Alchemy professor at Hogwarts

Chapter 204 The Hobbies of the Atlanteans

"How did you get hurt?" Hardy looked directly into Dumbledore's eyes.

"When I tried to activate the Portkey with the Slytherin locket, something hit me from the other end."

Dumbledore still had the same casual tone, "It's nothing, Hardy, I was injured more seriously than this when I was young."

"All I care about is how bad your injury is," Hardy said deadpan. "Give me the Slytherin locket, and I'll do the rest."

Dumbledore blinked, he wanted to say something else, but Hardy's attitude was so firm that he could only chuckle and nod his head.

"You've got to learn from me, a bad old man," said Dumbledore. "Never underestimate what Slytherin left behind."

Hardy put the locket into the finger box, turned and left, and said, "Of course, so I will choose a method that is safe enough, otherwise it won't take so long."

Back in his lounge, Hardy started to spread out the blueprints on the oak table after feeding Agnes's small half bucket of raspberry berries.

The yellowed parchment was full of complicated circles and lines. This was what Hardy exchanged with Grant, the president of the British branch of the Alchemy Association, with the sword of victory in the unfinished oath.

Not long ago, during exchanges between the Alchemy Associations of various European countries, someone pointed out the decline of the British Alchemy Association and assigned the responsibility to Grant himself.

In order to try his best to restore the international image of the British Alchemist Association, Grant had to borrow the Sword of Oath of Victory from Hardy to prove that the British alchemists headed by him still possess superb skills and outstanding imagination.

As rent, Grant gave Hardy a piece of parchment that was nearly crumbled.

It records that it is said to be an alchemical product that the Atlanteans were keen to use——

Stand-in knight.

According to the ancient records excavated from the seabed relics of various countries, the people of Atlantis were keen on duels, and once built a duel field that was half the size of the city.

With the help of stand-in knights, Atlanteans can experience bloody fighting and hand-to-hand combat without harming their lives.

However, the cost of a stand-in knight is quite high, far from being owned and consumed by commoners, so this kind of activity almost became the privilege of nobles later on.

The refining materials for a stand-in knight are no more complicated than the Sword of Oath of Victory, and the difficulty is even reduced a few more.

The only trouble is that due to the wear and tear of the years, many details on this design drawing are blurred, which brings great trouble to the restoration of the stunt knight.

Constant trial and error cost time, effort and money, so this blueprint has not been of much value in Grant's hands.

But soon, Agnes brought a second huge piece of parchment for Hardy from the cupboard.

This is something Hardy commissioned Charlie Rozier to get through his Muggle channel not long ago.

The archaeological research on Atlantis has always been the focus of Muggle scholars. Originally, Hardy only tentatively asked Charlie Rozier to help collect it.

Unexpectedly, he actually found another design drawing of a stand-in knight, although this one was more blurred.

But with two design drawings as a reference, Hardy was suddenly full of confidence.

At most half a year, that is, when Harry and the others entered the fourth grade, he would be able to complete the refining of the stand-in knight, and then begin to explore the secrets that Slytherin tried to keep.

In the next few days, everyone was immersed in a busy rhythm.

Tonks, Penelope and Pince consulted a large number of library books, and finally found useful information in a banned book of "The Rebellious Fairy".

About a few decades after the establishment of Hogwarts, there was a famous goblin craftsman who made a Freya magic mirror, which was once smashed.

However, the book "The Rebel Fairy" did not mention the function of Freya's magic mirror and the number of fragments after it was shattered.

Tonks and the others couldn't tell whether this was what Catwoman Keira was collecting.

On the other hand, since Hermione got the password of "Carousel", she still spends her spare time in the library. In addition to completing her exaggerated learning goals, she also continues to search for records about "Horn Ring" .

Both Harry and Ron have forgotten about Hagrid and Buckbeak, and they are asking Luna for help through Ginny, hoping to solve Ron's information cube.

"Why not Hermione?" said Ginny. "Everyone knows that she solved the Rubik's Information Cube before Vanessa, the senior."

"I will never beg her!" Ron sat in the auditorium, waving a knife and fork angrily, "We can do the same without her!"

Ginny gave Ron a big roll of the eyes, she wasn't going to say yes, but Harry kept asking.

"Okay, okay, I can ask for you," Ginny had to compromise, "but I can't guarantee it. Luna often leaves early and returns late recently. It seems to be Professor Ollivander's business."

On Thursday night, Harry and Ron were browsing the magic forum in the common room, and Vanessa and Cedric had just come out of Wonderland.

The big guys are all asking them questions on the magic forum, wondering what's in Wonderland.

[Cedric Diggory answered] The instance Vanessa and I entered was the village of the returnees. To be honest, Vanessa didn't like it, she was terrified.

[Student Snape will never teach answers] Oh, Returner Village!Tell me what's in it?Is it fun?
[Cedric Diggory replied] Uh...maybe not very popular with girls, that village is full of ghosts, it's quite scary, you need to complete some tasks.

[Professor Ollivander's (student) Vanessa replied] I think that must be the advice that Professor Binns gave to Professor Ollivander, and it probably told all the horror stories it knew.

[Forever pure blood question] Returner village? Sounds terrible, can I choose the other two copies?
[Quicker Luna answers] No, the dungeon is entered randomly, and the task of the first dungeon has not been completed, so you cannot enter the next dungeon.

[Eternal pure blood answers] Damn it!

[Answers more powerfully than a troll] Damn it!

[Answer what's for dinner] Damn it!

……

Just then, Hermione crawled in through the passage.

"Look, the clever Miss Granger is back. I guess she has already solved a Rubik's Cube by relying on her ingenuity?" Ron said in a strange way.

Harry pushed him, then pointed at Hermione.

"Go ahead," said Hermione, her lips trembling with a letter in her hand, "I just wanted to let you guys know... the trial was brought up, and Hagrid lost the case, and Buckbeak was going to be executed." .”

"He—he sent it," said Hermione, holding up the letter.

Harry took the letter. The parchment was damp, and in places the ink was blurred by large tears, making it difficult to read.

Dear Hermione:
The trial was brought up, and we lost, with Buckbeak's execution date to be determined.

I will never forget all the help you have given us.

Hagrid
"They can't do that," said Harry. "No! Buckbeak is in no danger."

"Malfoy's father threatened the committee to do this." Hermione wiped her eyes and said, "You know what he is, the committee is a bunch of stupid old people, they are afraid, but they can appeal, always can, it's just I don't see any hope... nothing will change."

"It's going to change," said Ron furiously. "It won't be all yours this time, Hermione. I'll help too."

The Fat Lady's portrait was opened again, and Professor McGonagall walked in, and she returned Harry's Information Cube.

"Both Flitwick and Professor Ollivander have tested it, and everything about this Rubik's Cube is normal."

Watching Professor McGonagall leave, Harry looked at Ron and Hermione again.

He said, "Maybe, compared to Hagrid's troubles, what we quarreled before is insignificant, isn't it?"

Ron grabbed his hair and shrugged for a while, while Hermione nodded with red eyes.
