Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 94 The old man never does anything wrong (page 12)



As the saying goes: A fisherman is good at everything except fishing.

The old man standing in front of Bourne and Horace is the best example.

Perhaps, he may be too old to have a real physical contest with the big guy in the pond, but he can't help but have the tools at his disposal.

The self-retractable alchemical fishing rod enchanted with the floating spell is hovering under the shade of a weeping willow in the pond, waiting motionless for the fish to take the bait.

An alchemy doll, about the size of a human being, was holding a basin of bait that looked like undercooked black pudding and was constantly stirring it to ensure that the bait had the best consistency before being hung on the fishhook.

There is also an alchemy object that looks like a golden snitch, flapping its wings and constantly passing over the pond. It is the old fisherman's "see-through hanger", which can detect the position of the big fish through the water surface, and can communicate with that Used in conjunction with an auto-retractable alchemical fishing rod with a levitating spell attached.

Bourne took a closer look and discovered that the semi-floating "fishing chair" under the old man's butt was actually modified from a flying magic carpet.

You know, because the British Ministry of Magic prohibits wizards from using magic carpets, you can basically only buy them through "special channels" at a premium of three to four times. A magic carpet may cost more than two or three broomsticks!

Not counting the expensive enchanted clothes this man wears, just the alchemy equipment he uses for fishing. After converting it into gold galleons, it costs 2000 to equip each player of the Gryffindor Quidditch team with a standard version of the Nimbus. enough.

Looking at this old man who seemed to have the word "trench" written on his body, coupled with Grandpa Horace's French pronunciation of "Nicola" just now, the melody of a song immediately jumped out of Bourne's mind.

It's him, it's him, it's him...

He is Nick Flamel!

Maybe the older you get, the more like a child you become. Being disturbed by Horace, a dignified master of alchemy actually put his hands on his hips angrily and accused angrily: "Little Slughorn, you came at the wrong time to take my big stuff." 'They all ran away!"

Facing "Little Slughorn" whom he had not heard for a long time, Horace's face was slightly embarrassed, but considering that the person who said this was Nick Flamel - a man who has lived for more than six hundred years - This "young man" who is only in his eighties really has no reason to refute this old man.

He could only smile, and then introduced the real "Little Slughorn" to Nick Flamel, that is, Bourne who was squatting on the edge of the pond and had already put his hand into the water.

At this moment, Bourne suddenly reached out and grabbed a small thing, and then thought about it and lifted it out of the water.

"Why is there still a Kabbah in this pond?"

This thing looks like a scaly monkey with webbed hands, so it is generally called a "water monkey" in Eastern folklore.

There is a hollow filled with water on the top of Kaba's head. The water inside can provide energy for this magical animal. It is said that this magical animal likes to suck human blood and will try to strangle those who are unprepared when wading through the pond. people.

Although the word "kaba" is a neon name, they are actually more common in Mongolia's rivers and lakes.

"Then why don't you try feeding it a cucumber?" Nick Flamel made a suggestion to Bourne with a smile.

It was precisely because of what the old man said that Horace, who had already taken out his wand and wanted to deal with this water monkey, which was a little dangerous to ordinary little wizards, put his wand back again.

Kaba punched and kicked in Bourne's hands, but could not break free from his restraints.

"The alchemy doll won't eat cucumbers." Bourne shrugged and said, "Although I don't know why it relies on the water in the depression on its head to stay alive like the real Kabbah?"

Then, he put the 'Kaba' into the water. As the concave bowl on top of its head fills with water, it can dive freely underwater again.

"In fact, the reason why it can move is because I feed it some magic power regularly."

Nick Flamel sat down in his fishing chair.

Obviously, for Bourne, who could tell at a glance that Kabbah was just an alchemy doll, his answer this time was not to fool a child.

Moreover, after he finished speaking, he turned around and asked Horace: "Little Slughorn, have you ever mentioned something about me to this 'little Mr. Slughorn'?" ?”

After receiving a negative reply from Horace, Nick Flamel became even more curious, so he asked Bourne: "So little wizard, how did you tell that 'Kaba' is an alchemy doll? If I remember correctly In other words, its skin does not have any of the ancient magic scripts that are commonly found on alchemical items. I have hidden those ancient magic words in its body."

Originally, Nick Flamel thought that Bourne would take out a magnet or something, or tell him the difference between the Kabbah alchemy doll and the real Kabbah from the perspective of magical zoology morphology - Nick Most of Flamel's knowledge about magical animals is based on books, and there are inevitably some errors and omissions. Originally, when he was young, he preferred to stay comfortably at home instead of venturing into the wild. Now at this age, his physical condition is even worse. Not allowed anymore.

However, what he didn't expect was that the little wizard actually took out a deformed lizard wallet, and then took out a chainsaw sword that looked like a "utilitarian style" from the wallet.

"Excellent alchemical creations can give birth to organic souls, just like this loyal chain sword." When he said this, the chain sword in his hand immediately buzzed in conjunction with Bourne's words. "The Kaaba was held in my hand, and I could feel its displeasure."

Nick Flamel's eyes lit up

Immediately afterwards, the old man with an overly fair complexion sat upright from the fishing chair and continued to ask: "Can you tell me more carefully?"

Thanks to participating in Professor McGonagall's Saturday club, he has a full understanding of the differences and differences between alchemy and transfiguration. In addition, he had experience in using alchemy to transform and repair chain swords, so Bourne was not afraid to express some of his opinions.

Even alchemy masters like Nick Flamel kept nodding their heads after listening to part of what Byrne said. However, some old men gave "three consecutive denials" after listening to it - I'm not, I'm not, Don't talk nonsense...

"Then there's no way to explain it. If you hadn't let it lurk on the shore, and if you really couldn't catch any fish, just let it hang one on the hook for you, the machine soul of the Kabbah Alchemy Doll wouldn't have thought it was possible. It’s overkill, so I’m not happy.”

Bourne spread his hands.

┑( ̄Д ̄)┍

"It's not cute for a child to talk like this. What's more, at your age, how can you know anything about fishing?" Nick Flamel retorted angrily.

So, Bourne simply showed off his cards and stopped pretending...

Of all of you present, there is probably no one who knows how to fish better than him.

After all, a real fisherman doesn't play with mysteries and always judges heroes based on big stuff.

And for Bourne, who has fished for blade fish, rip fish, captured Valu whales on the planet Fenris, and even participated in Kraken hunting activities, fishing in this small pond is not too easy.
