Bamboo Forest Teahouse.
At a tea table, Lockhart and Morin stared at Master David opposite them. Lockhart's expression was expressionless, while Morin's expression was sullen. Master David, however, took a sip of tea with a smile and said calmly, "Master Lockhart, I suggest you carefully consider our suggestions. For an excellent alchemist and potion master like you, joining us is the best choice. In the future, if we both join forces, there will be a lot of benefits for everyone."
After finishing speaking, Master David drank the tea in his cup, stood up, and said with a smile, "We are looking forward to your reply, Master Lockhart. After all, we are all Sorcerers of Kamar Taj now."
The hints and threats in his words were self-evident.
What does it mean to be a Sorcerer of Kamar Taj now?
Then, under Lockhart's gaze, Master David opened a portal and turned around to leave.
Snapped!
Morin held the teacup in his hand and placed it heavily on the tea table in front of him, making a loud sound. Then, facing Lockhart, he said in an apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, Lockhart. I didn't expect that my friends who have been friends for so many years would do this."
At the end of the sentence, a burst of anger emerged.
What the hell, these bastards like David actually want to steal his cake. To say that it was only for Lockhart, Morin was a little apologetic at most. But this time, it's not just Lockhart, but he and Kaecilius have also been targeted. To be precise, the other party was jealous.
What is meant by selling magic potions? Market prices should be followed and negotiated together. What are called unknown potions are potentially harmful, and they need to be identified by a group of potion masters to ensure that they are foolproof. Isn't this just naked robbery?
He had only been working with Lockhart for less than two months. What did he mean by this? Did he want to kick him away directly? When he thought of this, Morin's anger surged in his heart.
At this time, Lockhart looked at the angry Morin with no expression on his face and sighed softly in his heart. Sure enough, what is supposed to come will eventually come.
The first time he came to the Marvel world, he had just come into contact with Kamar Taj and didn't have much influence. Plus, he acted carefully, so everything went smoothly. The second time he came to the Marvel world, he joined Kamar Taj, collaborated with Morin and Kaecilius, and the impact was not that big, or it had not been fully fermented.
And for the third time, he officially changed the Vientiane Book Cafe into a place exclusively for Sorcerers. In fact, it has influenced many Kamar Taj sorcerers. The influence has begun to ferment and attract people's attention. To be precise, it affected the interests of some Sorcerers. It's time for someone to step out and fight to protect their own interests.
No, the group of alchemists and potion masters headed by David have already taken a fancy to his Vientiane Book Cafe, as well as the potions and magic items in the Harry Potter world. They are ready to cooperate with him. First, what he means that David wants to form an alliance with his Vientiane Book Cafe, is actually dividing up his Vientiane Book Cafe. Exchanging new potions and new magic items with him, in fact, they just took a fancy to his magic knowledge.
He has already placed the first batch of magic books from the wizarding world in the library. However, these books have been carefully selected. The first batch contains relatively basic knowledge, and very few are advanced. And the basic knowledge itself is the essence of the wizarding world. But for an alchemist like David, it may not mean much. Despite this, Lockhart believed that the other party could still see the strangeness of the magic in the Harry Potter world through basic knowledge. It is no surprise that greed arises. The same goes for his magical knowledge of Kamar Taj.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Lockhart looked at Morin, who was still angry, and comforted him, "Morin, don't worry, it won't have any big impact. We just do what we have to do. Is it possible that they can drive you, me, and Kaecilius out of Kamar Taj?"
Hearing Lockhart's comfort, Morin felt a little better and said coldly, "If they dare. If something happens, I will go directly to the Sorcerer Supreme. Let's see what they do. They are allowed to sell potions, but we are not allowed to sell them. I'm not afraid of them in a fight, let alone Kaecilius. When the time comes, I'll call Kaecilius and beat three of them one by one, and there will be no problem."
Hearing Morin's words, Lockhart nodded helplessly. Given the almost inactive character of the Sorcerer Supreme, he might have looked at them and thought they were just children messing around. As long as no one was killed or things didn't get too big, Lockhart believed that the Sorcerer Supreme would do nothing.
However, as for finding Kaecilius to help, this is a very correct choice. Whether it is Kaecilius' strength or his influence, it is considered good in Kamar Taj. The most important thing is that the interests of the three are very close, and the actions of the other party will undoubtedly have an impact on the potion business of the three. Later, it depends on how to communicate with Kaecilius.
At this moment, Morin's expression calmed down. In fact, he calmed down early. Part of his anger just now was real, and the other part was also covering up his embarrassment. The people he invited raised their swords and prepared to divide themselves up. This was a desperate attempt to commit suicide.
Afterwards, the two parties discussed a few countermeasures and left now. People like David don't just talk, they don't hesitate when it's time to take action.
Vientiane Book Cafe, Study Room 101.
At this moment, Steve had been sitting on the chair with his eyes closed for an hour and a half. Although it took a long time, it was a piece of cake for him, who once lay motionless on the grass all night in order to kill the enemy. For him, as long as he can achieve his goal today, it doesn't matter if he does it another day, a week, or even a month.
After seeing scene after scene before his eyes not long ago, he had some confidence in what Coulson said. He hoped that this time, the goal could be successfully achieved and Peggy could regain her health and even regain her youth.
Thoughts flashed, Steve calmed down his inner thoughts and continued to close his eyes and wait. He still had some energy-raising skills.
After a while, suddenly with his keen sense, Steve turned his head and looked to the left. Then, a familiar red color and aperture appeared again. Then a figure passed through the aperture.
At the same time, a voice came from his ears.
"Captain Steve Rogers, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

Vientiane Book Cafe, Study Room 101.
Seeing the handsome blond man in front of him, Steve silently compared him to the photo Coulson had given him. A gentle smile appeared on his face: "Hello, are you Professor Lockhart?"
Lockhart looked at the man in front of him, who was slightly thin but exuded a dangerous aura. He replied, "Yes, I am Gilderoy Lockhart. Please take a seat, Captain." As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, and the empty teacup on the desk began to fill with tea.
When Steve saw this scene, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but after seeing Lockhart sit down opposite him, he slowly sat down.
"Hello, Captain. Can I call you Steve?" Lockhart asked gently. "How have you been in the past 70 years? Everyone thought you died in the war."
"Of course, Professor Lockhart," Steve nodded, then shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry, I just woke up recently, and I have no memory of the past 70 years."
Hearing this, Lockhart showed a pitying look. "Steve, the world has changed a lot in the past 70 years, and you have to experience it."
"Steve, I suggest you go online when you go back. Last time, I saw a very good website that recorded the history of the United States for more than 200 years and the changes in various fields in the past hundred years, including technology, finance, medicine, music, movies, etc. The field is introduced in great detail. It should be of great help to you."
As he spoke, Lockhart stretched out his wand and tapped it lightly. In an instant, a piece of paper with a website name appeared in front of Steve, then landed smoothly on the desk.
This URL was a website Lockhart had found before to verify the differences between the history of the Marvel world and the history he knew in his previous life. The introduction was very detailed, allowing Lockhart to understand the various events that had happened on Earth in the Marvel world over the past hundreds of years. The general context was the same, but many events and people had undergone considerable changes.
When Steve saw the website name in front of him, he took out a black notebook from his pocket and opened the latest page. He copied the URL and put the note in his notebook. He felt that if what Lockhart said was true, this website might be of great help to him. He felt very confused about modern electronic devices and various screens. Many people gave him suggestions, asking him to watch certain movies, news, or listen to music. He wrote it all down, but it felt very fragmented.
If he wanted to understand the system, it seemed that he still needed to enter the website provided by Lockhart. Well, the professor is indeed a professor, and the advice he gives is much more reliable than the advice given by ordinary people. In recent times, he had also done some research on so-called computers. At least, he could open web pages.
The copying time passed very quickly. In less than 10 seconds, Steve raised his head and said gratefully, "Thank you, Professor Lockhart."
Afterwards, Lockhart chatted for a few more words before returning to the topic. "By the way, Steve, I heard my student say before that you want a potion to restore human health or restore youth, right?"
"Yes, Professor Lockhart," Steve nodded heavily. "I heard from Coulson that I might be able to get help from you. I know you believe in equal exchange. If I can achieve my goal, I will try my best to meet your needs."
Hearing this, Lockhart was thoughtful. He had heard Vera talk about Steve's request before, but now that he thought about it carefully, he knew who the potion was for. Who else but Peggy Carter?
He had many magic potions to restore health, but restoring youth was difficult. There were magic potions, but for ordinary people, the magic power might blow them to pieces. The gap between ordinary people and wizards was really big. If they wanted to drink it, it would either need to be diluted or their physical fitness would need to be strengthened.
When he thought about physical fitness, seeing Captain Steve Rogers at this time, Lockhart thought of the Super Soldier Serum, which could really improve physical fitness. It's a pity that it was completely lost later. It seemed that only Steve successfully fused with it. No, there was also Hydra's Red Skull, but the side effects were quite significant. It seems Steve had something special about him.
Thoughts flashed, Lockhart said slowly, "Steve, I have heard about you, and I admire you very much. I will not deny you the rejuvenation potion. However, you must know that these potions are intended for use by wizards because wizards have the magic power to digest them, and ordinary people are more likely to explode and die after drinking them."
Hearing this, Steve's heart sank, then he listened again.
"As for the magic potion that restores health, this one is fine. However, there are still basic requirements for physical fitness. If the person is not fit enough, they might die from the energy explosion before the potion takes effect. After all, these potions were originally reserved for sorcerers, who can absorb them very well through magic power. Ordinary people can only absorb them instinctively based on their physical fitness."
Hearing this, Steve looked downcast. He felt that what Lockhart said was indeed logical.
Then, Lockhart asked gently, "Steve, can you tell me who is going to use the potion? Maybe I can provide some advice."
Steve thought for a while and said guiltily, "Professor Lockhart, I want to use it for my previous girlfriend, Peggy Carter. I left her waiting for me for 70 years while I was stuck in the ice, retaining my appearance. But for her, time has passed every minute, and she is now an old woman."
Hearing this, Lockhart nodded slowly, and then began to prepare for the show. "In this case, Ms. Carter is indeed old. If she wants to use potions, she can only use them by diluting them, and these must be adjusted according to her physical strength. If you are willing, you can bring Ms. Carter to me and I will make adjustments according to her physical condition. At the same time, the environment here will be more nurturing and more suitable for the elderly to live."
"Steve, what do you think?"
Steve was a little stunned. He was already ready to give up, but according to Professor Lockhart, there was still a chance. With his thoughts turning, Steve immediately said, "Okay, Professor Lockhart, I will bring Peggy here when I get back."
Hearing what Steve said, Lockhart nodded slightly, and then said slowly, "Yes, I have told you what I can do. Although I admire your past, according to my principles, whatever you get, you must give something. There are some things that I need your help with. To be precise, you and Ms. Carter's help. My students lack practical experience and may need your help in training. Also, Ms. Carter, as the founder of S.H.I.E.L.D., has rich organizational experience. I also want her to help train some of my students."
