Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

"Good question." Nick nodded approvingly, "As the only person left in the world who has had direct contact with Haierbo, I naturally have the method to identify him."

After saying that, magic power suddenly surged in Nick's body, and then a dangerous wave radiated from him as the center. This magic wave could directly affect and interfere with the nerves of surrounding creatures, causing people to involuntarily feel panic.

"You should be able to recognize this magic, right?" Nick, who was constantly emitting magic, looked at Anduin with a smile.

"This is a fear spell."

Anduin could see the magic used by Nick at a glance, and he knew this fear spell himself. He even covered and used it on a large scale in the previous copy of Despair Town.

"It seems that you are no stranger to it, that's good." Nick put away the magic with satisfaction, "Since you know this magic, you should also know that it was created by Haierbo."

Anduin nodded. This was no secret to wizards who were familiar with history and spell science. Haierbo invented a lot of black magic back then, and fear spells can be said to be his famous skills.

"Judging from the experience we gathered back then, a large area where Haier Waves are active is covered with a very high concentration of fear spells. Even Muggles in that place can detect abnormalities."

"In the past few hundred years, we have also heard many rumors about people breaking into frightening and mysterious spaces."

"It's just that when we followed the rumors, we still couldn't catch Haierbo's tail, but occasionally we could still sense traces of the other party's past. Unfortunately, the information was too lagging, making it easy for us to miss it."

"So, as long as you crash into an area with a fear spell, it may be Haierbo's hiding place. It will be much easier to search for it."

Then Nick took out another piece of parchment from his body and handed it to Anduin, "This is a special spell I developed specifically for detecting fear."

"As long as it is an alchemical item engraved with this talisman, it can quickly identify whether there is a fear spell in the surrounding area and issue an early warning."

"With it, coupled with your magic network and a large number of alchemy tools connecting the magic network..." Nico introduced it while looking at Anduin meaningfully.

At this time, Anduin looked at the blueprint in his hand with a speechless expression.

Somehow, he suddenly felt like he had been fooled. Wasn't this old guy Nick too well prepared? Even the drawings were prepared in advance.

Originally, Anduin thought he was here to raise an army to question the enemy, but now he realized that he seemed to have fallen into a trap carefully designed by the other party.

Anduin naturally understood what Nick meant. He wanted him to install a backdoor in his alchemy tools specifically for monitoring fear spells.

As soon as an abnormality is discovered, Nick is notified, and then Helbo is done.

But this kind of thing is not as simple as imagined in practice.

First of all, the Magic Network has not yet been fully rolled out. If you want to cover such a large area quickly, it will take several years.

And installing a backdoor into the communicator, although it is not difficult for him, is not a small project either.

From the drawings, he could see how complicated the spell was, which would greatly increase the material cost, production cost and production cycle of the communicator.

The advantage of the Magic Network is that as long as it expands, it can seamlessly connect various regions together like the Internet, with almost no national boundaries.

This is more unified and more efficient than the alchemy rooms established in the Ministry of Magic of various countries. Nick must have considered this before focusing on his magic network.

Looking at it this way, the Magic Network may be the other party's only option at the moment.

After Anduin thought clearly, he suddenly turned serious and said, "Then what price is Mr. Flamel willing to pay for this?"

He was not willing to work for Nick in vain. Even though the other party described Halbo as a heinous person and how upright his actions were, the one who really worked hard was Anduin!

It’s not okay to let him work without some benefit!

Seeing Anduin putting on such a businesslike attitude, Nick couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder the other party could make the business so big. He was really a guy who didn't let go of the rabbit before he saw it.

"Don't worry, I won't let your help go in vain. As for the reward..." Nick glanced at the wooden box that had not been put away on the table, "How about paying with the magic stone?"

"In addition, as long as you are willing to help, the knowledge I have collected here can be opened to you. At the same time, I will also use my influence to promote the process of laying the magic net for you. After all, the wider the magic net is, the more Haier can be found.

The greater the chance of a wave.”

"You are willing to part with the Philosopher's Stone? It is vital to your life!"

To be honest, Anduin didn't expect Nick to behave so generously. He even doubted whether the other party had never conducted business negotiations.

He was all in whenever anyone came up, and for a while Anduin couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Haha..." Nick was very calm when talking about life and death. "For an old man who has lived for hundreds of years, death is not as terrible as imagined. In comparison, loneliness and depression are more terrifying.

pain."

"I have been running away for too long. If I can kill this enemy in my lifetime, it will be more gratifying than eternal life."

"Of course, before I completely hand over the Magic Stone to you, I will prepare enough elixirs for myself and Perenal."

"I understand." Nick's realization moved Anduin, "Okay, I am willing to accept your proposal. Starting from next week, the new communicators will be equipped with a spell to detect fear. As long as I find the corresponding spell in the background,

If there are any clues, we will notify you as soon as possible.”

Nick did not immediately show joy after hearing this, but instead confirmed again, "This process may take several years, more than ten years, and may even never yield any results, which means that the time and resources you invest may never end.

Have you thought about it?"

"The reward you gave is worth my investment. If you are worried that I will regret it, we can sign an unbreakable oath for this." Anduin said with a calm expression.

In fact, he only agreed after some calculations and considerations. In terms of cost alone, it will not directly lead to losses, but only make less money. This depends on his efficient industrial system. If replaced by other alchemy companies,

But I can't take on such a big job.

"Okay, we will make a contract later." Faced with this serious matter, Nick would not be so naive as to trust Anduin based solely on Anduin's verbal guarantee. An unbreakable oath is the basis of trust.

Afterwards, the two finalized the details. Anduin would leave with Dumbledore later, and return here alone to sign the contract the next day. At that time, Perenal would serve as their notary.

As for the Philosopher's Stone, Nick must be returned to Nick for half a year first so that he can stockpile enough elixir of life. Anduin actually said that even if the Philosopher's Stone is in his possession, he can still supply the elixir of life for the two of them.

But Nick politely declined, and Anduin could see that the old man wanted to end his life from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps the other party has arranged a death date for himself, and whether Anduin can find Halbo or not, he will resolutely come to an end.

As for the information and knowledge collected by Nick, Anduin can come and read it at will, and Nick also said that he will teach his skills to others.

After finalizing the agreement, Anduin returned to his original state and chatted with Dumbledore and Flamel about various matters.

Although Dumbledore guessed what happened between Anduin and Nick, he did not inquire more out of politeness and just left the place after having dinner with the Flamel couple.

In the next few days, Anduin traveled back and forth between the French manor, Flamel's house, and the British headquarters.

On the one hand, he had to stop the existing production line of communicators, video cameras and other props and switch to new manufacturing drawings. This workload was not small, and Anduin spent three nights in a row to barely complete it.

On the other hand, Anduin was also very interested in the knowledge collected by Nick, so despite his busy work schedule, he was eager to squeeze in some time to study every day.

As for the French Valley Manor, Anduin basically used it as a transit point. Every time he showed up, he just passed by in a flash. He didn't even have time to care about what those little brats were doing.

After solving the problem of the production line, Anduin focused his main energy on Flamel's family, as if he was back in his student days, absorbing magic knowledge to his heart's content.

It has to be said that Nick Flamel is indeed the greatest alchemist in the world. He has collected a large amount of magical information rarely seen in the world, which is not only alchemy, but also history, encyclopedias, magic texts, spells, and magic.

Medicines, etc.

There are many magical documents that have disappeared from the long river of history, many of which Anduin only said he had heard of, or only collected a small part of them, including rare spells such as 'Soul Tracing'.

But unfortunately, even here in Nick, there are not many new clues about the Deathly Hallows.

It seems that after obtaining the Philosopher's Stone, Nick lost interest in the Three Sacred Artifacts that claimed to be the master of Death, so he did not collect corresponding information specifically.

In terms of what is most helpful and valuable to the current Anduin, it is the material formula, especially the magic alloy formula.

Yes, Anduin learned how to make Flamende.

Of course, that's not to say that Lemay Alloy is really that simple to make. It just has a relatively high threshold, because the main raw material for making this rare alloy is the Magic Stone.

A derivative produced by the Philosopher's Stone must be used to synthesize the real Flamel alloy, and except for the Philosopher's Stone, the other auxiliary materials are not very expensive.

In other words, as long as he has the magic stone, which is a rarer material than refined mithril, he can now get almost anything he wants.

However, Anduin was curious as to why Nick didn't produce more Lemay alloys. This material has a very high threshold but is cheap in cost. Its overall performance can almost beat other alloys on the market.

The answer Nick gave was because he was afraid of trouble...

On the material level, he does not have many demands, and letting too much flamen alloy flow into the market will also make the already sensitive goblins feel a sense of crisis, which is likely to cause panic.

It would be very troublesome if he accidentally caused another goblin war, so he would only release a small amount of Flamel Alloy every once in a while.

This can tell the world that he is still alive, and that flamen alloy, a material that can compete with fairy alloy, still exists in an appropriate amount, so as to balance the relationship between fairies and wizards.

Because there is no flamemei alloy, some extreme wizards may start a war because they covet the alloy formula in the hands of fairies. This is what triggered the potion war back then.

But if there are too many flamen alloys, the goblins may start riots or wars because they are afraid that their magic alloys will be squeezed out of the market.

Even though such a small piece of magic metal has a huge impact on the pattern of the wizarding world, Nick is afraid of causing trouble, so he neither dares not to release Flamen alloy nor can he supply too much.

Even after Anduin obtained the formula of Flamel Alloy, Nick specifically told him not to let this material leak out too much, which would affect the market balance.

However, for this reason, the price of Lemay alloy on the market is really ridiculously high. Anduin also understands this very well, so Nick is not lying when he says that he is never short of money. He occasionally buys one or two pieces.

You can make a lot of money from alloys.

Even Nick is puzzled as to why Andu is so obsessed with making money.

Regarding this point, Anduin naturally did not explain too much to the other party. Did he want to make money? He was spreading his influence, and to a certain extent, influence is equivalent to power!

In addition to Lemay alloy, Anduin also received many other material formulas, many of which he had never even heard of.

For example, there is a rubber-like material in the records that has a strong impact resistance effect, but it was regarded as a defective product because its magic-blocking effect was too good.

But in Anduin's eyes, this is the best armor material. Tactical uniforms made from it can both absorb shock and resist magic damage.

For this reason, after Anduin absorbed new knowledge from the Flamel family, he returned to the laboratory non-stop to tinker with new props, and his life was extremely fulfilling.

It wasn't until one day when Hogg and Shalltear came over to remind him that Anduin realized that more than a month had passed, and that school would even start in half a month.

This discovery made Anduin dumbfounded. He was obviously here on vacation, but why was he even busier than before the summer vacation?

There were also those naughty kids. He hadn't even seen them much during this period, and he didn't know how happy these kids were getting along with Sirius.

And when he put down what he was doing and returned to the manor to see everyone, he was shocked at what they had experienced during this time.

The latest first release.
