Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

The process of engraving runes is a bit troublesome. The main reason is that the lathe cannot be used for concealed engraving operations, and the inscription accuracy is also relatively poor. After all, machines are still relatively rigid compared to humans. At his current level, he cannot make the machine work on a curved surface.

Inscribed on it.

But this can be settled first. At worst, all the standard equipment will be made with clear engraving techniques, and the areas where runes are engraved will all be made flat. The beautifully shaped talismans in his hands will all be made of metal like coins.

Come on, be ugly.

What worries him the most now is the magic power. Since it is an automated magic lathe, how can it lack energy?

But if you want to engrave runes, you have to use magic power as energy. At least when inscribing runes, you must use magic power. But after Anduin's calculations, you can simply use these 'energy-absorbing spell arrays' at home to extract the stored energy.

Magic power is not enough to support a lathe working for a long time.

Do you want me to input magic power into the lathe myself? Anduin thought this would be too big.

The magic power required to drive the lathe, plus the magic power required for the alchemy tools engraved with runes, the magic power transmission and control of the magic machinery cannot be very efficient, and there will definitely be some losses along the way.

Based on this calculation, the magic power required to make an ordinary protective talisman with a lathe is three times the magic power consumed by Anduin to make a talisman himself.

Then even if he, Qiqi and Hogg were included, they wouldn't be able to work for long even if they were exhausted.

Moreover, they have given their magic power to the lathe, and they have no need to use magic power themselves. This road is obviously unworkable.

What about hiring someone to replenish the magic power? This would be more cost-effective than directly hiring experienced hands who could help engrave runes, but he didn't want to expose the secret instrument of the lathe.

With the magic lathe, he can mass-produce alchemy equipment while maintaining a price advantage, so that even if someone imitates it, he can't take away his business.

After all, the selling price of alchemy items is lower than the cost of piracy, so no one would bother to piracy.

When Anduin was worrying about the drawings, the air in front of his workbench suddenly stirred, and then a house elf in plain clothes appeared holding a tray.

It was Qiqi who had appeared in apparition.

"Master, it's lunch, do you want to take a rest?" Qiqi jumped up and placed the tray on an empty space on the workbench, reminding her softly.

"Oh, thank you." Anduin was stunned for a moment and glanced at the clock next to him. Only then did he realize that he had been thinking about it all morning, and it was even past lunch time.

"Today I followed the menu you taught me before, using Tebo warthog blood to make Maoxuewang, braised lion's head, stir-fried green beans and rice." Qiqi carefully placed the tray next to Anduin.

before, and then introduced in a somewhat showy tone.

"Well, it's well done." Anduin praised sincerely after tasting a few bites of the food.

Not only is Qiqi's personality now much more confident and lively than at the beginning, but her cooking skills have also improved rapidly. Since arriving in Diagon Alley, Anduin's daily life has been basically taken care of by her.

It should be said that he is indeed a house elf. He is so good at using household magic that even Anduin is used to and dependent on such a life.

"By the way, where's Hogg? Is he still competing with that sofa on the second floor?" Anduin asked jokingly about Hogg's situation while eating.

This husky is always restless. It has been restless since it followed Anduin to his home in Diagon Alley. At first, it just patrolled around like a boss, and then started to scurry around in Diagon Alley.

At first, Anduin's neighbors actually liked this cute silly dog ​​when they saw it. They would tease him and play with him from time to time, and occasionally feed him some food.

But since he bit off Ms. Purnell’s table leg next door, knocked over two rows of wand shelves at Ollivander’s, bit a Gringotts goblin, and peed in front of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore for two days in a row, he always stared at her.

After the round-faced fat chicken in the Eela Owl Shop drooled.

Finally, he became the rat crossing the street that everyone yelled at in Diagon Alley. Even Tom would shout "Merlin's Beard" when he saw him. Now Hogg has reached the point where all shops in Diagon Alley are refused entry.

A grand slam.

This also made Anduin extremely embarrassed. In the first few days, he had to lead Hogg to apologize to others, just like a child hitting someone at home.

Since then, Anduin has strictly monitored Hogg and has not allowed him to run out and cause trouble. This guy's wild behavior really doesn't make people worry at all.

But Hogg, who couldn't go out, couldn't relax at all every day, and then he started to do things in the house. He was either fighting with tables, chairs, and benches, or he just didn't like the pots and pans. In the past two days, he seemed to hate the sofa on the second floor, always

To bite it to pieces.

Fortunately, Anduin knows magic, so these minor injuries can be repaired with just a wand. If you like, bite them if you like.

However, he didn't dare to let Hogg run into the basement. It would be troublesome if he damaged the half-finished magic equipment or magic circle.

"He seems to have changed his gender today. He no longer bites the sofa, but scratches the thing called a desk lamp that the owner brought back." Qiqi recalled the scene she saw in the morning and said.

"That's nonsense. I bought that equipment for research, so don't damage it." Anduin stood up quickly after hearing this. He had to warn Hogg not to act too recklessly.

Anduin always likes to buy some electrical appliances from the Muggle world, mainly because he wants to study the internal circuits, wiring, motherboards, etc., and see if it can provide some inspiration for the development of his lathe, rune array, and alchemy props.

There is no electricity in the corner alley, and these electrical appliances cannot be turned on. I don’t know if they are broken or not.

After hastily finishing his meal, Anduin took Qiqi and apparated to the second floor. When he appeared, he saw Hogg working there.

I saw Hogg lifting his hips and arching his back, sticking out his butt and facing the tall desk lamp Anduin bought a few meters away. He also activated the floating cannon on his tactical vest and kept twisting his butt to adjust the position and aim.

.

By the time Anduin's phantom appeared, the floating cannon on Hogg's back had already begun to flash with wisps of electric light.

"Don't!" When Anduin saw this scene, he just felt like shit in his heart, and he quickly stopped him loudly.

Hogg's heart skipped a beat when he suddenly heard Anduin's voice, knowing that he was going to play something wrong and had been discovered.

But at this time, he could no longer hold back. In order to avoid being scolded for a while, he had to quickly shrink his magic power, but the floating cannon on his back still fired, and a thin current beam solidly hit the table lamp in front of him.
