Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 366 Life is still ordinary

""New application of scroll magic? A new product that changes the magic world!", "The Gospel of Squib - Magic Cards", "The Riker Family's Secret Weapon Revealed", "Under the Impact of Magic Scrolls, Where Should the Future of the Wizarding World Go? ?》.”

Connor flipped through the newspapers of the past few days, shook his head and smiled: "Haha, it seems that my family is going to be famous again. The publicity effect of this may be even better than the publicity at the Monster Cup."

"Oh? Are your magic cards about to be released?" Nico Flamel, who was refining a small magic stone next to Connor, asked casually.

Connor is now in Nico Flamel's Gem Corridor, and Arturia is helping Nico refine the small magic stone. Although the real magic stone cannot be refined, there is no problem in refining more small ones, eh , the more the merrier.

Connor put down the newspaper and said: "No, there is a small problem. My magic cards cannot be sold for the time being..."

"what is the problem?"

"Emmm, it's all political nonsense. It's so annoying that I don't care. By the way, Teacher Nico, don't you usually pay attention to the news?"

"Ha, are those so-called big families causing trouble again? That's really boring. Haha, as for why I don't pay attention to the news? Sometimes the news I hear, when I come back to my senses after doing the experiment, I don’t know how many years have passed..." Nico shrugged:

"I have lived for a long time, and many things that are important to the world are nothing more than that to me. My perception of time has become dull, and there is nothing I can do about it."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I can't understand your feelings." Connor chuckled, "That's still a bit too far for me."

"In fact, it's not that far away." Nico threw the newly crafted little magic stone to Connor and said with a smile: "With the magic stone here, age is just a number to us."

Connor took the crystal clear magic stone, rolled his eyes, and asked: "Teacher Nico, how much [Azot] does it take to make a bottle of elixir of life?"

Nico glanced at Connor and smiled: "It will consume a lot. If you want to mass-produce the elixir, it is impossible. The magic stone also requires [equivalent exchange]. I Hundreds of years of life were produced in a few years by tens of millions of people. With the current population of the wizarding world, there are even fewer elixirs that can be produced."

Connor thought thoughtfully: "So, using the magic stone to produce the elixir of life is a bit of a disadvantage."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

Connor rubbed the ruby ​​in his hand and said, "Because if you use the magic stone as a source of magic power, you won't be able to use it up at all. The price-performance ratio is much higher."

Nico touched his chin: "If used as a source of magic power, it is indeed an inexhaustible energy source, but what do you want to use it for? We wizards don't lack magic power at all."

Ha, the great alchemist's vision also has limitations. Connor laughed: "There are so many things that can be done. Teacher Nico, can we make one to extract the magic power in the magic stone?" A magic item that converts into other energy?”

Nico thought for a while and nodded: "Of course there is no problem, it is quite simple to do it."

Connor chuckled: "Then our Hogwarts Express may not need to burn coal anymore. How about, Mr. Nico, let's make a magic engine together!"

Yes, the Hogwarts Express is actually powered by coal. This thing is essentially an old-fashioned Muggle train, except that the people shoveling the coal and adding fire are magic rather than people.

"Oh! Is it something like a Muggle steam engine or internal combustion engine? I've learned about it before, and it doesn't seem difficult to make it." Nico's eyes lit up and he became a little interested, but he quickly shook his head. , looked at Connor and said: "Let's not mention this for now, Connor, how is your alchemy learning going?"

Now, as Nico's chief disciple, Connor also has his own alchemy laboratory in the Gem Corridor. Connor stood in front of his desk and spread his hands and responded: "Oh, as for alchemy, I can already use my own very well. Azote is gone, look”

Connor took out a piece of Silver Sickle from his pocket. He spread his hands. The Silver Sickle that was originally lying in his palm slowly floated up and hovered in his palm. Then the silver coin began to melt, shape, and solidify. After a moment, A silver arrowhead appeared in Connor's hand. The arrowhead had a cold metallic luster, giving people an indestructible feeling.

Connor used alchemy to refine a silver Sickle into another alloy.

"Yes, yes, you can indeed use [Azot] very well." Nico nodded with satisfaction: "You are indeed very talented in alchemy."

"Excellent. Maybe it's because I'm good at transfiguration. Once I understand the characteristics of various metals, it's pretty easy to transform them."

"I just discovered now that I have actually been using Azote when I was painting magic paintings. After understanding the essence of alchemy, even ordinary spell casting has become more and more comfortable." Connor snapped his fingers, and the The silver arrow turned into a silver ring and was caught by Connor.

"And I feel that not only my spellcasting ability has improved a lot, but also some of my previous ideas for making magic props have become clearer. Alchemy has opened the door to a new world for me..."

"Haha, alchemy is a more advanced magic than transfiguration. If you learn alchemy well, you can do whatever you want in this world." Nico said proudly: "The alchemy information I have here is enough for you to learn it for a long time, whether it's gems or gems." It’s still dragon’s blood. I have the detailed information here. By the time you finish studying the books I have here, your alchemy will be almost mastery. I’m very optimistic about you, Connor.”

"It all depends on the teacher's cultivation." Connor chuckled. Alchemy is the same as transfiguration. If you want to learn it, you must have a deep understanding of the nature of a certain substance. The more knowledge you have, the stronger your alchemy will be. .It feels similar to those courses in polymer chemistry and atomic physics, which are profound and difficult to understand.

"By the way, Teacher Nico, I've been researching a magic prop recently. I want to make a magic paintbrush that will allow wizards who can't draw magic to draw magic paintings. The core of this prop is actually the use of Azo Special, combined with the alchemy technique, I am almost finished with the finished product, teacher, please help me take a look."

Overall, Connor's life was not affected much after the factory incident.

————

That night, when Connor returned home from experimenting with the Apparition, he happened to run into Fred and George who had arrived at the cabin in the woods.

"Connor!? Have you learned how to apparate!?" Fred's mouth was so big that he could eat a dragon egg.

"Uh-huh, I just learned this a few days ago. Don't tell anyone about it. I don't want to receive a warning from the Ministry of Magic." Connor shrugged and asked, "Why are you here to see me?"

"Oh, Connor, do you want to ride with us to the Muggle world? Drive my dad's car!" George winked, hinting wildly.

"Huh? Why go to the Muggle world? Are you free? I don't have time." Connor waved his hand and was about to refuse.

Fred said quickly: "Don't worry! We are going to do serious things!"

George nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, serious business!"

Connor looked at the two of them suspiciously and raised his eyebrows: "What are you going to do?"

The twins looked at each other, and Fred said with an exaggerated expression: "We suspect that poor Harry has been kidnapped!"

"That's right! Harry hasn't responded to our Facebook messages for a month, and he hasn't even replied! We can't contact him at all, something must have happened to him!"

Connor suddenly realized that it would be July 31 in a few days, and Harry's birthday was coming soon. Is this the second year plot about to begin? But Harry is no longer a scumbag, and he is still in the same situation as before?

"So you plan to...?"

"We're going to drive out and pick Harry up!"

"Yes! Just use dad's car! Fly over!"

"Connor! Come hang out with us!" x2
