"Don't poke it, you're going to blind other people's eyes. ”

In a dorm room, Lee Jordan poked around with a gold rod he had just bought from Zoko's joke shop.

The golden rod is called the Honesty Detector, a primitive Dark Arts Detector that can detect hidden spells and magical items.

Naturally, there are not so many hidden spells and magic items in ordinary dormitories, but they have Albert in their dorm room, and Lee Jordan has really found a lot of hidden spells, such as cabinets, books, and mirrors.

Anyway, Lee Jordan is now poking around with an honesty detector on his face full of excitement.

"Be careful that Albert comes back and beats you. Fred, who was playing cards, couldn't help but warn.

"As long as you don't say it, he won't know. Lee Jordan threw a chicken-flavored multi-flavored bean into his mouth, poked Albert's cabinet with a gold rod, and said, "I know that a lot of the magic items Albert made are in it. ”

"Don't try it, there's magic on it, and the Alaho Cave can't be opened by the spell. ”

"Where's the lockpick?"

"If you pry, Albert will beat you up. ”

"Lee Jordan doesn't pick locks. George was depressed, he lost again, it seemed that he had never won against Fred in poker, Albert always said that there was something wrong with his deck, but George didn't want to change his deck.

"Say, what did Albert buy this silver arrow?" Fred took out the silver arrow from under Albert's bed after packing up the wizard cards, and placed it on the table to take a closer look. Although it is an antique broom, the workmanship is indeed exquisite, and it is not at all as rough as other antique brooms.

"I don't know, maybe, probably...... Want to collect this antique broom?" said George, not so sure.

"Lo and behold, there is a hidden spell on the broom, too. Lee Jordan said excitedly with a golden rod and a poke on the broom.

"Don't mess around with that thing here. Fred glared at Lee Jordan angrily, "I'd rather believe that Albert is going to study the structure of the broom and is going to make a new one for himself!"

The difficulty of making a broom is not high, and the real difficulty is how to make the process of the broom better.

"Help me pick the lock. Lee Jordan poked George with his stick and asked, "The Gryffindor treasure map you found last time is also in there." ”

"Anyway, what about others?" asked George impatiently, pulling away Lee Jordan's stick.

"I don't know. Fred shook his head.

Fresh after returning from Hogsmeade, Albert disappeared inexplicably.

"While he's not ......"

"I said you don't bother, if you have time, go and get the wizard card game in order. ”

George walked over to the counter and pulled out a bunch of cards from a box, the wizard cards he and Fred were trying to make, but there was still a gap with Albert's wizard cards.

Lee Jordan took the opportunity to move the gold rod down and poked it at George, who was rummaging through the materials. Fred, who watched this scene, was a little stunned, and seemed to be looking forward to waiting for what would happen.

......

......

At this moment, in the Room of Request, Albert is practicing the Traceless Stretching Spell.

So far, he has been practicing for more than ten minutes, but the Traceless Stretching Spell has never taken effect, and the Traceless Stretching Spell has not appeared on the skill panel.

"It's really a deep magic, and it feels really hard. Albert muttered.

"Expand the increment!"

With great concentration, he waved his wand again to cast a spell on the box.

However, the Traceless Stretch Spell still didn't work, which made him a little depressed, feeling like he was being pitted by the rewards from the quest panel.

Why not just master it yourself?

"What's the problem?" Albert struggled to recall Professor Smith's spell casting.

Your magic power should be sufficient, and the spells you cast and the wand-wielding gestures are not wrong.

Although it cannot be ruled out that Professor Smith deliberately misled himself, it should be unlikely!

"But what's the problem?"

Albert took a deep breath, suppressing the irritability that welled up in his heart. He gave up practicing the Traceless Stretch for a while, and flipped through the books he had borrowed from the forbidden section, which did contain a record of how to learn the Traceless Stretch Mantra.

Albert took a lot of time to read the section on the Traceless Stretching Charm several times, and when he closed the book, he realized that something was wrong with him, and his face suddenly darkened.

The Traceless Stretch Spell is considered a difficult advanced spell to master, and for a reason, when using a spell, you need to make sure how much capacity you want to expand, similar to the Phantom Manifestation that requires an accurate knowledge of the destination, and the Patronus Charm requires a pleasant memory.

However, Professor Smith never reminded Albert of this, so it was not surprising that the spell would fail.

"What a reward for this mission!" Albert muttered.

He wasn't sure why Professor Smith only taught himself spells and gestures, not the essentials of spell casting, and he didn't want to learn it, or was it ...... Forget it, next time you go to Professor Smith, you'll know.

"Expand the increment!"

Albert picked up his wand and tried again, this time the spell finally worked, and he reached into the box, where the space had indeed increased a little.

He flipped through the panel skills again, and sure enough, he managed to find the skill of the Traceless Stretching Charm.

The difficulty of the Traceless Stretching Mantra is related to the enlarged area.

Albert didn't rush to upgrade, but began to think about how to make himself a pair of protective gloves out of the fur of the swamp digger. The swamp diggers that Mondigus helped him buy were not small in fur, and could make gloves first and then mandrake containers.

There was no tailor in his skill panel, and a first-level tailor probably couldn't make any good gloves, so it was best to find someone to help him, Albert remembered that there was a tailor shop in Diagon Alley where he could write a letter to the fat witch, and it would be best if the other party was willing to help.

If the other party is unwilling, they can only figure it out by themselves.

First-level tailoring skills always feel a little unreliable.

......

At lunchtime, Albert showed up in the hall on time, and three of his roommates had arrived and were waving at him.

"What's wrong with your eyes?"

When Albert walked over, he found that Lee Jordan's eye sockets were a little swollen, as if he had been punched, and Fred next to him was secretly snickering.

"He poked around with the honesty detector and it turned out to be ......," George shrugged helplessly.

"I'm just kidding, you're going to be too ruthless. Lee Jordan couldn't help but complain.

"I didn't mean it, I reacted instinctively, instinctively. ”

"Why don't you go to Madam Pomfrey for help. Albert sat down next to him and took the slice of bread and prepared a sandwich for himself.

However, Lee Jordan's face is a little dark, and he can't see the dark circles under his eyes that have been beaten at all.

"Go. Fred said, "Where did you just go?"

"Practice spells on the eighth floor!" Albert said casually.

"Are you supposed to ...... I've learned it!" George looked at Albert in horror.

"How is it possible, it's just a bit of an eyebrow, and it takes a lot of time to practice. Albert took a bite of the ham sandwich, reached for Lee Jordan's gold rod and touched it on the protective bracelet on his wrist, and found that the thing was really reactive.

"It's called an honesty detector. Lee Jordan introduced. "Capable of detecting hidden spells and hidden magical items. ”

"The effect is very poor, which is estimated to be inferior. Albert took the gold rod away from the bracelet and found that the reaction on the gold rod disappeared immediately.

To be honest, Albert felt that the magic items in the wizarding world were very unreliable, and most wizards still had to rely on their wands.

"After all, two Galleons of something, you can't expect anything. Lee Jordan grunted, took the gold rod, poked Albert at the body, and ...... I found a fist enlarged in front of me

"You're enough, too!" Albert glanced at Lee Jordan.

"Then you don't have to beat me!" Lee Jordan protested, covering his eyes.

"Who made you cheap!"

Fred and George couldn't help but laugh out loud, if it weren't for the fact that Lee Jordan himself was dark enough, the two dark circles under his eyes would be wonderful.

"By the way, in the future, I want to make a joke device that can create dark circles for others, write it down, write it down. George pulled out his parchment and wrote down the idea as quickly as he could.

"Wow, when are you going to bring this thing with you, too. Lee Jordan looked at George in disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Hmph, I learned it from Albert. George waved the parchment and casually explained, "There are some interesting ideas in it, and we'll implement them later." ”

"With your ability, it's hard to succeed, and if it's Albert, it would be easier. Lee Jordan couldn't help but sarcastically mock George to express his dissatisfaction.

"We're still stockpiling useful knowledge, and in two years' time, we'll definitely be able to start trying to make these things. Fred and George don't care too much about Lee Jordan's sarcasm, they really don't have that ability right now, but in a few years, they will definitely be able to do it, and now record it first, and reserve some inspiration for the future, even if they really don't need it, there is nothing to lose.

"You can't make much money selling those things. After Albert ate the sandwich, he suddenly interjected.

"Then what do you say is worth it. Fred asked rhetorically.

"This thing. ”

Albert shook his wooden bracelet and explained softly, "Professor Smith used to complain to me that most wizards are very bad at the defense of the Dark Arts these days, and they can't even use an Iron Armor Charm. ”

"You mean protective equipment?" George guessed at once,

"Except for wizards who perform dangerous work, I guess few people will buy it, right?" Fred frowned.

"Recently, I got a useful message that in a few years, this thing will definitely sell well!" Albert laughed, "Defense Against the Dark Arts is the real cash cow. ”

"What news. ”

"The news was terrifying. Albert said mysteriously, "You certainly don't want to know, and you don't want to believe it." ”
