"Well, today's class will be over here, don't forget to write homework." Professor Broad announced that after class, the students began to pack their things and leave the classroom.

"Professor Browder?" Albert deliberately stayed behind.

"What's the matter, Mr. Anderson?" Professor Broad asked, looking up at Albert.

"That's it, I have a question." Albert said immediately: "Behind the "Dark Force: Self-Defense Guide", I read about Grindillo and remembered the one you mentioned in the first class. A plant called the Dharma Tree."

Professor Browder looked at this gifted student with interest, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to know whether the guardian tree can protect people from Grindillo?"

"Yes." Albert headed.

"Theoretically...it should be possible." Professor Browd pointed his finger outside and told Albert that someone was waiting for him outside.

"Theoretically?" Albert turned around suspiciously and waved to the three of Fred, who signaled that he didn't have to wait for himself.

"Yes, theoretically, I'm glad you realized this." Professor Broad said happily: "The guardian tree is a magical sorbus tree that will protect those who touch its trunk from dark creatures. Of course, this is a documentary record. Since it can be recorded in "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms", it shows that the tree is indeed effective, but... this kind of thing is only theoretical."

Albert was silent and listened quietly to the other party to continue talking.

Professor Browd looked at the scenery outside the window and was immersed in his own memories: "When I was very young, a friend once gave me an amulet, claiming to be able to resist werewolves, dementors and yin as long as I was wearing it. corpse."

"Does it really work?" Albert asked curiously.

"Yes, it works." Professor Brod nodded and said: "Of course, the effect is not as exaggerated as he said, but the amulet can indeed make some dark creatures retreat. It does protect you from some when traveling. Unnecessary interference."

"Is the amulet made of Yamanashi trees?" Albert had already thought of what Professor Broad said.

"Yes, the effect of the amulet was gradually weakened due to the relationship of time." Professor Brod nodded.

Albert was silent. He was thinking of Professor Brod's words to a certain degree of authenticity. Is the amulet made by Yamanashi trees so effective?

"After the amulet expired, I asked him for another one, but it was rejected. He told me that as long as the amulet was soaked in smashed garlic, the vampire could stay away." Professor Brod looked at Albert, who was dumbfounded, shook his head and said, "I followed his proposal and put the amulet in smashed garlic for a day. Later, the amulet was full of garlic."

"Are vampires really afraid of garlic and crosses?" Albert couldn't help asking.

"Fear, it may be more appropriate to use hate. Vampires hate the smell of garlic." Professor Brod continued, "That is an excitement for vampires, like someone driving you behind with something you hate."

"What about the cross?" Albert asked again.

"At that time, Muggles used the branches of the protector tree to make a cross. It did have an effect, but the effect was minimal." Professor Brod shook his head, "Of course, the more important aspect of the cross is to give people courage in terms of faith. "

"So, vampires are not afraid of the cross?"

"Yes, they are not afraid." Professor Brod brought back the topic again, "Later, I saw amulet sellers on the market again, and also spent two gallons to buy one, which is also a tree of dharma. Made of wood."

"No effect?" Albert thought he might have guessed the possibility.

"No, I can't say that it didn't work, but..." Professor Broad grinned and said, "Basically no effect."

"Why?"

"Good question, why?" Professor Broad asked, "Why do you think it is?"

"I don't know." Albert shook his head, "Is the amulet made of wood from the tree?"

"Do you know alchemy?" Professor Browd suddenly changed the subject.

"I know." Albert said without hesitation: "An ancient chemical prototype?"

"Chemistry, sorry, kid, I didn't understand what you're talking about?" Professor Broad was also taken aback. He really didn't understand how Albert actually spit out the word chemistry. In the wizard's worldview, there is no chemistry. This stuff.

"I mean the Muggle worldview, you know, I come from a Muggle family, I gather on Muggle books. The so-called alchemy is the prototype of ancient chemistry." Albert explained casually.

"That's the case. But, the alchemy in the magical world is actually a kind of magic." Professor Brod continued: "This is a profound subject. Alchemy includes many things. Unfortunately, this subject It's not popular in the UK. Only in Africa and Egypt have separate courses open."

"You think the amulet is an alchemy item." Albert immediately connected the two things together.

"Yes." Professor Broad was very happy that Albert had understood this, and he continued: "Amulets made by alchemists can be regarded as amulets in the true sense and can best preserve the amulet. Tree effect. At least, Grindillo will not attack you when you wear the amulet across a swamp or lake."

"However, I need to remind you that don't buy amulets on the market. They are made by swindlers~www.mtlnovel.com~ Although the dharma tree is not very common, I think one is made from the wood of the dharma tree. The amulet is not worth two Gallons."

"Because it has not been processed by an alchemist?" Albert asked rhetorically.

"That's right." Professor Browd looked at Albert and said, "I guess you want to make amulets with the Dharma Tree? "

"Yes, I want to make a talisman for my sister, her birthday is coming soon." Albert did not hide, but avoided Professor Broad's gaze. He thought the old man might be seductive, although He didn't feel like he was seen through, but he should be more vigilant.

As he said, Albert took out a cross made a while ago from his pocket.

is really simple, it's the ordinary kind of wood intertwined into a cross, the product of his practice cutting spell.

"This is indeed an amulet made from the wood of the Dharma tree." Professor Brod took the cross, looked up and down, and joked: "However, it is very inferior. I dare to say that it cannot sell for 2 gallons."

Albert knew that Professor Browder had just made a simple joke, and didn't care at all.

"If you want to make an amulet, I suggest you read books related to alchemy." Professor Brod suddenly suggested, "If it is someone else, I might not recommend him to go to school. After all, it is at least three. The difficulty of the grade selection. However, this shouldn't trouble you."

"Any recommendation?" Albert asked.

"Simple Alchemy", this is an introductory book. I prefer to call it foolish alchemy. Professor Brod took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time and said, "Well, I have another lesson later. , If you still want to talk about Defense Against the Dark Arts, I suggest you come to the Defense Against the Dark Arts office on weekends to find me."
