Chapter 136 Impossible Art of Food Creation

In the dead of night, in Ted's "private laboratory".

Ansu and Parker were still keeping watch for him, lest the professor or Filch find out.

In fact, the relationship between Ted and Mrs. Norris is very good now, and now Mao Mao goes to Ted's place to eat snacks without telling Filch.He is especially interested in mice, which makes Ansu very upset, and often swoops in the corridors of the castle to retaliate when no one is around~
Filch thought that his cat was sick, so he didn't eat, and took him to the school hospital to ask for medicine.

Under the light of the fire, there were still a few mice and the long-tailed monkey in the cage.

Ordinarily, Ted's experiment has been completed, and the long-tailed monkey with a rough face and a thunderous mouth should be put back.

The question is, isn't this new experiment coming again?
Professor Kettleburn: My monkey is gone!Has anyone seen my monkey? !
……

Ted has been secretly studying Azeroth's water-making and food-making skills in recent days.

From Ted's point of view, these two magics are almost the most difficult to transform into native magic.

If it wasn't for Ted's knowledge of druid transformation, he would not have dared to try it.

There are traces of other water and fire magic, any magic suppression, and even "awakening".

Awakening can restore a large amount of magic power in the body in a short period of time. If it is studied according to the path of the wizard's blood, it is not impossible.

But making water and making food are different.

The water-making technique is better, at least the native land has the magic spell of "clear spring is like water", which can conjure water.

The difference is only whether the water can be drunk, and whether it can restore magic power and physical strength.

But that cannibalism is completely different.

Can the wizarding world use magic power to conjure food out of thin air?

able!Can't.

It is said that it can be done because it can still be transformed.

If you say you can't, it means that it has been transformed into a superficial appearance, and you can't eat it.

In the field of transfiguration, there is a well-known basic law of Gamp's transfiguration.

There are five major exceptions, the first of which is that food cannot be conjured out of thin air.

You can turn raw materials into food. For example, if you have flour and water, you can turn it into bread, which simplifies the steps.

Most house witches are skilled, as Aunt Molly does every day at home.

It is said that water can be changed, why can't food be changed?
Ted has done an experiment, and the water he conjures with the water-making spell is drinkable.

Small white mice and long-tailed monkeys can prove it~
But not the food.

The little white mouse ate the donut that he had conjured up, and died of pain in less than 5 minutes.

After the autopsy, it was found that the stomach had been greatly damaged, and there were no food residues.There is a problem here.

Ted once again used the water-making technique to create a magic spring that could restore magic power, and fed it to the mice.

The doses of the three mice were different, and their performances were also different.

Two of them were in great pain, running around and screaming.

The last one was so excited that it started dancing wildly in the cage...

This one survived yesterday's experiment, and among the eight mice that have been used as test subjects so far, there is only one "fortunate" to participate in the third round of experiments.

Five minutes later, the other two mice died, with protruding eyeballs and slightly swollen bodies.

Take it out and dissect it with a knife, the muscles and blood vessels are all damaged in different ways, but there is nothing wrong with the brain.

"Like the consequences of excessive magic infestation?!" Ted was not sure.

He recorded the experimental process and data in his notes, and wrote down his conjectures and subsequent experimental steps.

An Su looked at the two dead mice, and shook his head in distress: "The death is so miserable, I must not eat it, I have to throw it away, what a waste!"
And the long-tailed monkey in the cage covered its mouth with its paws, leaned against the side of the cage with a face of horror, and stayed as far away from Ted as possible, wishing to stuff itself into the iron bars.

Its IQ is not bad, at least it can be seen that many mice have died in the past few days, all of which were watered to death by this boy~
And he still has the intention to pour himself!
Long-tailed Thief Monkey: Help!Someone killed the monkey!Come on, I don't dare to steal anymore~~~
"Clean up this place, and bury the little white mouse in a remote place outside the castle." Ted ordered, then performed an invisibility technique on himself, and went back to bed.

An Su naturally followed, flapped his wings silently, and disappeared into the corridor.

Psicrystal Kappa moves his legs, then uses psionic powers to direct invisible servants created by magic to work.

Two invisible human-shaped energy bodies floated out of the window with the dead mouse, and went to the edge of the forbidden forest in the distance to dig a hole to bury the mouse.

Invisible servants are very useful, they don’t eat or drink, don’t complain, and don’t need to be paid.

The only downside is that it has average intelligence and cannot give too complicated orders.

But Psicrystal Parker can direct them in detail, which makes up for the shortcomings.

……

The next day, Ted came outside Professor McGonagall's office after school.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Come in."

Ted pushed open the door and entered.

Professor McGonagall looked up and saw that it was Ted.

Yo, rare guest!

She sat up straight, took off her glasses and wiped them with a fine cotton cloth, and looked at Ted unkindly.

Ted has gotten into trouble a lot this year, and was fined to go to the Forbidden Forest.

If it weren't for the rapid progress in his transformation technique recently, it seems that he has put in a lot of effort, and I have to deal with him~
"Ted, what can you do?" Professor McGonagall continued to wipe his glasses, even unwilling to look up at him.

Ted showed a very sunny smile, just like when he was taken to Diagon Alley by McGonagall.

"Professor, I have some questions about Transfiguration that I would like to ask."

I don't know if it was Ted's bright smile that worked, or Professor McGonagall's efforts in Transfiguration moved her. She finally put on her glasses and looked at Ted.

"Sit down." Professor McGonagall waved lightly, and a chair appeared behind Ted.

Ted sat across the desk, holding a thick notebook, very well-behaved.

"Tell me, what questions do you have?" Ted's pretentiousness worked, and Professor McGonagall found him somewhat pleasing to the eye.

"Professor, I would like to ask you about Gump's basic deformation laws, especially the first of the five exceptions..."

Professor McGonagall pushed his glasses and looked at Ted carefully: "It's too early for you to know about this."

Gump's basic deformation rules are extracurricular extended knowledge for fifth graders.

But she thought about it, even if she didn't say it, with Ted's character, she might look for it by herself.Doesn't he already know something?
"Well, do you have any questions about not being able to conjure food?" she asked.

"Professor, is it really impossible to conjure food? I mean, is it really impossible to eat?"

Professor McGonagall stared into Ted's eyes, "Listen to you, you've already tried it, right? You're not stupid enough to eat what you conjured up, are you?"

Ted sneered: "Of course not. But why is the water from a clear spring like water drinkable?"

"Fool, because clear springs like water are magic spells, not transfiguration..."

For the extra training of good students, Professor McGonagall told Ted a lot about Gump's basic transformation rules, especially the "conjure food" that Ted asked.

Most of the time, Transfiguration can only conjure things that you are familiar with, and most of them are not permanent.

This is why the transformed food cannot be eaten. When the magic effect wears off, it is difficult to say what is in your stomach.

Magic can even cause unforeseen dire destruction and consequences.

That's why Gamp's Basic Transfiguration Law stipulates that food cannot be conjured out of thin air.

Actually can it?
can!
Just as Newton's three laws have limitations, Gamp's basic deformation laws are naturally only relative to the normal state.

Sophisticated polymorphing can conjure food, but it's very, very, very difficult!

The difficulty is completely out of proportion to the benefits.

At least one has to be a master of transfiguration to be eligible to attempt research in this area.

Even Professor McGonagall never thought of such an unreliable research direction.

Are the ingredients so expensive?There is absolutely no need to conjure up food!

You can definitely produce fruit on a fruit tree.

Although it cannot be born out of thin air, it can accelerate growth, and it can also use growth spells and expansion spells.

The productivity of the wizarding world is very high, as can be seen from Hagrid's Halloween pumpkin.

Once this powerful productivity is put into production, there is no need to worry about the survival materials.

This is why many wizards are weird, they have no pressure to survive at all.Food, clothing and housing are not a problem at all, so naturally you can do whatever you want.

Think about it if Professor Quirrell put the spirit of studying the blood of magical animals on improving species.

That's true: fat pigs are better than elephants, but the nose is short, and the whole school kills one bite, which is enough to eat for half a year.

……

In any case, Ted at least learned that the magic world also has a magical effect similar to the creation of food.It's just very high end.

You can still continue your research.

It's nothing more than more design experiments and attempts.

Write, I need more guinea pigs!
