Librarian at Hogwarts

Breakfast is over.

The four of them left separately.

Newt and Leta went to morning class this morning.

And Neil continued to go to the Quidditch pitch to familiarize himself with the pitch knowledge. According to his progress, today should be about preventing and handling safety accidents.

Ignat returned to the library and started his daily work.

With the help of the two Nifflers, Igno quickly organized all the books.

He liked the way the books were arranged, which made him feel very happy.

Ignat hummed a tune and glanced at the time.

At this point, it is the time for the little wizards to go to class.

Normally, at this time, basically no little wizards would come to the library to study.

Ignat took out the triangular cardboard from his arms, which was Chapman's magical equipment.

Ignat gave this equipment a name, 'Three-ray Shield'.

He held the three-pointed shield in his hand and observed it repeatedly.

Igno wants to improve this piece of magic equipment.

This is a difficult job because you have to have a clear and thorough understanding of all the subtle structures of the magic equipment you want to improve.

During the modification process, if there is a slight deviation, the power of the magic equipment will be greatly reduced.

Igno's alchemy, in fact, his theoretical knowledge is quite rich.Of course, it only stays at the theoretical stage.

After all, he was so poor that he almost lived on the street. How could he have the money to carry out this gold-selling experiment?

In the wizarding world, an alchemist once loudly declared that theoretical knowledge is the most useless in the magical science of alchemy.

Of course, saying it is the most useless is actually an overly absolute statement and sounds too arbitrary.

However, this also shows that theoretical knowledge is indeed useless.

Because alchemy must be practiced in practice, and it requires the investment of real money to achieve results.

But in Igno's view, theoretical knowledge is actually quite important.

With his current knowledge of alchemy, he can use several methods to use magic raw materials of different qualities to achieve the same effect with tempered magic equipment.

This point is very critical.

This means that if the principle of a magic equipment is mastered by Igno, he can use a lower-cost method to create a magic equipment with the same effect.

But the principle of magic equipment is the most difficult aspect to overcome.

Many alchemists will try their best to hide their tempering techniques.

This is an alchemist's biggest trump card, and of course it cannot be revealed casually.

Ignat looked at the three-pointed shield for a long time. To be honest, he didn't have a clear idea yet.

It's like, the threads of my thoughts haven't been sorted out yet.

Igno is going to find someone right now, Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron.

In the early morning, the Broken Ax Bar was empty, not a single person.

Igno pushed open the door of the bar, and the smell of alcohol hit his face.

It seems that there was a carnival here last night.Ignat said in his heart.

"It's so early in the morning! Who is it? Who would come to the bar so early in the morning? We're closed!"

A loud voice came from near the bar.

Then a rough palm slapped on the bar, and the boss Tom stood up.

"Oh, it's you! Igno!"

A smile immediately appeared on Tom's face.

He originally wanted to teach the unscrupulous person who disturbed his sweet dream so early in the morning a lesson.

"I knew it, I knew it!"

"Only you and Neil, that boy, are the only two boys who will show up at this time and disturb my sweet dream!"

Tom spit on the ground, walked to the window, and washed his face with water in the basin.

With water droplets still hanging on his beard, he had already picked up a glass of fizzy beer and drank it.

Of course, he also poured a glass for Igno.

Igno didn't refuse, took the beer, and took a big sip.

The cool taste of wheat immediately went down from the mouth to the stomach.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Don't tell me you're just passing by, you just happened to come see my old friend."

Tom smiled and sat down.

Then he dragged a chair. This chair had already been stained black, and some filthy things could even be seen on it.

"you do not mind."

Tom glanced, then looked at Ignat.

Ignat took the chair naturally and sat down.

"What's this? I've been under the bridge in the smelly ditch before."

After hearing this, Tom laughed loudly, and then patted Igno on the shoulder.

"Okay, tell me what's going on."

Ignat took out the three-pointed shield without any hesitation.

He knew that Tom felt like a trustworthy friend.

"It's a piece of magic equipment!"

Tom's eyes lit up.

He took the magical equipment from Igno's hand, held it in mid-air, and looked up at it.

"Yes, half a ton of mithril, earth dragon's blood...well, mixed with a little bit, it seems to be part of some kind of animal..."

Tom's eyes were very vicious, and he could guess the rough raw materials of this magic equipment in no time.

In fact, this is not a rare talent, it is simply an ability that can be acquired with money.

You know, Tom himself is actually an extremely experienced alchemist.

He was as sensitive to alchemical ingredients as, to use his inappropriate metaphor, a dog to the natural smell of food.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"As far as I know, if this piece of magic equipment is on the market, it will not be a problem to sell it for tens of gold galleons. Of course, if you meet some inexperienced wizards, it is probably possible to sell it for a hundred pieces."

After Tom finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then burped.

Ignat looked at Tom and said.

"I don't want to get rid of this magic equipment just yet. I want to improve it."

"Its current main purpose is to control the earth element, and it can form earth shields, earth thorns, etc."

"To be honest, it is actually a very good magic item that can be used both offensively and defensively."

"However, I want to make a small improvement to improve its offensive and defensive capabilities to a higher level."

Tom took a breath and offered a little insight of his own.

"Well...improvement...is indeed a feasible thing. This magic item does have room for improvement."

"But what do you want to do, Igno?"

"As far as I know, the materials that can enhance the power of magic equipment are all valuable, and some of them are almost more than the value of the magic equipment in your hand..."

Ignat looked at Tom, a bearded man, seriously, and then solemnly said, "I decided to carve magic patterns on it!"
