Chapter 682 - Smooth Plan (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)

It took more than ten minutes for Ryan to finally count and deliver the magic items he had brought before. There are many types of magic items in this batch, and in addition to the ones that were previously used for magic defense, there are some new offensive items this time.

"What is this?" George pulled out a slender velvet-covered box from the space bag, then opened it and took out the contents. "It looks a bit like a wand. ”

"Stop. Ryan quickly stepped forward and took the wand off, and looked up at George after putting it back in the box. "Please, you'd better ask me if you see a magic item you haven't seen in the future, otherwise you might really hurt yourself. ”

"You mean it's not just an ordinary wand?" asked George, looking at the little blue box that Ryan was now holding in his hand. "Is it similar to the fake wand I sold with Fred earlier?"

"It's kind of like, but it's not the same thing. Ryan said as he pulled out a wand from another pouch in his arms, which had been used as a test subject. At this time, George realized that although this wand looked like an ordinary wand on the outside, it looked much more gorgeous than an ordinary wand. The surface is inlaid with a number of mysterious patterns composed of silver silk threads and small crystals.

"It does look a lot prettier than a regular wand. George commented. "But while many people need wands at this time, I don't think this flashy, pure-blood-style wand would be welcomed by hemp wizards who have lost their wands. And I don't see anything special about this wand. ”

"Hahaha-" Hermione couldn't help but laugh as she looked at George's solemn comment on the wand in front of her, and when the laughter had stopped for a while, she said to George. "I didn't expect this thing to be able to hide from your observations, but in fact this wand is a consumable item that can automatically cast magic. ”

"Do you do magic automatically?" said George, his mouth wide in surprise. "All I know is that some magic items can automatically release magic when they need to be used, but I've never heard of a wand that can automatically release magic. ”

"To be precise, this should be a cut version of a semi-automatic wand, as it doesn't require a spell to be cast, but it still requires the user to mentally lock on to the target of the spell. Other than that, it can only use one type of magic. Ryan shrugged his shoulders, "I have to say that the real autocaster is made. It's so difficult, and even if it does, almost no one can afford it. ”

"Even so, this wand is powerful. George looked at the wand in Ryan's hand in awe. "What surprises me the most is that you're still able to mass-produce this thing-"

"Alright, now let's try this wand. Ryan saw that George seemed to be about to start praising the wand and quickly interrupted George, "I need to demonstrate to you the power of this wand first, so that you can introduce it to those who need it." And develop a suitable way to use it. ”

"Fire. Once in the courtyard, Ryan raised his wand and aimed at a stone in the middle of the courtyard, and instantly shot a missile of magical energy from the head of the wand, and then exploded a baseball-sized crater on the stone.

"Pure magical energy?" After a few minutes of learning, George imitated Ryan using the wand to make a hole of the same size in the stone, and then he took the wand and looked at it carefully.

"It's not very aggressive, but it can be very effective in wizard battles. Especially after using pure magical energy, it can effectively kill and destroy most of the current magical defense methods. All in all, this is a great magic item to use in battle. ”

"How much do you think this thing is appropriately priced?" Ryan asked, after briefly explaining the features of this thing. In fact, this wand is a modified version of the arcane missile wand, and after obtaining this technology from Silvermoon City on his last trip, Ryan has tried to restore a series of magic techniques from Silvermoon City.

However, in the case of different world backgrounds, technical restoration is a very complicated process, not to mention that the magic level of that world was much higher than that of this world last time.

As a result, after so much research, the Arcane Missile Wand, which was not very complicated in that world, became the first magic item of all the technologies acquired in that world to be mass-produced from indigenous raw materials, and compared to the original, the wand made here was not much different from its prototype.

"For the price, each wand has 20 mana stored in it. When the wand is used up, it will be scrapped. You tell me it costs around 12 Galleons. George tapped his finger on his chin, "I think it's a good price of 30 Galleons, because you're underestimating the complexity of making such a magic prop." However, I think the exact pricing will have to wait until Fred comes back. ”

"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry anyway. Ryan shook his hand and asked George, indicating that he was not rushing him on the matter. "By the way, why are you the only one left in the store, where did Fred and Penelope go?"

"Penelope went to the werewolf's planting base in Northern Europe today to buy the goods. "Because the sale of magic items has almost wiped out our inventory, and the workshop on the other side of town now needs more raw materials to maintain production. ”

"As for Fred, he's gone to Hogwarts today to find Hagrid. You know, Hagrid often finds good things in the Forbidden Forest, and after consulting with Dumbledore and Hagrid, we can now get some materials from Hagrid every once in a while that are more difficult to get elsewhere. Seriously, I hope they come back soon, it's too tiring to work alone in the store now, even if it's just for a morning. ”

"I see. Ryan nodded, there were far fewer people in the Weasley Joke Store now than there used to be. Most of the former clerks are now working in the new Ministry of Magic.

Because Ryan recruited a large number of hemp wizards for their big plan and trained them, at that time, they only did this to improve the overall level of hemp wizards, so that they could have the ability to fight for their due rights when the time came in the future.

But what Ryan didn't expect was that this opportunity would come so quickly, and he didn't expect that there were so many people in the wizarding world who opposed the establishment of a new order after the end of the last war, and always looked forward to destroying the existing order and returning to the state of the past.

This also led to the fact that while Professor Dumbledore was still alive, Voldemort was able to seize the only opportunity that Dumbledore could not get out of, and with the cooperation of the previous group of opponents, he took down the Ministry of Magic and achieved a certain advantage. And for many reasons, Headmaster Dumbledore simply could not retake the Ministry of Magic in a short period of time, and the war became protracted and protracted.

Under such circumstances, the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic was formed. Because a large number of pure-blood faction wizards chose to side with the Ministry of Magic in London, resulting in an extreme shortage of personnel, the Ministry of Magic recruited a large number of personnel after it stabilized. And this just gave Ryan a chance to get started, a chance to get more hemp wizards to get better jobs, and then get the status and voice they deserve.

Not surprisingly, after several years of training in the joke shop, almost all of these hemp wizards successfully passed the exam and were recruited by magic. This is naturally a good thing for Ryan, but there are a lot fewer people in the corresponding joke shop. Fortunately, after the outbreak of the war, the main business of the joke shop turned to the production of magic items related to the war, and the shop in Diagon Alley was closed at the same time. That's what makes the store barely operational.

However, the lack of staff is still a problem, and although some new recruits are recruited from those who have escaped, this lack of personnel will continue to cause the store to run poorly for some time until these new recruits are trained.

"Well, then, we won't bother you. Finally, after asking George to help gather materials for wand making, Ryan and the others quickly took their leave. And George only waved his hand and began the work of refining white fresh essential oil.
