Hogwarts starts with stealing power

Chapter 125 Secret Key: Alchemy Association

A week later, Lin Xia received a gift from Mr. Ollivander.

It has been raining and humid these days.

Even at noon, students were not in high spirits.

Lin Xia and Draco specially sat by the window, eating lunch while watching the Gryffindor team training on the court.

Each academy requires training, and pitches need to be applied for in advance.

This week, the Gryffindor team lined up until noon, so you can see the little lions struggling at noon.

Lin Xia used the super-sensory spell to magnify his vision and saw that it was quite high-definition. During training, the team would play a 3V3 match.

Draco originally used a telescope, but it was too inconvenient for him to eat, so he recently worked hard to practice psychic spells.

I don't know if it was because of his hobbies and interests, but his progress in practicing the super-sensory spell was faster than Lin Xia imagined.

Although it will be Friday when he reaches the point where he can practice it, but it takes one day at a time, right?
Lin Xia decided to conceal the estimated time in a good manner.

A large group of owls descended through the tall windows, their hairs covered with tiny droplets of water, making them look wet.

Except for Lin Xia's owl, its wings were fluffy and refreshing.

It has to be said that the owl postmen in the British wizarding world are really tenacious. Wind, rain and blizzard cannot stop them.

Lin Xia didn't know if other owls also had the function of preventing wind, but she prepared a full-proof badge for her owl in advance, which was inspired by Ollivander.

Ever since the owl sent her a letter to Diagon Alley and returned with a fever badge, Lin Xia has been very interested in this kind of small object.

It's a pity that she doesn't know alchemy, otherwise she could modify it by herself. In the end, she entrusted someone to give the badge to an alchemist, and spent 200 gold galleons to transform the fever badge into one that is windproof, coldproof, snowproof, and waterproof. rain.

The alchemist was very satisfied with Lin Xia's advance payment, and also provided a small "anti-evil curse" function.

Opening the envelope, there was a letter and a silver card inside.

[You have an extraordinary talent in making wands. I was originally applying to join this organization for you, but some people inside thought that you were just lucky to be able to make a magnetic wand.

But now you are already researching the "natural wand", which is a greater wand than the magnetic wand, and is determined to change the wand pattern in the wizarding world!

I believe that your talent cannot be wasted forever, so I have used my power to appoint you to the job, although this will prevent me from appointing anyone within ten years.

However, I believe that my choice is not wrong, and you will definitely be able to shine in the field of alchemy. I have always believed that people who can make wands have extraordinary alchemical talents.

——Ollivander]

Lin Xia picked up the small card and looked at it, her eyes flashing slightly. The pattern on the card seemed familiar.

The front of the card shows a golden sun surrounded by endless stars, while the back of the card shows a silver moon in the middle, surrounded by countless stars.

She paused slightly as she turned over the card. Isn't this pattern... the pattern of the secret key?

Although there are differences between the patterns, the sun and moon are both the same.

Draco was curious about the card in her hand, so Lin Xia handed it over.

Draco asked: "What is this? It looks familiar."

Soon, he also reacted, "Is this the secret key?"

Lin Xia gave an ambiguous answer: "Probably, but the Hogwarts Excellent Student Badge cannot be used to redeem this secret key."

She didn't expect that besides Hogwarts using cards to convey information, other institutions outside would also use similar methods.

After dinner, return to the golden wooden house.

Lin Xia took out the secret key sent by Ollivander. In addition to the letter and the secret key, the envelope also contained a key to activate the secret key - a silver ring.

The design of the silver ring is very smart. It is not purely made of metal, but is woven from black leather and silver metal rings.

The inner lining that is in contact with your fingers is soft as leather, and the exterior silver metal shape is also very cool.

There are only a few lines, but it gives people the feeling of having an eye.

The beauty of two-dimensional space is vividly displayed.

Lin Xia picked up the silver ring and observed it, and found that the silver ring seemed to be one, but in fact it was made of two overlapping. The junction of the leather and the silver ring - a very small connection, was made into a Mobius. Ring style chain clasp.

The silver ring was several times larger than Lin Xia's finger, but once it was put on, the Möbius ring seemed to slide like flowing water, and it adjusted to the appropriate size in a short while.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xia pointed the secret key at the silver ring and swiped it.

Yes, although they are both secret keys, they are opened in completely different ways.

The internal exchange of information at Hogwarts requires the outstanding student badge and the secret key to be embedded, but the exchange of information in this organization only requires swiping the card on the silver ring.

After a while, a transparent blue light screen appeared in front of Lin Xia.

[Welcome, respected alchemy talent owner, welcome to join the Alchemist Association]

[Identity information verification, passed]

[Binder: Lin Xia]

After the information was confirmed, the light screen turned and came to Lin Xia's personal information interface.

Alchemy Apprentice: Lin Xia

Alchemy knowledge points: 10 points (as a gift from Ollivander, which can be used to view relevant alchemy knowledge and seek help from alchemists)
Alchemy knowledge possessed: None
Credit score: 100 (full score)
This interface is very refreshing and clear at a glance.

Lin Xia did some research and found that in addition to personal information, there are also [Task Area], [Help Area], [Discussion Area] and [Knowledge Area].

She clicked through them one by one. [Task Area] allows alchemists to accept tasks. Most of these tasks are issued by organizations and a few are issued by individuals.

Lin Xia also saw the task issued by Hogwarts. The requirement is for the alchemist apprentice to refine more than 10 guardian talismans. Each time he completes one refining, he will get 1 knowledge point, with a maximum of 30 points, which can be obtained every week. make once.

There are also other fragmentary tasks. The minimum guarantee is 1 knowledge point, and there is no cap to obtain.

From this perspective, it seems that acquiring knowledge points is not difficult.

Then Lin Xia clicked on the [Knowledge Area].

The books here do not differentiate between banned books and online reading like Hogwarts does. All knowledge is obtained online.

But Lin Xia didn't think that there were no banned books on alchemy. It was most likely that she couldn't access it at her current level.

Lin Xia clicked on the [Help Area] and [Discussion Area] again.

These two areas are somewhat similar in that they both raise a question or point of view.

It's just that the help area is paid for answering, and the responder needs to ensure that his or her answer is correct.

If the requester fails to verify according to the respondent's method, he can appeal to the association to get back the knowledge points he paid. If the association determines that the answer is failed, the respondent's credit points will also be deducted.

[Discussion Forum] is a free discussion. Everyone can express their opinions and throw out their own ideas without being responsible for it.

Lin Xia was more interested in the [discussion forum] than [the person asking for help].

After just glancing at it, she was very interested in the imaginative content and clicked on a post to watch.

[Water post: The magic world should reform the monetary system of gold Galleons, silver Sickles and copper Nats. This base calculation method is not scientific at all! 】

I am the Great Alchemist: from the Muggle world? The wizarding world has been using this currency system for a long time. If you are not used to it, don’t use it and go back to the Muggle world!

Simple words and modesty: Don't be so violent upstairs, your ancestors were just ordinary people if they were thirty generations ago.

Hope to make an alchemical dragon: I also find this currency system very uncomfortable. We in the United States do not use this system, so it is very uncomfortable to exchange currency every time I go to the UK.

I am the Great Alchemist: Go away, the inflation in your house has increased so many times, it would be great if I could exchange it for you!
Lin Xia calmly finished flipping through it, thinking that it turns out there are keyboard warriors in the wizarding world.

She could also give herself a nickname, but Lin Xia thought about it and decided to use it as her own.

Don’t change your name when you work, don’t change your surname when you sit down, do things down-to-earth, and be an upright person.

Using one's real name is a warning and a spur.

There are classes in the afternoon.

Lin Xia took a short rest and went to the Defense Against Dark Arts class full of energy.

Since the middle and late stages of last semester, Professor Oti has devoted himself to teaching everyone "Expelliarmus", but the effect has not been very good.

This semester has just begun, and Professor Oti is still teaching everyone "Expelliarmus", and the progress has become very gratifying.

One winter vacation passed, and the little wizard made great progress.

Last semester, I had a hard time reciting the curse, but as soon as this semester started, I could recite it smoothly, and I could hit it five times out of ten.

For a little wizard whose performance is unstable, this probability is already considered very good.

Professor Oti announced in class on the spot that the next class would teach everyone another kind of magic spell, which is a defensive spell that is often used.

After class, Ron said loudly: "It must be the Iron Armor Curse. This is the most powerful defensive spell I know."

Hermione immediately waved her wand and said: "Armor for protection!"

Nothing appears.

Ron laughed: "You failed, Hermione. This spell is very difficult for everyone. Even you can't cast it at once."

Hermione said calmly: "Harry, punch me."

Harry: "Huh?"

Ron pulled away from Harry, "No need for him, I'll give it a try!"

He punched Hermione in the face, not hard, just for show.

A counter-shock force hit him, and Ron couldn't help but take a few steps back, his fists turning red.

He said in surprise: "Hermione, you actually cast the Iron Armor Charm!"

Hermione said with a proud look on her face: "It's not as difficult as I thought."

Lin Xia and Draco stood aside, watching them laughing and playing, but they both smiled and said nothing.

Both of them learned the Iron Armor Curse as early as last semester and practiced it more intensively during the winter vacation. They can master it anytime and anywhere.

Lin Xia is already very proficient in the silent casting of the Iron Armor Curse. Draco has also been practicing silent casting recently. Since practicing, his talent has been catching up with Lin Xia's.

Suddenly, Lin Xia saw Professor Quirrell.

He was in class next door and came over after class to ask Professor Oti something.

Hearing his voice from a distance, Professor Quirrell doesn't seem to stutter much?
Hermione also saw Professor Quirrell and said, "A friend told me that Professor Quirrell's teaching quality has improved this semester. Oh, that friend of mine is a Ravenclaw."

If you want to conquer the smart Ravenclaws, you must have some ability in class, otherwise they might as well study on their own.

Just as he was about to look back, another student approached the two professors, it was Mikel.

Lin Xia asked casually: "Why hasn't Mikel been with you recently?"
