Connor's Hogwarts

We know that under normal circumstances, wizards build houses by themselves. They can't collapse anyway, so they build them casually, so there are no wizards who specialize in house-building techniques.

In the wizarding world, [enchanters] usually work part-time as architects, and are senior technical personnel who integrate design, construction, and decoration.

Connor watched them build the house this week and learned a lot.

The so-called enchanter is a wizard who enchants objects. When you want to build some buildings that will restore themselves even if they are destroyed, you need to use enchanting technology.

In fact, the completed competition hall, like Hogwarts Castle, already belongs to a "whole", which can be regarded as a super-large magic prop, and this is the credit of these enchanters. Covering" to make it a whole, every brick and tile is indivisible.

It sounds powerful, but it’s actually average. [Enchanting] is mostly repetitive work without much technical content. On the contrary, building a house is a bit more complicated.

The professional division of wizards is actually not much. After all, magic is too omnipotent. For Muggles, things that are very complicated can be easily solved with magic, but... most wizards don't know yet. Starting tomorrow, the wizarding world A brand new, epoch-making and vital profession will be born...

Connor watched the architectural magicians leave, and the little secretary behind him stepped forward, took the document that had just been handed over from Connor, and then obediently stood aside.

"What time is it, Penello?"

"Five thirty-one in the afternoon."

"There are still six hours and 24 minutes until October [-]st..." Connor smiled slightly: "Get ready, welcome the new era with me, tomorrow's wizarding world...everything will be different..."

(First issued and then changed...)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The time is October 1992, 10, at 1:35 in the morning.
Location: Diagon Alley.
At this time, the shops in Diagon Alley were basically closed, but Diagon Alley was already full of people. Of course, these people came to Diagon Alley to buy things. Maybe the products they wanted to buy were different, but their The destination is the same - they are all waiting for the Lake experience store to open.
Today is a special day. The Lake store will sell several products at the same time today. Wizards who come here with various purposes gather here, and their eyes are full of anticipation.
Miranda Richardson is a reporter for the Wizarding Monthly. Unlike those reporters who like to sensationalize with lace news, Miranda is a reporter who is faithful to the facts. She likes words and poetry and hates Rita. Skeeter.
Miranda also came to Diagon Alley early today. Almost all journalists like the Lakes. The Lakes have provided too much news material in the past few years. If there is no accident today, there will be a big news.
The lake shop will open soon, and Miranda intends to interview a few more people, so she chooses a striking young wizard with pink hair at the front of the queue.
"Excuse me, my friend. I am Miranda Richardson, a reporter from the Wizarding Monthly. Do you have time to accept my interview?"
"Interview? It's not just a video interview."
"Okay, then cancel the video interview part..." Miranda took back the small floating object floating by her side, that was her portable interview camera, and took out her notebook and interview pen, "Let's conduct a simple text interview , First of all, miss, please do a simple self-termination..."
"You call me Tonks...ah no, call me Evie. I'm an ordinary social animal in the Ministry of Magic. I just graduated two years ago."
"Uh, okay, Miss Evie, how long have you been in line today?"
"It's been more than an hour. Hey, why can't this Lake store open earlier? I have to go back to work later. It seems that I will be late again today. I don't know who I will be this time.. .”
"?" Miranda automatically ignored some unimportant news, and continued to ask: "...Miss Evie, what are you going to buy today? Is it a new monster card? Or a magic card? Or... "
"What to buy?" Tonks interrupted with a look of surprise: "Of course I will buy them all! New monster cards, magic cards, housekeeping puppets, magic stones... I want to buy them all! I can buy as much as I can. !"
"Uh...uh, buy... all of them? It seems that Miss Evie's budget is very high..."
"No, no, no, of course I'm here to stock up! These hot items can be resold and sold to make a lot of money! Reselling them can be worth my salary for several months!"
"Ah...cough cough, Miss Evie is very business-minded..."
"Hey, I just know some special channels to earn some pocket money. In fact, I mainly buy them for my own use..."
"Oh? It seems that Ms. Evie is well prepared. Can you share your shopping plan?"
"Well... I bought monster cards to collect all the illustrations. This is a must; the magic cards of the Lake family are finally on sale, so I have to support this, and because of the work that needs to use magic cards. There are a lot; I have to buy a housekeeping puppet. I live alone after work, and it’s really annoying to have no house elves to help with those housework. This is a great help, and I heard that the housekeeping puppet can also customize the appearance! Hey Hehe, I understand everything..."
"..." What kind of lady is this? Why doesn't she speak human words? Miranda maintains an awkward yet polite smile, carefully memorizing the interview records.
"...and the Philosopher's Stone, that's the Philosopher's Stone, isn't it too much to buy seven or eight? Although I don't know what it's useful for, but I'll buy it first, and it's also an excellent backup energy for housekeeping puppets Well..."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much for the interview."
"You're welcome."
Miranda bid farewell to E...Tonks, and continued to walk to the front of the line, intending to interview a few more people, but Tonks behind her changed her hair color, took out her Facebook and started a group.
At this moment, the huge three-story billboard on the front of the Lake experience store suddenly shone brightly, and the dynamic music sounded at the same time attracted everyone's attention, and the long queue of wizards looked up.
I saw a...beauty suddenly appear on the huge combined billboards.
This is an indescribably beautiful woman. She has beautiful long golden hair, perfect facial features like a sculpture, fair and delicate skin, and is wearing an elegant long dress. She perfectly fits everyone's fantasy of a "goddess", especially When she opened her eyes, it seemed that people could fall into her tender eyes unconsciously. The moment she appeared, the noisy square became silent, and then... the crowd began to boil.
"Oh! My God! How can there be such a perfect woman in the world!? Who is that? I think I'm in love!"
"Is that really the beauty that humans can possess? Tell me, this is not an image, yes! This must have been drawn by the Lake family! It is a painting!"
"Merlin's beard! I must be dreaming, right? Yes, I am dreaming, how could I see my wife in reality..."
Wizards are also obsessed with beauty. The sudden appearance of beauties messed up the otherwise well-behaved wizards. Some even tried to ride a broom to the sky. The scene was in chaos.
At this moment, the beauty spoke.
"Hi everyone, this is the first time we meet. I am Helen, a witch who exists in the gap between the worlds."
Her voice was like fairy music in the world, and many wizards heard it, as if they were under some spell, and wriggled tremblingly on the spot...
"Sure enough! This is a magic painting! This is a magic painting, right! There really can't be such a perfect person in this world, this must be a magic painting!"
"So it's not human...but I'm more excited, what should I do?"
"You're right buddy, my housemaid suddenly has a reference. If this is the conspiracy of the Lake family, I have to say, I've been tricked!"
"Woc! Good guy! I want to buy a puppet too! No! I want to buy two!"
The wizards suddenly became excited as if they drank chicken blood, and the air was suddenly flooded with hormones...
"...It's a pleasure meeting you all. Next, I will introduce the various products that are officially released today..." Helen continued to release her charm, and at the same time began to introduce the products released today:
"First of all, this month's new monster card, King Arthur's royal magician [Merlin], a very powerful new gold card, everyone, don't miss it~"
"Aww!!!" There was a uniform roar from under the billboard. The shopping enthusiasm of the wizards today seems to be far greater than ever...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Next is the long-awaited Lake magic card! There are 17 kinds of magic cards on sale this time, including [Cleansing Curse], [Luminescence Curse], [Iron Armor Curse] and many other commonly used spells. Each card The card is only sold for 1 Sickle, and this month there is an event promotion to buy ten get one free! Lake magic card, make the most correct choice!"
"Ow!!!"
Helen is undoubtedly an excellent salesman. She successfully used words to arouse the emotions of the customers. The wizards in front of the Lake store looked up at Helen and introduced the functions of the magic cards one by one. Fascinated.
Of course, there are also people who don't like this, such as Tonks who is angrily pressing the Facebook group.
[lv100 Big Water Monster] Tonks: Hey, hey, what's going on with this Helen?Does anyone know?Is this Connor's new trick?
[lv35 graduate old man] Charlie: Good morning Tonks, what are you talking about?What Helen?
[lv100 Big Water Monster] Tonks: Watch for yourself: [Video] [Video]
[lv33 graduate old man] Aiden: F***! ?
[lv35 graduate old man] Charlie: F***! ?
[lv66 Graduation Boss] Jacob:? ? ?who is thisIs there a way to get in touch?
[lv20 Advanced Assassin] Qiu: Wow!Such a beautiful person, who is this?
[lv100 Big Water Monster] Tonks: You don't even know?Didn't you pay attention to the launch event of Lake Store today?Where's Connor?Did you draw this woman?
[lv60 Club Core] Penello: Ah, this one was indeed drawn by Connor, but it’s not a magic painting.
[lv100 Big Water Monster] Tonks: It's a painting, isn't it a magic painting?what is that?
[lv60 Club Core] Penello: Connor said it was just a leather case. In fact, someone is secretly controlling Helen. She is an ordinary painting without her own thoughts. Hearing from Connor, Helen will take pictures in the future. movie or something...
It really was a new trick that guy came up with!Tonks looked around at the group of fanatical wizards, and rubbed his arms with disgust on his face. Who are these people?Going crazy over a woman who doesn't even exist is disgusting!
At this time, Helen had finished introducing the magic cards and entered the next link.
"The new product I'm going to introduce next will definitely surprise everyone!" Helen in the billboard raised her left hand falsely, and then a long pen emitting colorful rays of light appeared in her palm, "This is [magic pen]! Some friends may have the impression, yes, this is the magical paintbrush that appeared at the end of the Monster Cup! The function of this brush is very simple, that is, to allow the person holding the brush to draw magical paintings!"
"Whether you can use magic or not, as long as you have magic power in your body, you can use this magic brush, and you can not only use it to draw your favorite magic paintings, but also use it to make magic cards !During this month’s event, the 233% discount for the magic pen is only [-] silver Sickles... Besides, the magic pen has various magical functions. After that, there will be a special popular science video to explain it to everyone. Say more..."
"Oh, is that the pen used to draw new cards on the Yokai Cup? It looks very interesting..."
"Didn't you hear the price clearly? That's fourteen Galleons! It's less than half a month's salary, why buy such useless things? Can you draw?"
"That's right, it seems a bit too expensive, but those squibs should be very excited, after all, that money can be used to make magic cards, right..."
The appearance of the magic pen caused a lot of discussion, but the response was not too big. The current wizards still don't know what the magic pen means...
Soon Helen started the next round of introductions, and this time the atmosphere at the scene was obviously much hotter.
"The next thing I want to introduce is the latest product [Housekeeping Puppet] launched by the Lake family..."
"Awwhhh!!!" (noise)
Helena smiled slightly, "It seems that everyone is looking forward to this new product..."
"Laughed! The Goddess laughed!" "My life is complete!"
"...Housekeeping puppet is a magical product that the Lake family has researched for many years. Each housekeeping puppet has skilled housekeeping skills and can provide the best housekeeping services for the owner, whether it is managing the internal and external family business, managing family income and expenditure, Helping with family education... or babysitting, cleaning and helping the kitchen, private special services... the housekeeping puppet can be perfectly completed, and the Lake family guarantees that the ability of the housekeeping puppet will not be weaker than the house elf..."
"...Housekeeping puppet has extremely high intelligence. The power core is the magic stone. There is no other consumption during the trial period. The shelf life of use is more than 100 years. It can perform self-maintenance and self-maintenance independently without worrying about after-sales service. The chip module for self-improvement is the servant of the perfect wizard..."
"...During this month's event, all golems will get a 666% discount! The standard housekeeping golem is priced at 888 Gold Galleons, the enhanced version of Housekeeping Golem is priced at 999 Gold Galleons, and the supreme version of the Family Golem is only priced at [-] Gold Galleons Long, the appearance design service will be provided free of charge for the first purchase, the quantity is limited, first come, first served, everyone should seize the opportunity~? (wink!)”
"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
"Tsk, the Lake family is going to make a lot of money now..." Tonks curled her lips, but when she looked at the female puppet on the right side of the billboard, she unconsciously licked her lips, "But this It's really...a temptation that's hard to refuse..."
"...Finally, it is also our most important content today..." Helen raised her hand, and a bright red stone appeared in her palm, "developed by the famous alchemist Nicole Flamel , sold by the Lake family on behalf of them, and now it can be mass-produced, the miracle of alchemy—the Sorcerer’s Stone!”
"This is the real Philosopher's Stone. Any Philosopher's Stone has inexhaustible magic power. Just one Philosopher's Stone can make the alchemy puppet work normally for 100 years. This is a miracle that belongs to our wizards!"
The eyes of the wizards below were hot, and even their breathing became heavy. These words made them feel very proud.
"There may be wizards who wonder what other uses the Sorcerer's Stone has besides recharging housekeeping golems..." Helen smiled again, fascinated by all the old wizards, "According to Mr. Stones can be turned into gold..."
There was another uproar underneath.
"Of course, this is just one of the insignificant functions of the Philosopher's Stone." Helen tapped her hands together, and one after another "concept drawings" appeared on the billboards, dazzled everyone.
"The Lake family has begun to research various magic props that can utilize the energy of the Sorcerer's Stone, such as magic vehicles, magic furniture, and magic castles... Soon, various products that apply new technologies will be available to you. The Sorcerer's Stone will It will completely change our world!"
At this time, it was exactly eight o'clock, Helen opened her arms, and the door of Lake's store opened at the same time, and Helen announced with her beautiful voice:
"The new chapter of the Philosopher's Stone era officially kicks off today, and a beautiful future that is changing with each passing day is waiting for us!"
"Friends, come with me into a new era!"
(cough, cough, first...)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

At the same time as Helen's announcement fell, in the basement of the newly built competition hall at Hogwarts, in a room not open to the public, a man with a bright smile on his face also put down his hands at the same time, and a clear and clear sound suddenly sounded in the room. The applause, the light also became brighter.
"As expected of Professor Lockhart, the performance is very good, and I have more confidence in you." Connor walked out from the side while applauding, followed by the little secretary Penello.
Lockhart showed an expression of crying or laughing, and twitched the corners of his mouth a little stiffly: "Connor, frankly speaking, it really feels a bit...weird..."
That's right, the Helen who appeared on the billboard in Diagon Alley was actually controlled by Lockhart secretly. Connor used special skills to synchronize the movements, expressions and sounds of the two, creating the first "virtual ghost" in the wizarding world. idol" [Helen], and Lockhart is Helen's "man in the middle".
This is also the contract signed by Connor and Lockhart. The Lake family will protect Lockhart from Dumbledore after this semester, but Lockhart will serve the Lake family for ten years.
Now that Lockhart is in the probationary period, Connor promised that after the probationary period, he would leave Lockhart with a position as a general of the Lake Communications Department, with favorable treatment and high position, but Lockhart wanted to "responsible" for his crimes. Reborn", but also need to pay a small price...
"Professor, this is just the beginning. Have you heard the voices of the audience just now? This is not much better than the popular writers you used to make a fuss about. Believe me, [Helen] will definitely become a miracle. Even if it will cause another Trojan War, I will not be surprised, do it well, I am very optimistic about you!"
Connor gave Lockhart a thumbs up, and opened his mouth to draw a big pie.
Lockhart is very good at packaging himself, making others like himself is as simple as eating and drinking for him. As a competent actor and memory master, what he sees most is the human heart.
When he is a best-selling author, he can make women crazy for himself. When he is appointed to be a professor, he can also make people hate himself without revealing his flaws. The talented person is as pitiful as a clown. He is good at playing with people's hearts and enjoys it.
Forced to "play" a woman at this time, although Lockhart instinctively felt a little uncomfortable and awkward, but looking at the group of wizards who were crazy about "himself" on the screen, in fact, he also had some kind of morbid pleasure deep in his heart , this job...surprisingly suits me...
"Ahem, I think it's all because the Helen you drew, Connor, is so beautiful. I think it's hard for anyone not to be moved, right? If I hadn't seen the original painting with my own eyes, I think I would have fallen in love with her."
Connor is not modest: "Of course! Helen is the [Perfect Human] I calculated by combining big data and using arithmetic and divination. Whether it is appearance characteristics or body proportions, it is... ouch! Penello, pinch me! What am I doing?"
"Yes...I'm sorry!" Penello blushed silently and lowered her head, not daring to look at Connor. She couldn't hold back her subconscious just now and moved her hand. As a secretary, she actually pinched the boss's waist. It was really unruly. ...But when these two men are talking, can they be careful that there is a lady standing next to them? !
"Ahem, I'm going to have my next speech soon, Connor, do you...do you still want to listen in?" Lockhart pointed to the "filming equipment" next to it. Eight o'clock is actually just the one in Diagon Alley, London. The press conference, in fact, next Lockhart will connect with Lake experience stores in other countries to give more than ten different speeches. "Attention".
But even though Lockhart didn't care about the presence of others, being watched "live" by two students...was quite embarrassing, and he still needed a period of adaptation.
Connor nodded understandingly, and said, "Professor Lockhart is doing business, I am very relieved, I believe he will not disappoint me, you can use this room as you like, we still have things to deal with, so we won't bother you any more. "
After speaking, Connor and Penello left the room.
This is the basement of the newly built competition hall at Hogwarts. In fact, it does not take a few wizards a week to build this small-scale basement. The reason why they have been busy for so long is actually because of the ...there is another world.
Connor and Penello walked all the way deep into the basement, and stopped when they reached the end of the road.
"Penello?"
"Ah! I'm here!" Penello seemed a little distracted just now, and after being reminded by Connor, he hurriedly took out a sapphire and stuffed it into the mouth of a lion holding a torch on the wall.
The gem disappeared, the magic mechanism was activated, Connor and Penello went straight through the stone wall, and came out to another world when they came out again.
There is still a long corridor in front of me, but it has changed from a dark classical magical style to a bright and extravagant aristocratic style. The simple stone brick walls have become palace walls covered with murals, and the monotonous candle lighting has also become The exquisite magic lamp suddenly changed the style of painting.
Penello turned around and took out the gem from the eagle ring on the wall, followed Connor quickly, and kept nodding to the paintings on the wall along the way, but she knew that the paintings here were "live"...
The two walked through the long corridor and passed many rooms, and met several maids during the period, but those maids were all housekeeping puppets. A small "palace" was built below!Although... this was ordered by Dumbledore...
The two soon arrived at their destination. Penello stepped forward and opened the door, and the two walked into a huge room. Dozens of housekeeping puppets were working, and they were working together to assemble some kind of large In addition, there is another "person" in this room - the ghost of Gryffindor, Nicholas de Mimsy, known as Sir Nicole who is almost headless.
What is being built here is a place conceived by Connor to hide the "core technology" of the Lake family - [Ghost Factory].
In the future, this will be the main base for the production of magic pens and Sorcerer's Stones. No one would have thought that the Lake family would build a factory here, "the safest place in the world", Hogwarts.
"Sir Nicole, how does your new body feel? Are you used to it?" Connor smiled and greeted the flesh-and-blood man in front of him.
The man turned his head suddenly (the head was not thrown out), and he smiled brightly: "Oh! Connor, you are here! And Miss Clearwater! It is difficult for me to describe my excitement in words! If you must If I had to describe my mood in one word, I could only say..."
"Excellent!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The "ghost factory plan", after Quirrell successfully "integrated" with the magic painting, this plan has been formed in Connor's mind. The core of the plan is to combine the ghost and the magic painting, let the ghost master the "core technology", and carry out The production of magic items that cannot be produced by the magic machine of the goblin.
[Ghost Factory] is a very important piece that can influence the future situation of the wizarding world. The fact that this factory can be built in Hogwarts is enough to prove that Dumbledore attaches great importance to it.
The Ghost Factory was built at Hogwarts not only for safety reasons, but also as a result of a compromise between Connor and Dumbledore.
[Magic Brush] It will be the core product of the Lake family in the future. This thing is a fusion of the magic pattern of the magic painting and the brush. It is made by using alchemy combined with the magic scroll technology. Can't do it, the only ones who really master this kind of alchemy are Nicole May and Connor.
Connor can attach this part of knowledge to his magic painting, but a magic painting without a soul cannot use magic, so Connor thought of a way to combine a ghost with a soul and a magic painting with technology, The ghost factory plan also came from this.
"Hogwarts is one of the safest places in the world"...It's not a joke, because Dumbledore is here, he is the most powerful wizard in the world, and the place where he is naturally the safest safe place.
Without being cursed by the ring left by Voldemort, it is not difficult for Dumbledore to be invincible for decades, and there are many ghosts in Hogwarts, which is one of the bases of ghosts in Britain. It has sufficient "human resources". Hogwarts is the safest place for a coveted ghost factory.
Of course, building the factory in Hogwarts also meant that it would be under Dumbledore's supervision. Even today, the Lake family has already been completely tied to Dumbledore, and they can be regarded as people on the same boat. But Dumbledore would not be willing to see the Lake family "dominant"...
Dumbledore is very clear about what this factory means. If it is compared to Muggle society, the ghost factory is similar to a factory that produces chips. It represents "core technology" and is of great importance to the future of the wizarding world. The factory is built in Huo If Gwartz said, then Hogwarts would be considered one of the shareholders. This was old Deng's plan, and Connor didn't care.
In fact, there is another very important reason why Connor is willing to build the factory in Hogwarts, that is, Peeves...Pepper is also in Hogwarts.
The ghost factory is not only for the production of magic pens, it also has a very important task of producing magic stones!
Arturia is now in charge of producing the Philosopher's Stone. Although she never complained to Connor about it, Connor is not willing to let Arturia become a toolmaker for producing the Philosopher's Stone.
In fact, Nicolas has been studying the principle that angels can gather Azot. You must know that angels are essentially a type of "elves", but the elves in this world are not only angels, but also Peeves and... Eater of Souls.
Nico has been researching the use of other elves instead of angels to produce the Philosopher's Stone, but the previous research did not make much progress, but now with the cooperation of Artoria, this research has made a huge breakthrough.
Nico's next plan is to let Peeves Pepper collect loneliness and become a producer of the Philosopher's Stone. He will come to this Hogwarts factory for experiments soon.
And the next plan... is to make an alchemy machine, throw Soul Eater into it, and use Azot, which collects negative emotions, to produce magic stones. Maybe the next ghost factory in the wizarding world will be built in Az caban...
So there are no useless people in this world, but they just haven't found the right way to use them, and the existence of Soul Eater is justified, and one day they will also contribute to the development of the wizarding world...
When the Sorcerer's Stone can realize automatic production, the wizarding world will probably enter a new stage of wizarding society (cross out)...
----
"I never thought that one day I would have my body again! My God! I can even taste food again! Every time I take a bite of a delicious pudding, I feel like I'm going out of my mind!" Sir Nick looked He got very excited, and even habitually pulled out his own neck, but unfortunately his current body is a magic painting, and his neck was not broken.
"It's fine if you get used to it, but you can only move around in this basement for the time being, and I'm really sorry that you can't go outside to see the brand new world..." Connor smiled politely, and had a good chat with Nick.
Nick was the first batch of ghosts who signed a contract with Connor. Connor prepared bodies for them. They worked for Connor according to the contract and kept secrets. Control the body of Mohua to leave this basement... But they seem to be satisfied with the current treatment...
"Haha, we were tired of visiting this world when we were ghosts. I am already very satisfied to have a body to move freely here, and there are not many activity facilities here!? I have long wanted to play the recently popular It’s an arcade machine, and now I finally got my wish, so I’m so happy! Besides, I’m still able to contribute to the development of the wizarding world after I’m dead, isn’t it a kind of happiness!”
Nick's special magic paintings are blessed by the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone. With sufficient magic power, they are basically no different from humans.
Not only that, but they can break away from the magic painting and turn back into ghosts, because the core magic patterns are recorded on the magic painting, and they will naturally lose the memory of the magic patterns used to make the magic brush after they turn back into ghosts (unless they are so powerful that they have all the magic patterns Write it down), and with the non-disclosure agreement in place, Connor is not worried that they will leak the secret.
For them, this ghost factory is like a company that clocks in every day. Even if they die and become ghosts, they must become glorious workers and contribute their own strength to the development of the wizarding world. This professionalism They are all qualified to receive an annual Touching Wizard Award.
In fact, the reason why Sir Nick's ideological awareness is so high is also inseparable from his being a member of the Ghost Assassin Brotherhood. organization...
"By the way, that...Sir Nick, about the recruitment of the ghost factory..."
"Ooooh! Just wrap this on me! It's going to be my death anniversary party soon! Did I tell you? This Halloween is my [-]th death anniversary."
"Yeah, I know."
"That's right, I'll be promoting our fraternity at my Deathday party! Headless Hunters will be a joke from now on! All, no, all ghosts will be proud to join our Brotherhood of Ghost Assassins! Etc After I draw them into our fraternity, I will send them a recruitment letter from the ghost factory, it is absolutely sure! Feel free to entrust me with the job of recruiting people!"
What a very mature worker... Connor unconsciously showed a capitalist smile: "Of course, I believe in you, Sir Nicole, the development of the wizarding world cannot be separated from our joint efforts, and the future of wizards depends on We, the Brotherhood of Assassins, will protect it, come, drink up this cup, and share your encouragement with you!"
"Share with you!"

"We are currently broadcasting live in front of the Lake experience store. Diagon Alley has been so overcrowded since six o'clock this morning, and now the crowd has not decreased, but has continued to grow. More and more wizards have heard of it. Here comes the news, join this carnival..." (Turning)
"This is John, the reporter of the Paris Wizarding Monthly, and I'm broadcasting the [-]:[-] o'clock Laike product launch for you now...Oh my God! Helen is so beautiful! Oh, I'm dead! I want..." (Turning)
"The "Egyptian Daily" broadcasts live for you... Magic Pen! Puppet! Philosopher's Stone! Today is a day destined to be recorded in the history of magic! I..." (Turning)
"Hello everyone! I'm your dear Bell! Today I will bring you the latest and most authentic Lake product review, as you can see, I just squeezed out of Diagon Alley and just returned to the Leaky Cauldron to order A glass of mead, but I have already snapped up a few new items released by Lake Store today. Although it cost a lot of Galleons, it is worth it. Next, I will experience the effects of these products for everyone. First of all It's a magic card..."
"...The next thing is [Magic Pen]. When I bought it, he also included a manual of "Using the Magic Pen: From Beginner to Master". Ha, the author is undoubtedly our genius Mr. Connor, everyone You should have a general understanding of this magic pen, this is a pen that can be used to draw magic paintings... No! This manual not only mentions this function..."
"Come and see, let me bring Facebook closer. This book is divided into three parts. The first part is [Using the Magic Brush to Draw Magic Paintings], the second part is [Using the Magic Brush to Make Scrolls], and the third part is [Using a magic pen to make a chip]...It's incredible, these names sound very powerful, please give me a few minutes to get a general understanding..."
"...I've been waiting for a long time. I just briefly studied the content of these parts, and found that the magic pen is not as simple as I thought at first. It’s more appropriate to call it the [Second Magic Wand]. If it’s true as stated in this manual, we can easily make magic paintings and magic scrolls by ourselves with a magic brush after training, and that... for the maid, no, for the alchemist The chip used by the puppet..."
"...The magic pen seems to be able to switch between three modes for making different props, and then as long as the magic power is input, it will input stable special handwriting from the pen end...You can see a big bug I tried to draw. ..now I'm just thinking about the big worm and I start to write...I don't do anything, no magic, just input magic power...F***! Bug! Bugs are out!! "
"As you can see! The magic pen is really amazing! I think it has several other functions as well. There is also an intelligent auxiliary function when making scrolls. Maybe we don't need to buy magic cards at all in the future, and these functions are all You don't need to use magic, as long as you have magic power, you can use it, which means that even a squib can use these three functions as long as you have magic power..."
The Facebook in his hand could no longer be held firmly, there was nowhere to put his trembling hands, and then his whole body began to tremble violently, and abnormally heavy breathing sounded in the room.
"It's true... it's true! It's a magic that Squibs can use!"
Hogwarts, Castle Warden's Office, Argus Filch couldn't control his emotions anymore, he stood up and paced back and forth in the room, incoherently excited,
"The magic pen! The magic pen! I have to go and ask Dumbledore for leave! I'm going to buy the magic pen now! Go to the fucking magic letter class! Go to the fucking quick spell company! Yes! I'm going to take this good News to Mrs. Pince! Yes! Let's go now!"
Filch's hunchback straightened a little with excitement, his face under the gray hair was flushed abnormally, and the excitement and excitement in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all. He walked quickly towards the door of the office. You need to share your feelings with someone!
But before he reached the door, the door was opened from the outside, and the same excited librarian Mrs. Irma Pince walked in. Her voice was a little hoarse with excitement,
"Filch! Have you seen the news! Have you seen it! That magic pen!!!"
There is no student who does not know Filch, the castle administrator, and Mrs. Pince, the librarian, but only those who have paid attention to them will know that they have a common identity - Squibs, they are born unable to use magic wizard.
There is no special relationship between the two of them, and some of them are related to Filch's covetous widow, but Mrs. Pince despises Filch, because Filch is old and ugly, and even a magician won't work...
Mrs. Pince knows how to use some simple magic, has good magic power control skills, and has never given up on learning. She respects knowledge and loves books like her life. Way, never gave up hope.
But what she never expected was that this day would come in such a form...
"I saw it! I saw it! Mrs. Pince! That magic pen can really give us the ability to cast spells! We, no, Squibs finally have hope!"
The corners of Filch's eyes were a little wet, and he didn't know where to put his hands. Although he was close to sixty years old, he had never aged with a heart that wanted to become a wizard. He even applied for Kwikspell at the beginning of this semester. What about the company's magic correspondence courses, of course, these are not important now.
"It's not too late! Let's go and ask Dumbledore for leave! Go to Diagon Alley, no, there should be some in Hogsmeade Village, let's go!" Mrs. Pince was so excited that she even talked about Filch. Hand, she doesn't want to wait for a moment now, she wants to have that magical pen right away!
Filch, who was being dragged out of the house, blushed with excitement. Could it be that he has suffered a lifetime, and now his fortune is finally turning, and his career and love are about to reap a bumper harvest! ! ?
When the two ran upstairs, they just ran into Connor and Penello who had returned from class. Now it was class time, and there were male and female students playing on the campus in broad daylight. Filch would have grown up a long time ago. With a roar, he went up to defend the school rules, but at this moment he actually walked straight past and turned a blind eye, enough to see... wait, Connor seems to be wearing an invisibility ring, so it's okay.
On the contrary, Penello watched the two run past with a nervous expression, a little afraid that Filch would turn around and deduct points for himself...
Then Filch turned his head... but instead of looking at Penello, he walked towards Connor.
Filch walked up to Connor and stood still. Connor was still wondering why this man had discovered him, but he saw Filch bowed deeply to him. Mrs. Pince, who was a few steps away, Connor was also found and made the same move.
"Ah, here..." Connor raised his hand a little helplessly, and when he wanted to say something, the two of them ran away in a hurry without giving Connor a chance to speak.
"..." Connor scratched his head, and said dryly, "Dumbledore's broken ring is really useless...it was discovered so easily..."
Penello looked at Connor's side face, and unconsciously showed a smile that should be called "happiness", as if it reflected the perennially dark aisle of this ancient castle brightened a bit...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"What are you giggling about here?"
"Where is the smirk? I'm happy for you, Connor."
"Happy? I have nothing to be happy about. I had already expected that I would make a lot of money in this wave. Now making money can no longer make me feel happy."
"But Connor has helped a lot of people, like Mr. Filch and Mrs. Pince, they will all be very grateful to you, right? Don't you feel happy helping others? Actually, Connor, you are also very happy, right? "
"Nonsense...Nonsense, I'm just here to earn money from Squibs! No...!" Connor blushed, why didn't he know that he still has the attributes of being arrogant?It was almost destroyed!But it's too embarrassing to be praised by girls face to face like this. This kind of inner joy and embarrassment is really hard to express...
"Ahem, in short, I didn't make the magic brush for their thanks, it's just part of the plan, yes, everything is for the greater good."
Penello frowned with a smile, covered his mouth and laughed, which made Connor annoyed for a while.
"Why are you laughing here! Don't laugh!" Connor raised his wand threateningly. He felt that his majesty was offended. How dare a little secretary laugh at his boss? !It's the other way around! ?
In the end, it was good if Connor didn't stop him. With his "threat", Penello squatted down directly covering his stomach, buried his head and laughed there, but he didn't dare to laugh loudly, so he bit his arm and squatted there. Trembling and trembling, those who didn't know thought this girl was crying here.
"..." Connor is numb. Fortunately, it is class time and there is no one in the corridor. Otherwise, I would not be able to wash myself if I jumped into the Yellow River...No, I have an invisibility ring, so I can sneak away coming.
Connor waved his wand, made a warning barrier up and down the stairs, and then sat on the steps with a full face of convincing: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, people who don't know think I'm bullying you, you said you suddenly What are you laughing at?"
Penelope raised her head twitching, touching her tears with her hands, good guy, this kid even burst into tears, did I do anything funny just now?
"Connor won't bully people. Even the first-year school girls know that Connor is the most gentlemanly boy in the school." Penello combed the hair on this face, stood up, and then sat on Connor on the next step.
"..." Which first-year kid was talking nonsense, and hurriedly apologized to the other boys in the school. Connor handed Penello a mirror and said angrily, "I haven't talked to a boy this year. The freshmen in the grades have spoken, and the spread of these nonsense is outrageous."
"How come, the sisters in the fraternity think that you are a gentleman, okay..." Penello took Connor's mirror, and said while arranging his appearance: "And that's not Connor, you have been talking to others all this time. Human image? If I hadn't become your secretary, I wouldn't have known that Connor would be a gentler and kinder person than the rumors say!"
"??? Where am I gentle and kind? Have you followed me for so long and haven't discovered the essence of my evil capitalist!? Everything I do is for myself and my family! I am an exquisite egoist!" Connor I can't take it anymore, how can anyone boast like this?I don't even want to lose face? !
"Puchi, and it's so cute~" Penello couldn't help laughing again.
"!!!" Connor raised his wand angrily, "Don't think I won't beat you up because of your good looks! You, a little secretary, want to rebel!?"
Penello looked at Connor's suddenly serious face, shrank his neck in fright, then thought of something else, and raised his proud chest in front of Connor, "Then you come to bully me!"
"You!" Connor was furious, he flicked his wand, stood up and ran, "I don't want to talk to you! Penello, your salary for this month is gone!"
Hearing that his wages were deducted, Penello behind Connor was not only not depressed, but blushed inexplicably, and even showed a triumphant smile of "it really is".
Penello couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with the "Love Military Advisor" before:
----
"Penelo, it's impossible for you to stay away from each other like this. Do you plan to maintain this relationship with Connor in the future?"
"But...emmm, there's nothing wrong with that..."
"You! Hey! Why are you so disappointing? How can a prefect who doesn't want to be a good secretary be a good secretary?"
"Emily! What are you talking about! I...I'm not that weird secretary..."
"Penello, listen to me, if you keep doing this, there will be no results. You must seize the opportunity and take the initiative!"
"But...but I don't know how there is a chance. You also know that Connor is always the same..."
"Stupid! If there is no opportunity, create an opportunity! You are the person who has the most contact with Connor, are you afraid that you will not find opportunities in normal times?"
"But... but... what counts as an opportunity... I don't know how to do it..."
"Well, first of all, you have to grasp Connor's weakness. Connor is a person who never reveals his thoughts easily. Only when he shows his flaws can he touch his true heart, so you have to learn to grasp his weakness. weakness!"
"Weaknesses? But Connor...does he have any weaknesses?"
"Yes! He has never been angry with women! In fact, he is very bad at refusing women's requests! This is one of his weaknesses!"
"Huh? But he rejected many girls..."
"That's because those girls couldn't refuse him! Think about it, if Connor refused your confession, would you still have the courage to face him again?"
"...It seems...it makes sense, but how do you take advantage of Connor's weakness?"
"You! Well, you just need to refuse Connor, or try to ask Connor not too much, or...you can try to bully him!"
"Huh!? Bullying Connor? This...how is this possible? I can't do it, and how can Connor be bullied if he is so powerful?"
"Tsk, there is a proverb in the Far East called [A gentleman can be bullied in the right way], which probably means that a good person like Connor is actually the easiest to be bullied. Trust me, you can do it!"
"...Although I don't understand, I always feel that you are translating randomly..."
"It's not important! Just tell me whether you want to go further with Connor? Just try it if you want to! It'll be fine!"
"But... no, I don't have confidence!"
"Think about that idiot Alice! Connor can bear her, so what are you afraid of?! Could it be worse than Alice?! Be confident! Penelope!"
"...then... let me try?"
----
So... Connor really has a personality that won't get angry with girls! ! ?
This character... so cute!
And I was scolded by Connor just now, so happy!
Penelope seemed to have suddenly "realized" something, a mysterious light lit up in his eyes, he stood up quickly, and chased after him.
"Connor, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong~"
"Heh, it's good if you know you're wrong, and you won't be fined for your salary. Go back to class." Connor didn't notice the strange expression of the little secretary behind him, but felt that he had easily regained his dignity.
Then he heard Penello say:
"No, no, I did something wrong, and I must be punished, Connor, punish me, I won't complain!"
"???" Connor froze, and turned his head with a look of seeing a ghost, "What are you talking about..."
Then he saw Penello's smiling expression, and there was still a strange amorous feeling in her smiling eyes. How could she look remorseful at all? ?
"You... Then deduct your wages! Deduct two months!" This woman!Are you underestimating me! ?Shaking with cold air, how dare you offend the capitalists!I want you to work for me for nothing! !
"This punishment is too light~ I'm afraid I won't be able to clearly realize my mistakes, Connor, you should punish me, you can hit me or scold me, I won't resist~"
(Ahem, there is still a paragraph, I will post it first, and I will add it later)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

【"Connor, don't you... don't you want to severely punish... the disobedient little secretary?"】
"Slap!" Connor slapped himself hard on the face, startling Roger who was sitting opposite him.
"What's wrong with you, Connor? You suddenly dragged me to the hall for dinner, and you slapped yourself..." Roger asked suspiciously while cutting the beef on the plate.
"No... nothing... I just wanted to come to the lobby for dinner after a long time..." Connor regained his senses, his red palm prints were still on his face, and he didn't know if it was to cover up something...
A few hours ago, Penelope's soft words seemed to still be in his ears. Although it was a bit embarrassing to say it, Connor was still a "vigorous" teenager, and he really couldn't resist this kind of temptation, even if it seemed a little immature and tender. Sentimental... No, it's more difficult to say this...
I don't know what happened to Penelope suddenly, and he actually did such an indecent thing in broad daylight!If Dumbledore's peeping tom sees me, do I have to be a human again!must be severely punished...
Thinking of this, Connor's expression suddenly became bitter. That girl is obviously confident, she doesn't care about being deducted wages at all, and it is impossible for Connor to really beat and scold Penello. A feeling of helplessness.
Let's hide first... No, let Penello hang out first, let's deal with it coldly!As long as she ignores her, she will realize how angry she is!
Connor is so self-comforting... In fact, how could he be angry? A beautiful and charming girl who obeys your orders flirts with you... How can a normal person be angry? Connor is not only very secretive, but even Thinking of Modo Modo...
It's just...Because of Connor's "hypocritical" past life psychology, he has always been unwilling to trust others easily, and he was unwilling to form a deep bond with others. He always thought that he had Arturia in this life. Being with Angel is already very satisfying...
But why are there always so many goblins greedy for my body!It's not my fault that I'm handsome!Is it easy for me to be so guarded like a jade?
Roger watched Connor gritted his teeth and hissed the beef, and secretly marveled in his heart. It is very rare for Connor to lose his composure. It might be sold for a good price in the fraternity...
"Hey, Connor, it seems that someone is coming to look for you." Roger interrupted Connor's messy thoughts, and Connor quickly corrected his posture and returned to the normal mode.
"Harry, Ron, and...Neville, hello, what can I do for you?" Connor turned his head and saw that it was these three, and greeted them with a smile.
Harry stepped forward, scratched his head and said shyly, "It's like this, Connor, I haven't thanked you properly for what happened last time. In fact, I have been trying to find a chance to thank you in person this week, but I have been I couldn't find you, so..."
"Oh, that's it. Don't thank me. After all, I didn't do anything. You solved the problem yourself, didn't you? I just happened to meet Neville. If you really want to thank you, you have to thank you for being anxious for you. It was Neville who called for help."
Harry embraced Neville, hooked his shoulders and laughed, "Of course I have already thanked Neville, but I also want to thank Connor for your support. I heard Neville tell you that Connor was very anxious at the time." , People with chivalry like senior Connor are rare, because my affairs have caused you trouble, I should apologize to you..."
This kid is pretty good at talking... But chivalry or something, where are you from the second year of middle school?No, these little ghosts happened to be in the second grade of junior high school.
Afterwards, the three of Connor and Harry wanted to have a good talk, and they had made friends in a real sense.
I am ashamed to say that Dumbledore told me to take care of Harry at the beginning, but Connor didn't even say a few words to him since he was in the second grade. Bullido is still very satisfied with Gandalf's grandfather's personal care service...
Since these three people came to the door this time, Connor would not let go of the opportunity, he tried to get some news from Connor.
Connor invited the three of them to sit down, and first gave the students some advice on their study and life from the perspective of outstanding seniors, and then tapped on the side without showing any trace: "Tell me about you, what interesting things happened around you recently?" Something about it? Like...the last time Harry beat that Malfoy kid?"
As soon as Malfoy and Harry were mentioned, the three of them sneered. It seemed that Malfoy hadn't been able to get any advantage from Harry, and he might not be able to hold his head up in front of Harry in the future.
"Interesting thing... I thought of it!" Neville sniffled, took out a toad from his pocket, and said enthusiastically, "Life has suddenly become so quiet recently! He has been sticking to me!"
"..." x4
Roger twitched the corner of his mouth recently: "Is this...interesting?"
"Lyfe used to get lost every day! Now that he doesn't run around, I can take him to join the toad choir!" Neville looked very happy, but the friends didn't sympathize with his joy.
Then Ron quickly took up the topic: "I have an interesting thing here. I was punished by the professor for confinement before, and I was going to clean the prize showroom. When I finished the task and went to work with Filch that day, guess what? What did you find?"
"I found out that he secretly signed up for Kwikspell's training class!"
"..." x4
Roger twitched the corner of his mouth recently: "Is this...interesting?"
"That's a quick spell company! Only Squibs will be tricked into signing up for their courses! Filch is a Squib!" Ron's eyes widened. "We don't need to be afraid of him anymore, do we? He You can't use magic at all!"
"Ahem, Ron, maybe you should pay attention to the news...Well, you will probably hear the big news this afternoon..." Connor said perfunctorily, and then turned his eyes to his real target, " How about you, Harry? Have you noticed anything interesting lately?"
"Me? I didn't..." Harry wanted to wave his hand to deny it, but he suddenly thought of something, "Actually, there was... It was also when I was fined for confinement... I helped Professor Lockhart's office When he wrote the fan letter, he seemed to hear someone else's voice in his room...but Professor Lockhart said he didn't hear it, I suspect..."
"Is the professor hiding someone in his room?!"
"Hiss—" x3
Roger looked surprised: "No way, it's so scary?"
Ron looked horrified: "Could it be that Lockhart is a perverted teacher who preyed on female students!?"
"No...it's not a girl's voice...it sounds hoarse and old..."
Connor frowned first, and then asked, "Harry, did you hear what the voice said clearly?"
Harry frowned and tried to remember, hesitatingly said: "I didn't hear clearly either... It seems to be saying [very hungry] [so tired]... or something else... forgot, it's just a matter of a while, I never heard the sound again after that, I thought it was my illusion."
"I always feel that Professor Lockhart is not clean, or Harry, let's go to Lockhart's office to explore tonight... Ahem, I didn't say anything." Ron was so excited that he forgot that other people were there , almost revealed something...
That snake...has it ever been released... The gloom on Connor's face disappeared for a moment, he raised his head and smiled, and said, "It's very interesting, even I'm a little curious..."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

When Connor returned to the Room of Requirement, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Penello sitting there looking forward to it. Connor subconsciously took half a step back. He has a little PTSD towards women now...but here is the public Under the circumstances, she doesn't dare to do anything... right...
"Connor, why is it so late today? You didn't reply me when you sent a message..." Penello walked over in a well-behaved manner, looking no different from usual, but when he walked to Connor's side, he suddenly surprised He leaned closer and whispered: "...Are you still... angry about what happened just now?"
The most outrageous thing is that she licked Connor's ear at the end!From the perspective of others, it was Penello who was reporting to Connor in a low voice as usual. Who would have thought that Penello, who is usually quiet and quiet, would be so bold at this time! ?
Penelope's provocative and glutinous voice, the tangy aroma of a girl coming out of the bath, and the sudden stimulation of his ears made Connor's whole body feel bad in an instant, and he almost bent over on the spot.
She... how dare she! ?Connor didn't expect that Penello didn't know how to restrain himself at all, but intensified and became more unbridled!Connor was anxious and angry, and with his mind at a loss, he gritted his teeth bitterly and said a classic line handed down from generation to generation.
"Woman, you are playing with fire!"
Penello covered her mouth and sniggered, feeling a strange sense of pleasure that "it's fun to bully Connor", and then stood behind Connor solemnly, as usual, if it wasn't for the unconcealable charm that leaked from her eyes from time to time , Connor thought it was just a misunderstanding!
Connor walked towards the office with a dark face, and Penello said quickly: "Connor, don't you have lunch first?"
"I just ate in the lobby! Eat it yourself." Connor said in a blunt tone on purpose.
The sadness in Penello's eyes flashed away, and he stopped, and Connor seemed to be really angry...Did I do it too much...
Then he saw that Connor also stopped. He turned a corner and walked to the sofa next to him and sat down. He turned his head away from Penello, raised his legs and closed his eyes to rest.
Penello secretly rejoiced, ha, Connor said no, but he is actually very happy!It turns out that Connor has such an awkward personality!I seem to understand again!Then she happily sat at the dining table not far from Connor, calling for service, she wanted to enjoy Connor's beauty while eating.
But what Connor thought about with his eyes closed was... to stay in a crowded place. If the abnormal Penello sneaked into the office and the two of them were alone at this time, who knows what she would do outrageously matter!At that time, it will be the secretary x office play, I'm afraid it's not about chastity!
Boys must pay attention to protect themselves when they are away from home!
Just be lazy today, take a break, and go back to class later, really, if I knew it, I would go back to the dormitory... That's right!Why don't I go back to the dormitory now!
Connor was led astray by his own habits, and was about to get up and go back to the dormitory, when suddenly an unexpected loli came to him...
"Kang~na~ you are here!"
If Penelope still pays attention to his image and won't mess around in front of everyone, the golden retriever loli in front of him won't care about it at all. Alice skillfully pounces on Connor, and knocks Connor who just stood up. Na crashed back on the couch, unrecognizable.
Fortunately, everyone in the fraternity is used to this. Connor rubbed his chest that hurt from the bump, and sighed secretly that he was unlucky, so he left the wolf's den and went into the tiger's den... Fortunately, he was very kind to Ai Li. Silk got used to it too.
"Get up, Alice, what are you doing so recklessly..." Connor angrily wanted to push the shriveled girl away, and the anger that was aroused by Penello just now disappeared without a trace. Na did not expect Alice to have such a role.
"Don't! Hold me for a while! Just for a while!" Alice rubbed back and forth in Connor's arms, a light of wisdom flashed in her seemingly careless eyes, and she couldn't help but think of her "defeated opponent" with her before. Dialogue with Love Adviser":
----
"Believe me, Alice, I'm really helping you, don't you want to go further with Connor? Listen to me, you will succeed!"
"Heh, why should I believe you? Emily, I haven't forgotten how you humiliated me back then! Do you think I will believe a rival in love?"
"Hey...why don't you believe it...I told you a long time ago that I have given up, I have realized that it is impossible for me and Connor, look how long I have not taken the initiative to have a relationship with Connor Have you spoken? In front of you now, I am just a loser who has no courage to take a step forward..."
"Hmph! I told you long ago that you have no chance! Fortunately, you retreated in spite of difficulties, so I don't need to bother you! Hehehe~"
"So, now I'm just giving you advice as an outsider. You can trust me. I won't argue with you anyway, can I? I also hope that Connor can be with the right person. I think that The person... will be you."
"Oh heh heh heh~ I didn't expect Emily that you are quite discerning! Then I will trust you once without any trouble, and you can continue to talk about your opinions."
"If you want to gain an advantage in the game of love, you must be good at using your own advantages. Alice, with all due respect, your advantages have already been lost by your previous nonsense. If you don't seize the opportunity to save the situation, you May lose to Penello soon."
"I... I won't lose to that stealing cat! Isn't she just relying on her status as secretary to be arrogant and domineering! Then I'm still Connor's fiancee! I'm not afraid of her!"
"Don't forget, the position of your fiancée has not been truly recognized."
"...Speak quickly! I'm not here to talk nonsense with you!"
"Don't worry, as I said just now, you must be good at using your own advantages. Think carefully about your own advantages?"
"Advantage...my family has money! Maybe it can't compare to Connor's family now...my family has power! But now it is not very useful to the Lake family...my family still has a lot of precious magic ways. ..”
"Don't talk about your family, talk about yourself. Your family background is indeed an advantage, but it can't help you much."
"Myself... I... I am very capable... every time I take the exam... I am No.3, but my ability to handle government affairs is very good! Connor and Cedric are not as good as me ! And... and... I'm beautiful! I'm...probably... woohoo, I'm so useless..."
"Ahem, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr""
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, I can only take No.3 every time I take the exam..."
"Connor and Cedric get full marks every time, and the two of them can't compare."
"Whoa, my administrative skills are useless..."
"Where is it! Our fraternity now relies on you, the vice president, to operate in an orderly manner!"
"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!!"
"Alice...Alice! Calm down, this is actually your advantage! Advantage!"
"Don't lie to me, I know I'm useless, I'm just a nasty bastard who clings to Connor! Woohoo!"
"Alice...Alice, listen to me, in fact, you still have a great advantage! Don't you know that you are the one closest to Connor?"
"How... how to say?"
"Think about it, you have done so many stupid things before... I mean reckless things, but Connor still endured you, didn't you realize that Connor's attitude towards you is different from that of other girls? "
"Is there...is there?"
"Yes! Of course! Connor drove away so many girls, but he didn't drive you away, right?"
"Okay...it seems like this..."
"Connor always smiles at other girls and keeps a distance from everyone, but he is very indulgent with you and quarrels with you, right?"
"Okay...it seems like this..."
"So you are different in Connor's heart! You are the one closest to Connor!"
"Really...really!? So I have a good chance!?"
"Huh... yes, yes, that's the thing, so you must believe in yourself, use your own advantages, and don't let go of your offensive. There is a proverb in the Far East, which is called "the strong woman is afraid of the entanglement, the evil ghost is afraid of Zhong Kui", It means that a man like Connor can't bear the continuous love offensive, so you must persevere! Don't give up easily!"
"...Although I don't understand, I always feel that you are translating randomly..."
"It's not important! Just tell me whether you want to go further with Connor? Try it if you want to! Just do it!"
"But... how do I do it?"
"It's fine as before! Also, you have to use your own body!"
"Body? But... I also know that my body is not good..."
"Stupid! Why don't you look at Artoria and Angel?"
"Leah and Angel? What happened to them?"
"Didn't you realize that they are actually about the same size as you? Doesn't this mean that Connor likes your embodiment!?"
"!!! Is that so!?"
"That's right! That's it! So Alice, you must cheer up and believe in yourself! Come on!"
"Okay! I want to work hard!"

(Ahem, there is another paragraph, I will post it first...)

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Really...really!?" Alice's surprise was beyond words, and she didn't even care about her strange posture. "It's great! Connor, I love you!"
"Wait...wait a minute, Connor still has a lot of work this weekend..." Penello was in a hurry, something was wrong, Connor actually accepted Alice's invitation? !
"Hmph! Didn't you hear that Connor said that he would be with me this weekend?! Penello, you can do all the work by yourself!" Alice had a face of a villain, she was casual When I asked, who would have thought that Connor would actually agree!Oh heh heh heh!Has this princess' hard work finally paid off?
Connor lifted Alice up and threw it aside, and said sternly, "I just want to go to Hogsmeade Village this weekend. I will finish my work in these two days. I still have something to go back to the dormitory. Excuse me." gone."
Connor got up and left. Penello wanted to ask questions but was held back by Alice. When he left the Room of Requirement, there was already an uproar in the back, as lively as a vegetable market.
At the same time, the influence of the new products released by Lake Store is gradually spreading. From [-]:[-] a.m. London time to the present, the countries that have signed the International Chamber of Magic Agreement, mainly the wizard-gathering countries in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean region, have completed product launch.
A change that is about to sweep the entire wizarding cultural circle has kicked off. No wizard is not shocked by the Sorcerer's Stone. It is hard for them to imagine how to make a magic item with such a huge magical power, and even mass-produce it!Is alchemy really so magical?
Although the current use of the Philosopher's Stone seems to be to "change the battery" of the alchemy puppet, no one will question the future potential of the Philosopher's Stone. All kinds of magicians, researchers, careerists, alchemists... have already begun Research on the Sorcerer's Stone.
It is also because almost all the "wizards" focused their attention on the Sorcerer's Stone, and did not pay much attention to the magic pen and alchemy puppet. When the "ecological chain" with the magic pen as the core has become a climate, they have no longer It's too late to stop...Of course, these are things for later, so I won't mention them for now.
----
Connor returned to the dormitory, sat on a chair, and dialed the Facebook call of his alchemy teacher, Nicole Flamel.
It was connected quickly there.
"Hi! Connor, are you enjoying your campus life!? You haven't greeted the teacher for more than a month. I think your life is pretty good? Ha, I have to say that your Facebook is easier to use than my magic book More, I like it very much..."
Nicole Young Big LeMay appeared on Facebook, and Connor saw him wearing a beach top, lying on a colorful, soft-looking waterbed, with a parasol behind him, this person Looks like a vacation at the beach.
Whose life is after all moist? ? !Connor twitched the corners of his mouth, "Mr. Nico, it's October and the weather is already cold... Are you still in England?"
"No, my wife and I are on vacation in Athens!" Nicole Mery said bluntly and confidently.
"..." Connor said blankly, "The production of the Philosopher's Stone..."
"I'll leave it to your little girls! They're very smart, they learned it right away, and don't need me as an old man anymore!"
"..." Ah, no wonder I haven't seen Angel much in the past two days, and I was tricked into mining? !No, why did you leave your work to the little girl and go on vacation by yourself! ! !
Although the production of the Sorcerer's Stone is indeed the business of the Lake family, it is not Nico's job, so Angel and the others are sharing my worries...
Connor sighed helplessly, and said, "Mr. Nico, the laboratory at Hogwarts has been built. When do you plan to come over?"
"Ah? Although I personally seem to be going to do experiments with you..." Nico raised his head and glanced towards the direction off the screen, and said in a low voice: "But Perenal won't let me go Ah! She said that since there is no shortage of the elixir of life now, let's try traveling around the world in a young state after a long time... I am in danger now!"
"..." Connor didn't know what to say for a while, so he wished you a happy life as a couple: "Then...have fun, I'll hang up first..."
"Don't stop! Don't hang up yet!" Nico quickly stopped and said, "Chat with me, Connor, didn't your family release the Philosopher's Stone today? How was the response?"
"It's only been half a day. I don't know the specific situation. It depends on the report later. However, the sales in various countries seem to be booming, and there are no accidents..."
"Well, even though it's only the smallest-capacity Sorcerer's Stone, I'm actually a little worried..." Nico pondered, "Especially those alchemy families, they must be curious about what method I used to produce magic in such a large amount Stone, maybe they will do something crazy, so Connor and I still have the same opinion, don’t sell too many magic stones at once, although they can’t find the gem corridor, your Laker’s house will definitely be found Trouble..."
"Teacher, you have helped me share a lot of pressure... This is a stage that must be experienced. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. No matter what challenges come next, we are already mentally prepared, and we have limited shipments We’ve measured it, and America and Asia are still waiting in line for the goods, so our production speed isn’t fast, isn’t it?”
"emmm, don't worry, I already have an idea about how to use other elves to produce magic stones, and I will increase both the output and the production speed in the future. When I go back, I will... ah! Perena Er! Cough cough, I am talking to my students, wait... eh! Don't come here!"
"..." Connor watched as Nico's Facebook was snatched away, and after a while the screen tumbling, a hot mature older sister in a bikini and sunglasses appeared on the opposite side, making Connor dizzy.
"Oh~ This is your new apprentice, Little Connor? He's much more handsome than you see in the photo~ Nico, why didn't you introduce me to your good student earlier?"
Nico's head popped out from behind the mature woman, and he had a sad face: "Honey, don't make trouble, Connor and I are talking about serious things, Connor is still young, just let him go..."
"?" Connor was stunned in embarrassment, and greeted Facebook: "Mrs. LeMay, hello, I am Connor Lake, a student of Teacher Nicole..."
"What's your name, madam? Sister! Call me Sister Perey!"
"..." Connor looked at the grandma... not old face, then at Nicole's mournful face, and said decisively, "Sister Pere..."
"Hmm~ good boy, Nicole, the student you accepted this time is really good. You can tell that he is a young boy with a bright future~" The old lady let out an aggressive laugh, then looked at Connor with a smile and said :
"Little Connor, I have a small suggestion for you to consider~"
"Perenal! Don't..." Nicole wanted to say something, but his wife took off his sunglasses and stared back, giving Connor an apologetic smile, but he dared not speak.
Unexpectedly, the teacher is still a strict wife... Connor smiled awkwardly and politely, and said, "Please tell me, Pei...Miss Pere, if I can help, I will definitely help... "
"Really!?" Perenal clapped his hands happily, and said with a smile, "That's right, about the Philosopher's Stone business... I wonder if it's possible for Beauxbaton Academy of Magic to participate? "

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Beauxbaton Academy of Magic...?" Connor's thoughts turned sharply, thinking about the joints...
Beauxbaton Academy of Magic is a magic school located in Beauxbaton Castle in the Pyrenees Mountains in southern France. It has a history of more than 700 years and is the alma mater of Nicole Lemay and Perenal Lemay. Both are actually French.
Although Nicolas May has long since ignored worldly affairs, he is regarded as a "fairy character" in that kind of story. He has been anywhere for hundreds of years and has lived in England for the past hundred years, but in the final analysis he is not British. , and certainly more connections to the French wizarding community than to the British wizarding community.
In fact, when Lake's family released the information about the Sorcerer's Stone, the French side had already exploded. After all, the "antique" seniors in their own country wanted to release the Sorcerer's Stone to benefit the society, but they chose the British instead of "my own people"!This thing is outrageous!
Of course, they don't know that Connor's Altria rather than alchemy is used to produce the Philosopher's Stone. It's just that they simply understand that they can't lose their mentality, so they will find an opportunity to contact the LeMay couple. In fact, it is reasonable and expected middle.
"Perenal! I said that the Sorcerer's Stone can only be produced by Connor's magic painting. We outdated old people should not get involved in the affairs of today's young people! And this matter is not as simple as it seems ..."
Nico pulled Perenal and persuaded him helplessly that he knew that Beauxbatons had contacted Perenal, because he had refused once before, and this is why he never wanted his wife and Connor The reason for meeting is definitely not because Connor is a vixen...
"Of course." Then Connor readily agreed.
"Really?! Great! Little Connor, you are awesome!"
"Eh!?" Nico was stunned, "Didn't you say, Connor, that the Sorcerer's Stone is related to your and Dumbledore's plan? You just agreed?"
"Teacher, have you forgotten that you also have a share of the Philosopher's Stone..." Connor spread his hands with a smile: "If Beauxbaton wants to participate, then I will take your share of the proceeds." Wouldn't it be enough to give it to them? Anyway, you gave up the money yourself, and now it's just returned to you, isn't it a matter of course?"
"Well, it seems to make sense..."
"However, the technology must not be shared. At most, I can only give up the identity of the main distributor to Beauxbatons School of Magic and Magic, and then give them a share of the proceeds. Is that okay?"
"No problem, no problem! That's it!" Perenal smiled and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's great to be able to solve it so easily, sorry Connor, I hope my request didn't embarrass you, mainly because Booth Barton's principal, Ms. Olim Maxim, begged me several times about this matter, and I couldn't refuse..."
"I understand, I understand..." Connor said with a smile. In fact, this matter is really easy to solve, but it's just a share of the benefits, which was originally reserved for Nico.
But this incident also shows that there is definitely more than one Beauxbaton College who is eyeing the Sorcerer's Stone. This kind of thing will only happen more and more in the future. You must tell your family about this matter and let them pay more attention to it. ...
Although the Lake family seems to be gaining momentum, it is actually on the cusp. If it weren't for Dumbledore's protection, the Lake family might have been wiped out by the raging undercurrent long ago.
"Well, that's why you shouldn't be dragging me on some kind of trip. If I had figured out a way to use Soul Eater to produce the Philosopher's Stone one day earlier, they wouldn't have to fight here..." Ke sighed and whispered: "The twists and turns here are very complicated. Is it interesting for us two old guys to get involved?"
"No, no, it's actually my fault. I should have thought of this a long time ago. Teacher is a high-minded person. You shouldn't worry about such things." Connor knew that Nico really didn't want to pay attention to these crap things, otherwise he would I will not choose to live in seclusion.
"Niko, I like your student, this kid can really talk!" Perenal covered his mouth and chuckled, "Next time Miss Perey will bring you a gift when she goes back! Be sure to look forward to it~"
"Um, thank you... Thank you, sister Pere..." Connor was obedient and obedient on the surface, but he was actually thinking in his heart, are immortal people so shameless...
"By the way, Connor, tell me about you. Didn't you say that you are researching magic props using the Philosopher's Stone? Have you made any progress recently? Do you want me to help?" Nicole asked with a smile.
"Isn't this waiting for you, teacher, to come and preside over the laboratory... You also know that I usually do research alone, so it's so fast..."
"The professors in your school should be capable, don't you ask them for help?"
"I've searched for it... I've searched for it... You also know that the professors are actually very busy, and I have too many things to study, I can't be too busy..." Connor spread his hands and sighed Said: "So the matter about new props can only be done by myself. I am currently researching the disappearing cabinet. If you combine the magic stone and the disappearing cabinet, it is very likely to create a large teleporter comparable to the Floo Network... "
"That's a good idea! My hands are itching to hear that! Perenal, or... Ouch!! Don't be awkward! I'm just kidding! Just kidding!"
"..." The woman...is really scary... Connor pretended to look around, as if he didn't see the camera on the other side of the action movie...
"Ahem, cough, anyway, I'll come over to help after a while..." Nicole tried his best to persuade his wife away, and came back to talk to Connor: "So Connor, do you feel that the researcher not enough?"
"Yeah... It's really hard to find capable and trustworthy magic researchers..." Connor sighed, "There's no way around this problem, after all, people who are willing to dive into magic are already Not many, and our education system also has problems. It is not systematic in terms of cultivating talents. I have talked with Professor Dumbledore about this. Things that can be done..."
"...In short, there is a long way to go."
Nico pondered and said, "If Connor is short of people...do you want to try to recruit people from Beauxbatons? I still have a few acquaintances here, the kind who meet the standards in all aspects ..."
"Beauxbatons... poaching people..." Connor shrugged and smiled bitterly: "It's not that I haven't thought about this possibility, but asking an academy to send wizards to work for schools in another country...it's a little bit It's too difficult... Teacher, they are not like you who have lived for hundreds of years..."
"This... is actually..."
"But it doesn't work now, it doesn't mean it won't work in the future, Mr. Nicole, if I want to build a world regardless of identity, country or race... just to study more advanced magic, to jointly promote the development of wizard society, to A magical university that exists to make the world a better place... Would you like to be an honorary headmaster? Together with Professor Dumbledore."

Chapter 4000: Transaction with Gringotts ([-]+)

(ps I still need to revise this chapter carefully, I suggest reading it tomorrow (′+ω+`)
p.s2 Oh, just one chapter today, two in one. )
The Lakers made a lot of money.
This sounds like nonsense. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the Lake family has made crazy money, but outsiders will definitely not be able to guess how much Galleon they have earned.
Let's put it this way, Gringotts in Diagon Alley is already planning to regain the title of [Gringotts Headquarters] from Gringotts in the United States next year. Total deposits", the current title of Gringotts headquarters belongs to Gringotts in New York.
Gringotts is currently the only magic bank in the wizarding world in the UK...Of course, Gringotts is the only magic bank in many countries. It is regarded as a monopoly in the wizarding world. The Ling Pavilion is under the direct supervision of the Ministry of Magic, and the wizard holds the goblin's lifeblood.
Here it is necessary to talk about the history of goblins. Goblins are a kind of highly intelligent humanoid creatures with slender fingers and toes that coexist with wizards in the magical world.
There is a Fountain of Magical Brothers in the British Ministry of Magic. In the middle of a circular pool stands a group of pure gold statues composed of wizards, centaurs, goblins, and house elves. The tallest of them is a noble wizard holding a Wand, pointing straight into the sky, surrounded by a beautiful witch, a centaur, a goblin and a house-elf.The centaurs, goblins and house-elves all looked at the two wizards with admiration.
"This statue represents the image of wizards who love peace." - so the Ministry of Magic advertised, but this can only deceive oneself, the goblins turned a blind eye to it, and the centaurs sneered at it.
The wizarding world is full of discrimination, pure-blood wizards against half-blood wizards, wizards against goblins, wizards and goblins against house-elves, elves against horsemen...
This statue is like the symbol of the chain of contempt, it has many slots, but it has been standing there for many years.
Goblins, elves, and centaurs are intelligent creatures recognized by wizards with the ability to cast spells, although the latter two are classified as magical animals...
Let’s not talk about elves and horsemen today, let’s go back to the topic of goblins. Goblins are the second link in the chain of contempt for wizards. Their status in the magic world is indeed not low. Goblins have their own culture and magic system , has a spellcasting ability not weaker than that of a wizard, especially in the fields of metal processing, silverware making, and currency and finance.
Except that the magic power is not as good as that of wizards, goblins have almost no weaknesses. If you give goblins a wand, most wizards will not be able to defeat goblins, so wizards will issue laws that do not allow goblins to use magic wands.
There is a compulsory question in the history of magic exam "What caused the goblin rebellion in 1612", the standard answer is not "goblins are dissatisfied with being discriminated against by wizards", but "the lack of goblin representatives in the Wizengamot".
Whether this standard answer is correct or not is a matter of debate, but at least it proves that wizards recognize and worry about the strength of goblins.
Although the relationship between wizards and goblins has been harmonious for hundreds of years since the signing of the "International Statute of Secrecy" in 1689, this does not mean that goblins have no desire to overthrow the rule of wizards.
First of all, a legal regulation that does not allow the use of magic wands is already a permanent pain in the hearts of goblins, so if possible, goblins will never let go of the opportunity to fight for their [legitimate rights], even through violence .
And this time the product launch conference of the Lake family obviously completely ignited the ambitions of some goblins...
On the second day of Lake's product launch event, that is, on October [-], Gringotts sent goblin representatives to contact Lake's Patriarch, and secretly held a secret meeting.
----
"You mean...you want to buy our magic pens and magic stones in large quantities? That's right? President Grip."
In an unknown conference room, the main members of the Lake family—Old Divin and his three daughters, as well as the goblin leader from Gringotts in Diagon Alley—are having a secret conversation.
"Yes, respected Master Diwen, this is an order from our Fairy Council. The transaction volume is very large. I think you will be interested." President Grip sat on a small raised stool, A flattering smile appeared on his old and wrinkled face.
Today, the relationship between the Lake family and Gringotts is very... intimate, and there is no other way. After all, there are too many coin transactions between the Lake family and Gringotts. The Lake family alone is on the opposite corner. The underground vault in Lane has been expanded several times, and the goblins who go in and out of it every time want to die in it and never come out.
When the amount of money reaches a certain level, it becomes a powerful force. Even the goblins who always pretend to be arrogant in front of wizards can't stand up straight in front of the Lake family, let alone they ask for help from others. ..
"Are you kidding me?" Aunt Camilla fired first: "To tell you the truth, the Ministry of Magic is already discussing relevant restrictions and laws. After all, you goblins are not allowed to use magic wands. Why do you think we will use magic wands?" Sell ​​you the pen and the Philosopher's Stone?"
In fact, this is exactly the case. The only gap between wizards and goblins is in magic power. Goblins have very little magic power reserves. They can’t spend magic like wizards for free, but the Philosopher’s Stone will make up for their shortcomings. Goblins can’t use magic wands. I haven't thought about it for so many years, but as a "magic power stabilizer" similar to a magic wand, it may be as effective as a magic wand in the hands of a goblin.
Someone in the Ministry of Magic has long been aware of the hidden dangers, and relevant legal patches are already on the way to discuss. Not surprisingly, there will be laws prohibiting goblins from using the Sorcerer's Stone and magic pens soon.
Grip smiled more obsequiously. He rubbed his slender fingers and slapped his palms, and said, "Miss Camilla was joking. If the Lake family is unwilling to do this business, how can they accept our meeting request this time? Between us The transaction between the two is completely based on what each needs and is mutually beneficial, we have all cooperated for so long, so there is no need to go around too many circles, let's get straight to the point?"
Old Diwen raised his hand, stopped Camilla, and said, "I understand what Chairman Gripp meant, but I still want to ask, may I ask you Gringotts... do you want to get rid of the law before the relevant laws are introduced? , buy enough magic pens and magic stones from us...or do you plan to continue to maintain transactions with us after the relevant laws are promulgated?"
Glip clenched his fists, and hurriedly asked: "Will the Lake family provide us with magic pens in the future!?"
"I'm sorry, I lost my temper, but I still want to understand the attitude of the Lake family. Mr. Diwen means... Even after the law prohibiting my family from using magic pens, is the Lake family willing to sell us magic pens? ?”
Old Diwen smiled noncommittally: "If the relevant laws are promulgated, we will naturally not be able to sell magic pens and magic stones to the goblin tribe..."
Glip's breath became heavy: "If the Lake family is willing to help my tribe, then the Lake family will always be our fairies' friends!"
Old Diwen laughed loudly: "President Grip is joking, our family is not willing to take the risk of being accused of being a traitor by the wizarding world, and sell [prohibited items] to you. If you do this kind of business, you will be accused by thousands of people." of."
"Then you...!" Gripp's face turned red and turned white, obviously very angry at what Old Diwen said, are you really kidding me by saying so much about your feelings?
"Of course, our Lake family has always been adhering to the concept of fairness in doing business. What we value most is fairness! And I always think that the law of the Ministry of Magic that does not allow goblins to use magic wands... is actually unfair. How do you feel about it?" Old Diwen said with a smile.
Grip was stunned for a moment, and then overwhelmed by the great surprise, he said tremblingly: "Could it be that the Lake family is willing——no, it's impossible, Mr. Diwen, stop joking with me, don't you, the Lake family, plan to fight with the entire wizarding world?" Is it an enemy?"
Old Diwen smiled and stopped talking. Elena took over the conversation: "How big is the order that President Grip plans to place before the relevant laws are introduced? Let's talk about it earlier, now our Philosopher's Stone and magic pen are all It is in a state of short supply, and Chairman Grip wants to get it... and if he wants to get it as soon as possible, then it can't be the price on the market today..."
Greep's breathing was a little flustered, obviously confused by what old Diwen said, he said slowly: "It's natural, we will give a satisfactory price, that's why I'm here, isn't it... .”
So the two sides entered the negotiation stage, and after some arguments that kept the other party lowering the bottom line, the Lake family made another big deal.
Holding the contract in hand, Grip wiped the cold sweat from his forehead wearily, and said, "Since the deal has been concluded, we won't bother you any more..."
At this time, the old Diwen, who had been watching his nose and nose and heart, said: "Don't worry, President Grip, our Lake family still has a business and wants to talk to Gringotts. I don't know if we can come again." To waste your time."
"Of course, I would like to hear more about it."
Old Diwen put his hands on the table and said: "Before talking about this matter, I would like to ask Chairman Grip a very curious question... Do you prefer Gringotts to wizards to withdraw money?" Wizards to save money?"
Gripp had weird eyes, thinking about you? Isn’t that nonsense, but he still replied politely: “It’s only natural that our family opened a wizard bank not only because we have unique talents in finance and trade. , it is because of nature, we like to occupy unusable gold and silver treasures just like dragons, although in the eyes of you wizards, those gold coins are just looking for a place to store them, but in our opinion, those gold coins that entered Gringotts are It belongs to our goblins."
His grandma's, a bunch of greedy and disgusting goblin maggots!Old Diwen was cursing in his heart, but on the surface he was still serious: "That is to say, if the transactions between wizards no longer need to go to Gringotts to get money, but only need you to transfer the money inside Gringotts after the transaction... If there is a position...you will also accept it with pleasure?"
Grip frowned in confusion, "What does Mr. Devin mean? I didn't understand."
"Let's explain this matter to someone else..." Flora pushed Facebook out of the desktop, and the little fox in Facebook jumped out, and then transformed into Connor in Hogwarts uniform. Just now I have been listening remotely.
"Hello, President Grip, I'm Connor Lake, you must have heard of me."
Grip gave a goblin salute, and seemed to respect Connor very much: "Of course, respected Mr. Connor, I have admired you for a long time. Your invention has amazed us goblins. You are a great magician."
"Haha, don't dare to take it seriously, I'm just a student, and I still have a lot to learn," Connor said modestly, but in fact he was very receptive to compliments.
"Then let me briefly talk about the big business that our Lake family wants to discuss with Gringotts..." Connor nodded to Grip through the simulated projection on Facebook, and said:
"...Our Lake family wants to set up a third-party payment platform."
"What... what...? What platform?" Grip said blankly, "Sorry, Mr. Connor, I don't understand..."
"I'll explain it clearly..." Connor said with a smile: "Our Lake family wants to set up a third-party payment platform and directly connect with Gringotts currency. Simply put, it's..."
(4000 words omitted here)
"...We will use Facebook or other related devices as a bridge to virtualize the currency and simplify the entire transaction process. Simply put, someone pays us to the Lake family, and then passes the money to the other party through the Lake family. Corner Lane, Lake House will become a third-party platform that undertakes the entire synchronous exchange transaction service..."
"..." Glip was dizzy and didn't know what was going on, but he probably understood Connor's meaning because of his background in finance: "What you said...I probably understand, but you want How can I ensure that the transaction records are correct? Although I only heard a little bit, I can imagine the transaction volume involved.”
"This problem will be solved by our Lake family. We are researching a magic that can quickly calculate and process data. Once successful, this problem will naturally be solved."
"So...so that's how it is...I understand..." Gree didn't understand at all. Pu thought for a while, and then raised his head suddenly: "Your Lake family wants to get involved in the banking business!!?"
Greep showed panic and belatedly realized that this third-party platform, to put it mildly, actually robbed all the jobs of the bank?Was this trying to turn Gringotts into the Lake family's purse? !Although Grip has not yet figured out the twists and turns, but his intuition tells him that this person is definitely sinister!
"Mr. Connor, I can't decide on this matter alone. I need to report it to the parliament for discussion before I can respond..." Grip said perfunctorily, thinking of setting the Lake family as a first-level customer (threat level) after returning. …
"It's natural, it should be so..." Connor seemed to be curiously unintentionally: "I heard that Chairman Gripp intends to turn Gringotts in Diagon Alley into the first headquarters?"
Glip staggered in his heart: "Ah... I did... have such an idea..."
"Hahaha, with the support of our Lake family, I think the Guige's progress will go smoothly!" Connor laughed boastfully, making Gripp's heart tremble.
"Hehe...hehe, let me borrow your auspicious words..." Greep was crying, this guy is only 15 years old, why is he so proficient in naked threats...
Connor changed the topic: "President Grip, the most important thing for our Lake family is [fairness]. I am also very indignant at the unfair treatment you have received from the goblin tribe. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely do it for you." Those who speak out, I hope that Chairman Grip will not forget this when he reports our cooperation proposal to the parliament."
"If this cooperation can be successful, it will be a good thing for you and me, isn't it?"
President Grip, pondered for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Saturday, October [-]rd, morning.
Connor opened his eyes and lay on the bed, not really wanting to get up.
Today's weather is relatively cool, and it doesn't matter if the quilt is comfortable. A dormitory covered by magic is always the most pleasant environment. Moreover, Connor is a very self-disciplined person, and generally won't think about staying in bed.
The reason why he didn't want to get up was because he promised to make a date with Alice today... Bah, bah, bah, it's to go shopping together, not a date.
Connor was faced with a cruel choice at the time, and the two evils were the lesser. He agreed to Alice's invitation, but when things came to an end, Connor regretted it a little.
Thinking about it carefully, Penelope has always been relatively soft-tempered. Although I don’t know why she suddenly became a little abnormal recently, but I think she probably...maybe...should...not be so crazy that she is in school Just do something excessive to yourself.
But Alice is different. Not only does this bitch have no breasts, no buttocks, but she is also shameless, even if she does any outrageous things in public!
Although he has a high immunity to Alice, Connor also wants to save face. He must not lose his character as the little prince of Hogwarts. Cracks appear in the image of the perfect senior whom the brothers and sisters longed for!
But Connor is a trustworthy person after all. Now that he has promised, he can’t let Alice dove. Finally, when the time almost reached the bottom line, Connor reluctantly got up, washed and changed his clothes dejectedly, and yawned all over the place. Go out of the castle and appear in front of Alice at the appointed time.
"Morning, Alice..." Connor greeted listlessly.
It wasn't until Connor made a sound that Alice, who was looking forward to it, realized that Connor was already standing beside her. Alice's first reaction was to look at the pocket watch in her hand. The second hand just crossed XII. Alice puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction: " Connor, you were almost late! Just a little bit!! Keeping a lady waiting is not what a gentleman does!"
"I'm not late...and you're just here, too? I saw you coming..." Connor yawned.
"I got up early in the morning! And why are you wearing a school uniform!! Connor, you don't pay much attention to our first time!"
"Speak well, isn't it normal to wear a school uniform, and you..." Connor looked at the classical Lolita dress in front of him, a small shoulder bag, and his usual double ponytails. Wearing a soft hat and holding a small umbrella, Alice, who exuded unscrupulous charm, pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty.
Although this attire suits Alice very well in all aspects, but walking with Alice like this, the invisibility ring can't save her at all.
Connor sighed helplessly, he had already foreseen that his scandal would spread all over the sky tonight, his reputation was probably completely hopeless...
Alice was not aware of this, and noticed that after Connor observed his clothes, he happily turned around, "How is it? Does it look good?! It's been a long time since I picked it out. Moving to school, sometimes too much choice is not a good thing... so Connor, how is it? Does it look good?!"
"Well, it looks good, it suits you very well, okay, let's go..." Seeing that someone has noticed this side, Connor hurriedly told Alice to run away, otherwise it would be bad if the passive skill was triggered.
Alice angrily stepped on Connor's shadow and followed behind: "Stinky Connor! Step on you! Step on you! You just like to perfunctory me!"
"I don't. I always say what I say. I never lie, and I think your skirt will look better with a little dark element. This is my suggestion as an artist."
"Really!? So Connor, you like dark colors?"
"No, I just simply think goth goes with loli."
"? Forget it, forgive you, here!" Alice didn't understand, but she was no longer angry. She trotted forward and took Connor's hand, trying to stuff the small parasol into Connor's hand.
Connor put his hand away and refused to cooperate: "What are you doing?"
"You have an umbrella! You are too tall, I can't support you."
"So why do you need an umbrella? Wouldn't it be better if the sun can be separated by magic? Besides, it's not hot..."
"How can a lady go out without holding an umbrella?! Don't talk, take it!"
"Alice, I have to remind you, we're not out on a date, I'm out on business, and I'm just here to accompany you!"
"I know, I know, so you take the umbrella quickly."
"..." Connor took the handle of the umbrella in a daze, and then Alice hugged Connor's arm, without any intention of showing off, she was not skilled.
"Let's go, why stand there? I'm going to buy a lot of things today!" Alice raised her head and urged.
Go to hell!Going to the streets like this, I'm afraid I'm going to be on the Daily Prophet tomorrow!Connor felt that it was indeed a mistake to agree to Alice's invitation!
"Wait for me..." Connor pulled out his hand, took out a large piece of silky-looking fabric from his pocket, took the small parasol, and started making props on the spot.
"Connor, what is this?" Alice asked curiously as she touched the silky fabric.
"Invisibility cloak, high-end goods."
"what?"
"It's done!" Connor held up the modified small umbrella, and there seemed to be a voice prompt of "Dengdengdengdengdeng-!" in the air. Production is complete!
Connor put the umbrella on his head, and the whole person disappeared under Alice's blank gaze. After a while, Connor opened the curtain, and a head popped out of the air: "Come in, Alice .”
"..."
So, on the way from Hogwarts to Hogsmeade, two people suddenly "disappeared"...
"Ha, my idea is really good, maybe this kind of umbrella can still be mass-produced!" Connor said happily.
"..." Alice wanted to yell loudly, go out with girls and hide in the invisibility cloak, are you out of your mind! ?Isn't dating to show love to others! ? ?If you act recklessly like this, wouldn’t the plan of [cooking raw rice into mature rice] given by my military adviser be completely ruined! ? ? ?
But when she realized that she and Connor were actually two people hiding in a narrow space and closely connected, she suddenly opened her eyes wide and took a deep breath, even the air was full of Connor's smell!
Is it to use public opinion to increase your bargaining chips for the realization of great plans in the future?Or just coveting the momentary pleasure, indulging in Connor's masculinity?Alice resolutely chose the latter. She leaned on Connor's shoulder with a face full of intoxication. Anyway, there will be another chance next time... She comforted herself so...
"It seems a bit crowded, Alice, wait for me to say a spell."
"..." Seeing that under the command of Connor's wand, the small umbrella turned into a large umbrella, Alice froze in place, dumbfounded.
"Well, this way you don't have to work so hard to stick to me, and the bigger the umbrella can better shade us, and others can't see us, perfect! Alice, let's go, let's go."
"..." I don't want to go, I want to go back to the castle!Alice's eyes were in a trance, and her highlights were lost. Why is my first date completely different from what I imagined? !

Chapter 2 Dating [-]

(This chapter is not finished, it will be edited after posting it first.... (The last chapter will also be changed, so I suggest you read it tomorrow))
When the two came to Hogsmeade Village under umbrellas, they found that the village was very lively today.
"Dad, there seem to be a lot of people today."
"Well, indeed, probably all the students above the third grade have come out, and there are many foreign wizards. I feel that Hogsmeade Village is going to become Hogsmeade Town."
"It seems that construction is starting over there?"
"Yes, I heard that more and more wizards have decided to settle here. The Goblin Cup Memorial Hall has been built, and St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries has also announced that it will build a branch here, and this is still a school district house. Isn't this much better than Godric's Hollow?"
"What is daddy doing?"
"The square under construction, Hogsmeade Square, is still paid by our family. In fact, it has already been planned here. Various facilities and buildings, many of which are cooperative projects between our family and the Windsor family, right? Alice...Alice?"
Alice pulled Connor's coat sleeves, and followed her step by step with her head lowered. A black cyclone was almost visible to the naked eye hovering over her head, as if the whole person was lifeless.
Originally thought that this date would be an opportunity for him to turn defeat into victory, but found that it was all his fantasy, and this date was abnormal from the beginning.
Is there anyone in this world who would date while wearing an invisibility cloak? !That's fine, what's the matter with an angel suddenly jumping out from behind Connor after finding out that others couldn't see it! ! ?Show me respect for a date!Give me back my pink and sweet world of two!
These magic paintings are actually devils!I thought that after finally gaining Artoria's friendship, the attack on Connor would be smooth, but another angel appeared to hinder me!Don't bother us humans to fall in love after just a few pictures, okay!Fuck all the paper people! !
"Love...Alice?" Connor couldn't ignore Alice's almost physical resentment, "What do you want to buy? Shall I accompany you?"
"I'm going to buy the new Weasley's skin cream...and...by the way, can I take the Housekeeping Golem back to school? I'm going to buy one if I can."
"Although the school has not explicitly banned it... But I feel that this day will not be too long. After all, not all students can afford golems. This is unfair to many people, and as a student, you have to bring a servant into the school It's too outrageous." Connor shrugged: "So you better not think about it, there are no golems for sale in Hogsmeade Village."
"That's it... forget it, anyway, the family has already bought it..." Alice shook her head listlessly, and then suddenly realized: "By the way, Connor, you can't open an umbrella when you enter the store, right?"
"Of course not..."
"Then let's go!"
Alice suddenly became interested again, and dragged Connor to the Lake Tavern, but when she got to the door of the store, she found a large crowd of people.
"Connor, what's the matter with these people? They've blocked the door!" Alice frowned, and there were circle after circle of people in front of her. With her height, she couldn't see what was going on inside.
"Ah...someone seems to be performing...let's take a look first."
"Wait! I can't see! Connor, hug me!"
Connor threw a Facebook to Alice, and then asked Angel, who was riding on him, to hold the camera, "This way I can see it."
"..." Alice was speechless, and could only look down at Facebook sullenly.
Surrounded by the crowd was a 27-year-old young wizard, holding a pen high in his hand. It was the magic pen of the Lake family. His expression looked very excited, and he was speaking loudly to the crowd:
"Friends! Believe me! This magic pen is definitely not as simple as imagined! Its function is beyond our imagination! Look!"
The young man took out a piece of white paper, and drew a knife on the paper with the magic brush in his hand. Although the drawing was crooked, everyone could still tell that it was a knife.
Then the knife was materialized from the painting, because the magic painting drawn with the magic brush could not leave the paper, so the young man wrapped the handle of the knife with paper and held it in his hand: "Everyone, please look! This is drawn with the magic brush." Even though I didn’t draw the same knife, it’s just like a real knife! Just look at its power!”
The young man picked up the prepared branch on the ground, used his magic wand to turn it into a small knife, and then touched the drawn knife with the transformed knife, and the changed knife was cut off by the drawn knife.
"Wow!" The crowd suddenly became noisy, although they didn't know what was going on, but the excitement was very exciting.
"Did you see it! The magic painting drawn by the magic pen is different from the one we created with the transformation technique! It has similar transformation ability, but the drawn knife is much more powerful than the transformation technique knife! I don't know if it is What's the matter, but I have tried it many times myself, and the result is the same!"
Alice looked up and asked, "Connor, what's going on?"
Connor smiled and did not answer, "You continue to read."
The young man didn't stop there. He took out another blank piece of paper, drew on it with a magic pen, and said loudly, "I don't know if you have tried using a magic pen to make a magic scroll? I highly recommend that everyone Go try it out! Then we'll find out..."
The young man stood up, holding two pieces of paper in his hand, one was the white paper he had ghost-drawn just now, and the other... was the magic card of the Lake family, the texture should be the water card representing the Curse of Clear Spring .
"Everyone, please take a look! This is a scroll I drew with a magic brush. It is the simplest magic pattern of the water element, and this is the [Qingquan Curse] magic card sold by the Lake family for one silver Sickle! Look at the two. Effect!"
The young man tore the Lake magic card first, and a ball of water popped out of the broken card instantly. It was the most common effect, and everyone was used to it. A large ball of water exploded from it, like a fully loaded sprinkler truck suddenly exploded, drenching the crowd of onlookers—fortunately, Connor had an umbrella.
"F**k!!"
"Who is it! Labor and capital sharked you!!"
The crowd suddenly dispersed in all directions, and innocent passers-by were yelling, which attracted more people's attention. The young man seemed to apologize to the angry passers-by, and then continued to say excitedly:
"As you can see! The magic scrolls we made with magic pens are much more powerful than those sold in the store! It is definitely not just the Qingquan curse, but other magics are the same! Anything we make by ourselves is more powerful than the ones sold in the store Several grades higher!"
"Friends! Don't be fooled into buying magic cards! Let's learn to use the magic pen together!!"

Chapter 3 Dating [-]

"Hey buddy, can you go a little further away for your speech? You're here to stop us from doing business."
When the young man wanted to continue talking, Bob, the owner of the Lake Tavern, came out to chase people away. The young man ran away in a panic, but he still took away a group of passers-by who wanted to continue listening to his discovery, and soon the people in front of the Lake Tavern The pile was scattered like a black bird.
In Connor's "invisible field", Alice tugged at Connor's robe and asked, "Connor, is everything that man said true?"
"Of course it's true. Didn't I teach everyone how to use the magic pen in the fraternity? If it wasn't a good thing, why would I remind you?" Connor shrugged.
"But... In this way, your magic card business won't be...wait a minute, didn't you arrange the person Connor just now?" Alice's eyes widened suddenly.
"That's right, Alice, you actually thought of it. You're quite smart. In order to increase the sales of the magic pen, this is a babysitter deliberately arranged by our family. In a few days, major newspapers will have a report on the use of the magic pen." , This is our publicity strategy."
"This...why use this method for publicity, isn't it good to directly issue a positive official statement? Is that the effect of the magic pen itself?"
Connor spread his hands: "It's because we don't want to publicize it openly. For various reasons, we don't intend to admit the special effects of the magic pen, and... people are always more willing to believe the answers they find, aren't they?"
Alice put away the mask, her small face was full of seriousness, "No wonder you didn't care much about the magic scroll being produced by other families from the beginning, so you have already prepared the magic pen for the last trick? Your family Didn't plan to make money on magic cards in the first place?"
Connor smiled, noncommittal: "Magic cards are not a business that will lose money. What do you mean if you don't intend to make money? Even if the cards you make are more powerful and more useful, some people will still buy ready-made ones. However, the price will be lowered in the future, but no matter how much the price is reduced, it will still make money, after all, the cost of this thing is very low.”
"But those families who spent a lot of money to build factories in order to grab your family's business will suffer a lot, right? After discovering that the magic scrolls they produce are not only inferior to your family's sales, sales are still falling, and in the end they may still be sold. Selling the factory in order to stop the loss, but your Lake family can take the opportunity to buy their factory! Connor, you are so bad! I like it so much!"
Alice's eyes became brighter as she talked, and finally turned into star eyes, and her whole body was hung on Connor.
"Don't talk nonsense, where is this? Our family is a serious businessman. There is nothing bad or not. Even if it is bad, it's none of my business. I'm just a student and I don't know anything."
"Hey, Connor, what's the matter with the magic pen? Why are there so many special effects?"
"Because the magic pen is a more advanced tool than the magic wand, just like humans used bronze swords in the past, then iron knives, and now steel blades. Humans have gained the status of the overlord of the earth by being good at using tools. Isn’t it normal that better and more advanced tools are more efficient and useful?”
Connor pointed to the crowd walking towards the square, and the young man over there was still continuing his speech, "For example, the knife he drew just now easily cut off the knife of Transfiguration, that's because the 'manifesting demon' drawn by the magic brush Painting', this is the most advanced form of transfiguration—magic transfiguration.”
"When we use the transformation technique, the effect of the transformation technique will be affected by the deformation material to some extent. This is unavoidable. If you point a branch to make it into a knife, you subconsciously know that the knife is transformed from a branch. But the magic painting is different. The knife in the magic painting is a manifestation of magic power. Wizards have a vague concept of magic power. When a wizard draws a knife, he doesn't think about what it is, but only thinks that the knife is very sharp.. .”
"...Let me put it another way, assuming that when a wizard uses Transfiguration, his thinking circuit is [branch-transformation-knife], then when he draws a magic painting, his thinking circuit becomes [painting -knife-sharp]...do you understand what I mean? Because of the material and the casting process, the magic painting looks a little more powerful than the transfiguration."
Alice suddenly said: "So if a Transfiguration master were to try the test just now, it wouldn't have such an effect?"
"That's right. In fact, that person's first performance can only deceive those who are not good at learning the art. It's not right. It can't be said to be a lie. After all, this effect is real. There are people who really understand Transfiguration. How many can there be?"
Connor smiled, and continued: "The second performance is actually very simple. The magic power contained in the magic cards made through mechanical unification is a standard amount, and the effects are all the same. When you make the scroll yourself, pour it into it. Of course, the effect will be different if a lot of magic power is added, and a person's understanding of the magic pattern will also affect the effect of the scroll."
"One thing to say, making your own cards is better than mass-produced ones, just like buying vegetables and cooking is more cost-effective than ordering takeaways. Isn't that all a matter of course?"
Connor shrugged: "To put it bluntly, the magic pen is a new tool that provides wizards with another method of casting spells. Compared with the wand, it is like a long knife and a rapier, each with its own purpose. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no distinction between high and low."
"But a Squib can use a Magic Pen too, can't it?"
"This is one of the advantages of the magic pen. Let's not talk about it. You don't want to go into the store to buy things. Let's go." Connor put away the small umbrella, and walked into the Lake Tavern with Alice.
Alice was so happy now, she took Connor's arm and followed along almost bouncing around. Connor had nothing to do with her, as long as he didn't do anything outrageous, he let her go. As a result, the two just As soon as he walked into the store, he noticed dozens of pairs of eyes shooting towards him.
"..." Connor glanced at the seat next to him, good guy, they are all acquaintances, Fred George raised his wine glass to Connor, Cedric winked over there, Penello The menu is upside down and the eyes are staring at this side, there are several tables looking at the girls who are laughing and laughing, half of the tavern is full of people from the fraternity!
Feelings, you ran over here early in the morning to watch me being lively?Do you want to gossip like this! ?Also take pictures!You shoot Nima! ?
Connor suddenly wondered if the image he had set up was too gentle. This group of horsemen obviously lacked due respect for their boss, which is very bad!
After Alice noticed the "group of relatives and friends" beside her, she waved happily to them and almost read her acceptance speech in public.

Chapter 4 Dating [-]

(First send first...not finished)
Connor ignored the group of Hanhan who gathered to call for fear of chaos, walked to the bar and greeted the curator: "Bob, is business going well? Hey, Hermione is here too."
The girl with her iconic messy curly hair sitting in front of the bar turned her back hastily, holding a glass of juice in her hand. Seeing that it was Connor, she took a sip of the straw in fright, and ended up drinking Almost choked on himself in such a hurry.
"Ahem! It's...it's the president! Good morning!"
It really was Hermione, but today this Hermione wore glasses, her hair was messed up more than usual, and she made some simple disguises. There was no doubt that she ran out secretly.
"Hermione? Second graders are not allowed to leave school on weekends, right? Why did you sneak out?" Alice hugged Connor's arm tightly. She was not good to this girl who was considered close to Connor. impression.
"This... that... I asked Fred to bring me out, I have something to do..." Hermione raised a hand, "I promised I wouldn't run around! "
"Hermione, are you here to sell your works? Why, are you already confident in selling your works to others?" Connor knew what Hermione was doing, after all, Hermione was his "big disciple".
"Hey, after all, I want to make money sooner. You see, this juice was bought by Fred and the others. I'm too poor! I'm negotiating the price with the store manager. I didn't expect you to come here so early. I didn't hear the notification..."
"..." What do you mean by that last sentence?You tell me clearly!Those bastards of the fraternity will broadcast my whereabouts live in the group! ?Are these guys so boring?
"Oh, I remembered, Hermione, you asked us to earn pocket money before, and then it was Penelope...well, so what did you think of?" Alice asked a little curiously .
"Good morning, Boss Connor, I haven't seen you come to play with me for a long time." Bob with a big bald head turned from the bar and smiled brightly at Connor: "Would you like a drink?" ? Little boss."
"Have a cup of honey, how about you, Alice?"
"Can I have a glass of iced sherry?"
"Sorry, we don't serve alcohol to minors, miss."
"It's boring, so just have a glass of juice."
Connor sat next to Hermione, and Alice sat on the other side of him. Noticing a small package wrapped in cloth in front of Hermione, Connor asked, "Hermione, what have you prepared this time?"
"Oh, I prepared a homemade magic scroll and some puppet chips." Hermione opened the small package, which contained a few rolled parchments and a small pile of small cards.
"Magic scrolls? Are you planning to make money from this? There are also golem chips... It seems to be used for housekeeping golems. I haven't even understood what it is for..." Alice asked curiously: "Now everyone should be thinking of making scrolls by themselves? If you make them yourself, will anyone really buy them?"
"I don't know either... I listened to the president's advice and then tried it..." Hermione was also very uncertain about this, and looked at Connor suspiciously.
"Don't worry, as long as it is useful, someone will buy it. Hermione, did you make the combination scroll as I said?"
"Yes, I made this. It is a scroll of [Levitation Curse] + [Petrochemical Curse]. I can only make this at the moment. Maybe it can be used as a trap? Except this is some spell scrolls that are not available on the market. For example, Alahoo Cave and various summoning spells... I hope someone will buy it..."
"Oh, I understand, because there are only a few kinds of magic scrolls on the market, so if you make scrolls of some uncommon magics, people might buy them, right?" Alice suddenly realized.
"Well, although I also understand this truth, I am skeptical about whether it can be sold..." Hermione lay on the table a little discouraged: "Is there really anyone who would buy such a useless thing? Yes. It’s better to do it yourself at that time, isn’t it? President, I always feel that you are lying to me..."
"Be at ease~ There are always fools...cough, there will always be someone who needs it, and the combination of spells and patterns cannot be produced by machines. There will definitely be a market for this in the future. You can think about it and see if you can come up with something else. The scroll, what if it sells out, right?"
"Come on, your honey stuffed and juice." Bob came back and added to the topic: "Little girl, just put your stuff here. Did you see that counter over there? For products, we charge a [-]% agency fee, and we will notify you as soon as they are sold, and by the way, you have to set a price for your babies."
Hermione looked at Connor helplessly: "President, how much is the price for this?"
"Emmm scrolls are a little more expensive than magic cards, 30 Nats. As for chips, how about 10 Sickles?"
"Eh? It's so expensive!? Will anyone buy it?" Hermione herself was frightened by the price, a little guilty and a little moved.
"Hey, so can someone explain to me what this chip is?" Alice patted the table dissatisfied, "I don't understand, I'm curious."
"It is a small object for the housekeeping puppet to improve itself. A chip is equivalent to a memory. The housekeeping puppet can learn the above skills by reading the memory..." Connor briefly explained the principle of the chip to Alice , and then pointed to the counter on the side of the store:
"...chips are very troublesome to manufacture, and it is actually very unrealistic to manufacture them in factories. The chips currently sold by our family are actually replicas of various memories used in the production of golems. In fact, all golems I have learned it once, but I didn’t learn it the first time, so I can only learn it for the second time. In addition, this kind of chip can also be made with the magic pen, which can be regarded as an advanced use skill of the magic pen.”
"It sounds interesting, but why haven't I heard anyone discuss it before?" Alice nodded and asked.
"Ha, they haven't even figured out how to use the puppet. I mean the correct use, not ahem. In short, it will take a while to ferment, so there is no rush..." Connor hurriedly shifted The topic said: "By the way, Hermione, what are these chips of yours?"
Hermione blushed, and said embarrassedly: "I think that many wizards may be interested in things in the Muggle world, so I made the use of those electrical appliances into chips. This...will anyone buy it?"
"Yes, yes, someone will definitely buy it. Besides that? Is there anything else?"
"and also..."

Chapter 5 Dating [-]

Something's wrong, something's wrong, something's wrong... Alice, who went to the toilet in the tavern and greeted her relatives and friends one by one before returning to her original position, was shaking her legs crazily, and was on the verge of going berserk .
The reason is simple, since Connor sat down just now, he has been chatting with that chick, and the chat has not stopped until now!Still talking more and more vigorously!
Have you forgotten who you are dating today! ! !The title of this date has been linked to five chapters!Do you have any chapters that are doing business! ?
It's too much!unacceptable!Alice tightly held the empty glass that had already been drunk, and the double ponytails were already upturned in violation of the laws of mechanics under the action of a strange force. I will not easily forgive such a bastard Connor——
"Ah, it seems like we've been talking for a while, Alice, let's go shopping."
"Okay ~ let's go now!"
The haze on Alice's face was swept away, and the ponytails jumped with joy, and her smile brightened instantly.
"Hermione, remember to use your brain and think about it, the magic pen actually has many uses waiting for you to discover..."
"Okay, okay! Connor, let's go upstairs quickly. I've seen several hats. You can help me choose." Alice ran away without saying a word, pulling Connor. She suddenly felt like wearing an invisibility cloak with Connor. Going shopping is a good thing, at least no one else will bother you.
"Hey, don't go in such a hurry, that Hermione, I'll go first."
"Goodbye, Presidents..."
Connor and Alice came to the second floor of the Lake Tavern and unlocked the new area [Wizard Supermarket]——Since the signing of the agreement of the Wizard International Joint Chamber of Commerce, the Ministry of Magic of various countries has opened up the control of the import and export of magic goods in other countries. More and more magic props from other countries have been put on the shelves of the Lake store, and the wizard supermarket has begun to take shape.
Although the types of various products are still relatively monotonous, Connor believes that there will be more and more magic products from various countries in the future.
The second floor of the tavern that has been expanded by magic is very spacious. At this time, there are still many students holding various "balloons" to choose goods everywhere. The shopping guide is naturally a housekeeping puppet. Although the shelves seem relatively empty, there are already What a Muggle supermarket looks like.
Connor is also in a good mood at this time. The magic world is changing bit by bit according to his ideas. This kind of pleasure of changing the world by himself makes him unable to stop. This is probably his wish after this absurd time travel. One of the few pursuits in life...
"Connor Connor, what do you think of this hat! It's a magic hat! It turns out that the Soviets still have this style of magic hat, unlike us who only have round top hats. How about it? Does it look good?!"
Alice, of course, pulled Connor to the clothing area immediately. There are magical costumes from all over the world, such as magic hats. In fact, magic hats have always been common equipment for wizards, like the sorting hat with a big round top. Hats generally have the function of calming the mind and assisting in casting spells.
There are still many shops in the wizarding world in the UK that can make this kind of hat, but because of the rapid development of the times, the bowler wizard hat has actually been "outdated", and few people except the older generation of wizards will wear it, but the British He is very old-fashioned and unwilling to change the style of the magic hat, so there are very few wizards who buy magic hats now.
And now, goods from other countries have given British wizards more choice, which is indeed a good thing.
Alice took off the soft hat she was wearing earlier, picked up a boat hat made of wool and put it on, tilting her head to ask Connor for his opinion.
"Well, it's pretty good-looking, it would be nice if it was changed to another color..." Connor dryly raised his opinion with the corners of his mouth pulled.
"Why? Doesn't green look good?"
"Ahem, it's just that I personally don't like green very much. Of course, it's fine if you like it. Don't worry about my opinion."
"Eh? That's it..." Alice took off her hat with some reluctance, and muttered, "I quite like the colors of our college...Forget it, the Italian wide-brimmed hats here are also good... "
Facts have proved that the wizard princess is no different from ordinary girls. When there is a place to shop for her, the enthusiasm that bursts out is beyond imagination. There is only so much space on the second floor, but I didn't finish shopping for a long time.
"I've bought a lot of things! I'm happy!" There are already several shopping bubble balloons floating around Alice (they are props like shopping carts), and she runs around holding these balloons. Schoolchildren are no different...
"Okay, okay, enough shopping? Will you really use all the things you bought that you don't have?" Connor scolded angrily.
"How can it be useless! These are exotic specialties that I don't usually have a chance to use! Look at this Egyptian fragrance, Spanish La Roche-Posay, Bulgarian yogurt...all good things!"
"This green caterpillar-like candy, are you sure you want to buy it?"
"Hmph, I'm going to buy it to scare Astoria and the others. The two sisters are most afraid of bugs."
"...as long as you are happy."
"Hey~ Thank you, Connor, I had a great time shopping!" Alice hopped and hugged Connor's arm, then pointed to a door covered by a curtain and said, "Leave after visiting the last place! Set off!"
Connor pressed Alice's head with one hand, and said lightly, "Didn't you see the [Underage No Entry] sign? Little wizards who are not adults can't enter that door!"
"I see, but aren't you the big boss, Connor? Are there places in your store that you can't go?"
"Of course I can go in... No, this is not the point. Anyway, the products sold there are not suitable for you! The ones sold there are all dangerous magic props, and there is nothing interesting about it. Let's go."
"Eh?! But I haven't finished shopping yet..."
Alice was forcefully dragged away by Connor. She turned her head three times, and became more and more curious: "What does Connor sell? Could it be... black magic props?"
"..." Connor was expressionless. Of course, they were in charge of selling some relatively gray magic props. Of course, there were more magic props that were not suitable for children. After all... human beings created in a certain way Power is always exceptionally good. Connor was an eye-opener at the beginning, and he was shocked for the first time as a [conservative British guy]...
"Of course there are no black magic props. They just sell some powerful magic props, as well as some very expensive, rare magic props with special uses... such as Egyptian mummies or something, in short It is nothing special..."
Connor casually said, although he knew he couldn't hide it, and there would probably be various "gossip" among the students in the near future, but he would not take the initiative to tell his sister such things...
"Hey... Really, I thought there would be something like that to buy..." Alice muttered in a low voice, but Connor pretended he didn't hear it, and dragged her to check out.
