The advanced architecture taught Mo Fei many details that he had not noticed.
Maybe Grindelwald never thought that magic would leave some traces after transforming the original castle.
As wizards, they are all used to sensing traces of magic power, but do not notice some special places visible to the naked eye.
As Muggle, Mo Fei used their own methods to analyze some details from this castle, and these details are obviously related to magic.
For example, on the outside of many castles, there will be some inexplicable patterns. If these patterns that look like flowers are removed, the castle will lose a lot of its mystery.
He has been to Earl Winter's mansion in London. It is also very ancient and luxurious, but compared with here, there is always something missing.
Mo Fei regards such things as traces of magic.
Also, maybe Grindelwald didn't notice that in the garden outside the castle, some plants grew a little differently. They didn't seem to grow according to normal growth rules.
You know, Mo Fei's Herbology's farming skills are never simple. Even he feels that there is an abnormal situation, so there must be something wrong.
So, he just recorded all the abnormal plants, and then found a special drawing about the castle architecture, and marked them on it.
As for the interior of the castle, he also looked at it countless times.
However, this castle seems to have its own magic running inside it, and Mo Fei has never encountered any so-called opponents.
Whenever he felt that he was a little unfamiliar with the road, he would directly ask House-elf to appear and take him to some familiar places.
After a month like this, he became very familiar with this place.
I even had a lot of architectural drawings with me.
Grindelwald had curiously borrowed and looked at these architectural drawings that he had re-annotated, but each one was very scattered. He just felt a little familiar and had a slight inspiration, but no matter how much he studied, he never saw any clues about these.
You can't just let a Muggle see something from the place he carefully arranged in a month.
Moreover, even if he could see something, Mo Fei without magic would not be able to recreate such a place.
In fact, there is one thing Grindelwald did not say. He had another purpose in creating this place, which is to provide a final bastion of survival for wizards who are desperate in the future.
Mo Fei's study has finally reached a bottleneck. He has gained a lot here and is very satisfied. After all, it is rare to be able to learn so much knowledge...
But now that he has learned a lot, he plans to leave.
Before leaving, he planned to give Grindelwald some reward.
As Muggle, of course he cannot make anything more magical than magic, but his cooking skills far exceed those of wizards...
I have eaten a lot of House-elf's crafts during this period, and I can only say that their craftsmanship is not bad, probably at the level between Advanced Cooking and Master-Level Cooking... But the only problem is that House-elf seems to be more inclined to make their own meals that they have already learned.
They never think about how to improve their food. After their cooking skills reach a certain level, they no longer insist on it.
It seems that it is talent limitations, or congenital blood oath restrictions... that prevent them from voluntarily studying cooking.
And even if the master of the family orders them to improve their cooking skills, master-level cooking requires a little bit of aura, and the extraordinary level needs to constantly grasp that aura and then consolidate it bit by bit...
House-elf seems to naturally lack this innate aura.
Therefore, their upper limit remains there.
However, if you want to cook, where to buy things is a new problem. This is not the familiar London. I don't know where the nearest vegetable market is. Moreover, if you want to make the kind of meals that can repay Grindelwald, you also need to use materials from some magical creatures...
Fortunately, House-elf is really useful at these times.
"Lulu!" House-elf, which appeared frequently during this period, flashed in front of me.
"What's the matter, Mr. Mo Fei? What are your orders..."
But House-elf, who had reached Mo Fei's waist, was looking at him with a puzzled look on his face.
Mo Fei directly handed it a menu listed in his hand, "I want to cook a meal to entertain Grindelwald. Could you please help prepare it..."
"No trouble, no trouble..."
But as soon as he took the menu and took a few glances, he discovered some problems. Some of the items on it were not simple ingredients. There were also some magical herbs and the meat of magical creatures. Generally speaking, these items are used to make potions, so they are generally inaccessible.
Seeing that House-elf was a little embarrassed, Mo Fei told him directly, "Give the menu to Grindelwald, he will agree..."
Just as he expected, after learning about the matter, Grindelwald agreed without asking too much.
After seeing these materials, he also thought of the Deep-Sea Devil Ray he had eaten before, and he actually felt a little missed.
Moreover, this opportunity was so good that he specifically asked Mo Fei if he could call some other wizards to enjoy it together.
Mo Fei actually asked about the approximate number of people and found out that it was about 6 people, so he agreed directly.
The formal reception will be postponed to tomorrow night, but Mo Fei started preparing the ingredients as soon as they got them.
Among these ingredients, he largely regarded Muggle's commonly used ingredients as embellishments, while Wizarding World's own ingredients and Herbology were the focus of his preparation.
He took out the juice or some skins of many magical plants as seasonings, sliced them into slices, and chopped them into pieces. Many of the materials that the little wizards could not handle on Potions Class seemed so obedient in his hands.
After a large amount of materials were prepared, he began to mix them.
It has to be said that he had to use air to assist when mixing. In a huge ceramic basin, a large amount of materials were piled up at the bottom like impurities that needed to be dealt with in the mixer.
Mo Fei Start stirring frantically with both hands until they are completely mixed.
If you want to make Potions, you now need to add some water to extract a large amount of active ingredients, and then continue to fully fuse them on the crucible. Finally, a transparent liquid will be considered a success.
But Mo Fei is used for cooking. These things can soften the meat and prevent weathering, so there is no need to overdo it.
Moreover, when stirring, he is also letting the smell of Herbology itself fuse and finally enter the meat, making it more delicious.
Finally, he put 6 shaved Cockatrice into it for pickling.
Of course, the poisonous needles on the scorpion's tail were removed long ago.
Those Herbology weird colors entered directly into the chicken's body little by little, as if they were performing some weird ritual.
Mo Fei didn't relax. Chicken was one of the dishes, and their tails were also one, but there was also a staple food and soup to consider. He didn't plan to make the salads of the appetizers too complicated, he just used knife skills to complete a classic cold dish...
The final choice for staple food is homemade noodles, and I plan to use some sesame seeds to make dry noodles.
The soup is not complicated, just make use of the umami flavor of these special ingredients...
Everything is ready, just waiting for the guests to arrive...
