Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 171 Wizard Cards

While a few people were talking, the engine piston of the express train hissed loudly, and the train started.

However, the carriage once again fell into a strange silence.

Albert's way of thinking is indeed strange, but one has to admit that his thinking is really correct.

"Anyway, I will definitely not work in the Ministry of Magic in the future." Albert was the first to break the silence.

"Percy would love to be in the Ministry," muttered Fred.

"What about you?" Albert looked at Lee Jordan.

"I probably...will not enter the Ministry of Magic either." Lee Jordan said uncertainly.

"We do have the idea of ​​opening a joke shop." Fred and George looked at each other and replied seriously.

"That's a good idea. If you don't have any money, you can come to me when the time comes. I'll help you invest some start-up capital." Albert thought for a while and said to the two.

At this moment, both the twins and Lee Jordan were stunned and looked at Albert in disbelief.The weirdest thing was that none of them felt that Albert was talking big.

"Don't look at me like that. In fact, making money is quite easy, as long as you know the tricks of making money." Albert said calmly.

"For example?" Fred was curious about Albert's so-called easy way.

"The venom secreted by the acromantia is a very precious liquid, and the market price is as high as 100 Galleons per pint." Albert reminded.

"You mean..."

All three were stunned.

"There are a large number of acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest. This creature also has its value in other places. If you kill one or two acromantulas and sell them on the black market, you can earn a lot of Galleon."

Speaking of the acromantula, both Fred and George shivered.

However, the two quickly remembered the scene where Albert defeated a large group of acromantulas a few months ago, and instantly felt that Albert's words were really all right.Yeah, acromantula, that's really just bags of glittering gold coins.

"When it snows, the snow mushrooms we ate, as long as we know how to deal with them, we can also earn a lot of Galleons."

The three looked at each other, and felt that what Albert said made sense.

"And this." Albert shook the protective bracelet on his hand, "It is said that most wizards in the Ministry of Magic can't even use the Iron Armor Charm, and there will definitely be people who need this thing, as long as I perfect it , it will become a popular defense against the dark arts item, and it may not be a big problem to sell it for ten Galleons at that time."

"Ten Galleons!"

Not only the twins, but even Li Qiaodan was stunned by Albert's words, and the eyes of the three of them almost turned into the shape of Garen.

In fact, as long as you know how to turn them into ways to make money, it is still very easy to make a lot of money.

After all, Hogwarts is backed by the Forbidden Forest.

The Forbidden Forest is the most resource-rich virgin forest in the UK.

No one felt that Albert was talking big, because they believed that Albert did have such abilities, and this guy's brain was better than anyone else's.

"One thing, you may not know yet." Albert took off the invalid protective bracelet and said, "If you use magic props, the Ministry of Magic will not be able to detect that you are using magic. Back then, I used the protective bracelet Block Hetok's Flying Curse, and keep his golden card."

The three opened their mouths in surprise, not knowing what to say.

"The golden card was picked up in the opera house. When I saw the golden card showing signs of flying away, I knew someone was using magic to summon it." Albert said.

"You took it down because you thought the other party might be using magic nearby?" Lee Jordan's head seldom turned very fast.

"Yes." Albert nodded, "If the other party is near me, the Ministry of Magic is very likely to pin this matter on me."

"Why?" Fred asked back.

"Just look at Truman last year." George reminded, "It was Albert who tricked Truman back then. Do you think Albert never considered the possibility of being tricked?"

"Actually, you have also seen that it is indeed like this, so I kept the gold card and asked the owner of the gold card to help me explain it to the Ministry of Magic, and then I will return the gold card to him." Ai Bert looked helpless.

"If it were me, I would definitely not think so much." Lee Jordan admired Albert's mind: "It is a great loss for Ravenclaw that you didn't go to Ravenclaw."

"I just want to say, someday you are going to make money, remember to bring me." Fred said solemnly.

The four looked at each other, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. This feeling is really ridiculous.In the eyes of others, this is a group of children with big farts talking nonsense in a serious manner.

The train was heading north, the sky was dark, and it was starting to rain outside.After a while, the rain became heavier and more violent, and the dense raindrops crackled on the glass windows, and the lights in the car were turned on.

In the corridor outside the carriage, the small trolley rattled along the aisle, and Albert found that the person pushing the trolley had changed. It was no longer Honeydukes' proprietress, but she was still a witch with a kind smile.

Both Albert and Lee Jordan bought some snacks to share.

"Actually, I think you can make a lot of money without the money-making method just mentioned." Lee Jordan took a sip of pumpkin juice and said jokingly, "As long as you participate in the Galleon Awards of the Daily Prophet."

"That's right, you can get a lot of Galleons if you win the grand prize." Fred immediately echoed.

"The probability is not high."

"why?"

"Is this kind of thing possible? Just think about it with your head." Albert looked at Lee Jordan speechlessly, "If people are really so lucky, they can buy lottery tickets every day, go out to pick up money, and just dig a The gold mine is all right, so what are you going to work hard for?"

"We think you're very lucky." George muttered, "Maybe you can actually plant a big prize."

Albert looked George up and down, staring at him uncomfortably.

"What's wrong?" George asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, I was thinking, why don't you give it a try, I feel that your family has a chance to grow the Daily Prophet Award in the future?" Albert said suddenly, "Try it, anyway, you won't suffer any losses?"

"Are you sure?" George couldn't believe it, but thinking of Albert's mouth...

"Farewell, in the future, who knows when?" Fred muttered, "Albert must be fooling you."

"Write it down, write it down quickly." Lee Jordan said jokingly, "I'm just curious, can this really be said by Albert?"

"I'm just talking nonsense." Albert shrugged his shoulders, looked out the car window and said, "By the way, why does it always rain this season?"

"It seemed to rain last year." Fred picked up the picture of the chocolate frog and asked casually, "Who wants a picture of Dumbledore?"

"No, I already have several."

"Where's Albert?" Fred asked again.

"I don't collect this thing, wait a minute, show me the card." Albert played with the picture of the chocolate frog with his fingers, remembered a game, and said to himself: "Actually, we can develop a set of cards." A wizard's card game."

Albert thought of Gwentka, and other card games he had played.

"What the hell is that?"

The three of them were a little confused when they heard the words. They only understood a few words, cards, and games, but they couldn't understand what they connected.

Albert briefly introduced the card game to the three of them.

"You think, the characters in the chocolate frog card have many famous wizards, we can use them, and then add some more famous items, historical events, spell effects, turn them into the background of the card, and give them certain functions. "

Albert began to plan wizard cards according to the card game, and told others about his ideas.

"Yes, record this matter and try to promote it." Albert said while taking out a new notebook and writing down the idea just now.

"Sounds very interesting." George nodded. "I think it's easier to remember those people and things in this way than learning the history of magic. At least, I don't have to worry about being old with the weirdo Ulric and the demon Emeric." mixed together."

"When the time comes, remember to bring me," Lee Jordan said, patting his chest, "I feel that this game can be extended to various countries."

"I think your words are too exaggerated." Fred didn't believe it.

"Don't you understand? Every country has its own famous wizards, history, achievements, and some notorious wizards. Record these people and history on cards and make them a game. This is more than Gobstone Interesting, and we can learn more about our history through flashcards instead of wasting a lot of time memorizing the damn history of magic."

The more Lee Jordan talked, the more excited he became, "At that time, I will definitely make a card of my own. Well, I will be one of the founders of the wizard card. The effect is that the player will draw three more cards."

"You should think about your own card first!" Albert couldn't help laughing, "Then what effect do you think my card should have? Same as yours?"

That card of yours can be the Big Four, the effect card put together by the founders of our four wizard cards.

"Why only draw three cards instead of four?" Fred asked curiously.

"Because you are twins!" Albert said, "so you two can only be counted as one."

In later generations, the wizard card popular in the magic world took shape in this small carriage.

Many years later, when Lee Jordan was interviewed by the Daily Prophet, he said: "At that time, we firmly believed that this card game would be liked by the majority of wizards, because we were not only playing games, but also learning history and exercising. In this way, we hope that you will remember those wizards who have sacrificed and contributed to us, as well as the notorious dark wizards who have harmed you.

The wizard card is not only a game, but also a historical reflection of the wizarding world.
