Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 171: Wizard Card

While several people were talking, the engine pistons of the express train made a loud hissing sound and the train started.

However, there was once again an eerie silence in the carriage.

Albert’s way of thinking is indeed strange, but one has to admit that he is really right.

“Anyway, I’m definitely not going to work at the Ministry of Magic in the future.” Albert was the first to break the silence.

“Percy really wants to go to the Ministry,” muttered Fred.

“What about you?” Albert looked at Lee Jordan.

“I’m probably… not going to the Ministry either,” said Lee Jordan uncertainly.

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

“This is a good idea. If you don’t have money, you can come to me and I will 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 is that none of them thought that Albert was talking big.

“Don’t look at me like that, in fact, it’s quite easy to make money, as long as you know the trick to making money.” Albert said calmly.

“For example?” Fred was curious about what Albert called the easy way.

“The venom secreted by the eight-eyed giant spider 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 giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest, and other parts of this creature also have its value. If you hunt down one or two spiders and sell them on the black market, you can earn a large sum of money. .”

Speaking of the eight-eyed spider, both Fred and George shivered.

However, the two quickly remembered the scene of Albert defeating a large group of eight-eyed spiders a few months ago, and instantly felt that Albert’s words were really okay. Yes, the eight-eyed spider, that’s really just bags of shiny gold coins.

“When it’s snowing, the snow fungus we’ve eaten can also earn a lot of Galleons if we figure out what to do with it.”

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 of the wizards in the Ministry of Magic can’t even use an iron armor spell, and there will definitely be people who need this thing, as long as I put Once it’s perfected, it will become a popular Defense Against the Dark Arts item, and it’s probably not a big problem to sell it for ten Galleons.”

“Ten Galleons!”

Not only the twins, but even Lee Jordan was stunned by Albert’s statement, and the eyes of the three were about to turn into the shape of Galleons.

Actually, it is very easy to make a lot of money as long as you know how to turn them into a way to make 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 thinks Albert is talking big, because they are convinced that Albert really has the ability, this guy has a better brain than anyone else.

“One thing, you may not know yet.” Albert took off the ineffective protective bracelet and said, “If you use magic items, the Ministry of Magic will not be able to detect that you are using magic. At the beginning, I used The protective bracelet blocks Hetok’s Flying Charm, and keeps his golden clasp.”

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

“The gold card was picked up in the opera house. When I saw the gold card flying away, I knew someone was using magic to summon it,” said Albert.

“You buckled it because you thought someone might be using magic nearby?” Lee Jordan’s head twitched once in a rare moment.

“Yes.” Albert nodded. “If the other party is near me, the Ministry of Magic will most likely pin this on my head.”

“Why?” Fred asked rhetorically.

“Look at last year’s Truman.” George reminded, “Albert was the one who slapped Truman. Do you think Albert didn’t consider the possibility of being swindled?”

“Actually, as you have seen, that’s exactly how it is, so I kept the gold card and asked the owner of the gold card to explain it to the Ministry of Magic for me, and then I returned the gold card to him. .” Albert looked helpless.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t think so much.” Lee Jordan admired Albert’s mind: “You didn’t go to Ravenclaw, it’s a big loss for Ravenclaw.”

“I just want to say, one day you are going to make money, remember to bring me.” Fred said solemnly.

The four of them looked at each other and suddenly couldn’t help laughing. This feeling is really absurd. In the eyes of others, this is just a bunch of big kids talking nonsense.

The train was heading north, the sky was dark and it started to rain outside. For a moment, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the dense raindrops slapped on the glass windows, and the headlights turned on in the carriage.

In the corridor outside the carriage, a small cart was pushed along the aisle. Albert found that the person who pushed the cart had changed. He was no longer the lady boss of Honey Duke, but also a kind smile. witch.

Albert and Lee Jordan both bought some snacks to share.

“Actually, I think you can make a lot of money without the money-making methods you just mentioned.” Lee Jordan took a sip of pumpkin juice and jokingly said, “As long as you go to the Daily Prophet’s Galleon Awards. “

“That’s right, you can get a lot of Galleons if you hit the jackpot.” Fred immediately echoed.

“The probability is not high.”

“Why?”

“Is this possible? Just think about it with your head.” Albert looked at Lee Jordan speechlessly, “If people are really lucky, they buy lottery tickets every day and go out to pick up money. Just dig a gold mine, what do you need to work hard for?”

“We think you’re very lucky,” George muttered. “Maybe it’s a big prize.”

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

“What’s wrong?” George asked uneasily.

“It’s nothing, I’m thinking, if you give it a try, I think your family will have a chance to plant the Daily Prophet Award in the future?” Albert suddenly said, “Try it, it won’t hurt anyway?”

“Are you sure?” George was a little disbelieving, but thought of Albert’s mouth….

“Farewell, future, who knows when?” Fred muttered, “Albert must be fooling you.”

“Write it down, write it down,” Lee Jordan joked, “I’m just curious, can this really be said by Albert?”

“I’m just talking nonsense.” Albert shrugged his shoulders and looked out the window: “By the way, why does it always rain this season?”

“It seems to have rained last year too.” Fred picked up the picture of the chocolate frog and asked casually, “Who of you want a picture of Dumbledore?”

“No, I already have several.”

“Where’s Albert?” Fred asked again.

“I don’t collect this stuff, wait, show me the card.” Albert played with the picture of the chocolate frog with his fingers, thinking of a game, and said to himself: “Actually, we can Develop a card game for wizards.”

Albert thinks of Quintka, and other card games he’s played.

“What the **** 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 were connected to.

Albert briefly introduced the card game to the three.

“You think, the characters in the Chocolate Frog cartoons have many famous wizards, we can use them, and then add some more famous items, historical events, magic spell effects, turn them into the background of the card, give them a certain some functions.”

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

“Yes, record this matter, you can try to promote it.” Albert said, taking out a new notebook and writing down the thoughts just now.

“Sounds like a lot of fun,” George nodded. “I think it’s easier to remember people and events this way than by studying the history of magic. At least, I don’t have to worry about the odd Uric and the demon Erik all the time. Merrick got mixed up.”

“When the time comes, remember to bring me,” Lee Jordan said, patting his chest. “I feel like this game can be extended to every country~IndoMTL.com~I think you’re exaggerating.” Fred didn’t believe it. .

“Don’t you understand? Every country has its own famous wizards, histories, achievements, and some notorious wizards, record these people and history on cards and make them a game. Gobstone is more fun, and we can get a better understanding of our history through the cards instead of wasting a lot of time memorizing the **** history of magic.”

Lee Jordan said more and more excitedly, “At that time, I will definitely make a card of my own. Well, one of the founders of the wizard card, the effect is to allow players to draw three more cards.”

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

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

“Why only draw three instead of four?” Fred asked curiously.

“Because you are twins,” Albert said, “so you two can only count as one.”

In later generations, the wizard cards popular in the magic world were initially formed in this small carriage.

Many years later, when interviewed by the Daily Prophet, Lee Jordan said: “At the time, we were convinced that this card game would be enjoyed by wizards because we were not only playing games, but also learning history. We are still exercising our minds, and in this way, we hope to remind everyone of the wizards who have sacrificed and contributed to us, as well as the notorious dark wizards who have hurt everyone.

Wizard Cards is not only a game, but also a historical reflection of the wizarding world.
