Lost Technology

Albert was completely unaware of Dumbledore's meeting with the LeMay Couple; he was now frantically absorbing the alchemical knowledge mentioned at the party.

This time, we really made the right choice.

Although no one fully disclosed their findings, Albert still learned a great deal of useful knowledge, which was directly reflected in the significant increase in his alchemy skills and experience.

Moreover, most wizards were willing to maintain contact with him via owl. Albert naturally accepted all offers, but he was puzzled as to when he had become such a sought-after figure. Did they have high hopes for his future? Albert quickly shook off these extraneous thoughts and listened attentively as Adolf explained the important principles of the Two-Way Mirror.

Actually, Two-Way Mirror aren't exactly a secret in the Wizarding World. However, they've largely disappeared from the market Two-Way Mirror, despite their former Wizarding World.

"I have a question!" Albert asked after Adolf finished speaking, "Why do we hardly see anyone selling Two-Way Mirror anymore?"

"Mr. Anderson, as I just said, the manufacturing process for Two-Way Mirror has been lost for many years," Adolf said with considerable regret.

"In fact, many people know the general principle of this magic mirror. However, after its creator, Brell Bosted, passed away, the technology for making Two-Way Mirror disappeared, and no one can make Brell Bosted's Two-Way Mirror anymore."

"Just as I said, Two-Way Mirror were once popular in the Wizarding World. Back then, there were still a lot of Two-Way Mirror in the Wizarding World. Nobody would make inferior ones because they simply wouldn't sell."

Later, as the Two-Way Mirror were damaged, fewer and fewer remained, making it difficult to find Two-Way Mirror on the market. The manufacturing techniques of the Two-Way Mirror were also gradually forgotten. Of course, the most important point is that to manufacture Two-Way Mirror, one must be proficient in both alchemy and the Transfiguration Transformation Charm.

The essence of Two-Way Mirror is an advanced application of the Transformation Charm; however, very few wizards are capable of using it on a magic mirror.

Even if one is proficient in alchemy and Transformation Charm and successfully creates Two-Way Mirror, the magic cast on the object will weaken over time.

The Two-Way Mirror made by Brell Bosted did not have this problem, and the secret behind it remains unknown to this day.

"This is not surprising. Many ancient crafts have been gradually lost or eliminated by the times, such as the Vanishing Cabinet, which was very popular during the First Wizarding War."

"No, sir, I think many people are mistaken," Albert kindly reminded him. "Actually, Two-Way Mirror are quite popular. Take a couple of friends of mine at Hogwarts, for example. After they graduate from Hogwarts, they will definitely need Two-Way Mirror to stay in touch. This method is much faster than writing letters. What do you all think?"

At that moment, everyone present was stunned, and then someone couldn't help but laugh and nod, saying, "You're absolutely right. It's us old men who are stuck in our ways."

Family members can use the Two-Way Mirror to contact the children at Hogwarts, and couples can also use it to Two-Way Mirror, just like a video call, but many people haven't thought of this.

"Mr. Anderson, you seem quite interested in Two-Way Mirror?" Adolf asked curiously. "Could you tell me why?"

"I think this technology is very promising," Albert explained. "If I had a Two-Way Mirror, I could stay in touch with my family every week without having to spend time writing letters. If we had Two-Way Mirror, we wouldn't need to write letters to talk about alchemy. While owls are convenient, they take time to travel, and letters sometimes don't perfectly express a person's thoughts."

"In the Muggle World, there is something called a telephone that allows people in two different places to communicate with each other through words. The technology of Two-Way Mirror obviously goes a step further, bringing people closer together."

"Great idea!" Adolf clapped his hands. "If you want knowledge about Two-Way Mirror, I wouldn't mind sharing my research with you. Perhaps one day you'll be able to invent an even better magic mirror. Don't forget to include my name in the design!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, everyone couldn't help but laugh. They all knew it was just a joke; the wizards here didn't care much about fame and fortune, because they were simply too famous in the Wizarding World.

"Thank you for your generosity." Albert bowed slightly to the old wizard. "If that day ever comes, I will."

At this moment, everyone was quite surprised and didn't understand why Albert favored the Two-Way Mirror. Although they had heard Albert explain the reasons earlier, they still didn't understand.

Magic is very convenient; wizards rarely feel distance. If needed, an Apparition or Floo Powder can instantly take them to their destination.

This is one of the reasons why Two-Way Mirror have been gradually phased out; people no longer need them.

However, Albert still sees many uses for this technology, which only shows that there is a certain difference in their ways of thinking.

Albert glanced at his Task Panel.

"What is Vanishing Cabinet?" Albert asked again.

"Like Two-Way Mirror, there are two Vanishing Cabinet, and they can act as a passage between two places. If an object is placed in one Vanishing Cabinet Vanishing Cabinet, it will appear in the other." This time, it was Smith who answered him.

"The Vanishing Cabinet was very popular during the First Wizarding War. When people were attacked by Death Eater, they could use the Vanishing Cabinet to appear in another place and escape."

"Of course, there are two problems with this. The cost of making a pair of Vanishing Cabinet is too high. If the cabinets break, they need to be repaired by professionals before they can be used again. In today's peaceful world, no one would use such an expensive magical item."

The Vanishing Cabinet felt a bit like a portal to Albert, well, it was a portal.

However, the magic of teleportation in the Wizarding World is so advanced that technologies like the Vanishing Cabinet have been completely forgotten. After all, compared to 2 Sickle of Floo Powder, the Vanishing Cabinet are far too expensive and inconvenient.

However, in Albert's eyes, every technology has its value, and the Vanishing Cabinet is no exception.
