Chapter 10 Alchemy
This portrait is not a magic painting, but an ordinary portrait used by Muggles. It is normal to hang it in a normal noble family, but it is very unnatural to hang it in the Rozier family. Obviously, there are still some secrets in this manor waiting for Doug to explore. At least, the elf doesn't know, and Mrs. Mary doesn't know, and as for Dumbledore, it shouldn't be clear.
Doug, who knew it well, did not immediately study the so-called portrait, but looked at the library. He doesn't have much time, and he needs to find something about the Rozier family in these library. At his current level, if he goes out to fight, he may be able to win the wild wizards hiding in the corner, and he can also win the waste Auror of the Ministry of Magic. But he lacks one thing, that is, the foundation of a family.
If he is not named Rozier, he only needs to spend seven years slowly. At most, the risk is slightly higher in the last two years. But now, he must get the heritage of the Rozier family. Otherwise, he wil not have the slightest power to protect himself. And there are still about five years left. Voldemort should have really done things five years later.
That is, when I was in the fourth grade, I felt sorry for a 15-year-old child who had to face all kinds of things in the magic world. I feel a headache when I think about it.
After rubbing his temples, he began to slowly look around the library. The library is not very large, but the collection is very rich. It can be said that it is almost all-encompassing. Almost all the books of the magic branch series, such as magic spell principle, magic spell principle, deformation principle, etc., are placed on these bookshelves. What really surprised Doug was the "alchemy series" of the bookshelf.
The alchemy series can be said to be a colorful stroke in the magic world. It is like a magic stone that can make people immortal, that is, the achievement of alchemy. In Hogwarts, it is even more difficult to learn this course. Alchemy is an elective course that can only be learned after the sixth grade. It is said that the professors of this course may not teach one for several years. Students who want to choose the cultivation gold series of courses have relatively reached a certain standard of academic performance. As for what this standard is, Doug is not very clear.
Opening the books on the bookshelf, Doug's expression became very empty, and his wand gently pointed at his temple: "Memory Palace!"
The function of the memory palace is very simple. It is divided into two types. The first function is to scan and copy the knowledge you want to know into the palace. This reproduction is meaningless, it's just a reproduction. The real function is in the second, and the second function is immersive learning. Enter the memory palace, shield the interference of the outside world, improve concentration, etc.
It can be understood as learning directly in one's own memory. In this palace, the flow rate of time is also different. At present, the maximum flow rate that Doug can achieve is one to three, but the process can only last for two hours. That is to say, if you study for six hours in the memory palace, you need to rest, which is at least three hours. Recycle back and forth, the limit of one day is three times, more than three times, time is not allowed, and mental strength is not allowed.
After tossing around like this, Doug has 18 hours of time to concentrate on his study. Eighteen hours is a small thing, and the most important thing is the word "concentration". That's why Dumbledore gave Doug the title of "pervert". Now Doug's mastery of the basic magic spell is at the level of perfection.
But he knows nothing about alchemy. There are actually two types of non-combat sequences in the wizarding world, one is magic potion and the other is alchemy. However, there are countless subcategories in these two categories, such as herbal medicine, such as the twelve uses of dragon blood. And the branches of alchemy are even more ridiculous, such as magic paintings, such as magic snacks, and commonly known black magic items. This series belongs to the alchemy category.
And Doug has asked Dumbledore, and Dumbledore said that he could not teach Doug about alchemy. The basic focus of alchemy in each family is different. Even among the twenty-eight holy clans, there are only five families that can be regarded as those who have really learned alchemy. The Dumbledore family can only be regarded as Albus Dumbledore alone who has made achievements in alchemy. And Rozier was one of the five families, so Dumbledore told Doug to go home and study by himself.
If Doug wants to learn potion, he can introduce Snape to him.
Thinking of Snape's thousand-year-old stinky face, Doug refused without thinking about it. To be honest, Snape doesn't talk about the licking dog attribute or his bad personality. His potion can be said to be the peak of the current magic world. Doug also thought about this before he wanted to learn alchemy. He has no system, and it is too difficult for him to learn two secondary occupations at the same time. Maybe I will learn it if there are adventures in the future. The most important thing now is to learn the complicated alchemy. At least, he still has a year to go.
Entering the door, it's not a big problem.
Not long after that, Syl came back. Seeing Doug studying seriously, he did not bother, but waited quietly. After Doug exited the "Memory Palace", he was shocked to see Syl next to him. He probably understood the cause of the matter, and frowned slightly and loosened. Yes, it's already out. We should consider adding a warning device outside the Memory Palace.
"How many Jin Jialong is left in the family?" Doug asked.
"Master, there are still 3,260 gold and some semi-finished products of alchemy left in the family." Sylf bowed slightly and replied.
Hearing this answer, Doug couldn't help sighing, more than 3,000 golden Garongs, how many? If he is just an ordinary Muggle wizard, that is, the mud seed in Decora's mouth, this silver is enough for him to live well. But as the heir of the Rozier family, it is not enough. You know, as the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore's annual salary is about three thousand gold.
In a family, there is only one principal's annual salary. This is simply a big score. Moreover, according to Dumbledore, the Rozier family is also one of the school directors of Hogwarts. That is to say, he is now one of the wronged ones. You know, Hogwarts is known to be losing money every year.
