Chapter 87： amulet (2/2)
”No effect?” Albert thought he might have guessed the possibility.
”No, I can't say that it didn't work, but...” Professor Broad grinned and said, ”Basically no effect.”
”Why?”
”Good question, why?” Professor Broad asked, ”Why do you think it is?”
”I don't know.” Albert shook his head, ”Is the amulet made of wood from the tree?”
”Do you know alchemy?” Professor Browd suddenly changed the subject.
”I know.” Albert said without hesitation: ”An ancient chemical prototype?”
”Chemistry, sorry, kid, I didn’t understand what you’re talking about?” Professor Broad was also taken aback. He really didn’t understand how Albert actually spit out the word chemistry. In the wizard’s worldview, there is no chemistry. This stuff.
”I mean the Muggle worldview, you know, I come from a Muggle family, I gather on Muggle books. The so-called alchemy is the prototype of ancient chemistry.” Albert explained casually.
”That's the case. But, the alchemy in the magical world is actually a kind of magic.” Professor Brod continued: ”This is a profound subject. Alchemy includes many things. Unfortunately, this subject It’s not popular in the UK. Only in Africa and Egypt have separate courses open.”
”You think the amulet is an alchemy item.” Albert immediately connected the two things together.
”Yes.” Professor Broad was very happy that Albert had understood this, and he continued: ”Amulets made by alchemists can be regarded as amulets in the true sense and can best preserve the amulet. Tree effect. At least, Grindillo will not attack you when you wear the amulet across a swamp or lake.”
”However, I need to remind you that don’t buy amulets on the market. They are made by swindlers~ Although the dharma tree is not very common, I think one is made from the wood of the dharma tree. The amulet is not worth two Gallons.”
”Because it has not been processed by an alchemist?” Albert asked rhetorically.
”That's right.” Professor Browd looked at Albert and said, ”I guess you want to make amulets with the Dharma Tree? ”
”Yes, I want to make a talisman for my sister, her birthday is coming soon.” Albert did not hide, but avoided Professor Broad's gaze. He thought the old man might be seductive, although He didn't feel like he was seen through, but he should be more vigilant.
As he said, Albert took out a cross made a while ago from his pocket.
is really simple, it's the ordinary kind of wood intertwined into a cross, the product of his practice cutting spell.
”This is indeed an amulet made from the wood of the Dharma tree.” Professor Brod took the cross, looked up and down, and joked: ”However, it is very inferior. I dare to say that it cannot sell for 2 gallons.”
Albert knew that Professor Browder had just made a simple joke, and didn't care at all.
”If you want to make an amulet, I suggest you read books related to alchemy.” Professor Brod suddenly suggested, ”If it is someone else, I might not recommend him to go to school. After all, it is at least three. The difficulty of the grade selection. However, this shouldn't trouble you.”
”Any recommendation?” Albert asked.
”Simple Alchemy”, this is an introductory book. I prefer to call it foolish alchemy. Professor Brod took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time and said, ”Well, I have another lesson later. , If you still want to talk about Defense Against the Dark Arts, I suggest you come to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on weekends to find me.”
