Chapter 121 What Can Gordigan Be Used For?

"You wizards seem to have made too many adjustments to human beings in your magic." In the reception room, Lori Ann set up a small blackboard, picked up a small wooden stick, and tapped on the board where no words were written. Putting on a pair of small glasses, she continued, "This shows that your living environment is safer. Apart from being wizards and criminals of the same clan, you will not be attacked by too much magic power."

"Really." Nelson, the only listener, sat on a small folding stool that had just been taken out of his pocket, and nodded like a serious student, "Although there are some magical animals in the world, their abilities are not Not strong."

"As far as I know, that's true," Lori Ann nodded approvingly, "Newt gave me a copy of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" written by himself, which introduced most of the magical animals in the world. It seems that although there are many powerful individuals among them, they have not formed a community. This kind of group is difficult to threaten the status of human beings-I mean those human beings who do not have magical abilities, let alone those who have mastered all kinds of magical powers. The wizard of magic."

"Lorian, where you lived before, was there any magical animal that could threaten humans?" Nelson asked curiously. He was always curious about the identity of Lorian's extraterrestrial visitor, and asked hopefully, "Can you still go back?" ?"

"I don't know if I can go back, but I've been doing research in this area," Lori Ann shook her head shovingly, then cheered up again in the next second, clenched her fist and waved it lightly, and said, "Research and development Magic is a slow and meticulous job, let’s not talk about it, let’s continue with the previous topic! There are no so-called magical animals where I live.”

"No?" Nelson raised his eyebrows suspiciously, recalling the huge flaming pumpkin head that Lorian made before, Nelson shook his head, "Your Jack Bomb doesn't look like it's used to hit people."

"Of course not," Lori Ann said, still smiling, "There is a misunderstanding in your understanding, Nelson, you wizards call those magical creatures 'magic animals', which is precisely because you don't recognize their threat. To wizards, so-called magical animals are mostly animals, and where I live, any creature can be a threat to humans, including the weakest goblins."

"Goblin?" Nelson asked.

"It's similar to the goblin in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." Luo Lian explained, "But it seems that the Goblins here are very weak in combat effectiveness and not united, otherwise they wouldn't keep opening banks and so on. "(Note: see the author said)

"The goblins have also resisted wizards, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. Even today, they make no secret of their desire for magic wands and their malice towards wizards." Nelson said, "They are very united and clever creatures, and they also Mastering unique magic, it once caused a lot of trouble for wizards."

"Is that so?" Lori Ann opened her mouth into a circle, she did not hide her surprise, and explained, "But none of them mentioned this to me."

"Uh... Maybe it's because it's about the history of magic, and almost no one takes the history of magic seriously," Nelson said. "As for Senior Newt, he doesn't know, maybe it's because he dropped out of school very early."

"Well, that's not important." Lori Ann said, "What's important is that the wizards' magic is more applied to the same kind, and they pay more attention to the structure of the human body in terms of damage, control and defense, even though these magics still have thousands of years of magic. The shadow of the fight against the huge creature before."

"So do I need to change it?" Nelson asked, "enhance the power and range of the spell?"

"No, no, why do you think so?" Luo Lian didn't realize that a lot of words she said could easily make people have similar associations, and asked, "Do you think there are any huge non-humanoid creatures that need to be confronted? Like a dragon or something?"

"No, what should I do then?"

"On the contrary, you should strengthen the content of this aspect," Lori Ann said, striking the empty blackboard with the small wooden stick in her hand, "so that your magic can target your enemy more precisely, instead of trapping him in a cage, As far as I know, wizards should have many ways to escape from the cage, such as your apparition or something."

"Maybe I can cast the counter-curse of Apparition in the field?" Nelson had a whim.

"How stupid are you?" Lori Ann poked the blackboard too hard, causing the small wooden stick to bend a little, and a string of sparks burst out from the tip. She quickly extinguished it and explained, "This is the wand used by your wizards. White gave it to me."

"Okay," Nelson nodded, "maybe I can change the ground so people can't stand."

"Have you realized that you are a showman, Nelson?" Lori Ann held her forehead helplessly and said, "Your imagination is too limited, as if restricted by something, you seem to be very afraid of hurting your enemies? I pay attention Seeing that your magic is almost all aimed at controlling, it is difficult to cause damage, and controlling a person with resistance is much more difficult than knocking him down, not to mention that you always like to create some big scenes and big effects, everything is very Beautiful, everything is big."

"Big is better." Nelson was still quibbling, saying something strange like "more is better".

"Bigness is really good, but you have to distinguish the occasion." Lori Ann said, "If you are facing a group of enemies, your thick fog is really effective, but when facing a single enemy, although the effect is also good, but such a large area is not enough. It's not necessary."

Nelson nodded, no longer quibbling, he was more like a special effects artist than a wizard.

"I think your last crossbow is very good," Lori Ann recalled. "Those sharp metals look very lethal. Although they are a bit primitive, why don't you throw the crossbow directly with magic?"

Nelson muttered something.

"Are you afraid of hurting me?" Luo Lian smiled and said, "If you always think this way, you will find that you can't beat anyone in the end. Don't worry about this situation in the future. Your magic medicine is more advanced than attack magic in my opinion. Too much. By the way, is your best magic transformation? That toad spell?"

"Okay," Nelson touched his ribs, and he could faintly see the faint golden light shining through the thin shirt from his ribs, and said, "Yes, I am the most proficient at transfiguration among all the spells. As for the toad ...that's a side effect of learning a new magic recently, and it's not called toad magic."

"If I were you, I would only use crossbow arrows to attack while using smoke to control the field, and arrange a few to go around the enemy's rear to attack the weak defense direction-of course, you can actually consider some more effective than these cold weapons that need to be aimed. Simple and effective methods, such as meteorites falling from the sky." Lori Ann said, "It would be even better if they can be used freely, then you can continuously release your toad technique, and let the weapons you conjure freely attack the enemy and truly become a walking armory."

"I can't do it." Nelson shook his head. "I still can't transform into something with thinking ability. At most, I can transform into a small cart that delivers goods according to the established route."

"That's why you listen to my lecture." Luo Lian grinned and touched the blackboard. On the black background, complicated runes and annotations appeared. With a wave of her hand, the curtains closed and the door was locked. , without the brightness of the light source appearing in the room, she patted her chest and said, "Open your notebook, coincidentally, I think that notebook you got last year is just what you need most now—whether it is Matching your transformation magic or your venue idea, even matching your coat with a lot of pockets can produce miraculous effects, please allow me to introduce to you my favorite magic - the great alchemy!"

Nelson thought of those little people running around in the castle, who didn't look very smart, shook his head to expel those magical images from his mind, picked up his notebook, and listened carefully to Lori Ann's pointing on the blackboard.

"They do look like a good fit for me..."

"Tom, you don't need to be like this," Professor Slughorn lay on the sofa in the office, helplessly watching his youngest proud disciple cry and fight against a pile of green onion-like plants, He stood up and took out two cans of butter beer from the wine cabinet, put a can beside Tom, and said, "Have some drinks and see if you are smoked. In fact, it's okay if you don't come next week. You have been here this year." Has done years of work for the previous naughty students."

"After all, I made a mistake, sir, and the confinement will last until next year." Tom wiped his tears, and the cuffs stained with juice made him cry even harder. The tears poured down like a waterfall, and he blinked watery With big eyes, he couldn't help asking, "Professor, what's the use of this Goldigan?"

"I don't know either." Slughorn shook his head. It's quite rare for a potions master like him not to know the uses of herbs, but he said frankly, "Actually, no one knows the purpose of Go The real use of Deegan, it seems that it can only be used to smoke people... But I don't think so, I think any herbal medicine should have its effect, but people haven't discovered it for a while, so I bought some for research. That's why I said that you don't actually need to use it to do the work of next week in advance, because I really don't have any herbs to deal with, so I can only ask you to peel them."

"My honor, Professor." Tom bowed his head politely, and the tears in his eyes did not affect his polite gesture, which also made Slughorn appreciate him even more. Tom complimented softly, "I don't feel that Then you can see the results of your research in Master of Practical Potions."

"Hahaha, Tom, you boy." Slughorn's beer belly, which had just taken shape as a walrus, shook. He picked up Tom's can of butter beer, uncapped the bottle, and handed it to Tom, saying with a smile , "Even if I want to publish an article on "Master of Practical Potions", I have to go through some review."

"Thank you, Professor." Tom took a sip of the butter beer, and the tears stopped. He looked at Slughorn with a serious expression, and said seriously, "I'm not saying that it's difficult for you to post an article. I just think that your research results should be easily favored by the reviewers, I have read every article of yours, and I can't see any human elements in them."

"Hahahaha, you kid."

Slughorn's walrus-like laughter echoed throughout the office.

"By the way, what are you going to do next week?" Slughorn laughed enough, straightened up and walked back to the sofa, opened his own butter beer and lay down and asked, "I see that you have been looking for teachers to ask for leave these days."

"I want to go to France, there are some things." Tom lowered his head and continued to skin Gordigan, and secretly made up his mind: "If anyone messes with me in the future, I will definitely plant this stuff next to his grave."

"It's not peaceful over there. The followers of the Dark Lord Grindelwald have become more active recently." Slughorn straightened up from the sofa and said seriously, "Is it important? Do you have to go?"

"I'm in a hurry, professor, and it's also very important." Tom nodded, piled the skinned Gordigan into a small basket, and replied, "I have acquaintances in Europe, and I have also been to Paris, so I am familiar with it. You don't have to worry."

"Okay," Slughorn lay back on the sofa, made a rustling sound, and straightened up after a while and said, "You must enter and exit through the official channels of the Ministry of Magic."

"I understand, Professor, that's how I came back from Paris."

"That's good..." Slughorn didn't know what he was doing, and suddenly said after a while, "Go on!"

Tom looked up, saw a small cloth bag flying towards him, and reached out to catch it.

"When you go out, you must be careful. If you see wizards on the street, you will avoid conflicts. If you see wizards with Grindelwald's mark, you should pretend you didn't see anything and leave quickly..." Slughorn acted like an old man Chattering and concerned, "There is a small bottle of Felicity Elixir and a bezoar in the bag. I am a wizard who deals with potions, and I can't help you too much in other aspects."

"Thank you, Professor." Tom's gratitude came from his heart. He nodded vigorously and said, "These are too good. I will be careful."

"Well," Slughorn said with satisfaction when he saw Tom put the basket containing the cleaned Gordigan in the office for communication, "Go back and rest early."

"Okay, Professor."

"Get to bed early, Tom," Slughorn repeated, as Tom opened the office door. "Be careful when you're out and about."

The goblin in the original book is said to be "goblin" (I always pay attention to this when I read the original English work), but in the Chinese translation it seems to be translated as "goblin" in order to reduce the dyslexia of young people, and it is written as "goblin" here.
