This Hogwarts isn't normal.

The second period on Wednesday morning was Potions class.

When Snape came in with two dark circles under his eyes, Vincent almost laughed out loud.

They were originally going to the dungeon last night, but it was because they had the Marauder's Map, a night travel artifact, in their hands.

In addition to Hermione, who was holding back laughter, there were also brothers Harry and Ron.

"Potter, stand up!" Snape stepped off the stage. "Tell me, what makes you funny?"

Harry's eyes averted,

Not daring to look him in the eyes, "Professor, I don't find it funny."

"Oh--really?"

"Yes."

Snape leaned his face closer, "Look into my eyes!"

"Ah-oh." Harry clutched his thigh tightly.

"Tell me, why are your handwriting bigger than other students?"

"I-I-"

"Are you trying to make up the numbers?"

"No, I-"

Snape didn't give him a chance to refute, "You have to rewrite it before the next class!"

Counting from after lunch,

There was less than 26 hours left for Harry.

Deducting classes and sleeping, it should be about 8 hours.

Without increasing the length of the paper, Snape was already being "merciful".

"And Weasley! Write another one for me too!"

Ron cursed internally for a long time.

I was still cursing long into the afternoon History of Magic class.

"He was targeting us. He didn't even specify the font size. He was clearly planning to do it again."

"Shh, keep your voice down -" Harry glanced at Professor Binns on the podium, "I don't want to write a long, long and smelly 'Medieval European Wizarding Conference' paper again."

"Tch, look around first."

Vincent skipped class, as did Hermione.

With the god of learning and the top student taking the lead, these two scumbags should not be here.

"Harry, it's not as good as us - you know."

"No, I don't understand."

Ron picked up the thick "History of Magic" on the table and threw it to the floor.

"Since the United Kingdom took the lead in establishing the Ministry of Magic in 1689, various magical governments have been established in various parts of the world——"

Not to mention Professor Binns, few students even looked over.

"We leave quietly so he won't notice."

Harry was encouraged several times, but he finally followed Ron and slipped out of the classroom.

It felt good to skip class for the first time,

It makes people want to try even after they try it unconsciously.

This was also a new try for Hermione in the common room.

Not skipping classes, of course, but referring to alchemy.

"The teacher never taught you the first six steps. I learned them by stumbling."

Vincent put the iron and copper blocks into a special alchemical small furnace.

“There’s no exact ratio, what you get out depends on the raw materials you put in.”

Every alchemist's recipe is a secret that is not passed down, and some are extremely conservative and even refuse to tell their apprentices.

Nico was completely different.

His recipe has no proportions or definite ingredients, just the kind required.

When you add metal to metal, you get a metal with two properties.

Iron is harder than copper but oxidizes more easily.

"Copper can solve the oxidation problem of iron, and iron can also solve the problem of soft copper."

Vincent closed his eyes and waved his wand, trying to sense the situation in the furnace.

The two metals have completely melted and can be dissolved after calcination.

Hermione didn't have time to marvel at the ring he put on that turned into gloves when she was attracted by a beautiful white flower.

"It's the tranquilizing flower that stabilizes the two metals trying to dominate, increasing the success rate of impurity removal."

As soon as Ning Shenhua came into contact with them, large black impurities instantly appeared on the hot surface.

Vincent picked up the tactical dagger recast with mithril and put his gloved right hand into the furnace.

The temperature is less than two thousand degrees, which is still far from the melting point of mithril.

Separate the impurities with a dagger, and you will come to the most energy-consuming meeting.

The iron and copper in the furnace are extremely pure,

But the two sides are incompatible with each other.

Forcibly blended together,

It will only allow advantages and disadvantages to coexist.

Vincent has to do,

It uses its own magic power to perfectly integrate the two.

Hermione saw the sweat on his face,

You can know the difficulty of this step.

Although she couldn't see what was going on inside the furnace, the image of the two metals merging little by little appeared in her mind.

"Concentrate, anyone can actually do it." Vincent turned off the furnace.

Low temperature fermentation, high temperature distillation.

After completing these two steps, only the final condensation remains.

Before the students came to the activity room after class, he had already divided the metal in the furnace into forty cards.

“I didn’t take away the softness of copper, but rather balanced it with the hardness of iron.”

The iron-copper alloy is dark yellow and not only has very good ductility, but is also particularly easy to maintain.

"Do you still want to learn?" Vincent placed the notebook in front of her.

This is a notebook recording alchemy, simplified based on Nico's manuscript.

Although it won't be that refined if you follow the steps inside, it will still be much better than today's alchemists.

Now that Hermione had asked, of course there was no chance of giving up.

"Am I your apprentice now?"

When Vincent saw her pouting, he resisted the urge to laugh out loud, "Forget it, you are my first apprentice."

"It's just alchemy."

"Yes, yes, why don't you call me teacher?"

Hermione hugged the notebook tightly in her arms, "Teacher Wayne."

"I'm so touched!" Vincent reached out and wiped the corner of his eyes where there were no tears.

"With the help of your genius apprentice, those pure-blooded gentlemen will definitely suffer a lot."

She responded with a polite smile, and then picked up a card that had already cooled down.

The touch was very delicate, not like ordinary iron-copper alloy at all.

With this level of refinement, I'm afraid it has exceeded the threshold of the International Alchemist Association.

"How long do you plan to keep them hanging?"

"As long as possible." Vincent stretched and looked at the twins who walked in with a lewd smile.

"Oh~ We finally caught them~"

He picked up two cards and threw them over.

Fred and George both caught them steadily.

"A new plan for Gwent cards, we will use this material in the future."

"The price remains the same?"

"Yes."

It feels very good, and you can tell at a glance that it is a product of alchemy.

10 cards for 1 Galleon, handmade by Nicolas Flamel's apprentice.

The two gimmicks together can only result in a sold-out result.

In terms of value retention, the Wizard cards are indeed quite high.

But in terms of appreciation, the Gwent cards will increase as Vincent's fame increases.

"Try using Transfiguration, it should be much easier than before."

The magic-friendly nature of alchemical items means that there is no need for senior students now, and only the normal level of third graders can do it.

"What if someone uses Transfiguration on it a second time?"

"The ductility of the iron-copper alloy is used to the limit. Those who want to turn it into other cards will only get a pile of metal fragments in the end."

With such perfect anti-counterfeiting measures, the new version of Gwent cards will definitely kill the Wizard cards.
