#234 - Muscle Golden Wheel Meng Qiqi

Anduin was very pleased with this change, which not only signified Kiki's transformation but also allowed him to gain a deeper understanding of house-elves as a species. With Kiki by his side, he could conduct observations, studies, and experiments up close.

The deeply ingrained slave mentality of house-elves troubled him. In reality, house-elves possessed many advantages, such as an innate magical awareness and the ability to perform wandless magic. Although their magical power was somewhat low, Kiki, for example, had about 170 'ke,' which was stronger than Vivian.

Moreover, their magic, as Professor Kettleburn had said, was a self-contained system. The principles behind many of their spells differed greatly from those of wizards, especially in their Apparition. Even within Hogwarts, where anti-Apparition Charms were in place throughout the castle, Kiki could still flit around, which Anduin envied immensely.

Anduin had been trying to understand the principles behind this and learn it himself, but he discovered that even when using the same spells, the effects were slightly different. Kiki could cast spells that Anduin couldn't, and Kiki couldn't cast some of the spells commonly used by wizards in the way wizards did.

After several attempts, Anduin could only attribute it to differences in their physical constitutions and magical systems.

Unfortunately, house-elves were often at a disadvantage due to their personalities. Despite their considerable strength, they were inherently oppressed. They always changed for their masters, and few house-elves ever changed for themselves, which was likely due to the long-standing wizarding tradition of taming them.

Therefore, although willpower training had subtly made Kiki braver and more resilient, it was all dependent on Anduin. Her deep-seated timidity had not been completely eradicated.

Anduin had been trying to change this through communication, education, and training, and ultimately found that training was more effective. At least now Kiki had accepted wearing clothes, receiving wages, and occasionally voicing her own opinions.

If the personality flaws of house-elves could be overcome, would that mean that a batch of warriors who could ignore anti-Apparition Charms could be trained en masse?

Thinking of this, Anduin's eyes burned as he looked at Kiki. He planned to use Kiki as an example, training her into a powerful house-elf warrior who didn't need a wand, wasn't affected by anti-Apparition Charms, and, with sufficient armaments, would be perfect for assassination and infiltration. No matter how safe the enemy's hiding place, she could be like a sharp knife straight to the enemy's heart.

Imagining a usually gentle and diligent house-elf revealing a body covered in bronze, muscular, and powerful muscles after taking off her clothes, then putting on a tactical suit with various equipment, instantly transforming into a heroic Kiki, Anduin couldn't help but narrow his eyes in satisfaction, his heart filled with anticipation.

"Master, Master! The meat seems to be really overcooked," Kiki couldn't help but remind Anduin, who was lost in thought.

"Ah? Oh, sorry." Anduin looked down and saw that it was true. A lot of the beef was burnt, so he hurriedly sprinkled some seasoning on it and took it out to distribute to the group of small animals beside him, who were already eagerly waiting.

The Kneazle was especially impatient, jumping onto Anduin's shoulder in a flash, like a real gluttonous cat, meowing incessantly. The Diricawl and Knarl next to it were also hurriedly climbing onto him, as if they would miss out if they were too slow.

"Okay, okay, there's enough for everyone, don't grab. Hogg, why don't you take care of your little buddies?" Anduin, unable to cope with these little fellows, quickly called out to Hogg.

But when he turned around, Hogg's dumb, goofy husky face was only five centimeters away from him, staring straight at him. Clearly, he was also drooling, waiting for his share of meat. He probably wanted to pounce on him himself, but he was too big and embarrassed.

After messing around with these guys for a while, Anduin finally managed to feed this group of magical creatures, and then he had time to take the stuffed Hogg and Kiki into the Forbidden Forest.

Leading Kiki and Hogg, Anduin left the range of Hogwarts' magical array and found a flat area in the Forbidden Forest.

"Master, are you doing another experiment today? We've tried so many methods, but I still can't cast spells," Hogg had been in contact with Anduin for so long that he knew that this master was a research maniac who loved to do experiments whenever he had time, and he was used to it now.

"Just because you can't cast spells doesn't mean you have to waste the magic power in you, and your potential hasn't been fully developed yet," Anduin smiled, then took out two props from his body and showed them to Hogg.

"This is? A vest?" Hogg tilted his head, leaned forward to smell it, and looked at Anduin with some confusion.

In front of Hogg, Anduin took out a vest and a pair of goggles. The vest looked similar to his fur color, looked very thick, the material was a bit like leather, and some metal materials were inlaid on it. There was a circular bulge on the back of the vest, just like a metal ball was inserted in it, and several small pockets were also equipped on both sides.

"This is not an ordinary vest. This is a tactical vest specially prepared for you. It can extract the magic power from your body to cast some magic. Try it on," Anduin said and put the vest on Hogg.

The small vest was very fit. After Hogg put it on, it looked like the protective vest worn by military dogs and police dogs in the Muggle world. Wearing goggles, he looked a lot more energetic and had the appearance of a police dog.

But who uses a husky as a police dog?

"Mr. Hogg, you look so handsome," Kiki looked at the big dog in front of her with a smile and sincerely praised.

"Really?" When Hogg heard this, he immediately got excited, jumped up and posed a few times, showing off on his own, and then kept circling around his tail. He wanted to take a good look at his image, but there was no mirror in front of him, so he could only tilt his head to look, and finally he started spinning in one direction.

"Okay, okay, stop showing off. Next, let me explain the use and function of this tactical vest to you," Anduin shook his head as he looked at the excited Hogg. As expected, he still couldn't get rid of the dog's nature and was always yelling.

"Come on, Master Anduin, I am now full of power. Did this little vest increase my strength? I now feel that I can bite a cow to death in one bite," Hogg then grinned and bared his fangs, pretending to bite the big tree beside him.
