"Mr. Anderson is attending the party for the first time, so he probably doesn't know..."
"No, no, Mr. Anderson also brought his own results!" Sera Harrisis smiled mysteriously at everyone, raised her hand and pointed at Albert's right wrist, where there was an exquisite wooden bracelet.
Harrysis had just discovered Albert's protective bracelet. After all, he was an expert in the field of alchemy and could guess what it was at a glance.
"Mr. Anderson, can you lend it to us to have a look?" asked Harris.
"Oh, you're talking about this thing!"
Albert was stunned for a moment, then took off the protective bracelet version 2.0 on his right hand and handed it to Sera Harrisis beside him, with a look of confusion on his face.
"It's a very practical thing." Harrysis looked it up and down and couldn't help but sigh, "I couldn't make something like this when I was your age."
"A very British magic item."
Adolf, the old wizard who had previously said that Albert was a genius, took the Protection Bracelet 2.0 version from Harrysis, examined it carefully, and commented.
"This is not something profound, and the effect probably won't last too long. It's not much different from an ordinary amulet." Another French wizard glanced at the protective bracelet version 2.0 and thought that what these two guys said was nonsense.
"Haha, Claude, you're wrong!" Sera Harris couldn't help but teased, "Next time, remember to change your glasses."
"Any questions?" Claude was slightly dissatisfied. He thought his evaluation was fair. Although it was indeed amazing that Anderson could make such a thing at that age, this thing was just at that level. There was nothing to brag about.
"Mr. Anderson is good at ancient magic runes. He is really admirable in this aspect." Adolf pointed at the protective bracelet, looked at Albert, and asked curiously, "Why not use yew? I feel that yew is more suitable for ancient magic runes."
"This is just a test," Albert explained.
"Well, I suggest you try yew wood. It goes well with ancient magic runes." Adolf said gently, "Your name is Albert Anderson, right? I'm Adolf Fournier. I do some research on magic items. If you're interested in this area, you can write to me some time."
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Fournier. I am indeed very interested in making magical items." Albert smiled and shook hands with the other party.
"He is indeed a very capable little guy?" Adolf sighed in his heart, and prepared to go back to look for Albert's previously published papers.
Claude was stunned. He and Adolf had known each other for decades, so he naturally understood that the other party was not the kind of person who would brag about others casually. He knew that there might be something on the wooden bracelet that he had not discovered.
To be honest, Claude's level in ancient magic runes was average. Thinking of this, his face turned red. He quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip to hide the embarrassment on his face.
"I remember Mr. Anderson was mentioned in Mr. McDougal's new book about ancient magic runes a while ago." Nelson glanced at Claude next to him, nodded at Albert with a smile and said, "To this day, I still don't understand half of the book. Maybe we can find time to discuss it. Also, your idea is good. You can consider mass-producing it and selling it to those people in the Ministry of Magic who have risky jobs. I think they will definitely like your amulet."
The middle-aged wizard's English is a little strange, which may be related to the fact that he is Danish. He is also good at ancient magic runes and alchemy.
After all, runes come from Norse mythology.
Claude was even more embarrassed.
The 2.0 version of the protective bracelet has already been tested. Regardless of whether you can understand its uniqueness or not, you know that Claude has made a mistake.
"By the way, what kind of wood is this? It doesn't look like a mountain pear tree." Someone finally couldn't stand it anymore and changed the subject to Claude.
"That's mandrake root. It is said that dried mandrake root has the effect of protecting and expelling dark magical creatures." The one who explained was Gobarot, who was the best at potions among the people present.
Everyone couldn't help but look up to Albert. They didn't expect that there were so many tricks in such a simple thing.
"Well, this little wooden bracelet really surprised us." Claude coughed lightly and admitted straightforwardly that he had made a mistake just now.
In fact, if Claude simply admitted it, no one would make fun of him. After all, everyone would encounter such a thing, especially in a field that they were not very good at.
The subject of ancient magic is rather strange. If you want to truly understand it, you need to have a certain level of proficiency, otherwise you can only see the surface.
Harrysis motioned Albert to stand up and explain the protection bracelet. Albert talked about the magic runes on the protection bracelet version 2.0, but at least half of the people present didn't understand.
Nelson was very enthusiastic in discussing the topic of magic words with Albert, completely leaving the others aside.
"Then it's my turn next." Harrisis smiled and took out a glass bottle filled with a black powder that was so dark that it seemed to swallow up all the light.
"I call it dark powder. It's a very special powder. It's a magical substance extracted from minerals from Peru and mixed with some plant fruit powder. Its characteristic is that it is opaque to light."
Sera Harris poured some black powder from the glass bottle, raised her wand and waved it gently to prevent the small piece of darkness in front of her from spreading around.
"I remember this thing seemed to be discovered in Peru. It may be a characteristic of some mineral." Another old wizard frowned.
"You're right. However, there has been no progress in Peru for the time being. I have already researched its manufacturing process. However, I haven't found any use for this thing yet." Sera Harrisis thought for a moment and added, "If creating a patch of darkness counts."
Yelon Bard lit his wand and thrust it into the black mist, only to find that the light from the magic tip could not penetrate the darkness.
"It's strange that ordinary light spells and fire can't penetrate this darkness. Perhaps I can use this to resist spells caused by light."
"Muggles have a kind of smoke bomb that they use when escaping." Albert reminded, "You can use it to make something like that. It must be very practical. I just don't know how much it will cost."
“It’s not expensive, but it’s not cheap either.”
"That's very expensive. I'm afraid it won't be practical." Albert frowned.
"The extraction process technology needs to be improved, and the price will drop significantly." Sera Harrisis said after thinking for a while.
"By the way, can this thing be blown away by the wind?" Professor Broad asked coldly.
"No." Sera Harisis shook her head. "Although it is a powder, once it is diffused it is more like magic. However, its effect will gradually dissipate over time and usually does not last too long."
"We can always find a use for it," Gerber Smith consoled. "Of course, Mr. Anderson has already provided the first use for the dark powder."
After that, Sera Harris mentioned the extraction process of this thing. To be honest, it is a bit complicated, at least for Albert. If it is not produced on a large scale, it will definitely be a loss-making business.
