Chapter 136 Impossible Food Creation Technique

In the dead of night, in Ted's "private laboratory".

Anzu and Puck were still keeping watch for him to prevent him from being discovered by the professor or Filch.

In fact, Ted and Mrs. Norris have a very good relationship now. Now the cats come to Ted's place to eat snacks without Filch's knowledge. They are especially interested in the white mice, which makes Ansu very unhappy. They often go to Ted's house when no one is around.

swooping down the castle corridor for revenge~

Filch thought his cat was sick and refused to eat, so he took it to the school hospital to ask for medicine.

Under the light of the fire, there were still a few white mice and the long-tailed monkey in the cage.

Ordinarily, Ted's experiment has been completed, and this long-tailed thief monkey with a furry face and a thunderous mouth should be released.

The question is, isn’t this new experiment coming again?

Professor Kettleburn: My monkey is gone! Who saw my monkey?!

…

Ted has been secretly studying Azeroth's water-making and food-making techniques in the past few days.

In Ted's opinion, these two magics are almost the most difficult to convert into local magic.

If Ted hadn't upgraded his Transfiguration skill to level 1 due to his knowledge of Druid Transfiguration, he wouldn't have dared to try it.

There are traces of other water and fire magic, magic suppression, and even "awakening".

Awakening can restore a large amount of magic power in the body in a short period of time. If studied according to the path of wizard blood, it is not impossible.

But water creation and food creation are different.

The water-making spell is a bit better, at least the locals have the magic spell "clear springs like water", which can create water.

The only difference is whether the water can be drunk and whether it can restore magic power and physical strength.

But the food-making technique is completely different.

Can the magic world use magic to conjure food out of thin air?

Yes! But no.

I say it is possible because it is still possible to change it.

If you say it can't be done, it means it's just an appearance and you can't eat it.

In the field of transfiguration, there is a well-known basic law of Gamp's transfiguration.

There are five major exceptions. The first is that food cannot be conjured out of thin air.

You can turn raw materials into food, for example, if you have flour and water, you can turn them into bread, which simplifies the steps.

Like Aunt Molly does at home every day, most home witches are very skilled at it.

It is said that water can be transformed, why can't food be transformed?

Ted has done an experiment and found that the water he created using a water-making spell is drinkable.

Both white mice and long-tailed robber monkeys can prove it ~

But not the food.

The white mouse ate the donut that he had conjured up and died of pain in less than five minutes.

After the autopsy, it was found that the stomach had been greatly damaged and there was no food residue. There was something wrong with it.

Ted once again used the water-making technique to create magic spring water that could restore magic and physical strength, and fed it to the mice.

The three mice received different doses and behaved differently.

Two of them were in great pain, running around and squeaking.

The last one was so excited that it started dancing crazily in the cage...

This one survived yesterday's experiment. Among the eight mice used as test subjects, only one was "lucky" to participate in the third round of experiments.

Five minutes later, the other two white mice were dead, with protruding eyes and slightly swollen bodies.

He took it out and used a knife to dissect it, and found that the muscles and blood vessels were damaged in various ways, but there was nothing wrong with the brain.

"It's like the result of excessive magic power?!" Ted wasn't sure.

He recorded the experimental process and data in his notes, and wrote down conjectures and subsequent experimental steps.

Ansu on the side looked at the two dead white mice and shook his head in distress: If they died so miserably, they would definitely not be able to eat, so they could only throw them away, what a waste~

The long-tailed monkey in the cage covered its mouth with both paws and leaned against the side of the cage with a frightened look on its face. It tried to stay as far away from Ted as possible and wanted to stuff itself into the iron bars.

Its IQ is pretty good, at least it can tell that many white mice have died in the past few days, all of which were caused by this boy filling them with water~

And he also has the intention to feed himself!

Long-tailed Monkey: Help! Someone killed the monkey! Come on, I don’t dare to steal anymore~~~

"Clean up this place, throw the white mouse to a remote place outside the castle and bury it." Ted ordered, cast an invisibility spell on himself, and went out to go to bed.

Ansu followed naturally, flapped his wings silently, and disappeared into the corridor.

The psicrystal servant Kapa moves his legs and feet, and then uses his spiritual energy to direct the invisible servants created by magic to work.

Two invisible humanoid energy bodies floated out of the window with the dead mouse, and went to the edge of the forbidden forest in the distance to dig a hole and bury the mouse.

The invisible servant thing is very easy to use. You don’t need to eat, drink or complain, and you don’t need to pay a salary.

The only bad thing is that he has average intelligence and cannot give too complicated orders.

However, Psionic Crystal Servant Parker can command them in detail, which makes up for the shortcomings.

…

The next day, Ted came outside Professor McGonagall's office after school.

"Dong dong dong~"

"Come in."

Ted pushed open the door and entered.

Professor McGonagall looked up and saw that it was Ted.

Hey, rare visitor!

She sat up straight, took off her glasses and wiped them with a piece of fine cotton cloth, looking at Ted with an unfriendly look.

Ted has been in trouble a lot this year and was sent to the Forbidden Forest.

If it weren't for the fact that his transformation skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, and he seems to have put in a lot of effort, I would have to deal with him~

"Ted, what can I do for you?" Professor McGonagall continued to clean her glasses, not even wanting to look up at him.

Ted showed a very sunny smile, just like when he was taken to Diagon Alley by Mag.

"Professor, I have some questions about transfiguration that I would like to ask."

I don't know if it was Ted's bright smile that worked or his efforts in transfiguration that impressed Professor McGonagall. She finally put on her glasses and looked at Ted.

"Sit down." Professor McGonagall waved her hand gently, and a chair appeared behind Ted.

Ted sat across from the desk, holding a thick notebook, very well-behaved.

"Tell me, do you have any questions?" Ted's pretense worked, and Professor McGonagall was somewhat pleased with him.

"Professor, I would like to ask you about Gamp's basic deformation laws, especially the first of the five exceptions..."

After hearing this, Professor McGonagall pushed up her glasses and looked at Ted carefully: "It's still too early for you to gain knowledge in this area."

Gamp's basic deformation law is an extracurricular extension knowledge for the fifth grade.

But she thought about it, even if she didn't tell him, with Ted's character, he would probably look it up by himself. Didn't he already know something?

"Okay, do you have any questions about not being able to conjure food?" she asked.

"Excuse me, Professor, is it really impossible to conjure food? I mean, is it really impossible to eat it?"

Professor McGonagall stared into Ted's eyes and said, "Look, you've already tried it, right? You're not stupid enough to eat the things you conjured, are you?"

Ted sneered: "Of course not. But why is the water transformed from a clear spring like water drinkable?"

"Fool, because clear spring water is a magic spell, not a transformation spell..."

In order to provide additional training for good students, Professor McGonagall taught Ted a lot about Gamp's basic transformation laws, especially "conjuring food" that Ted asked about.

Most of the time, transfiguration can only change things you are familiar with, and most of them are not permanent.

This is why the conjured food cannot be eaten. Once the magic effect wears off, it's hard to tell what's in your stomach.

Magic can even cause unpredictable and terrible damage and consequences.

This is why Gamp's basic law of transformation stipulates that food cannot be transformed out of thin air.
