Chapter 135 Life and Death

'Teach me to be a dog again...'

With this thought in mind, Andrew ended his conversation with Percy - he had tried his best, and if this didn't work, then there was nothing else he could do.

As for the guilt of selling out the society?

The society has advocated this kind of internal competition, so it doesn't matter if Percy comes once. It would be better if he is killed, as it would be considered as getting rid of harm to the people. If Andrew was not unable to withstand the private duel at the moment, he would have killed those guys who were not on the right path.

Seeing that the materials had been transported and delivered, he collected the delivery note and prepared to keep it in Professor McGonagall's office for filing - other things could be discussed later, but this thing was better to just write down in notes, as it would be hard to explain if something went wrong.

After re-registering the quantity and price of various materials, keeping the originals, and handing the sub-account to the finance office, Andrew felt relieved and continued to study Transfiguration on his own.

Up to now, although his Transfiguration was still roughly within the traditional classification, the angle of research had deviated a little bit - according to Professor McGonagall, it was at the stage of using Transfiguration to bring things back to life.

Dead things become dead things, this is the first stage.

That is to say, using Transfiguration to transform one object into another, the extension of volume, shape, material, etc. cannot change the situation where a dead object becomes a dead object.

Even if you turn a grain of rice into a huge rock, you still cannot escape this category. It is just a journey of exploring the structure of inanimate objects.

The second stage is the transformation from living to dead, which is what the professor said, the stage of suppressing life activity by using Transfiguration.

Traditional Transfiguration does not have such a division, and even puts some simple transformations of living and dead into the first grade, such as the transformation of small animals like beetles and mice.

But according to the special lesson that Professor McGonagall gave to Andrew, it was not to study Transfiguration one by one, but to study through various examples how to use Transfiguration to suppress the vitality of creatures and apply the weak vitality to the process of transformation.

The third stage is what Andrew has just started to study, making it come alive.

To channel the vitality of life, to change the characteristics of life through transfiguration, and thus change life - in simple terms, to change one living thing into another living thing,
This is quite different from the traditional theory. The progress is different from the current syllabus and even includes the content of advanced classes.

However, it was not really an innovation. It was a theory that Professor McGonagall came up with specifically for Andrew. Others would practice first and then explore, but his theory progressed too quickly and his magic power couldn't keep up. He could only focus on theory and then make up for the experiment as his magic power grew with his age.

"Using eggs for experiments... is the easiest way to get started... but... turning eggs into mice..."

He read the information with a frown on his face - according to the publications that Professor McGonagall had pointed out to him, eggs were indeed a first-class material for transformation, but he could not bring out the feeling of life in them no matter what.

"Why the hell... why can't eggs work?"

He waved his magic wand at the eggs one after another - hourglass, football, ping-pong ball, crystal ball, building blocks, ribbons...

"As long as it's inanimate, it's easy, but when it comes to living things, I have no idea..."

"What's the problem? Even if the magic power is insufficient, we should be able to communicate..."

Andrew scratched his head, unable to figure out why.

"Mr. Taylor, I noticed that Hagrid forgot to purchase dragon manure. Although it is not a building material, if a large amount of backfill soil is needed, dragon manure must be piled up in advance."

Professor Adams trotted into the library - the dragon manure needed this time was much more than the reserves in the greenhouse, so a batch had to be purchased in bulk.

When they discussed the budget previously, they had agreed that fertile soil did not need to be prepared, so this item had to be prepared. However, when he calculated the reserves just now, he found that it was insufficient.

"Can you make it?"

"It can be within three days, but no later."

"That's great. Professor Adams, please write an application and I'll approve it. The amount is too large, and you must have this document when you apply."

Andrew put down the eggs and started working seriously. He even helped Professor Adams draft a draft, which only needed to be copied once.

"That's a big help - I'm not very good at this, but you just bring food into the library like that?"

Adams handed over the copied report. "Mrs. Pince will kill you."

"Raw eggs count as ingredients...right?"

"Material?"

Andrew put the things away uncertainly, and began to reflect on whether his life was going too smoothly and he was becoming complacent.

"Yes, materials for Transfiguration. After all, eggs are relatively good living objects for casting spells."

"Why not use seeds? That's safer in the library - but don't bring sunflowers, of course. You don't want to know what happened." "Seeds..."

It doesn't seem impossible - although it goes against the professor's instructions, at least I can experiment in the library. If that doesn't work, I can go to the lounge door to deal with the eggs.

"I can get you some if I can—the kind that germinates easily."

Professor Adams was more enthusiastic than Andrew had expected - after Andrew returned to Professor McGonagall's office to sign and seal the backup, Adams had already appeared in the library with several piles of seeds.

"Try this!"

When Andrew showed up, Adams pushed over a seed.

"this is?"

"Potato seeds mixed with a little bit of a bulking agent."

Aren’t potatoes propagated by tubers? I’m not well-educated, so don’t lie to me!

But who can tell about magic?
Andrew, with the attitude of trying everything possible, easily pointed his magic wand at one of the seeds in the pile - strangely, this time he easily found the vitality that he could not feel in previous experiments.

Ok…

Start.

In order to succeed in one go, Andrew manipulated the seeds to transform into plants, transforming them into the product he imagined.

……

"what is this?"

"Sunflower."

Andrew said without blushing.

"What about the one next to the sunflower?"

"Pea!"

"How can a plant look like this?"

...

The hybrid version is like this, Transfiguration becomes something that exists in the brain, not a plant in reality.

If you piss him off, he can turn the whole Plants vs. Inferi into a Plants vs. Inferi situation - that's what Percy's notes seemed to say.

“It’s a potato…”

Adams' eyes widened, he took out his magic wand and tapped the seed - it began to grow rapidly, taking root, sprouting, blooming and bearing fruit, and then a bunch of potatoes as big as small watermelons appeared on the table.

"This is the fruit, the seeds are inside, and this is the potato, the edible part."

Adams pointed to a pile of things on the table with a serious expression.

"This is the magic spell of rapid growth. Although the potatoes are hollow, it at least shows the entire growth process. It can even maintain its growth state for a night before withering. What kind of magic is that!"

"Transfiguration."

Andrew looked at Adams and tapped the largest potato - it grew four legs and a tail and began to trot across the table.

"That's it, transformation!"

The two of you looked at each other, neither of you giving in, and finally you realized that you were telling different stories.

It was not until everyone shook hands and made peace that Andrew noticed that he had already entered the so-called life-changing life - and in the subsequent inspection, the eggs still had no effect...

The elf gave him eggs from a farm, which could not be hatched...
