"Next, let's increase the difficulty."
Horace threw away the matchbox, picked up a stone from the ground, and put it on the table.
Then telekinesis, turning the stone into a shiny golden color.
"Can you use the Restoration Charm?"
Cassandra nodded and read: "Return to the original form."
The golden color slowly faded from the stone, making Jin Kela return to its original appearance.
"Yes, next you try to turn it into gold."
"It doesn't matter if you fail, Transfiguration is to experience failure again and again."
Speaking of this, Horace's voice has become a little urgent.
But he tried his best to control himself and forced a smile.
Cassandra just felt a little strange, but didn't consider that there was a problem with her Transfiguration.
Turn a stone into gold, change the substance?
Isn't that the ability of the Sorcerer's Stone?
She closed her eyes, trying to remember the atomic makeup of gold.
Then slowly chant the mantra.
The magic power in the body faded rapidly, and the stone pointed by Cassandra's wand gradually turned into the color of pure gold.
The shining golden color made Horace look deeply confused.
He carefully took out his wand, took several deep breaths, and then seriously said: "Restore the prototype."
The spell flew into the gold, and the result was still the same.
"professor?"
Seeing that Horace was silent for a long time, Cassandra asked in a low voice.
Horace took a difficult look at Cassandra, picked up the gold on the table, and said, "I have something urgent to leave, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. You can practice as you please."
After speaking, he took a step back.
An apparition arrives in Diagon Alley.
The gold in his hand was hot from his palm. Is this real gold?
Horace was not short of money, nor coveted of gold.
If his guess is true, then Cassandra's transformation technique is terrifying, and its value is countless times more than gold.
After entering Gringotts, Horace went straight to the second living room to find the goblin who specialized in identifying precious metals.
If there is any creature in this world who is the most careful in appraising gold, it must be the goblin.
"Good morning, Mr. Slughorn, are you here to deposit Galleons today?"
The goblin supervisor recognized Horace immediately, after all Horace was considered a wealthy client.
It's just that in these years, Horace has basically been withdrawing money and rarely saving money.
"I'm here...well, I saw a piece of something, please help me identify whether it is real gold."
"Gold!"
Hearing the word "gold", the head goblin's eyes lit up.
But after realizing that this was something Horace picked up, the light in his eyes immediately subsided a lot.
This is a magical world, and most of the things you pick up are unreliable.
Every few days, wizards try to come to Gringotts to save money with the leprechaun's gold coins, but this kind of thing that will disappear in a few hours cannot escape the eyes of the leprechaun.
However, this goblin looked left and right, and even tested it many times with his own goblin magic, but in the end he didn't see any clues.
Uneasy, he found several colleagues and used several methods to test together, and finally got the same result: this is the real product.
"Congratulations, Mr. Slughorn, your luck today is enviable. It is indeed gold at a fair price."
"Are you going to save it, or exchange it for Galleons?"
"I suggest you exchange it for a Gold Galleon, which is easier to store and carry."
The goblin rubbed her hands, and although she put on a friendly service attitude, she still looked at the gold nuggets on the table from the corner of her eyes.
No goblin can resist the lure of gold.
"No, no, I'm going to keep it for decoration."
After finishing speaking, Horace picked up the gold, turned around and left, leaving the goblin with a startled face behind, completely ignoring the faint curse from the corner of the goblin's mouth.
He just wanted to get back to Cassandra quickly and tell Cassandra all this.
[Completed 2/3 of Horace's Amazement. 】
On Malfoy Manor, Cassandra was a little surprised by the sudden mission upgrade.
And that completes the second wow?
Could it be that she successfully turned the stone into gold, which exceeded Horace's expectations?
Seems a bit simple, right?
At this time, Cassandra did not realize the seriousness of the problem.
The scientific logic that still existed in her mind made her dare not even think about such things as turning stones into gold.
But this kind of thing just happened.
There was a bang, and Horace Apparated back.
He was about to say something to Cassandra, but what he saw left him dumbfounded.
Looking at the golden grass leaves and golden flowers on the table, he turned to look at Cassandra who was smiling and humming.
It seems to want to ask, is Midas touch just a game for you?
"Professor, you are back."
"I practiced Transfiguration myself, and the effect looks pretty good."
Cassandra is already sure that the attribute of magic power change 3 can indeed strengthen her transfiguration.
In this way, even if she can't become a transfiguration master in the future, she will probably be able to perform more diverse transfiguration techniques.
However, Horace's next words shattered Cassandra's fantasy.
"Cassandra, don't be afraid of what I'm going to say next."
It can only be said that it is fortunate that Horace is in English, otherwise Cassandra might have to blurt out the answer.
"Your Transfiguration...is not quite right."
Then, amidst Cassandra's startled eyes, Horace told Cassandra.
What she used was not transfiguration, but alchemy, which is the touchstone to gold!
Cassandra made permanent changes to the material properties, instead of wrapping the target with magic power and temporarily changing the target.
[Tong, you must know what is going on, right? 】
Cassandra remembered that the system had reminded her that she had learned Transfiguration.
At that time, Cassandra was relaxed and didn't pay too much attention to all this, thinking it was just a difference in title.
[Transfiguration, that is, the ability to transform matter to a certain extent, requires the consumption of a large amount of magic power of the host, which can be understood as a certain branch of transformation. 】
"But this also means that I can only change matter? Transfiguration is not just about transforming one substance into another, it also involves the transformation between living things and matter!"
Cassandra also thought that when she learned Horace's body transformation technique, she could change her appearance and become an adult to do some things.
As a result, now it seems that she can't try to transform any living creature?
Because if you are not careful, you really can't change it back.
[The host just used the wrong magic, which can replace Transfiguration to a certain extent, not all of the host's Transfiguration has problems. 】
[The host can skillfully switch between transformation and transformation by learning the real transformation and learning to actively distinguish between transformation and transformation. 】
Hearing this, Cassandra was a little confused.
After thinking for a few seconds, he said, "You mean... I haven't learned the Transfiguration technique yet!"
078 The fourth two months, Halloween
[That's right, host. 】
At this moment, Cassandra suddenly felt the urge to cry.
She obviously worked so hard, it's just that she didn't increase her proficiency in Transfiguration.
In the end, it even mutated into a metamorphosis method. This is the loss of morality...
But seeing the gold on the table, she couldn't help laughing.
This is gold!
Although Cassandra is not short of money now, it is all Lucius' money. How can Cassandra have money now!
After careful calculation, how much Cassandra really belongs to her in this life?
Even including the school supplies that Lucius spent money on for Cassandra, a suitcase wouldn't be enough.
Cassandra is insecure, which is also an important reason.
But once Cassandra had a stable income, everything changed.
At least Cassandra no longer has to worry about material shortages.
Cassandra covered her mouth, not wanting to make her expression too obvious.
At the same time, he closed his eyes tightly and turned his head to look to the other side with difficulty.
All of this made Cassandra seem very sad about the problem with Transfiguration.
