In the early morning, Albert opened his eyes and suddenly sat up from the bed.
He had a very strange dream.
In the dream, it seemed that... after he married Isobel, Kathleen brought a child and said it was his daughter.
Then, Isobel grabbed his neck and said that he betrayed her?
"These are all messy dreams." Albert stretched out his hand to cover his cheek and murmured.
Could it be that because Katherine was so beautiful, he had some strange thoughts, so he had this strange dream?
Albert thought this was quite ridiculous.
He suppressed a yawn, raised his head and glanced at the unfamiliar room, and his eyes fell on the clothes neatly arranged on the table.
After changing his clothes, getting up and washing up, Albert went directly to the living room.
The two old men were already here, talking about something unknown, 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." Albert moved his neck a little, "Maybe he's in a strange place and he's not used to sleeping!"
Nicholas smiled and handed the New York Ghost to Albert.
"The reporters from the New York Ghost know that you are in the United States, and they are looking for you everywhere." Nicholas reminded: "They obviously want to interview you, the youngest international wizard chess champion in history."
There is also an interview above. The wizard named Carter said a lot of bad things about Albert.
"No matter where the newspaper is, it is bound to attract people's attention." After reading his part of the report, Albert casually placed the New York Phantom on the table.
"It's normal, unless you open your own newspaper." Nicholas said with a smile.
Soon, the house elf served a hearty breakfast, including milk, croissants, fried sausages, fried potatoes, fried eggs, fried mushrooms, tomatoes, and a large spoonful of stewed peanuts.
It’s similar to British breakfast.
In other words, in order to take care of the diet of the two of them, this kind of breakfast was prepared.
"Isn't Miss Catherine up yet?"
When Albert was dining, he was a little surprised when he didn't see Katherine, so he asked casually.
"She had something to do and left early in the morning." Nicholas said with a smile, "However, Kathleen is very happy to meet you, but she was a little bit shocked by you."
"Were you hit by me?"
"Yes, Katherine's talent was discovered by me when she was very young. Later, when she went to Ilvermorny Magic Academy, she immediately showed her amazing talent and became a famous genius in the school." Nicholas shouted.
She took a sip of milk and recalled: "It's just that because of her childhood, she has always been relatively withdrawn and has few friends."
For some reason, Albert smelled something unusual, didn't answer, and continued to eat.
In fact, Isobel should be quite suitable to be Catherine's friend. Both parties are geniuses, and there will probably be many topics to talk about. But the dream in the morning made Albert completely give up the idea of introducing Isobel to her.
After breakfast, the two went to Nicholas's workshop, which was in a utility room outside the villa. It was cast with a traceless stretching spell. There were a large number of alchemical equipment neatly placed in the room, even bigger than Nicholas's.
The family is even more exaggerated.
"Is this dark powder?"
Sera saw the magic items placed randomly on the table, and was slightly surprised to see this thing here.
"According to your suggestion, I made it into a stealth smoke bomb." Nicholas pointed to the stealth smoke bomb and introduced to them: "Of course, your set of craftsmanship has been improved several times. Now Peru has already
It can stably and continuously produce dark powder. Many wizards in the black market like this thing, and it is very suitable for escape."
"That's not what I proposed," Sierra pointed at Albert and said, "Do you mind letting me see your new technology?"
"do not mind."
Nicholas showed them the manufacturing process of dark powder. He was not worried that the other party would use this to make money, because the Peruvian side was already monopolized by him and his friends.
Watching Nicholas skillfully mix and heat some ground ore powder with concentrated plant fruit powder, and after some processing, finally extract the dark powder, which made Albert feel like this was real alchemy.
Nicholas also asked Albert if he wanted to try it.
Albert followed Nicholas' method and successfully created dark powder after two attempts, and mastered this skill by the way.
The latter is not too surprising. After all, he is a genius. It is normal to be able to achieve this level. The manufacturing process of dark powder is not difficult.
"This is the extract of sleepy beans."
Nicholas pointed to a bottle of silver thick juice and introduced to them, "Taking it directly can remove people's memories. Dilute it with the venom of the Winged Demon in a certain ratio to create a powerful amnesia agent."
"The Magical Congress of the United States of America purchases a certain amount of sleepy bean extract from me every year." Nicholas continued, "Last time Newt helped them solve the problems exposed by the American wizarding community, and the Ministry of Magic also wants to follow the example of mass erasure of memories.
Skills. Unfortunately, they couldn't find a wizard to tame the thunderbird, so they had to let the wizard ride a broom..."
Having said this, Nicholas showed a malicious smile.
"Of course, more of them are used by the Magical Injuries and Injuries Hospital in the United States. As long as the dosage is appropriate, it can erase some bad memories. It is more effective than the forgetting spell."
"Of course, this thing is expensive, because it requires a large amount of sleepy beans to extract such a test tube of silver extract. This is also the source of my apparent Zhuoguo."
"What is that?" Albert noticed a sealed test tube placed in a cold glass box.
"That's the Potential Potion." Nicholas said softly.
"The potential potion in Zygmunt Bacchi's "Book of Potions"?"
"Yes." Nicholas took out the test tube from the glass box, handed it to Albert and said, "The situation of American potionists is not much better than that of alchemists. However, we can always find a way to survive."
"Not all descendants of wizards can possess powerful magic. Many famous and wealthy wizard families are keen to give this potion to their children to stimulate their magical potential and make them ahead of other wizards in certain aspects.
Nicholas continued, "After they graduate from school, they can enter the Magical Congress of the United States of America, become an excellent Auror, or get other more promising careers."
"Have American wizards mastered how to grow phantom-smelling grass?" Albert asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I have tried it, but the effect is very poor. Most of the cultivated phantom smelling grass is dead, and it is not as high-quality as the phantom smelling grass from the magic garden. Before it can be made into a potential potion, it usually needs to be purified. The extract can be used directly to make the potential potion.
Potion.”
"They were all forced out by money!" Albert said softly.
"After all, they don't have a lot of takubo to squander like me." Nicholas is very aware of the difficulty of others.
The alchemists and potionists in America are relatively united, forming an intricate network of relationships through interests. This is one of the reasons why Nicholas was able to obtain a large amount of magic raw materials.
"Didn't they try to work on the Baffy Refresher?"
"Yes, but that thing is a bit dangerous and unstable. It requires a very skilled potion master to successfully refine it."
In fact, those potion masters also want to make money by making Bafei brain-refreshing potions, but if they don't get it right, they may drink people into fools.
It is better to make money by making the elixir. At least if the elixir fails and is poisoned, you can still be saved.
"I know a potions master." Albert thought for a moment and then said, "Hettok Dagworth, I think you may have heard of his name. I once asked him to help me create a Buffy awakening brain.
It’s a drug, but it does have some effect.”
"Of course, I can also make Bafei Awakening Potion, but it's hard to get rune snake eggs." Albert suddenly said, "And it requires more practice."
"The raw materials can be obtained from Burkina Faso." Nicholas understood what Albert meant and said, "As long as you have a way to provide reliable Bafe brain-refreshing agent."
"Burkina Faso?"
"In a small country in Africa, there is a forest specifically for the protection of rune snakes, and there are many wizards who specialize in raising rune snakes for sale." Nicholas said without thinking, "The rune snake fangs needed for floo powder are also
Got it from that country."
Many people directly use the powder made from the fangs of the rune snake instead of floo powder, and end up blowing themselves up, but they don't know that the stuff still needs to be alchemically processed to make floo powder.
"Okay, let's talk about this!" Albert shook the potential potion and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I hope you can become Catherine's friend." Nicholas said seriously, "After she becomes my heir, she is destined to have no good friends in the future. As both geniuses, you should have a lot of topics to talk about.
."
"Are you sure they are just friends?" Albert asked.
"Of course, if you want to chase my granddaughter, I won't..."
"No, I already have a girlfriend." Albert shook his head and said, "However, if it is a friend who communicates in magic and alchemy, I would be very happy. We can communicate through the double-sided mirror."
Albert could see that Nicholas cared about his granddaughter.
