Chapter 100

In the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ethan ran directly to the Slytherin side and sat in the corner of the back row with Cassandra, reading her palm, playing with her golden hair, and bragging to pass the time.

At the front, several young wizards were performing a stage play. Lockhart was explaining it and correcting some problems from time to time. He seemed very excited. This was what he was good at.

He also gave extra points to students who performed well from time to time.

Since Lockhart returned from leave, the class had been like this.

From grade one to grade seven, all students were treated equally. They were asked to perform stage plays, and the script was a passage from his book.

Some of the young wizards below were quite interested and participated with great enthusiasm, proudly taking the stage.

But many, like Ethan and Cassandra, started the show and did not regard it as a class at all, instead doing their own things to pass the time.

Over at Gryffindor next door, several groups were already playing wizard chess, so they didn't bring poker cards; otherwise, it would have been even livelier. (Hagrid is the dragon who won the card game, and wizards also play cards.)

Now, this was not a Defence Against the Dark Arts class but more like a fan meeting for Gilderoy Lockhart.

Lockhart didn't mind. Anyway, the students were in the classroom. As the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he could teach whatever he wanted. If it didn't work, they could always change the professor.

Besides, who said it was useless? Wouldn't it also allow the participating wizards to learn some experience in fighting against evil?

Even if Dumbledore came, he could still go over.

As the bell rang, Ethan and the others quickly stood up and prepared to leave the classroom, while the wizards on stage were still a little reluctant to leave.

It can only be said that fans are a very scary group.

"Adrian, stay for a while. The teacher has something to talk to you about."

Lockhart always paid attention to the situation below and stopped Ethan when he was about to leave.

He had thought about this for a long time and finally made up his mind.

Ethan turned his head and looked at Lockhart in confusion.

The professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class but he was still called at the end of the class?

"You go out first. I have something else to talk to Adrian about."

Seeing Ethan stop, Lockhart dismissed the students who were not on stage.

"Adrian, this is not a place to talk. Follow me!"

After everyone left, Lockhart took Ethan to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

"Professor, what do you want?"

Ethan frowned and looked at Lockhart, who was silent and seemed to be deep in thought.

He called him here but hadn't said anything. What on earth was he trying to do?

"Where do you have it? The alchemy that can improve your strength!"

After Lockhart finished speaking, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't know how to say this sentence just now. He should have had some shame.

Lockhart had a bad impression of Ethan.

He had the ability to deal with the Cornish Pixies that day, but he ended up getting himself into the school infirmary.

He was definitely careful.

But he couldn't do anything about him.

Although he was unhappy with him, he had to bow to reality. "Yes, I can make alchemical items with armor or offensive properties."

The fact that Ethan had good alchemy skills was almost known in the wizarding world, and there was no need to deny it.

It had been two weeks since Dumbledore helped Ethan apply for a patent, and the news had spread throughout the wizarding world.

It was also revealed that Ethan had studied alchemy with Nicolas Flamel and that his alchemy skills were extremely strong.

In addition, Cassandra was in contact with her own father, and Cassandra won.

The original net profit was 2:8, with Ethan on two parts and the Vole family getting eight parts of the profit.

Cassandra negotiated a 6:4 ratio, with Ethan at 6 and the Vole family at 4.

The Vole family lost a lot of money.

After deducting all the labor and costs, they didn't make much money at all.

It also took a lot of effort.

Not only that, the Vole family also promoted it, appearing in the Daily Prophet twice and other magazines to promote Baruffio's Brain Elixir and Wizard Mailbox.

They even contacted the Ministry of Magic and applied for a second-level badge of the Order of Merlin for Ethan on the grounds that Ethan had changed the way of communication in the wizarding world and made outstanding contributions to its development.

It's just that the award hasn't been given yet.

It can be said that during this period, the name Ethan was well known in the wizarding world.

Everyone knew that Ethan Adrian was a young wizard born to Muggles but with extraordinary talent.

He was spotted by Dumbledore and learned alchemy from Nicolas Flamel.

His future achievements were limitless.

He also completed an achievement at that time

 "The Light of the World"

In the center of the noisy world stage, the flame of glory is burning, ther name floating in the wind, and in the story sung by the people.

Achievement goal: The deeds are widely spread in the wizarding world (1/1)

Achievement reward: Spell: Ultimate Flash

Use magic power to condense into a beam of light with high temperature and penetrating properties to attack. The speed is quite fast and the power is considerable, but it cannot turn. It is a very familiar skill.

"I am more interested in alchemy recently and want to customize a few props from you for research!"

It is impossible to directly say that his strength is not enough and that he wants to take alchemy props to enhance his strength. He can only find this lame excuse. Anyway, it is good to convince those fans.

In the past, after finding that many of his spells could not be used, Lockhart went to see a special doctor. The result was that he had forgotten how to cast spells because he had not practised for too long.

Lockhart did not care about this. It was not until the last teaching incident, when he could not even deal with a group of Cornish Pixies , that he realised the seriousness of the matter.

It seemed that he couldn't do anything except the Memory Charm(Obliviate). Even if he tried to learn new spells, he couldn't master them; his level was not as good as the little wizards randomly pulled from Hogwarts.

Lockhart was quite anxious about this. Not to mention the risk of being exposed as a fraud, with such weak abilities, it was uncertain whether he could survive the year. He went to the school clinic on the first day of class. What should he do next?

So during this period, Lockhart was thinking of ways to address his situation while teaching poorly. He eventually learned from the reports that Ethan had an exceptional level of alchemy and then saw a potential solution.

If you don't have enough strength, you can make up for it with equipment.

Over the years, although he had lost his strength, he had accumulated gold (Galleons). Now that money had to be exchanged for strength, although he was a little reluctant, there was nothing he could do.

If a person is gone, no matter how much money you have, it will be useless.

"Of course, it's no problem. I don't know how much you need, Professor, and what type you need."

"I definitely need armor and a few powerful spells," Lockhart said, outlining his requirements without hesitation.

One is to protect himself, which is a must, and the rest is to enhance his strength.

"No problem. Armor protection items(with inbuilt protego) are 2,000 Galleons each. This is the market price, and they are not easy to obtain. You know this. The rest are priced differently according to the spells."

This is not a blind offer from Ethan. There are not many people skilled in alchemy. If you want to study alchemy at Hogwarts, forget it! You start learning the basics in the sixth grade and graduate in the seventh grade. 

In the seventh grade, you must prepare for the advanced wizard exam. How much time do you have to study, especially since the threshold of alchemy is the highest.

Real alchemy is inherited in wizarding families. There are not many people who can be called alchemy masters now.

This also led to the increasing scarcity of alchemical tools in this era, and most of them were in the hands of pure-blood wizard families. The protective ones were the most expensive among them.

"Can you show me the alchemical tools you have made now?"

Two thousand Galleons is indeed the market price, but it is still too expensive.

Although it was boasted so much outside, Lockhart was still a little unsure of Ethan's level. The alchemy of a young wizard of this age was so poor he wouldn't even dare to write it like this in his novel!

"This is a necklace that stores protego spell. No spell is needed. It can be used after being activated with magic power."

Ethan threw a ruby-studded necklace over.

"Expelliarmus!"

The moment Lockhart took the necklace, a red light shot out from the tip of Ethan's wand.

Lockhart's pupils shrank in fear, and he quickly raised the necklace in his hand. The next moment, a blue barrier appeared in front of him, successfully blocking the red light.

"How is it? The effect is good!"

"The effect is really not bad!"

This is Ethan's work before he went to Nicolas Flamel. Its protection is not as good as the one with multiple ancient magic runes added later.

Alchemical tools are convenient, but they also have a disadvantage. Their power is limited. The power of magic is related to emotions and other factors.

Alchemical tools can only be enhanced by magic power, and there is an upper limit, so they need to be strengthened by ancient magic runes. Ethan naturally cannot strengthen Lockhart.

"What is the strongest alchemical tool you have made now?"

"Regular magic spells are fine. I have all the ones you want, such as the Fire God's Way, the Fire Escape for protection, and the Explosion Spell."

Ethan picked a few powerful spells to talk about. The Unforgivable Curses would definitely not work. As for the Fiendish Fire, it couldn't be controlled by the ring. If something happened at Hogwarts, it would be difficult to handle.

"I want all three of them, plus the spells of Levitation, Flying, Petrification, Binding, Disarming, —a total of ten alchemical props, made into the shape of rings for me."

The request was really not low—ten rings, you were asking for the sky!

"Thirty thousand Galleons!"

"Thirty thousand?"

Lockhart looked at Ethan in disbelief. He had come to Hogwarts and risked his life, but he had only earned a little over ten thousand Galleons. You're asking for thirty thousand in one go—just robbing me!

"Fire God's Way and Protego Diabolica, ten thousand each, Explosion Spell, three thousand, and the rest is seven thousand for you. If you think it's too expensive, you can remove a few items yourself. This is just for the Galleons. For the rest of the year, you'll have to give me extra points in every class."

Now Lockhart was in a dilemma. Fire God's Way and Protego Diabolica were only spells Lockhart had heard of. They were extremely difficult to learn and powerful, and most people had no chance to learn them.

Now that he could use alchemical tools of this level, Lockhart naturally didn't want to refuse, but the price was too steep.

The remaining price was still within the acceptable range, and as for the extra points, it was even less of a problem.

Thirty thousand Galleons was most of his savings.

After much negotiation, Lockhart finally agreed and promised to deliver Ethan twelve thousand Galleons within three days, which was the deposit and the price of the armor necklace just now. The condition of extra points was directly agreed upon.

The remaining twenty thousand Galleons would be paid after all the products were completed.
