He was supposed to take Tom to study, but at this time, Grindelwald kept staring at Mo Fei in the kitchen.
Tom Seeing this, I originally wanted to ask this somewhat strange man what he wanted to learn.
Just at this time, Grindelwald caught a glimpse of Tom, and he had a better idea.
He pointed directly to the kitchen, and then asked Tom.
"Have you learned your dean's cooking skills from him?"
This question directly made Tom shake his head, "No, I have learned from it, but except for Sister Lina, no one else in the orphanage has any talent in this area... Even Sister Lina, she has only learned some bread-making techniques. No one has learned the dean's real cooking skills..."
"Oh?" Grindelwald has never cooked before, and he doesn't understand how difficult it is.
He became interested, "Is it difficult to cook? Are you all so resistant?"
"It's not resistance... it's just that cooking requires talent, and none of us happen to have this talent... We can simply cook things. With the dean's recipes, we can make food that is edible if we follow it, but... we don't feel the inspiration that the dean said..."
Tom explained, "Take me for example. I once followed sister Lina and tried to help, but after picking up the kitchen knife, I felt that the thing was out of control. The dean can easily use the kitchen knife, and then slice, shred, and dice with ease, but it is difficult for me to do it..."
"Lina sister also said that knife skills are a kind of slow skill, so I started to try to learn seasoning... Seasoning soup seems very simple, but the result is that the thick soup that week is not delicious..."
"The last thing is the heat that Sister Lina is very good at. The heat of cooking and baking bread is very important. Squat in front of the oven and feel the changes in flame temperature, and then listen to the sound of the food bursting out, and decide the final heat... It sounds very simple, but after the same week, I don't have any special feelings..."
"At that point, the dean looked at me and concluded that I had no talent for cooking!"
"And every child in the orphanage has experienced this..."
"The only one who is recognized is Sister Lina, but that's just--the feeling for flames is okay, but the seasoning and dough-making skills still need to be honed..."
Saying so many words at once made Tom feel a little dry.
But given the awesomeness of Grindelwald's popular science dean, this incident gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Grindelwald also smiled, then waved his wrist, "Tom's cup Accio!"
A perfect Summoning Charm made a teacup stagnant in mid-air appear in front of the two of them.
Tom looked at his cup for a while, a little surprised. This was the first time he had come into contact with magic up close, and it was completely exciting.
"What do you usually drink? Milk, coffee and tea?"
At this moment, Grindelwald asked patiently.
"Is milk good? The dean said that I am growing stronger and other drinks are not good..."
Tom seemed to have become a good baby at this time, but his eyes were fixed on the cup, planning to see how the milk would appear.
Grindelwald did not disappoint him. He tapped the wall of the cup with his finger, and then Tom saw that the milk appeared little by little from the bottom of the cup, and then gradually rose. Just when it was about to overflow, he snapped his fingers and the milk stopped rising.
Immediately afterwards, the cup filled with milk slowly floated in front of Tom.
He took the cup and could still feel the temperature of the milk. It was still warm.
Tom took a small sip and then his eyes widened in surprise.
It turned out to be milk, and milk was conjured out of thin air. This fact really matched the magic he imagined.
Before, he was still worried whether this man might be a liar. Many of the stories told by the dean would include liars who had mastered some magic tricks and then pretended to be magicians to defraud. But now it seems that he had misunderstood.
His eyes were bright, "How did you do it?"
Grindelwald was satisfied and poured himself a cup of tea, then took a sip, "That's what I will teach you later... Now let's take the first lesson of magic education--"
"Recognize the danger!"
"Aware of the danger?" Tom repeated.
"Yes, things related to magic are very dangerous. Some of them are dangerous on the surface, and you can tell by looking at them, such as some terrifying Magical Creatures and plants, but some are in very hidden places - such as the curses on some magic items, and some seemingly harmless Potions..."
"And only by accurately recognizing the existence of danger can we, as wizards, find solutions and survive..."
"Remember, the first prerequisite for magic is to ensure your own safety, and then you can further study magic..."
When Grindelwald said this, he was very serious and did not mean to joke at all. When Tom saw this, he also nodded hard.
"In this case, let me briefly tell you about the Magical Creatures that your dean is dealing with in the kitchen..."
"Deep-Sea Devil Ray, ×××× level, is the (4-star) dangerous creature designated by Ministry of Magic. Of course, now that it is dead, you don't have to face it directly, but if it is still alive, you need to be careful..."
"They usually appear in the deep sea. When you happen to encounter them on a boat, it may be that the God of Death is calling you..."
Grindelwald also made a joke while explaining.
"They have excellent magic resistance. Many Charms will slip off after being hit... Moreover, its fins can cause great damage. For wizards, it may not be a big deal on land, but they will use the fins to cut the hull, and then cause damage to the hull and accidents..."
"At that time, if wizards don't have the ability to float, they can only go underwater and fight them... But casting spells in water is very dangerous... They are the overlords in the deep sea, so in most cases, wizards will become their snacks..."
"Then what should you do if you encounter them?"
"Why would I go to the deep sea unprepared? And if I'm properly prepared, what do they have to worry about?"
Tom's confident answer made Grindelwald very satisfied, and there was appreciation in his eyes.
"Yes, a mature wizard should not put himself in danger. If he really wants to go, it is necessary to prepare in advance... At this time, you only need to prepare alchemy items that can levitate in advance, or Potions of Underwater Breathing, Gillyweed, using Bubble-Head Charm in advance can increase the chance of winning... And in order to successfully come back with the loot, Apparition is also necessary Charms..."
Grindelwald explained it very carefully. Although Tom did not know many of Charms's specific spells, it did not prevent him from remembering them all in his mind.
In this way, one person talks, and the other is like a sponge, absorbing the wisdom of the battle crazily.
