Chapter 11: The Magic of the Ancient One
The next day, Canaan slept until noon and woke up, today is Saturday and can have a good rest, last night he watched three episodes of alchemy videos in one go, although relying on the sage's hat and intelligence bonus, but Canaan said that alchemy is really difficult.
In the basic teaching video of Hohenheim, just to get started, you need to be familiar with the properties of 198 metals and related chemical reactions, the characteristics and growth environment of 58674 kinds of medicinal materials, and 3862 basic runes and the magic circles they can compose. Much of this material is unheard of in Canaan, and is presumably exclusive to the continent of Greennoor.
"I don't know what alchemy is like in our world. Canaan can't wait to learn about the alchemy of this world, and remembers that the more famous alchemy item in the movie is the Philosopher's Stone, which is also the introduction to the beginning of the plot of the first movie, the treasure that Voldemort wants to snatch.
"The Philosopher's Stone that can make people live is a precious item even in Glennoor. Canaan thought about it, even though the magic system and alchemy system of the two worlds were different.
Canaan was going to take time to go to Diagon Alley in the afternoon to buy some alchemy raw materials, and Hohenheim left his homework at the end of each episode, saying that simply listening to lectures and studying could not improve his alchemy ability, and that a lot of practice was needed.
Canaan was convinced of this, and even though he had the Philosopher's Hat, he couldn't handle the materials and the magic circle as meticulously as Hohenheim in the video. After all, practice makes sense!
When he came to the living room and saw a cat and a bird still petrified in the cage, Canaan seemed to remember something and patted his head.
"Oh, I forgot, poor little ones. He cast a petrification spell and got them out of the cage with some distress.
The two little ones looked a little sluggish, and they called out weakly.
Canaan hurriedly fetched some feed from the kitchen and fed them to them, originally just to punish them for one night, but they slept until noon. Looking at their loveless appearance, it is estimated that the taste of the petrification spell is not pleasant.
He made up for Alice with some milk and Syndra with his favorite almonds. Then I took a steak from the fridge and served it as my lunch.
After lunch, Canaan arrives at the Cauldron Bar, which has a very different style, with a layer of jade tiles on the uneven floor, white wallpaper on the surrounding walls, and a huge crystal magic lamp hanging from the ceiling. The whole bar has a new look.
This is what Canaan suggested to Old Tom and funded more than 500 Galleons, Canaan believes that the elegant and comfortable environment will definitely attract more customers, and Old Tom has helped him a lot before, Canaan is also willing to give back, and for Canaan, this environment with his violin, I believe it is more experiential for customers.
"Little Canaan, why are you here, are you going to Diagon Alley?" Tom saw Canaan's figure and greeted him happily, business has been much better recently than before, and the environment of the bar has become so good that he has a lot of pleasure at work, and he is very grateful to Canaan from the bottom of his heart.
Most of the people in the bar also knew Canaan, and they all greeted Canaan with a smile, and Canaan also responded one by one, and now his performance time is fixed on Sunday afternoon, when there are far fewer people in the bar than at that time.
"Yes, Uncle Tom, please open the door for me. Canaan replied with a smile. Although he had a wand, the wand was not from the right source, and he didn't reveal it, so it was Tom Sr.'s help in and out of Diagon Alley every day.
"By the way, Uncle Tom, remember to leave me a glass of Venus when you go back. "This is the Muggle drink that Canaan recommended to Tom, and it is popular with many wizards, and it sells out every day.
"Okay! Old Tom laughed and responded.
Today there was a drizzle of rain in Diagon Alley, and there were gusts of cold wind, and Canaan clenched his neck, feeling extra cold.
Trotting to the Blotted Bookstore, Canaan and Mrs. Rust settled the balance of the week, and quickly took out dozens of sets of Marvel books from a storage bag. This storage bag was purchased by Canaan for 400 gold Galleons not long ago, and the space inside is equivalent to a small warehouse.
"Little Canaan, a few of my foreign friends also want to sell your books, you see?" asked Madame Rust flatteringly, she had recently made a lot of money by selling Canaan's books, and she was also very optimistic about this little genius who was becoming more and more famous in the wizarding world.
"Aunt Rust, it's good for you to make a decision, divide it into the same as you, and tell me in advance how many books you need. Canaan is also happy to see his book sold to the wizarding world abroad.
Later, when Canaan went to the thrift store, Teresa's temper was still as bad as before, and Canaan watched him scold the two customers away, and it seemed that he was kind to him at that time.
"Uncle Deresa, this is my recorded music, you can listen to it for fun. Canaan handed over a Muggle tape recorder, and on a previous show, he saw Teresa in the crowd and learned that he also liked music. In order to repay him, he recorded all the songs he had played.
"Heart, little one, thank you for the gift, I like it very much. Derain changed his previous impatient look towards customers and said to Canaan with a smile. It was only in the presence of Canaan that he would show such a gentle countenance.
During this time, Canaan would come to the thrift store whenever he had time, bring some cakes to Deran, and chat with him, which made Terelan, who had been lonely for a long time, very happy. So Teresa had a very good impression of Canaan.
Then Deran looked at him with a serious face, "Canaan, listen to me, try not to go out these days." He approached Canaan and lowered his voice, "Also, tomorrow's Leaky Cauldron will be on hold." ”
Canaan didn't know why, and just as he wanted to ask, he was interrupted by Teresa.
"There are some things that don't do you well if you know, and your current fame may attract the attention of some people, but remember my words. Then he gave Canaan a deep look, and then he drove him away and closed the door of the shop.
Canaan didn't know why, but he could guess from Deran's words that something big might happen in the wizarding world, and looking at the scattered crowds on the streets, Canaan always had a bad premonition in his heart.
After buying the required alchemy materials, Canaan quickly returned to the Cauldron Bar, told everyone that tomorrow's showmanship was canceled, and had a brief chat with Tom to inquire about the recent situation in the wizarding world.
"It seems that Uncle Tom doesn't know either. "There's nothing to be gained here with Old Tom. Canaan drank Venus and reminded Old Tom to stay safe these days.
Canaan, who returned home, breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Alice and Sindra snuggling together watching TV in the living room. It seems that yesterday's punishment was quite effective, and now they are good friends.
Arriving in the bedroom, Canaan opened the Ancient One's diary book to see the contents of the second page.
"We've found ways in the magic books to materialize elemental energy, and this method also works for the magic in our bodies. ”
"Karui used his magic to condense a golden shield that could withstand attacks, and he also fused the defensive charms mentioned in the book into it, why didn't I think of it? I could also condense my magic into a golden whip. ”
"It's a pity that I still have very little magic in my body, and it seems that I have to practice meditation every day. ”
The rest of the diary excites Canaan, recording the methods of materializing elemental energy, as well as the golden shield condensation gesture and the magic channeling method.
The only regret is that there is no meditation method mentioned in the book, Canaan noticed that the growth rate of his magic power has been very slow recently, and after only casting a few spells, his magic power is almost exhausted, if he can get this meditation method, it will help him a lot.
Canaan looked at the diary and tried to condense the golden shield in the way of the book. He found that this spell casting method was completely different from the Harry Potter world of casting spells with a wand, and did not require spells, and the most important thing was the way to channel the magic and the casting gestures.
The first time it was cast, the golden round shield formed half in Canaan's hand and dissipated.
"The way of mana channeling is a bit complicated, and it is not easy to carve this defensive spell in the round shield. Canaan frowned and tried the spell casting practice again.
After about half an hour of practice, he finally succeeded in casting the golden shield, similar to the picture in the movie, a golden round shield with a diameter of about thirty centimeters appeared in Canaan's hand, he touched it with his hand, it was still solid, quite hard, it seemed that it could not only block spells but also bullets.
I also saw that the magic patterns on some parts of the golden shield flickered and dimmed, "It should be that there is something wrong with the spell depiction, and I need to practice again." Canaan thought.
