Early in the morning, Albert opened his eyes and sat up abruptly from the bed.

Somehow, he felt a pain all over his body, and his body was still a little weak, as if he had just had an illness, what the hell.

Last night's sleeping position should be fine!

Well, and that weird dream.

In my dreams, I seem to ...... After he married Isobel, Catherine brought a child, saying that it was his daughter, and Isobel choked him by the neck, saying that he had betrayed her?

"It's all a mess of dreams. Albert reached out and covered his cheek and muttered.

Could it be that Catherine was so beautiful that he had such strange dreams?

Albert thought it was ridiculous.

He covered a yawn and glanced up at the unfamiliar room, his eyes falling on the neatly arranged clothes on the table.

After changing his clothes, getting up and washing up, Albert went straight to the living room.

The two old men were already here, not knowing what they were talking about, and they both smiled and greeted him when they saw him.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson, did you sleep well last night?"

"It's not good, I don't know what's going on, I'm sore. Albert moved his neck slightly, "Maybe I'm in a strange place, and I'm not used to sleeping!"

Nicholas smiled and handed the New York Ghost to Albert.

"The reporters at the New York Ghost know you're in the United States, and they're looking for you everywhere. Nicholas reminded, "They obviously want to interview you, the youngest ever international wizarding chess champion." ”

There is also an interview above, where the wizard named Carter said a lot of bad things about Albert.

"No matter where the newspaper is, it will inevitably attract people's attention. After reading his part of the report, Albert casually put the New York Ghost on the table.

"It's normal, unless you start your own newspaper. Nicholas said with a smile.

Soon, the house-elves delivered a hearty breakfast of milk, croissants, fried sausages, fried potatoes, fried eggs, fried shiitake mushrooms, tomatoes, and a big spoonful of stewed peanuts.

It's about the same as a British breakfast.

In other words, in order to take care of the diet of the two, this kind of breakfast will be prepared.

"Miss Catherine hasn't gotten up yet?"

Albert was a little surprised not to see Catherine during the meal, so he asked casually.

"She had something to do and left early in the morning. Nicholas smiled and said, "Catherine is glad to have met you, but she was a little struck by you." ”

"Hit by me?"

"Yes, Catherine's talent was discovered by me at a very young age. Later, when he went to the Ilvermorny Academy of Magic, he immediately showed amazing talent and became a well-known genius in the school. Nicholas took a sip of milk and recalled: "It's just that, because of the relationship after the childhood, her personality has always been more withdrawn and has no friends." ”

For some reason, Albert sniffed something unusual, didn't answer, and continued to bury his head in eating.

Actually, Isobel should be quite suitable to be Catherine's friend, both parties are geniuses, and it is estimated that there will be many topics to talk about, but the dream in the morning made Albert completely give up the idea of introducing Isobel to the other party.

After breakfast, the two went to Nicholas's workshop, which was in a general room outside the villa, which was covered with a Traceless Stretching Charm, and a large number of alchemical equipment was neatly arranged in the room, even more exaggerated than Nicholas's home.

"This is dark powder?"

Serra was slightly surprised to see the magic items that had been placed randomly on the table.

"Following your suggestion, I made it into a stealth smoke grenade. Nicholas pointed to the stealth smoke grenade and introduced them, "Of course, your lifting process has been improved several times. Now Peru has been able to produce a steady stream of dark powder. There are quite a few wizards in the black market who love this thing, and it's a great way to escape. ”

"I didn't bring it up," Serra said, gesturing at Albert, "you don't mind showing me your new technology, do you?"

"Don't mind. ”

Nicholas showed them how to make dark powder, and he wasn't worried that they would use it to make money, because the Peruvian side was already monopolized by him and his friends.

Watching Nicholas skillfully mix some ground ore powder with concentrated plant fruit powder and heat it, and after some processing, finally extract the dark powder, Albert felt like this was real alchemy. Ivy

Nicholas also asked Albert if he wanted to give it a try.

Albert followed Nicholas's method and succeeded in making Dark Powder after two attempts, and by the way, he mastered this skill.

The latter is not too surprising, after all, he is a genius, and it is normal to be able to do this to this extent, and the manufacturing process of dark powder is not very difficult.

"This is the extract of the sleepy bean. ”

Nicholas pointed to a bottle of silver juice and introduced to them, "If you take it directly, you can remove people's memories, and dilute it with the venom of the Winged Demon in a certain proportion to create a powerful amnesia. ”

"The Magical Congress of the United States procures a certain amount of Sleepy Bean Extract from me every year. Nicholas continued, "The last time Newt helped them solve the problem exposed by the American wizarding community, the Ministry of Magic also wanted to learn the technique of large-scale erasure of memory. It's a pity that they couldn't find a wizard who domesticated the thunderbird, so they had to let the wizard ride a broomstick......"

Speaking of this, Nicholas smiled maliciously.

"Of course, it's more needed by magical hospitals in the United States, and as long as the amount is right, it can erase some bad memories, which is better than the Forgetting Charm. ”

"Of course, this thing is expensive, because it takes a lot of sleepy beans to extract such a tube of silver extract, which is also the source of the Zhuo pot on my face. ”

"What's that?" Albert noticed a sealed test tube in a steaming glass box.

"That's a potion potion. Nicholas said softly.

"Potions from Zygmunt Budge's Book of Potions?"

"Yes. Nicholas took the test tube out of the glass case, handed it to Albert and said, "Potions masters in America are no better off than alchemists. However, we can always find a way to survive. ”

"Not all descendants of wizards can possess powerful magical powers, and many famous and wealthy wizarding families are keen to give their children this potion to stimulate their magical potential and make them superior to other wizards in some aspects. Nicholas continued, "After they graduate from school, they will be able to enter the Magical Congress of America, become a good Auror, or get some other more promising career. ”

"American wizards have mastered how to grow phantom smelling grass?" Albert asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I've tried, but the effect is very poor, most of the cultivated phantom smelling grass is half-dead, and there is no high-quality phantom smelling grass in the magic garden, before making it into a potential potion, it usually needs to be purified, and the extract is directly used to make a potential potion. ”

"It's all forced out by money!" Albert said softly.

"After all, they don't have as much of a pot to splurge as I do. "Nicholas is well aware of the difficulties of others.

The alchemists and potions masters in the Americas were fairly united, forming an intricate web of relationships through interests, which was one of the reasons why Nicholas had access to a large amount of magical raw materials.

"Didn't they try to study the Ba Fay Brain Awakening?"

"Yes, but it's a bit dangerous and unstable, and it takes a pretty good Potions master to make it. ”

Actually, those Potions Masters also want to make money by making Bafay Brain Sophober, but if you don't get it right, you might turn people into fools.

It's better to make a magic elixir to make money, at least the magic elixir failed to be poisoned, and there was still salvation.

"I know a Potions Master. Albert thought for a moment and said, "Hetok Dagworth, I think you've probably heard his name, I asked him to help me make the Bafe Sophober, but it did work. ”

"Of course, I'll also make Bafay's brain rejuvenator, but it's hard to get Runi snake eggs. Albert said suddenly, "And more practice is needed." ”

"Raw materials can be obtained from Burkina Faso. Nicholas understood what Albert meant, and said, "As long as you have a way to provide a reliable buff sober." ”

"Burkina Faso?"

"It's a small country in Africa where there are forests dedicated to protecting runi snakes, and there are quite a few shamans who breed runi snakes for sale. Nicholas said without hesitation, "The fangs of the runi snake that Floo Powder needed were also obtained from that country. ”

Many people use the powder made from the fangs of the runi snake in place of the Floo powder, and they blow themselves up, but they don't know that the thing still needs to be processed through alchemy to make the Floo powder.

"Alright, let's talk about this!" Albert asked, shaking the potion potion, "what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to be Catherine's friend. Nicholas said seriously, "After she becomes my heir, she is destined to have no good friends in the future, and you, who are also geniuses, should have a lot of topics." ”

"Are you sure it's just friends?" asked Albert.

"Of course, if you want to chase my granddaughter, I don't ......"

"No, I already have a girlfriend. Albert shook his head and said, "However, if it's a friend who communicates in magic and alchemy, I'd be happy to contact you through the two-way mirror when the time comes." ”

Albert could tell that Nicholas cared about his granddaughter.
