Volume 2 The Basilisk is the Five Scumbags Chapter 27 Crystal's Christmas Wish
"Daphany, how about you take a look at this?" In the factory in a small town outside Birmingham, Fred, who had huge dark circles under his eyes, did not have any fatigue on his face, and even faintly excited.
After a learning progress, both the twins and Daphne's skills have grown to a certain extent. This time, the production line was expanded. A lot of new ideas have been derived. Some of them are very useful, and some of them have been tested and proven to be of little use for birds. However, in general, the efficiency of the production line has been improved.
"Looks good!" Daphany turned out to be something Fred handed over. It was a fist-sized spherical crystal with a blurry cloud of smoke inside. When Daphany took it, the smoke quickly turned into a miniature bird snake. The snake flew up and down in the crystal for a while, then turned into smoke and then turned into a black dragon.
"Well, the initial success!" Daphany smiled, then slammed the crystal into the ground. George and Fred on the side didn't show any surprise. And the next moment, as the crystal smashed to the ground, a cloud of black smoke spread, and a black dragon with fangs and claws appeared in front of the three of them. However, the three of Daphine did not have any intention of panicking or dodging, but Daphany frowned slightly.
"What? No sound? "Yes, the black dragon, despite its size, flying claws and even spitting flames, did not make any sound.
"Strange, there should be!" George stepped forward, his expression puzzled. Wand flicked. The black dragon turned into smoke again, then retracted. In the end, only the fist-sized crystal from before was left on the ground.
This is a new product developed by the twins after the salute cannonball. It's called the Phantom Ball. The demand for fireworks shells around the world is in short supply, forcing Daphany and the twins to run to the engineering transformation production line as soon as they have a holiday. It can be said that except for Hogwarts, orders from major wizarding schools around the world are about to bury the toy factory. There are orders from South America, North America, Australia and even Asia. Orders are especially large in Asia, and India's old magic families are all super tyrants, and their young children can be described as spending their own money!
According to the idea of the twins, they should sell the existing goods almost as much as possible and then start developing new products. But Daphany denied it. Now is the time for the toy factory to start the sign, and only by constantly launching new gadgets can we better maintain the brand popularity.
The twin brothers were persuaded by Daphany. So long before the holiday, the development of this phantom ball has begun.
This time, the development of the twins did not ask for help except for his friend Lee Jordan, first, for mystery. Second, there have been a series of attacks in the college, and the professors have been much stricter in investigating all kinds of violations of rules and disciplines. The twins are making money, but they don't want to hit the muzzle.
The Illusion Orb can create illusions based on the user's psyche, which is much more clever than a firework cannonball with a fixed effect. It is also a design that surpasses all similar products in the world. The clearer the user's imagination, the clearer it will be to create. During the experiment, the twins made a Snape out of the illusion ball, which was very vivid! Even the tone of speech is average!
The research and development was relatively smooth, and the results of all aspects of the handmade products were satisfactory. But when it came to puppet making, all sorts of problems began to arise. The image is not clear, the user's imagination cannot be fully felt, and then there is the situation in front of the person, and the illusion is only the picture and no sound.
After trying for a long time, I finally found the reason. Daphine stopped the twins who were about to change the puppet: "Alright, that's it for today!" Daphine doesn't have the same dark circles as the twins, but she also doesn't have the same strong enthusiasm for work as the twins: "It's Christmas the day after tomorrow, go home and rest!" If you don't have the energy on Christmas Day, you will be beaten much more viciously than expected! ”
Daphine's words caused the twins to think, and eventually the two agreed to Daphany's statement. Ride home on a broomstick and recharge your energy to save up for the holidays. Of course, it is estimated that you will not be able to run away if you get beaten first when you get home.
After securing the barrier around the factory, Daphany had Jingjing take her back to Letranche Manor.
Taliya hasn't come back yet, and her company is super busy. She herself was especially busy, and she didn't return until a few hours before Christmas Eve. Daphine didn't really care. Meimei made up for her sleep first, and she was also tired these days.
When Daphany gets up, Crystal is ready...... Well, dinner. Daphany looked at the authentic Peking duck on the bedside table with crepes and cucumber in sauce. I looked at the already dark sky outside, and my stomach growled.
Satisfied with the end of dinner, Daphany shouted, "Jingjing! ”
"Yes, Miss!" Jingjing immediately appeared beside her: "Are you going to clean up the dishes?" ”
"Yes, but there's something else!" Daphany nodded. Jingjing immediately stood there with her hands down, waiting for Daphine's instructions. Daphany thought for a moment and said, "I need to find one or two more elves, do you have a way?" ”
"Ahh Jingjing exclaimed, looking flustered: "Miss, you, don't you want Jingjing?" "Big eyes are about to shed tears.
"What nonsense!" Daphany gave her a blank look: "Again, find two more!" It's to add people, not to replace you! ”
"Oh, oh! Yes, miss. Jingjing, well, Jingjing can be found! Jingjing reacted, and hurriedly wiped away the tears and said, "But most of them are very young elves, and they may lack experience in serving the big family. ”
"It's okay, can you teach them. As long as loyalty is guaranteed! Daphine thought and said, as she looked at Jingjing: "Jingjing, you have to take on the work of a teacher, can you do it?" ”
Jingjing's eyes lit up suddenly, only those oldest and largest families would have elf instructors. Used to teach other house-elves. Jingjing heard Kreacher mention it. Before the Black family was destroyed by Voldemort, there were several house-elves in the manor. Kreacher's father was a teacher, and after his death, Kreacher became the new teacher, teaching the House Elves of the Black family. But...... Voldemort didn't like house-elves, and although he needed their services, he still didn't like them. As one of Voldemort's supporters, the house-elves of the Black family, in the end, only Kreacher remained.
Now, is Jingjing going to be a teacher? Jingjing was excited: "Yes, Miss, Jingjing can do it!" ”
Daphany wasn't in a hurry, but Jingjing's movements were fast. The next day, early in the morning before Christmas, Jingjing brought back two house-elves.
These were two scrawny house-elves, who looked very young, and looked at Daphany with some fear in their eyes.
"Ah...... Underage house-elves? "Daphine is a little blind, the magic fluctuations on the two elves are very weak, much worse than Jingjing. Daphne reckons that they can't do even basic cleansing magic.
"Yes...... Miss ......" Jingjing replied a little nervously: "Now, almost all the house-elves that no one hires are minors. They can't serve wizards, so wizard families aren't responsible for sheltering and keeping them...... You will not be admitted until you reach adulthood. So ......"
Daphne Mumu nodded, she was not very clear about the social composition of house-elves. Sounds really miserable. Baby house-elves don't live in the wizard family they were born into, but are thrown out to avoid excess consumption? Only adults will be admitted.
What the hell is this? How much can a house-elf eat? Taking Jingjing as an example, she can't clean up Daphany alone's leftovers. With the productivity of a magician, how would he care about this?
I couldn't figure it out, so Daphany didn't think about it anymore. Although the two baby elves still seem to have a hard time taking on any big responsibilities. However, it should be no problem to clean the room. Daphine is a lady and doesn't care about this consumption. I don't care about the rules of the wizarding world.
"I see, I'll leave these two little ones to you. Teach as soon as possible! Daphany nodded, acknowledging Jingjing's actions.
"Miss, I still need to sign a contract for them~" Jingjing said weakly: "Elves who have not signed a contract can't use magic." ”
"Contract?" Daphany looked confused, is there such a thing?
"Yes, Miss!" Jingjing nodded: "A contract that only pure-blood families with magical manor contracts have. Elves can only use magic and serve the magician's family if they have signed this contract. ”
"So, how is this contract signed?" Daphany continued to be confused, the Lestranzi family is naturally a pure-blood family, and from the point of being able to own Jingjing, there must be some kind of magic manor contract, right?
"That's right, Miss! In the master's study, there is a manor deed on the shelf. Only by using that contract can you sign a contract with an elf. Jingjing explained.
"Sounds like a bit of a hassle!" Daphne scratched her head, Yuan didn't know that there were so many doors: "Okay, Jingjing, you go and get the contract." ”
"Hmm...... No, Miss ......" Jingjing said nervously: "The master's study is a contract forbidden place of the manor, and no one outside the direct bloodline is allowed to enter. The elves are even more inaccessible. Moreover, even if they could enter, the elves could not touch the manor contract. ”
"Trouble...... "Daphany pouted, if she had known that it was so troublesome, she might not have done it for the time being. But now that Jingjing has already brought the elves back......
Daphany got up and walked to her cheap daddy, Rodolphus Lestrange's study.
Looking at the figure of Daphany leaving, Jingjing's eyes were full of fighting spirit: Miss wants to cultivate herself and become a teacher herself! You have to work very hard! Become a qualified teacher as soon as possible!
Christmas is just a few hours away! Jingjing looks at the magic wall clock on the wall: this year's Christmas wish - become a qualified elf teacher!
