Chapter 122: The Wizarding World is sinister
In the days that followed, Fred and George would still come back from time to time to refine the first installment of their fast-acting truancy candy series, fat tongue toffee.
However, Kyle found the process too boring, so instead of joining them, he chose to stay in his room and read.
This behavior leaves Fred and George speechless, as they see Percy's shadow in Kyle.
But the two of them couldn't say anything.
No way, who made Kyle now their landlord and important partner, and only here can they feel safe and bold to research the products they invented.
Of course, they don't really say nothing.
After an invitation was declined, George said in a long voice, "Fred, I think we should order a batch of fireworks to celebrate Kyle as a prefect in advance." ”
"Then we're going to celebrate four years." Fred said in the same tone, "After all, Hogwarts has to be in fifth year to become a prefect, and he's only in his second year this year. ”
"By the way, maybe six years." George raised an eyebrow, "Don't forget the student council president." ”
"yes, that's right...... Tsk, six years of hard work to pull out fireworks, that's a lot of money. ”
The two of them sang and spoke in harmony, both in tone and demeanor, exactly like a certain Potions professor, and those who didn't know thought that there were two Snape standing at the door.
Kyle didn't say anything, silently giving them a middle finger before continuing to look at his desk.
There was a stack of parchment with words written on it.
The contents of the parchment were copied by him from the forbidden area.
Kyle remembers that it was a book about alchemy, called Magical Creations: Transformation and Fusion.
Originally, he was not very interested in this book, and he kept it there after transcribing it, and he didn't read it again for a long time.
But that's no longer the case.
Helping the Weasley brothers research quick-acting truancy candy was just a little entertainment after finishing his homework, and what he wanted to know more about was Horcruxes right now.
Kyle flipped through the parchment one by one, especially the part about incorporating magic into ordinary objects, and he looked at it very closely.
After all, this is the only information he can find now that has something to do with Horcruxes.
While the relationship is a bit of a stretch, and Kyle doesn't know if Horcruxes have anything to do with alchemy, it certainly doesn't hurt to know a little more.
They're all about fusion anyway, so what if there's anything to do with it?
Soul and magic are a bit different, but it's not impossible.
……
I didn't think there was anything before, but when Kyle looked at it seriously, he realized that the content of the book was very obscure.
In order to understand these things thoroughly, Kyle mail-ordered a number of books on alchemy from Diagon Alley through an owl, and taught himself about it from scratch.
Either alchemy is a money-burning thing, even the most basic books are not less than ten Galleons, which is even darker than Lockhart, and this part alone costs Kyle a lot of Galleons.
I watched it like this for almost a month.
One night a month later, Kyle sat at his desk as usual, but this time, instead of looking at anything else, he took out a wand and tried to control the toffee in front of him, causing it to float slowly.
The village of St. Cachipol is a wizarding village, and if you use magic here, the traces will basically have no effect, and it will be difficult for the Ministry of Magic to find him.
However, to be on the safe side, Kyle will only take out his wand at night, when the Ministry of Magic is also off work, which happens to be the most crowded time.
Besides, he wasn't using his own wand, but the one that consumed the witch.
When he picked up the wand, he put it in his robe pocket and didn't give it to Professor McGonagall or anyone from the Ministry.
Although the strikers had asked him about the wand, it was more like a process, and Kyle just excused himself and said he didn't see it, and they left.
Maybe in their opinion, the Forbidden Forest is so big, it's too normal to throw a wand or something, maybe it's a small animal that will take it away.
Eventually, the wand became Kyle's trophy.
It's just not very easy to use, and there is an indescribable awkwardness, as if you are eating noodles with a spoon.
But you can't ask for so much for the things you picked up for nothing.
Under Kyle's control, the toffee began to peel off layer by layer, and after about five minutes, a whole candy turned into a "candy wrapper" as thin as a cicada's wing.
The candy wrappers are very thin, and if you look closely, you will see that each piece has a different texture on it.
Kyle pulled out another vial of light blue swelling potion and waved his wand again.
Two drops of potion floated out of the bottle, stretching and splitting in mid-air, turning into countless thin but imperceptible lines that fit the lines of the candy wrappers.
Then, the new candy wrapper begins to polymerize in the middle, turning into a whole toffee again.
That's what Kyle has learned this month, changing his physical form and then merging with each other.
It's kind of like the process of enchantment in the game.
However, unlike traditional alchemy, where enchanted gems are directly attached to weapons, Kyle's method is to crush the gems and recast them into the weapon.
The complexity is directly increased by geometric multiples, and it is no wonder that it will be placed in the forbidden book area.
Kyle picked up the toffee and looked at it under the light...... It looks like a regular candy, with no difference.
It's okay to break it open, it seems that this is a very ordinary toffee.
"Why don't you find someone to try the effect?" Kyle muttered to himself.
It's the first time he's done this kind of thing, and he really doesn't know if it's a success, and the best way is to find someone to give it a try.
Kyle mentally pondered who would test the drug.
Fred and George were the best fit, and they should be happy to try, but Kyle was the first to rule them out.
He didn't learn this to perfect the product for the twins.
And if you let them know that they can perfectly blend toffee and swelling potion, then they won't want to do anything else this summer.
Ron is a good candidate...... Obedient, easy to deceive, easy to coax, and convenient when throwing the pot.
Potter, the savior who entered the school this year, is also good, he stays in his comfort zone all the year round, and he doesn't know how sinister the human heart in the wizarding world is, so he can just take this opportunity to teach him a lesson, which can be regarded as Kyle's good intentions.
Both of these people are very suitable, who should I choose?
Kyle is a little torn.
