Pumpkin Carriage Teapot Bird
Chapter 155 Pumpkin Carriage Teapot Bird
The leaves of a grown mandrake are longer than an adult's palm, so it is impossible to hold it in your mouth. Therefore, you can only choose smaller tender leaves.
But if it is too small, it can be easily eaten.
“It’s best if it covers a third of the upper jaw but doesn’t touch the teeth.”
Professor Sprout shared the experience of his predecessors: "The curl of the leaf is also very important. The tighter it fits the palate, the easier it is to succeed."
Under the guidance of Professor Sprout, Wade selected the leaves. Then Professor Sprout picked and chose, and cut off five or six leaves of similar size.
She soaked the leaves in green herbal juice to dissolve the inherent magic of the mandrake, then cast a preservation spell and handed the leaves to Wade.
"You can practice with these leaves before the full moon."
"So many?" Wade asked in surprise.
Calculating the time, there were only six days left until the full moon, which meant that Professor Sprout had given him a leaf every day on average.
Professor Sprout smiled. "The beginning is always the hardest. If you don't use up all the leaves before the full moon, you'll be successful."
……
"Good afternoon, Vader."
The little witcher jumped open the office door and said in a low, hoarse voice: "You are late."
Vader stretched out his hand and made the sign of five.
The demon hunter actually understood what he meant, frowned and said, "Five minutes is also late."
Vader waved his wand, and a string of golden words appeared in the air.
【Something happened during lunch, which delayed us.】
At this time, Professor Murray came out.
Wade asked in text: [Has Jerry become more lively? ]
"Jerry" is the nickname given to the witcher by Professor Murray.
“That’s the wonderful thing about the alchemy of life.”
Professor Murray smiled and said, "Unlike the rigid chess pieces in wizard chess, he will gradually grow, absorb more knowledge, and even his personality may change."
Vader sighed: [It's as if real life has been created. ]
"That's why it's so fascinating." Professor Murray asked, "What's wrong with your voice?"
[I'm practicing Animagus.] Vader replied: [I have a mandrake leaf in my mouth, so it's not convenient to talk.]
On the first day alone, he scrapped two leaves.
One of them was when I accidentally knocked it with my teeth while answering a question in class. I immediately tasted a strong bitter taste in my mouth. The taste lingered for a long time and I had to brush my teeth several times to get rid of it.
Another piece was sacrificed during the meal.
Wade had used a sticking spell to stick the leaves to his palate, and then he felt choked and had difficulty breathing.
Instead, it sticks to the tongue, making speaking and swallowing more difficult and more prone to damage.
Vader now truly realized how difficult this was.
Holding a thin leaf in your mouth without breaking it is not as easy as holding a piece of candy.
Candies can be melted and chewed, but leaves need to be handled with the same care as a baby.
Wade had to give up talking temporarily, and for this reason he secretly cast the Ignore Charm during class to prevent the professors from suddenly calling on him to answer questions. "Animagus?" Professor Murray shook his head in disapproval, "This kind of magic is dangerous and useless. After transforming, you will be restricted by the animal body and cannot use other spells. What's the point of practicing it?"
"Being able to transform into an animal is already amazing! And mastering Animagus will be very helpful for learning Transfiguration." Vader replied.
Murray said indulgently: "It's up to you. You always want to learn all kinds of magic... Do you know the Uagadou School of Magic?"
Vader: [I've heard of it. It's a magic school in Africa and the largest of all magic schools.]
Professor Murray nodded. "I haven't learned Animagus myself, but I know a few African wizard friends."
"Vagardu is exceptionally good at wandless spellcasting and Animagus. Many of their students can transform into elephants and cheetahs by the age of fourteen. I can lend you a few notebooks for reference."
Thank you, professor.
"Don't thank me too soon." Professor Murray said with a deliberately stern face: "If you transform into a slug, just don't cry in front of me."
Vader couldn't help but laugh.
He knew that even if Professor Murray disagreed, he would support his decision.
If it was Professor McGonagall...Weider imagined...
"It's too dangerous, Mr. Grey!" Professor McGonagall would probably frown and say very sternly, "This is not the magic you should be exposed to at your age!"
or--
"Mr. Grey, what is your Animagus form? A wizard's Animagus form and characteristics must be registered with the Ministry of Magic, otherwise it is illegal!"
How should I put it? Professor McGonagall was a very good and upright professor. As a teacher, she was impeccable, but she could hardly tolerate any violation of the rules, which made Wade dare not reveal some secrets to Professor McGonagall.
"Well, enough of this small talk, let's get on with today's class." Professor Murray asked, "I think you should have finished the homework I gave you last time?"
Wade nodded, put his bag on the ground, and tapped it with his wand.
A huge wardrobe appeared.
Entering the inner space, an untowed pumpkin carriage came rumbling over, and the door opened automatically. It started moving only after two people got in.
The carriage moved along the white road. Mighty armored soldiers could be seen patrolling on both sides of the road, and two cats were rolling around in the grass.
Their movements appear flexible, but their appearance has a man-made, mechanical feel.
Several large brooms were sweeping the floor, and dustpans were bouncing beside them, spilling out the garbage that had just been put in. The brooms knocked on them and turned around to sweep again.
The carriage stopped at the edge of the woods, and under the banyan tree there was a white table and two high-backed chairs.
The round-bellied teapot bent down, and two cups jumped out from the plate one after another. The teapot poured black tea for the two of them. The hot steam "puffed" against the lid, as if singing happily.
Professor Murray picked up the cup, drank it all, and put the cup back on the table. The teapot was eager to pour tea, but was stopped by the professor.
Wade waved his hand, and a bird landed on his hand. The bird lowered its head and pecked at the edge of the cup, and clear water gushed out from the bottom of the cup until it filled the cup again.
Professor Murray smiled with satisfaction.
"Not bad. It only took you two weeks to complete this creation."
He was very satisfied, but was reserved and did not use more compliments to praise his students.
[It is difficult to combine alchemical creations with magic, and it is even more difficult to solidify the magic pattern circuit so that it can also use the spell of clear water like a spring. ]
Wade touched the bird's head and said, "Fortunately, it finally succeeded."
"Then, you can start trying to solidify the two magic pattern circuits." Professor Murray said, "Today we will talk about the compatibility and conflict between alchemical materials and magic spells..."
