Chapter 427 Opening the Can

Robert looked at the object inlaid with gems and gold and silver threads in front of him with a strange expression.

In terms of shape, it may be a pitcher, with a big belly in the middle, a wooden bottle cap at the top, and thin upper and lower necks.

Although art is for appreciation, this shape really cannot be thought of casually.

The more I think about it, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a kind of utensil. How should I put it? It's the thing that the elderly keep in front of their beds... and use it when they have a sore throat...

Robert felt that he couldn't watch it anymore, his throat would feel really itchy if he looked at it again!

"This thing is quite big." Robert looked away awkwardly and looked at other things in the dormitory. Oh, why do everyone keep their cabinets tightly closed? Do they all have little secrets?

Stebbins scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Actually, it's okay. I just thought it was pretty, so I took it off."

But I think you kid has definitely come up with something weird. Robert cursed in his heart and had no interest in opening this thing.

He can't really expect this thing to be a real success!

It will kill people!

As he spoke, Stebbins rubbed his hands and seemed ready to start.

Um, I wonder if it would be a little nauseating if it was started. Robert continued to complain in his mind, why would this guy come up with something with such a weird shape.

Some magic circles were simply arranged, and Robert came over curiously. Although the shape of this thing was very disgusting, ancient wizards did not necessarily use it as that thing. At least it was decorated with rubies and sapphires, and Inlaid with filigree.

Stebbins put on dragon leather gloves. This time he took out high-end goods, only a thin layer, but the effect was dozens of times better than those commonly seen on the market. They were special gloves for curse breakers and needed to be specially customized. .

He gently picked up the jar with his hand and rubbed his fingers on the surface. The patterns and decorations would probably introduce what the jar was used for. Stebbings firmly believed that such a beautiful thing must be very important. The role!

The familiar ancient characters were rolling around in his mind, but unfortunately none of them were right. In the end, he had to compare them with graphics to barely understand that this was something from BC.

That's really an antique.

Stebbins let out a sigh.

Even though the profession of Curse Breaker has the word "curse breaker" in it, you may think that it is just a profession for unlocking the curses on alchemical items. This profession is actually somewhat similar to that of an archaeologist, except that the object of their archeology is The tombs of those ancient wizards.

Muggles all know how to build a large tomb to confuse grave robbers after they die, and wizards naturally do the same.

But the wizard's tomb is not so easy to steal... Hey, why do I say robbery?

Of course it's because... in the Muggle world, archeology is a very comprehensive study, and it plays a very important role in people's study of the production and life of ancient people. It would not be wrong to say that without archeology, there would be no Muggle history. Pass.

Wizards are different. They have countless ways to record history. After all, the Ministry of Magic has always existed, unlike Muggles, who have gone through multiple dynasties and changed countless leaders.

Ancient wizards tried every means to prevent their graves from being found and excavated. Not only were there engraved magic circles on the outside, but every instrument had troublesome spells on them.

This has led to the fact that wizards now want to know what is in the tombs of ancient wizards. They have to dig all the way in. The scene is very chaotic, and it is basically the same as digging a grave.

As for whether those ancient objects will be destroyed...

Well, since the repair spell was introduced, this problem is completely out of the wizards' consideration. If it breaks, there is a repair spell!

But speaking of it, Egypt seems to have the "Jade Record" left by the god Hermes. It is an emerald slab with 13 sentences engraved on it, which goes straight to the core of alchemy.

According to Muggle records, after Alexander the Great conquered Egypt, he found the "Jade Record" from the tomb of "Pharaoh Hermes". Later, the Library of Alexandria was destroyed and the "Jade Record" also disappeared.

But in fact, after the emperor dug up the alchemy code, it was stolen by wizards... Well, wizards can't be called stealing. It was always an Egyptian wizard who took it and made a fake one. , and placed it in the library. Later, the fire directly burned the fake "Jade Record" and disappeared from the sight of Muggles. The wizards also got the handwriting with peace of mind.

That thing is now in the underground vault of Gringotts in Egypt, and every year many wizards go to pay their respects.

Wow, when I think about it, I suddenly want to go to Egypt!

"I found a way to open it!" Stebbins exclaimed, bringing Robert back to reality. He carefully pulled out his wand and conjured a hand made of stone. That hand picked up the jug. on the lid.

Seeing that he couldn't stop him in time, Robert quickly cast a head soaking spell on himself and opened the box directly in the dormitory?

Young man, you are really good. Please be prepared to be disabled by other roommates.

The development of the facts was not much different from what Robert imagined. After the lid was opened, Stebbins was immediately stupefied by a pungent, rotten smell. He stared blankly at the jug in front of him and rolled his eyes. , kicked his legs and fainted.

Robert, “…”

You are sure that I will clean up the mess for you, right?

So on the second day of school, Madam Pomfrey saw a certain little wizard that she didn't want to see.

"Mr. Leslie, you came really early this semester." Madam Pomfrey said angrily, "This time you finally attacked your roommate?"

"No, no, no, I didn't do this." Robert waved his hand quickly, and Stebbins swayed behind him, making Madam Pomfrey's forehead veins jump.

Robert's grievance is that opening cans depends on luck. How could I know that Stebbins' luck was so bad, so I just opened a bomb?

"Mr. Stebbings gave him a jar and said he wanted him to practice his skills." Robert could only explain, "You know, he wants to be a curse breaker in the future, so..."

Madam Pomfrey's expression improved. She was quite generous to the hard-working little wizard, "In that case, let's put him on the bed."

With that said, she started to spread the quilt, and then went to get some examination equipment and potions.

Robert carefully placed the person on the bed.

He thought it would be better if he stayed here for a while.

Because the smell in the dormitory now...

It's probably similar to a dry toilet that was built fifty or sixty years ago and hasn't been cleaned yet...

Hopefully Stebbins won't be beaten to death by the Hufflepuff badgers.
