Chapter 137: Alchemist Karn
After a while, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic appeared on the battlefield, and they saw the Death Eaters lying on the ground and Karn and Hermione, the only ones standing nearby, and seven or eight Aurors subconsciously used a few fainting spells.
However, their spell hit Karn's Iron Armor Spell, and it only caused a small ripple, and it would take at least hundreds of spells to break it.
"What are you going to do? Mr. Barty Crouch, are you going to do anything to me after the Death Eaters are defeated? ”
Karn waved his hand, and the ground beside the Aurors instantly conjured up several clay and stone statues, raising their great swords aloft and ready to swing them down at any moment; It wasn't an attack, it was a shock, and if Karn intended to attack them, the Aurors would have been knocked down in an instant.
"Stop, Barty, this is a friend of the International Magical Trade Association!"
Luvin Amoto ran from a distance, quickly stopped Barty Crouch in front of him, and told him who Karn was.
After hearing that Karn was the Hogwarts professor and the owner of the potions material shop, Barty Crouch put down his wand, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart that it was better not to be a Death Eater, otherwise he would really feel a little scared to do it with this powerful wizard.
Crouch put away his wand and said to Karn in a much softened tone, "I'm sorry, it's too dark to recognize you, Professor Pente. ”
"It's okay, these people on the ground are the Death Eaters who attacked the Quidditch World Cup tonight, Mr. Crouch, you can bring them back."
With a wave of his hand, Karn lifted all the dirt and stone statues behind the Aurors, which made the Aurors breathe a sigh of relief; Otherwise, it would be quite uncomfortable to be aimed at their necks by a stone statue holding a big sword.
Barty Crouch stepped forward with a friendly attitude under Lu Wen's introduction and asked, "Professor Pente, are all the people here?" ”
"Except for a few that can't be spelled, it should be.."
"Gentlemen, can I take a picture of you?"
A man suddenly barged in with a camera, and although he was begging to be photographed, by the time he was questioning, the camera had already captured the scene.
Barty Crouch said angrily to the man: "Stop, it's not allowed to take pictures now..."
"A little thing, don't stand in the way, Mr. Crouch; These people can even ruin a Quidditch World Cup match, and I think all wizards have a right to know who is ruining their few funs. ”
Karn smiled and said a few kind words to the man who took the picture, and he recognized the person who took the picture as Xenophilius Lovegood, Luna's father, the editor-in-chief of the magazine that he had founded.
Kahn beckoned Lovegood and said, "Mr. Lovegood, remember to take a picture of the faces of these prisoners, Mr. Crouch spent a lot of effort to organize an event, and it was a great crime to be destroyed by these Death Eaters, and in my opinion, they should all be sent to Azkaban." ”
When Crouch heard Karn's words, although he was a little reluctant, he still agreed with it in his heart; It's disgusting that the Death Eaters chose such an important occasion to wreak havoc.
However, Crouch also knew why Kahn had Lovegood take pictures, and he wanted to use the Death Eaters to attack Minister Fudge's position.
As soon as he glanced at it, many of the Death Eaters who had fallen to the ground were from pure-blood families, and some of them were even Fudge's supporters.
The Minister of Magic and the Death Eaters sabotage the Quidditch World Cup? 》
Crouch could already think of the headlines in the wizarding newspapers tomorrow that might cause quite a stir within the Ministry of Magic.
After Lovegood finished taking the photo, Crouch didn't want to stay any longer, and hurriedly said to Kahn and Luwen: "Professor Pent, Luwen, I still have some things, so I'll go back and deal with them first." ”
With that, Crouch let the Aurors escort away the Death Eaters present, and because of the large number of people, he even left two people to guard the scene, and called many more people when he returned.
"We'll go back first, Mr. Lovegood, Louwen."
Karn said hello to the two, and then walked with Hermione to the camp; When he came out just now, he happened to run into the Wesley family who were leaving in a hurry, and now his family should be the only one left in the camp.
When they returned, Phil and Isaac saw Hermione walking in from the outside, and immediately thought of their negligence in letting the little master run out, but Karn did not allow them to harm themselves, and the two elves could only keep crying, and blame themselves for the fault.
Hermione couldn't persuade them, and in the end, Karn told them to pack their things and prepare to leave, and Phil and Isaac stopped blaming themselves and went to pack their things and prepare to go back.
The Death Eaters made a big fuss about the playing field, and it is estimated that the next game will also be held, and it is not known how many people were injured just now; If the Ministry of Magic is going to keep the Quidditch tournament going, it must at least produce results first.
For example, imprison all the Death Eaters who made trouble tonight in Azkaban, and then show their determination that whoever makes trouble will be arrested; Such a tough attitude will be able to restore some of the people's trust in the Ministry of Magic, otherwise the Ministry of Magic's approval rating will fall to an all-time low, under Karn's influence.
Upon returning, Hermione still expressed her dislike for the Death Eaters, but the only thing they did well was to stop the Quidditch match, otherwise the Irish would have lost several times; Hermione had made it metaphorically many times, as she had taken down a Death Eater and wanted Karn's compliment.
But compliments were encouragement to Hermione, and she was too young to encourage her to fight the Death Eaters.
It wasn't long before school started, Karn was going to try her hand at alchemy, and Hermione put away her mind about playing, she went to Romania this summer, and she also knocked out a Death Eater in a Quidditch World Cup match, which was good enough.
Hermione intends to continue refining potions, her potions have always been her strong point, and according to Keitel, there is a good chance that she will pass the potions exam now; Now Keitel can't teach Hermione anything, only those well-known Potions masters can continue to teach Hermione.
However, those people are difficult to invite, wizards who are proficient in potions no longer value Galleons, if they want, a bottle of high-grade potions can be exchanged for a lot of Galleons.
Karn couldn't help for the time being, unless he had a complete monopoly on European potions materials, and 90% of potions masters would have to look at his face.
After reading alchemy notes for more than a month, Karn finally planned to try it himself, he bought a lot of magic materials, and finally chose three, ready to make a necklace.
Defensive alchemy items are best carried with you, so the shape of the accessory category is the main choice.
..................
While using fire to change the shape of the magic materials, it is also necessary to carefully ensure that the magic power in it cannot be lost, and then place each magic material together, and use Runi Mowen to connect the magic power in all the magic materials into a whole, so that the prototype is completed.
In the end, after using Runi Mowen to give this alchemy item the corresponding function, it is completed; Nicolamay has summarized the alchemy of the wizarding world for hundreds of years, and he can be regarded as a master.
"I didn't expect Runi Mowen to be so difficult to build on alchemy items, and my magic control ability is a little worse..."
Karn tried twice, but without success; It is quite difficult to maintain the different magical materials with ancient magic scripts, and it is almost distracted to use them for many purposes.
"By the way, you can use a shadow clone!"
Karn suddenly remembered that when Naruto Uzumaki developed the spiral shuriken, he used the shadow clone to distract him, and finally completed the development of a new technique.
In this way, he can also learn from this method; Let one shadow clone keep the magic in the magic material from passing, and the other shadow clone will build a runi magic text to connect the whole, and the main body will be used to give alchemy items functions.
Even if the clone was multi-purpose, it took a lot of time to construct Runi Mormon, and dozens of Runi Mormon were all condensed into a small necklace, which was a big challenge for Karn.
When Nicoleleme was young, he refined several of these alchemical items, but the side effects of living too long were also reflected in him, and when he was refining this alchemy item, he was a little lacking in mental energy; His memory and energy are not as good as before, and the failure rate is very high, so Nick Mailer rarely refines.
"It worked.."
When the last Rune Morn was given to Karn in the necklace, the necklace that was still glowing just now suddenly became ordinary; This alchemy item is very magical, and will block all external damage for the user, as long as it is within the range of Runemowen.
"Call Hermione to try."
Karn decided, and went to call Hermione, her potion just in time to make the auto-stirring cauldron work, and she could leave for a moment.
When Hermione saw the necklace Karn handed her, she asked curiously, "Godfather, what is this necklace?" "It's not like a gift, it's a little weird.
Karn said, "My first alchemy item, you put it on first and try the effect. ”
After Hermione put the necklace on, Karn suddenly cast a spell on her and fainted, but the spell flashed red and was blocked by the transparent shield that suddenly appeared on Hermione's body.
"God, what was that.." Hermione was startled by the sudden spell, patted her chest and studied the alchemy necklace, "Is that an iron armor charm, Godfather, you are too powerful, I heard that the protective alchemy item is very expensive, this alchemy item with an iron armor spell is at least a few hundred Galleons, maybe thousands of Galleons is possible..."
Hermione's estimation is still a little conservative, the Iron Armor Charm Necklace with automatic defense is rarely circulated in the market, and it will basically be snatched away by others if it appears, except for the Unforgivable Charm, the Iron Armor Charm can even block the fire a little.
Basically, it starts with thousands of Galleons, and if the material is expensive, it may be even more expensive, and it is possible to have four or five thousand Galleons.
"The materials used in this alchemy necklace are average, just practice, at most one or two thousand Galleons."
Karn saw the expectation in Hermione's eyes, so he smiled and said, "By the time I use expensive magic materials to refine a good defensive alchemy ornament for you, there will already be a crack on this necklace." ”
When Hermione heard this, she took it off and looked at it, and indeed found signs of cracking on the beads on it; Karn's magic meant that the spells he used were incredibly powerful, but this necklace was a good defense.
Karn had now found a way to increase his success rate, and he just had to try more, and those expensive materials were nothing to him, and the largest supplier of potions materials in Europe could easily buy them, even if they were made of mythril and adamantite gold.
There was still some time before the start of school, and after Karn refined all the slightly ordinary magic materials into alchemical items, he asked Keitel to buy him some more expensive magic materials, including Mithril and Adamantite, which cost 30,000 Galleons.
Keitel had returned a few days earlier, and she had caught the Dracules for violating the magic contract, and had cut off the Dracules' next supply of potions; The Delacours must make up for the breach of contract within the deadline, or the Ministries of Magic in both countries will sanction them.
Moreover, they also offended the largest potion material supply store in Europe, and it is estimated that they will not have to do business in the future, so they can only change their careers.
.................
The day before the start of school at Hogwarts, Karn looked at the gleaming gemstone necklace in his hand and felt a sense of accomplishment.
"It's finally done, and if it fails, it really hurts me..."
A chain of mythril and pure gold, a unicorn tail and phoenix feathers are threaded together, followed by a magical emerald with iron armor, healing and rejuvenation.
If you take it out for auction, don't even think about it if you don't have more than 10,000 Galleons; After an Auror takes it, at least be careful of the other party's killing curse, and can fight against them with three dark wizards, and it is estimated that he will not suffer.
The multi-spell grant seemed to be a unique alchemical method of Nicolamel, and he tried it several times, with a low success rate, but after successfully crafting a few pieces, he went on to study other alchemy.
Now inherited and carried forward by Karn, his shadow clones have the same memories and the same magic; If you help refine alchemy items together, not only will it not help, but it will also have the effect of 1+1 greater than 3.
One day, on the day of the start of school at Hogwarts, Hermione changed into a beautiful youthful outfit and said to Karn, "Godfather, it's almost time to go. ”
"You're dressed nicely today, Hermione, but you're a little bit less decorative." After Karn finished speaking, he took out the alchemy ornament that he had successfully refined yesterday, and said to Hermione, "This is a gift from the godfather, and it is my first successful work. ”
"This is for me... Thank you so much, Godfather, I love it. Hermione's eyes lit up when she saw the necklace, and she liked it from the bottom of her heart when she saw it.
Karn then introduced him to the function of the necklace, and the magic materials on it were all top-notch, although Karn didn't test it much; But the Iron Armor Charm is at least ten times more protective than the first alchemy necklace, and it can at least resist Karn's full force of the Crushing Charm, and it is not clear whether it will be broken after blocking it.
It wasn't so cheap, so Karn could only make an estimate.
After Hermione put the necklace on, Karn sent her to the Hogwarts Express, and then had Phil drop him off at school, he didn't want to take the train anymore, if it weren't for the large number of anti-apparition disfigurement spells in Hogwarts, Karn himself would have come directly.
After arriving at the school, Karn first went to meet Dumbledore and greeted him: "Professor Dumbledore, thank you for lending me Nicolame's alchemy book, it has helped me a lot. ”
"It's nothing, and Nick definitely wants someone to take alchemy to the next level." Dumbledore pushed some honey candy in front of Karn, but he politely refused, and instead greedily picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and continued to say to Karn, "Professor Pente, your office has not been used, and Lupin used the office behind the dark arts classroom when teaching. ”
"I know, but what's bothering you?"
Karn saw Dumbledore's expression, and he looked like he wanted to say it but didn't know what to say.
"Because of the Death Eaters, they have captured so many people, but none of them are willing to reveal their purpose, and they can bring together so many Death Eaters, except for Tom, no one else seems to have this ability."
"Why don't you use a real potion?"
"Cornelius doesn't allow it, and neither do other pure-blood families..."
Karn chuckled, "What a puppet minister, Professor Dumbledore, don't care about those people; The reason why the rats are in the gutter is because they don't have the strength and guts to survive outside, and when Quidditch is matched, my men are merciful, and they will not be so lucky next time. ”
"I believe you on this, Professor Pent, and it seems to me that you are even more talented in magic than Tom."
Dumbledore then jokingly said, "If you were to be the Headmaster, Hogwarts might be safer..."
