Chapter 233 Never underestimate the power of technology (10,000-word chapter, please subscribe)
Except for the two parties involved, no one knows what exactly happened in the principal’s office at Hogwarts.
But when Rita Skeeter walked out of it, she no longer had the arrogant and aggressive attitude before. Instead, she was as docile as a dog tamed by its owner.
Both the attitude and tone of speaking have undergone a 180-degree turn.
Not only that, she also praised Zuo Si as much as she could, and said that she would write a special report after she went back, so that wizards all over the world would know that there is such a person who is destined to lead the way in Hogwarts. Genius of the new age.
Obviously, this sudden change made other colleagues very uncomfortable.
Especially the reporter from "Wizard Weekly" knows this colleague's style and way of doing things better than anyone else. He has no idea whether the other person's brain was damaged by the door, or whether he is behind Zuo Si's back. There are certain forces or families that cannot be offended, so they behave completely differently from usual.
But before the middle-aged man had time to test, Rita Skeeter hurriedly left Hogwarts as if running for her life.
Because every time she saw Zuo Si's black eyes, she would immediately recall the severe pain caused by the Cruciatus Curse on her body.
Although it was just an illusion, it felt extremely real.
You don't need to ask to know that Rita Skeeter has inevitably suffered from persistent phantom pain after being tortured by the Cruciatus Curse for half an hour.
I just don’t know whether this situation is a temporary stress reaction or a nightmare that will accompany her throughout her life.
However, Zuo Si will not have any kindness or mercy at all towards this kind of troublemaker who spreads rumors, slanders, and fabricates fake news to mislead the public all day long.
If it were not inconvenient to start at Hogwarts, he would even use Rita Skeeter to test the three unforgivable curses that he had just learned, instead of just the Cruciatus Curse.
In fact, learning the three unforgivable curses and black magic is not as difficult as imagined.
Except for the books on how to make Horcruxes, which were later taken away and hidden by Dumbledore, the rest of the spells and information can be found in the restricted book area of the Hogwarts library. Even many senior students can master one or two. indivual.
It’s just that most of the time it’s not easy to use.
"What did you do to Rita Skeeter?" Dumbledore asked meaningfully.
"It's nothing, I just gave her a little warning." Zuo Si answered in an evasive manner.
Dumbledore obviously did not expect that this "little warning" was actually torturing a person with the Cruciatus Curse for half an hour. He thought it was just a threat or intimidation. He immediately smiled and shook his head and sighed: "You are really young and energetic. But promise me, don't do this next time. You know, it may not be a big deal if you use this method once or twice, but it will get better if you use it more. Something goes wrong. Once you are labeled as a dark wizard, it will be difficult to take it off.”
But Zuo Si shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I don't care. Compared to these trivial matters, when do you plan to deal with the possessed Professor Quirrell? You must know that he is currently using black magic. The defense class is a disaster and a waste of all students' time."
"Oh? How did you know that Professor Quirrell was possessed?" Dumbledore looked surprised.
He thought this secret was well hidden, at least not among the students except for a few professors.
"I can smell the smell of rot, curse, weakness and pain revealed from the soul even from dozens of meters away." Zuo Si gave a straightforward answer.
With divine power and the energy transformed from it, identifying Voldemort's tortured soul is as easy as eating and drinking.
Since he had torn his own soul apart more than once to create Horcruxes, this guy's soul was worse than a newborn baby or a remnant soul torn apart by necromantic magic.
Maybe it is because of this that Voldemort desires immortality no matter what.
Because once he dies, given the state of his soul, 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 became serious.
"That's right!"
Zuo Si nodded unabashedly.
“In my opinion, there is nothing more stupid than creating Horcruxes to achieve immortality.
For a person, the soul is the most special and important thing, Even life cannot compare with it.
But a second-rate wizard tore his soul into pieces for the sake of so-called eternal life. It was like losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds. "
"Then what would you do if it were you?" Dumbledore narrowed his eyes and asked.
“There are many ways.
For example, through magic, you can fundamentally transform yourself into an immortal race;
Or you can delve into the unique form of ghosts and then abandon them. The body lives forever in the form of a pure soul;
No matter how bad it is, you can use alchemical items such as magic stones to forcibly slow down the decay of the body.
In short, there are many ways for people to escape death, but making a Horcrux is undoubtedly the one with the most serious consequences.
What's more, each split Horcrux is equivalent to an independent personality. How can you ensure that it will be you when it wakes up? ”
Zuo Si put forward a paradox in a contemptuous tone.
As we all know, a person’s “personality” is composed of countless memories, genes, hormones, and a series of extremely complex things. Together.
So if a person "backs up" his current state and then "loads" it after a sudden death, he will inevitably lose this part of the memory that is not "archived".
So when the "backup" is resurrected, will this person still be the same person?
At least in Zuo Si's view, the previous person was dead, and what was left was just a clone or replica that inherited most of this person's memories.
Unless you can create a soulless body like [Static Clone Technique], and then after your own body is destroyed, the soul can be reborn directly on the backup body with all the memories, this can be considered a true meaning. resurrection and immortality.
"You mean...every time that person dies, there will inevitably be slight changes in his original personality?"
Dumbledore's eyes shone slightly, obviously affected by this. The novel theory is amazing.
If this inference is correct, then Tom Riddle's Horcrux is not as scary as he imagined.
The reason is simple!
Because the split soul fragments have not experienced failure personally, they will never learn the lesson and will still retain the arrogant character flaw.
Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "I don't know. I have never met Voldemort himself, and I don't know his current state and thoughts.
But one thing is for sure, that is he Except for his attainments in spells and magic, there is nothing worthy of praise
Both the structure and the vision are horribly narrow, just like a paranoid lunatic armed with dangerous weapons, with no sense at all in his head. ”
According to the Faerun camp, Voldemort is undoubtedly an out-and-out chaotic evil.
He may be really smart and good at planning and calculation, but he does whatever he wants. Because of my personality, I can never strictly follow the plans I made.
Maybe something will happen when my temper comes up.
"How do you think I should deal with Qi? Professor Luo and the remnant soul attached to him? "Dumbledore took off his glasses and rubbed his dry eyes and asked.
"Don't you already have a plan?
For example, to cultivate the wisdom, courage and courage of the savior and his companions, and to do this, you have set up adventure games one after another.
To be honest, before entering Hogwarts, I have never heard of a teacher in a school being so biased.
Whether it is you or Professor Snape, It turns the so-called Academy Cup, which is full of honors, into a huge joke and black humor.”
Zuo Si expressed his views crisply and made no secret of his disdain for this behavior.
Dumbledore smiled bitterly and sighed, not wanting to explain at all. He just responded in a slightly low tone: "We have no choice but to do this. You have to understand that Harry is responsible for an incomparable task." It is an important mission, and it is a mission that only he can complete, so he must accept more tests than other students."
"So for the greater good, he must sacrifice a magic school. Important fairness?
If you, as the rule maker and enforcer, do not abide by it, then how long do you think these rules can last?
Dear? Mr. Principal, don’t think that you are the only smart person in the world, and don’t think that all the students in the school are idiots.
Believe me, anyone who tries to play with the rules will eventually be struck back by the rules.
Finally, thank you for recommending my note to the International Confederation of Wizards and the Wizengamot. "
After saying this, Zuo Si put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly, then turned and left without looking back.
After his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Deng Bu Lido then raised his head and asked Nico Flamel, who was standing aside without saying anything: "How about it, 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, his intelligence is beyond ordinary people, the most powerful magical talent I have seen so far, his unique way of thinking, and his independent will that will never agree with others.
If he really has the blood of the Dumbledore family, then his future will be limitless. ”
Nicholas Flamel excitedly gave a very high evaluation.
To be precise, he couldn’t remember the last time he was so excited. He thought this His calm mentality will last until the end of his life.
“What about his character? Don’t you think you act too coldly often? I didn't even make many friends in school. "Dumbledore prompted.
But Nico Flamel smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't think so at all.
Because Soth's indifference stems from his extraordinary intelligence and reason.
After all, you can't force a genius who has the same abilities as an adult, or even surpasses most adult wizards, to behave no differently than an ordinary eleven-year-old child
If that were the case, it would have to be extra special. Be careful."
"I understand what you mean. This was how Tom Riddle successfully deceived most of the professors in the school. By the way, did Soss ask you about the Philosopher's Stone? Question?" Dumbledore asked bluntly.
"No, we just exchanged some experiences about alchemy. In fact, he has guessed the truth that I can create the magic stone. If he is willing, he should be able to create his own magic in a few more years. Stone."
When he said these words, Nico Flamel's eyes shone with a strange light.
As one of the top alchemist masters in the world, he naturally hopes that the skill of making magic stones can continue to be passed down after his death.
But unfortunately, the talents of several disciples taught by Nico Flamel were a bit unsatisfactory in this area, and they were not enough to understand the complex and exquisite mysteries of the Philosopher's Stone.
But the appearance of Zuo Si made him realize that this was the only person who could truly pass on the magic stone manufacturing technology.
"You gave him your alchemy notes?!" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in disbelief.
Nicholas Flamel replied very simply: "Yes, I gave my alchemy notes to Soth as a gift. Because I believe that one day he will surpass you and me and become the leader of the next generation. The proud man of the times."
"Aren't you worried that he will become the next Dark Lord?"
"No, no, don't forget that he is talking about Muggles. The attitude shown by the rapid development of the world in the past two or three hundred years. I don't think such people will eventually be as hostile to the Muggle world as Tom and Gellert, so give up your unnecessary worries." Ke Lemei persuaded with earnest words.
He was so aware of the psychological shadow that Voldemort's incident had caused on his friend that whenever he saw the smart and talented little wizard, he could not help but be on guard.
"Well, I hope you are right."
Dumbledore did not argue too much on this topic, but he also would not 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.
But what made him feel fortunate was that Zuo Si at least had a close relationship with Hermione Granger, unlike Voldemort who completely regarded the people around him as subordinates and tools that could be used.
……
Two days later, when the latest issues of "Daily Prophet" and "Wizard Weekly" were delivered to Hogwarts via owl.
The students in the whole school were in shock and admiration, and turned their attention to Zuo Si, who was always sitting alone in the corner fiddling with something.
Because on the front pages of these two influential media in the magical world, there is a photo of his activities, as well as a large number of praises from authoritative institutions and well-known wizards.
Especially Rita Skeeter's article continued her usual exaggerated style, almost touting Zuo Si as a rising star in the magical world, destined to leave a mark in the history of wizards. One stroke.
Some of these disgusting words are simply disgusting to look at.
Of course, for those little wizards who think about how to stand out among their classmates all day long, such compliments are just the right thing to stir up turmoil in their hearts.
If Zuo Si hadn't always acted like he wouldn't let strangers in, he would have been surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.
"The Second Order of Merlin! A bonus of 10,000 gold galleons provided by the International Confederation of Wizards, a bonus of 10,000 gold galleons provided by the Wizengamot, and a bonus of 5,000 gold galleons provided by the British Ministry of Magic. . Merlin's beard! This... this is too exaggerated."
Ron exclaimed in an extremely envious tone while holding the Daily Prophet in his hand.
Whether it is a medal or a bonus totaling 25,000 gold galleons, they are all things he longs for because of his extremely low self-esteem.
Not to mention the fame and honor that comes with it.
“Don’t forget the share that you can get after the book is published. The newspaper said that so far, the Ministry of Magic and magic schools in many countries have stated that they will use the scroll manufacturing technology invented by Soth. Consider it a required course. The income alone will be considerable," Harry reminded in a low voice.
"Oh, it would be great if I could get such a sum of money. It doesn't have to be much, just a few hundred gold galleons." Ron muttered softly.
Hermione, who was sitting next to her reviewing her homework, rolled her eyes angrily after hearing this: "Stop daydreaming. As long as you can spend some time playing around, you won't even need to copy your homework. Others."
"Damn it! Can't you stop my hopes for a better future?" Ron knocked on the table with his fist angrily.
"What you have is not called expectations for the future, but called unrealistic delusions. Because from beginning to end, you have not put in even the slightest effort, how can you possibly reap rewards? Forget it, talking to you about this is simply It's a waste of time."
As she said that, Hermione cast a disappointed look at this silly boy, then picked up her books and textbooks and walked towards the library.
Looking at her retreating back, Ron felt very unhappy and immediately complained through gritted teeth: "Granger is such a nasty guy. I really don't understand how Soth can tolerate her. You know, she doesn't even have a decent friend in Gryffindor."
"Thos doesn't have any friends in Slytherin. I think it's possible for smart people like them. The requirements for friends are relatively high." Harry spread his hands with a tired look.
It can be seen that the last two nights of Quidditch training have really tormented him.
Especially flight training 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, let's not talk about them. How was your recent training?"
When it came to Quidditch, Ron became extremely excited.
After all, the fact that his best friend was promoted to Seeker in the first grade gave him a lot of capital to show off to his students.
Harry smiled and replied: "Wood said I am very talented, and our names will be engraved on the Quidditch trophy this year."
"Awesome! I can't wait to see Gran Fendo Academy's game this year."
"Hey, I'm actually looking forward to the day when I can play."
"I bet Malfoy will be jealous of this. Crazy."
"In fact, he is going crazy now. This guy must have guessed how I won the last midnight duel."
"Hahahaha! But the problem is that he has no evidence to prove it, right?"
"Yes! I just like to see Malfoy with a stinky face all day long."
...
Just as Harry and Ron gathered together to whisper, a man and a woman had already walked through the crowd and came directly to Zuo Si under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
"Hello, my name is Penelo Crevat, and I am a prefect of Ravenclaw."
"My name is Percy, and I am the prefect of Gryffindor."
The two briefly introduced themselves almost at the same time.
"What's the matter?" Zuo Si asked expressionlessly.
"That's right. We read about the magic scroll technology you invented in the Daily Prophet, so we would like to ask you to take time out of your spare time to guide some senior students who are interested in this aspect. . ”
Percy straightforwardly stated the idea that he had been thinking about for two days.
In his opinion, the other party would not refuse such an invitation that could establish prestige and gain power in the school.
But Zuo Si didn't even move his eyelids and refused bluntly: "I'm sorry, my time is precious and I don't have time to waste it on such a meaningless and boring thing.
< br>What's more, you want to get knowledge from me without paying any price...
Should I praise you for being too smart, or too stupid?
Or? Did you have ulterior motives and planned to use this as an excuse to get closer?”
moment!
Percy, who was confident one second, turned red in the next second, with anger and annoyance in his eyes.
He never dreamed that Zuo Si would be so disrespectful.
Especially those black pupils, as if they have seen through themselves. "Don't you want to be popular in school?"
Penelo Crevat had a very confused and puzzled expression on his face.
The Ravenclaw prefect originally thought that Zuo Si, who suffered isolation and exclusion in Slytherin, would be more eager to have a small group that could accept him.
"No need and no interest. Just like those idiots in Slytherin, no matter their contempt, isolation, exclusion, or fear, it has no impact on me. So please put away those little thoughts and stay away. "Please, don't bother me again. Do you understand?"
When he said these words, Zuo Si's eyes flashed with a sharp cold light, and his body that did not look strong revealed something that could not be described in words. The sense of oppression immediately caused the smart-alecked Penelo Crevat and Percy to run away.
The two teenage boys and girls simply did not understand that from the beginning, he only used Hogwarts as a springboard to enter the wizarding world, let alone recruit subordinates in the school like Voldemort did. .
Therefore, this kind of mutual association between students did not appeal to him in the slightest.
“You should not use those insulting words to describe your classmates in the college.”
Bloody Barrow suddenly appeared from under the table, with strong reproach in his tone. .
If it had been any other student, they would have been frightened by his face and tone.
But Zuo Si responded very contemptuously: "Why, has it stimulated your poor self-esteem and sense of belonging to Slytherin House again?
Even Salazar Slytherin wouldn't take back my opinion.
The era of pure blood has passed away, and no one can stop the trend of history.
In other words, the theory of pure blood has never become the so-called mainstream in the magic world from the beginning.
Because mixed-race wizards are always the largest group of people.
I can guarantee that all the so-called pure-blood families in the European wizarding world can trace their ancestors back to Muggles. ”
"But you can't deny the excellence of pure blood. Because the talent and power of wizards are inherited through blood, this is a fact that no one can change." Bloody Barro argued.
It is not difficult to tell 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 blood 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.
"Of course not. Have you heard of genes?
Have you heard of in vitro fertilization in the Muggle world?
Have you heard of cloning technology?
In For Life In research in this field, Muggles have already surpassed the magical world.
On the premise of abandoning ethics and morality, as long as some male or female genetic material is provided, they can even create possessions in batches. A child with the potential to become a wizard
Even within a few hundred years, the planet beneath our feet can be transformed into a world where everyone is a wizard.
So never underestimate the power of technology.
Muggles are no longer able to be controlled by wizards like they were hundreds of years ago. Instead, they are becoming more and more powerful. Maybe sooner or later they will notice the conflict between wizards and the magical world. exist.
At that time, it will not be done with just a Muggle banishing spell. ”
Zuo Si bluntly told a cruel fact that was enough to make the magic world feel fear and despair.
Because in the eyes of many wizards, the Secrecy Act and the Muggle Protection Act limit the power of wizards, thereby protecting the Muggle world from dark wizards and various magical items.
But in reality?
In fact, they are protecting themselves!
With major breakthroughs in genetic research in the 1970s and 1980s, various cloned animals emerged one after another, and the Muggle world has gained an overwhelming advantage in the field of biotechnology.
Once they discover the secrets of the magic world and wizards, they will definitely 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 of humans, even humans and beasts could probably be arranged for you.
When we realize that these wizards have the ability to control and clean other people's thoughts and memories, and can easily break into the most heavily defended places to steal intelligence, or even assassinate leaders of various countries and trigger a nuclear war that can destroy civilization, How will the top decision-makers of the two superpowers react?
I’m afraid I’ll be scared to death!
Under the control of strong fear, they will inevitably take many radical behaviors.
For example, artificial insemination is used to mass-produce children with the potential to become wizards, and then these children are centrally managed and brainwashed.
Then through various methods, a group of them were sent to the magic world as spies to receive education.
After you return from school, teach what you learned at school to other children who have the talent to become wizards.
When more than ten years have passed and the number of wizards controlled by the two superpowers exceeds that of the entire magical world, they will not hesitate to choose to go to war to completely eradicate this uncontrollable force.
In Zuo Si's view, the only chance for wizards to control the Muggle world is actually the revolution started by Gellert Grindelwald during World War I and World War II.
Unfortunately, it was eventually destroyed by Dumbledore.
"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 the technology mastered by Muggles is always viewed from the perspective of hundreds of years ago. Full of arrogant behavior
What is even more sad is that the entire magical world is now filled with such prejudice.
In the same way, the rules set by the four founders of Hogwarts are no longer suitable today.
Look at the relationship between Gryffindor House and Slytherin House. It has evolved from a simple competition between students to a kind of antagonism, hostility and hatred, and it has also evolved from The school extends to the social level.
Almost ninety percent of the students who graduated from Gryffindor House dislike students who graduated from Slytherin House.
Let’s not mention the conflict that broke out in the school.
But even when they enter the workforce after graduation, they will still make things difficult for each other.
And this kind of grievances will become more and more serious as time goes on, and eventually it will inevitably affect the children.
For example, the Weasley family has always been at odds with the Malfoy family. Even the children, including Ron, thought from the beginning that Slytherin was a bad place that specialized in training dark wizards.
On the other hand, Draco, under the influence of his father, believed that the Weasley family were a group of poor ghosts and traitors to the pure-blood family.
A magic school has become a place that breeds hatred and social conflicts. Isn’t this enough to illustrate the seriousness of the problem?
What is also incredible is that after so many years, no principal has ever tried to change this situation, not even our great Principal Dumbledore. ”
After saying these words, Zuo Si ignored the silent Bloody Barrow, stood up and walked towards Professor Snape's office.
Not long after he walked away with his front feet, another ghost floated down from the ceiling and asked in a slightly curious tone: "What other shocking remarks did he say to you?"
“This time can indeed be called shocking. This is the first time I have seen such a student since I became a ghost. Compared with him, Tom Riddle when he first entered school was nothing at all. What." Bloody Barrow responded in a low voice.
As the first batch of students since the establishment of Hogwarts, he has seen the Big Four with his own eyes. He has almost witnessed the thousand-year history of this magic school, and has also seen countless talented little wizards. .
But there has never been anyone who can break out of the limitations of thinking like Zuo Si and look down on everything from a higher position.
This layout and vision alone have surpassed all wizards.
If you add that terrifying talent, Bloody Barro doesn’t even know what amazing achievements he can achieve in the future.
......
Half an hour later, in Snape's office, Zuo Si was trying to prepare a very difficult veritaserum under the guidance of his dean.
Since this place is very close to the Slytherin common room, you can often hear footsteps coming from the corridor outside.
However, this small disturbance did not affect him in the slightest.
In just a few minutes, green and purple smoke came out of the pot, and it exuded a magical power that was invisible to the naked eye.
Seeing this scene, Snape, who was still stern at first, finally raised the corners of his mouth slightly and commented: "Well done. There are very few students at Hogwarts who can do it on the first try. Successfully brewed the perfect truth serum.
I didn’t expect that your talent in potions is not inferior to magic and alchemy.
If you spend a little time and effort in this area. With energy, you should be able to become a real potions master.”
"Thank you for the compliment. Aren't you curious as to why I prepared the truth serum?" Zuo Si asked with interest.
"Although it is illegal to use Veritaserum on someone casually, it will not cause any substantial harm unless he does something shady." Snape responded meaningfully .
“But there are more or less hidden secrets in everyone’s heart. Even if you don’t do anything shady, if you reveal too many thoughts that originally only existed in your mind, you may be exposed to the public. Death by sex. To a certain extent, the destructive power of this potion is no less than that of the three unforgivable curses."
As he spoke, Zuo Si poured the hot potion into the vessel. Allow to cool and then sprinkle with some fragrant powder from India.
After the temperature dropped to the critical point, he put the semi-finished potion into the roaster for baking.
In about twenty to thirty minutes, when the color of the potion changes from green-purple to white milky substance, the powerful truth serum is completed.
While baking, Zuo Si took out a silver hoop from his pocket and handed it to Snape.
The latter took it in his hand and checked the material for a while, and then tried it in an uncertain tone: "What is this?"
"An extension of the magic scroll production technology Product.
It can store a spell and then cast it on the wand when needed.
Since there is no need to recite a spell, it only requires a thought to activate it, so it can be released simultaneously when using another spell.
In this way, you can give your opponent two completely different blows in an instant.
Unfortunately, after testing, I found that a wand can only be equipped with at most one such magic device.
Otherwise, if you set a few more at once, you should be able to take a big advantage in the battle.
In addition, this device is not a disposable consumable like the scroll, but can be used repeatedly. ”
With a smile on his face, Zuo Si introduced to Snape the new magic storage equipment he had recently developed.
Similar to the castrated version of scroll transcription technology, this metal hoop can only work when put on a wand.
But for the wizards of this world, it is an out-and-out disruptive invention.
Looking at the slightly trembling hand, you can tell how excited Snape was at this moment.
You must know that he was once a member of the Death Eaters and has experienced many battles.
I know very well what role such a small thing can play at critical moments.
It is not an exaggeration to even describe it as turning the tide of the battle in an instant.
Snape can guarantee that those Aurors know that there is such a thing that can enhance their combat effectiveness, and they will definitely ask the Ministry of Magic to equip everyone with one, no matter how expensive it is.
After a full minute, he took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, then raised his head and asked: "Is it difficult to make this thing?"
"Well—— It should be fine.
If I were to make them, I should be able to make several in one day.
But the problem is, considering that each wizard has different magic levels, I need to figure out the power of the spell cast by this wizard before production.
For example, a powerful wizard like Principal Dumbledore needs some expensive special materials to increase the maximum capacity.
But for Hogwarts students, excessive capacity will cause waste.
To put it simply, one-to-one customization is required. ”
Zuo Si gave the answer calmly.
As we all know, the magic in this world has no restrictions and has auxiliary equipment such as wands, so it is very easy to use at will.
But similarly, it is precisely because it is too free and arbitrary that there is no clear standard for magical power.
Take the Avadava Kedavra as an example. When Voldemort casts it, he can be invincible and kill people instantly with a flash of green light.
But if it were used by other wizards, it might only cause the target to be slightly injured and have some nosebleeds at best.
In addition, there are many variations of various spells.
For example, the fierce fire released by ordinary wizards may be difficult to extinguish, but in the hands of Voldemort, it can transform into a huge fire snake.
The power of the same spell in the hands of different wizards can even give people the illusion that they are two magic spells.
So this chaotic situation has made it more difficult to create magic storage items, and only one-to-one customization can be done.
Fortunately!
Zuo Si had seen Snape cast spells more than once, so he could make equipment that matched the opponent's magic level.
“A great gift, I like it very much.
With this skill, I think you will soon become one of the most popular people in the entire magical world.
Because no wizard would not want to have some additional means of protecting himself
And as long as one person chooses to use it, other wizards must follow suit.
Otherwise, it is easy to suffer big losses in the spell duel. ”
Snape saw the development prospects of this small silver ring with almost no effort.
After all, even a flying broomstick can be used as a means of transportation. From being unpopular at the beginning, it is now popular in the entire magic world, not to mention something that can directly enhance the wizard's own strength.
Maybe in a few years, this thing will become as necessary as a wand for almost everyone.
“So how much do you think is appropriate to charge for this kind of customized service? "Zuo Si asked humbly.
Snape replied without thinking: "After deducting the cost, each one will cost at least two thousand gold galleons. If you are a member of a rich pure-blood family, you can consider multiplying the price by three or five. Anyway, as long as you are above Carve the emblem of the corresponding family and they will be happy to pay a little more."
"I understand. Thank you very much for your advice. I think I know what to do."
Zuo Si. A trademark smile appeared on his face when he was slaughtering a fat sheep.
Although he didn't like the faces of families like Malfoy who advocated pure blood theory at all, he didn't hate the gold Galleons in their hands.
In addition, successfully establishing a stable shelter in this world requires a lot of financial support.
This includes both Muggle currency and gold galleons cast by goblins.
“Remember not to overdo it, at least make the finished product look worthwhile.”
Snape was obviously a little uneasy about Zuo Si’s character, and finally couldn’t help but remind him One sentence.
Zuo Si nodded meaningfully: "Don't worry, professor. When dealing with customers who are willing to pay a big price, I will be very happy to provide the best service to ensure that they are willing to shell out the last gold in their pockets. Galleon."
"Your current tone and expression remind me of those mercenary goblins in Gringotts." The corner of Snape's mouth twitched slightly.
Zuo Si smiled and responded: "But you have to admit that those goblins are indeed better than many wizards in doing business, aren't they?
