Chapter 479: Fake Hand (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Collections, Asking for Tickets)
Ryan was immediately relieved after hearing Lupin spit out that name, there are not many people who can kill innocents indiscriminately for the sake of their own power, and the profit-hungry Umbridge is definitely one of them. Naturally, she was bitten by werewolves and was also to blame, and the werewolves should be regarded as legitimate defense.
However, in view of the general discrimination against werewolves in the wizarding world, Ryan still asked how the matter was handled, and Lupin told Ryan that all traces of the local area had been erased, but he found it strange that he had not heard of anyone reporting the werewolf bite to his superiors today.
"Just be a little more vigilant, Umbridge won't tell me about her werewolf bite. Ryan comforted Lupin, "She will even do everything possible to hide this matter to avoid threatening her future." ”
Ryan then earnestly explains to Lupin what the wizard had done at school, and that it would be cruel for this political creature to keep them away from politics than to kill them. In this case, for the sake of his future in the Ministry of Magic, Umbridge would not tell anyone about the attack of a werewolf, let alone investigate the matter.
"Well, no wonder I've heard someone say that Umbridge locked herself in her room today and didn't allow anyone to enter. But he didn't say anything about what happened to him, he just said that he was fine. Lupin came to a conclusion after recalling what he had heard from his visit to the wizards' gathering place in Norway today.
As Ryan had predicted, when Lupin sent another werewolf a week later, he told Ryan Umbridge that he had survived the attack of three Death Eaters, and that the wounds on his body were from the Dark Arts. Ryan expressed his disdain for this kind of swollen face and fat man's practice, but thinking that this meant that she would not continue to publicly track down the werewolf attack, Lupin and the others were safe, and it was good that the matter ended like this.
Unexpectedly, after another werewolf turns into a new werewolf, Lupin discovers that there is a faint connection between the werewolves who have turned into wolf shapes, and can even send some very short messages. Ryan felt that it was probably a remnant of telepathy that he had previously thought was impossible to use in this world, but it was a good thing for them that the werewolves would be able to exert the cluster effect of the wolf pack. So he simply didn't bother with it.
Over the next period of time, Ryan began to fulfill his promise to make a prosthetic hand for Sirius. The raw material of the prosthetic hand is one of the best wood that Ryan got from the elves in the world of The Lord of the Rings, which, according to Legolas, is the wreck of the swan boat that the elves rode in the past, and some people have collected some of it and have survived to this day.
After getting this piece of wood, which was only half a small arm about the same length and thickness, Ryan first combined the Yanshi puppet technique and the production technology of the Rose Maiden obtained in the Celestial Empire this time to design a prosthetic hand, and after repeated deletions, designs, and even experiments. Ryan began the production of the prosthetic hand.
He first broke down the piece of wood into large and small parts according to the previous design, and in order to ensure that the materials could be used to the fullest, Ryan even went to the world of "Twilight" and asked the Cullen family to contact some design departments to minimize the waste of raw materials through computer-aided design.
Professional things really have to be left to professionals, and it only took half a day for the other party to calculate the best way to use these materials. Ryan dismantled the piece of wood through the alchemy array according to this plan, and sure enough, there was very little waste left.
This was followed by a series of enchantments, and Ryan specifically used Mithril as the base material for the magic circle. And it is inlaid with a lot of gems bought from the dwarves of the lonely mountain as energy storage devices.
Three hours later, a plain-looking wooden prosthetic hand appeared on the alchemy array. This wooden prosthetic hand not only has all the functions of a normal human hand, but can also be used as a magic wand. In addition to this, it also has the magical defense power of the Gold Defense Ring. Even when an enemy is in close proximity, it can transform into a short sword and be used to engage enemies in hand-to-hand combat. As an alchemy prop refined by Ryan's heart, even if the body of the prosthetic hand is made of wood, the shortsword is no less tough than the shortsword of Valyrian steel, and it also has extremely strong penetration of magical barriers.
In short, this is a fine alchemy product. It's also a kind of summary of Lane's new knowledge that has been gained recently.
Once the things were ready, Ryan received an invitation letter from Lupin's Weasley family to him and Hermione, inviting them to visit her house over the weekend. In addition to Ryan and Hermione, Mrs. Weasley invited Sirius and his girlfriend.
"Mrs. Weasley understands that you have been lost since your return from the Celestial Empire, after all, this is a time of war. It is necessary for you to remain vigilant. After seeing off a new werewolf who had finished his treatment on Saturday, Lupin stayed for dinner. "Mrs. Weasley often invites friends to her house for dinner during the holidays," he said to Lane at the dinner table, and that place did feel like home. As the mother of your friend, she cares a lot about the two of you who are not around your family. ”
"Really thank her. Lane's words of gratitude are sincere, when his husband and children are on the battlefield and risking his life, a person who can bear so much psychological pressure and care about others at the same time is definitely worthy of the respect of others.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Ryan and his wife dressed up and began to wait in the living room, and after about ten minutes Sirius appeared at the door of the manor with Merrym Straw.
Ryan was delighted to see Sirius, and hugged Sirius with open arms at the same time. The two ladies watched with a smile on the side. Since Ryan enlightened him last summer, the relationship between the two has become closer. The two of them had been in constant contact with each other in the last semester, and Ryan had learned a lot of useful tips and lessons from Sirius. For example, many of his previous knowledge of famous Death Eaters came from Sirius's introduction.
After a few pleasantries, Ryan took out the prosthetic hand and handed it to Sirius. "Give it a try, what I promised you on the platform a month ago is ready. ”
"Is this?" Sirius took the hand in surprise, "You made it? It's incredible, it's a work of art, what should I do with it?"
"Just put it on the broken left hand, at least better than the one you use now. Ryan looked at Sirius's prosthetic hand with some disdain. The prosthetic hand was made of steel, gilded with a layer of gold, and had shafts and hinges on it that allowed the prosthetic hand to move its fingers and wrists in the same way as a normal hand under the influence of magic.
The entire steel prosthetic hand is tied to Sirius' forearm with several belts, and it looks full of steampunk roughness, which in Ryan's eyes is simply the best of the best. Sirius, however, doesn't see it that way.
"Don't look down on this prosthetic hand, it cost me more than five hundred Galleons to get it from a magician craftsman. That's where Moody's fake eye was bought. If anything, this is one of the best magic prosthetics in Europe. Sirius unfastened the belt around his forearm and threw the prosthetic hand on the coffee table with a thud, before replacing it with the prosthetic hand that Ryan had given him.
No sooner had Ryan's prosthetic hand been attached to his forearm, Sirius's eyes widened sharply, and he placed his entire left arm in front of him. In his incredulous eyes, the fingers of the wooden prosthetic hand clenched into a fist, and then spread the fingers one by one. "You're right, that thing is rubbish. ”
In Sirius's perception, the feeling of emptiness after losing his left hand was completely gone. He felt that the new prosthetic hand gave him the same feeling as if his broken left hand had grown again, instead of the strong diaphragm he had given him with the previous prosthetic hand.
Under Ryan's guidance, Sirius learned to cast spells with this prosthetic hand, as well as to change the shape of the prosthetic hand. After playing like a child with a new toy for a while, Sirius quieted down, and then thanked Ryan very solemnly.
"Thank you really, so much. Sirius clasped Ryan's right hand tightly in both hands. "I seem to have quite a few books on alchemy at home, and when I get them all sorted out and give them to you, I think they will be better in your hands than on the bookshelf. ”
