Chapter 403: Fairy Wand Factory
Once upon a time, goblins were a very powerful magical race, otherwise they would not have been able to compete with wizards for leadership in the wizarding world.
However, with the development of the times, the development of human beings is unstoppable. Like the founding of Ancient Rome!
At a time when the wizarding world was not yet separated from ordinary society, the influence of human prosperity inevitably affected the wizarding world.
As humanity grew stronger, so did wizards, eventually snatching the absolute leadership of the wizarding world more than 2,000 years ago.
If you use the words of the East, it is called "the great prosperity of the human race is the destiny of heaven, and it cannot be violated", and the other magical races can only settle for the second.
In the days that followed, humanity became more and more prosperous and numerous, and began to occupy every corner of the world, leaving many magical races with nowhere to hide.
It wasn't until 300 years ago, in modern times, that the secrecy law was introduced, and the wizarding world began to cut itself off from ordinary society.
In order to unite the vast majority of magical races with the power of magic, and strive for an independent living space for the magical world.
However, this also further elevated the status of wizards, and further squeezed the area of activity of other magical races, after all, it was already stipulated by law that they were not allowed to be exposed to Muggles. I had to hide.
Forget about the other magical races, they can only rely on the wizards. Originally, the population was not large, so I suffered myself and scolded the wizard.
But the goblins are different!
After the overall power of the wizarding world declined, they were very dissatisfied, and they did not stop making small movements.
Decades before the enactment of the Statute of Secrecy, in 1612, the English goblins rebelled.
The location of the elven rebellion was near Hogsmeade, and the Tavern of the Three Broomsticks now served as the wizard's liaison headquarters.
After the enactment of the Secrecy Act of 1692, another 60 years later, in 1752, the goblins could not bear it anymore and rebelled again!
The rebellion was mishandled, and the entire British wizarding community was plunged into war, and the Minister of Magic resigned.
The next minister came up for two months, and because the goblins successfully formed an alliance with the werewolves, their strength increased greatly! Resignation again......
This time, the leader of the goblin rebellion, the sloppy ghost Lala, also because of this "feat", was even honored in the wizarding world's chocolate frog picture dedicated to recording celebrities.
The most recent goblin rebellion was in 1865......
In the aftermath of this rebellion, the British Ministry of Magic compromised and gave the goblins a full takeover of Gringotts in an attempt to prevent the rebellion from continuing to occur.
You know, most of the Gringotts in other countries are in the hands of wizards.
Only Gringotts in England is completely in the hands of goblins.
Almost ninety percent of employees are goblins, and only a few insignificant positions will hire wizards.
This is the only chain of banks in the whole of the wizarding world!
Perhaps the officials of the British Ministry of Magic at the time thought that the goblins would be satisfied if they mastered the circulation of wealth of the Ministry of Magic.
But they underestimated the ambitions of the goblins, and they never gave up on their dream of recovering the country!
Although the Goblin Revival faction and the Goblin Vengeance Army have not made any major incidents over the years, they can also be said to be famous as famous-stirring sticks. I haven't stopped moving.
Especially now that they have mastered the economic circulation of the British wizarding world, they have a kind of contempt for wizards.
Now the banking system of the British wizarding world, most of the deposits of wizards, the production and sale of seventy or eighty percent of magical metals...... It's all in the hands of the goblins!
After the emergence of other otherworldly magic races in the past ten years, the goblins are even more ready to move, secretly collecting a lot of thugs like big goblins, bear goblins, ogres, etc., and their strength has skyrocketed.
If it were me, I would think I was superior!
Ted thought for a moment: "The three goblin rebellions were all separated by more than a hundred years, and this is the most recent one, and it has been more than a hundred years!" Is that time? The goblins come back once in every generation! ”
……
The goblins plan to set off a fourth rebellion, and the reason doesn't need to be thought about, after all, it is also a traditional custom of the people, an ancestral craft.
Now Ted needs to think about what he is going to do in this matter?
First of all, you must not sit on the sidelines.
Although it is said that there is a high top when the sky falls, but now he is not short, which is considered to be in the spotlight.
And I can't stand bending over like this every day.
Dumbledore didn't know what he was up to right now...... Busy! All busy! It's better to be busy~
And Fudge certainly didn't hold back his farts in the middle of this. Maybe you want to do something with this wave of goblin rebellion.
Will Ted be able to get him what he wants?!
No, I can't!
Not to mention that they also injured the old cat lady!
When I'm Hogwarts, there's no one, right?!
Ted contacted Barty Jr.
"I've got some information. The elves are amassing power to rebel. And Fudge may have a connection with them, with his own little abacus. You can use this as an opportunity to break into it. ”
Barty Jr. accepted this almost instantly—because this was Fudge's last year in power, and the Ministry of Magic election was just a few months away!
The loudest voice right now is Amelia Bones, the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
The lady's brother, Edgar Bones, was a member of the original Order of the Phoenix, and his entire family (wife and children) were killed by Death Eaters.
She has never married, and she is inspired to avenge her brother. He is jealous and hateful, fair and honest, and is highly respected!
The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has always been a favorite in ministerial elections, not to mention the prestige of Ms. Bones herself.
Fudge is in danger~
In this case, if you don't sit back, it's normal to act a little out of line. Politicians, you can't count on their discipline.
"I understand the master." Now that he knows Fudge's purpose, it is much more convenient to do what he likes, and little Barty is handy for this kind of thing.
"Does Fudge have any right-hand men who are holding you back?" Ted asked.
Barty Jr. is an extremely clever and intelligent person, and he immediately understood what Ted meant: "The master, Robert Corbussy, the deputy director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was brought up by Fudge to try to check and balance Director Amelia Bones. And he was born in the Aurors, and he also has a certain influence on the Auror office. It's Fudge's right-hand man in the Ministry of Magic......"
Ted nodded: "Understood, give me his information and movements, and I will deal with it." ”
"I understand that I will fill his vacancy and become Secretary Fudge's right-hand man."
"Hmm."
After Ted received the whereabouts of the unlucky man, he contacted Lucius again.
"Mr. Lucius?"
"I'm here."
"I've found the exact information. The elves are in rebellion, and Fudge has a connection with them. ”
"What?! Is he crazy? When Lucius heard the news, he was not as calm as Barty Jr.
Apparently he doesn't know as much about Fudge Jr. as he does now.
And although it was also "dead once", Lucius faked his death, and Barty Jr. was a real death. After dying once, everything is very clear.
Ted patiently said, "It's not surprising that he is crazy for the position of Minister of Magic. If he loses this year's election, he will be liquidated. If it were Ling, would you be crazy? ”
"So, what should I do?" Lucius asked, a little stunned when he heard the news.
Although he is already considered a pure-blood wizard family, he has never experienced this.
After all, it's a small elite in a small society, and it's almost meaningless.
If this is a wizard who grew up in South America or Southeast Asia, it is estimated that rebellion is like eating, killing people is like gasping, and it is not taken seriously at all.
Ted said, "Perhaps, you should contact Draco." You've achieved your goal of exercising, you can't keep going, right? ”
"And you can secretly assist him in contacting Sirius, wooing some pure-blood families, and mixing up some benefits in this goblin rebellion......"
Lucius obviously listened, and was very moved.
It's just that poor Draco managed to survive half a year to accept the reality of his dear father's death, and suddenly to accept the reality that his father was actually lying to him.
I only hope that this period of exercise, as well as the tempering in the ideal township and the game, will make him tenacious enough.
Speaking of which, although Ted doesn't like pure-bloods very much, it's really that small group of people who are really influential in the British wizarding world.
Or the population is too small, a society of 30,000 people, the solidification is too serious.
Therefore, having Malfoy and the Black family unite a group of pure-blood wizards has a strong ability to deal with the goblin rebellion. And it was also possible to gain more after the war.
It's easy to understand that you're a good person, and you can give more benefits when you encounter something.
Then Ted went to deal with the deputy director of the legal department, Robert.
It was almost dawn now, and Ted had been busy for almost thirty hours. Before he could go to work, he was dealt with first.
Ted's apparition made his way to a familiar street nearby, and by this time he was already in the form of a bearded adult wizard.
While it was still dark, Ted silently broke into Robert's house.
Don't say it, this person is a bit of a sense of distress, worthy of being an Auror, and even set up a double trigger magic trap.
It's a pity that Ted's current actions are shrouded in mirror space, and then directly engaged in it. This is not enough at all.
It took only thirty seconds for Ted to capture the guy in his early thirties alive.
"Wait! Who are you? What do you want? The power of the mind turned into an invisible hand, which carried him around his neck in the air, leaving him with no choice but to kick his legs in the air.
Ted didn't explain, didn't want to pay attention to it, and threw it directly into the ideal township.
And the man vanished from the face of the earth.
However, this man did not know Fudge's ultimate goal, only that he was going to do something out of the ordinary for the sake of the election. And promised that if he didn't succeed, he would support him to become the next director of the Department of Magical Law, so that at least the key position would be his own people.
Ted was happy with Fudge, or at least cautious, telling his secrets without meeting anyone. It's like a little bit.
After that, Ted arranged the traces a little, and thought it was the dark wizard who did it. Ok, withdraw!
I'll have to go to the fairy wand factory!
The main reason why Ted didn't kill Robert was that although this person was Fudge's man, he didn't have any evil deeds.
There are few people in the wizarding world, and if you kill one less person, you won't kill if you can.
Arrest me first, and when Fudge falls, won't this person become my man?
What? Not from?!
Is there anyone else in the Ideal Township who doesn't follow my Ted?!
Have you ever heard of Infinite Month Reading?
It is estimated that it will not take this step, directly seal the memory, throw it into the "Wizarding World" as an NPC, and when he restores his memory, he will be scared to death.
What is the difference between a person who has no self and his past and who is dead?
When the time comes, when you think back to the experience of this time, what you say and what he listens to.
Besides, a person like this kind of "Xixi Material Wei Junjie", can he still sacrifice his precious life for Fudge?
Oh yes, Ted suddenly became interested, and planned to arrange a highly intelligent NPC wife for him in the game, just to see the reactions of both sides - it should be regarded as a magic Turing test!
Robert, do you want a wife?
You're an old bachelor, you picked it up, you know?
After this operation, if he dares to resist Ted's will, Ted is willing to call him the strongest seed!
……
The wand is the finest invention in the wizarding world.
Magic is a force that works according to the human mind and achieves miracles.
The problem is that many people's minds are uncertain, which can cause magic to malfunction or get out of control.
Thousands of years before the wand was invented, it was very difficult for wizards to cast spells.
And the appearance of the wand, made up for it.
It's like a magic remote control, allowing wizards to easily and calmly command their magic power to accomplish their own goals.
Better tools make good work!
Not only wizards, but other magical races as well.
It can be said that the advent of the wand broadened the field of magic.
This effect is especially evident in the repeated rebellions of the elves.
Goblins without wands, only the top handful can fight against wizards. So all three rebellions ended in failure.
By now, wands have become taboo, and goblins are not allowed to touch them at all.
The making of the wand is also entirely in the hands of the wizard.
In all of Europe, there are no more than a hundred wizards who can make wands!
In many countries, the craftsmanship has been passed down by one family for hundreds of years.
And the finished product must be reported to the local Ministry of Magic. It's similar to Muggles producing guns. Do you think the trace is just there to detect the little wizard casting magic outside?
Although the goblins have always wanted to get their hands on the wand, there really is no other way but to snatch it from the hands of the dead wizard.
But now, taking advantage of the great changes that have not been seen in 10,000 years in the other world, the goblins have found an opportunity.
Speaking of which, this fairy wand factory has something to do with Ted.
Among Ted's otherworldly knowledge, he has obtained the alchemy knowledge of the world of Azeroth, which includes the ability to enchant, and the enchantment ability includes some knowledge of making magic wands.
Ted didn't have a side story, but there were a lot of things that had been passed down to the world of Azeroth.
The common ones are magical plants such as the Tranquility Flower and Thorn Grass, and the uncommon ones are magic ores, equipment, and books!
And the goblins are some of the knowledge obtained from an enchanted book of Azeroth.
In order to decipher the text above, they spent at least eight thousand gold galleons of material on multiple divination and spell casting.
And it describes a low-level wand making method.
The elves have invested a lot of financial and material resources to replace and try materials, and in the end, although it is still not as good as the wand made by Ollivanders, it is slightly better than nothing.
But as it happens, in "Wizarding World", Ted revealed some relevant knowledge!
After all, wizards play games, can they do without a wand?
Real-world wands can't be brought directly into the game, right?
Therefore, the wand is also one of the must-do quests.
It belongs to the series of missions that novice players have to fight for all the way up to level 20 after creating a character.
Once you've done that, you've got all the ingredients and conditions in place, and you're ready to craft your wand.
Of course, if you're tired of being a wizard, there are other options.
For example, substitutes such as magic swords, magic daggers, magic books, and magic rings, depending on the profession.
Ted didn't go into as much detail as all the information and knowledge, and unless he was a wandmaker like Ollivander in the first place, he couldn't have made a wand in reality just based on the information in the game.
But as it happens, the goblins have already spent a lot of money to get started.
This is a prostitute for nothing!
……
Ted dropped the goblin in his hand, and the news he had just gotten from his mind made his face turn green with anger.
Made, prostitute me for nothing?!
Lao Tzu has been prostituting for half his life, and today he is also prostituted!
When you come out to prostitution, you always have to pay it back!
Ted planted a backdoor hint in the mind of the gatekeeper goblin, using it as a random pawn.
Then stealth continues to explore the wand factory downward.
Probably an ancestral craft, this wand factory is underground. It has to be more than forty meters deep!
When Ted entered it, he found that this thing was not an underground space. It's a super-large goblin drill!
Ted had seen it in the memories of the previous four Guardian Professors in the Hogwarts underground.
This is the inheritance of the elves!
This guy must weigh dozens of tons, several times larger than the one who specializes in burrowing in memory. Didn't it cost the elves decades of magical metal reserves?
It appears that in order to ensure the safety of the wand factory, this underground factory will be moved every once in a while to avoid detection. Traces of underground caverns will also be magically restored.
Ingenious, dear~
This thing is good, I booked it!
Ted is like an invisible memory stealer, scanning all the elves that pass by one by one, checking their memories and searching for relevant information.
In this goblin wand factory, there are probably more than fifty goblins and less than sixty people.
There are thirty or forty of them are guards and the like, and there are secret sentinels or something.
There were only eight goblins who actually made wands, and the youngest ones were all wrinkled. It seems that they are all old craftsmen of the elves.
And they're all line-operated, not hand-made. Although the quality is average, the yield is much higher!
There had to be seven or eight a day, which Ollivander couldn't do at all.
Ted found the leader among these people. After controlling him in that palatial office, dig into his memories.
This person can be placed in this kind of place, and his status is not low, and he finally learned a lot of useful information.
This rebellion was prepared by the elves for more than twenty years, and there were signs of it since Voldemort ravaged the British wizarding world.
Originally, he wanted to rebel after Voldemort turned the wizarding world into shape, so that the wizard's resistance and sense of resistance would be very low.
Maybe there will be Voldemort's enemies to take refuge in him!
Unexpectedly, Voldemort was defeated at the hands of a baby. The defeat was a bit caught off guard......
And after the magic races of the other world began to appear frequently in this world, their hearts became even more excited.
This time, the goblins seem to have something to rely on, and it's not just the wand factory...... So it's time to get started!
Rely on! What do the goblins have to rely on?
Oh yes, and Fudge.
Fudge was indeed secretly in contact with the elves. It's just that the goblins don't believe him very much.
Ted pondered, maybe I can make them dog-eat-dog?!
