Chapter 131: Insufficient alchemical theory
Does Nia feel similar pressure?
Albert has never really thought about this problem seriously.
In the past, even if people around him thought Albert was a genius, he never thought that he was really a genius. People need to be self-aware.
But after seeing Katrina’s situation, he was a little worried about Nia’s situation?
If it were you, growing up under the halo of other people's genius, you would probably be very depressed.
The next day, Albert forgot about this matter. Xue La came back and brought him the medicinal materials used in the vision potion.
Before thoroughly investing in the preparation of the developing potion, Albert habitually recorded the matter in his small notebook to prevent him from forgetting it when he was busy with work.
The ingredients for the developing potion have been gathered, but configuring the potion is still a problem. There are two places suitable for brewing potions, the abandoned classroom, or the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor of the castle.
There is no doubt that the latter is the best choice. No one will bother him to prepare the potion.
At the weekend, Albert had already gotten up early in the morning, and quietly came to the entrance of the Room of Requirement with the herbs and crucible he had just purchased.
I need a room with potions, I need a room with potions, I need a room with potions.
After wandering around the entrance, the entrance to the Room of Requirement opened. The layout inside was a bit like the potions classroom they often used.
There is a cabinet next to the wall that seems to contain potions.
Albert put his things on the table, walked quickly to the cabinet, opened it, and found that it was empty, with nothing in it.
However, there are many books about potions on the wooden bookshelves next to the wall.
Albert raised his hand and stroked the thick spine of the book, returned to the table, opened "Simple Potion", turned to the method of making developing potion, read it carefully several times, and then started to brew it.
The difficulty of the developing potion is not high, otherwise it would not be classified as a simple potion.
Although the developing potion is a simple potion, the preparation still requires a lot of time on Albert's part.
Just processing the materials took half an hour.
Albert carefully handled every step of the medicinal materials, and the result was not too bad. The developing potion was successful, but it was not as clear as the book said.
Albert scooped up a spoonful, put the developing solution into the test tube, shook it gently a few times, and observed whether there was any change in the solution.
“It’s not clear enough, but it’s barely passed.” Albert put a label on the test tube, put it away in the medicine box, and then began to observe his skill panel. There were some changes on it, including the addition of developing potion.
"I wonder if it's effective?" Albert muttered. He took out a photo from his pocket, dropped the developing liquid on the photo, then used a small brush to evenly apply the liquid on the photo, and then lifted it up. The magic wand casts a spell on the photo: Appearance.
"It didn't work?" Albert looked at the photo suspiciously and raised his eyebrows slightly, but soon he knew that he had succeeded. After the developing potion gradually dried up, the characters in the photo began to move.
Seeing the people in the photo laughing and playing, Albert knew that he had succeeded. He had never felt so happy.
After Albert succeeded, he continued to create two more magic photos, then nodded with satisfaction, and then glanced at his task panel.
The task "Moving Magic Photos" is shown as completed.
In the completed tasks column, there are other tasks that have not yet been received, such as the tasks he completed when he first entered school.
Unfortunately, skill points are too tricky. Otherwise, if he could upgrade the skill to level 4 or 5, his own magical power should become stronger.
Albert chose to receive the reward for the "moving magic photo" immediately, and then... then it was gone. There was actually no special feeling after completing the task.
If I have to say it, it’s excitement.
Albert opened the skill panel and started looking for the alchemy he had just learned.
By the way, I have quite a lot of skills that I have mastered now. They are so densely packed that I have wasted a lot of time trying to find alchemy.
Albert immediately used the experience pool to raise the alchemy skill to level 1. Then, sit back in your armchair and savor the knowledge that comes with adding a little more.
However, what puzzled Albert was that his understanding of alchemy was almost the same as what he learned from books.
But...Albert hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and upgraded his alchemy to level 2.
It takes 2000 experience to go from level 1 to level 2.
This experience is still a bit painful for Albert, who has tens of thousands of experience.
“I hope it’s worth the money.” Albert muttered quietly.
After Alchemy reached level 2, Albert realized a serious problem.
My own alchemical theory is insufficient!
It feels really bad, like knowing how to make alchemical items but not having the blueprints.
However, Albert still guessed the problem with making his own protective bracelet.
To some extent, creating a powerful alchemical item usually requires casting a spell on the item.
The Immortal Fire of Gubrai is the best example.
When you use a very advanced magic to create a magic item, its durability and protective effect will become stronger.
Alchemy props have similar problems. If you use them normally, the magic power will be consumed very quickly, and your wooden bracelet will lose its magic so quickly. In fact, it has something to do with this, which means that he is the one who reaches its limit. .
Items with protective magic are particularly obvious in this regard.
The best solution is to let it take a breath and regain the magic power on the item, just like the magic items used in the game have a cooldown time.
Most defensive magic items are of the consumable type. After the magical power on them gradually disappears, they will become an ordinary item.
Albert took out a small notebook, recorded his feelings, and took the time to improve the protective bracelet another day.
“However, now it’s the alchemy theory that I can’t keep up with.” Albert muttered. "It would be great if I could get on the line with Nico Mele. Nico Mele can definitely help Albert fill in this aspect."
As for the magic lamp.
Albert also had some inspiration, but he just jotted down the inspiration and did not think about it anymore. When configuring the developing potion, Albert was very tired due to his high concentration.
As for whether these ideas will be overturned in the future, Albert actually doesn't mind. His knowledge is still slowly increasing and improvements are slowly being made. Just like software, there will be version 1.0, version 1.1 or even The later version 10.1.
After putting away the remnants of making the developing potion, Albert came to the exit, took out the Marauder's Map from his pocket, pressed his wand against the parchment and read: "I solemnly swear that I have done nothing good."
After confirming that no one was at the entrance to the Room of Requirement, Albert erased the traces on the map, quickly left the Room of Requirement with the cauldron and the medicine box, and returned to the Gryffindor lounge.
