While they were talking, the engine piston of the express train made a loud hissing sound and the train started moving.
However, the carriage fell into an eerie silence once again.
Albert's way of thinking is indeed strange, but one has to admit that his ideas are indeed correct.
"Anyway, I will definitely not work in the Ministry of Magic in the future." Albert was the first to break the silence.
"Percy would love to join the Ministry," muttered Fred.
"What about you?" Albert looked at Lee Jordan.
"I probably... won't join the Ministry of Magic," Lee Jordan said uncertainly.
"We do have the idea of opening a joke shop." Fred and George looked at each other and answered 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 Li Jordan were stunned and looked at Albert in disbelief. The weirdest thing was that they didn't think Albert was bragging.
"Don't look at me like that. In fact, making money is quite easy as long as you know the tricks of making money." Albert said calmly.
"For example?" Fred was curious about what Albert meant by an 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 Acromanthus in the Forbidden Forest. This creature is also valuable in other places. If you hunt one or two Acromanthus and sell them on the black market, you can earn a lot of Galleons."
Speaking of the Acromantula, both Fred and George shuddered.
However, the two soon remembered the scene a few months ago when Albert defeated a large group of eight-eyed giant spiders, and instantly felt that Albert's words were really correct. Yes, eight-eyed giant spiders, those really were bags of glittering gold coins.
"When it snowed, we ate snow mushrooms. As long as we know how to process them, we can also earn a lot of Galleons."
The three of them 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 wizards in the Ministry of Magic can't even use the Shield Charm properly. Someone must need this thing. As long as I perfect it, it will become a popular defensive item for the Dark Arts. I guess it won't be a big problem to sell it for ten Galleons."
"Ten Galleons!"
Not only the twins, but even Lee Jordan was stunned by Albert's words. The eyes of the three of them almost turned into the shape of Galleons.
In fact, as long as you know how to turn them into ways to make money, it is easy to make a lot of money.
After all, Hogwarts is backed by the Forbidden Forest.
The Forbidden Forest is the most abundant native forest in the UK.
No one thought Albert was bragging, because they firmly believed that Albert really had such ability and this guy had a better brain than anyone else.
"There is one thing you may not know yet." Albert took off the ineffective protective bracelet and said, "If you use magic props, the Ministry of Magic cannot detect that you are using magic. At the beginning, I used the protective bracelet to block Hector's flying curse and keep his gold buckle."
The three of them opened their mouths in surprise, not knowing what to say.
"I found the golden card in the opera house. When I saw the golden card showing signs of flying away, I knew someone was using magic to summon it," said Albert.
"You took it because you thought the other party might be using magic nearby?" Li Jordan's head worked quickly for once.
"Yes." Albert nodded. "If the other party is near me, the Ministry of Magic will most likely pin the blame on me."
"Why?" Fred asked back.
"Just look at what happened to Truman last year," George reminded. "It was Albert who tricked Truman. Do you think Albert has never considered the possibility that he might be tricked?"
"In fact, as you have seen, this is indeed the case. So I kept the gold card buckle and asked the owner of the gold card to help me explain it to the Ministry of Magic, and then I returned the gold card to him." Albert looked helpless.
"If it were me, I wouldn't think so much." Li Jordan admired Albert's brain: "It's a big loss for Ravenclaw that you didn't go to Ravenclaw."
"I just want to say that when you plan to make money one day, remember to take me with you." Fred said seriously.
The four of them looked at each other and suddenly couldn't help laughing. This feeling was really absurd. To others, this was just a bunch of little kids talking nonsense seriously.
The train was heading north, the sky was dark, and it began to rain outside. After a while, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the dense raindrops hit the glass windows, and the lights in the carriage came on.
In the corridor outside the carriage, a cart was pushed along the aisle with a clattering sound. Albert found that the person pushing the cart had changed. It was no longer the proprietress of Honeydukes, but she was still a witch with a kind smile.
Albert and Lee Jordan both bought some snacks to share with everyone.
"In fact, I think you can make a lot of money without using the money-making method I just mentioned." Lee Jordan took a sip of pumpkin juice and said jokingly: "All you have to do is participate in the Daily Prophet's Galleon Prize."
"That's right, if you win the jackpot you can get a large sum of Galleons." Fred immediately agreed.
“The probability is not high.”
"Why?"
"Is this possible? Just think about it." Albert looked at Li Jordan speechlessly. "If people are really that lucky, they can just buy lottery tickets, pick up money when they go out, and dig a gold mine. Why would they have to work hard?"
"We think you're very lucky," George muttered. "Maybe you can win the jackpot."
Albert looked George up and down, making him feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?" George asked anxiously.
"Nothing, I was thinking, why don't you give it a try? I feel like your family has a chance to win the Daily Prophet jackpot in the future." Albert suddenly said, "Give it a try, it won't hurt anyway."
"Are you sure?" George was a little unconvinced, but thinking of Albert's mouth...
"Forget it. In the future, who knows when it will be?" Fred muttered, "Albert must be fooling you."
"Write it down, write it down quickly." Li Jordan said jokingly, "I'm just curious, can Albert really say this?"
"I'm just talking nonsense." Albert shrugged his shoulders and looked out the window. "Why does it rain so much in this season?"
"It seemed to be raining last year too." Fred picked up the Chocolate Frog card and asked casually, "Who wants a Dumbledore card?"
"No, I already have several."
"Where's Albert?" Fred asked again.
"I don't collect this stuff. Wait, show me the card." Albert fiddled with the picture of the Chocolate Frog with his fingers, thinking of a game, and said to himself: "In fact, we can develop a wizard card game."
Albert thought of the Quint cards and other card games he had played.
"What the hell is that?"
The three were a little confused when they heard this. They only understood a few words, cards, and games, but they had no idea what they meant when connected together.
Albert briefly introduced the rules of the card game to the three people.
"You see, there are many famous wizards in the Chocolate Frog cards. We can use them and then add some famous items, historical events, and spell effects, turning them into the background of the cards and giving them certain functions."
Albert began to plan the wizard cards according to the card game and told others his ideas.
"Yes, let's record this and try to promote it." Albert said as he took out a new notebook and wrote down his idea.
"It sounds interesting." George nodded and said, "I think it's easier to remember those people and events this way than studying the History of Magic. At least, I don't have to worry about mixing up the weird Ulric and the devil Emeric."
"When the time comes, remember to take me with you," Li Jordan said, patting his chest. "I feel this game can be promoted to various countries."
"I think you're exaggerating." Fred didn't believe it.
"Don't you understand? Every country has its own famous wizards, history, achievements, and some infamous wizards. Record these people and history on cards and turn them into a game. This is more interesting than Gobstones. Moreover, we can better understand our history through cards instead of wasting a lot of time memorizing the damn history of magic."
Li Qiaodan became more and more excited as he spoke. "When the time comes, I will definitely create a card of my own. Well, it will be called One of the Founders of Wizard Cards. The effect is that it allows players to draw three more cards."
"You've thought about your card first!" Albert couldn't help laughing. "What do you think my card should be like? The same as yours?"
Your card can be the Big Four, an effect card put together by the four founders of our wizard cards.
"Why only three cards instead of four?" Fred asked curiously.
"Because you are twins!" Albert said, "So the two of you can only be counted as one."
In later generations, the wizard cards that were popular in the magic world were initially formed in this small carriage.
Many years later, when Lee Jordan was interviewed by the Daily Prophet, he said: "At that time, we firmly believed that this card game would be loved by the majority of wizards, because we are not only playing games, but also learning history and exercising our thinking. Moreover, we hope that in this way, everyone will remember those wizards who have made sacrifices and contributions for us, as well as the notorious dark wizards who have hurt everyone.
Wizard Cards is not only a game, but also a reflection of the history of the wizarding world.
