Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 19: The embarrassing patron saint
This is a magic whistle that imitates the vibration frequency of the wings of the "tree tooth bee". This creature is not only a natural enemy of the willow, but also a social insect that most magic plants are afraid of-they only eat well. Animals and plants.
Maca walked over, reached out and patted its thick roots exposed on the ground, and the roots of the tree moved tremblingly to one side, revealing a deep black hole.
This is a sloping cave, the size of which is only large enough for one person to lie down and slide down. Maca frowned, took the suitcase she was carrying in her arms, and then slipped in.
The **** was not long, and soon Maca came to a tunnel that needed to bend over to move forward.
All light is cut off in the tunnel, and the surroundings are pitch black. Maca clutched his head that hit the top wall, fumbled and pulled out his wand, but he couldn't help but paused halfway through the draw, and finally put it back.
The Ministry of Magic has left traces on every finished wand, and minor wizards under the age of 17 will be immediately monitored once they use magic outside the school. Especially in such a place with few people, it is very eye-catching, whether it is not necessary or not, even if he should still be within Hogwarts' range.
He took out a small glass bottle from the inside pocket of his robe, shook it vigorously, and made a rustle of grit.
Then a soft shimmer appeared in the darkness, and gradually became brighter. If you look carefully into the bottle, you will find that there is a peculiar haze filled with light and fog, and it has a tendency to become thicker and thicker.
"When I have made enough money, I must buy a pocket that is easy to carry," Maca tucked his outer robe, which was filled with various bottles and cans, looking heavy.
There are some medicines, some semi-finished products, and some even just a kind of material, but without exception, they are some very practical gadgets.
"...or make one by yourself." As expected, he still couldn't bear his money bag.
, while walking forward with his head lowered, he wondered what was there, and soon he felt that the tunnel was gradually leaning upwards. Before long, a faint light appeared in front of him.
Maca pulled out the cork of the bottle that was continuously fluorescing, and with a soft sound of "pop", the light mist inside diffused in the tunnel and dissipated in a short while.
The haze in the bottle is gone, only a small half bottle of fine black sand remains at the bottom, and Maca plugs the cork back again.
Many potions and even simple materials can be used to exert the same effect as a spell, some are even more powerful than a spell, but the threshold for use is extremely low.
Of course, you have to prepare in advance and then take them with you at any time. But the flaws do not cover up, this is one of the reasons why potions are expensive.
Over time, many potion formulas have been crushed into pieces by the wheels of history, leaving them in their once glorious era. But there is also a new generation of pharmacists working hard for this, whether it is to restore the formula or try to innovate, the potion has always maintained its position in the magical world that cannot be ignored.
"...So, I would never agree without 200 gallons."
In the corner of Hogsmeade’s Hog’s Head Bar, a little wizard, wrapped in a shabby hooded cloak made of gray felt cloth, is taking a mouthful of the vague western country. The accent said something calmly.
The hoarse voice, like his vocal cords being sharpened by a file, makes people want to frown.
Across from him, a wizard who wrapped his bare skin layer by layer with a lot of bandages was bargaining with him with the same uncomfortable, fuzzy voice. The voice sounded like it made people wonder if there was an old sputum in his throat.
"No! Keke, your medicine is a new product, before you see its effect... Keke... I can’t sell it in my store. I can’t use my store’s Credit to bet."
"But in terms of testing, cough cough...for trial supplies, the price is too expensive!"
The little wizard's tone is still calm, he said indifferently: "In this case, the transaction has failed."
, he stood up on the table and walked straight to the door.
"Oh-ahem, wait, **** it!" The bandage wizard said feebly, "I pay! But, ahem... You have to count me cheaper-if you still want to cooperate for a long time! "
"150 gallons, effective payment." The little wizard who had already reached the door turned his head and said impatiently.
"Success, cough, cough... deal."
The bandage wizard waved his hand feebly. He really wanted that kind of practical new product-if the effect was so good.
The little wizard is naturally a disguised Maca. He stabbed himself for a while, avoided the biggest shortcoming he might encounter in the negotiation-his age, and then steadily gained the upper hand in a reciprocal confrontation of words.
This is a business negotiation that both parties are relatively satisfied with. No matter how unwilling the bandage wizard behaves, he is determined to win this new product.
A new type of invisibility potion, what an attractive business opportunity this is!
After the bandage wizard tried it, the two signed a two-part magic contract to finalize the long-term deal.
"The purchase price is two hundred, three or seven is divided into... a good deal!"
Maca who returned to the screaming hut hung the broken cloak directly in the old closet in the room, and then spit out a small piece of stone from his mouth, and his voice finally returned to normal.
With his fingers, he flicked the magic contract scroll made of delicate parchment, showing a slightly excited smile.
Of course, for now, he just credited 1,200 Jin Jialong, but he just filled in the material cost of the previous practice. And then he will continue to practice the preparation of other potions, it is still long before he becomes a rich man!
"No wonder there is always a sentence on the title page of a potion book,'This is an endless road paved with Jin Jialong'." Maca sighed. The excitement just now has already followed her state of mind. The changes disappeared without a trace.
……
Since Maca settled the sales channels for the potion, everything seems to be going smoothly. The study and research of various subjects are progressing slowly and practically with daily investment. And what makes Maca particularly happy is that he has made a real breakthrough in the patron saint curse!
On a quiet night, Maca was standing in the wide room provided by the Bing House.
Yes, after a lot of searching and memory, he finally found the place-it is located on the eighth floor of the castle, opposite the tapestry of "Giant Stick Beat Silly Barnabas".
God knows how many times he wandered back and forth like a fool in front of countless oil paintings, tapestries and stone statues in order to find the exact location!
"Call God to protect!"
Maca stood upright in the center of the room, erected the magic wand in front of him like a saber, and concentrated all his energy and attention on the tip of the magic wand, as the pure silver-white light came on The brighter he got out of Maca's wand.
For a while, light circulated freely around Maca, forming a faint silver-white haze.
Since Maca started practicing the Patronus Mantra, he has always only been able to reach this step. It can even be said that when he tried to practice for the first time, he could already release this silver-white haze full of hope and full of life.
As he practiced again and again, the fog became denser again and again, but at the same time, he was always unable to summon his patron saint.
This can't help but make Maca start to re-study the basic theory of this spell.
He read a lot of classics again, but he didn't find anything special. Most of the theory of this curse is very vague, just saying that users need to concentrate on thinking and recalling those happy and beautiful things. All in all, it is positive emotions.
In desperation, Maca had no choice but to focus on the various instances of successfully casting the Guardian Spell.
Finally, the hard work paid off, and the number of examples of using the patron saint to save his loved ones, let him find a new breakthrough point. He found that the moment when the user is forced by the situation and hopes to protect a certain object, is the time when the magic spell exerts its true power!
"...Guardian~IndoMTL.com~Maca remembered the scene when she first met Luna in the cemetery.
In the setting sun, the girl's long light golden hair exudes a faint halo. She stood in front of the cold tombstone and looked at her deceased mother without a word. In the entire gray-toned scene, only her back was so vivid;
Under the stars, when Maca subconsciously avoids the subject of her mother. She told him frankly that it was indeed a sad story, but she had to know how to face it directly;
Before parting, Maca even only remembered her silver-gray eyes. In those dim eyes, there was a longing for him, a friend who was about to leave temporarily, and the longing for goodbye.
Following Maca’s memory, the dense silver-white haze swirling around his body suddenly surged, turning into a translucent silver eagle and hovering around him.
Maca looked at the huge eagle in front of him, with an awkward expression on his face.
"...How should I face Dean Sprout in the future."
Among the four Hogwarts colleges, the eagle is the symbol of Ravenclaw. It represents justice, keenness, sternness, vision, and superiority.
When the Sorting Hat allocated Maca, it first considered Ravenclaw College. Although he was eventually placed in Hufflepuff for unknown reasons, it undoubtedly showed that Maca and Ravenclaw Has a lot of fate.
At this moment, this eagle's patron saint, besides being related to the emotion of "Hope to protect Luna", I am afraid it has something to do with this.
"Go to bed anyway!"
Maca waved his magic wand to dispel the patron saint curse, and then left the responsive house with a sense of complexity.
