Chapter 15: Caleb Fights with the Pawns
Hope was blinded when he entered the door, Caleb and the wizard were fighting? Hope rubbed his eyes, and then looked, Caleb was really playing chess with wizards.
I saw Caleb angrily slap the table and shout at the wizard chess in the chessboard: "Why don't you go up when you are told to go up?" ”
Knight Pawn: "If you go up, I'll die, I won't go." ”
Caleb pointed at the knight and scolded angrily: "If you don't go up and stop it, the king will die, and we will lose, what about your chivalry?" ”
The knight retorted: "With your bad skills, even if I die, you can't win, and I don't make meaningless sacrifices." ”
Caleb: "Ling****"
Matteo, who was desperate next to him, saw Hope and said excitedly: "You're back, my God, Caleb has been scolding the chess pieces for almost an hour." ”
Hope was interested in seeing this vivid chess piece, as if he had a soul, and in the rules set at the beginning, he had the ability to think independently, and the magic was really magical.
Hope waved his hand to show that he could not do anything, if the chess piece doubted the chess player's ability, he would refuse to carry out the order, which he had seen in a book before, Hope asked curiously: "Caleb, how many times has this lost, and the chess pieces don't believe him anymore." ”
Matteo thought for a moment, "Looks like Caleb hasn't won in one afternoon." Matteo rubbed his head and said, "It seems that I will have to buy a new deck when I play chess with him in the future." Why don't we do two? ”
Hope shook his head and refused, he doesn't know how to play chess, Caleb has made you stunned, he doesn't look for guilt, he doesn't think there is a need to buy a new one, Caleb shouldn't play chess with you again in the future.
Hope lay down on the bed and pulled out a copy of "Basic Transfiguration Analysis" from his suitcase, and the advanced transfiguration seemed to be able to temporarily give life to the soul of the transformation, making them look more lifelike, and he wanted to study it.
After reading for a while, Hope put down the book, obviously the primary transfiguration technique would not involve such a profound thing, looked at the wizard Chess Caleb and Matteo, who was still studying the wand, and asked, "Aren't you two going to write?" Professor Flitwick still gives quite a lot of homework. ”
The two shook their heads, "There's a Charms class next week, what's the hurry." ”
Hope shrugged helplessly: "Anyway, I don't have homework, don't come to learn from me when the time comes." I'm going to the library, do you have one? ”
The two looked at Hope disapprovingly, and gave him an international gesture, saying in unison, "No." ”
Looking at the map, Hope went all the way to the library, he wanted to find some advanced Transfiguration materials to see, but now he had a new idea, although there was a map, it seemed quite inconvenient, to put it bluntly, it was just a simplified map of Hogwarts.
Think about the lack of virtue map he used in his last life, there is no comparison, if he can make a map similar to the lack of virtue, can know where he is, what is around, and plan a magic map of the destination route, it must be very easy to sell, the magic world should have the appearance of the magic world, what kind of map is a piece of paper?
After deciding to start looking for books on this subject, first of all, this map belongs to the scope of alchemy, although his mother Teresa is a fairly famous alchemist, but he has not been in contact with it, so first he needs to understand what alchemy items are.
The library was indeed very large, and he searched for a long time but did not find the book he wanted, so he should consult the librarian, Mrs. Pins, first.
Coincidentally, Mrs. Pince was looking at a book and was still thinking in pieces, "The book released this year is a bit unsatisfactory." ”
Hope looked curiously at the cover of the book "Wizard Domination" with the name of the second middle school, but this name is a bit similar to the middle two god book he wrote this year.
Mrs. Pince, who noticed someone, glanced at Hope and said, "This is a private collection, not within the scope of borrowing, if you want to see it, go to the bookstore and grab it." ”
Hope was stunned for a moment, this book was quite popular, shook his head and said, "You misunderstood, I want to ask where the alchemy book is." ”
"From here, go straight to the fifth row, and the fourth bookshelf is all about alchemy." Mrs. Pince said without raising her head. "Remember not to scribble on books, and don't make loud noises in the library, or I'll make you look good."
Hope nodded in understanding, and according to Mrs. Pince's guidance, he came to the bookshelf where alchemy books were placed, "Teach You 20 Alchemy Items" by hand attracted Hope's attention, the author's name is Jokowi, a little familiar.
The alchemy items in the book are very interesting, such as the bite cup, an alchemical item that bites a person's nose when he drinks water, and some make Hope wonder if it is an alchemy item after all, such as this one, the vampire expelled the cross, and actually soaked the wooden cross in garlic juice.
He remembered seeing this creature in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", vampires just had a more sensitive nose and hated pungent things, garlic was one of them, and didn't it drown the wood into the smell, this counts alchemy?
After watching it for a while, Hope put it down, most of them are some props used for pranks, which is a bit far from what he wants, and it seems that it is very necessary to have a good teacher.
He decided to write a letter to his mother first to ask for his opinion.
After borrowing a copy of "Intermediate Transfiguration" and "Teach You 20 Alchemy Gadgets by Hand", Hope came to the public owl room on the roof of the school, he didn't have an owl yet, so he could only borrow the school's public owl, and chose one that looked more powerful, gave a little owl feed, and happily went to deliver the letter, but the secrecy of the place where his mother worked was a bit high, and he didn't know if he could receive it.
All the way back to the Hufflepuff lounge, Caleb actually quarreled with the chess pieces again, and this time Mattio was also dragged in, and the chess pieces on Mattio's side actually disliked the opponent too weak and disdained to be an enemy with him.
The magic is amazing, Hope sighed and obediently went to the common room to read a book.
Just as Hope was fascinated by it, a familiar voice came: "Hope, why are you alone in the common room?" ”
Hope looked up and said, "Good evening, Cedric, you may not believe it, my roommate is scolding the wizard chess." ”
Cedric:??
"Don't talk about that, have you eaten? I'm going to go to the kitchen and order something to eat, together? ”
Hope looked out the window, it was already completely dark, was it already this time? He closed the book and said, "Let's go, I want to know where the kitchen is." ”
Follow Cedric out of the lounge, take two steps, and stop at a portrait, where Cedric familiarly scratches a pear on the painting, and the pear giggles twice and turns into a doorknob.
Hope knew that the kitchen was close to the lounge, but he 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 serve?" ”
Cedric said expertly, "Prepare a sandwich and a glass of pumpkin juice for me." ”
"Me too, but I want a glass of honey lemonade, thank you," Hope said. ”
Pumpkin juice is not directly juiced from pumpkin, there are other condiments in it, and it tastes weird.
Beta bent low and said respectfully, "You are too polite, Beta is happy to serve you." After saying that, he hurried to prepare.
