Chapter 132
After the event, Argus had a trace of fatigue in his eyes. He gave Hermione's family an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Mr. Granger, Mrs. Granger, I kept you waiting." "No, we just arrived too." Mrs. Granger smiled. "If you don't mind, let me take you around here." "Okay!" Mrs. Granger also wanted to know more about the boy her daughter had been thinking about. Under Argus's leadership, the group walked through Diagon Alley. Hermione, who was stimulated, did not stay at the Saint or the Leaky Cauldron for a night as originally planned. After accompanying her parents to experience wizard life, she said goodbye to Argus and left. This made Argus a little more puzzled.
"Are they gone?"
On the stairs, Vita walked towards Argus with a wand and a cloak.
Argus nodded: "They left. Originally, Hermione was supposed to bring her parents here to stay for one night, but they seemed to have something to do."
Seeing the item in Vita's hand, his eyes lit up immediately.
"Is this the magic item that was researched before?"
"It can only be said to be a semi-finished product. The spell was cast according to your requirements. As long as there is magic invasion or damage, the series of alchemical items made by alchemy will be destroyed immediately."
"I can't see anything."
Argus took the wand and took a quick look.
The wand is made of chestnut wood.
The characteristics of chestnut wood make it like a blank sheet of paper, with almost no special effects and tendencies, and it is completely controlled by the core of the wand.
It is perfect for making this kind of magic item.
Moreover, the price of chestnut wood is not too high. If it is holly or elderberry, the cost is estimated to be several times higher.
"Just inject magic power?"
"Yes, aim the tip of the wand at the target, and then inject magic power."
Agus injected magic power into the wand according to the magic power consumption of releasing the disarming spell normally.
The next second, a red light flashed!
It hit the chair not far away.
Bang!
The good chair was smashed to pieces by Agus.
Vita glanced at him and used magic to restore the chair.
"It's really not powerful!"
Agus could feel that the power of this disarming spell was only about level 2.
It was equivalent to the level of a beginner in disarming spell.
If the magic power release was reduced, the power would probably be even lower.
No wonder Vita said it was useless.
For those with weaker strength, consuming a lot of magic power to release a weak disarming spell, and having an extra wand in hand, it was really not worth it.
It's even more useless for masters.
What can a level 2 disarming spell do?
The only thing worth praising is silent casting!
"Does it have to be made into a wand shape? Can't it be modified? For example, a ring?"
Argus frowned slightly and asked Vita.
"It should be possible after further research. After all, this cloak is not in the shape of a wand."
"I don't know much about alchemy. I need to ask them for the specific situation."
"That's good." Argus breathed a sigh of relief.
If it can be changed into a ring or something like that, the use of this disarming spell will be much greater.
"As for the cloak..."
Argus picked it up and tried it.
The level of the armor spell contained on it is similar to that of the wand, both of which are second-level spells.
But compared to the wand, the cloak is much more convenient.
It's enough to wear it on the body to transfer magic power.
"Next, it's to find Lockhart to cheat a sum of research funds!"
Argus showed a devilish smile, and his eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of Hogwarts.
Gold Galleon, here I come!
...
The Christmas holiday passed in a flash.
Soon, it was the day to go back to school.
The little wizards who returned to school were obviously not awake from the festive atmosphere of Christmas.
They were playing and joking, completely forgetting the upcoming classes and exams.
While everyone was sharing what they did during their vacation, Argus came to Lockhart's office alone.
Knock, knock!
"Come in!"
Seeing Argus, Lockhart showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
He immediately turned into a standard eight-tooth smile.
"Mr. Grindelwald, are you here to get my autograph?"
"Then you've found the right person. I remember that I signed a lot of autographs for you at the last signing event at Saint's Bookstore."
"You misunderstood, Professor Lockhart. I'm here to talk business with you." Argus got straight to the point.
"Business? Saint's Bookstore wants to buy another batch of
Lockhart series?"
"Of course! You know, the experience of a famous adventurer like me will always be more sought after."
Aggs ignored his boasting and took out the cloak and wand from the carry-on suitcase of the traceless extension spell.
"Two magic items, both suitable for you."
"Take a look."
"Not talking about books?" Hearing that it was magic items, Lockhart's enthusiasm dropped a lot.
In his eyes, no magic item is more important than his fame.
Seeing the appearance of the wand and cloak, he couldn't help showing a look of disgust.
"Such tattered things are not worthy of my status."
"Don't forget, I, Gilderoy Lockhart, am the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts!"
"You lost in the dueling club."
"I am an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Magic League and have won the Most Charming Smile Award of "Wizard Weekly" five times!"
"You lost in the dueling club. "
"I am a third-class Order of Merlin!"
"You lost in the dueling club."
"Can you please not mention this!" Lockhart was a little angry.
His neck turned red!
Argus's expression remained unchanged: "Yes!"
"You were bullied by the Cornish elves in class..."
"Shut up!" Lockhart slammed the table and gritted his teeth in anger.
"Mr. Grindelwald, is this how you talk about business?"
"If that's the case, I have to consider whether to cooperate with Saints Bookstore to sell the Lockhart series in the future!"
Argus put the wand and cloak on the table.
"What if I say that these two magic items can help you regain your reputation?"
This sentence really caught Lockhart's key point.
He can do without money and get hurt.
But he must not lose his reputation!
Lockhart stared at the wand and cloak in Argus's hand: "What do you mean? "
"These two items are the latest magic items developed by the Saints Group, which can release the Disarming Charm and the Shield Charm."
"You only need to transfer magic power, and nothing else is needed."
Aggs' tone was full of temptation: "Imagine it, in public, silently releasing the Disarming Charm."
"Release the Shield Charm without sound and wand!"
"With this strength, who would doubt that Gilderoy Lockhart is not worthy of his reputation?"
Lockhart's eyes changed, and he looked at the wand and cloak with a bit of fanaticism.
"I want these two!"
"How many gold galleons! "
Argus thought for a moment and looked Lockhart up and down.
He estimated Lockhart's reserve price in his heart.
Five thousand gold galleons, should be about right!
With his financial resources, this amount of money is not difficult to obtain.
Under Lockhart's gaze, he slowly stretched out five fingers.
Lockhart obviously hesitated for a moment when he saw this.
Grit his teeth!
"Okay, fifty thousand gold galleons is fifty thousand gold galleons!"
"I'll give it to you!"
