#192 - Celebration Banquet

The completed metal magic book radiated a more dazzling magical aura than the original, continuously emitting waves of magical power.

This was unavoidable, as this was a replica. Anduin prioritized practicality in its construction and couldn't achieve the natural perfection of the original, inevitably leading to some magic leakage. However, as long as it was regularly replenished with magic, its effect would be similar to the original.

With the magic book completed, only one last step remained. Anduin drew out the 'No-Damage Hammer,' switched to the 'Enhancement' face, and began hammering the 'metal brick' vigorously.

After being hammered hard, the magical light on the magic book became much more concealed. This was because the runes and magical arrays on it had begun to fuse with the material, and the magical channels between different spells had become closer, reducing magic leakage.

Then all that was left to do was to be a porter. Anduin carefully transferred all kinds of spells and records from the original magic book to his metal magic book.

Upon seeing this, Yulia became anxious. It was one thing for this guy to replicate the spells, but now he even wanted to steal the usage records, which contained many family secrets. She quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Wait! It's fine if you replicate the spells, but you can't take these records. These are the research results of our family for many years. How dare you..."

"Shut up!" Anduin glanced at Yulia with cold eyes. He had been annoyed by this woman for a long time. Ever since he entered the library, she had been saying sarcastic remarks from the side. Now she even wanted to tell him what to do. Who did she think she was, still that high and mighty noble lady?

"Enough nonsense. Our agreement stated that all the knowledge of your family, as long as I fancy it, is mine. You have no right to resist. In my eyes, the Travers family is no different from a cockroach at my feet. What you should be doing now is praying, praying that I don't step on you when I'm in a bad mood."

Then, Anduin sneered and continued his copying work.

Yulia was startled by Anduin's threatening words, and coupled with prolonged fatigue and mental tension, she collapsed and burst into tears on the spot, utterly miserable.

Looking at the wailing Yulia, Anduin couldn't muster any sympathy for her. He only felt that she deserved it, and she was being too noisy. He couldn't help but cast a sonic expulsion spell at her location and continued copying the spells from the magic book.

The various magic spells, poison spells, and curses on the magic book were easily copied onto the metal magic book through his replication spell. The only slightly troublesome thing was the ancient lightning rune.

Because the original rune itself contained a lot of energy, and the original rune couldn't be directly constructed with magic without analysis, nor did it have a spell, so the unanalyzed original rune was almost unique. This was also the reason why Lucius asked Yulia to temporarily store it in the magic book.

Since that was the case, he might as well just take the entire rune away. Anduin didn't have time to analyze the rune clearly before copying it, so he directly transferred the rune.

The metal magic book, which was forged with a large number of precious materials, lived up to expectations and carried the rune relatively easily. At this time, the position of the lightning rune on the original magic book was empty.

After dealing with the magic book, Anduin didn't stop. He then began to copy the precious books that he had selected.

As for the book 'Endless Darkness,' because it was also a magic book containing magic, and ordinary parchment couldn't fully bear the runes within, Anduin simply rewrote it into the metal magic book, which could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

Another two hours passed. Including Slytherin's manuscript, Anduin finally copied 300 books of information, all of which were carefully selected rare editions that couldn't be seen outside.

At this point, Anduin relaxed and stretched. This trip took 22 hours, which exhausted him.

Then, Anduin didn't even look at the dejected Yulia next to him and walked straight out of the Travers Manor.

After returning to the Longbottom's house, Anduin rested well for two days. After that, he spent a few days playing with Augusta and Neville, on the one hand, to relax, and on the other hand, he used this time to sort out the gains of the past few days and put away all kinds of materials in categories.

This day finally came to the day of the celebration banquet held by the Ministry of Magic. Anduin, dressed in a brand-new ink-colored dress suit, walked into the Longbottom's house with vigor, and waiting for him was Augusta, who was also dressed in formal attire and had been waiting for a long time.

"Aren't you asking Alger to take care of Neville today?" Anduin looked at Augusta with some confusion.

"No, it's not good to keep Neville cooped up at home all the time. Let's take this opportunity to take him out to play. Look, I even made a small dress suit for Neville."

Augusta pulled Neville out from behind her, and Anduin realized that little Neville was also dressed neatly, and even his hair was combed meticulously by Augusta.

Anduin smiled and picked up Neville, then seemed to think of something and tilted his head to ask Augusta, "With Neville, how do we get there? He's too young to use Apparition, the child can't stand that feeling. Using the Floo Network requires you to shout out the place name yourself, and I haven't heard of the Floo Network being able to carry people."

"Don't worry about that, I plan to take Muggle transportation, that's why I asked you to prepare so early," Augusta said with a smile.

So that's how it is. Anduin nodded, then carried Neville and left the house with Augusta.

Near noon, Anduin and his party finally entered the Ministry of Magic again. At this time, the lobby of the Ministry of Magic was crowded with people, and at a glance, many reporters blocked the entrance.

As soon as Anduin and Augusta appeared, they were immediately recognized by the onlookers, and then someone shouted loudly, "Here they are, that underage wizard is here, it's the war hero Anduin!"

Instantly, a group of reporters and onlookers turned their attention, and then a barrage of flashes flashed at Anduin, and this commotion startled Neville in Anduin's arms, and he burst into tears with a 'wah'.

Anduin was also taken aback, why was there such a big scene? Before they could react, Vanessa squeezed out of the crowd and pulled Anduin and Augusta into the elevator.

"Merlin's beard, why are so many people gathered today?" Augusta was dizzy from the flashes and hurriedly asked Vanessa.

"It's all thanks to Anduin," Vanessa couldn't help but roll her eyes at Anduin.

"Me?" Anduin was a little confused.
