, but the decoration in the Great Hall has changed, becoming Gryffindor style and shape.
After the dinner, Li Kai followed Dumbledore to the principal's office. Many young wizards saw this scene and thought that Li Kai was going to be punished by the school.
However, the actual situation is not like this. The reason why Li Kai came to Dumbledore was to ask Dumbledore to help introduce Nico Flamel.
The world is so big. As a collector, you can't just focus on Hogwarts. That would be too narrow a vision.
In addition to Hogwarts, there are more than a dozen magic schools in the world, as well as the Holy See that has existed for more than a thousand years, and many unknown hermits.
Nico Flamel is the most accessible hermit to Li Kai at present. He has lived for more than 600 years and is the greatest alchemist in centuries. Such a being must have extremely rich wealth. If he can If you get hold of its treasures, you may get a good reward.
Fortunately, Li Kai and Nico Flamel had the Philosopher's Stone as a bond before, so it was not difficult to establish a good relationship with them.
"Kyle, the speech you just made makes sense." Dumbledore did not rush to ask Li Kai's purpose, but smiled and said: "I think this is the tacit understanding between us, maybe you also discovered , the atmosphere in Slytherin has not been very good these years."
Who has a tacit understanding with you?
Li Kai felt a chill and quickly changed the subject: "Professor, let's not talk about these trivial matters. I am here mainly to discuss some issues about the magic stone with you.
After entering the principal's office, Li Kai explained his purpose without beating around the bush.
"Oh?" Dumbledore asked with a smile: "What do you think is wrong with the Sorcerer's Stone?"
"The energy in the Philosopher's Stone is almost exhausted, which is a bit abnormal." Li Kai said lightly: "I studied it carefully and thought that the Philosopher's Stone should not be like this."
"Really?" Dumbledore finally became serious, "What do you think the Philosopher's Stone should look like?"
"It should be full of energy, or magic, and now you look at it, it's just like an ordinary stone." Li Kai held the magic stone in his hand, "Have you seen the magic stone before? It's always been like this. Or did it just become like this recently?"
"Well, it seems that you really have some research on the Sorcerer's Stone." Dumbledore shrugged, "To tell you the truth, the Sorcerer's Stone was not like this before, but Nico Flamel used it to create many elixirs of immortality. After that, it became like this. If it weren't for the fact that the Philosopher's Stone could no longer produce the elixir of life, Nico Flamel would not have given up on it so easily. After all, it is better to live than die, right?"
"I see, I think I understand what's going on. Li Kai asked with a smile: "If my guess is right, Nico Flamel shouldn't have used it to make gold for a long time, right?"
Dumbledore nodded: "Of course, Nico Flamel already has countless wealth, so he will not waste time making gold."
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and asked in surprise: "Do you think that the magic power consumption of the magic stone is related to not making gold for a long time?"
"You are really smart," Li Kai spread his hands, "That's what I mean."
Dumbledore stared at Li Kai and asked, "Is this just your guess?"
Li Kai did not answer, but asked: "Do you have any lead here?"
"There is no lead, but there is gold and silver." Dumbledore took out a gold Galleons and a silver Sickle.
Li Kai took the Golden Gallon and Silver Xico and placed them on the table in front of him along with the Magic Stone.
Then he began to wave his wand and recite incantations, casting the Midas touch.
As the magic power continued to be consumed, the gold Galleons and Silver Sickles on the table began to emit terrifying light and heat.
But all the light and heat were absorbed by the magic stone, and not a trace escaped.
A burst of dazzling light flashed——
Gold Galleons turned into Silver Galleons, Silver Sickles turned into Golden Sickles, and the luster of the Magic Stone became much brighter.
Dumbledore's eyes almost popped out of his head. He took the Silver Galleons and Golden Sico and observed them carefully for a moment, and said in shock: "There is no alchemy circle! There is no alchemy potion! With only magic power, he managed to turn gold into silver. , and turned silver into gold? How on earth is this done?"
"In ancient alchemy, anyone with the magic power to turn stone into gold can perform it, as long as they can learn it." Li Kai said with a smile.
Turning stone into gold is actually not magic at all, at least not the magic of this world.
In history, both in the East and the West, there were a large number of alchemists and warlocks who studied the magic of turning stone into gold.
In the West, turning stone into gold is regarded as the ultimate alchemical skill.
In the East, turning stones into gold is regarded as a magical power.
The system reward of turning stone into gold is roughly somewhere in between, so it is difficult to say whether it is alchemy or immortal magic.
The so-called spells are just some weird combinations of syllables. They are neither European nor Asian languages, nor English nor Huxia.
Dumbledore thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to meet Nico Flamel."
He straightened his clothes and stretched out his hand to Li Kai.
Li Kai resisted the discomfort and put his hand on Dumbledore's arm - he didn't mean to offend, but he really didn't want to come into contact with this special group of people.
!
After a soft sound, the two appeared on a street in Gaul.
"Isn't Nico Flamel living in Devon?" Li Kai was a little confused, "It's written in the chocolate frog picture, and it's also said in a certain book, let's go somewhere higher?"
"They are living in seclusion. If everyone knows where they are, is this still called seclusion?" Dumbledore smiled, "Let's go, he should have fallen asleep by this time. As an old man who has lived for more than six hundred years, Man, his sleep quality must be worse than mine."
Dumbledore took Li Kai to a small shop and knocked on the door gently.
After a while, a skinny old man with white hair opened the store door. He was as thin as a skeleton.
"Albus?" Nico Flamel asked in surprise: "You didn't tell me you were coming. Who is this kid? I intuitively thought he was not simple!"
As the saying goes, people become monsters when they grow old.
An old man over 600 years old, who is used to seeing life and death, and has endured all kinds of hardships, must have a very strong soul.
His is very powerful. Even if Li Kai doesn't do anything now, he can feel something abnormal.
"Kael'thas Lee, the current owner of your magic stone." Dumbledore immediately introduced both parties, "Nicholas Flamel, one of my best friends."
"Oh! Albus, when will you get rid of that 'one'?" Nico Flamel made a joke: "Your one will make you lose a lot with me. I even prepared a pack of too many for you." Fei Tang, it's gone now!"
Dumbledore spread his hands and said helplessly: "Aren't you going to let us in?"
"Sorry, come in." Nico Flamel said gently, and then stepped aside.
Dumbledore and Li Kai followed into the house. There was an old woman in the house who had just walked down from the second floor.
"Albus, welcome." The old woman said with a smile.
"Perenal, I'm sorry to disturb you." Dumbledore nodded.
The two parties chatted for a while, and the topic gradually got on the right track.
Dumbledore told Nico Flamel about Li Kai's guess, and then said with a smile: "Nico, it seems that your understanding of the Sorcerer's Stone is wrong. This kid has another opinion. He seems to have seen through the essence of the Sorcerer's Stone." ."
"Oh?" Nico Flamel looked at Li Kai in surprise and asked with a smile: "Child, do you also know alchemy?"
Li Kai didn't hesitate. He slowly named a lot of alchemy materials, and then said calmly: "If I'm right, these should be the materials for refining the magic stone, right?"
Nico Flamel was already stunned when Li Kai read out the names of those ingredients. He stammered and asked: "You - you found another recipe?"
The Philosopher's Stone was not created by Nico Flamel, but he found the formula in an ancient manuscript.
Therefore, there may not be only one magic stone manufacturing recipe in the world.
"No, Mr. Flamel, I learned this knowledge by studying the magic stone. If I have enough materials, I may be able to try to make a new magic stone. Li Kai does not intend to hide his strength, because he also wants to be in vain Here comes the whoring material.
More than six hundred years have passed since Nico Flamel made the first magic stone. Over the years, many materials have become extinct.
There are also many materials whose names have been changed, making it impossible for unfamiliar people to find them.
Li Kai's knowledge of making magic stones comes from master-level alchemy. Whether he can find those materials depends on one thing, but the key is that it is a waste of time.
Nico Flamel was even more shocked: "Do you still know how to make the Philosopher's Stone?"
This is really ridiculous for an old man who has lived for more than 600 years!
Alchemy requires precipitation. A teenage boy saying he can make the magic stone is as outrageous as a wizard saying he can beat the God of Death.
Seeing that Nico Flamel didn't believe him, Li Kai once again spoke out a lot of technical terms in alchemy, and an ancient and obscure alchemy formula - this is the formula for making the magic stone.
He even explained clearly what details needed to be paid attention to in each step of the recipe.
At this moment, Nico Flamel was completely speechless.
What Li Kai just said has proved that he has indeed completely mastered the method of making the magic stone.
In many details, Nico Flamel considers himself inferior.
The reason why he has not made a second magic stone for so many years is that on the one hand it is not necessary, and on the other hand it is too difficult to make a magic stone, and it is so difficult that he is really powerless.
Back then, he spent countless materials and failed many times before finally
Yu succeeded once.
If the whole process that Li Kai just mentioned is followed, Nico Flamel believes that the success rate of making the magic stone is very likely to be greatly improved.
Therefore, he was really excited at the moment.
"I really want to prove it to you with my own hands," Li Kai said calmly: "But now I don't seem to have enough time. If you are willing, I can come visit again during the holidays and we can
Let's give it a try. "
Nico Flamel said cheerfully: "You are very welcome, child.
Li Kai smiled slightly and suddenly changed the subject: "It takes a long time to make the magic stone. We can talk about this later. When I was studying the magic stone, I found that the magic stone contained
The magic power is not too sufficient, so I got some guesses - I think there may be some problems with the process of using the magic stone to create gold.
"Problem?" Nico Flamel said with great interest: "What problem will there be? I have no shortage of gold, so there is no need to worry about this problem anymore, right?"
Li Kai didn't talk nonsense. He directly took out the magic stone and held it in his palm. He asked with a smile: "Mr. Flamel, take a look. Do you feel any change in it?"
Nico Flamel took out a pair of glasses and put them on the bridge of his nose, carefully observing the Philosopher's Stone. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became: "What on earth is going on? Why is its magic so powerful?"
?It seems to have gone back more than a hundred years ago. I remember it very clearly. These 397 lights are exactly the same as they were more than a hundred years ago!"
"I will demonstrate an operation." Li Kai took out the gold galleons that had been turned into silver galleons and the silver xico that had been turned into gold galleons. "You should be able to understand after reading it."
He repeated the previous operation, and the Silver Galleons turned into Gold Galleons, and the Gold Sickles turned into Silver Sickles. Dumbledore had ten Gold Galleons and one Silver Sickle.
And the light of the Magic Stone is more dazzling than before!
Nico Flamel was so excited that he couldn't speak. Li Kai was really worried that he was too excited and was accidentally taken away by death.
"Did you just perform an elemental transformation?" Nico Flamel said tremblingly: "It - it is absorbing a strange power! And converting it into magic power?"
Nuclear energy and magic are different, so although both are energy, magic contains human will.
Nuclear energy is natural energy, and the difference between the two is obvious.
For a master alchemist like Nico Flamel, it is easy to distinguish between the two.
Li Kai nodded slightly, but a doubt arose in his heart.
The two silver coins in front of me underwent elemental transformation twice, each time generating a large amount of energy.
Where does that energy come from?
Continuing to transform will definitely generate energy. If it keeps transforming back and forth like this, wouldn't there be endless energy?
This doesn't seem to be consistent with the law of conservation of energy?
Li Kai suddenly fell into deep thought. Normal nuclear reactions require the participation of radioactive elements.
The process of turning stone into gold does not involve radioactive elements, but it can still proceed smoothly. This is because there is magic as a guide.
But magic power only plays a guiding role. Where does the energy generated during the transformation of elements come from?
Li Kai thought for a moment and had no idea, so he simply skipped the question for the time being. He said casually: "Mr. Flamel, as you can see, there are actually a lot of things that happen in the process of turning stone into gold."
Amount of nuclear energy, and the magic stone can absorb this nuclear energy and convert it into pressure. Didn't you discover this problem during the process of making gold?"
"You call that strange power nuclear energy?" Nico Flamel said helplessly: "I use traditional alchemy, and I have never found this energy in the process of making gold.
The amount, uh, is nuclear energy. "
Li Kai nodded. Traditional alchemy focuses on the coordination of alchemical circles, alchemical potions and magic.
Nuclear energy will inevitably be generated during the transformation of elements. The reason why Nico Flamel did not discover it may be that the nuclear energy was absorbed by the alchemical potion or alchemical circle as soon as it was generated.
Next, they exchanged some questions, with Dumbledore and Perenal interjecting a few words from time to time, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a while, it was already very late.
Li Kai and Dumbledore bid farewell.
Nico Flamel was still a little unsatisfied, and before leaving, he solemnly invited Li Kai to come over during the holidays to discuss alchemy.
He now admires Li Kai to the extreme, and even thinks that Li Kai's alchemy far exceeds his own.
Li Kai readily agreed to Nico Flamel's invitation, and then returned to Hogwarts with Dumbledore.
Chapter 12 The Generous Cassandra Mother And Daughter!
Summarize
After returning to Hogwarts, Li Kai and Dumbledore chatted for a few words and then separated.
Although the end-of-year dinner has passed, the school year is not completely over yet because test scores have not yet been announced.
The little wizards will stay at school for a few more days, and these days may be the happiest days for the little wizards.
No classes, no homework - as long as it doesn't violate school rules, you can do almost anything you want.
Of course, there are also many people who don't care at all whether it violates the effect, they really just do whatever they want.
That's right, we're talking about the Risley twins.
After playing at school for a few days, the test results were finally announced. Li Kai undoubtedly won the first place in the school, and Hermione, who was supposed to be first, became second.
This shocked many Ravenclaw students deeply. Ravenclaw has always been known for being diligent, studious and intelligent. This time, they were beaten by a Slytherin student, and the second place was a Gryffindor student, which really made them look shameless.
After the results are announced, students can go home.
On the Hogwarts Express, Li Kai sat with Cassandra and Hermione as usual.
The three of them occasionally chatted, and time flew by.
Finally, the train stopped at platform nine and three-quarters of King's Cross station.
After walking out of the platform, Li Kai saw Mrs. Worley and Mr. and Mrs. Granger, who had already received the news.
When he saw them, Li Kai felt something was wrong because the expressions on their faces were all unnatural.
"Kyle, I have some sad news to tell you." Mr. Granger said seriously: "Anne passed away, just after Christmas."
Li Kai was stunned in place, his heart twitched violently, and then he regained his composure.
As a human being in two lives, he has been used to seeing life and death, and he has even thought that one day Annie will leave this world.
But when the day actually came, he still felt a little hard to accept it.
Hermione's eyes were also red, with tears streaming down her face. She threw herself into Mrs. Granger's arms and sobbed softly, thinking about the scenes she had spent with Anne in her mind.
Cassandra had never seen Anne, but she was silent at the moment. She quietly held Li Kai's hand and looked at him quietly.
Mrs. Worley stared at Li Kai who was in a daze, slowly took a few steps forward, knelt down and hugged him into her arms, comforting him in a low voice: "Kyle, don't be sad, she passed away peacefully without any pain."
"Thank you, madam." Li Kai took a deep breath, "I want to see her."
The group took a bus to the Stone District Cemetery in Manchester, then got off the car and walked to a tombstone on foot.
"The epitaph hasn't been written yet," Mr. Granger patted Li Kai on the shoulder, "We think this matter should be handed over to you. 910"
Li Kai nodded slightly, without using the magic wand, and wrote in the air with his fingers: There were many ups and downs in his life, and he rests here after his death. May the soul find eternal peace and let the memory become an immortal legacy.
Then words appeared on the tombstone——
Then, he stretched out his hand and touched it, and Anne's sleeping place was filled with flowers.
If it were normal times, Mrs. Worley would definitely praise this exquisite magic, and Mr. and Mrs. Granger would also be amazed.
But now, they all know that Li Kai doesn't want to hear that, so they all remain silent and stay with him quietly.
for a long time.
Mrs. Worley said softly: "Leave, don't disturb her sleep, she definitely doesn't want you to be upset.
"I've already got the Philosopher's Stone," Li Kai said regretfully, "I thought it was too late, but I didn't expect it was too late.
"This may be fate." Mrs. Warley sighed.
After staying at home for two days, Li Kai came to Worley Manor as a guest at the invitation of Mrs. Worley.
When they last met, Li Kai was immersed in sadness and ignored Mrs. Warley's changes.
When they met again, Li Kai was surprised to find that Mrs. Worley looked much younger.
Her skin became more delicate and smooth than before, and the originally tiny wrinkles between her eyebrows completely disappeared.
"Madam, you look much younger and more beautiful than before." Li Kai praised.
"Really? I also feel that I am much younger." Mrs. Warley said happily: "This is all your credit. If it weren't for the beauty potion you invented, I wouldn't have had such a wonderful change. Time is not forgiving. Man, I thought I would have a few more gray hairs this year!"
"I also plan to launch a new product," Li Kai said with a smile: "A magic potion for delaying aging. If it is practiced and has no side effects, you can also try it."
This is really not a casual comment. He plans to go to Nico Flamel in a few days to make some elixirs first, and then work backwards from the elixirs to come up with a simplified version of the elixir.
The effect does not need to be that of a real elixir of life, it only needs to delay aging to a certain extent.
Once this medicine is launched, it will definitely make a lot of gold galleons.
Although Li Kai now possesses the magic stone, which can turn stone into gold, he cannot manufacture gold without restraint. Doing so will definitely affect the scarcity of gold, and will also affect financial rules.
The normal financial order is disrupted, which is not a good thing for everyone.
More importantly, turning stone into gold consumes magic power and time, both of which are very precious to Li Kai, and he does not want to waste them on making money.
"Really? A magic potion that prolongs life?" When Mrs. Worley heard that Li Kai said he was going to launch a new product, an expectant smile appeared on her face. "Then I wish you success in advance. I will definitely give it a try when the time comes."
The two chatted in full swing, leaving Cassandra aside. She rolled her eyes angrily and didn't know what to say.
Strangely enough, there seemed to be no generation gap between Li Kai and Mrs. Warley, but they had nothing to talk about with Cassandra.
Perhaps this is related to the fact that Li Kai is an adult soul in his body. Although adults have different values and outlook on life, generally speaking, they value interests more.
Cassandra is still at an innocent age, and her vision and knowledge cannot be compared with that of an adult.
After dinner at Woley Manor, Mrs. Woley asked Cassandra to take Li Kai around the manor.
Kassandra knew that Li Kai liked to collect all kinds of messy things, so she took him around the collection room of Woley Manor.
Li Kai saw a lot of good things inside, but was too embarrassed to ask for them.
Kassandra was very considerate. When she saw what Li Kai was interested in, she secretly wrote it down and planned to pack it up and give it to him after Li Kai left so that no one would be too embarrassed.
Suddenly, Li Kai saw something very familiar, which was a navigation chart.
The nautical chart is square, but the main body of the chart is made up of circles that seem to be able to rotate.
What surprised Li Kai even more was that there were Huxia characters on this navigation chart.
He suddenly remembered, isn't this the navigation chart in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" in his previous life?
"What? Are you interested in navigation?" Cassandra said enthusiastically: "This nautical chart has been in our family for many years. I heard that my great-grandfather obtained it from a navigator named Zheng He in Shenlongnan. Bought from here."
"Zheng He? He is indeed a great navigator." Li Kai said with admiration: "This nautical chart is very precious and must be preserved."
Kassandra nodded slightly: "Yes, there has been a legend circulating in the family. They believe that this chart marks the location of the Fountain of Youth. There were people who followed the instructions on the chart to search for the Fountain of Youth, but in the end found nothing. People say that the Fountain of Youth has been destroyed, but I don't know which news is true and which is false."
Li Kai was silent when he heard this. He looked at the navigation chart in front of him blankly, and he was already sure that this was the navigation chart in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
But in the movie, the nautical chart was apparently destroyed by a pirate in the end.
So what is going on with this nautical chart in front of you?
Has a wizard restored it? Or is there an identical nautical chart?
Both possibilities exist. After all, this is just a nautical chart made of ordinary materials and with a relatively sophisticated design. It is not a treasure that cannot be copied.
"Do you want to look at anything else?" Kassandra knew that Li Kai wanted this chart very much, but she still did not offer to give it to him in person.
Li Kai nodded slightly, and the two continued to appreciate other collections.
When they came out of the collection room, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
"It's time for me to go back. See you later." Li Kai smiled and said to Mrs. Woley and Cassandra, "Thank you for your hospitality."
"You can consider moving in together. There is a magic laboratory in the manor, and you can research potions freely." Mrs. Warley made a suggestion, "The traces on your body have not disappeared yet. The use of magic in the cemetery has caused Attention Ministry of Magic, I told them it was a magic cast by me. The Stone District is a Muggle area after all, and you will be constrained in whatever you want to do there. If you live here, they won't notice you."
Li Kai thought about it and thought that this suggestion (bcda) was very good. Anyway, sooner or later, he would have to move in. Wouldn't it be better to move in a few years earlier?
"Thank you for your kind invitation, but I want to go back and pack up my parents' belongings."
"Then stay here tonight and ask Cassandra to accompany you tomorrow." Mrs. Warley said with a smile.
In this way, Li Kai stayed at Woley Manor for the first time.
The housekeeper, Ms. Bruns, took Li Kai to a large room and said gently: "Kyle, you will live here from now on. If you need anything, you can tell me at any time. I am in the room at the end of the corridor. If I'm not here, you can find other maids. Oh, I forgot to tell you that the madam and young lady live in these two rooms next to each other. I wish you a pleasant stay here."
"Thank you, Ms. Bruns." Li Kai looked a little unnatural.
Between him and Mrs. Warley's room was Cassandra's room.
Woley Manor is very large, and there must be many vacant rooms, so this arrangement is very intimate, and Li Kai is not treated as an outsider.
Even though Li Kai has the thick skin of an adult, he can't help but feel flattered.
The next morning, Li Kai and Cassandra had breakfast together.
Ms. Bruns came over carrying a small dark red suitcase that was more than a foot long and wide.
Mrs. Woley took the small suitcase and handed it to Li Kai, and said with a smile: "I heard from Cassandra that you like to collect some weird things. We happen to have some things at home that need to be dealt with. Why don't we give them to you? You can Never say no."
Li Kai glanced at Cassandra and saw her looking at him with a half-smile, and he immediately understood that they must have made this decision yesterday.
Most likely, Mrs. Worley wanted to give herself a surprise, but Cassandra was probably teasing herself intentionally.
No matter what, there is definitely nothing to say about the friendship between the two.
Li Kai did not refuse the gift. He opened the suitcase in front of Mrs. Warley and Cassandra.
But he saw that the collections he had taken a fancy to yesterday were all placed in this small suitcase.
This suitcase was cast with a traceless stretching spell, and it was from the same brand as the small bag Li Kai bought earlier.
There are layers and layers of shelves in the suitcase.
Those collections are placed on the shelves, and the interior space of the suitcase is decorated like a real collection room.
Not to mention the collectibles, Li Kai also likes this suitcase very much. He has always wanted a portable collection room like this.
He took a closer look and found that the collections he had set his sights on yesterday were all in the suitcase, including the nautical chart from the world of "Pirates of the Caribbean".
"Thank you, I like these gifts very much."
Mrs. Worley smiled and said: "I'm glad you said that. I have to deal with some things and I will ask Cassandra to accompany you back later."
Li Kai nodded and sent Worev away with a smile.
"I don't owe you anything now, right? Now we're even!" As soon as Mrs. Warley left, Cassandra immediately returned to her arrogant nature, "I saw it clearly yesterday.
, you like these things very much. "
"Yes, I really like these gifts." Li Kai said helplessly: "Now it's my turn to owe you. Is there anything you need me to do for you?"
How can we not owe anyone anything?
The relationship between people, to put it bluntly, is the exchange of favors.
No one owes anyone anything, which means that the human relationship is completely over.
Li Kai has his sights set on the huge fortune of the Woley family, how could he let Cassandra go so easily?
Kassandra didn't see through Li Kai's conspiracy. When she heard Li Kai say this, she felt very happy: "I owe you for now, I haven't decided what to do for you yet.
For Cassandra, this is called treating others with their own medicine. After all, that's what Li Kai did in the beginning.
After a while they flew through the manor's fireplace to the Leaky Cauldron.
Li Kai plans to take the bus home from here.
After arriving at the Leaky Cauldron, Li Kai did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he took Cassandra to Diagon Alley for a while.
They bought some snacks and ice cream, as well as some new books and tools that were launched this year.
Books and tools are not required for the new semester, at least not all.
Both Li Kai and Cassandra knew that the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would be replaced again next semester.
Li Kai knew exactly who he was replacing, but Cassandra didn't.
However, it is an old tradition at Hogwarts to change textbooks every time a professor is changed.
Therefore, other textbooks can be purchased in advance, except Defense Against the Dark Arts.
They still have to wait for the school owl to send a notification before they know what they want to buy.
Now they have books and tools that they like or need.
After the purchase, the two of them took the bus back to Chekai's home in Shitou District as planned.
Hermione happened to be home, and she didn't look happy.
"Kyle, didn't you come back last night?" Hermione asked, staring straight at Li Kai.
"Yes, Mrs. Woley invited me to stay at home." Li Kai smiled and said, "I came back to pack some things.
Hermione couldn't help but glance at Cassandra when she heard this, looking even more unhappy.
Cassandra shrugged and said nothing.
"Then you're not coming back?" Hermione asked tremblingly.
"No, I will definitely come back. I will always come back to see you." Li Kai said softly: "I can pick you up to play with you at Warley Manor. Cassandra and Mrs. Warley will definitely be very happy." Welcome, isn't it, Cassandra?"
"Of course, I am a friend." Cassandra said generously: "The Woley family welcomes all friends to visit."
Hermione smiled immediately after hearing this: "I'll help you clean it up together."
Li Kai actually doesn't have much to pack at home. Since he got storage tools, he has brought all his valuables and commemorative things with him.
They quickly packed everything that needed to be packed.
As for things you don't need to take away, cover them with dust-proof cloths or put them in cabinets.
After everything was settled, Li Kai took the two girls to go shopping in the Muggle world and bought them some small gifts.
It was only noon when I sent Hermione home. Mr. Granger was at work and only Hermione's mother was at home.
Li Kai and Cassandra played at Hermione's house for a while, finished the lunch cooked by Mrs. Granger, and chatted with them for a while before leaving together.
Kassandra was probably tired from playing. After she came back, she said hello to Li Kai and then went to her room to take a nap.
Li Kai finally had time to take stock of today's harvest. After being busy for most of the day, he didn't have time to look carefully at the gifts he got in the morning.
Chapter Thirteen Nico Flamel Betrayed
Summarize
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the legendary collection "Zheng He's Navigation Chart", which rewards "Grandmaster Navigation", "Grandmaster Swimming", and "Grandmaster Astronomy". ]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the epic collection "Portrait of Slytherin", the reward is "Magic Power" +2. ]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the perfect collection "Magic Lamp Made by Fairies", and the reward is "Gold Galleons" +100. ]
There are a total of more than a dozen collectibles that Li Kai thinks are very good, but there are only three that are above the perfect level.
Although he was a little surprised, he was not incomprehensible.
The system rating is very harsh. The closer the collection is to the big characters in the original work, the higher the rating will be.
Many things are not without value, but without commemorative significance, so the evaluation given by the system will not be too high.
What surprised Li Kai the most was that the navigation chart could also be evaluated as a legendary collectible—this item had nothing to do with the protagonists of this world.
The rewards given by this legendary collectible are not particularly valuable, but they are very practical.
It just so happened that Li Kai planned to go hunting for treasures on the sea when he had time in the future. The Age of Discovery had just ended, and there were still countless treasures sealed in the ocean.
There might be something worth collecting among those treasures. If you can't find the treasures on land in the future, it would be a good choice to look for them in the sea.
To hunt for treasure in the sea, master-level navigation, swimming and astronomy can all be used.
The two points of magic awarded by the second collection are also very valuable.
As his magic power becomes higher and higher, Li Kai also feels that the magic power is increasing more and more slowly.
Although he took the blood of the devil and his magic power could grow infinitely, the slowdown in growth rate was inevitable.
Even the legendary demon god has lived for countless years.
They all have to go through long years of practice before they can possess such terrifying abilities.
It only took Li Kai one year to complete a journey that most wizards would never complete in their lifetime. This progress is already very fast. "Twelve pregnant"
The barbaric growth period has passed, and the next step is to slowly improve through hard work.
Therefore, every attribute rewarded by the system is extremely precious.
On the second day after staying at Worley Manor, Li Kai asked Ms. Bruns to send him to see Nico Flamel.
At this moment, Li Kai hates Zongsi deeply. Without Zongsi, with his strength, he can go to any area in the current world and disapparate at will.
He really wanted to eliminate the trace——
However, the magic of trace silk does not act on individuals, nor on magic wands. Without the principle of trace silk, there is no way to completely eliminate trace silk.
Although this magic is unreliable and the specific caster cannot even be distinguished, it is still a trouble for Li Kai.
He secretly thought that maybe it would be good for Bledeau and Nicoléme to help him get a privilege.
With the influence of Dumbledore and Nico Flamel in the wizarding world, this may not be difficult.
If that doesn't work, just attack the Ministry of Magic and crush Fudge's face into the ground.
Seeing Nico Flamel again, the old man seemed very enthusiastic.
"Kyle, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you recently." Nico Lemay laughed and said, "Who is this next to you?"
"Ms. Bruns, the housekeeper of the Woley family, she sent me here." Li Kai introduced both parties, "This is Mr. Nico Flamel.
"Oh! Are you the greatest alchemist master in centuries?" Ms. Bruns was very excited: "It's such an honor to meet you!"
Although she apparently sent Li Kai here, it was actually Li Kai who performed the Apparition. She was very resistant to this at first, because she was worried that Li Kai's magic level was not enough, and she was even more afraid that he would be harmed physically.
But when she saw that Li Kai teleported randomly in the manor more than a dozen times without any harm, she immediately compromised.
She also didn't know that Li Kai was going to bring her to see Nico Flamel, because she was just a tool used to cover up people's eyes and prevent the Ministry of Magic from causing trouble, and she had no idea about the purpose of this trip.
She never expected that the target Li Kai wanted to meet would be Nicolas Flamel, the greatest alchemist master in centuries.
"Ms. Bruns, nice to meet you." Nico Flamel smiled gently, and then invited the two of them into the room.
Li Kai pretended to be distressed and said: "Mr. Flamel, you know, I am still a student and I still have traces on my body. In fact, I can apparate myself, but you should also know the rules of the Ministry of Magic. I hope you can help me solve this problem. It's best to discuss it with Professor Dumbledore. I can't bother Ms. Bruns every time I come over. "Are you right?"
"Aha!" Nicoléme said with a smile: "You have found the right person for this problem. I will write a letter to Dumbledore. I believe it will be solved soon."
"Ms. Bruns, if you have something to do, you can go and do it first." Li Kai smiled and said, "I may have to stay here for a few days. If Mrs. Worley agrees, you can also bring Cassandra to play with her for a few days." sky."
"Okay, then I'll go back first. I wish you a nice stay, Kyle.
After Ms. Bruns left, Li Kai and Nico Flamel got busy.
Making a magic stone is very troublesome and takes a long time.
Even with master-level alchemy, it would take more than a year to complete the entire process.
Li Kai naturally does not have time to stay in the laboratory all the time, so refining the new magic stone depends on Nico Flamel himself, who only provides technical guidance.
"I have prepared the materials. We can start at any time. Let's think about what preparation steps are needed." Nicoléme was slightly excited. "I haven't conducted an alchemy experiment in many years, and I don't know how to do it." No, I didn't expect that this old bone would one day be able to exert its remaining energy again."
"Don't be nervous, let's just start normally. Let's start by preparing the crucible, and then
Nico Flamel's alchemy laboratory is also in a suitcase with a traceless stretching spell. Li Kai is very envious of this. He also wants to have such a mobile magic laboratory.
But building a laboratory requires a lot of money. In the past year, Li Kai has consumed nearly 50,000 gold galleons from beauty potions.
However, this small amount of wealth can only buy one hundred and two thousand light wheels, which is still far from building a laboratory!
Whether it's an alchemy laboratory or a magic laboratory, you can't fool them by just choosing a room.
No matter what kind of laboratory it is, it needs to be built as solid and stable as possible, and magic interference must be minimized inside.
Especially in alchemy laboratories, many materials are very sensitive to magic and will quickly deteriorate if they come into contact with magic without treatment.
Therefore, the walls of the alchemy laboratory must have several layers, and the outermost layer must be reinforced with magic.
The middle layer needs materials to isolate magic power, and the innermost layer is the most common building materials.
This design not only allows the laboratory to maintain the purest natural state, but also has properties such as durability and anti-interference.
This is only the most basic laboratory. For more advanced laboratories, one room is definitely not enough.
In addition to the main laboratory, it is also necessary to open sub-laboratories, each corresponding to different environments, in order to handle special materials and conduct experiments with special environmental requirements.
The magic laboratory is slightly simpler, but the cost is also very high.
Compared with the alchemy laboratory, the magic laboratory only exists for magic experiments.
New spells are constantly appearing in the wizarding world, and most of them are basically born in magic laboratories.
However, researching new spells is a very dangerous thing, so the core function of the magic laboratory is to protect the caster.
Suppressing explosions, stabilizing the turbulence of time and space, and detecting the caster's vital signs—these are the basic functions of a magic laboratory.
More high-end magic laboratories also have automatic recovery functions, and those laboratories are more expensive to build.
Therefore, if you want to build a top-grade magic laboratory or alchemy laboratory, it will not be possible without tens of millions of gold galleons.
Of course, for a powerful person who is qualified to use a high-end laboratory, tens of millions of gold galleons are nothing.
Most wizards and alchemists actually don't even have access to a basic laboratory.
As far as Hogwarts is concerned, so many graduates every year go to the wizarding society to find jobs after leaving school, and few of them devote themselves to alchemy research and magic research.
Li Kai can now earn between 50,000 and 60,000 gold galleons a year. This earning rate has already surpassed all ordinary wizards, but he is still far from the truly powerful ones.
He doesn't need a high-end laboratory now, so spending hundreds of thousands of gold galleons to build a low-end laboratory is enough.
But now that you can borrow Nicol Flamel's laboratory and build your own laboratory, you can move it back.
Time passes day by day, and under the guidance of Li Kai, the production of new magic stones has gradually got on track.
Nico Flamel's level is indeed very high. Although he is old, his hands and feet are still very nimble, and all steps are accurate. As long as he continues at this level, it is only a matter of time before he can create the magic stone.
Seeing that things were going so smoothly, Li Kai also made time to start developing a castrated version of the elixir of immortality.
The castrated version of the elixir of life is positioned for the public, so the most important thing is to be able to mass produce it.
As for the effect, it can significantly delay aging in the early stage.
As long as it can have obvious effects, it will naturally open up sales. Once the sales are opened, it will be possible to obtain a large amount of funds and then it will not be too late to develop more powerful longevity medicine.
If it doesn't work, then we will launch the genuine elixir made from the magic stone. At worst, the price will be higher and it will only be sold to the capitalists in the wizarding world.
Or auction the genuine elixir of life, anything can be done as long as it can extract the wealth of the wizarding world.
"Kyle, I have your letter."
Li Kai was conducting research in the laboratory when Perenal's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Wait a moment, it will be fine soon."
puff!
With an explosion, all the medicine in the crucible turned into black smoke.
"Special code!"
Li Kai weakly held his forehead, turned around and walked out of the laboratory.
"Ha! Kyle, you said it quickly, is it because you knew you were going to fail?" Perenal joked.
During the recent period, Nico Flamel has been staying in the laboratory, but Li Kai often comes out to take a rest.
So as time passed, he and Perenal became more and more familiar.
Perenal is a humorous old lady. She has a strong ability to accept modern knowledge. After only listening to it a few times, she can say "special code" along with Li Kai...
"No, I thought it would work this time, but I didn't expect it to fail." Li Kai sighed: "The influence of the Sorcerer's Stone is indeed very important. I have tried my best and still can't completely eliminate it. It seems that the castrated version will be mass-produced. For the elixir of longevity, a very large magic stone must be made!"
"You want to create a very large magic stone?" Perenal frowned: "That is a great hero. You can't leave this task to Nico, he is my person! You don't want him to work for you. !"
"Oh! I forgot to tell you one thing. I found some problems when I was studying the castrated version of the elixir." Li Kai said with a half-smile: "If this problem is solved, the genuine elixir may be able to restore youth.
Click!
Perenal's mandible was dislocated. She was only a few years younger than Nico Flamel and looked the same as skin and bones.
The connection between bones is very fragile, and a slight movement may cause fractures or dislocations.
She was so surprised just now that she couldn't control her facial expression and accidentally dislocated her mandible.
She skillfully cast a restoration spell on herself, easily lifted the mandible, and then said excitedly: "Really? You can really restore people's youth?"
For a woman, immortality due to loss of youth is undoubtedly a torture more terrifying than death.
Because of love, Perenal has been enduring this torture.
She dreamed of regaining her youth, but Nico Flamel could not solve this problem.
How could she not be excited now that she heard that Li Kai might be able to solve this problem?
"Of course, this problem is actually not difficult for me to solve." Li Kai smiled: "But it will take some time. If I invest my time in refining the giant magic stone, then I may not have time to solve the shortcomings of the elixir of longevity. "
"Oh! You are a great master of alchemy, how can you waste your time on such a trivial matter as refining a giant magic stone?" Perenal said seriously: "Just leave such trivial matters to Nico, you must Focus your energy on solving the shortcomings of elixirs."
"Is this really good?" Li Kai said jokingly: "Nico is too old, and I really can't bear to let him work too hard. And you need his company very much, how can I bear to take up your sweet time? Woolen cloth?"
He laughed secretly in his heart, women really couldn't resist the temptation of eternal youth.
Look, after hearing that she was expected to regain her youth, the old lady in front of her sold her wife directly.
"No! You are wrong, child." Perenal said firmly: "Nico is very energetic now, and he loves alchemy very much. Creating a giant magic stone is also a very great achievement for him! He must I don't want to miss it and I will fully support him in realizing his dream!"
"In that case," Li Kai pretended to hesitate and said reluctantly, "then it's settled."
Perenal smiled immediately after hearing this: "Come on, let's take a look at your letter first. There are two letters in total, one is from the Ministry of Magic and the other is from Hogwarts."
Li Kai took the letter into his hand, opened it and took a few glances.
The content of both letters is very simple, just a brief notice.
The Ministry of Magic asked Li Kai to take the Apparition test as soon as possible. As long as he could pass the Apparition test at 5.4, he could Apparate as he pleased without being punished by the Ministry of Magic.
There is no doubt that this must be the work of Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel.
The letter from Hogwarts informed them of the start of school, as well as a purchase list of items needed for the new school year.
Li Kai didn't waste any time. After saying hello to Perenal, he apparated to Diagon Alley.
He then entered the Ministry of Magic through the fireplace of the Leaky Cauldron.
Dumbledore had already made an appointment for Li Kai. He communicated with the reception staff of the Ministry of Magic for a while and was led to the reception room.
After waiting for a while, several Ministry of Magic officials pushed open the door and entered.
A tall, thin wizard opened the door and stepped aside, letting a fat old wizard go first, while the others followed closely behind.
"Aha, you are Kael'thas Lee? I am Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic. Nice to meet you." Fudge stretched out his hand to Li Kai and said enthusiastically.
"I'm honored too, Mr. Minister." Li Kai shook hands with Fudge politely and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, my affairs must have caused some trouble to you."
"Haha, don't worry, Dumbledore respects you very much." Fudge smiled and patted Li Kai on the shoulder, "Mrs. Woley also told me that she said you are a partner of the Woley family, and Kaishan is a hot-selling product on the market. The beauty potion is the new product you developed, right?"
Kathan...
Li Kai swears that he definitely did not choose this name.
"Yes, I didn't expect Mrs. Farley to say this." Li Kai smiled: "This is just a trivial achievement.
"No, no, you will become a new upstart in the wizarding world, and even create a new family. Believe me, you will definitely do better in the future." Fudge smiled very fakely, his eyes were full of shrewdness like a politician, although he said Although he was saying compliments, he kept looking at Li Kai secretly.
"That's really a blessing from you."
Chapter 14 Apparition Assessment! First Meeting Lockhart!
Summarize
After chatting for a while, the topic got on track.
"I heard Dumbledore say that you have mastered apparation and many very advanced magics?" Fudge said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, we are just doing business. You must also know how much control the little wizard has over magic. If you have not met the requirements, you may injure yourself by casting spells randomly. The reason why the Ministry of Magic strictly controls you is for safety.
. "consider
"I can understand Mr. Minister, you are an outstanding and great leader." Li Kai smiled and said: "The Ministry of Magic is thriving under the wise leadership of Mr. Minister. All wizards should unconditionally cooperate with Mr. Minister's work. If anyone dares If you question Mr. Minister's wise decision, then the job that is most suitable for him must be Azkaban."
Hearing this, everyone except Fudge himself couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Good guy, this little mouth is like smeared with honey, and you are flattered and stunned.
The tall, thin, middle-aged wizard looked at Li Kai with admiration, and thought to himself: "If I let this kid come to work at the Ministry of Magic, I'm afraid he will be able to climb over me soon."
"Hahaha, Kael'thas, thank you for your compliment." Fudge smiled proudly, "But I know there are still many things I haven't done well. No more gossip, let's go and take care of your affairs first. OK, I think you can't wait any longer, right?"
"Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Minister." Li Kai pretended to cry with gratitude.
They quickly arrived at the assessment site, which was two large empty houses. The assessment requirement was to apparate from one room to another. As long as they successfully used apparation three times without making any mistakes, they could pass the assessment.
This is definitely child's play for Li Kai. Fudge was not needed for such a simple thing, but who made him the rising star jointly recommended by Dumbledore and Nico Flamel?
Now Fudge and Dumbledore are still in the honeymoon period. They correspond frequently, and Fudge often consults Dumbledore on some decision-making issues of the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, Fudge must give face to the matter that Dumbledore told him, and he came to handle it personally to show that he paid attention to it.
Thinking deeper, he might not have thought of winning over Ji.
The Ministry of Magic is not the minister's dictum. If you win over one more rising star, you might get another helpful person in the future.
The assessment will begin soon.
Li Kai didn't need to adjust his state. He waved his magic wand and with a unique "crackling" sound, he appeared from one room to another in an instant.
Repeat this three times, and the assessment will be officially passed.
The Ministry of Magic staff who were watching were stunned. Many of them came with the mentality of watching a joke.
A twelve-year-old wizard actually wants to take part in the Apparition test?
The key is that the minister agreed!
This is a joke!
When they are eleven or twelve years old, it would be good for many of them to learn ten basic spells.
What spell is Apparition?
That is an advanced spell that can only be learned at the age of seventeen!
Generally, young wizards cannot come into contact with it at all. Even if they come into contact with it, they cannot understand it. Even if they understand it, they may not be able to use it successfully.
Where is that kid in the house?
Good guy, you don't even need to prepare. Swish, swish, swish, and it's over in just three flights.
"Whose family does this child belong to? He is simply a genius!"
"It doesn't belong to anyone. I heard that he was born in a Muggle family, and his parents have passed away long ago. He is an orphan.
"How did you know?"
"The minister asked me to investigate. The little girl from his country is also a hemp seed master."
"There must be something wrong with his body. Most children can't even endure Apparition."
"Yes! What a gift!"
When Li Kai walked out of the assessment room, he found that everyone looked at him strangely, but he didn't pay much attention to it. If he does something beyond common sense, he must bear the attention that is beyond ordinary people.
"Your name is Kael'thas Lee, right? My name is Barty Crouch, nice to meet you."
"Sulu Trian, your Apparition is awesome!"
"Dina Sarranchi, nice to meet you."
A group of people took the initiative to shake hands with Li Kai. He smiled and dealt with them one by one without showing any embarrassment.
After everyone came forward to say hello, Fudge smiled and said: "Okay, congratulations, Kael'thas, I will arrange for someone to eliminate your traces, and you can use magic at will from now on. Of course, To avoid being discovered by Muggles."
"Thank you, Mr. Minister, I will pay attention..."
After finishing the matter, Li Kai left the Ministry of Magic directly and apparated near the Leaky Cauldron. He was going to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies for the new school year.
When he walked into the Leaky Cauldron, Hermione, Cassandra, and Ms. Bruns had already arrived.
When he first came to the Ministry of Magic, Li Kai asked Xue Li to deliver a letter to the two girls and make an appointment to go shopping together.
As soon as they met, Hermione asked excitedly: "You said in your letter that you were going to take the exam at the Ministry of Magic? Tell me what the results were like? Did they ask you to defeat some monster? Or did you do a lot of test papers?"
"No, I just used Disapparation three times." Li Kai said with a smile: "This test is not difficult. When you are seventeen, you will definitely be able to pass it easily."
Cassandra and Hermione both envied Li Kai very much, but they knew very well that they were different from Li Kai, and it was impossible for them to learn to apparate now.
"Congratulations, Kyle." Ms. Bruns said with a smile: "I knew you would definitely pass the test. You were able to apparate from the Kingdom of Daxia to the Kingdom of Gaul. This is a unique thing in the wizarding world. You can even do this, and passing the Apparition test is like a piece of cake for you."
The last time she was apparated to Gaul by Li Kai, she was almost frightened.
Although the transportation method of Apparition is very convenient, it requires very high distance control capabilities. The target can neither be too far nor too close.
If the distance is too far and the magic power is not enough, it will easily cause splitting.
If the distance is too close, the starting point and the target point will easily overlap, and either the spell will be separated or the spell will fail. It can be successful when the concentration is high, but the failure rate is extremely high during a tense battle.
Apparating across countries or even continents is a feat that only a being of the Demon Lord level like Dumbledore can accomplish.
However, only Voldemort, who was not afraid of death, would dare to use ultra-short distance and frequent disapparation.
(The original book does not say that Voldemort can apparate over short distances, but he did perform this move in the movie. The author believes that he should be able to do this, at least teleportation, otherwise three archmages of the same level as McGonagall would besiege him. It is impossible to escape all magic)
Li Kai's ability to apparate from the country of Yu to the country of Gaul brought a great shock to Bruns.
Fortunately, Li Kai didn't tell Bruns the destination at that time, otherwise she would definitely not have followed Li Kai and disapparated.
Bruns used the international door key when she returned to Warley Manor. With her ability, she could not use apparation to return to the country.
Disapparating multiple times wouldn't work, because she had never been to many places along the way.
A few people chatted for a while, and then walked from the patio behind the Leaky Cauldron to Diagon Alley.
It's around three o'clock in the afternoon, and Diagon Alley is already very busy.
Li Kai and the others saw many young wizards who were about to enter school. They all had excited smiles on their faces, and their little eyes looked at everything curiously.
Seeing them, Li Kai seemed to see himself last year.
While walking, Hermione suddenly said: "Look, it's Harry, why is he with Hagrid? And he's so disgraced.
Li Kai heard this and looked in the direction guided by Hermione, and he saw Harry and Hagrid.
They had just met the Weasley family, and Li Kai instantly realized that Harry must have called the opposite corner Knockturn Alley just like in the original book [when using Floo powder].
Li Kai sighed secretly in his heart: "It's true that the mud can't support the wall. Even though the plot has changed so much, this idiot will still fall when he should fall.
Now that you see an acquaintance, you must go and say hello.
Li Kai brought the two little girls to the crowd, first greeted Harry and others, and then looked at the rest of the Weasley family.
Percy was very discerning and took the initiative to introduce both parties.
Mr. Weasley looked at Li Kai and Cassandra with a smile, and said kindly: "Ronald always mentioned you. He said that you are the outliers in Slytherin Academy. I didn't believe that there were such friendly children in Slytherin Academy. Seeing you Only later did I realize that I was wrong. Is your name Kael'thas? I heard that you are also a marrow wizard?"
"Yes, Mr. Weasley." Li Kai smiled and said: "I heard that you are very interested in everything about the Muggle world. I think you should live in Muggle society for a while. That will help you understand everything about Muggles. , it's better than asking others everywhere. I also think wizards should know more about the historical changes of Muggle society. Now many wizards' understanding of Muggles is outdated, which is not conducive to the development of wizard society."
"Tsk, tsk, that's a very unique insight. Your suggestion is very good. I also think that I should live in Muggle society for a while." Mr. Weasley seemed to have met a close friend, and his eyes when he looked at Li Kai were so bright and dazzling.
Kassandra glanced at Li Kai and secretly admired him for being so good at getting closer to others.
While Li Kai was chatting with Mr. Weasley, Hermione was not idle either. She used a Cleaning Charm to help remove the dust from Harry's body, and used a Repairing Charm to repair his glasses, and then exchanged stories about what happened to him during the holidays.
"Harry, Ronald, you must have never imagined that Kyle has completed the Apparition test just today, and the Ministry of Magic has removed all traces of him." Hermione showed off loudly, as if these things had happened to her.
Harry had no idea what Apparition was, and he looked completely confused.
Ronald knew a little better. His eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Merlin's old hat! He's only twelve years old! How could he be able to apparate? Percy is already sixteen, and I've only seen him use it twice. And I was taught a lesson by my mother.
Percy heard this and tapped Ronald on the back of the head.
The Weasleys looked at Li Kai in shock, as if ordinary people had seen aliens.
"Oh my God!" Mrs. Weasley said seriously: "Child, you are too bold! At your current age, how can you use Apparition indiscriminately? How could the Ministry of Magic agree to examine you? It's really outrageous!"
"Madam, don't worry, I am very confident in my magic level." Li Kai felt a little moved in his heart. Although Mrs. Weasley was suspected of being nosy, she was still considering his safety after all. He said calmly: "As for magic, Ministry, I asked Dumbledore and Nico Flamel to vouch for it, and Minister Fudge is still very easy to talk to.
"Since it's Dumbledore's guarantee, it must be fine." Mr. Weasley suddenly said: "Molly, we should trust Dumbledore's judgment. If he thinks there is no problem, then it must be fine."
Mrs. Weasley was visibly relieved. She pressed Li Kai's shoulder and said, "Although you have passed the Apparition test, you must be careful when using it, otherwise it is easy to be in danger."
"Thank you ma'am for your concern, but I think
There is no need to be so nervous. Li Kai said helplessly: "You must be calm when using Apparition. The more nervous you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes, right?"
"Well, you're right, okay, then I won't say much more, you just have an idea. Are you going to Gringotts? Do you want to come together?" Mrs. Weasley asked.
"Then let's go together." Li Kai happened to also want to take out all the gold galleons that Mrs. Worley had saved.
Gringotts is safe for others, but for Ji Kai, there is no place safer than his side.
Instead of putting the gold Galleons in the Gringotts vault, why not put them all with you? There is no mobile payment in this world anyway, so why put the money in the bank?
There is no interest and you have to pay for the storage fees. Isn't that just a big injustice?
Li Kai has already discussed it with Mrs. Warley. In the future, the two families will share a vault. Whenever he needs magic coins, he can just take the key and get them. "Mrs. Farley from the province saves magic coins.
Don't make two trips every time.
However, since the treasury is open, there is no need to close the account.
Because there is only a one-time management fee for opening an ordinary vault in Gringotts, otherwise many down-and-out pure-blood families will soon lose their vaults.
For example, the Weasley family only has one Galleung and some scattered coins in their vault.
If the vault has to charge storage fees every year, they might as well just cancel the vault, which might make life easier.
When they arrived at Gringotts, several families went to get the magic coins.
Because there were too many people, the manager of Gringotts sent several staff members to lead them to check in customers.
After completing the withdrawal business, everyone went to Flourish Blossom Bookstore together.
There were so many people going to the bookstore that it was so crowded that there was no gap left.
A huge banner was pulled out in front of the upstairs window:
Gilderoy Lockhart
Signed autobiography for sale
"Magical Me"
BT12:30--4:30
"We can meet him in person!" Hermione exclaimed, looking very excited, "I mean, almost all the books on the list were written by him!"
Almost most of the crowd were witches of Mrs. Weasley's age, with the same excited expressions on their faces as Hermione's.
Even a witch like Ms. Bruns, who has received professional etiquette training, has trouble staying calm at this moment.
Li Kai secretly thought: "That guy Lockhart may not be an excellent wizard, but he must be an outstanding writer.
The reason for this judgment is very simple. There are many people with stories, but not many people who can tell them.
Lockhart is indeed handsome, but there are many in the wizarding world who are more handsome than him.
He definitely wouldn't be able to attract so many fans based on his appearance alone.
Just like in the original book, Lockhart discovered Harry during the book purchase process. He roughly pulled Harry to his side and forced him to take a photo with him, which made the wolf wolf a wave of heat.
Li Kai was filled with admiration. He was definitely a marketing genius in the wizarding world. He suspected that Lockhart might have studied in the Muggle society.
Oh, maybe he is a mixed-blood wizard or a marrow wizard himself.
As Harry came on stage, the audience burst into warm applause.
It was obvious that Harry was very uncomfortable.
Li Kai said with emotion: "Cassandra, have you seen it? This is the trouble of being a teenager and becoming famous!"
Cassandra rolled her eyes at Li Kai. She couldn't figure it out. Don't boys all want to be the center of attention? Why was he not interested in this?
Next, Lockhart gave Harry a set of autographed books, and Harry gave them all to Ginny.
Just as they were about to leave, they saw Draco and his father walking in.
Draco didn't say anything. After all, everyone belonged to the same organization, and the last student got along pretty well.
But Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley locked eyes as soon as they met, and there seemed to be dazzling sparks in their eyes.
"Oops - Arthur Weasley." Mr Malfoy said with a sneer on his face.
"Lucius." Mr. Weasley nodded coldly.
The two people only said a few words before they started fighting. Li Kai could see clearly that Lucius Malfoy took a book from Ginny's cauldron and then used that book as a cover.
, put a black notebook into the crucible.
Hagrid easily separated them due to his height and strength.
Li Kai didn't stop this, the secret room had to be opened, otherwise how could he collect the ancient basilisk?
Chapter 15 New School Year! The Herb Thief At Hogwarts!
Summarize
After completing the purchase, everyone parted ways at the Leaky Cauldron.
Ms. Bruns took Cassandra back to Warley Manor through the fireplace, and Li Kai personally sent Hermione to Mr. Granger's clinic.
Knowing that Li Kai would accompany Hermione to do shopping, the Grangers did not accompany Hermione to Diagon Alley. They sent her to the Leaky Cauldron and left.
There is no one in the stone area now, so Ji can only send Hermione to the clinic.
After chatting with Mr. and Mrs. Granger for a few words at the clinic, and making an appointment with Hermione to go to the station together when school started, Li Kai stood up and left.
He found a hidden corner and used Apparition, and the next moment he arrived at the door of Nico Flamel's shop.
After taking care of the trivial matters, he planned to devote himself to alchemy research.
Time is like running water, and like sand between fingers.
Soon it was the day when Hogwarts started school.
Unfortunately, Li Kai still failed to complete the work of optimizing the elixir.
This kind of thing is actually normal in the wizarding world. The birth of all high-end magic potions is not achieved overnight, and it is impossible to succeed without countless failures.
Li Kai only has master-level alchemy, not god-level alchemy.
Immortality is the domain of God!
It's great that mortals can achieve immortality. If you want to live forever and not grow old at the same time, how can you do it without paying a sufficient price?
"Perenal, take care, I will come to see you during the holidays." When parting, only Perenal came to see Li Kai off, and Luco Flamel still locked himself in the alchemy laboratory.
"Take care of yourself at school, dear." Perenal was a little reluctant. She almost regarded Li Kai as her own grandson, and she had been cooking delicious food for him in different ways during this period.
It's a pity that French food is always like that no matter how you prepare it…
"Okay, it's time for me to go. See you during the holidays."
There is no need to go into details about the process of going to Hogwarts. Fast forward to the sorting ceremony.
Li Kai saw Luna Lovegood. This little girl was one of his favorite characters when he first watched the movie.
Although she is a bit neurotic, it is this unique temperament that Li Kai likes.
"Luna Lovegood, Ravenclaw!"
The Sorting Hat sorted Luna into Ravenclaw without hesitation. She always had a faint smile on her face, but she did not show joy because she was assigned to Ravenclaw.
Li Kai looked towards the Gryffindor and found that Harry and Ronald were not there. He knew without thinking that these two idiots must have been stopped by Dobby and failed to return to school in time.
Maybe now they are charging towards the Whomping Willow in that flying car!
There was no sign of Snape on the teachers' bench. Maybe he had gone to catch the two idiots who delayed the train.
The sorting ceremony ended quickly, and Dumbledore began to deliver a speech again, and by the way, he also introduced Gilderoy Lohat.
Finally, he shouted out the four words with unknown meanings again: Idiot! Cry! Residue! Wreck!
On the Slytherin side, a beautiful little girl asked: "What does this mean?"
Li Kai smiled and said: "If you are an idiot and like to cry, then you are the scum of the wizarding world, and I will twist your head off with my own hands.
"Wow!" The little witch was frightened and cried on the spot.
Everyone was speechless for a while and looked at Li Kai strangely. They didn't expect him to be such a person.
There are a lot of acquaintances missing from the dinner table this year, as Gemma Farley and other seventh grade students have graduated.
To be honest, Li Kai still misses that beautiful big sister. He secretly thought that maybe Gemma Farley could be added to the Dragon Knight organization, give her some tasks, and ask her to help collect some good things worth collecting outside the school. thing.
In addition to Gemma Farley, there are also some suitable candidates among the graduates of other colleges.
The Dragon Knight organization needs to expand in size. It cannot always have just a few small wizards and expect them to grow up and then play a role. That is a kind of dull and stupid behavior. It must continue to absorb new members and grow stronger, so that this organization can play its due role. .
Li Kai agreed to create this organization not for fun, but for his own convenience in the future.
After the dinner party, all junior net masters can go to the common room.
Draco asked strangely: "Why didn't you see Harry and Ronald? Where did those two idiots go?"
"What do you care about them?" Li Kai said casually: "Do you like them? Do you feel uncomfortable if you can't see them for a day?"
"Nonsense!" Draco blushed and said angrily, "I didn't! How could I like them? Don't slander me! He slandered me!"
Crabbe and Goyle also felt that it was very outrageous, but they did not dare to say anything. They were treated docilely by Li Kai in the last school year. The psychological shadow was very stubborn.
This holiday cannot be eliminated.
"Tsk tsk, no, no, why are you so excited?" Li Kai glanced at Draco jokingly, and sat comfortably on the sofa in the lounge to warm himself by the fire.
"I-I'm not excited!" Although Draco was speaking harshly, he was very frightened and kept asking himself why he suddenly cared so much about those two bitter rivals.
Why hasn't the backstab plan been implemented yet?
Do I really like them?
Draco felt a chill and quickly pushed this terrible thought out of his mind.
But sometimes people are like this. The less they want to think of something, the more they can't help but think about it.
That night, Draco had a rare insomnia.
The next morning, a lot of people were talking about Harry and Ronald.
The fact that they drove their car into the Whomping Willow was exposed by some unspeakable existence.
During breakfast, many little wizards were asking about their experiences of driving into trees.
Harry and Ronald were very embarrassed, and they felt very embarrassed by the students' attention, which was not a good thing after all.
Li Kai thought silently, that car can also be collected. It seems that he will take time to go to the Forbidden Forest again recently.
While I was thinking, the owl came.
A swarm of owls flew over the dining table, dropping package after package.
Ronald received a roaring letter. Mrs. Weasley's terrifying roar echoed through the auditorium. Everything on the table was shaken and started dancing. Many people were watching the excitement.
At the beginning of the new school year, Li Kai's class was still the same as at the end of the previous school year. He seemed to be asleep but not awake, and his magic gradually opened up the Emerald Dream.
Zhiqiang hasn't woken up from his sleep yet. His appearance has changed again, and his size has more than doubled.
Although Li Kai is very busy during the holidays, he still occasionally takes some time to pay attention to Zhiqiang's changes.
Today's Xeon has completely transformed into a new dragon species. From the outside, it has no connection with the Norse Dragon.
It has eight pairs of sharp dragon horns on its head, two long dragon beards grow next to its nose, and just below the dragon beards are two fangs like giant swords.
Because its eyes are tightly closed, the color of its pupils cannot be seen, and a large amount of sparks are ejected from both nostrils every time it breathes.
Its original scales were gray-black, but now they have been completely transformed into gold, and the entire body seems like a statue made of gold.
The limbs and fleshy wings are thick and powerful, making it feel like it can tear everything apart easily.
Li Kai feels that Zhiqiang is about to wake up, because its appearance is already quite perfect, and there is probably nothing that can be changed.
The reason why he hasn't awakened yet may be because he still needs some transformation.
In the first week, the professors did not teach much new content. Most of the time was spent on letting the little wizards get familiar with each other, communicate and adapt.
the second week.
The first class of the second grade was herbal medicine. Professor Sprouse taught everyone how to transplant mandrake.
This batch of mandrakes are newly planted and are still weak seedlings. Their lethality is not great.
Although Li Kai is already very familiar with this herb, this is the first time he has seen it, because mandrake is not a common herb. Its root is a powerful restorative that can transform people who are transformed or under a spell. The person returns to his original state.
"Everyone takes a pair of earmuffs. When I ask you to put on the earmuffs, you must cover your ears tightly. When it is safe to take off the earmuffs, I will hold up two fingers. Once you put on the earmuffs, ." Professor Sprout scanned everyone sternly, making sure that every ten little wizards were wearing earmuffs.
After everyone put on earmuffs, she put on a pair of fluffy pink earmuffs for herself, then rolled up her sleeves and firmly grasped a blade of grass, pulling it up hard.
What was pulled out of the soil was not grass roots, but a very ugly little baby with leaves growing on its head. Its skin was light green with spots on it.
The little thing was shouting at the top of his lungs.
Professor Sprout explained some precautions and then let the little wizards operate on their own.
Draco followed Professor Sprout and pulled the mandrake out of the flower pot, and then teased its baby-like roots with his fingers. As a result, his finger was accidentally bitten, and it took a lot of effort to remove it. The little baby broke free from his mouth, causing many people to laugh.
Li Kai suddenly had a whim. Books, miscellaneous items, and treasures can be collected, but can potions and herbs be collected?
First of all, potions cannot be collected, at least those potions that Li Kai once made cannot be collected.
So, can herbs be collected?
Li Kai thinks he can give it a try, but some problems must be solved to collect herbal medicine.
The core operation of collection lies in proper preservation, but it is very troublesome to preserve these strange herbs.
As far as mandrakes are concerned, artificially raised mandrakes require careful care. They need to be repotted and fertilized every once in a while. Without enough time, they can easily die.
If they are cured to death, they can no longer be considered as collections. So how can we ensure the survival rate of herbal medicines?
"Is it okay to make a specimen directly? No, a specimen is a specimen, and a living body is a living body. There is a difference in rewards.
Li Kai had obtained some magical animal specimens before, but the rewards for collecting those magical animal specimens were very poor. They did not even add attribute points, only some knowledge related to them.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of the Emerald Dream.
There are a lot of messy plants in the Emerald Dream, and those plants are all ordinary plants, and they come from another world.
So, is it possible to transplant some magic potions and plant them into the Emerald Dream?
If this plan succeeds, then Ji Kai may never have to worry about running out of magic potions in the future.
"You can buy some magic seeds later and sprinkle them directly into the Emerald Dream. The Emerald Dream is full of magic, and maybe those seeds can grow normally without any worries.
…Please give me flowers...
Li Kai calculated silently and did not stop working on his hands. He easily completed the task assigned by Sprout.
There was a History of Magic class in the afternoon. The little wizards all fell asleep after listening to it, and even Cassandra and Hermione couldn't bear it anymore.
As soon as the two classes were over, the little wizards ran out like crazy.
"Kyle, do you want to go to the library?" Hermione asked enthusiastically: "I heard that the library has some new books, do you want to go and check them out?"
"I won't go, you can go and have a look."
Li Kai is not very interested in reading books now, but Hogwarts can
There were not many books that aroused his interest, but they were out-of-print books that were not available outside, and most of them were in the restricted book area.
Dumbledore would definitely not agree to him taking those books away, so going to the library was in vain.
Hermione was a little disappointed and could only go with Cassandra.
Li Kai found a place, took out the parchment and quill, and cast magic on them to make them move on their own.
He wants to write letters to those students who have graduated, inviting them to join the Dragon Knight organization.
Everyone gets an invitation letter, and those who want to join can sign a contract, and those who don't want to join don't care.
Opportunities are before us, and only a few can seize them.
night.
Li Kai left the dormitory secretly. He first came to the greenhouse, took a pot of mandrake, and transplanted it into the Emerald Dream.
As a result, a system prompt immediately rang in his ears.
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the perfect collection "Mandrake" and the reward "Petrified Resistance". ]
Petrification resistance: When looking at a basilisk, you are immune to most damage and will not die from petrification. After being petrified, the recovery speed is accelerated. The stronger the physique, the stronger the resistance.
"Huh? This reward——is very good!"
Li Kai was very happy. The basilisk's ability was very strange, and for many people it was almost impossible to guard against it.
Staring at anyone to death is a super killing move in a fantasy world, let alone a low-demon world like this.
After digesting the petrification resistance, Li Kai suddenly had a deeper understanding of the basilisk's abilities.
There are three ways that the basilisk kills people. The first is to wrap people up with their bodies, the second is to bite or poison people to death, and the third is to completely petrify people by looking at them.
The first two are relatively easy to solve, but the third is more troublesome.
Anyone who looks directly at the basilisk will turn into real stone in an instant.
In this case, no medicine can cure it.
If you look at the basilisk through indirect channels such as mirrors, glass, reflections, etc., it will only be partially petrified and the person attacked will not die on the spot. You can use
Mandrake heals.
It is said that the petrification spell was invented based on the ability of the basilisk, but few wizards can directly turn people to stone to death.
Li Kai's newly acquired petrification resistance allows him to be completely unafraid of the basilisk.
Think about it, how happy it is to be able to fight the basilisk with your arms and legs free?
After tasting the sweetness, Li Kai began to shuttle between various greenhouses. He picked up all the herbs that were easier to grow. As for the herbs that were more demanding to grow, he picked them up.
None moved.
After all, the environment of the Emerald Dream is very different from this world, and not all herbs can be transplanted and survive.
Li Kai transplanted a lot of herbs into it, but some herbs had no prompts at all, which meant that the transplantation failed and he could not get any rewards. He had to take them out and put them back in their original places.
Every time a herb is successfully transplanted, he will leave some gold galleons as compensation.
After working most of the night, I gained a lot.
For any herb that is successfully collected, the system will reward the characteristics related to it.
Accelerated self-healing, accelerated recovery, enhanced defense, enhanced speed, enhanced strength...
When Li Kai returned to the dormitory, he felt like he had been reborn.
Early the next morning, Professor Sprout came to the greenhouse to check. She was surprised to find that many herbs were missing in small amounts.
And some gold galleons were left wherever the herbs were lost, ranging from three to five to as many as ten or twenty.
"Oh my God! Who did this?"
Sprout didn't know why, so he immediately called other professors to discuss it.
"I don't know who did this. These herbs have always been safe and few people would touch them." Sprout said inexplicably: "Many herbs are not mature. They are just
Who needs them when they can be used as teaching tools?"
"This matter must have been committed by a certain student," Professor Snape said with a straight face, "It must be investigated strictly, otherwise similar things may happen in the future."
"But how do we check? We can't see any traces here, and there's no breath left." Professor McGonagall said solemnly: "The person who did this is very skilled, and he is most likely a habitual criminal!"
"I don't think so. Just ignore it. It didn't cause any damage anyway. Maybe someone just needs them? Anyway, he left compensation. We
Just pretend this didn't happen. "Dumbledore smiled. He picked up a gold galleon and looked at it. He seemed to have guessed who did it.
"Okay," Professor Sprout said helplessly: "No matter who it is, I just hope he can take good care of those little guys."
