I'm Really an Alchemist

Except for a small number of fans, most wizards are still very reserved.

They have goodwill towards Zhou Qi, and there are people who offered to lead musicians to witness the magical world. Fortunately, Professor McGonagall stopped these excited wizards, otherwise Zhou Qi would not know when he would be able to enter Diagon Alley.

"Now do you know what happened to you?"

Professor McGonagall was very helpless.

She refused the enthusiastic help of the wizards, went to the fence in the backyard of the bar, and took out her wand from the baggy sleeve.

"Count three pieces above the trash can, then count two pieces horizontally...Tap three times." She explained how to enter Diagon Alley: "But you need to use a wand to enter Diagon Alley, Mr. Ivan, if you need What to buy, it’s best to buy it all at once, I don’t want to come with you for the second time.”

The bricks tumbled like Jenga, creating a small hole that then grew larger, revealing a wide archway leading to a cobbled street.

"Magic is so cool." Zhou Qishi praised Shiwu.

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips, feeling a little complacent.

The two stepped into Diagon Alley, and the archway behind them gradually disappeared, and a rich atmosphere of life came to the pavement. Both sides of the road were filled with buildings with the atmosphere of the times, and countless wizards came and went.

"Hogwarts is about to start school, and this time happens to be the time for freshmen to buy school supplies."

Professor McGonagall is very popular in the wizarding world, people are constantly greeting her respectfully, and there are also many curious wizards who smile kindly at Zhou Qi.

"Let's go to Gringotts first. Hogwarts has paid you a month's salary in advance. You can also exchange Muggle currency for Galleons, but there is a large exchange limit, and you can only exchange [-] a year. Pound sterling, that is, two thousand galleons in gold."

Wizards don't have much demand for Muggle currency, and they have countless ways to extract large amounts of cash from the Muggle financial market.

The reason for not doing this is that the law does not allow it, and the second is that wizards do not understand finance.

A snow-white building stands proudly in the wizard's shop, showing its own uniqueness, with a shiny bronze door, and goblin security guards in scarlet gold inlaid uniforms.

Gringotts is the only bank in the wizarding world, controlled by money-greedy goblins, these magical species with light green skin, similar to distant relatives goblins, have extra sensitivity to money.

In this world, wizards are not the top of the wizarding world.

Whether it is a house elf or a Gringotts goblin, these ancient magical species have magical abilities higher than wizards.

Gringotts is also known as the safest place except Hogwarts.

"Welcome, Professor McGonagall!"

The goblin's eyes lit up, and she walked over eagerly: "Are you going to go through the procedures for withdrawing money, please come in quickly."

As it turned its eyes, it landed on the musician, with a slight disdain in his eyes: "This is... Muggle, oh, is that the Muggle Baron, Professor McGonagall, why Hogwarts recruits What about Muggles as professors?"

Fantastic Beasts doesn't have the aristocratic plot of humans.

"Mr. Ivan is a professor at Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall said calmly: "I have the right to report your service attitude to Gringotts, and Hogwarts reserves the right to pursue responsibility."

The goblin panicked.

It discarded its pride, showed a flattering smile to Zhou Qi, and knelt down on its own initiative, wiping the dust off Zhou Qi's shoes.

"Professor Ivan, please forgive my rudeness." The goblin said with a sharp voice, "I can't lose this job."

Zhou Qi had no idea.

Muggles are the bottom of the chain of contempt in the wizarding world, and this trend will not be changed for a while.

But the lesson still has to be given.

The proud goblin security could only squat at the gate of Gringotts with a bitter face, cleaning the leather shoes of every customer who came in, and repenting for his actions.

Gringotts goblin staff, although they also have disdain for Muggles, but their work is done impeccably.

Zhou Qi opened an account at Gringotts and handled his own savings bank. Hogwarts would remit his weekly salary to Gringotts, which could be deposited and withdrawn at any time. He also used up his exchange quota for this year and exchanged it for two thousand Galleons.

Prices in the Wizarding World are pretty low.

Two thousand Galleons is actually the income level of the upper class in the magic world.

Under Professor McGonagall's suggestion, Zhou Qi gave up the idea of ​​buying magical creature research, and also gave up buying relatively high-end magic books. Magic books like this will always have the evil taste of the original author.

No one knows if black magic or curses have been cast on the book.

Although Zhou Qi didn't care, Professor McGonagall stopped him from trying to kill him. She didn't want to see the Muggle professor invited by Hogwarts die for other reasons before entering the job.

Holding a lot of elementary magic books, Zhou Qi bought a backpack loaded with the traceless stretching spell, which made Professor McGonagall very envious.

The salary level at Hogwarts is not low, but it is not to the extent that money is not taken seriously.

"Do I need to buy a wand?"

Zhou Qi came to the entrance of Ollivander's Wand Shop. This shop has been making wands since [-] BC. It is a place where every wizard must set foot since childhood. The wand is a tool for wizards to control magic power. Everyone only has one magic wand in their lifetime.

It is not the wizard who chooses the wand, the wand chooses the wizard.

Professor McGonagall shook his head and said, "The wand will not choose a Muggle without magic power, and Mr. Ollivander will not sell the wand to an ordinary person, no matter how much Galleon you are willing to pay."

Ollivander is one of the twenty-eight pure-blood families. Compared with the Malfoy family, it lacks the arrogance of the pure-blood wizard family.

But again, he wouldn't sell the wand by force.

Zhou Qi wasn't too disappointed. The magic books he had obtained so far were enough for him to carry out preliminary experiments.

As long as the wizard's secret can be deciphered, the wand is completely redundant. Except for the HP world, which magician in the multiverse can't cast spells without a wand, and without a wand, he can't use magic. It's just weird.

Wizards on the African continent have only begun to use magic wands in recent times.

Before owning a magic wand, all of these ancient wizards were good at casting spells without a wand.

The creation of the wand may be evidence that magic is in decline.

Of course, this is also Zhou Qi's own guess, and he still needs more experiments to verify this.

Sending the musicians out of Diagon Alley, Professor McGonagall only felt that the day was exhausting physically and mentally. She said: "The Hogwarts school day is on September [-]st, but the school professor will return to Hogwarts one day earlier. I will pick you up on the [-]th of the month."

Platform nine and three-quarters, the steam train leading to Hogwarts, only goes back and forth six times a year.

Start of school, Christmas break, Easter break and end of school year.

No exceptions will be made for people!

......

Time flies by while exploring the mysteries of magic.

On August [-]th, Zhou Qi checked his luggage. A large number of research tools and magic books filled his non-marking stretch backpack. He also carried a small suitcase, which contained small gifts for Hogwarts students. .

In the past two months, he has read the magic books he bought dozens of times.

With the characteristic of photographic memory, the content of the magic book is deeply imprinted in his mind. Whether it is the pronunciation of spells, the severity of gestures, or the formula of potions, he can perfectly retell them. If he has magic power, he will be the best wizard.

But he didn't.

The teaching system of wizards is very unscientific.

They don't explore the mysteries behind magic, they believe in experience and muscle memory, books are full of all kinds of obscure, colloquial content, they don't teach you why you should do it, but tell you how to do it.

What is the principle of the levitation spell?

do not know.

It will only teach you that the levitation spell is Wingadim Leviosa, which includes the ups and downs of the gestures, the syllables of the syllables.

Some spell books will also tell how coincidental and incredible it is when wizards create these magical spells, as if spells are a tool that exists to mobilize magic, and wizards are not developers, but users.

This strange magic system once gave Zhou Qi a headache.

The history of magic is almost as long as the history of human beings, but for thousands of years, human beings will go to heaven, and wizards are still using the spells created a thousand years ago.

"This is not the kind of magic I want to learn."

Zhou Qi stuffed the last book into the Wuhen stretch backpack and complained in a low voice.

The magic books he bought only involved the most superficial magic, and he needed more reference samples to create general-purpose magic. The Hogwarts library is one of the largest collections in the magic world.

Zhou Qi couldn't wait.

Boo!

White light and shadow fell in front of him.

Serious Professor McGonagall was still dressed in the green robe, as if she didn't have a second change of clothes.

"Mr. Ivan." Professor McGonagall said, "Please put your hands on my shoulders and concentrate. Apparition is not a good experience."

Apparatus is a teleportation spell used by adult wizards for long-distance travel.

It is also the most uncomfortable teleportation that Zhou Qi has ever experienced.

Whether it is the quantum teleportation on the science side, the space-crossing on the martial arts side, or the escapism on the immortal side, they all guarantee comfort, but apparation seems to squeeze the body into a thick rubber tube.

"It's not really fun magic."

Zhou Qi took a deep breath of the slightly cold air, and in his heart he sentenced apparition to death. When he sorted out the magic system, this kind of teleportation magic would be thrown into the trash can of history.

How could there be such comfortless teleportation magic?

It's no wonder that the apparition spell can only be learned by students above the seventh grade, and they even have to go to the Ministry of Magic to test for the corresponding license.

A smile appeared on the corner of Professor McGonagall's mouth, watching the musician panting heavily, and when he recovered, the smile quickly faded away, as if it had never appeared before.

The two are standing in front of a medieval village.

Old taverns, old streets, old buildings.

There are also wizards dressed out of the era, living in it.

Hodmog Village, a wizarding village close to Hogwarts, the people living here are all wizards who are far from the Muggle society, and the station of the steam train is also located here.

Zhou Qi looked up.

An ancient and magnificent castle stands quietly in the white mist in the distance.

"Everyone who comes to Hogwarts for the first time must row a boat through the Black Lake. This is the tradition of the college." Professor McGonagall missed her once, and came to Hogwarts with excitement, took a boat, and went to Hogwarts. The castle in the distance.

"But your situation is special, and the principal has exempted this rule."

Professor McGonagall led Zhou Qi into the deep forest. A magical animal that looked like a horse, with a dark body and wings on its back, raised its head proudly, and was pulling an open-air carriage behind it.

"Can you see thestrals?"

Professor McGonagall wanted to explain, but Zhou Qirao looked at the Thestrals with interest.

Ordinary people cannot see thestrals, only those who have witnessed death can see it.

This kind of clumsy magic cover, even if Zhou Qi didn't have half of the magic accumulation, but his soul is the dimensionality reduction body of high-dimensional life, no illusion can work on him, as long as he wants, he can even see the traces of time.
