Although he found a part-time job, Ted couldn't stop there.
Of course you have to do a lot of part-time jobs.
Money is one thing, experience is another.
Ted actually gained experience today when he was learning how to deal with slugs from Mr. Giggs!
Exactly 16 o'clock!
Although there are fewer slugs to deal with later on, you will always gain one or two points of experience from dealing with a dozen or so.
Then get some more jobs!
roll! Roll it up!
After two days, Ted had filled up his free time.
Get up in the morning and help Old Tom clean up the bar, then eat his simple breakfast and go to work in Diagon Alley.
The morning was spent at Jiggs Jiggs Pharmacy, transporting and processing simple medicinal materials that were in high demand.
Such as slugs, cutting some herbal roots into pieces, weighing medicinal powder, tying up some bird feathers, etc.
He had learned the descaling spell from Mr. Giggs yesterday - it was all clean.
This magic spell is simply needed!
Otherwise, Ted would be soaked in various potion ingredients all morning long!
Ted learned a lot in the pharmacy and saw a lot of advanced potion ingredients.
For example, the rhinoceros horns, the feathers of the soundless bird, the rice green sac of the giant squid, etc.
It's just that Mr. Giggs only told him the properties and processing methods of these drugs, and did not let him get started-this thing is too expensive, and if he messes up, with Ted's salary, several months of work will be in vain.
After finishing Mr. Giggs' work at noon, he went to the Magical Creatures Pet Shop.
Ted is responsible for cleaning, cleaning up poop, feeding and watering the pets.
There are many magical animals here that are safe and harmless and can be kept as pets.
There are cattails, giant orange snails, deformed rabbits, jackalopes, ravens, two-tailed newts, purple giant toads and more.
Some requirements are more cumbersome, such as not being frightened by loud noises and not eating food with too much water content.
The work at noon is not light, and after finishing the work, Ted usually has to use the [Restore Energy (Green)] card for himself.
After regaining my energy, I had free lunch at the pet store and headed to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore in the afternoon.
This is where the little wizards buy textbooks. The bookstore is very large and has a very complicated catalog.
Most of Ted's two hours of work was spent sorting out goods - finding certain books from the warehouse and placing them on the shelves.
The warehouse at Flourish and Blotts was very large, and Ted even found some old books that were gathering dust and had been untouched for at least seven or eight years.
This job is not easy either. After get off work, I go back to the Leaky Cauldron to rest and read and study. Mainly try some simple and safe spells.
Ted didn't even try the levitation spell or the transfiguration spell.
He still remembered the story told by Professor Flitwick, who taught charms in the original book, about how he cast a levitating spell and summoned a bison to trample on his back.
Similarly, transfiguration is not safe. It is best not to try it randomly without any guidance.
Wait until [Restore Energy (Green)] cools down, use it again, and then it’s time to have dinner.
When you buy something simple to eat from Old Tom, Old Tom will usually give you a cup of butter beer, or two pies.
Old Tom: "You are still growing. Eat more to gain strength."
Unlike the Muggle world, by six or seven o'clock in the evening, the people in the bar gradually disappeared. Apparently wizards have less nightlife.
Ted helped Old Tom clean up. After it was cleaned up, it was much easier, just arranging tables and chairs, placing wine glasses and other small tasks.
It has been cleaned up many times every day. Ted even feels that this spell is now so easy to use, and he can use it as soon as he opens his mouth!
When everything was fine at night, Ted lit the oil lamp in his utility room and began to study more deeply. He also took notes and recorded his questions, waiting for the start of school to find answers from professors.
Moreover, he repeatedly used the several spells he had learned on his own until he felt that the magic power in his body was empty and unsustainable.
Magic has levels and proficiency. Once the proficiency is reached, it can be upgraded. After upgrading, the effect will be stronger.
Of course, you can also use experience points to replace proficiency, get it right in one step, and add points to upgrade~
Even Old Tom couldn't stand Ted's diligence, thinking that he was working too hard for his small body.
This can be called the ultimate beater of Diagon Alley and the king of magic circles.
Not so! Ten galleons a month, what are you doing with your life?
Also, how can an old man like me, who is in my fifties or sixties, be embarrassed by your life-threatening training magic?
If I met you when I was in school, wouldn’t I be caught in a trap by you? !
But Ted knew that he was not only doing it for the money, but also for the experience.
My knowledge of other worlds is still waiting to be redeemed!
If the so-called psychic is the kind you know, the sooner you redeem it, the better.
…
Ted has also found several second-hand textbooks in the past two days. Although they are worn out, they do not affect their use. There are even some notes and nonsense left by past users.
Just like drawing a 98k hug for Du Fu in the Chinese textbook, it is a boring thing for a bad student to do in class.
Now I have almost all the things I have learned, such as brass balances, second-hand telescopes and so on.
As for pets, there's no need to think about it. Anyway, I don't have anyone to write to.
If you really want to send a letter, there are still school owls that you can use for free.
Not to mention a flying broom. Flying in the sky would definitely be fun, but I didn’t want to fly in the sky with a stick stuck under my crotch.
However, it seems that first graders are not allowed to bring brooms to school.
How would you describe Ted’s feelings about working in Diagon Alley these days?
It feels like the wizarding world has a post-medieval feel. While Muggles are already watching TV and playing with computers, wizards can only read newspapers and listen to the radio. Even magic radio has not been widely popularized.
Everyone still reads newspapers and magazines every day to learn what's new in the magical world.
In this era of print media, the three most famous media outlets in the British wizarding world are the Daily Prophet, Wizards Weekly and The Quibbler.
The Daily Prophet mainly reports social news and is the most mainstream newspaper.
Ted read the newspaper from Old Tom every day.
"Wizard Weekly" is the entertainment section, and Lockhart has won the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award many times.
In addition, there is a lot of information about the wizarding world in other countries outside of Great Britain.
"The Quibbler" is mainly responsible for spreading rumors, and many of its contents are confusing.
It's a bit like a street-stall magazine, but it sells very well.
Today's British wizarding community only has about 20,000 to less than 30,000 people. This is probably the reason why the Secrecy Law exists.
The population is so small that calling it a small society is a bit flattering.
This is a big village!
So the village tyrant Voldemort is far worse than Grindelwald. The layout is too small!
In addition to Britain, Grindelwald wandered around the world and had ambitious goals. Voldemort started fighting in villages in Britain and killed the already sparse villagers.
The population was originally small, but he and his Death Eaters had to kill hundreds of them in the past ten years! Not to mention the Muggles they killed!
…
A week passed. One day, Ted was disposing of medicines in the pharmacy when he heard noises on the street outside.
Through the window, I saw a lot of people gathering outside the diagonally opposite store, pointing and talking to each other.
Just as Mr. Giggs came in from the door, Ted put down the painted tortoise shell and asked: "Mr. Giggs, what's going on outside? Which store is doing activities or discounts?"
Mr. Giggs can be said to be the spy in Diagon Alley, and everything will happen wherever he goes.
Especially after Ted came, my work became much more relaxed, and I had more time in the day to gossip and join in the fun.
He lifted up the wizard's robe and sat down, smiling and said: "That's a newly opened shop..."
Ted didn't answer and continued brushing the tortoise shell.
There is a layer of aquatic grass growing on the shell of the Rhode Island grass mud turtle, which needs to be cleaned, otherwise the efficacy of the medicine will be affected.
Ted didn't need to ask, because he knew that Mr. Giggs would definitely not be able to bear it and would speak for himself.
Sure enough, "You must have never imagined, what kind of store is that?!" he said.
Ted said: "Oh? What store?"
"It's a blacksmith shop! It's run by a dwarf!"
Ted was stunned and stopped holding the brush in his hand.
dwarf? What dwarf?
"Mr. Giggs, what dwarf are you talking about?" he asked.
"They are dwarves, the kind that are short, thick, and bearded. They are an alien race that appeared after the stars converged ten years ago!"
dwarf! The stars meet! Alien race? !
wait! What is this?
