Chapter 194 Wizard Card Club
While several roommates were trying to finish off their lunches, Albert was writing a letter to Serra Harichs. The content of the letter was a greeting and an expression of willingness to exchange letters. At the end of the letter, Albert briefly introduced his idea for the magic lamp to Harry Heath.
In fact, Albert has tried to store the light ball in a box more than once, but the result of this is that the light ball that loses its magic power will automatically dissipate if it cannot last for too long.
The idea of a magic lamp was originally based on a deluminator. If you can have the technology to store the light source, you can naturally create a magic lamp.
Of course, if you want to make a magic lamp, there is a simpler and cruder way.
For example, eternal fire: the immortal fire of Gubrai.
Use the Kublai Fire as a light source, and then place a special glass cover on it to allow the Kublai Fire to provide stable, continuous and bright white light.
As for the switch issue, just get something like a cover and just block out the light when you don’t need it.
Albert happened to know a way to completely cut off the light.
In novels and movies, the Weasley brothers once created an opaque smoke bomb. Using its opaque properties, you can create an opaque lampshade.
However, most of the ideas are still just notes. It is not easy to turn the assumptions into reality.
After Sheila flew away with the letter, Albert returned to the auditorium.
Fred, George and Lee Jordan have finished lunch and are studying Albert's wizard card notes together, and helping to copy the names and effects of cards from it.
Opposite the three of them, Angelina and Aaliya were looking through the new cards and discussing whether to ask Albert to help them create the original cards.
After all, the original cards of Albert Four do look very good, more than one level better than the cards currently in use.
“However, wouldn’t it be bad to use photos directly on wizard cards?” Angelina also found many problems.
Although the wizard card is similar to the chocolate frog picture, it still feels a bit strange.
“We don’t have the money to find a skilled painter.” Albert sat down next to Aria and shook his head. “If we really want to replace photos with pictures, it will be a long time ago.”
Of course, Albert had already thought of a backup plan. If photos were not used later, he would use portraits instead of photos.
“Can you draw portraits?” George couldn’t help but ask. He knew that Albert knew many things, and it didn't seem strange that he said he could draw portraits.
"No." Albert simply denied it. "If there is really such a need, you can pay a Muggle painter to help complete it, and then use magic to reprocess the image."
Albert's words surprised several people. They had never thought of using Muggle power to accomplish something.
"We'll talk about these things later." Albert raised his hand to stop the few people who were hesitant to speak, indicating that they didn't need to pay attention, after all, it was a long time ago.
However, the thinking mode of wizards living in the magical world still left him speechless.
Several people took turns to help fill in the cards, which made the efficiency faster, and it didn’t take long for many new cards to be added. Albert also clearly divided the camps. Currently, there are only the four giants of Hogwarts, each with different effects. The blood volume of all players is fixed at twenty points.
Perhaps, subconsciously, everyone currently only uses the Gryffindor camp.
“Do you think it will scare everyone if the mysterious man appears on the wizard card in the future?” Albert said this in a joking tone. However, he soon noticed that the atmosphere around him suddenly froze.
“What’s wrong?” Albert looked around at everyone in confusion.
“Will there be a mysterious person’s card in the wizard card?” Angelina’s tone was slightly uneasy, and she obviously didn’t think this was a good idea.
"Of course it will appear. There will be a camp of dark wizards in the future. I think the mysterious man is quite suitable." Albert's voice faded, and he finally realized what was going on.
Wizards born in the magical world will have an instinctive awe and fear of mysterious people. It is not like they have plug-ins, they are not like they are from the Muggle world, and they are not like they know the weaknesses of mysterious people and know the rebirth of mysterious people. No nose at the back.
Other people living in the magical world are different from me. They grew up listening to scary stories about mysterious people, and they still have fear of mysterious people, even if they have never experienced that period personally.
“Wow.” Fred suddenly said: “Aren’t you afraid at all?”
“I come from the Muggle world.” Albert shrugged and explained, “This name is no different to me than an ordinary name.”
“You really plan to put the mysterious person into the card. What are you going to do if you don’t have a photo?” Li Qiaodan asked curiously.
"This is very simple. Just make the photo dark and then leave a pair of red eyes." Albert blinked and said with a smile, "The mysterious man, the famous Dark Lord, you just need to put him It would be nice to make it mysterious and scary, since not many people have actually seen the mysterious man."
"I said, can you please stop discussing this matter?" Aria couldn't help complaining. For most wizards in the magical world, the mysterious man is a taboo, so these few **** took this matter to task. It was just a joke.
"Well, it will happen a long time ago anyway." Albert rearranged his cards. Adding the original number of cards, the number of card types has exceeded 100.
Shanna walked over to this side and looked at the people playing with the cards on the table, wondering: "Is this kind of game really interesting?"
"Well, it's more fun for many people to play together." Albert replied: "It tests your understanding, matching and application of cards. You need to consider how to use strategies to defeat the enemy, rather than just stacking high like George did. Star card.”
“Hey, don’t use me as a counterexample.” George protested dissatisfied.
“I think you are the best counterexample.” Lee Jordan nodded in agreement.
George is now ready to go all the way to the dark side. He is trying to come up with a strategy that suits him. Especially after the cards are further improved, this idea is really possible.
Hearing Li Jordan's words, several people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Why does your card look like this, while the other cards still look rough?" Shanna pointed at Fred's card and asked in confusion.
"Well, this card was specially made by Albert a while ago. Isn't it cool that I'm on it?" Fred was able to say: "In the future, other cards will gradually become like this. However, It would be slower for Albert to make the cards by himself, but when we get to his level, we will help make the original cards together.”
“It feels a bit like a chocolate frog picture.” Zannah took out a chocolate frog picture of Dumbledore and compared it with the card.
"Indeed, we originally got inspiration from the chocolate frog drawings." Albert nodded and admitted, "When the time comes, we will also make all the chocolate frog drawings into cards. However, it is not possible yet. .”
Zannah sat next to her and watched Fred and Alia play cards. Fred was the better player and won in the end.
“Lost like this?”
"Well, everyone has twenty points of blood." Albert explained, "Generally, whichever side's blood reaches zero first loses. The usual tactic is to cause as much damage as possible by exchanging chips with each other. Of course, there are many ways to play the wizard card, and it mainly depends on how you play.”
“Why are they all Gryffindor cards?” Davis, who had been watching for a while, couldn’t help but ask.
“Well, because this card game was just invented not long ago, I only made Gryffindor cards for the time being.” Albert explained.
Katrina picked up a card, glanced at the content inside, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "You mean, this is a game you invented?"
“Well, I invented the game.” Albert explained, “If you are interested, you can let others teach you how to play.”
“Is this the wizard card you mentioned in your last letter?” Truman asked curiously. He remembered that Albert also gave him a card of his own. The effect was to attack: you can attack immediately after entering the field.
"Yes, if you are interested, you can try a game with them." Albert pointed at Fred and the others.
“What if I want the cards of my own house?” Truman continued to ask. If he was not a Gryffindor student, he would naturally want to use the cards of his own house.
"Well, other cards take time to design." Albert explained, "Of course, you don't need to worry about me being biased. For the sake of fairness and justice in the card game, I will not favor one party when making cards. Otherwise it loses its meaning.”
“Here I go, who wants to play a game with me?” Katrina stretched out her hand to Albert, “Lend me your deck of cards.”
“I’ll play with you.” Shanna raised her eyebrows and said, “Fred, lend me your deck.”
Two novices started pecking at each other.
Even though it was their first time playing the wizard card, after listening to a brief explanation, the two of them probably knew how to play it.
A few minutes later, Katrina lost because she messed with the spell cards in Albert's deck and lost a bit miserably.
“Is there something wrong with your deck?” Katrina glared at Albert dissatisfied.
"You don't know how to use my deck." Albert shrugged, "Wizard cards have many ways to play, and my deck is a bit difficult for you."
Katrina curled her lips, she actually knew what was going on. Fred's deck was all about Quidditch, and Albert's deck had a lot of spell cards.
“The deck seems to be very flexible.” Truman also saw the style of both sides’ decks.
"Of course." Albert said, "Everyone can have their own style."
"If you are interested in wizard cards, I welcome you to work with me to improve this game." Albert said to the onlookers.
Of course, not many people are really interested.
After all, the Wizard cards don’t look that good, and they look far less interesting than other games. However, some people will be interested in this novel game.
