Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 249 Gublai Immortal Fire has a request

There are now nearly twenty kinds of magical animals in Sainz's zoo, and there are even more if the ordinary creatures raised as food are included.

The daily feeding and drink for so many animals is a huge expense. If Sai wasn't wealthy, he really couldn't afford to support them.

Another thing is that there are a large number of magical creatures and ordinary creatures, and these guys produce a lot of waste every day. For this reason, he made a magic car and four magic shovels for Jinling as assistants.

We can’t let Jinling, a manager, be busy just cleaning up shit every day!

Saiens took out the magic purse that Sirius had given him as a thank you gift, "Jinling, take this leather bag. There is some money in it. All the expenses of the animals will come from it. Don't use the supplies of Hogwarts unless necessary."

"Yes, sir." Jin Ling took the purse excitedly, "Thank you for your trust, sir. Jin Ling will definitely cherish every Tongnat."

"Don't try to save money on purpose, Jinling. Don't worry that I won't be able to afford it. Report to me when you've spent all your money. Don't make other decisions on your own."

"Yes sir, Jin Ling will never make decisions on her own."

"Very good, thank you for your hard work, let's go out."

The initial investment in building a zoo is definitely greater than the output. Once everything is on track, some of the by-products they produce can sustain their own operations.

Not to mention other things, just now, the honey produced by the heart worms alone is basically enough to meet all the expenses of the existing animals in the zoo as long as he is willing to sell it.

And materials like the dried sting of the Billywig worm and the juice of the Mortra rat are very valuable.

When a Billywig stings a person, they will feel dizzy and then float. If someone is stung too hard, they may float in the air for several days. If someone is severely allergic, they may enter a permanent floating state.

In their native Australia, many wizards deliberately capture billywig bugs to sting themselves just to feel the lightness.

There are also the Mothra rats, which should not be underestimated. The juice from the anemone-like tumors on their backs is an excellent anti-edema agent.

If someone were to pickle and eat this anemone-shaped tumor, he would find that his resistance to curses and bad luck was enhanced.

Of course, excessive consumption will have side effects, which is that ugly purple hair will grow around the ears.

Of course, this side effect may be considered a benefit in the eyes of some people!

Therefore, the financial difficulties that Jinling was considering were impossible to occur, not to mention that Sai was originally a low-key wealthy man.

Oh, by the way, for old Deng who once received a salary increase, he is not low-key at all!

"Golden Bell~"

"gentlemen!"

"How many common animals are there now? We are only talking about the large ones."

"Yes sir, now there are five cows, ten sheep, ten pigs, and five deer."

“What’s the male-female ratio?”

"Four to one."

"Well, let's leave it like this for now. I was thinking too far ahead and bought it too early."

"Want to get rid of it, sir?"

"No, I've already bought it, so I'll just keep it for now. What about the others?"

"Sir, there are also rabbits, mice, chickens, ducks, some lizards, beetles, earthworms, etc., which are all newly bought."

"Okay, let nature take its course. There's no need to deliberately breed or specifically suppress them. When there are too many, you can just give them to the Hogwarts kitchen."

Back in the magic research area, Saiens took out the old book he had exchanged from Old Deng and read it carefully.

At first he thought that the Gublai fairy fire was also a kind of magic like lamp or fierce fire. Later, as he learned more and more, he felt that it might not be a simple spell.

These things were confirmed when he was chatting with Old Deng. At that time, what he asked Old Deng was "whether it has been made" instead of "whether it has been performed".

Now, after carefully studying this nameless old book, I figured out that the Guble Fairy Fire is not a spell, at least not just a spell, it is more like an alchemical item.

If you want to make a Gublai fairy fire, you can't just pick up a piece of rotten wood and cast a "Gublai fairy fire spell" to light the wood.

It has two parts, the spell part is there, sure, but there is another important component, the torch, which is the base that holds the fire spell.

The Gublai fairy fire cannot be carried by just a piece of wood wrapped in oilcloth. It requires a specially matched precision bearing base, and the base just happens to be made in the shape of a torch.

If someone could make the object it carries into a basin, could it be called the "Gublexian Fire Basin"?

Even though the shape of the carrier is difficult to change due to the problem of rune connection, it is always possible to make more. By then, a dozen or twenty of them can fill up a bathtub. What name can describe that object?

After reading all the content, Sainz said that he was qualified to make it with his current ability. This thing not only required advanced knowledge of alchemy, but also required deep magical support.

If you don't have enough alchemy skills, you can't make the torch base.

If the magic power is not strong enough, the spell of the Gublai Fairy Fire cannot be released and the flame cannot be ignited.

No wonder in the original track we only heard that Lao Dengtou had made one, because only Lao Dengtou could meet both requirements at the same time.

It goes without saying that Old Dumbledore's magical power is excellent, and his alchemy level is also obvious to all. He once made a lights-extinguisher, which, even with Sainz's current level of alchemy, still seems magical.

Old Dumbledore's level of alchemy is closely related to his friend Nick Flamel.

Why did Sainz never consult any professor about alchemy?

Because Great Britain is an alchemical desert!

He was afraid that he was being misled.

This can be seen from certain things in the original trajectory. The protective equipment made by the twins actually received a large number of orders from the Ministry of Magic, and all of these things were figured out by the twins themselves because of their interest.

Except for old Dumbledore, none of the professors at Hogwarts were proficient in alchemy, including Professor Babel, who taught ancient magic runes. She was only good at theory and had no physical works.

A former Hogwarts graduate - Umbridge - is helpless against the fireworks made by the twins!

Sainz also eavesdropped on alchemy, a course that was only allowed as an elective in grades 6 and 7, but the only conclusion he could draw was that it was better to learn on his own.

Some clues can be seen from the fact that the Ministry of Magic’s wizard level assessment even includes Muggle Studies classes but no alchemy.

Later, Sainz also deliberately collected some information about alchemy. He found that it was not just Great Britain, but the level of alchemy in the entire magical world was hard to describe.

Including France, the hometown of Nicolas Flamel, there are no other masters of alchemy except Nicolas Flamel.

Including Nicolas Flamel, apart from the Sorcerer's Stone, I have never heard of any other outstanding works of his, although that is indeed very remarkable.

Sainz speculates that one reason for this may be that alchemy, unlike spells, requires rational thinking rather than emotional strength.

However, what wizards lack most is rational thinking!
