Chapter 358 Helga’s Wallet Magic: Christmas Promotion (2-in-1)

"It's done." After stuffing the compressed domain into the crystal, Les showed a hint of joy.

At this time, the crystal was filled with colorless liquid.

Although it is a transparent and colorless liquid, when the amethyst is gently shaken, the liquid inside will sway slightly, which can make people feel uneasy and fearful, and subconsciously want to stay away from this piece of amethyst. This is the tendency of people. The instinct of profit and avoidance of harm.

However, although the cut field was put into the amethyst, the reason why this part of the field can still stay in the crystal is because Les has been suppressing it. Without Rice's control, the realm could crush amethyst into powder in just a second, and then expand at an alarming rate.

Rice originally wanted to add a seal to the crystal to isolate it from the outside world and keep the internal realm in a stable state, but after careful consideration, he gave up this idea.

Because he realized that the essence of this crystal was a teaching tool, not an alchemy tool that could be passed down as a heirloom at the bottom of the box.

If a friend with a particularly good relationship comes to him for a treasure that is enough to house his family, Les will definitely apply sealing magic on the outside to turn the crystal into a one-time killer weapon that can expand its territory once triggered.

But this thing is for Daphne and Astoria to learn...so why add anything superfluous? Wouldn't it be nice to devote some energy to controlling the realm in the crystal? After thinking about it, Les concocted an identical yellow drop-shaped crystal, giving Daphne and Astoria one each.

After making the crystal pendants, Les estimated the time and found that Christmas was approaching, just in time to use them as Christmas gifts. Thinking about what Christmas gifts to give to the younger generation every year is really energy-consuming...

Thinking of this, Les suddenly realized a question: Helga has accepted a disciple, should she give him an extra gift this year? !

Les was a little distressed for a moment, but then he realized that Cedric didn't know his identity, so didn't he need to give him a gift?

…

As Christmas approaches, the entire British wizarding world becomes visibly lazy.

Professors at Hogwarts began to reserve more "free time" in class, and officials at the Ministry of Magic also began to fish from top to bottom. Except for the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the entire Ministry of Magic became Lazy.

"Minos, are you ready for the Christmas gifts for the staff?" Bones, the newly appointed Minister of Magic, rubbed her swollen temples. Having just become the Minister of Magic, she needed to receive some benefits to consolidate her status. As the Minister of Magic elected by the Greengrass family, she has plenty of funds and can afford some benefits.

"Ready." Bones' secretary responded, took out the Boxing Day quotation and handed it to Minister Bones.

Bones glanced at the gifts on the list that were obviously higher than the market price, raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything - the new supplier was from the Malfoy family, so it was normal for the gift list to have a premium.

"It doesn't matter if it's more expensive. The key is not to have any problems with the quality."

"We will check it upon delivery."

Bones nodded.

Minos took out another document and handed it to his immediate superior.

"This is a letter from Professor White at Hogwarts. She said that the doll has been made and will be sent to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow for us to inspect." Minos' expression was a little strange: "Professor White said that the doll will Come alone, if the department has the intention to order after seeing it, please send her an owl email to place the order, and she will ship it in order - she accepts installment payment."

He was obviously here to sell things, but he didn't even come to the scene. Professor White was quite confident.

Bones raised his eyebrows: Professor White is sure that the Ministry of Magic will place the order? And judging from her tone, she also thought that the dolls would be very popular, so the Ministry of Magic had better place orders before those pure-blood families?

In Bones' mind, Smith White is not the kind of liar who talks too much, so she is really confident in her doll. Now she was looking forward to what would happen tomorrow.

"Send invitations to those respectable guys and tell them that they can come and witness Professor White's battle doll tomorrow." Bones gave the order.

After that, she processed more than a dozen documents and held several meetings with important officials from the Ministry of Magic, including Henry Greengrass, Director of the National Department of Magical Cooperation.

Unlike former Secretary Fudge, Bones is a practical man who wants to fill his daily schedule to the brim. By the end of today's schedule, it was completely dark.

Bones stretched and exhaled: Minister of Magic is not an easy job, but she likes it.

The news that Professor White of Hogwarts will send his automatic combat doll to the Ministry of Magic spread throughout the Ministry of Magic before leaving get off work, ranging from the heads of departments to the lowest-level employees who have just joined the job. This breaking news.

So almost everyone in the Ministry of Magic got up early the next day and rushed to the Ministry of Magic early in order to get first-hand news about the automaton.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a doll wearing a black plain wizard robe and a pointed wizard hat, with a smooth face and no facial features appeared in the hall of the Ministry of Magic. The Hogwarts emblem on the front of its wizard's robes shows its origin: this is Professor White's automatic combat doll.

Its arrival caught the attention of everyone in the hall, and at the first sight of it, there was a buzz in the hall.

The wizards began to comment on the doll one after another, expressing their own opinions, some were positive, and some were negative. No one noticed that two figures appeared behind the doll.

Delis and Kingsley looked at each other and nodded - these two people received instructions from Minister Bones yesterday to sneak attack the puppet when it arrives tomorrow.

If he can survive the attack of two senior Aurors, then Professor White's doll will definitely sell well.

"Expelliarmus!"

"Split into pieces!"

The two spells were shot at the doll at the same time. The incident happened so suddenly that most of the people present did not react, but the puppet quickly turned around and nimbly dodged the spells of Delis and Kingsley. At the same time, he raised his hand towards Delis who was standing on the left, and In a second, Delis flew backwards, hit a fireplace hard, and fainted on the spot.

Kingsley:? ? ?

What the hell is this? Gravity magic? Magnetic field rotation? Kingsley had never seen this weird attack method before.

This can't be blamed on him. Not many people in the modern magic world have seen this simple attack method from thousands of years ago, a simple magic shock wave.

Seeing the puppet "looking" at him, Kingsley was shocked and immediately used an iron armor spell on himself.

The puppet did not continue to use the attack method just now, because the energy carried by the magic shock wave module only allowed it to attack once. If it wanted to continue attacking, it needed to change its attack method.

[Under attack, counterattack mode activated]

[Agreement passed, action one, execution]

A neutral voice with no emotional fluctuations sounded from the doll's head.

The next moment, a three-foot-long sword blade emerged from the palm of the puppet's left hand, and its right arm exploded instantly, forming a half-human-sized shield.

call--

The blade of the sword ignited with blazing fire.

Kingsley's eyes narrowed: You really don't think of me as a wizard? How dare you fight me in close combat——

His mind was spinning, and he was about to use a powerful and heavy spell to hit the puppet in front of him, but the next second the puppet appeared in front of him.

Apparition? ! How can this be--

Kingsley was horrified.

Although he knows this kind of advanced magic, in a battle that requires a high degree of concentration, how can ordinary wizards have the spare time to perform apparation?

Also, why can a doll without consciousness and soul be able to use the method of apparation? !

However, Kingsley was also experienced in many battles. Although he was surprised, he did not stop moving his hands and directly moved the transparent magic shield summoned by the Iron Armor Curse in front of him.

boom!

There was a loud bell-like sound in the hall, which made the onlookers' ears ring.

When Kingsley and Delis were fighting against the puppets, the onlookers had already stepped aside in a tacit understanding and did not want to interfere with the puppets' performance. Seeing how fierce the fight between the two sides was at this time, they all shrank into the corner of the hall to avoid being harmed by Chi Yu.

Kingsley took a few steps back. The iron armor spell he used before had been broken. There was also a huge crack on the chest of his robe, and a few flames ignited in the crack.

If the Iron Armor Curse hadn't been used in advance, the knife just now would have been enough to disembowel him.

The puppet did not hold back, but continued to close the distance, trying to strike Kingsley again.

As an experienced Auror, Kingsley certainly couldn't let people get his way. He fought and retreated, using all his strength to block its advance.

Seeing that he had been unable to close the distance between him and Kingsley, the puppet directly raised the blade of his sword and gave it a false strike.

The flames attached to the blade came out directly from the sword, forming a two-foot-long flame shock wave.

Kingsley:? !

Caught off guard, he was directly hit by the fire blade, and his upper body burned directly.

"All petrified!" A petrifying curse flew from the side.

Delis, who had just been knocked unconscious, had regained consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Kingsley being beaten by a puppet. As a colleague sitting in an office, he really couldn't lie on the floor and pretend to be dead.

Smith White's slogan for the puppet had angered the Aurors, and they had already made up their minds to teach the puppet a lesson, letting everyone know that being an Auror was not that easy. Just a puppet, just want to compete with Aurors who have undergone rigorous training? You're probably not kidding!

As a result, the two Aurors who were ready to show off their skills just pulled a big one. One was defeated at the beginning, and the other was beaten from beginning to end, which directly proves that Aurors are worse than dolls.

Thinking of the consequences of this battle, Delis's blood boiled. He endured the pain and stood up from the ground to help Kingsley.

Delis's sneak attack had no effect. The doll used its own armor spell to deflect his petrification spell, and also diverted the target of the attack.

After locking on Delis, the sound came from the doll's head again——

[Threat increases, Action 2 agreement passed, implementation begins]

Delis wanted to show off his skills, but Kingsley, who was still smoking, rushed to his side, sprinkled a handful of Floo powder into the fire in the fireplace beside him with his left hand, and directly grabbed Delis by the collar with his right hand. Rushed into the flames that turned green.

At the same time, he yelled "Diagon Alley", and the green flames engulfed the two figures and took them away from the Ministry of Magic hall.

Unlike Delis who fainted, Kingsley was beaten by the puppet for three full minutes, and he didn't want to continue beating him for a second.

That puppet was ridiculously strong, and he had no reservations about his attack just because the two of them were Aurors from the Ministry of Magic. After hearing that it decided to activate "Operation Protocol Two", Kingsley felt that if the fight continued, someone would definitely die, so he simply ran away.

Delis, who was caught by Kingsley, felt a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart: You and I are coming together, that doll may not be our opponent. If you run away now, how will you face your colleagues from the Ministry of Magic in the future? Then he saw an extremely powerful magic spell coming towards him.

The curse easily turned the fireplace into powder, and even rushed into the floo network. It seemed that he would not stop until he chopped Delis into pieces. Fortunately, the floo network had been activated, leading the two of them towards the opposite corner. Flying in the direction of the alley, Delis saved his life - he could even feel the dust raised by the curse hitting his face!

When he fell on his back and looked at the familiar ceiling of the Leaky Cauldron above him, he thanked Kingsley from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Kingsley."

After beating the two senior Aurors to flight, the puppet put away the palm sword and arm shield, stood on the spot and returned to standby mode. After a one-sided battle, none of its robes were dirty.

Seeing the calm and calm puppet, the wizards who were watching couldn't help but whisper.

"How many Aurors do you think this doll can defeat?" "It won't be a problem to defeat three or five."

"I think the people in that office can't stand it!" "Keep your voice down, Scrimgeour is right across the way..."

“I don’t know how much it costs and how is the quality?”

"Ms. White said that it is guaranteed, but the price must be very unfriendly. You will never be able to afford it in your life."

"Are you kidding? I can save six to seven hundred Galleons in a year without eating or drinking. I can buy one and take it home in twenty years at most!"

The puppet suddenly tilted its head and looked at the crowd of onlookers, which scared the wizards to tremble, fearing that it would "execute" themselves.

[Ms. White asked me to give you a message. It’s Christmas right now, and the automatic combat figures and upgraded accessories are on sale at a 20% discount. They will return to their original prices after the holiday. If you want to buy it, hurry up and it will be shipped in the order of your order]

Helga drove the puppet to perform magical wallet magic on the officials of the Ministry of Magic. It seemed that with just a snap of her fingers, everyone's wallets deflated and their vaults became empty.

After much deliberation, I decided to post a two-in-one chapter~

Good night everyone, there will definitely be an update on Saturday.
