Fortunately, it was just a few empty glass bottles. Hope used the repair spell to restore the glass bottles.

Back at the original place, Hope took out a brush and a small bottle of blood from the box. This was ink made with dragon blood. Then Hope dipped a little special ink into the brush and drew two alchemical formations on the table. , and then put the two ends of the metal wand into the two alchemy arrays respectively.

This is an ancient method of alchemy. The main body of the refining is placed in the center of the alchemy array, other materials are placed around it, and finally the alchemy array is used to combine them. If it succeeds, you will get a complete alchemy item. If it fails, these materials will turn into a pile of useless garbage that cannot be reused, so now basically no one uses this method anymore.

After finishing this, Hope took out a set of small furnaces from the box, put the metal blocks into the furnace, and then used the flame spell to heat the furnace. The flame of the flame spell can be controlled by the output of magic power. Generally speaking, its temperature is fixed. If you increase the magic power output, it will only expand the range of the flame. However, if you control the flame within a certain range and increase the magic power output, the temperature will increase.

However, it is more dangerous to do so. If you are not careful, you will become an explosive wizard. But compared to the dangerous fire curse that could kill the owner, this is safer.

As the temperature continued to rise, the metal block turned into a liquid. Looking almost ready, Hope took two plates and placed them next to the two alchemy arrays, and then immediately poured the metal liquid into the two plates.

While the metal liquid had not solidified, Hope held the pistol wand in his right hand and muttered: "Extract the magic power!" Then he pointed it at the alchemy array with the metal wand head, and then held his original wand in his left hand and pointed it at the metal wand. At the end of the alchemy formation, he waved his wand and said: "Introduction of magic!" At the same time, he pulled the pistol wand.

In an instant, a flame rose. When the flame disappeared, the alchemy array and the metallic liquid disappeared, leaving only the metal wand.

Looking at the metal wand that was intact and not turned into scrap metal, Hope breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that the alchemy had not failed.

Before, he was still thinking about the usefulness of the pistol wand's delayed spell casting, but now he has used it. He can release two different spells at the same time to perform alchemy rituals.

Hope took a set of dragon leather gloves and put them on his hands, and then picked up the metal wand. As for why he put on the dragon leather gloves specifically, it was because the wand was a little hot from the fire.

Picking up the metal wand, Hope immediately felt something different. The weight had changed. That was because the previous metal liquid was integrated into the wand head and wand tail. If you cut the wand open, you will find that the cross-section of the metal is clear. The thin lines, which are the magic formulas drawn by alchemical symbols, have been integrated into the metal wand.

Looking at the metal wand, there was no flaw, and the walnut wand wrapped inside was intact and not burned.

When the metal wand was almost cooled down, Hope handed it to Caleb: "Okay, let's try to see if it works."

After Caleb got it, he went to the training area non-stop for testing. Mateo was almost finished. Mateo had already sealed the inlay with resin. In order not to affect the glow of the ruby, Mateo only placed the inlay on the edge. The parts were coated with resin, and now they are dried using an alcohol lamp.

After Hope told him that Caleb's metal wand was ready, Mateo left the job to Hope, and he took his notebook to record the data.

Not long after, Yulin's star wand was healed, but Yulin disliked it very much. The resin-coated area looked like bags hanging there. She felt it was ugly, and it looked better after Hope polished it.

After testing, the shortcomings of the metal wand and star wand have been greatly improved. It seems that the problems they had guessed before were correct.

This time the customization of the wand went very smoothly. Hope excitedly took Mateo's arm and said, "Can we recommend to other students how to make customized wands? You are just around the corner from the legendary wand master."

Mateo sneered and did not answer. Instead, he asked: "How many galleons do you think the materials we used to make the wand are worth this time?"

Hope was stunned and began to calculate, the walnut wood guarded by the Bowtruckle, the hair of the rare magical animal Reem Cow, and Mateo's unknown value of auxiliary potions, plus the crafting fee, a wand At least it would cost seventy or eighty galleons.

Seeing Hope's astonished expression, Mateo was very satisfied: "Have you figured it out? How many of our classmates do you think can spend so much money to make a wand?"

"Then why did I only spend seven gold galleons when I bought the wand?" Hope asked doubtfully.

"My grandfather has a list of the new students who come to buy wands. Hogwarts will give each new student a subsidy." Mateo replied.

In this case, the fledgling Mateo wand will basically not be sold. Basically everyone has one of these wands, and this thing is quite durable. If the next generation doesn’t want to buy one, they can just use the one from their grandparents. It can be said that the wand lasts forever. , a stick that will be passed down forever. Even if someone's wand breaks, it is the wandmaker who is looking for him.

Thinking about it this way, is Ollivanders able to continue to this day because of its cooperation with Hogwarts?

Mateo is not worried about whether he can quickly become a wand-making master. After all, the surname Ollivander is the best golden name, and his name is well-known in continental Europe. When he inherits his grandfather's wand shop in the future, he will continue to do so. Throwing the wand made by his grandfather into the warehouse and replacing it with the wand he made, it won't be long before others call him the Master Wandmaker.

But before that, he had to learn alchemy from Hope. Wand making was also a type of alchemy, so Mateo learned quickly.

Time passed little by little, and the learning progress of Mateo, Yulin and Caleb's Patronus Charm was a bit unsatisfactory. Hope was so angry that his teeth itched. The spell was obviously so simple, why couldn't he learn it after so long? Yes.

Every time Hope yelled angrily: "You are the worst class I have ever taught."

These words made Mateo, Yulin and Caleb look at each other. Did Hope teach others?

It was not until Halloween was approaching that the three of them reached the stage of releasing the white mist, which was still a little short of taking shape. During this period, Hope thought of many ways and even prepared a batch of joy potions.

However, this external force has no effect, and the remaining Joy Potion can only be thrown into the secret base to eat dust. Although this high-end potion is valuable, the unfortunate thing is that the Joy Potion is one of the banned drugs listed by the Ministry of Magic. , they have no channel to sell it.
