Chapter 48: Unlocking Spell
"What about that person's method?" Albert nodded towards the crowd over there.
“What the hell,” Fred muttered. He originally expected Albert to make a reliable proposal.
“You will be taken into the office by Filch if you do that…” Albert glanced at Fred and did not finish his sentence.
"You mean the drawer..." George remembered the confiscated supplies and highly dangerous drawer that Filch had seen the last time he brought it to his office. He muttered, "But who attracts firepower?"
“What are you talking about?” Fred was a little confused and didn’t quite understand what these two guys were talking about.
“Drawers, drawers, confiscated supplies, highly dangerous.” George reminded.
"That's a good idea." Fred's eyes lit up. He was a little curious about what was there last time.
“You need to learn the lock-picking spell first.” Albert reminded.
“How about you go and we can help you attract Filch’s attention?” The twins both looked at Albert and suggested.
Albert glanced at the two of them and asked, "Do you still need to learn the unlocking spell?"
“Study, when will you start?”
“Go back to the dormitory, there are drawers there for you to practice.”
Not long after, Lee Jordan came back and brought news along the way.
William, the young man who was good at killing people, did not escape his confinement. The content was...cleaning the chamber pot.
"Well, it seems you don't even have to clean the chamber pot anymore." Albert shrugged, reached for his backpack and returned to Gryffindor's dormitory.
Looking at the Weasley twins who were flipping through the spell book as soon as they entered the dormitory, Li Jordan was a little confused. Are these the same twin brothers he knew?
“The Alaho hole is open.” George took out the wand first and tried it on the drawer he had locked, without success.
“Concentrate and pay attention to the gestures.” Albert sat on the chair, looking at the two people practicing the spell, and then moved his eyes to Lee Jordan beside him.
“What aroused the two of them?” Lee Jordan asked quietly.
"They needed to use this spell, so they started practicing." Albert said very vaguely, "Anyway, you have to learn the spell at the end, and you will need to practice sooner or later. Don't compete with them to see who can master the unlocking spell faster. ?”
“You are amazing.” Li Qiaodan also took out his magic wand and began to practice the unlocking spell, preparing to compete with the two of them to see who could master the spell faster.
Albert told them about the problems he encountered when practicing the lock-picking spell, and some things that should be paid attention to.
However, with the current level of the three of them, it should be impossible to successfully open the lock for the time being.
Albert picked up "Dark Power: Self-Defense Guide" and continued to read the parts he had not read.
“Give up?” Albert asked without raising his head.
After practicing for half an hour, the lock still has not moved, which is really frustrating.
“I practiced for a long time before I succeeded.” Albert reminded, “Spells, gestures and concentration, don’t hesitate when casting spells.”
"Forget it, I'd better preview the afternoon class first." Li Qiaodan was a little tired. In fact, the twins also wanted to give up, but thinking about their plans, they endured it and continued to practice hard. Albert said That's right, you have to learn it in the future anyway. If you don't practice it now, you will practice it later.
“Have you finished reading this book?”
"Not yet, I've read some books, and they all introduce dark creatures and how to defend against them." Albert continued while flipping through the book, "In fact, for a new Muggle like me, it's just a way to get to know the magical world. How many dangerous creatures are there, and how to be wary of them and protect yourself.
In human terms, it means how to escape, take precautions, or seek help when encountering a robber, rather than teaching you how to knock down the robber.
So, the things taught in this book are actually very general, but they have to be admitted to be very useful, so Albert said that this is an introductory book.
If you study this thing throughout the semester, it’s no wonder that the twins’ protective props are so popular. After studying this book, you probably won’t even be able to use the Iron Armor spell. At least, Albert has not introduced the Iron Armor spell so far. The word curse.
After practicing all afternoon, the twins still failed to learn the lock-picking spell.
It’s normal.
Albert was not surprised.
“Tell me, when can we master this spell?” Fred looked a little relieved.
"Practice for a day or two!" Albert said without hesitation, "Any spell requires magical power as a basis, and you who know few spells are not as good as me in this regard, so... it will be a bit difficult to learn." When I first came into contact with magic, I encountered a similar situation. Later, as I mastered more magic, I learned magic faster. ""
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Albert's words seemed reasonable, but for some reason they always felt that the other party was deceiving them again.
Perhaps, unlocking the lock spell is still a bit difficult for you, after all, you haven’t even mastered the luminous spell yet.
Albert muttered, and inadvertently stabbed the three of them in the heart.
“Oh, I didn’t expect magic to be so difficult to learn.” George sighed softly and lay back on the soft bed.
"Don't even think about it. There are only a few magic spells recorded in the book "Standard Spells: Elementary". We still need to study this book for one year, so you know how difficult it is to learn a spell." Albert couldn't help but write it off. Fuck it, that's actually the case.
"According to what you said, you have probably learned all the spells in "Standard Spells: Elementary"?" Fred suddenly opened his mouth, realizing the direct gap between the two sides.
"Absolutely!" Albert thought for a while and said, "However, what we have learned is only the most superficial use of magic."
"What is the most superficial use of magic?" The three of them were a little confused.
"It's just about playing tricks on the spell." Albert thought for a while, lit the wand, waved it in front of them and explained, "This is the most common use of our luminous spell, but have you ever thought about how to make it shine?" Can the light of the curse become brighter, or let it escape from the wand and float in the air according to one's own wishes, or float far away?"
“Is this really possible?”
"I think Professor Flitwick can definitely do it." Albert extinguished the light on the wand and sighed softly. If he wanted to make a magic lamp, he would at least need to upgrade the luminous spell to level 3 or 4 first.
Upgrading a skill from level 2 to level 3 requires 10,000 experience points, and upgrading to level 4 requires 5 times the experience of level 3. Albert doesn’t want to think about it at all. The pitiful experience in his experience pool is not enough to upgrade a skill to level 3. level 4.
