Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 829: My brain was caught by the door
Chapter 830 The brain was caught by the door
(It is recommended to wait until I finish the revision tomorrow and read it again. After the revision, there will be no paragraph, and the latter paragraph will be rewritten at that time.)
"Cough, do you want to go out shopping together at night?"
Albert coughed lightly, trying to divert everyone's attention, so as not to make everyone embarrassed by the topic just now.
"It's not too safe here at night, especially for outsiders." When Kathleen spoke, she deliberately lowered her voice: "Also, many of the goods on Kahler Square are made by local people. The fake and inferior products prepared by wizard tourists are expensive and unreliable.”
"No matter where you go, there is a phenomenon of slaughter." Albert is not surprised, he has seen this kind of thing a lot in his past life.
"Catherine actually likes you very much!" Valeria winked at Albert.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little weird.
"I'm honored." Albert nodded and smiled at Kathleen.
He felt that Valeria in front of him wanted to do something.
Catherine didn't refute, but just stared at Valeria dissatisfied, as if saying: "It's okay if you're in heat yourself, don't pull me into the water."
Isobel was very calm throughout the whole process and didn't care about Valeria's little thoughts. She actually saw that Valeria and Kathleen had a good impression of Albert a long time ago.
But so what?
Even if Valeria figured it out, that's it.
For a while, everyone was silent.
The strange atmosphere at the scene made Albert speechless. Could this be the legendary Shura Field?
In the past, I actually wanted to find two or three girlfriends, and my brain was definitely caught by the door.
The arrival of Sierra and Nicholas broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Long time no see, Mr. Nicholas." Albert couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and took the initiative to stand up and hug the old man in front of him.
"I heard that you won the Barnabus Finkley Gold Medal for Excellent Spellcasting Technique a while ago." The old man sat down beside his granddaughter, smiled and said to Albert, "At your current rate of winning, and In a few years, the international awards will be collected. However, I am more curious now, what alchemy results do you plan to use to take away the gold award of the International Alchemy Congress?"
"I made a little discovery in the research of mandrakes." Albert took out the mandrake wine and flying ointment again. Then, briefly explain the effect of the two things to the two old people.
After listening, Sera and Nicholas exchanged glances, and Sera finally spoke.
"There is one thing, I think you need to know that participating in the International Alchemy Conference means that you need to provide the formula and related information of the research results. You should know what this means!" Sera said in a low voice: " We recommend that you display both the mandrake and the flying ointment, and then take only the flying ointment to the International Alchemy Congress."
"Why?" Valeria asked in confusion. She felt that 80% of the time there was something tricky they didn't know about.
"Because if you provide the formula, it means that other alchemists will soon know the alchemy formula. Although the Egyptian Alchemy Research Center will apply for a patent, the patent is actually useless, because other people can produce it privately, and It is almost impossible for those who have lost interests to hold those guys accountable across borders." It's not hard for Albert to guess the reason. However, he doesn't really care about these semi-finished products. There is room for improvement in Mandrake wine and flying ointment. If you can use the semi-finished products to complete the panel task, it is actually a good deal.
"There is another reason, wizards before the age of 30. They can only win the Gold Award for pioneering contributions, while wizards over the age of 30 can win the International Alchemy Award. Although the two awards give medals and bonuses It's all the same, but the meaning is very different."
"Why separate the awards?" Valeria asked suspiciously: "Is it to give young people a chance to win."
"That's right, that's it." Sera nodded and said, "It's a chance for young people, and it also saves some face for other alchemists. If the interests of the two sides do not conflict, the International Alchemy Conference will be more harmonious."
"Of course." Nicholas looked strange, "There is another reason for young people to share the results of alchemy."
Everyone looked at Nicholas, waiting for him to finish.
"Actually, many wizards don't want to hand over their research results, especially those more profitable inventions. You must know that there is nothing more profitable than a monopoly in this world. Especially mandrake wine, believe me, many wizards would love it, and that means a lot of wealth."
"If you want to sell this kind of wine in America, you can find Catherine. Anyway, you don't know it's your first time working together." Nicholas was very satisfied with Albert, and even thought about matching him with Catherine .
Unfortunately, after Kathleen became his heir, this was impossible.
"I'll consider it." Albert nodded.
However, he is not ready to think about these things just yet.
Valeria winked at Kathleen, she also felt that Nicholas also intended to match the two of them and deepen the relationship between the two.
As far as Valeria knows, Albert and Catherine not only collaborated on the development of beauty potions, but also in the sale of Buffy brain boosters, among other reasons. It's just that Kathleen never said it, which is why she suspected that the two of them were tricky.
"By the way, here's your entry ticket to the International Alchemy Competition." Sera took out a piece of parchment from her pocket and handed it to Albert, then reminded: "I'm afraid you have to go early today. Go to bed, because you need to get up early tomorrow morning, about five o'clock, is there any problem?"
"I want to buy some specialties here. It would be better if I could buy a few books on alchemy and go back," said Albert. He felt that when he came to Egypt, there were some things that should not be missed.
"If you want to buy alchemy items, you can go to the black market here, which is open every Saturday afternoon. If you want to go in, an acquaintance must recommend it to the bar owner." Nun Russ introduced Albert: "Of course, you also You can go to Kahaler Square. Well, near the Muggle Liberation Square. However, I suggest you to use Floo powder directly from here, it will be much faster, although it will cost a little money, but I think that is the right amount of money It's nothing to you."
"Are you going together?" Isobel invited Valeria and Catherine. "
"No, we've already shopped." Kathleen refused.
"I think it would be good to go around again." Valeria said, "Last time, I passed by during the day, and I left after a quick stroll. I heard that there might be a circus over there at night. perform."
"Who told you, yourself?"
In the evening, everyone dine in the tavern. The main food here is flatbread. It is said that they will add some grilled meat and fresh vegetables to it. A grey-green thick soup with a good taste, a bit like mixed vegetable soup, but a little ugly, usually eaten with flatbread.
Albert prefers grilled chicken. It is filled with green wheat and rice. The taste is very good. It is similar to chicken wings and rice.
The drink is roselle tea, which is said to have beauty effects, so the price is a bit more expensive than black tea. It is said that a small amount of honey will be added in it to make the taste sweet and sour, and many girls like to drink it.
During the meal, Catherine also mentioned that roselle essence is used as a beauty potion in Egypt.
After having dinner, they sat there chatting for a while, and the four of them went to the bartender together. Under the guidance of the service desk, they went to Kahalle Square through a fireplace, for which they paid a gold coin.
The Kahaler Square is quite lively at night. Oil lamps are lit on both sides of the street. Many hawkers are setting up stalls on the roadside, selling some messy things. Tell Albert directly that 80% of the hawkers are faking people stuff.
It is a pity that there is no circus performance in the square today. However, when Albert found a food stall, he was even more surprised to find that roasted sweet potatoes were being sold here.
However, since it was not long after dinner, they only bought two.
"It tastes very good, much better than a baked potato." Isobel took the cheese-covered sweet potato from Albert and took a bite and commented.
"You can ask the house-elves to make them for you, but it may be more difficult to buy sweet potatoes in the UK." Albert thinks he can hire Dobby to help him grow things in the future. It's best to build a greenhouse, so you don't have to worry about running out of vegetables and fruits in the future.
didn't know that this was the way it was on weekdays, so Albert found a bookstore.
However, what disappointed him was that there weren't many books here that he wanted. The so-called "Introduction to Alchemy", "Successful Black Magic" and other books, he had flipped through them and bought them back Just pure waste of money. In the end, Albert only bought a few high-level books that he was interested in. It was not a waste of time, because the situation in the magic item store made him even more disappointed. Although alchemy was very developed, there was not much new in the store. s things.
Most Alberts can basically guess the principle after seeing it, and the last few people went back with some snacks.
In addition to Albert bought a bunch of books, plus a few suspicious Defence Against the Dark Arts items in the magic shop, Isobel bought a bottle of roselle essence to make a beauty potion and the pile in the hands of the two girls Gourmet too.
"I told you a long time ago that there is nothing interesting there at all." Kathleen said calmly.
"You're right." Albert did not refute, but nodded, "Let's go back to rest first, see you tomorrow."
Looking at the closed door, Valeria, who took a bite of the barbecue, sighed softly, "Looks like we have no chance."
"You don't have a chance." Kathleen said, "Go back and rest. You have to get up early tomorrow. If you can't get up, don't blame me for throwing you over here and go to the International Alchemy Conference by yourself."
"Don't be so ruthless!" After Valeria closed the door, she looked helplessly at her friend and said, "Anyway, it's not that you don't plan to marry, you care about these things, if you don't marry, it doesn't mean you don't want a man, you have to Find a suitable one, do you plan to solve it with your fingers in the future?"
"There's nothing wrong with strengthening your relationship with Albert. You don't have a business relationship. Further strengthening your relationship can make you closer. As for the future, you can also have a child, and he won't be responsible anyway." Lelia persuaded.
"You are very enthusiastic to match us?" Catherine looked at her friend with strange eyes.
"No way, Isobel is the first love~IndoMTL.com~Albert himself is the kind of rational guy." Valeria muttered softly, "But as long as there is a first time, there is a second time. I'll have a chance."
"Is it really necessary to do this?" Kathleen felt that she knew her friend again.
"It is necessary." Valeria said seriously, "I long for money, I hope to maintain my beauty, I fantasize about having an excellent, gentle and considerate man, living a free and comfortable life, and doing what I like every day. things.”
"And now, Albert shows me that what I want is close at hand, why don't I pursue it? I won't fight Isobel because I can't win, but so what if I'm a lover , I don't care anyway." Valeria said calmly, "Ukraine is a terrible place, and if you've been there, you'll know why I did it."
Well, it feels like my brain is really caught in the door. I really shouldn't write the two games together. And he actually wanted to write about the magic world of Egypt, but found that he couldn't write well. I deleted a chapter yesterday and another chapter today.
Alas, if you can't write well, you won't be forced. I'll make do with it today. If I don't update it for two days, it will probably be sprayed. I suggest you wait until I finish editing it tomorrow.
