One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 233 Don't Underestimate The Power Of Technology

Chapter 233 Don't Underestimate the Power of Technology

Except for the two parties involved, no one knows what happened in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.

But when Rita Skeeter walked out, she no longer had the arrogant and aggressive posture before, but was as docile as a dog tamed by its master.

Whether it is the attitude or tone of speaking, there has been a 180-degree turn.

Not only that, but she also praised Zuo Si as much as she could, and said that she would definitely write a special report after she went back to let wizards all over the world know that there is such a genius who is destined to lead a new era in Hogwarts.

Obviously, this sudden change made other colleagues very uncomfortable.

Especially the reporter from "Wizard Weekly", who understands this colleague's style and way of doing things better than anyone else, can't understand whether the other party's mind has been caught by the door, or there is something wrong behind Zuo Si. Because of the power or family that has been formed, it will show a completely different appearance from usual.

But before the middle-aged man could open his mouth to probe, Rita Skeeter left Hogwarts in a hurry and left Hogwarts as if fleeing for her life.

Because whenever 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 very real.

Needless to ask, Rita Skeeter has inevitably experienced persistent phantom pain under the torture of the Cruciatus Curse for half an hour.

It's just that she doesn't know whether this situation is a temporary stress reaction or a nightmare that will accompany her for the rest of her life.

However, Zuo Si will not have the slightest bit of kindness and compassion for this kind of crap who spreads rumors, smears, and fabricates fake news to mislead the public all day long.

If it weren't for Hogwarts' inconvenient start, he would even use Rita Skeeter to test the three Unforgivable Curses 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 making Horcruxes that were later taken away by Dumbledore and hidden away, the rest of the spells and materials can be found in the restricted area of ​​the Hogwarts library, and even many senior students can master one or two of them proficiently. indivual.

It's just that it's not easy to use most of the time.

"What did you do to Rita Skeeter?" Dumbledore asked meaningfully.

"It's nothing, I just gave her a little warning." Zuo Si replied evasively.

Dumbledore obviously didn't expect that this "little warning" was actually tormenting a person with the Cruciatus Curse for half an hour. He thought it was just a threat or intimidation, and immediately shook his head with a smile He sighed: "You are really young and energetic. But promise me, don't do this next time. You must know that this method may be used once or twice, but there will always be problems if you use it too much. Once you are marked It is very difficult to take off the label of the dark wizard."

But Zuo Si shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I don't care. Compared with these trivial matters, when are you going to deal with the possessed Professor Quirrell? You must know that he is currently on the black Defense Against Magic is a disaster and a waste of all the students' time."

"Oh? How do you know that Professor Quirrell is possessed?" Dumbledore was surprised.

He thought that this secret was well hidden, at least except for a few professors, the students should not know it.

"I can smell the rotten, cursed, weak and painful smell coming from the soul even tens of meters away." Zuo Si gave the answer straightforwardly.

With divine power and the energy transformed from it, identifying Voldemort's battered soul was as easy as eating and drinking.

Since he tore his own soul more than once to make Horcruxes, this guy's soul was inferior to a newborn baby, or a remnant soul torn apart by necromantic magic.

It may be because of this that Voldemort desires immortality no matter what.

Because once dead, with his soul state, he might not even be able to cross the boundary between the world of the living and the dead.

"Have you read the book about the soul?"

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 foolish than creating horcruxes for the purpose of immortality.

For a person, the soul is the most special and important thing, even life cannot compare with it.

But for a so-called eternal life, a certain second-rate wizard tore his soul to pieces. It was like throwing watermelons and picking sesame seeds. "

"Then what would you do if it were you?" Dumbledore tentatively narrowed his eyes.

"There are many ways.

For example, by using magic to fundamentally transform oneself into a long-lived race;

Or delve into the unique form of the ghost, and then abandon the body and live forever in the form of a pure soul;

No matter how bad it is, you can use alchemy items such as the magic stone to forcibly slow down the rate of physical decay.

In short, there are many ways for people to avoid death, but making Horcruxes is undoubtedly the one with the most serious consequences.

What's more, each split Horcrux is equivalent to an independent personality, how can it be guaranteed that it will be itself when it wakes up? "

Zuo Si raised 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 things that are extremely complicated.

Therefore, if a person "backs up" his current state, and then "reads the file" after a sudden death after a period of time, he will inevitably lose the part of the memory that is not "saved".

Then when the "backup" is resurrected, is this person still the original person?

At least in Zuo Si's view, the previous person is dead, and what's left is just a clone or copy that inherited most of the person's memory.

Unless one can create a soulless body like [Static Cloning], and then after one's own body is destroyed, the soul carries all the memories and is directly reborn on the backup body, which can be regarded as real resurrection and immortality.

"You mean...every time that person dies, there will inevitably be slight changes from the original personality?"

Dumbledore's eyes shone slightly, obviously surprised by this novel theory.

If this deduction is correct, then Tom Riddle's Horcruxes are not as terrifying as he imagined.

the reason is simple!

Because the split soul pieces haven't experienced failure first-hand, they never learn their lesson and retain that swaggering character flaw.

Zuo Si shook his head slightly: "I don't know. I haven't seen Voldemort himself, and I don't know his current state and thoughts.

But one thing is certain, that is, apart from his accomplishments in spells and magic, there is nothing worthy of praise.

Both the pattern and the vision are narrow and terrifying, just like a paranoid lunatic holding a dangerous weapon, there is no rationality in his head at all. "

According to the Faerun camp, Voldemort is undoubtedly an out-and-out chaotic evil.

He may be really smart and good at planning and calculations, but his freewheeling personality determines that he will never be able to strictly implement the plans he made.

Maybe when the temper comes up, there will be some troubles.

"How do you think I should deal with Professor Quirrell and the remnant soul attached to him?" Dumbledore took off his glasses and rubbed his dry eyes and asked.

"Didn't you already have a plan?

For example, cultivate the wisdom, courage and guts of the savior and his companions, and set up adventure games one after another for this purpose.

To be honest, before I entered Hogwarts, I had never heard of a school whose teachers could be partial to such a degree.

Whether it's you or Professor Snape, the so-called Academy Cup full of honor has turned into a huge joke and black humor. "

Zuo Si expressed her views crisply, and made no secret of her disdain for this behavior.

Dumbledore sighed with a wry smile, and didn't intend to explain at all, but just responded in a slightly low tone: "We have to do this because of our last resort. You must understand that Harry shoulders an extremely important task." His 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, sacrifice the most important fairness of a magic school?

If you, the rule maker and the enforcer, don't abide by it.

So how long do you think these rules will last?

Dear 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 backlashed by the rules.

Finally, thank you for recommending my note to the International Confederation of Wizards and the Wizengamot. "

After saying this, Zuo Si bowed slightly with one hand on her chest, then turned and left without looking back.

After his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Dumbledore raised his head and asked Nicole Flamel, who was standing beside him, who hadn't spoken a bit: "How, my old friend, what do you think of him?"

"As a wizard, South's performance is perfect, and it can even be said that he has all the qualities necessary to be a great wizard.

For example, the intelligence beyond ordinary people, the most powerful magical talent I have seen so far, as well as the unique way of thinking, and the independent will that will never go along with others.

If the blood of the Dumbledore family really flows through him, then the future must be limitless. "

Nicole Flamel excitedly gave a very high evaluation.

To be exact, he couldn't remember the last time he was so excited, and thought that this calm state of mind would last until the end of his life.

"What about his character? Don't you think he is too indifferent a lot of the time? He didn't even make many friends in school." Dumbledore reminded.

But Nicole Flamel smiled and shook his head: "No, I don't think so at all.

Because South's indifference stems from his extraordinary intelligence and reason.

After all, you can't force a genius who has the same adult wizards, or even surpasses most adult wizards, to behave like an ordinary eleven-year-old child.

If that's the case, you have to be extra careful. "

"I understand what you mean. That's how Tom Riddle successfully deceived most of the professors in the school. By the way, did South ask you about the Sorcerer's Stone?" Dumbledore said bluntly asked.

"No, we just exchanged some experience about alchemy. In fact, he has already guessed the truth that I can create the Philosopher's Stone. As long as he is willing, he should be able to create his own magic in a few more years. stone."

When speaking these words, Nicole Flamel's eyes shone with a strange brilliance.

As a contemporary top alchemist, he naturally hoped that the skill of making the Sorcerer's Stone would continue to be passed on after his death.

But it is a pity that the talents taught by Nicole Flamel are a bit unsatisfactory in this area, and they are not enough to understand the complex and subtle mysteries of the Philosopher's Stone.

But the appearance of Zuo Si made him realize that this is the only person who can truly pass on the manufacturing technology of the Sorcerer's Stone.

"You handed him your alchemy notes?!" Dumbledore raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

Nicole Flamel replied very simply: "Yes, I gave Soth my alchemy notes as a gift. Because I believe that he will surpass you and me one day and become the proud man of heaven who will lead the next era. "

"Aren't you worried that he'll be the next Dark Lord?"

"No, it won't. Don't forget the approval he showed when he talked about the rapid development of the Muggle world in the last two or three hundred years. I don't think such a person will end up with the Muggle world like Tom and Gellert Full of hostility. So give up your unnecessary worries." Nicole Flamel advised earnestly.

He was so aware of how much Voldemort's incident had caused his friend's psychological shadow, so that whenever he saw a smart and talented little wizard, he would involuntarily raise his vigilance.

"Well, I hope you're right."

Dumbledore didn't argue too much on this topic, but he also wouldn't 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.

Fortunately for him, Zuo Si had at least a fairly 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 the Daily Prophet and Wizards Weekly were owled to Hogwarts.

Amidst the shock and admiration, the students of the whole school cast their eyes on Zuo Si who was always sitting alone in the corner and fiddling with something.

Because on the headlines of these two influential media in the magic world, there is a photo of his activities, as well as a lot of praise from authoritative organizations and well-known wizards.

In particular, Rita Skeeter's article continued her usual exaggerated style, almost touting Zuo Si as a rising star in the wizarding world, destined to leave a strong mark in the history of wizards.

Some of these nasty words are simply disgusting.

Of course, for those young wizards who were always thinking about how to get the limelight among their classmates, such flattery was just right to stir up the turmoil in their hearts.

If it weren't for Zuo Si's usual attitude of not allowing strangers to enter, it would have been surrounded by the inner three floors and the outer three floors by now.

"The Order of Merlin, Second Class! A ten-thousand-gold Galleon bonus from the International Federation of Wizards, a ten-thousand-gold Galleon bonus from the Wizengamot, and a five-thousand-gold Galleon bonus from the British Ministry of Magic. Merlin's beard! This ...This is too exaggerated."

Ron held the Daily Prophet in his hand and exclaimed in an extremely envious tone.

Whether it was a medal or a bonus of twenty-five thousand galleons in total, they were all things that he longed for with an extremely low self-esteem in his heart.

Not to mention the fame and honor that comes with it.

"Don't forget that there is also the share that can be obtained after the book is published. The newspaper said that so far, the Ministry of Magic and magic schools in many countries have indicated that they will take the scroll manufacturing technology invented by Soth as a compulsory course. Just This income will be considerable." Harry reminded in a low voice.

"Oh, if only I could get such a sum of money, it doesn't need much, just a few hundred Galleons." Ron muttered softly.

Hermione, who was sitting next to her and reviewing her homework, rolled her eyes angrily when she heard it: "Stop daydreaming. As long as you can spend some time playing around, you won't even need to copy other people's homework."

"Damn it! Can't you stop my hopes for a better future?" Ron knocked the table down with his fist angrily.

"That's not your expectation of the future, but your unrealistic delusion. Because from the beginning to the end, you didn't put in even the slightest effort, so how could you reap the rewards? Forget it, talking to you about this is simply Wasting time."

With that said, Hermione cast a disappointed look at the silly boy, then picked up the books and textbooks and walked towards the library.

Seeing her receding back, Ron only felt very upset, and immediately gritted his teeth and complained: "Granger is such a nasty guy. I really don't understand how South can stand her. You know she is in Grid Ryffindor doesn't even have a decent friend."

"South doesn't have many friends in Slytherin. I think smart people like them may have higher requirements for friends." Harry spread his hands tiredly.

It can be seen that the Quidditch training in the past two nights has really tossed him a lot.

Flight training, in particular, consumes a lot of energy.

Even before going to bed, I need to eat more snacks and snacks to fill my always hungry appetite.

"Forget it, let's not talk about them. How is your recent training?"

Ron got very excited when it came to Quidditch.

After all, the fact that his best friend was exceptionally promoted as a Seeker in the first grade brought him a lot of capital that he could show off to his students.

Harry smiled and replied, "Wood said I'm very talented, and our names will be engraved on the Quidditch trophy this year."

"Amazing! I can't wait to see the Gryffindor House games this year."

"Hey, I'm actually looking forward to the day when I can play."

"I bet Malfoy would be mad with jealousy."

"Actually he's going mad right now. This guy must have guessed how I won my last midnight duel."

"Hahahaha! But the problem is that he has no evidence to prove it, doesn't he?"

"Yes! I like to see Malfoy with a stinking face all day long."

...

Just when Harry and Ron were whispering together, a man and a woman had passed through the crowd and came straight to Zuo Si under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

"Hello, my name is Penelope Clearwater, and I'm the prefect of Rawen Crow."

"My name is Percy, and I'm the prefect of Gryffindor."

The two made a brief self-introduction almost at the same time.

"What's the matter?" Zuo Si asked blankly.

"That's right. We read about your invention of making magic scrolls in the Daily Prophet, so I would like to invite you to take the time to guide some senior students who are interested in this aspect in your spare time."

Percy bluntly stated the idea that he had been thinking about for two days.

In his opinion, the other party should not refuse this kind of invitation that can establish prestige and gain power in the school.

But Zuo Si didn't even move her eyelids, and she refused directly: "Sorry, my time is precious, and I don't have time to waste it on such meaningless and boring things.

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 maybe you guys had ulterior motives and planned to use this as an excuse to get close? "

moment!

Percy, who was full of confidence one second, turned red in the next second, with anger and annoyance in his eyes.

He never dreamed that Zuo Si would be so shameless.

Especially those black pupils, as if they saw through themselves.

"Don't you want to be popular at school?"

Penelope Clearwater had a very puzzled and puzzled expression on his face.

The female prefect of Raven Crow originally thought that Zuo Si, who was isolated and excluded 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, whether they despise, isolate, exclude, or fear, they have no effect on me. So please put away those careful thoughts and stay away, and don't bother me again Me. Do you understand?"

While saying these words, Zuo Si's eyes gleamed with a sharp cold light, and her seemingly not strong body revealed an indescribable sense of oppression, which immediately made Penelope Clearwater and Percy, who thought they were smart, fall into despair and flee.

The two teenage boys and girls didn't understand at all that he had only used Hogwarts as a springboard to enter the wizarding world from the very beginning, and he didn't intend to recruit subordinates in the school like Voldemort did.

So this kind of fellowship between students didn't appeal to him at all.

"You shouldn't use those insulting words to describe the students in your college."

Bloody Baro suddenly appeared from under the table, with a strong reproach in his tone.

If it was another student, I'm afraid Cheng would be quite frightened by his face and tone.

But Zuo Si responded very contemptuously: "What, did it stimulate your poor self-esteem and sense of belonging to Slytherin House again?

Even Salazar Slytherin I wouldn't retract my comment.

The era of pure blood is gone, and no one can stop the trend of history.

In other words, the theory of pure blood did not form the so-called mainstream in the magic world from the very beginning.

Because half-blood 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 back to find their Muggle-born ancestors. "

"But you can't deny the excellence of pure blood. Because the talents and powers of wizards are inherited through blood. This is a fact that no one can change." Bloodman Baro argued.

It is not difficult to see 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 looking at a frog in a well.

"Isn't it?" Bloody Baro asked back.

"Of course not. Have you ever heard of genes?

Ever heard of test-tube babies in the Muggle world?

Have you heard of cloning technology?

In the field of life research, Muggles have already surpassed the magic world.

On the premise of abandoning ethics and morality, as long as some male or female genetic material is provided, they can even produce children with the potential to become wizards in batches.

Even within a few hundred years, the planet under your feet can be transformed into a world where everyone is a wizard.

So don't underestimate the power of technology.

Muggles are no longer able to be manipulated by wizards like hundreds of years ago, but are becoming more and more powerful. Maybe one day they will notice the existence of wizards and the wizarding world.

At that time, it won't be a matter of a Muggle expulsion spell. "

Zuo Si bluntly stated a cruel fact that is enough to make the magic world feel fear and despair.

Because in the eyes of many wizards, the Act of Secrecy and the Muggle Protection Act limit the power of wizards, thereby protecting the world of Muggles from black wizards and various magical items.

But actually?

In fact, they are protecting themselves!

With the 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 wizarding world and wizards, they will 100% 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 between humans, even humans and beasts can be arranged for you.

Realizing that these wizards have the ability to control and clean other people's minds and memories, they can easily break into the most heavily guarded places to steal information, even assassinate the leaders of various countries and trigger a nuclear war capable of destroying civilization. The upper echelons of the two superpowers How will policymakers react?

I'm afraid I'll be scared to death!

Under the domination of strong fear, they will inevitably make many radical behaviors.

For example, through artificial insemination, a large number of children who have the potential to become wizards are produced, and then these children are centrally managed and brainwashed.

Immediately afterwards, through various methods, a group of them were sent to the magic world as spies to receive education.

After returning from school, teach the rest of the children who have the talent to become wizards what they have learned from school.

When more than ten years have passed and the number of wizards mastered by the two superpowers exceeds the entire magic world, they will choose to go to war without hesitation to completely wipe out this uncontrolled force.

According to Zuo Si, 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.

It's a pity that it was finally destroyed by Dumbledore.

"What? Muggles have the ability to mass-produce wizards? 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 it is an act full of arrogance to always look at the technology mastered by Muggles from hundreds of years ago.

What's even more sad is that the entire wizarding world is now filled with such a prejudice everywhere.

By the same token, the rules set by the four founders of Hogwarts are no longer suitable today.

Looking at the relationship between Gryffindor College and Slytherin College, it has long since evolved from a simple competition among students to a kind of antagonism, hostility and hatred, and it has also extended from the school to the social level.

Almost 90% of the students who graduated from Gryffindor House did not like the students who graduated from Slytherin House.

Not to mention the conflicts that broke out in the school.

But even if they enter the work after graduation, they will stumbling each other and make trouble for each other.

And this kind of grievance will become more and more as time goes on, and it will inevitably affect the children in the end.

For example, the Weasley family has always been at odds with the Malfoy family, and even the children, including Ron, thought that Slytherin was a bad place for cultivating dark wizards from the very beginning.

In turn, Della Branch, under the influence of his father, believes that the Weasley family is a group of poor ghosts and betrayers of pure-blood families.

May I ask that a magic school has become a place where hatred and social conflicts are bred, isn't this enough to explain the seriousness of the problem?

It's also incredible that after all these years, no headmaster, not even our great Headmaster Dumbledore, has tried to change that. "

After saying these words, Zuo Si ignored the blood man Barrow who fell into silence, stood up and walked towards Professor Snape's office.

Not long after he left, another ghost floated down from the ceiling on his back, and asked in a slightly curious tone, "What shocking words did he tell you?"

"This time can indeed be called shocking. Since I became a ghost, this is the first time I have seen such a student. Compared with him, Tom Riddle when he just entered school is nothing at all." Blood Man 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 he has also seen countless talented young wizards.

But there has never been any one who can jump out of the limitation of thinking like Zuo Si, and look down on everything from a higher position.

This pattern and vision alone surpassed all wizards.

If that terrifying talent is added, Bloodman Barrow 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 concoct a very difficult veritaserum under the guidance of his headmaster.

Since it is so close to the Slytherin common room, footsteps can often be heard in the corridor outside.

But this little disturbance didn't affect him even the slightest bit.

In just a few minutes, green-purple smoke rose from the pot, emitting 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: "Good job. Few Hogwarts students can successfully concoct a perfect spit on the first try." The truth.

I didn't expect that your talent in potions is not inferior to spells and alchemy.

With a little time and effort devoted to this, you should be able to become a true potions master. "

"Thank you for the compliment, aren't you curious why I concocted Veritaserum?" Zuo Si asked with great interest.

"It's illegal to use Veritaserum on someone casually, but it won't cause any real harm, unless he has done something shady." Snape responded meaningfully.

"But everyone hides some secrets more or less in their hearts. Even if they don't do anything shady, once they reveal too many thoughts that originally only existed in their minds, they will die socially on the spot. From a certain To some extent, the destructive power of this potion is no less than that of the Three Unforgivable Curses."

While speaking, Zuo Si poured the hot medicine from the pot into a container to cool down, and then sprinkled some fragrant powder from India.

After the temperature dropped to the critical point, he put the semi-finished potion into the roaster for baking.

After about 20 to 30 minutes, when the color of the potion changes from green-purple to white milky substance, the powerful veritaserum potion is finished.

While baking, Zuo Si took out a silver hoop from his pocket and handed it to Snape.

The latter held it in his hand and inspected the material for a while, and then tentatively asked in an uncertain tone: "What is this?"

"An extension of magic scroll making technology.

It can store a spell, put it on the wand and release it when needed.

Since there is no need to chant a mantra, only one thought is needed to activate it, so it can be released synchronously when using another mantra.

In this way, two completely different blows can be dealt to the opponent in an instant.

Unfortunately, after testing, I found that there can only be at most one such magical device on a wand.

Otherwise, if you set more than one set at a time, you should be able to take a lot of advantage in the battle.

In addition, this device is not a disposable consumable like a scroll, but can be used repeatedly. "

With a smile on his face, Zuo Si introduced to Snape the new type of magic storage equipment that he had just researched recently.

Like the castrated version of the scroll-scribing technique, this ferrule can only be used on a wand.

But for the wizards of this world, it is already a truly subversive invention.

Just looking at that slightly trembling hand, one could tell how excited Snape was at the moment.

You must know that he was also a member of the Death Eaters, and he has experienced a lot of battles.

It is very clear how such a small thing can play a role at a critical moment.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as an instant reversal of the battle situation.

Snape could guarantee that those Aurors knew that there was such a thing that could enhance their combat effectiveness, and they would definitely ask the Ministry of Magic to equip everyone with one, no matter how expensive it was.

After a full minute, he took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, then raised his head and asked, "Is this thing difficult to make?"

"Hmm—it should be fine.

If I were to make it, I should be able to make several in one day.

But the problem is, considering that each wizard has different levels of magic, so I need to figure out the power of the spell cast by the wizard before making it.

For example, a powerful wizard like Principal Dumbledore needs some expensive special materials to increase the maximum capacity.

But for Hogwarts students, too much capacity would be a waste.

Simply put, one-to-one customization is a must. "

Zuo Si calmly gave the answer.

As we all know, since the magic in this world is not subject to any restrictions, and there is auxiliary equipment such as wands, it is very easy to use and do whatever you want.

But at the same time, it is precisely because it is too free and arbitrary that there is no clear standard for magical power.

Take the Avadawa Killing Curse as an example, when Voldemort casts it, he can be invincible, and the green light flashes instantly kills people.

But if it is performed by other wizards, it may at best cause the target to suffer a little injury and a little nosebleed.

In addition, there are many variations of various spells.

For example, the fiendish flame released by ordinary wizards may only 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 there are two magics at all.

Therefore, this kind of chaotic situation makes the difficulty of manufacturing magic storage items skyrocket, and only one-to-one customization can be carried out.

fortunately!

Zuo Si had seen Snape cast spells more than once, so he could make equipment that matched the opponent's magic level.

"Great gift, I love it.

With this skill alone, I think you will soon become one of the most popular people in the entire wizarding world.

Because there is no wizard who would not want to be able to add some additional means to protect his own safety.

And as soon as one person chooses to use it, other wizards must follow suit.

Otherwise, it is easy to suffer a big loss in the spell duel. "

Snape saw the promise of the little silver ring with little effort.

After all, even the flying broom, a means of transportation, has been popular in the entire magic world since it was not favored at the beginning, not to mention things that can directly enhance the wizard's own strength.

Perhaps within a few years, this thing will become as necessary as the wand almost every one has.

"Then how much do you think is an appropriate charge for this kind of customized service?" Zuo Si asked humbly.

Snape replied without hesitation: "After deducting the cost, each one will charge at least two thousand galleons. If it is those rich pure-blooded family members, you can consider multiplying this price by three or five. Anyway, as long as you are on the top Get the family crest engraved and they'll be more than happy to pay a little more."

"Understood. Thank you very much for your pointers, I think I know what to do."

Zuo Si's iconic smile appeared on Zuo Si's face when he slaughtered a fat sheep.

Although he didn't like the face of a family of pure-blood supporters like Malfoy at all, he didn't dislike the Galleon in their hands.

In addition, successfully establishing a stable refuge in this world requires a lot of money support.

This includes both Muggle currency and Galleons minted by goblins.

"Remember not to go too far, at least make the finished product look worthwhile."

Snape was obviously a little worried about Zuo Si's character, and finally couldn't help but remind him.

Zuo Si nodded meaningfully: "Please rest assured, Professor. When dealing with customers who are willing to pay a large price, I will be very happy to provide the best service to ensure that they are willing to spend the last Galleon in their pockets."

"Your tone and expression now remind me of those mercenary goblins in Gringotts." Snape's mouth twitched slightly.
