Albert knew nothing about Dumbledore's meeting with Flamel and his wife, and he was now frantically absorbing the alchemical knowledge mentioned at the party.
This time, I really came to the right place.
Although everyone did not fully disclose their results, Albert still learned a lot of useful things, which can be said to be a huge gain. The direct reflection is that his alchemy skills and experience have skyrocketed.
Moreover, most wizards are willing to maintain owl contact with him. Naturally, Albert welcomes all comers, but he is very strange, when did he become a popular person in everyone's eyes?
Could it be that they are very optimistic about their future?
Albert quickly shook off the unnecessary thoughts in his mind and listened carefully to Adolf's explanation of the important principles of the double-sided mirror.
In fact, double-way mirrors are not a secret in the wizarding world. However, the double-way mirrors that were very popular in the wizarding world in the past have basically disappeared from the market.
"I have a question!" Albert waited until Adolf finished speaking and then asked his doubts, "Why are there basically no people selling double-way mirrors now?"
"Mr. Anderson, as I just said, the manufacturing process of double-sided mirrors has disappeared for many years." Adolf said regretfully.
"Actually, many people know the general principle of this magic mirror. However, after the death of its maker, Blair Bursted, the technology for making double-sided mirrors disappeared, and no one can make the double-sided mirror anymore.
Bosted’s double-sided mirror.”
"As I said, double-way mirrors were once popular in the magic world. At that time, there were still a large number of double-way mirrors in the magic world. No one would make inferior products because they simply couldn't be sold."
Later, as the double-way mirrors were damaged, the remaining number became less and less, making it difficult to find double-way mirrors on the market. The manufacturing technology of double-way mirrors was gradually forgotten by people. Of course, the most important thing is
Another point is that if you want to make a double-sided mirror, you must be proficient in the transformation spells in both alchemy and transfiguration.
The essence of a magic mirror like a double-sided mirror is the advanced application of the transformation spell. However, there are very few wizards who can use it on magic mirrors.
Even if you are proficient in alchemy and transmutation spells and successfully create a double-sided mirror, the magic released on the item will weaken over time.
The double-sided mirror manufactured by Blair Bursted has no such problem, and no one knows the secret until now.
"This is actually not surprising. Many ancient crafts have been gradually lost or eliminated by the times, such as the disappearing cabinet that was very popular in the First Wizarding War."
"No, sir, I think many people have got it wrong." Albert reminded kindly, "Actually, double-way mirrors are still very popular. Take a couple of my friends at Hogwarts as an example.
, after they graduate from Hogwarts, they will definitely need a double-sided mirror to keep in touch. This method is much faster than writing letters, what do you think?"
At this moment, everyone present was stunned, and then someone couldn't help but laugh and nodded: "What you said is absolutely correct, but we old men have a rigid thinking."
Families can use double-sided mirrors to communicate with their children at Hogwarts, and couples can also use double-sided mirrors to communicate, just like video calls, but many people don't think of this.
"Mr. Anderson, you seem to be very interested in double-sided mirrors?" Adolf asked curiously, "Can you tell me why?"
"I think this technology is very promising." Albert explained, "If I have a two-way mirror, I can stay in touch with my family on time every week without spending time writing letters. If we have a two-way mirror,
If you want to talk about some alchemical topics, you don't need to write letters. Although the owl is convenient, it takes time to come and go, and letters sometimes cannot perfectly express a person's thoughts."
"In the Muggle world, there is something called a telephone, which allows people in two places to communicate with each other through words, and the technology of the double-sided mirror obviously goes a step further and shortens the distance between the two parties."
"What a great idea." Adolf applauded, "If you want the knowledge of double-sided mirrors, I don't mind sharing my research with you. Maybe one day you will be able to invent a better magic mirror. Don't forget it then.
Please write my name on it too!"
Hearing the last sentence, everyone couldn't help laughing. They all knew it was just a joke. The wizards here don't care much about fame and fortune, because they are so famous in the magic world.
"Thank you for your generosity." Albert bowed slightly towards the old wizard, "If there is such a day, I will."
At this moment, everyone was quite surprised and didn't understand why Albert was optimistic about the double-sided mirror. Even though they had just heard Albert talk about the reasons, they still didn't understand.
Magic is very convenient. Wizards rarely have a sense of distance. If necessary, an Apparition or Floo powder can reach the destination instantly.
This is also one of the reasons why double-sided mirrors are gradually being phased out, as people no longer need them.
However, such a technology still has many uses in Albert's eyes. It can only be said that there is a certain gap in the thinking models of the two parties.
Albert glanced at his task panel.
Lost technology.
You have come into contact with the knowledge of double-way mirrors and become interested in it. However, this technology has been lost for many years. Find this technology and recreate a pair of double-way mirrors.
Reward: 10,000 experience, 1 skill point, double-sided mirror skill level 1, reputation in the magic world 500.
"What is the disappearing cabinet?" Albert asked again.
"The disappearing cabinet is like a double-sided mirror. There is a pair. It can act as a passage between two places. If an object is placed in the disappearing cabinet, it will appear in another disappearing cabinet." This time he was answered.
Smith.
"The Vanishing Cabinet was very popular during the First Wizarding War. When people were attacked by Death Eaters, they could use the Vanishing Cabinet to appear in another place and escape."
"Of course, there are two problems with this kind of thing. The cost of making a pair of disappearing cabinets is too high. If the cabinet is broken, it needs to be repaired by professionals before it can be used again. In today's peaceful world, naturally no one will use such expensive magic items.
.”
The Vanishing Cabinet feels a bit like a portal to Albert, well, it is a portal.
However, the teleportation magic in the magic world is so advanced that technology like the disappearing cabinet has been forgotten by people. After all, compared to two spoonfuls of floo powder, the disappearing cabinet is too expensive, and it is also too expensive.
Very inconvenient.
However, in Albert's eyes, every technology has its value, and the disappearing cabinet is no exception.
