One Sneeze Destroys A Magical Civilization

Chapter 234 Medal of the Order of Merlin, Second Class

A conspicuous silver metal ring on the wand sleeve is undoubtedly quite dazzling for wizards.

Because every wand has everything planned at the beginning of its design.

Whether it is the special wood used as the body of the rod or the special additions used as the core of the rod, they are all closely connected together by magic to form a delicate balance.

So no one can make additional decorations, carvings, or add a little decoration to the wand.

That would break the continuity of the whole wand and eventually cause it to break.

Even for a pure-blood family like Malfoy who is rich and likes to show off, their wands are no different from other wizards, and they look very simple and simple.

So when Snape took out his wand, everyone noticed the silver ring fixed on the front of the handle.

Soon, under the inquiry of other professors, he quickly showed the purpose of this equipment called "staff ring".

In just a few days, Zuo Si successively received orders from Principal Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Flitwick.

Especially Dumbledore directly offered a high price of five thousand gold Galleons, and asked him to make it according to the highest magic power limit.

Needless to ask, the principal wanted to use this thing as a hole card against Voldemort, using it at the most critical time to achieve a one-hit kill effect.

Under the introduction of Snape, the potion master, many wealthy families and individuals in the wizarding world came to Hogwarts one after another, just to order an exclusive "staff ring" from Zuo Si.

In addition, the Ministry of Magic of several countries personally sent people to discuss cooperation issues.

After all, whether it is the technique of making scrolls or this kind of spell storage device that can be equipped on the wand, it can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of Aurors.

To some extent, Auror is equivalent to the police and army in the magic world.

Not even the most stingy Ministry of Magic is going to save money on this.

Finally, on the eve of Halloween, the review team jointly established by the International Federation of Wizards and the Wizengamot finally recognized the knowledge and technology in Zuo Si's notebook.

This also means that after simple supplementation and polishing, it can be published as a book.

In the end, under Dumbledore's suggestion, Zuo Si chose to cooperate with Silent Book Publishing House, which has published countless Hogwarts designated textbooks.

Almost at the same time, the British Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, also brought people to appear at Hogwarts, not only sent high bonuses and the second class medal of the Order of Merlin, but also a gift with a total value of up to 100,000 gold. Long contract.

It includes not only the purchase of "staff rings" for Aurors and Ministry of Magic officials, but also five public classes devoted to the technique of making magic scrolls.

Seeing this old man who was very kind in appearance and attitude and always kept smiling, Zuo Si immediately put one hand on his chest and bowed slightly.

"Thank you very much for making a special trip to bring me honors and bonuses, as well as a contract that will make me a lot of money."

"Hahahaha! This is what I should do. You must know these inventions of yours, but you have severely embarrassed our British Minister of Magic. Now wizards all over the world know that there is a genius who can lead the next era. Hogwarts."

Cornelius Fudge laughed and patted Zuo Si on the shoulder for affection and encouragement.

As for the reason is also very simple.

Zuo Si is too young, too young to threaten his current status, which is completely different from the highly respected Dumbledore.

By the time Zuo Si grew up, Cornelius Fudge would have already retired or died of old age in his own home.

Therefore, he is very happy to support and give some help to this kind of student who can bring him political achievements, and at the same time, no matter how famous his reputation is, it is impossible to become the Minister of Magic in a short period of time.

"It's all thanks to your effective leadership. Without the funding provided by the Ministry of Magic every year, a little Muggle-born wizard like me would not be able to come to Hogwarts to study." Zuo Si flattered.

He is obviously very good at dealing with this kind of vanity guy who is very obsessed with power and wealth.

In just a few words, the expression on the face of the British Minister of Magic was like a blooming chrysanthemum, and his mouth even grinned to the base of his ears.

"Look, what a polite child. If only my grandson could be half as smart and sensible as this." Cornelius Fudge sighed slightly.

Umbridge, who is a confidant and a dog's leg, immediately echoed: "You are absolutely right. It seems that our little genius not only has an enviable talent in the field of magic, but also is very humble and lovable. ...I think that in a few years, when he's older, it's entirely possible to exchange the Order of Merlin from the Second Class for the First Class."

"Well, what you say makes a lot of sense. Albus, what do you think?"

Cornelius Fudge asked Dumbledore for advice in a slightly guilty tone.

From this action, it is not difficult to see that he was actually very nervous and scared when facing the greatest wizard of our time.

After all, the position of Minister of Magic was given to him by the other party, which inevitably made Cornelius Fudge feel that he was a head shorter than Dumbledore.

What's more, at his age, who doesn't know Albus Dumbledore's legendary life and what he has done.

"You are the Minister of Magic, you can make your own decision, I have no other opinions." Dumbledore responded indifferently.

Hearing this, Cornelius Fudge was obviously relieved, and immediately said with a smile: "In that case, let's wait a few years for the Ministry of Magic to lead the second application. By the way, I heard that Harry · Potter is also enrolled at Hogwarts this year. What about the others?"

Dumbledore pointed to the distant stadium and replied: "Harry and his friends are practicing flying. He is a very talented seeker. If you stay a few more days, you should be able to see a very exciting game." Geek game."

"Forget it. I'm very busy. When Barty Crouch left office, he left a lot of mess waiting for me to deal with." Cornelius Fudge decisively declined the invitation.

Unlike most ordinary wizards who regard Harry Potter as a savior, he knows very well that it is impossible for a baby to truly defeat a wizard as powerful as Voldemort, and there must be secrets in the middle that he does not know.

Therefore, the attitude towards this "savior" is also very complicated. It is necessary to ensure that he can live safely, and he does not want the boy who survived the catastrophe to be influenced and controlled by Dumbledore all the time.

Therefore, under the influence of this psychology, Cornelius Fudge subconsciously chose to escape.

In this way, after a brief stay at Hogwarts with a group of people, he left in a hurry.

Before leaving, only one Auror was left to communicate with Zuo Si to ensure that the "Rand Ring" ordered by the Ministry of Magic could be delivered in the shortest possible time.

"What do you think of the Minister for Magic?"

After Cornelius Fudge left completely, Dumbledore suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

"It's neither good nor bad, a qualified bureaucrat with a bit of vanity and power, that's all." Zuo Si gave his evaluation straightforwardly.

In his eyes, Fudge's image is far from as bad as described in the original book. At least before Voldemort's return, the other party faithfully performed his duties.

In other words, Cornelius Fudge is more suited to be a Minister of Magic in peacetime, but his performance in wartime is a little bit broken.

Dumbledore smiled and nodded: "It's very precise. That's why I was willing to give him the position of Minister of Magic. There is nothing more suitable than a gentle and humane person to heal everyone who is scared by Voldemort. The self-threatening British wizarding world. And I found that you seem to be very good at dealing with people like Fudge, don't you?"

"Dear Headmaster, as long as you have a little understanding of the bureaucratic system in the Muggle world, you will understand that there are people like Fudge almost everywhere in Britain." Zuo Si responded with a sneer. "Also, I strongly recommend you to watch a political satire called "Yes, Prime Minister". Believe me, at your age and experience, after watching it, you will definitely have a stomachache from laughing."

"TV series?"

Dumbledore stroked the beard on his chin with an expression of interest on his face.

"That's right. You can understand it as a kind of stage play in which professional actors play various roles, and it is closer to reality. You only need to buy a TV, a VCR, and then go to the store to rent the video tape of this TV series , you can enjoy it slowly in an inn or hotel in the Muggle world."

Zuo Si meaningfully gave the specific operation steps.

When he first came to this world, he once saw the promotional poster of this classic British drama on the window of a shop that rents out video tapes on the streets of London.

So I know that on this magical version of the earth, there are many things that are very similar to my real hometown.

"Sounds like a lot of fun. Maybe I can try it in the summer at the end of term next year.

Finally, congratulations on your award of the Order of Merlin, Second Class.

You must know that this symbolizes the highest level of honor in the magic world.

It seems that I should also give you a special contribution to the school award.

Because your groundbreaking spell storage technology really pushed the wizarding world a huge step forward.

Oh, by the way, this is a book sample sent by Moran Book Publishing House, and it is also a special gift for you, the author. "

After all, Dumbledore took out a large book in English from the desk drawer with "Teaching You to Store Spells - Volume One" on the cover.

Since the magic scroll technology involves the preparation of special ink, the processing of parchment, and other necessary tools, the book looks extra thick and heavy.

Moreover, some incantations are used on the pages of the book, so that some of the highly complicated steps can be displayed in front of the readers in the form of illusory images, which is convenient for them to observe and imitate.

Zuo Si held it in his hand and flipped it over, and soon showed a look of satisfaction: "Momoran Book Publishing House has done a great job, showing several key details. By the way, the sales of this book What's the price?"

"Twenty-five Galleons."

Dumbledore gave an exact number without thinking.

Although it is slightly more expensive than other books, it is also a price that most wizards can afford.

What's more, after learning the techniques inside, wizards can also sell them to the outside world by making scrolls of spells that they are best at.

The rarer and more powerful the spell scroll, the higher the selling price.

In addition, the scroll trade will also greatly promote the communication between the magic world.

As a very visionary wizard, Dumbledore is very happy to see such a development trend that is beneficial to everyone.

"That is to say, if there are no accidents, I will soon become a millionaire with a fortune of one million Galleons?" Zuo Si raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Although there are not many wizards in this world, it is still easy to find tens of thousands of them to buy his books.

In particular, the emerging scroll-making process is definitely something fresh and fashionable for the always lifeless magic world.

It is foreseeable that it will become a hot topic for a long time in the future.

"What are you going to do with the money?" Dumbledore asked with great interest.

If it is another first-year student, maybe you have to worry about the other party's squandering.

But Zuo Si has always shown a maturity far beyond his peers, so he is very curious about where the boy will spend so much money, or directly deposit it in the Gringotts vault.

Zuo Si pretended to think for a moment, and quickly responded: "First of all, I need a house, a kind of castle or forest villa where there are no ordinary Muggles living around, so that I can carry out various activities. Such an interesting magic experiment.

Secondly, I need to buy a lot of expensive and rare materials, try to make more and more powerful magic items, and learn to make the highest quality potions from Professor Snape.

Finally, and most importantly, I want to buy some magical animals and keep them in my own home to see if I can breed all kinds of interesting new species.

The world of magic is so diverse, I wish I knew all of it, not just what I learned in school. "

"Know all about the wizarding world? This is really a great personal goal." There was a hint of approval in Dumbledore's eyes.

He was obviously very happy that Zuo Si did not turn his attention to power, domination, or black magic, but observed and understood the magic world from a more grand perspective.

"By the way, I heard that Hagrid, the gamekeeper at Hogwarts, is very knowledgeable about magical animals, and he can often buy some interesting creatures, such as these big dogs with three heads. If you don't mind, I Can he help buy some interesting magical animals?" Zuo Si took the opportunity to make a request.

After all, Hagrid was able to secretly raise eight-eyed spiders when he was in school—dangerous creatures like Aragog. This year, he even got three-headed dogs, dragon eggs, and later hippogriffs without much effort. , snails and other magical animals that can cause amazing destructive power.

And more than half of these things are dangerous species that are banned from breeding by the Ministry of Magic.

Not to mention that he has publicly stated more than once that he wants to raise a Chimera beast that has left a terrible reputation in Greek mythology.

This is an extremely bloodthirsty and violent creature with the head of a lion, the body of a goat and the tail of a dragon.

So far, in the recorded history of wizards, only one person has successfully hunted it, which shows how difficult it is to deal with.

Its danger is simply much higher than that of all kinds of fire dragons.

This can be seen from the attribution of the Ministry of Magic to its classification.

Even a chimera egg is a Class A forbidden trade item.

So Zuo Si believed that Hagrid must have some illegal smuggling channels, otherwise it would be absolutely impossible to buy these dangerous creatures and their eggs over and over again.

Dumbledore smiled and nodded: "Of course! I think Hagrid will be very happy to discuss the topic of magical animals with you. But promise me, don't let him deal with those creatures that are too dangerous."

"This sentence should not be said to me, but to Hagrid. As far as I know, he seems to always have an inexplicable love and obsession for those big and fierce creatures."

After saying this, Zuo Si stuffed a few bags of Galleons into the satchel he was carrying, then picked up the medals and book samples and turned to leave the principal's office.

Due to the traceless stretching spell in this world, space-type magic items are quite common.

Although the Ministry of Magic strictly controls it, it is expressly prohibited for private use.

Only registered things like school luggage, family tents, etc. can use this spell to expand the interior space.

But there are almost no wizards who really strictly abide by it.

Moreover, the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Magic are well aware of this, and they usually turn a blind eye to it, so as not to cause too much disturbance and movement.

In Dumbledore's eyes, the small satchel on Zuo Si's body was a prop whose internal space was expanded by the Untraceable Stretching Curse.

But he didn't know that the magic principle of the dimension bag was fundamentally different from the traceless stretching spell.

The latter is a false space maintained by spells. Once it is affected by dispelling magic or stopping spells, it will become invalid in minutes, and then the things inside will fly out.

In contrast, the dimensional bag is more stable.

Unless it is a terrifying spell like the Great Crack, which tears apart magic items and magic protection indiscriminately, generally speaking, like dispelling magic and stopping spells, it will never have any effect.

So all the important things, Zuo Si will be installed in the satchel that you carry with you.

Only those things that are not very important will be thrown into the box that has been blessed with the traceless stretching spell.

Walking out of the principal's office, he didn't go to the lobby on the first floor, but came to the room on the right side of the third floor that was specially assigned to him for some experiments.

As soon as she entered the door, Hermione, who had been waiting for a long time, noticed the purple medal, and immediately couldn't help but exclaimed, "Order of Merlin, Second Class? Has the Ministry of Magic finally awarded you this honor!"

"Well, it came with the bonus."

Zuo Si casually threw it like trash on the table in the corner of the room, not even interested in taking a second look.

Because in his eyes, honor is just a trick to fool people, and it has no practical effect at all except to increase a little popularity.

Especially in the world of magic, no one dares to despise a wizard who truly possesses great power, even if he doesn't have any honor.

And those clowns who have acquired a string of titles by other means, no matter how much honor they have, don't really get respect (yes, that's you, Gilderoy Lockhart).

Hermione undoubtedly noticed Zuo Si's attitude towards the Order of Merlin, and asked very puzzled: "Aren't you happy at all?"

"Happy? Why should I be happy about something so worthless?

do you know? In today's wizarding world, any powerful person can find ways to get himself an Order of Merlin.

In my opinion, this thing is actually no different from many awards selected by the Muggle world. It is just a disguised Vanity Fair.

It's best to have nature, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't.

Because when your strength, power or wealth reaches a certain level, these things will naturally come to you.

Well, let's not talk about these spoilers, let's continue today's work. "

After finishing speaking, Zuo Si drew out his wand and waved it lightly, placing the precious metals in the huge glass jars not far away on the table one by one.

These gold and silver have been soaked in the potion solution for a long time, and they are emitting a slightly pungent smell right now.

You don't need to ask, they are the basic materials used to make the "staff ring".

"But I've heard that an honor is a reward for someone's accomplishments and contributions."

As Hermione spoke, she quickly raised her wand to cast a cleaning spell on these metal blocks, and tried to shape them into different shapes as required with transformation magic.

Zuo Si responded with a smile: "This explanation is actually correct to a certain extent.

The problem is, you're missing the most crucial part of it, which is who actually has the right to bestow honor on others.

Is this selection really fair?

There are no personal emotions and interests?

The answer is obviously no.

Because everyone, including you and me, is subjective, and it is impossible to be truly fair.

Therefore, all institutions that award honor to others will inevitably become tools manipulated by powerful people.

With the corruption and depravity of awarding organizations, those shady transactions will be exposed to the public's attention sooner or later.

At that time, the honor they conferred will also be questioned, and instead of becoming a capital, it will become a burden.

I sincerely suggest that you do not take honor too seriously, it is better to regard it as a by-product of success and flavoring of life.

What's more, honor represents past success, not future success.

If you accidentally indulge in the kind of praise, flattery and flattery from the outside world, you will lose yourself completely in a short time, and completely become a poor person who is afraid of failure, lacks enterprising spirit, and can only be self-sufficient. "

Undoubtedly, this point of view on honor gave Hermione an indescribable shock.

She couldn't imagine how Zuo Si managed to have such a vision at this age, as if she could easily see through the traps that even adults would unknowingly fall into.

In particular, the terrifying rationality that will not be affected by any external factors is exactly the same as that of Principal Dumbledore.

"Don't be distracted! I just took an order from the Ministry of Magic, and today's workload is quite heavy."

Seeing that the girl was a little out of control, Zuo Si immediately reminded her softly.

"Ah! Hug... sorry."

Hermione jolted awake from her wild thoughts, and quickly adjusted her mentality to concentrate on the matter at hand.

She didn't want to lose a job as an assistant that made countless seniors jealous.

After all, with Zuo Si, you can learn all kinds of knowledge and technologies all the time.

In addition, every order completed can also get a generous bonus.

The twin brothers of the Weasley family, both of Gryffindor College, are going crazy with envy, and have been asking when Zuo Si will recruit again.

They are even willing to act as guinea pigs if need be.

As both of them entered a state of incomparable concentration, customized "staff rings" were made one after another.

Among them, Hermione is responsible for the processing of materials, and will shape them into various forms according to customer requirements, or add some family advice and inscriptions.

Zuo Si is responsible for manufacturing the core and key functional parts of this method storage device.

They have been busy from one o'clock in the afternoon to more than ten o'clock, and only barely finished seven.

Looking at these equipments that have only recently been sought after by a large number of wizards, Hermione subconsciously wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said in a slightly emotional voice: "It's really not easy, I finally got all the previous orders out. Starting tomorrow , we can make the order issued by the Ministry of Magic. However, because of the large number of orders, I suggest that it is best to hire two more people."

"Do you have any good candidate recommendation codes?"

Zuo Si packed the seven finished products into pre-prepared boxes, and then used a magic wand to carve the customer's name and address on each box.

I plan to wait for the owl to be handed over to Hogwarts early tomorrow morning for delivery.

"I think George and Fred are good choices. Unlike the idiot Ron, both of them are very smart, and they have very good grades in several major courses, and even made many small inventions in private. Most importantly, this The twins are very, very eager to make money, so they will obey orders 100 percent."

Hermione said without thinking about the best candidate in her mind.

"Okay, it's them. Remember to bring these two live treasures here tomorrow morning." Zuo Si agreed without even thinking.

On the one hand, it is because he really likes the twins who are always optimistic, and on the other hand, George and Fred are indeed very talented, and maybe they can provide some inspiration.

"Then it's settled. I'll tell them the good news when I get back to the Gryffindor common room."

After all, Hermione picked up her wand and cast a cleaning spell on herself, removing sweat and accidental stains.

Just as she picked up her backpack and was about to open the door and go out, she suddenly heard Zuo Si's voice behind her.

"Wait! I just have a sample of "Teaching You to Store Spells-Volume 1" sent by the publishing house. Anyway, it is a waste to put it here, so I will give it to you as a gift."

"Give it to me?!"

Hermione stopped immediately, with infinite surprise in her eyes.

Zuo Si smiled and nodded: "That's right. It's my recognition of your excellent work and serious study attitude during this period. Remember not to be complacent, because with your intelligence and talent, you should still be able to do it." better."

"Thank...thank you. Could you please sign me on the first page of this book?" Hermione blushed excitedly and asked in a low voice.

"Of course, no problem."

Zuo Si raised her wand and gently slid across the first page of the book.

moment!

A row of swashbuckling characters flashing with faint light appeared on it out of thin air, and it would also change its color according to the intensity of the ambient light.

You don't need to ask to know that this signature-like magic is the spell he transformed from the zero-ring arcane imprint.

But unfortunately, due to the huge difference in the magical environments of the two worlds, the overall transformation is very difficult.

So far, Zuo Si has only successfully transformed a few frequently used arcane spells from the zero ring to the third ring.

But Hermione was keenly aware of something, and asked in an extremely surprised tone: "Is this a new spell?"

"That's right. There's no need to make a fuss. In fact, at Hogwarts, many students above the third and fourth grades will invent some messy spells, including the Weasley twins you just mentioned." Zuo Si put away his wand and didn't care shrugged his shoulders.

In this world without any rules and restrictions, the threshold for creating magic and spells is so low that any Faerun arcane spellcaster can't imagine.

In addition, there are wands, which can enhance the perception and control of magic power, so there are many harmless but extremely insulting spells among Hogwarts students.

For example, the spell that makes the front teeth bigger, or the spell that makes the legs dance uncontrollably, and the spell that keeps farting, etc...

It is estimated that the malicious element may not be as high as the mischievous element.

"George and Fred can actually invent spells?!" Hermione opened her mouth in disbelief.

Because in her impression, this pair of live treasures should belong to the kind of guy who doesn't do any business all day long, just thinking about making money, exploring, and having fun.

It is already quite incomprehensible to be able to achieve excellent grades in a few courses that he is good at, let alone inventing and creating spells, which sounds very "high-end".

Zuo Si smiled and nodded, "Yeah. It's unbelievable, isn't it? In fact, one of the children of the Weasley family has very good talents and smart minds, at least among their peers. is excellent. Of course, Ron is an exception."

Pooh!

Hermione couldn't help laughing.

No way, who made the youngest son of the Weasley family behave much worse than his several big brothers.

After saying goodnight to each other, the girl quickly turned around and returned to the Gryffindor common room with the heavy book in her arms.

When she said the password and walked in, she suddenly found that Harry and Ron hadn't rested yet, but were sitting by the fireplace discussing something quietly.

Out of curiosity, Hermione immediately stepped forward and asked, "It's so late, why are you still not going to bed, what are you doing here? Don't tell me you made another appointment with Malfoy to have a wizard duel at midnight."

"Hey! Of course not. Malfoy, he didn't dare to act rashly until he figured out how many spell scrolls we have. In fact, since Halloween is coming soon, we are discussing how to spend it." Ron smirked replied.

"I heard from the senior students that Hogwarts holds a grand banquet on Halloween every year. Not only will there be a lot of delicious food, but also corresponding decorations will be made, and occasionally there will be an orchestra invited to perform." Harry He also added enthusiastically.

Since he has never had any decent holidays since he was a child, he is inevitably looking forward to the upcoming Halloween.

Seeing that these two guys were still out of tune as usual, Hermione couldn't help but sighed slightly: "Oh—then you two can continue to sit here and imagine the grand occasion of Halloween, I'm exhausted today, I have to take a shower quickly Take a shower and get some sleep."

"You went to help South again? This is already the fourth time this week? Your schedule is so tight every day, is it really necessary to work so hard?" Ron asked very puzzled.

"First of all, I can learn a lot from the work of an assistant. Second, every time I complete an order, Sous will give me a bonus ranging from dozens to hundreds of Galleons. Any Hogwarts Senior students, they will definitely do their best like me. Besides, your big brothers are all salivating for this job."

While saying these words, Hermione raised her chin slightly, showing a proud and proud expression.

"What? Dozens of Galleons, hundreds of Galleons! Where did he get you so much money? Also, what happened to that order?"

Ron was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even notice that the pumpkin juice in his hand was spilled on his body.

He originally thought that the girl's so-called assistant job was actually doing nothing, just like the small interest groups formed by many Hogwarts students themselves.

"My stupid brother!

Don't you know that since the reports in the Daily Prophet and Wizard Weekly, many wizards from all over the world have made a special trip to visit South?

And he can also make something called a "wand ring", which can store a spell and put it on the wand.

It only takes one thought to activate in a dangerous situation.

So many rich people and pure-blood families come to him for customization. "

Accompanied by a familiar voice, George first ran in from outside and put his arms around Ron's neck.

Although the latter tried desperately to break free, it was a pity that his strength was too weak, and he was no match for the big brothers who would go to Quidditch training every now and then.

Fred also sat down next to Ron, and joked in a half-joking tone: "Dear Miss Granger, don't waste your time talking to poor Ron, because his little head can't understand dozens or even thousands of people. What is the concept of a hundred gold Galleons?"

"That's right! Ron can't even take out a Galleon right now." George immediately followed up to make up the knife.

In the blink of an eye, Ron was flushed by the two big brothers, looking angry and inferior.

But and unfortunately, none of the people present noticed his predicament, and even Harry subconsciously ignored the reaction of his best friend.

Seeing that George and Fred just happened to meet, Hermione immediately sent an invitation to the two: "Are you interested in being South's assistant together?"

"Of course! We are very interested!"

Fred hurriedly nodded desperately, as if he was afraid of missing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity if he answered too late.

George, on the other hand, used his funny talent, put on a gesture of rubbing his hands like a fly, and tried in a very humble tone: "How much salary or bonus can we get? Can it be one-tenth of yours?"

Hermione rolled her eyes angrily: "Stop making trouble. At the beginning, you could only get one-third of my income. After you become proficient, you can get the same bonus as me."

"Oh—Merlin's beard! We're going to be rich!" cried George, jumping to his feet.

"Hurray! Great, noble, omnipotent, omniscient Miss Granger! Allow the most loyal servant to kiss your boots."

As he said that, Fred really lay down on the ground, wanting to kiss the girl's instep.

This move scared Hermione back again and again, and she sternly said: "Enough! If you do this again, I will be disqualified."

"OK! OK! From now on, you are our master, let us go east and never go west."

"When can we start working and what will it be?"

The twins sandwiched the girl from left to right and kept asking questions.

The three of them talked for about 20 minutes, and then they went back to the male and female dormitories to sleep.

As for Harry and Ron who were left aside, they showed helpless expressions, and could only follow them back to the dormitory to rest.

Early the next morning, George and Fred, who had been so excited all night and didn't fall asleep, appeared in the room assigned to Zuo Si by the school with two dark circles under their eyes.

Noticing the mental state of the twin brothers, Zuo Si immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "Did you two go on a night tour last night?"

"How could it be! We were simply too excited, and ended up with a little insomnia." George hurriedly explained.

"Well, I hope this won't affect your work efficiency. Hermione, tell them about the work of the assistants. Today we have to complete at least ten staff rings."

Zuo Si bluntly left the two of them to the girl to take charge of the management, while she herself began to take out tools to prepare for the seal carving inscription.

Soon, under Hermione's explanation and demonstration, George and Fred quickly understood what they needed to do.

After a while, they each entered a very focused working state and produced one semi-finished product after another.

It may be because they are older and their magic power level is much higher than Hermione's in the first year, so the work efficiency of these two novices is not much slower than that of the skilled latter.

Excluding the class time, when it was time to rest at night, I had completed fifteen.

Of course, the price was that George and Fred looked like dead dogs from exhaustion, and Hermione looked like she had just been fished out of the water. The clothes all over her body were soaked in sweat, sticking to her skin was very uncomfortable.

"You did a good job today. Here, this is a bonus. Take it and divide it among yourself."

Zuo Si didn't hesitate to throw a bag of Galleons prepared in advance on the table.

Accompanied by a clattering sound, George, who was lying on the ground like a dog sticking out his tongue a second ago, suddenly jumped up from the ground, rushed straight to the table, and poured out more than three hundred gold Galleons inside.

Immediately afterwards, his whole body seemed to be under the immobilization spell, and the muscles all over his body were stretched and stiff.

Only the eyes revealed a scorching light that could melt everything.

Fred on the side was not bad either, he just jumped up and rolled on Jin Gallon, while letting out a creepy laugh.

"Hahahaha! It's Galleons! It's all Galleons! Not even a Silver Sickle or a Copper Knut! My God! I feel like I'm in a dream right now!"

"Fred, give me a hard time."

Returning to his senses, George brought his face closer to his twin brother.

"Happy to oblige, brother."

Without saying a word, Fred swung his arm and gave the former a loud slap.

Snapped!

After the crisp sound, George turned around several times, and there was a palm-shaped handprint on his face.

But instead of being annoyed, he hugged Fred and started laughing with him.

It has to be said that with these two living treasures, even Hermione felt that her mental fatigue had recovered a lot, and she covered her mouth and secretly laughed.

As for Zuo Si, he made up his mind that Voldemort or other Death Eaters would never be allowed to kill the Weasley twins.

Because if the world were missing any one of them, it would lose a lot of laughter.
