No wizard would refuse to make a sacred artifact, and there was no way he could refuse it.
Noah also hesitated: "How sure are you?"
Keppel said without hesitation: "We still need some time to prepare. The details must be determined after research."
That kind of gem is just a key material, but they have to study it carefully on how to make it. After all, it is a technology that has been lost for a long time. Just researching and deducing it is a big project, let alone making it by hand, which will take a long time. time.
Noah did not refuse: "I need to see your research manuscript at any time."
They signed a new contract. Noah went back to the castle and handed the heavily sealed pendant to the two of them again: "I have placed a sealing spell like this. As long as you don't touch the seal, you don't have to worry about it." I’m worried that what happened before will happen again. But there’s one thing I need to warn you about.”
He paused, and although they couldn't see his face, the two of them could clearly feel his cold and scrutinizing gaze.
"You'd better be careful when touching this thing and watch your brain. If any bad thoughts are captured by this stone, I won't be able to get there in time for the second time."
His warning was enough to deter him, and the aftermath of the previous suffocation was still fresh in his mind, so the two of them naturally didn't say anything more.
After reaching an agreement, Noah planned to leave.
"Wait," Keppel stopped him, and Wade handed over a piece of parchment, "This is the clue we found about Slytherin's relics before. In addition to the box, there are other things."
However, they only deciphered the part about the box, and the rest of the content was still blank. Now they are more interested in making holy artifacts. Other things are dangerous and difficult to find, so they should just give their allies a little fun.
At this moment, in the eyes of the two of them, Slytherin's other relics were far less important than making the holy artifacts themselves.
Although he guessed what the two were thinking, Noah, who was not a qualified alchemist, could only complain a few words secretly and accepted the parchment. I can interpret it later when I have a chance.
…
Noah managed to make an alchemy doll before the holidays.
It was originally planned to be made into a walking stick, but the technical requirements were quite high, so Noah had to settle for a second chance and make one...
Keya looked at the unknown creature in front of him with eight legs, four arms, four-knuckled fingers, and a full red ring on its head. He was silent for a long time, and tentatively asked his master what kind of creature it was. Spiders can also be octopuses?
Noah: "Well, a kind of autonomous doll that is more in line with biology and mechanics."
What does a snake know about biology and mechanics? It only knows simple "aesthetics."
So Keya can only say that this doll looks really weird.
Noah: "It's okay, as long as it's easy to use."
He glanced at the doll's chest, which was covered with scores, and cleared his voice: "I'll call you No. 1."
A circular magic circle lights up on the red ring on the head of Doll No. 1, indicating that the order has been received.
Noah originally planned to make this doll into a "nanny" type, so he added so many arms and legs to it. Although it looks a bit weird, it is better than being able to do multiple jobs at the same time, and it is also loaded with Some simple magic models that can cast some small spells.
However, because it is the first product, the magic is very simple, such as cleaning, detection and other magics. The offensive magic is just loaded with a simple "air cannon", which basically has no combat effectiveness.
But I don’t expect it to have any combat effectiveness. This castle itself is a "fortress". Noah has not done the other things yet, but [Alert] and [Control the Enemy] have done the best they can. This means that this alchemy doll only needs to be used to maintain the daily operations of the castle.
The next step is to prepare for the start of school.
Noah looked at the time and decided to go back early tonight.
…
The next morning was the first day of school.
Noah got up early as usual and quickly packed up with Lamy.
own luggage.
He walked over to the incubator on the table and noticed that Koya was much sluggish.
During the nearly two-month vacation, Keya has been in the stage of molting, which is not normal for a normal snake. Of course, Keya's molting period has never been so long before, but the strange thing is that Keya himself But his condition was very good, and he didn’t look anxious at all. In addition, when Noah checked his body, he found that Keya had no back problems except that his cell activity was high, so he could only wait patiently.
It looks like it's about to shed its skin today?
Noah checked Keya's condition and found that Keya had entered the molting stage normally. The ruby-red snake eyes had become a little dim, and the scales had become dry and grayish.
He simply picked up the incubator and went downstairs with Lamy.
Cristina is already five months pregnant and is already more obviously pregnant, so she will stay at home this time and only Cooper will take Noah to the station.
On the way Cooper inevitably brought up his new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
It stands to reason that the new professor will not be particularly publicized by the school. After all, to a certain extent, it is not a glorious thing to constantly change Defense Against the Dark Arts professors. Although the news will inevitably spread, it will not be to the extent of publicity.
This year is an exception, because this year’s Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is——
"...Gilderoy Lockhart," Cooper muttered the name, "I remember you have a complete set of his books in your bookcase?"
"That's right." So much so that he didn't need to buy extra Defense Against the Dark Arts textbooks this year.
Noah rubbed his forehead: "I actually used my own as a textbook..."
Cooper also doesn't have a good impression of Lockhart, and of course the reason for this is because of Christina. This guy who was highly praised by his wife seemed to Cooper to be an overly exaggerated guy. After being criticized by his wife for questioning the authenticity of those biographies, he was even less impressed by him.
Noah simply felt that Lockhart was unreliable, and he didn't really want to hear the new professor bragging about his glorious history in class, but he was quite interested in the professor's level of forgetfulness spells.
Cooper was still thankful that Noah didn't have to buy any extra books, because Lockhart was said to be hosting book signings in the bookstore for several days.
Noah: "..."
Probably realizing that his jealousy was exposed, Cooper coughed slightly and changed the subject: "Your game has been well received, and the money I earned has been deposited in the Fairy Bank in your name. If you need pocket money, Just write to the bank directly for the money, things in Hogsmeade are not cheap."
"I know, Dad."
