HP Approaches the Magical World
Chapter 43 How can a good student not have a pair of glasses
(Thanks to the two good brothers 1770 and Chang'an Wangjin for their rewards)
Mrs. Smith is no longer in Greenwich, and she has gone to the old house for vacation before Christmas.
The reasons why Love Smith did not go with his wife were because the school was still in session, and the other was because he had to wait for his son to leave with Bella.
"By the way, Dad, where are the things I bought?"
Mr. Smith looked up at the rear mirror of the car, and said, "I was taken to the old house by your mother, and I gave it to your elf according to your request."
Love has always respected his son's various decisions very much. He does not think that his son is just a child. As a university professor, he has seen too many geniuses who have enough wisdom at a very young age. Solving and dealing with his own problems, so he is not too surprised by his son's precocity.
Anyway, my son is a wizard, as long as he doesn't want to destroy the world, then he can do whatever he likes, why do parents care so much? It also annoys the child.
With that time, it is better to live a two-person world with my wife.
This free-ranging attitude towards raising children has brought Jon a lot of freedom in life.
Can you imagine the joy of a life that is not restricted by your parents and supported by your parents?
No, that kind of happiness is beyond your imagination.
"By the way, Dad." Jon rubbed the ring on his hand: "How much pocket money do I have?"
"No one has touched your pocket money, it's all in your account."
Mr. Smith turned the steering wheel and turned into his garage. After parking the car, he asked again: "Why are you asking this?"
"I want to go and customize a Christmas present for myself."
For this question, Jon didn't explain too much.
When Bella arrived at her uncle's house, she used the Floo network to go home by herself. She usually went alone, while Jon and Mr. Smith had to decorate the house before going to the old house.
It was Christmas, after all, so it had to be arranged somewhat.
There was no need for Jon to arrange things at home. There were only a few ribbons, and Mr. Smith could solve them by himself. Jon took advantage of his father's time to eat dinner, and went out with his wallet alone.
The neighborhood of Jon's house is still close to the University of Greenwich, and the nearby business market is still very developed, and Christmas is even more lively.
But this excitement is not attractive to Jon.
He is a person who has experienced Double Eleven.
Walking on the street for a while, Jon held a candy cane in his hand, and then walked into a handmade shop that didn't seem to have many customers.
This store has been here for many years, and the owner of the store is an elderly Chinese man with good craftsmanship. Jon always came here to play when he was very young. At that time, he saw this old man making things, so he I always remember it clearly.
As the name suggests, handmade shops can do anything as long as the requirements are reasonable.
The purpose of Jon's coming out was actually to replace his monocle with a new frame and turn this pair of glasses into a pair.
Although he is not short-sighted, wearing a monocle is really weird. The world of wizards is also developing, and the monocle has indeed been eliminated for a long time.
Pushing open the door of the custom shop, Jon walked to the counter and woke up the old shop owner who was dozing behind the counter.
"Grandpa Jin, Merry Christmas."
The old shop owner was not angry about being woken up by Jon. Older people always like children. As an old acquaintance, he also likes Jon very much.
"Did Jon come here to wish Grandpa a Merry Christmas?"
The old man put on the glasses hanging on his chest, and then squinted at Jon.
"No." Jon shook his head lightly: "I'm here this time to ask you to help me make a frame.
"
He took the monocle out of his pocket and placed it gently on the silk cushion above the counter.
"Oh, this is a very old style, is it an antique in your family's collection?"
The old shopkeeper put on the gloves that were set aside, and carefully held the support frame of the lens.
"What do you want the new frame to look like? Is it just for maintenance? I have a lot of frames here for you to choose from."
Jon had no idea.
He just wants an ordinary pair of glasses. The glasses don't need to be very beautiful, they just need to be ordinary enough.
"You will really give the old man a hard time!"
The old shopkeeper let out a hehe laugh, and pushed out a small box that fit the size of the lens: "Come on, have a look at these frames, do you like it?"
Jon chose, but picked out a shelf, but it is not ordinary at all, it is amber, and there are patterns carved on it. The most important thing is that there is a small buckle where the lens is placed, which can be opened. It will not damage the lens during installation.
Although the lens looks nothing, but several magic circles are engraved on the outline, and it is filled with colloid made from magic plants in the Forbidden Forest. It cannot be seen on the surface, but the inside is really delicate. It was broken, and Helga had to do it herself if he wanted to fix it, and he couldn't fix it for a while.
So Jon fell in love with this frame at a glance, and only after seeing it more did he feel that it was new and unusual.
so……
"How much is this frame?"
Jon played with the brown frame in his hand, and released a little magic power, probing into the frame from the tip of his finger.
There was no reaction, the magical power seemed to just circle around in the mirror frame, and then dissipated in the air at random.
Sure enough.
The old shopkeeper did not expect that Jon would pick this up in the end.
"This frame is quite ordinary. I thought you would choose the black one."
Jon smiled and replied: "At my age, black is really not suitable, but this amber one is more suitable."
"You have a good eye, but this frame is not cheap."
"It's okay, I brought the money."
Jon shook the wallet in his hand: "But I have to ask Grandpa Jin to help me match another lens."
"Of course, of course." The old shopkeeper moved quickly, and had already taken a round lens and polished it according to the lens brought by Jon.
The only advantage of the handmade shop is that Jon can watch at all times, and his lenses will not be damaged. As for the broken frames, he doesn't care much.
If he didn't have a suitable spectacle frame, he still brought a piece of suitable magic wood and planned to order a frame here.
But since it is suitable, it is naturally very good.
The old shop owner's skill makes perfect, and the lens is quickly polished. After all, it is just a plain lens, and it does not take much effort.
After waiting for two hours, Jon finally put on his new glasses.
"He looks like a good student."
He looked at himself in the mirror and said.
