Chapter 15 The journey of becoming a loser starting from learning alchemy

After more than three years of magic study, Bell has mastered the basic knowledge of ancient magic texts.

This knowledge was essential to alchemy, so after mastering it, Bell was ready to start learning alchemy.

His first goal was to create a magical item for protection.

‘A wizard who does not carry a set of magic props is not a qualified wizard! ’ Based on this simple concept, Bell conducted a detailed investigation of the existing magic items in the magic world, and then he discovered a very wonderful phenomenon.

That is, although there are many magic props in the magic world, most of them are functional props, such as memory balls, looking glasses, pensieves, and double-sided mirrors.

The rest are basically black magic props used to deceive people. They are still the kind that will deceive yourself first before you accidentally deceive others.

So those dark wizards really lost their brains by studying black magic?

There are almost no magic props for direct attack or defense, and everything depends on a magic wand.

In fact, after thinking about this phenomenon carefully, Bell found that it was quite normal.

After thousands of years of development, modern magic spells are really very developed and very convenient.

As strong as Grindelwald, he can cast a fire spell that can destroy the entire Paris; as weak as the little wizard in Hogwarts, he can easily knock down an enemy with a coma spell and a petrification spell.

So instead of using attack and defense magic items, it's often better to use a wand to cast spells yourself.

And the peaceful life in recent years has intensified this phenomenon.

Many Hogwarts graduates cannot even cast the most basic protective magic, the Iron Armor Curse, but no one is worried. After all, the world is so peaceful and life is so beautiful, so what does it matter if we know more or less spells?

Just like an ostrich will bury its head in the sand when faced with danger, humans often deceive themselves in this way and choose to escape.

But Bell never runs away! Whether it is the pursuit of power or the paranoia of being persecuted, Bell hopes that he can become stronger and stronger!

There are two ways to become stronger, one is to enhance one's own strength, and the other is to use external forces.

Bell said that children only take multiple-choice questions, and as an adult... he wants them all as a grown-up mentally!

Of course, all of the above are excuses. The real reason is that Bell lacks a sense of security. As a fragile profession - 'Wizard', Bell really doesn't want to go out unless he wears several layers of shields!

Therefore, Bell decided to embark on the path of a technical geek to save the wizarding world (fog).

Bell never doubted whether he could successfully develop it.

After all, according to his few memories of "Harry Potter", the Weasley twins developed the 'curse-resistant hat' very early on, and it seemed to be a by-product of their research on prank props? As soon as it was successfully developed, even though it had many flaws, the Ministry of Magic immediately ordered 500 of them.

So you wizards are eating every day... ahem, be civilized.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that the magical world's research capabilities are low and have stagnated for hundreds of years. After all, the outstanding graduates of Hogwarts all go to work in the Ministry of Magic.

Bell had read many fantasy novels in his previous life, but he had never seen an author who dared to arrange for an outstanding archmage to clock in and go to work every day. Isn't it enough time to stay in the research room 24 hours a day and study the mysteries of magic? Chores are the job of magic apprentices.

Therefore, all the powerful wizards went to study politics and really had no time to study magic. Bell had no choice but to rely on his own efforts and ask for his own blessings.

…

Bell started his research and development journey with great determination, and then was forced to end his journey on the first day.

(lll￢ω￢)

There was no other way. Bell, who had never been exposed to alchemy, had no idea where to start! Helpless, Bell could only find his magical parents.

"I want to learn alchemy, please teach me."

"Sorry, I can only make magic stone statues."

"I've never learned alchemy either. Hogwarts doesn't teach it."

→_→

Looking at the useless parents in front of him, Bell felt very speechless.

Maybe he was embarrassed by Bell? William suddenly said: "When I attended the banquet a few days ago, I met a master of alchemy. Why don't Bell go to him and ask for advice?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Invite the master over quickly! Galleons are not a problem!"

Bell decisively agreed to the proposal.

"Forehead……"

William meant to ask Bell to visit the family and ask some questions related to alchemy. I believe that because of my own reputation, the other party will not refuse such a trivial matter. But Bell actually wants to invite him to be a tutor?

Of course galleons are not a problem, and it’s not like you, a brat, have to pay for it! Do you know how difficult it is to invite an alchemy master to give lectures? How expensive it is!

But William could only complain in his heart. After all, there were only four people in the family, and the other two knew that they must be on Bell's side without asking. Just look at Elena's eyes now and you will know that if he dares to say 'no', he will probably sleep in the garden again tonight.

Why add ‘and’? I'll shed tears if I say it too much, so let's experience it for ourselves.

"That's right! Since we have already hired tutors, let's just hire a few more." Bell clapped his hands and said suddenly.

He just thought of it. Learning alone has great limitations. Not only is it slow, but it also cannot guarantee that your understanding is correct.

Although in the past few years, if Bell had any questions that he didn't understand, he would always ask his parents directly. However, because his parents had been extremely busy with the original family expansion plan in the past few years, they did not have the time or energy to systematically explain all kinds of magic knowledge to Bell. So Bell decided to take advantage of this opportunity and simply invite some more outstanding wizards to check and fill in the gaps and lay a solid foundation for him.

What can William do? Now he just wants to give himself two big mouths.

‘My mouth is full of shame! ’

But if you say it out loud, it is impossible to take back the water that was thrown out. So he had no choice but to pay for it.

The family's expenses have increased many times in the past few years, and they really can't make ends meet!

…

Bell began to study with the tutor William hired, which made little Sanna very unhappy because her brother had less time to play with her.

And because he didn't understand before, after his brother made trouble in class, he didn't let himself go to class together. Her brother said it was a waste of time and she should learn the basics step by step.

So although she was very unhappy, the sensible little Shanna still obeyed her brother's instructions obediently.

It didn't take long for him to hire tutors. After about half a year and 10 tutors were hired, Bell stopped asking for tutors.

This made William let out a long sigh of relief. You must know that each of the wizards he invited is well-known in the British magic world. It is not easy to invite them to give Bell private lessons. Not only did he spend a lot of contacts and a lot of gold galleons for this, but he even thinned his lips by several millimeters.
