Chapter 250 Where Is Alchemy Headed?

Before class, Jingying contacted Qin Weijie through mirror magic.

Mirror Shadow used his clone to follow Professor Quixote for two days, but found nothing unusual.

During the past two days, Professor Quijote behaved a bit like a homebody, spending time in the office and greenhouse every day. Except for classes and meals, he rarely appeared in the castle at other times.

Out of caution, Mirror Image specially observed what Professor Quijote did in the office and greenhouse every day.

After observing it all day, the mirror image was almost bored to death.

"That guy is such an idiot! Won't he get tired of watering and fertilizing some weird plants in the greenhouse every day?!? And do you know what he is doing when he returns to the office? He is still watering the plants. Fertilizing with water, the weirdest thing is that this fool actually chatted with the flowers he raised! Speechless..."

The mirror image kept complaining about how boring Professor Quijote was.

Qin Weijie groped his chin and thought: "It's most likely that he has restrained himself recently after being bumped into by Old Deng last time. You continue to send clones to keep an eye on him and tell me as soon as possible if there is any abnormality. Also, please take the time to listen. Listening to what he talks about with his flowers, I always feel that someone who can communicate with the plants he raises is definitely not normal."

There was a whole day of classes, from morning to night, and it was almost dark when class ended.

Unfortunately, there was not one class with Tom in the whole day today. The two of them had no other interactions except going to Black Lake to feed the two dogs in the morning and having dinner together at noon.

After leaving the herbal medicine classroom, Qin Weijie flipped through today's "Daily Prophet" and slowly walked toward the auditorium.

Due to the joint study of the three schools, the number of students has increased sharply. Now you have to go early or late to eat. If you go to the auditorium at the end of get out of class, there is a high probability that you can only see the back of your head, so Qin Weijie is not in a hurry to go to the auditorium to eat, and simply wanders around By the way, Yoyo would like to pay attention to the developments in the magical world.

During the whole day of class today, Qin Weijie hadn't even had time to read today's edition of the Daily Prophet, so he took advantage of the opportunity to read the newspaper.

"...The new version of the hair growth potion can save you from being extremely smart... This advertisement is too blunt! But it is also true that British men are generally extremely smart when they reach middle age."

Qin Weijie muttered and continued to look down.

Qin Weijie had already read today's front page headline in the morning. It was still about the Ministry of Magic's reform measures to deal with the war situation. The slogan was loud, but it basically had no practical effect.

When he turned to the third page, Qin Weijie was attracted by the title of a news item.

"A big earthquake in the world of alchemy! Where will alchemy go?"

"...For unknown reasons, some people predict that alchemy is about to decline. Our reporter interviewed a master of alchemy (whose identity cannot be disclosed for some reasons). In the interview, the master said, "Alchemy is about to lose the favor of magic. There is a mysterious force in the shadows that prevents the development of alchemy...Alchemy will stagnate and even regress."

The reporter asked if alchemy really went into decline as predicted, where would it go?

Answer: "We are also very confused. There are many people in the academic community who are looking for a way out of alchemy. They are roughly divided into two groups. One group is mainly based on alchemy and manufacturing, and tends to learn from the Muggle Industrial Revolution to innovate alchemy, using machinery and transformation. Mainly

The other school is mainly based on alchemy and pharmacy. They tend to "touch the origin" and use magic potions to reconstruct or break through the shackles of human body and spirit.

Although they are two schools, the essence is the same. Avoid the mysterious power in the shadows and find a way out in the existing safe alchemical foundation and field."...

...It is reported that the dispute between the manufacturing and pharmacy factions has now spread to the entire alchemy world, and has even triggered many vicious incidents. It is expected that dozens of alchemy leaders have been assassinated by the opposing factions, and where alchemy will go is still unknown. . "

Qin Weijie read the news several times and was still a little confused.

"Jingying, what do you mean by this report?" Qin Weijie seemed to be talking to himself or talking to someone.

Not long after, Qin Weijie heard the voice of Jing Ying in his ears: "How would I know where to go?"

"Alchemical Pharmacy and Alchemical Manufacturing! These are the same two courses offered by the school this year! Is this a theoretical dispute?" Qin Weijie murmured: "Alchemy is about to lose the favor of magic, and the mysterious power in the shadows prevents it." "The development of alchemy", why do these words sound so familiar..."

"Damn it! Isn't this just like classical magic being polluted by taboos!" The Mirror Shadow Monster screamed.

Qin Weijie also reacted: "Hey, it's true! If that's true, it's probably related to the invasion of the "dark side" into the real world. The power of the "dark side" has not only polluted classical magic, but has even begun to pollute alchemy. Damn it. It’s really about to rain! "

As Qin Weijie spoke, he thought of another question: "Even if the "dark side" has polluted alchemy, why should alchemy and pharmacy be divided into two factions that are hostile to each other? They even don't hesitate to assassinate leaders of the opposite faction. What are they trying to do? "

Jingying was silent for a long time, and said in a gloomy voice: "It's a dispute over theory, a battle over orthodoxy, and a battle over fate in alchemy."

"What the hell!? What you said is a bit mysterious! Do you know something? There is also a dispute over luck, this is Europe and not China!"

Qin Weijie complained, but Jingying stopped responding.

Despite Qin Weijie's repeated communication, Jingying seemed to be gone and no longer gave any response.

Seeing this, Qin Weijie wanted to dig deeper, but he could only give up temporarily because Jingying didn't say anything.

Putting away the newspaper, Qin Weijie continued to walk towards the auditorium.

Five minutes later, he arrived at the auditorium and looked around for Tom.

Not long after, Qin Weijie found Tom in the center of the Slytherin table.

At this time, Tom was laughing like a 100-pound fool. Sitting opposite him was a girl with delicate looks and a naive face.

Qin Weijie walked over without stopping and slapped Tom on the back of the head: "Dogecoin, there is the opposite sex but no humanity! You didn't come to me after class. Didn't you have a magical animal class this afternoon? You didn't come to me in the greenhouse after class!"

Tom scratched his head that was slapped by Qin Weijie, and said embarrassedly: "Hehe, I forgot, I forgot!"

Qin Weijie ignored Tom and took the opportunity to sit next to him, but unfortunately the seats on both sides of Tom were full.

Seeing that there were no seats, Qin Weijie planned to find a seat at the Ravenclaw table. However, Malfoy, who was sitting next to Tom, moved away very actively, and left so quickly as if he couldn't wait to leave.
