Chapter 89： Garlic…Cross

Chapter 89 Garlic...Cross

In the dormitory, a group of people who just finished their astronomy class are now crowded around George's bed, flipping through "Simple Alchemy" and discussing the contents of the book.

Albert never thought that "Simple Alchemy" would be so attractive to the three of Fred. Perhaps, it has something to do with the fact that the author of the book is Zuko from the joke shop.

Although the title of the book is Simple Alchemy, the content of this book is not simple at all for freshmen in the first grade. The amount of knowledge reserves is not enough, and it is still very difficult to read and understand the content of the book.

In Albert's eyes, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan will show extraordinary enthusiasm for "Simple Alchemy", because they have linked alchemy with Zoko's joke props.

If an alchemist knew about this, how would he feel about it?

Albert questioned "Simple Alchemy", the main reason was that after he finished reading the book, there were no alchemy-related skills on the panel.

According to the usual practice, listen to, read or actively learn relevant knowledge, and relevant skills will appear on the panel. No skill means that there is no alchemy in the book, or the knowledge of alchemy is not enough to form a skill.

While thinking, Albert stirred the milk tea in front of him, looked up at the three whispering, and took a sip from the teacup.

This is a good start, probably!

I just gave them a little push, what will happen in the future?

I'm really curious.

"Aren't you going to eat it?" Albert asked, shaking the biscuit he took a bite out of, "By the way, do you understand that book?"

"It's barely enough. I didn't expect Zuko to be an expert in alchemy." Lee Jordan was quite emotional. Being able to publish a book shows that he has a good level in this area.

"It's not an expert, but he has a little understanding of alchemy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make those joke props." Albert ate the biscuit in his hand, drank the milk tea in the cup by the way, got up and stretched Lazy, ready to rest.

"You finished reading that book, cough cough... water!"

Fred took a biscuit from the plate, handed it to Lee Jordan and took a bite, but he choked on his words while eating.

"After reading it, I will go to the library to return the book tomorrow." Albert poured a glass of water for Fred, "Come with me when you want to see it, and borrow it by yourself."

After taking a sip of water, Fred recovered.

"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow." George said, he picked up the biscuit from the plate handed over by Lee Jordan, took a bite, thought for a while and asked, "Have you ever thought about..."

"I don't want to." Albert interrupted.

"I haven't finished yet..." George looked at his roommate speechlessly.

"Your little thoughts are not difficult to guess." Albert showed an expression of "don't think I don't know what you are thinking" on his face, and reminded, "Alchemy is at least the content of the third grade. It is too difficult for you, I dare say that you may not understand that book."

"I don't believe you can't understand?" Fred pouted.

If he really couldn’t understand, Albert obviously wouldn’t finish the whole book, because reading a book that he couldn’t understand would undoubtedly be extremely painful.

The guy opposite obviously doesn't have that kind of habit.

"Understanding and understanding are two different things." Albert reminded, "Alchemy is not as simple as you think. That book is just a joke."

"We didn't say we wanted to learn alchemy." Fred said with cunning eyes, "We just wanted to..."

"Well, the alchemy you want..." Albert thought for a while, took out a rough cross from his robe pocket, and threw it to George, "The amulet I made can protect you from darkness." Infestation of creatures. If you want to learn, first practice the cutting spell, I am teaching you."

"You're bluffing us again!" Fred couldn't believe it, "Also, don't you think this cross is too ugly?"

Albert said solemnly: "This thing is worth two Galleons."

"Two Galleons." Fred and George couldn't help raising their voices a little bit, looking up and down at the rough cross, as if they wanted to see why this **** was worth the price.

"You can sell it in advance, can't you?" Li Qiaodan on the side couldn't help but roll his eyes at Albert when he heard this. Other people's words are six points true and four points false, which can make people who don't know it stunned.

"That's right." Albert said. "The effect of this thing is the same as the amulet in that book, and it is still made of the wood of the guardian tree. Most of the amulets sold in the market are made of the guardian tree, so there are many styles and fine workmanship, but in fact they are also That's it."

"Is this thing effective?" Fred asked suspiciously.

"On the contrary, the effect of this thing... is extremely poor." Albert paused, and then said, "According to the description in that book, you only need to soak the cross in garlic, take it out after a few days, and dry it in the sun, and then complicatedly marinate it." The last few times, you can get a garlicky crucifix."

"That's a good idea. Just give me the cross. Anyway, you can make a bunch at any time."

"But where do we get garlic?" Fred seemed interested, a garlic cross? I heard that it also has the effect of resisting dark creatures.

"You can record it on the parchment first, and try it after the Christmas holiday." The corner of Albert's mouth twitched, and he was just joking, but he didn't expect these guys to take it seriously.

He didn't want these guys to make the whole dorm smell like garlic.

As for how the twins go home to die during the Christmas break, that's not his business.

"There should be garlic in the school kitchen!" George said suddenly, "Maybe, we can find some house elves."

"If you want to eat garlic, the house elves will definitely be willing to give you some, but if you let them know..." Albert showed a malicious smile on his face, "Even if you are willing to give you garlic, how dare you waste it like this?"

"Okay!" Fred shrank his neck. If Professor McGonagall knew that they were wasting a lot of garlic in the school, the family would probably have to send a screaming letter to the school.

George wondered, "We can get garlic from the kitchen, and then use Hagrid's vegetable field to grow garlic, so we don't have to worry about the shortage of garlic."

"That's a good idea!" The others nodded in praise.

What kind of show operation is this!

Albert heard the three of them preparing to plant garlic, and was startled from ear to ear. For the first time, he felt that he and his roommate were not thinking on the agreeing channel.

"Are you really going to grow your own...garlic?"

"Of course." The twins said in unison.

"Do you know how to grow garlic?" Albert asked tentatively again.

"Don't know, but Hagrid sure does."

Albert's face twitched twice, and he didn't ask any more questions. He felt that Hagrid would probably not agree to let them make trouble in his vegetable garden.
