Chapter 232: Don't Underestimate the Power of Technology (10,000 Words Chapter)

Aside from the two involved, no one knew exactly what was going on in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

But when Rita Skeeter came out of it, she no longer had the arrogant and aggressive posture she had before, but was docile like a dog tamed by her owner.

Whether it is the attitude or tone of speech, there has been a 180-degree turn.

Not only that, but she also touted Zuo Si as much as she could, and said that she would definitely write a feature report when she returned, so that wizards all over the world would know that there was such a genius at Hogwarts who was destined to lead a new era.

Obviously, this sudden change made other peers very uncomfortable.

Especially the reporter from "Wizarding Weekly" knows this colleague's style and way of doing things better than others, and he doesn't understand whether the other party is broken by the door, or whether there are some forces or families behind Zuo Si that can't be provoked, so he will show a completely different appearance from usual.

But before the middle-aged man could open his mouth to test, Rita Skeeter hurriedly took her leave and left Hogwarts as if she were running for her life.

Because every time she saw Zuo Si's black eyes, she would immediately recall the intense pain caused by the Heart Drilling Spell acting on her.

Even though it's just an illusion, it feels very real.

You don't need to ask to know that Rita Skeeter has inevitably developed persistent phantom pain under the torture of the half-hour Diamond Heart Curse.

I just don't know if this situation is a momentary stress reaction, or a dream demon that will accompany her for the rest of her life.

However, for this kind of-stirring stick that spreads rumors, smears, and fabricates fake news to mislead the people all day long, Zuo Si will not have the slightest mercy and mercy at all.

If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't easy to start at Hogwarts, he would even use Rita Skeeter to test the three unforgivable spells that he had just learned, rather than just a Drill Heart Charm.

In fact, learning the three unforgivable spells and black magic is not as difficult as you think.

Except for the books that made Horcruxes, which were later taken away by Dumbledore and hidden, the rest of the spells and materials could be found in the forbidden section of the Hogwarts Library, and even many older students were able to master one or two.

It's just that most of the time it doesn't take it lightly.

"What did you do to Rita Skeeter?" Dumbledore asked meaningfully.

"It's nothing, I just gave her a little warning." Zuo Si replied lightly.

Dumbledore obviously didn't expect that this "little warning" was actually torturing a person with a Diamond Heart Curse for half an hour, and thought it was just a threat, intimidation and other means, so he immediately shook his head with a smile and sighed: "You are really young and vigorous." But promise me, don't do it next time. You must know that it may not be enough to use this method once or twice, but there will always be problems if you use it too much. Once labeled as a dark wizard, it's hard to take it off. ”

But Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders disapprenorantly: "It doesn't matter, I don't care." Compared to these trivial trivialities, when are you going to deal with the possessed Professor Quirrell? You know, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class he's taking now is a disaster, and it's a waste of all the students' time. ”

"Oh? How do you know that Professor Quirrell is possessed? Dumbledore looked surprised.

He thought it was a well-kept secret, at least not to the students except for a few professors.

"The smell of decay, curse, weakness, and pain that emanates from my soul can be smelled even from a few dozen meters away." Zuo Si gave a straightforward answer.

With divine powers and the energy that has been transformed from them, identifying Voldemort's devastated soul is as easy as eating and drinking.

Because he has torn his own soul more than once to create a Horcrux, this guy's soul is simply inferior to that of a newborn baby, or a remnant soul torn apart by necromantic magic.

Probably because of this, Voldemort longed for eternal life no matter what.

Because once he dies, with his soul state, he may not even be able to cross the boundary between the world of the living and the dead.

"Have you read that book about souls?"

Dumbledore seemed to realize something, and his face suddenly turned serious.

"That's right!"

Zuo Si nodded unabashedly.

"In my opinion, there is nothing more stupid than creating Horcruxes to achieve the purpose of immortality.

For a person, the soul is the most special and important thing, and even life cannot be compared to it.

But a second-rate wizard tore his soul to pieces for a so-called eternal life, which was completely like losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds. ”

"What would you do if it were you?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes tentatively.

"There are many ways to do this.

For example, through magic, he fundamentally transforms himself into an immortal race;

Or delve into the unique form of ghosts, and then give up the body to live forever as a pure soul;

No matter how bad it is, you can use alchemy items such as magic stones to forcibly slow down the rate of decay of the flesh.

In short, there are many ways to escape death, but creating a Horcrux is undoubtedly the most serious one.

What's more, each split Horcrux is equivalent to an independent personality, how can you guarantee that it will be yourself when it wakes up? ”

Zuo Si contemptuously proposed a paradox.

As we all know, a person's "personality" is composed of a series of innumerable memories, genes, hormones, and a series of complex things.

Therefore, if a person "backs up" his current state and then "reads" after a sudden death after a period of time, he will inevitably lose this part of his memory that is not "saved".

When the "backup" is resurrected, will this person still be the same person?

At least in Zuo Si's opinion, the person before was dead, and all that remained was a clone or replicant who had inherited most of this person's memories.

Unless you can create a soulless body like [Static Cloning], and then after your body is destroyed, the soul will be directly reborn with all the memories and back up your body, which can be regarded as resurrection and immortality in the true sense.

"What do you mean...... Every time that person dies, there will inevitably be subtle changes from the original personality? ”

Dumbledore's eyes lit up slightly, clearly amazed by the novelty of the theory.

If this inference is correct, then Tom Riddle's Horcruxes are not as terrifying as he thought.

The reason is simple!

Because the Split Soul Fragments have not experienced defeat firsthand, they will never learn their lessons, and will still retain that megalomaniacal character flaw.

Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "I don't know." I haven't met Voldemort himself, and I don't know his current state or thoughts.

But one thing is for sure, and that is that he has nothing to praise other than his prowess in spells and magic.

Whether it is the pattern or the vision, it is narrow and terrifying, just like a paranoid madman with a dangerous weapon, and there is no reason in his head at all. ”

According to the division of the Pheren camp, Voldemort is undoubtedly an out-and-out chaotic evil.

He may be really smart, good at scheming and calculating, but his freewheeling personality means that he will never be able to follow the plan that has been made.

Maybe when the temper comes up, there will be a little moth.

"What do you think I should do with Professor Quirrell and the remnants attached to him?" Dumbledore asked, taking off his glasses and rubbing his dry eyes.

"Don't you already have a plan?

For example, to cultivate the wisdom, courage and courage of the savior and his companions, and also set up one adventure game after another for this purpose.

To be honest, I had never heard of a school teacher who could be biased to such an extent before entering Hogwarts.

Whether it's you or Professor Snape, you've turned the so-called House Cup, full of honor, into a huge joke and black humor. ”

2k

Zuo Si expressed his opinion neatly and neatly, and made no secret of his disdain for this kind of behavior.

Dumbledore smiled wryly and sighed, not intending to explain, only responding in a slightly low tone, "We have no choice but to do this. You see, Harry has an extremely important mission, and it is a mission that only he can accomplish, so he has to be tested more than the other students. ”

"So to sacrifice the all-important fairness of a magic school for the greater good?

If you, as the rule-maker and the enforcer, don't follow it.

So how long do you think these rules will last?

Dear Principal, don't think that you are the only smart person in the world, and don't think that the students in the school are idiots.

Believe me, anyone who tries to play with the rules will inevitably end up being eaten by the rules.

Finally, thank you for recommending my notes to the International Confederation of Wizards and Wizengamot. ”

After saying this, Zuo Si touched his chest with one hand and bowed slightly, and then turned around and left without looking back.

After his figure disappeared at the end of the hallway, Dumbledore raised his head and asked Nicol Lemay, who was standing by without saying a word, "How, my old friend, what do you think of him?" ”

"As a wizard, Soth's performance is perfect, and it can even be said that he has all the qualities necessary to become a great wizard.

For example, intelligence beyond the ordinary, the most powerful magical talent I've seen so far, as well as a unique way of thinking, and an independent will that will never go along with others.

If he really has the blood of the Dumbledore family in his veins, then the future must be limitless. ”

Nicol Lemay excitedly gave a very high evaluation.

Exactly, he couldn't remember the last time he was so excited, and he thought that this unwavering state of mind would continue until the end of his life.

"And what about his character? Don't you feel like you're acting too cold a lot of the time? Didn't even make many friends at school. Dumbledore prompted.

But Nicol Lemay smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't think so at all.

Because Soth's indifference stems from his superior intelligence and reason.

After all, you can't force a genius with an adult wizard who is no different from an adult, or even surpasses most people, to behave like an ordinary eleven-year-old.

If that's the case, be extra careful. ”

"I see what you mean. That's how Tom Riddle successfully deceived most of the professors in the school. By the way, did Soth ask you about the Philosopher's Stone? Dumbledore asked bluntly.

"No, we just exchanged some experiences about alchemy. In fact, he's already guessed the truth about how I can make a Philosopher's Stone, and if I want to, I should be able to make my own Philosopher's Stone in a few more years. ”

As he said this, Nicol Lemay's eyes gleamed with a strange light.

As one of the top alchemists of his time, he naturally hoped that the art of making the Philosopher's Stone would continue after his death.

Unfortunately, several of the disciples Nicol Lemay has taught are not gifted enough to understand the intricacies of the Philosopher's Stone.

But the appearance of Zuo Si made him realize that this was the only person who could really pass on the magic stone manufacturing technology.

"You gave him your alchemy notes?!" Dumbledore raised an eyebrow in disbelief.

Nicol Lemay replied very simply, "Yes, I gave my alchemy notes as a gift to Soth. Because I believe that one day he will surpass you and me and become the pride of heaven who will lead the next era. ”

"Aren't you worried that he'll become the next Dark Lord?"

"No, it won't. Don't forget the approval he showed when talking about the rapid growth of the Muggle world in the last two or three hundred years. I don't think such a person would end up being as hostile to the Muggle world as Tom and Gellert did. So let go of your unnecessary worries. Nicol Lemay persuaded earnestly.

He knew too well how much of a psychological shadow Voldemort's affair had caused to his friend, so much so that whenever he saw a clever and gifted little wizard, he couldn't help but raise his vigilance.

"Well, I hope you're right."

Dumbledore didn't argue too much on the subject, but he didn't give up his guard easily.

In the eyes of the greatest wizard of our time, Zuo Si is still a "dangerous person" who needs more attention.

However, he was fortunate that Zuosi was at least quite close to Hermione Granger, and did not completely treat the people around him as subordinates and tools to use like Voldemort.

……

Two days later, when the latest issues of Daily Prophet and Wizarding Weekly were delivered to Hogwarts via an owl.

The students of the entire school were shocked and admired, and their eyes turned to Zuo Si, who was sitting alone in the corner forever and fiddling with something.

Because on the front page of both influential media in the wizarding world, there is a photo of his event, as well as a lot of praise from authoritative institutions and well-known wizards.

In particular, Rita Skeeter's essay continues her usual exaggerated style, almost touting Zuo Si as a rising star in the wizarding world, destined to leave a strong mark on the history of wizards.

Some of these meaty words are simply disgusting.

Of course, for those young wizards who spend their days thinking about how to stand out among their classmates, such praise is just the right thing to stir up in their hearts.

If it weren't for Zuo Si's usual appearance that no one would enter, it is estimated that he would have been surrounded by the inner three floors and the outer three floors.

"Merlin Order of the Second Degree! The 10,000 Galleon prize from the International Confederation of Wizards, the 10,000 Galleon from the Wizengamot, and the 5,000 Galleon from the British Ministry of Magic. Merlin's beard! This...... That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

Ron took the Daily Prophet in his hand and exclaimed in an envious tone.

Whether it is a medal or a total of 25,000 gold galleons, it is something that he desires with an extremely low self-esteem in his heart.

Not to mention the fame and accolades that come with it.

"Don't forget the share that you get when the book is published. According to the newspaper, the Ministry of Magic and the magic schools of several countries have said that they will make the scroll-making technology invented by Soth a compulsory subject. This income alone would be considerable. Harry whispered a reminder.

"Well, if only I could get such a sum of money, not much, just a few hundred gold gallons." Ron muttered.

Hermione, who was sitting next to her reviewing her homework, rolled her eyes angrily when she heard it: "Don't daydream. If you can take a little time out of your play, you won't even have to copy other people's homework. ”

"Damn! Can't you help but dampen my hopes for a better future? Ron slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage.

"You don't call it a hope for the future, but an unrealistic delusion. Because from the beginning to the end, you haven't put in even the slightest effort, how can you reap the rewards? Forget it, it's a waste of time to talk to you about this. ”

With that, Hermione cast a disappointed look at the silly boy, then picked up the book and textbook and walked towards the library.

Looking at her back as she faded away, Ron only felt very unhappy, and immediately gritted his teeth and complained, "Granger is such a nasty guy." I really don't understand how Soth can stand her. You know, she's in Gryffindor, and she doesn't even have a decent friend. ”

"Soth doesn't have any friends in Slytherin either. I think smart people like them may have higher requirements for their friends. Harry spread his hands tiredly.

It can be seen that the Quidditch training in the last two nights has really tormented him.

Flight training, in particular, is very physically demanding.

You even need to eat more snacks and snacks before going to bed to satisfy your always hungry appetite.

"Forget it, don't talk about them. How has your training been lately? ”

When it comes to Quidditch, Ron gets incredibly excited.

After all, the fact that his best friend was promoted to Seeker in the first year gave him a lot of capital to show off to his students.

Harry replied with a smile, "Wood said I'm very talented, and this year's Quidditch trophy will have our names engraved on it." ”

"Awesome! I can't wait to see this year's competition from Gryffindor House. ”

"Hehe, I'm actually looking forward to the day I'll be able to play."

"I bet Malfoy will go crazy with jealousy."

"In fact, he's going crazy now. This guy must have guessed how I won the last midnight duel. ”

"Hahahaha! But the problem is that he doesn't have the evidence to prove it, does he? ”

"That's right! I love seeing Malfoy with a stinking face all day long. ”

……

While Harry and Ron were whispering together, a man and a woman had already made their way through the crowd and came straight to Zuo Si under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

"Hello, my name is Penelope Crivat, and I'm the prefect of Ravenclaw."

"My name is Percy, and I'm the prefect of Gryffindor."

The two made a brief introduction to themselves almost at the same time.

"What's the matter?" Zuo Si asked expressionlessly.

"That's right. We've read about your invention of making magic scrolls in the Daily Prophet, so I'd like to ask you to take time out of school to mentor some of the older students who are interested in this area. ”

Percy was straightforward and said the idea he had come up with for two days.

In his opinion, the other party should not refuse this kind of invitation to establish prestige and gain power in the school.

But Zuo Si didn't even move his eyelids, so he refused bluntly: "I'm sorry, my time is precious, and I don't have time to waste it on such meaningless and boring things."

What's more, you want to get knowledge from me without paying any price......

Should I praise you for being too clever or too stupid?

Or do you have ulterior motives in the first place, and intend to use this as an excuse to get close? ”

Moment!

Percy, who was confident one second, turned red the next, and his eyes revealed anger and chagrin.

He never dreamed that Zuo Si would be so faceless.

Especially the pair of black children's holes, as if they had seen through themselves.

"Don't you want to be popular in school?"

Penelope Crivat had a puzzled and puzzled look on his face.

The Ravenclaw prefect had thought that Zuo Si, who had been isolated and ostracized in Slytherin, would be even more eager for a small group that would accept him.

"No, no interest. Like the Slytherin idiots, no matter how much they despise, isolated, ostracized, or fearful, it doesn't matter to me in the slightest. So please put away those careful thoughts and stay away, and don't bother me again in the future. Got it? ”

When he said this, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light, and his body, which did not look strong, revealed a sense of oppression that words could not describe, which immediately made Penelo Crivat and Percy, who thought they were smart, flee.

The two teenage boys and girls had no idea that he had only used Hogwarts as a springboard to the wizarding world from the beginning, and that he had no intention of recruiting henchmen in the school like Voldemort did.

Therefore, this kind of camaraderie between students is not attractive to him in the slightest.

"You shouldn't use insulting words to describe your classmates in your own college."

Bloody Barrow suddenly emerged from under the table, his tone intensely reproachful.

If it were another student, I was afraid that Cheng would be frightened by his face and tone.

But Zuo Si responded very contemptuously: "What, has it stimulated your poor self-esteem and sense of belonging to Slytherin House again?"

Even Salazar Slytherin I wouldn't take my assessment back.

The era of pureblood is gone, and no one can stop the tide of history.

Or rather, the pure-blood theory never became mainstream in the wizarding world from the beginning.

Because half-blood wizards will always be the largest group of people.

I can guarantee that all the so-called pure-blood families in the wizarding world of Europe can find Muggle-born ancestors in the past year. ”

"But you can't deny the excellence of purebloods. Because the talent and power of wizards are inherited through blood, this is a fact that no one can change. Bloody Barrow argued.

It is not difficult to see from the tone and attitude of the conversation that this is not the first time the two of them have communicated.

"So you think the power of the bloodline cannot be replaced?"

Zuo Si looked at this ghost as if he were looking at a frog at the bottom of a well.

"Isn't it?" Bloody Barrow asked rhetorically.

"Of course not. Have you ever heard of genes?

Ever heard of IVF in the Muggle world?

Ever heard of cloning?

In the study of the realm of life, Muggles have long since surpassed the wizarding world.

On the premise of abandoning ethics and morality, as long as some male or female genetic material is provided, they can even create small children with the potential to become wizards in batches.

Even within a few hundred years, the planet beneath your feet could be turned into a world where everyone is a wizard.

So don't underestimate the power of technology.

Muggles are no longer at the mercy of wizards as they were hundreds of years ago, but are becoming more and more powerful, and sooner or later they will be aware of the existence of wizards and the wizarding world.

At that point, it wasn't just a Muggle banishment charm. ”

Zuo Si bluntly said a cruel truth that was enough to make the wizarding world feel fear and despair.

In the eyes of many wizards, secrecy and Muggle protection were meant to limit the power of wizards, thus protecting the Muggle world from dark wizards and all kinds of magical objects.

But in reality?

In fact, they are protecting themselves!

With the major breakthroughs in genetic research in the seventies and eighties, and the emergence of cloned animals one after another, the Muggle world has gained an overwhelming advantage in the field of biotechnology.

Once they discover the secrets of the wizarding world and wizards, they will 100% catch one or two and put them in a small dark room to study them.

With the madness of the two superpowers in the field of scientific research during the Cold War, not to mention the offspring between people, even humans and beasts can arrange for you.

How will the decision-makers at the top of the two superpowers react when they realize that these wizards have the ability to control and cleanse the minds and memories of others, and can easily storm the most heavily defended places to steal intelligence, or even assassinate world leaders and trigger a nuclear war that could destroy civilizations?

I'm scared to death!

Dominated by intense fears, they are bound to engage in many radical acts.

For example, through artificial insemination, children with the potential to become witches are mass-produced, and then these children are centrally managed and brainwashed.

Immediately after that, through various means, one of them was sent to the wizarding world as spies to be educated.

When they return, they will teach what they have learned from school to the rest of the children who have the talent to become wizards.

When more than a decade has passed, and the two superpowers have more wizards in their hands than the entire wizarding world, they will not hesitate to choose to go to war and completely wipe out this uncontrolled force.

In Zuosi's view, the only chance wizards could take control of the Muggle world was the revolution that Gellert Grindelwald had set in motion during World War I and World War II.

It's a pity that it was destroyed by Dumbledore in the end.

"What? Muggles have the ability to produce wizards in large quantities? How is this possible! ”

Bloody Barrow instantly felt that his three views had been completely subverted.

"Nothing is impossible.

The world is always moving forward, and it is an act of arrogance to look at the technology that Muggles have mastered today in the same way that they were hundreds of years ago.

Even more tragic is that the entire wizarding world is now pervasive with such a prejudice.

By the same token, the rules set by the four founders of Hogwarts are no longer so appropriate today.

If you look at the relationship between Gryffindor House and Slytherin House, it has long since evolved from a simple competition between students to a kind of antagonism, hostility and hatred, and it has also extended from the school to the social level.

Almost 90 percent of the students who graduated from Gryffindor House did not like the students who graduated from Slytherin.

Leave aside the conflicts that erupted in schools.

But even when they enter the job after graduation, they will stumble on each other and find trouble.

And this grudge will become more and more as time goes on, and eventually it will inevitably affect the child.

For example, the Wesley family has always been at odds with the Malfoy family, and even the children, including Ron, have considered Slytherin a bad place to train dark wizards from the beginning.

Draco, in turn, was influenced by his father, who believed that the Wesleys were traitors to a group of poor ghosts and pure-blood families.

Isn't it enough to ask if a magic school has become a place of hatred and social conflict?

It's also incredible that, after all these years, no headmaster has ever tried to change that, not even our great Headmaster Dumbledore. ”

With that, Zuo Si ignored Barrow, the Bloody Man, who had fallen silent, and stood up and walked towards Professor Snape's office.

Not long after he walked on his front foot, another ghost on his back foot floated down from the ceiling and asked in a slightly curious tone, "What shocking remarks did he say to you?" ”

"This time it was truly shocking. It's the first time I've seen such a student since I became a ghost. Tom Riddle was nothing compared to him when he first entered the school. Bloody Barrow replied in a low voice.

As one of the first students to be at Hogwarts and a man who had seen the Big Four firsthand, he had seen almost all of the school's history of magic and wizardry for thousands of years, as well as countless talented young wizards.

But there has never been anyone like Zuo Si who can jump out of the limitations of thinking and stand on a higher position and look down on everything.

This pattern and vision alone have surpassed all wizards.

If that terrifying talent is added, the Bloody Barrow doesn't know what amazing things he can achieve in the future.

……

Half an hour later, in Snape's office, Zuo Sizheng was trying to concoct a very difficult elixir under the guidance of his house headmaster.

Due to its proximity to the Slytherin common room, footsteps can often be heard in the corridors outside.

However, this small distraction did not affect him in the slightest.

In just a few minutes, greenish-purple smoke came out of the pot, and it emitted a magic power that could not be seen by the naked eye.

Seeing this scene, Snape, who was still with a straight face, finally curled the corners of his mouth slightly and commented: "Good job." Very few Hogwarts students can successfully concoct the perfect elixir on the first attempt.

I didn't expect that your talent in potions was not inferior to spells and alchemy.

With a little time and effort in this, you should be able to become a true Potions Master. ”

"Thanks for the compliment, aren't you curious, what I made the elixir for?" Zuo Si asked with interest.

"It's illegal to use the Truth Elixir on someone, but it doesn't cause any real harm, unless he does something shady and shady." Snape replied meaningfully.

"But everyone has some secrets hidden in their hearts to a greater or lesser extent. Even if you don't do anything shady, if you confide too many thoughts that originally only exist in your mind, I'm afraid you will die socially on the spot. In a way, this potion is no less destructive than the three unforgivable spells. ”

As he spoke, Zuo Si poured the hot potion into the pot to cool it, and then sprinkled some fragrant powder from India.

When the temperature had dropped to a critical point, he put the half-finished potion into the roaster for baking.

After about twenty or thirty minutes, when the color of the elixir changes from greenish-purple to a white milky substance, the powerful elixir is completed.

Taking advantage of the time of baking, Zuo Si took a silver hoop from his pocket and handed it to Snape.

The latter took it in his hand and examined the material for a moment, and then tentatively said in a tone that was not very sure: "What is this?" ”

"An extension of the magic scroll-making technique.

It can store a spell, then put it on a wand and release it when needed.

Since there is no need to chant a mantra, only one thought is needed to activate it, so it is perfectly possible to cast it simultaneously when using another spell.

In this way, you can give your opponent two very different blows in a flash.

Unfortunately, after testing, I found that a wand can only be fitted with one of these magical devices at most.

Otherwise, if you have a few more sets at a time, you should be able to take a big advantage in battle.

In addition, unlike a scroll, which is a one-time consumable, this device can be used repeatedly. ”

With a smile on his face, Zuo Si introduced Snape to the new type of storage equipment he had recently developed.

Like the castrated scroll transcription technique, this metal hoop can only be worn over a wand.

But for the wizards of this world, it is already an out-and-out subversive invention.

Just look at the slightly trembling hand to see how excited Snape was at the moment.

You must know that he was also a member of the Death Eaters, and he has experienced no less battles.

I know very well what kind of role such a small thing can play at a critical moment.

It is not an exaggeration to even describe the turn of the tide of the battle in an instant.

Snape assured that the Aurors, knowing that there was something like this that would strengthen their own fighting power, would have asked the Ministry of Magic to equip everyone with one, no matter how expensive it was.

It took a full minute before he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, then looked up and asked, "Is this thing difficult to make?" ”

"Uh-huh, it should be fine.

If I were to make it, I would be able to make several of them in a day.

The problem was that, given the varying levels of mana of each wizard, I needed to figure out the power of the spells they were casting before crafting.

For example, a powerful wizard like Headmaster Dumbledore needs some expensive special materials to increase the maximum capacity.

But for Hogwarts students, too much capacity is wasteful.

To put it simply, one-to-one customization is a must. ”

Zuo Si gave an answer unhurriedly.

As we all know, the magic of this world is very easy to use as you want because there are no restrictions on it, and there is a magic wand as a secondary equipment.

But again, it is precisely because it is too free and too casual that there is no clear standard for magical power.

Take Avadavaso's life spell as an example, Voldemort can be invincible when cast, and a flash of green light can instantly take a person's life.

However, if it were to be performed by other wizards, it might only cause the target to suffer some injuries and nosebleeds at best.

In addition to this, the variations of various spells are also varied.

For example, the fire released by ordinary wizards may only be difficult to extinguish, but in Voldemort's hands, it can transform into a giant fiery snake.

The power of the same spell in the hands of different wizards can even give the illusion that they are two spells at all.

Therefore, this chaotic situation makes it difficult to make storage items skyrocket, and only one-to-one customization can be carried out.

Fortunately!

Zuo Si had seen Snape release spells more than once, so he was able to craft equipment that matched the opponent's magic level.

"Great gift, I loved it.

With this skill alone, I think you'll soon be one of the most popular people in the entire wizarding world.

Because no wizard wouldn't want to be able to add a few extra means to keep themselves safe.

And as soon as one person chooses to use it, then other wizards must follow.

Otherwise, it's easy to suffer a big loss in a spell duel. ”

Snape saw the future of the little silver ring with little effort.

After all, even the flying broomstick is a means of transportation that has swept the entire wizarding world from being unpopular at the beginning, not to mention things that can directly enhance the wizard's own strength.

Maybe in a few years, this thing will become a necessity for almost everyone like a wand.

"That

How much do you think is appropriate for this kind of customized service? Zuo Si humbly asked.

Snape replied without thinking, "After deducting the cost, the minimum charge is two thousand gold Galleons each." If it's those wealthy pure-blood family members, you might consider multiplying that price by three or five. Anyway, as long as the corresponding family crest is carved on it, they will be more than happy to pay a little more. ”

"Understood. Thank you so much for your pointers, I think I know what to do. ”

Zuo Si's face showed a trademark smile that only comes when he slaughters a fat sheep.

Although he didn't like the faces of pure-blood supporters like Malfoy, he didn't hate the Golden Galleons in their hands.

In addition, it takes a very, very large amount of money to successfully build a stable shelter in this world.

No anti-theft

This included both Muggle currency and gold galleons minted by the elves.

"Don't overdo it, at least make it look like it's worth the money."

Snape was obviously a little uneasy about Zuo Si's character, and finally couldn't help but remind him.
