Chapter 171 Wizard Card
While several people were talking, the engine piston of the express train made a loud hissing sound, and the train started moving.
However, the carriage once again fell into an eerie silence.
Albert’s way of thinking is indeed strange, but people have to admit that his idea is really right.
"Anyway, I will definitely not work in the Ministry of Magic in the future." Albert was the first to break the silence.
“Percy would really like to join the Ministry of Magic,” Fred muttered.
“What about you?” Albert looked at Lee Jordan.
“I probably... won’t enter the Ministry of Magic.” Lee Jordan said uncertainly.
“We do have the idea of opening a joke shop.” Fred and George looked at each other and replied seriously.
"This is a good idea. If you don't have money, you can come to me and I will help you invest some start-up capital." Albert thought for a while and said to the two of them.
At this moment, both the twins and Lee Jordan were stunned and looked at Albert in disbelief. The strangest thing is that none of them think Albert is talking nonsense.
"Don't look at me like this. In fact, it's quite easy to make money, as long as you know the tricks of making money." Albert said calmly.
“For example?” Fred was curious about Albert’s so-called easy method.
“The venom secreted by the Acromantula is a very precious liquid, and the price on the market is as high as 100 galleons per pint.” Albert reminded.
“You mean...”
The three of them were shocked.
“There are a large number of Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest. This creature also has its value in other places. If you kill one or two Acromantulas and sell them on the black market, you can earn a large sum of galleons.”
Speaking of the Acromantula, both Fred and George shuddered.
However, the two of them quickly remembered the scene where Albert defeated a large group of Acromantulas a few months ago, and instantly felt that Albert's words were really okay. Yes, Acromantula, those are really just bags of shining gold coins.
“When it snows, the snow mushrooms we eat once, if we only know how to deal with them, we can also earn a lot of galleons.”
The three of them looked at each other and felt that what Albert said made sense.
"And this." Albert shook the protective bracelet on his hand, "It is said that most of the wizards in the Ministry of Magic can't even use the Iron Armor Curse. There will definitely be someone who needs this thing, as long as I perfect it. , it will become a popular black magic defense item, and selling it for ten Galleons each will probably not be a big problem."
“Ten galleons!”
Not only the twins, but also Li Jordan were stunned by Albert's statement, and the eyes of the three of them almost turned into the shape of galleons.
In fact, it is easy to make a lot of money as long as you know how to turn them into ways to make money.
After all, Hogwarts is backed by the Forbidden Forest.
Forbidden Forest is the most resource-rich virgin forest in the UK.
No one thinks that Albert is talking big, because they are convinced that Albert does have such ability, and this guy's brain works better than anyone else.
"One thing you may not know yet." Albert took off his failed protective bracelet and said, "If you use magic props, the Ministry of Magic cannot detect that you are using magic. At the beginning, I was using a protective bracelet Block Hutok's flying curse and keep his gold buckle."
The three of them opened their mouths in surprise, not knowing what to say.
"The gold card was picked up in the opera house. When I saw the gold card flying away, I knew someone was using magic to summon it." Albert said.
"You took it off because you thought the other party might be using magic nearby?" Lee Jordan's head turned rapidly.
"Yes." Albert nodded, "If the other party is near me, the Ministry of Magic will most likely pin this matter on me."
“Why?” Fred asked.
“Just look at Truman last year.” George reminded, “It was Albert who tricked Truman in the first place. Do you think Albert never considered the possibility of being tricked?”
"In fact, you have also seen that it is indeed like this, so I kept the gold card at that time and asked the owner of the gold card to explain it to the Ministry of Magic for me, and then I returned the gold card to him." Ai Bert looked helpless.
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't think so much." Lee Jordan admired Albert's mind: "You didn't go to Ravenclaw. It's really a big loss to Ravenclaw."
“I just want to say, one day you are going to make money, remember to take me with you.” Fred said seriously.
The four of them looked at each other and suddenly couldn't help laughing. This feeling was really ridiculous. To others, this is just a bunch of big-ass kids talking serious nonsense.
In the corridor outside the carriage, the trolley was pushed rattling along the passage. Albert found that the person pushing the trolley had changed. She was no longer the landlady of Honeydukes, but she was still the same witch with a kind smile.
Albert and Lee Jordan both bought some snacks to share with everyone.
“Actually, I think you can make a lot of money without the money-making method just mentioned.” Lee Jordan took a sip of pumpkin juice and said jokingly: “As long as you participate in the Daily Prophet’s Galleons Award.”
“That’s right, you can get a lot of Galleons if you win the jackpot.” Fred immediately agreed.
“The probability is not high.”
"Why?"
"Is this possible? Just think about it with your head and you will know." Albert looked at Lee Jordan speechlessly, "If people are really so lucky, they can buy lottery tickets every day, go out to pick up money, and just dig up money. It’s a gold mine, what’s the point of working hard?”
“We think you’re very lucky,” George muttered. “Maybe you’ll actually be able to grow something big.”
Albert looked George up and down, staring at him very uncomfortably.
“What’s wrong?” George asked uneasily.
“It’s nothing, I was thinking, why don’t you give it a try? I feel like your family may have a chance to grow the Daily Prophet Grand Prize in the future?” Albert suddenly said, “Try it, you won’t suffer any loss anyway?”
"Are you sure?" George didn't believe it, but thought of Albert's mouth...
“Goodbye, who knows when in the future?” Fred muttered, “Albert must be deceiving you.”
“Write it down, write it down quickly.” Lee Jordan said jokingly, “I’m very curious, can this really be said by Albert?”
"I'm just talking nonsense." Albert shrugged his shoulders and looked out the car window and said, "By the way, why does it keep raining this season?"
“It seemed like it was raining last year too.” Fred picked up the chocolate frog picture and asked casually, “Which of you wants a picture of Dumbledore?”
“No need, I already have several.”
“Where’s Albert?” Fred asked again.
"I don't collect this stuff. Wait, show me the card." Albert fiddled with the picture of the chocolate frog with his fingers, remembered a game, and said to himself: "Actually, we can develop a set of The Wizard’s Card Game.”
Albert thought of Gwent Card and other card games he had played.
“What the **** is that.”
The three of them were a little confused when they heard the words. They only understood a few words, cards, and games, but they couldn't understand what they were connected to.
Albert briefly introduced how to play the card game to the three of them.
“If you think about it, there are many famous wizards in the Chocolate Frog cartoon. We can use them, and then add some more famous items, historical events, and magic effects, turn them into the background of the card, and give them certain functions. "
Albert began to plan the wizard cards according to the card game and told others about his ideas.
“Yes, record this matter and try to promote it.” Albert said as he took out a new notebook and wrote down his thoughts.
"It sounds interesting." George nodded and said, "I think it is easier to remember those people and things using this method than learning the history of magic. At least, I don't have to worry about the weird Ulric and the devil Emeric. Mixed together."
“When the time comes, remember to take me with you,” Lee Jordan said, patting his chest, “I feel like this game can be promoted to every country.”
“I think what you said is too exaggerated.” Fred didn’t believe it.
"Don't you understand? Every country has its own famous wizards, history, achievements, and some notorious wizards. Record these people and history on cards and make them into a game. This is more than Gobstone It’s fun, and we can use the cards to better understand our history instead of wasting a lot of time memorizing the **** history of magic.”
Lee Jordan became more and more excited as he talked, "When the time comes, I will definitely make a card of my own. Well, I am one of the founders of Wizard Cards. The effect is to allow players to draw three more cards."
"You should have thought about your card first!" Albert couldn't help laughing, "Then what effect do you think my card should have? Is it the same as yours?"
Your card can be an effect card put together by the Big Four, the founders of our four wizard cards.
“Why only draw three cards instead of four?” Fred asked curiously.
"Because you are twins!" Albert said, "So you two can only count one."
In later generations, the wizard card, which was popular in the magic world, took shape in this small carriage.
Many years later, when Lee Jordan was interviewed by the Daily Prophet, he said: "At that time, we were convinced that this card game would be loved by the majority of wizards, because we were not only playing the game, but also learning history and exercising. own thinking, and we hope that in this way everyone will remember the wizards who have made sacrifices and contributions to us, as well as the notorious dark wizards who have harmed everyone.
Wizard Cards is not only a game, but also a reflection of the history of the magical world.
