Hope looked confused after entering the door. Did Caleb and Wizard Chess get involved? Hope rubbed her eyes and looked again, Caleb was really playing Wizard Chess.
Caleb slapped the table angrily and shouted at the wizard chess piece on the chessboard: "Why don't you go up when I tell you to?"
Knight Chess Piece: "If I go up, I'll die. I won't go."
Caleb pointed at the knight and cursed angrily: "If you don't stop him, the king will die and we will lose. Where is your chivalry?"
The knight retorted: "With your poor skills, you can't win even if I die. I won't make meaningless sacrifices."
Caleb: "䱱****"
Mateo, who looked desperate next to him, saw Hope and said excitedly: "You are back, my God, Caleb and the chess pieces have been scolding each other for almost an hour."
Hope became interested when he saw this vivid chess piece, as if it had a soul. Within the originally set rules, it had the ability to think independently. Magic was really magical.
Hope waved his hands to show that he was helpless. If the chess pieces doubted the player's ability, they would refuse to execute the order. This was something he had read in a book before. Hope asked curiously: "How many times has Caleb lost?" , the chess pieces don’t believe him anymore.”
Mateo thought for a while, "It seems that Caleb hasn't won in the afternoon." Mateo rubbed his head and said, "It seems that I will have to buy a new pair to play chess with him in the future. How about the two of us? Two more?"
Hope shook his head and refused. He doesn't know how to play chess. Caleb has made you mad at the game. He doesn't want to suffer. He doesn't think he needs to buy a new one. Caleb will probably never play chess with you again in the future.
Hope lay on the bed and pulled out a copy of "Basic Transfiguration Analysis" from the suitcase. Advanced transfiguration seemed to be able to temporarily give the deformed souls of life, making them look more lifelike. He wanted to study it.
After reading for a while, Hope put down the book. Obviously, elementary transfiguration did not involve such advanced things. Looking at Mateo, who was still studying the wand with the wizard Caleb, he asked: "You two Aren’t you going to write? Professor Flitwick still has a lot of homework assigned.”
The two of them shook their heads, "There will be a spell class only next week, why are you in a hurry?"
Hope shrugged helplessly: "Anyway, I don't have any homework, so don't come to learn from me then. I'm going to the library, are you going?"
The two looked at Hope indifferently, raised an international gesture towards him, and said in unison: "No."
Looking at the map, Hope came all the way to the library. He wanted to find some advanced information on transfiguration, but now he had a new idea. Although there was a map, it looked quite inconvenient. To put it bluntly, it was just a Hogwarts. Just a simplified diagram.
Thinking about the evil map he used in his previous life, there is no comparison. If he can make a magic map similar to the evil map, which can know where he is, what is around him, and plan the route to the destination, it must be very useful. It's easy to sell. The magical world should look like the magical world. What kind of map is a piece of paper?
After making the decision, he started looking for books in this area. First of all, this map belongs to the scope of alchemy. Although his mother Theresa is a quite famous alchemist, he has never been exposed to it, so first he needs to understand what is alchemy. Alchemical items.
The library is indeed very big. He searched for a long time but couldn't find the book he wanted. He might as well ask the librarian, Mrs. Pince, for advice first.
By coincidence, Mrs. Pingsi was reading a book in trance, still muttering in her mouth, "The books released this year are somewhat unsatisfactory."
Hope curiously looked at the title of the second grade novel "Wizard Master" on the cover of the book, but the name was somewhat similar to the second grade masterpiece he wrote this year.
Mrs. Pince, who noticed someone there, glanced at Hope and said, "This is a private collection and is not within the lending range. If you want to see it, go to the bookstore and grab it yourself."
Hope was stunned for a moment. This book was quite popular. He shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. I would like to ask where the alchemy books are."
"Go straight to the fifth row from here. The fourth bookshelf is all about alchemy." Mrs. Pingsi said without raising her head. "Remember not to scribble in the books, and don't make loud noises in the library, or I will make you look good."
Hope nodded to express his understanding. Following Mrs. Pince's guidance, he came to the bookshelf with books on alchemy. "Teaching You 20 Alchemy Items Step by Step" attracted Hope's attention. The author's name was Zuko, which sounded familiar. ah.
The small alchemical items in the book are very interesting, such as the biting cup, an alchemical item that bites a person's nose when he drinks water. Some of them made Hope wonder whether they were alchemical items. For example, this one, the Vampire Exorcist Cross, actually It is a wooden cross soaked in garlic juice.
He remembered seeing this kind of creature in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". Vampires just have sensitive noses and hate pungent things. Garlic is one of them. And isn't this soaking wood in the smell? Is this alchemy?
After looking at it for a while, Hope put it down. Most of them were props used for pranks, which were a bit different from what he wanted. It seemed that a good teacher was very necessary.
He decided to write a letter to his mother to ask for her opinion first.
After borrowing a copy of "Intermediate Transfiguration" and "Teaching You 20 Little Alchemy Items Step by Step", Hope went to the public owl room on the roof of the school. He didn't have an owl yet, so he had to borrow the school's public owl and chose One that looked more majestic gave me some owl feed and happily went to deliver the letter. However, the confidentiality level at his mother's place of work is a bit high, so I don't know if he can receive it.
All the way back to the Hufflepuff lounge, Caleb actually got into an argument with the chess pieces again. This time Mateo was also involved. The chess pieces on Mateo's side actually disliked his opponent for being too weak and didn't bother to be an enemy. .
Magic is so amazing, Hope sighed and went to the common room to read.
Just as Hope was watching in ecstasy, a familiar voice came over: "Hope, why are you alone in the common room?"
Hope looked up and said, "Good evening, Cedric. You may not believe it, but my roommate and Wizard Chess got into an argument."
Cedric:? ?
"Stop talking about this, have you eaten? I'm going to the kitchen to get something to eat. Can we come together?"
Hope looked out the window. It was completely dark. Is it already this time? He closed the book and said, "Let's go, I also want to know where the kitchen is."
He followed Cedric out of the lounge, took two steps, and stopped at a portrait. Cedric scratched a pear on the painting familiarly, and the pear chuckled twice and turned into a doorknob.
Hope knew that the kitchen was close to the lounge, but she didn't expect it to be so close.
An older-looking house elf walked up and said respectfully: "Respect the little wizard, is there anything Beta can do for you?"
Cedric said skillfully: "Prepare me a sandwich and a glass of pumpkin juice."
Hope said, "Me too, but I'd like a honey lemonade, thank you."
Pumpkin juice is not directly squeezed from pumpkin. There are other condiments in it, which makes it taste weird.
Beta bent his body low and said respectfully: "You are too polite, Beta is happy to serve you." After saying that, he hurried to prepare.
