Harry Potter: The Atypical Alchemist

The facilities at the Moon Hotel were fine, as Stone could attest, having slept on the floor all night without catching a cold.

Stone was still a little weak when he woke up in the morning, but he had fully recovered by lunch time. It only lasted less than a day, so you can rest assured.

In the afternoon, Stone completed the remaining three talismans with the same structure. After dinner, he completed two three-rune talismans for the outer crystal and the middle crystal. Both of these three-rune talismans also have four, in the shape of a cross. Yes!

On the third day, he completed all three runes and the center talisman.

At this point, all the symbols are completed.

During these three days, something else happened:

Due to force majeure, one day... the alchemist from the magic house announced his withdrawal from the competition.

The man named Harvey Solomon was also beaten...Krum knew that he provoked Stone, and as a thank you, he did it himself.

Of course, this resulted in some bad results. Forget it about the one from the Magic Institute. No one liked him anyway, so they didn't bother to find out the real reason for his withdrawal.

But this guy from Ilvermorny had nothing to do with Klum, but he got a beating because of Stone. In addition, Stone had a good relationship with the Ramadan sisters, and the three groups of contestants were divided again. Belonging to a different track...it's hard not to suspect something.

Some small groups came into being, which has never happened in previous games.

Stone doesn't know what Sai Fang's mentality is, and he doesn't care. He's very busy right now.

Although the talisman spectrum is completed, this is only the first step. There are still three steps to be completed: storage, assembly, and error checking.

Early on the fourth morning, Stone walked out of the hotel with the crystal.

Since it is a device for translation, it must have text. This set of his device can hold four sets of languages. According to all the contestants and judges, the texts Stone plans to store are English, French, Arabic and German. .

Krum is the only one who speaks German, but as a source of inspiration, he deserves to be respected. As for the one who went home early...who cares about him?

The only place where you can find all the texts at once is the municipal library.

After walking for a long time through the crowded city center, Stone stepped through the door of the library.

Under the guidance of the staff, he found dictionaries and grammar books in these four languages ​​and sat in a corner of the library.

After looking around, Stone took out his wand and crystal plate.

He put the crystal plate on the right, the dictionary and grammar book on the left, pointed at the books with the wand, and waved lightly, and one of the dictionaries quickly turned its pages, with the sound of "clatter——". , the words in the dictionary also flew out and poured into the crystal plate.

After a few minutes, the dictionary turned to the last page.

He pointed his wand at the grammar book for the corresponding language.

Recognition, translation, and manifestation are three processes and four languages. A total of twenty-one times needs to be stored. There is also grammar, so it needs to be doubled, for a total of forty-two times.

Stone spent the whole morning surrounded by the sound of crashing.

As the last crystal plate was filled with knowledge, the core part of the translation device was declared complete. Stone stretched, put all the books back and walked out of the library.

The driver was still waiting, and there was still half a day before the agreed time to get the silver parts. Stone, who had stolen half a day of leisure, decided to take a short rest.

After getting on the carriage, Stone asked the driver in front:

"Excuse me, do you have any recommended food? I'll treat you to it."

"As for delicious food - I recommend the roasted whole lamb near the market. It should be something new for your friends from out of town." The driver said.

"Okay, let's go there."

Roast whole lamb is definitely not something new, but Stone has never tried roasted whole lamb in Cairo, so he has to go and experience it.

Before I even got there, the scent was already wafting over me. Stone jumped out of the carriage and saw a lamb stall being roasted in the open air not far away.

Roasting a whole lamb requires several steps, and this roast stall displays all the steps outside.

On the preparation table at the back, a young man smeared the lamb all over with spices, soaked it in the spices, stuffed the lamb belly with rice, pine nuts, almonds and other ingredients, and handed it to the chef in front. The chef threads the sheep on the grill and turns them over, a step that can take several hours, so there are several grills working at the same time.

There was freshly roasted lamb next to it. The mutton was so tender and fragrant that Stone's mouth watered.

"Boss, a roasted whole lamb." Stone shouted impatiently. The fluent Arabic surprised the driver behind him who was preparing to translate.

"Okay!" the boss shouted, "find a place to sit, we'll be there soon!"

"Hurry up."

With that said, Stone found an empty table and sat down.

The coachman also sat over and said in Arabic: "So you know Arabic."

"Of course." Stone blinked, "Don't tell Nyx and the others."

"no problem."

Not long after, the roasted whole lamb was brought over, along with two bottles of happy water, which Stone couldn't wait to enjoy.

While eating and chatting, Stone also learned about the situation of the coachman Suti.

Generally speaking, wizards would most likely not be willing to be a coachman, but when it came to the wizarding world, Muggles could not be invited, so he was very curious about the situation of the coachman at the Moon Hotel.

During the chat, Stone learned for the first time that there is also the term "Squib" in the world, which refers to a group of people whose parents are wizards but whose children do not show wizard talents.

This group of people should be quite miserable. They can witness magic but cannot participate in it. Since they have received wizard education since childhood, it is difficult for them to survive in the Muggle world. Therefore, for hundreds of years, the Moon Hotel has provided them with jobs. It's quite structured.

After finishing lunch and paying the bill, Stone asked Suti to go back first.

He himself found a refreshment restaurant on the bank of the Nile and sat there all afternoon. The previous three and a half days were too stressful and he needed to take a rest.

As the sun set, Stone returned to the Moon Hotel along the Nile River. The hotel's signboard was very beautiful, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. After pacing at the door for a while, he finally stepped inside.

As soon as he entered the door, Nyx's voice sounded from the sofa on one side of the hall:

"Hey Stone, where have you been?"

"I didn't go anywhere. I just sat by the Nile River for a while."

"Are you alone?"

"Otherwise?" Stone said with a smile, "Can you still go with me?"

"You should have let me go with you." Nyx muttered, "You don't know Arabic, what should you do if you are deceived?"

"Then let's go together next time."
