#244 - Everyone wants to beat the Erha (ask for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

The process of engraving runes is a bit troublesome, mainly because the lathe operation cannot perform blind engraving, and the engraving accuracy is also relatively poor. After all, machines are more rigid compared to humans. With his current level, he can't engrave on curved surfaces.

→ However, this can be made do with for now. At worst, all standardized equipment will use the bright engraving method, and all areas for engraving runes will be made into flat surfaces. Those beautifully shaped amulets in his hands will all be made into coin-like metal plates, so be it if they are a bit ugly.

What bothers him the most now is the magic power issue. Since it is an automated magic lathe, how can it lack energy?

But if he wants to engrave runes, he has to use magic power for the energy, at least he must use magic power to drive the lathe when engraving runes. However, after Anduin's calculations, the magic power extracted and stored by the 'Energy Absorption Charms' at home is not enough to support a lathe working for a long time.

Do I have to personally input magic power into the lathe? Anduin's head grew bigger at the thought.

The magic power required to drive the lathe, plus the magic power required for the alchemy tools for engraving runes, and the magic power transmission and control of the magic machinery cannot be done with very high efficiency, and there will definitely be some losses along the way.

Calculating like this, the magic power required to make an ordinary protective amulet with the lathe is three times the magic power consumed by Anduin making an amulet himself.

In that case, even if he, Kiki, and Hogg are included, they won't be able to work for long even if they are exhausted.

Moreover, if they give all their magic power to the lathe, will they still need to use magic power themselves? This path is obviously not feasible.

Then hire someone to replenish magic power? This would save costs compared to directly hiring a skilled person who can help engrave runes, but he doesn't want to expose the secret of the lathe.

With the magic lathe, he can maintain a price advantage while mass-producing alchemy equipment, so even if someone imitates him, they won't be able to steal his business.

After all, the selling price of alchemy道具 is lower than the cost of piracy, so probably no one would bother to make pirated versions.

While Anduin was frowning at the drawings, the air in front of his workbench suddenly stirred, and then a house elf appeared, holding a tray and wearing plain clothes.

It was Kiki, apparating.

"Master, lunch is ready, would you like to take a break?" Kiki hopped and skipped, placing the tray on an empty space on the workbench, and reminded him softly.

"Oh, thank you." Anduin was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at the clock next to him, only to realize that he had been thinking for a whole morning, and it was even past lunchtime.

"Today, according to the menu you taught me before, I made Mao Xue Wang with tebo wart hog blood, braised lion's head, dry-fried四季豆, and rice." Kiki carefully placed the tray in front of Anduin, and then introduced it with a slightly boastful tone.

"Yes, well done." Anduin sincerely praised after tasting a few bites of the dishes.

Now Kiki is not only more confident and lively than at the beginning, but her cooking skills have also improved rapidly. Since arriving at Diagon Alley, Anduin has basically entrusted her with his food and daily life.

It has to be said that she is indeed a house elf. She uses household magic with superb skill, and Anduin has even become accustomed to and dependent on such a life.

"By the way, where is Hogg? Is he still wrestling with that sofa on the second floor?" Anduin asked jokingly while eating.

This husky is always restless. Since following Anduin to his home in Diagon Alley, he has been uneasy. At first, he just patrolled around like a boss, and then he began to run around in Diagon Alley.

At first, Anduin's neighbors actually liked this cute silly dog quite a bit. They would tease him from time to time, and occasionally feed him some food.

But since he bit off Mrs. Pernel's table leg next door, knocked over two rows of wand shelves at Ollivander's, bit a Gringotts goblin, peed in front of Flourish and Blotts for two consecutive days, and always stared at the round-faced fat chickens in Eeylops Owl Emporium, drooling.

He finally became a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted to beat in Diagon Alley. Even Tom would exclaim 'Merlin's beard' when he saw him. Now Hogg has achieved a Grand Slam of being rejected by all the shops in Diagon Alley.

This also made Anduin extremely embarrassed. In the first few days, he had to lead Hogg to apologize to people, just like his child had beaten someone.

Since then, Anduin has kept a close eye on Hogg, not allowing him to run out and cause trouble. This guy is really worrying when he goes wild.

But Hogg, who can't go out, is never idle every day, and then he starts causing trouble in the house, either wrestling with tables and chairs, or disliking pots and pans. These two days, he seems to hate the sofa on the second floor, and always wants to bite it to pieces.

Fortunately, Anduin knows magic, and these small damages can be repaired with a wave of his wand. Let him bite if he likes.

However, he doesn't dare to let Hogg run to the basement. It would be troublesome if he damaged the half-finished magic equipment or magic circle.

"He seems to have changed his nature today. He is no longer biting the sofa, but is scratching the thing called a lamp that the master brought back." Kiki recalled the scene she saw in the morning, and told everything in detail.

"That's ridiculous, that equipment is what I bought back for research, don't break it for me." As soon as Anduin heard this, he stood up quickly, he had to warn Hogg not to mess around too much.

Anduin always likes to buy some electrical appliances from the Muggle world, mainly to study the internal circuits, wiring, motherboards, etc., to see if he can provide some inspiration for the development of his lathe, rune array, and alchemy tools. There is no electricity in Diagon Alley, so these electrical appliances cannot be turned on, and now I don't know if they are broken.

After finishing his meal hastily, Anduin pulled Kiki and apparated to the second floor. As a result, as soon as he appeared, he saw Hogg doing something.

He saw Hogg lifting his hips and arching his back, sticking his butt out and facing the high-legged lamp that Anduin had bought back a few meters away, and also activated the floating炮 on his tactical vest, and kept twisting his butt to adjust his position and aim.

When Anduin apparated out, the floating炮 on Hogg's back had already begun to flash with wisps of electric light.

"Don't!" Seeing this scene, Anduin only felt that his heart was filled with 'fuck fuck', and he quickly stopped him loudly.

Hogg's heart also thumped when he suddenly heard Anduin's voice, knowing that he was going to be screwed, he was discovered.

But at this time, he couldn't stop. In order to be scolded less later, he had to quickly retract his magic power, but the floating炮 on his back still fired, and a thin beam of electric current hit the lamp in front of him solidly.
