Chapter 276 I Know Clearly That He Is Deceiving Me, But I Still Think It Makes Sense!
Wayne's teasing scared Newt to death.
He can be regarded as one of the few people in the world who knows Grindelwald best.
Even the relationship history between the other party and Dumbledore was clearly known.
No matter in terms of strength, means, or charm, Newt does not have Grindelwald's weaknesses at all.
Even though he had ruined the other party's plot many times at that time, he had done so by various coincidences, and with Dumbledore's help secretly, he wouldn't know how many times he would die if he did it again.
If time could go back to that era, Newt would also choose to listen to Dumbledore's trick and come to New York, but he would definitely keep an eye on his suitcase, pursue Tina, and then find a place to live in seclusion.
Whoever is willing to go against Grindelwald can go, he won't do it anyway.
But when he thought that Grindelwald had not been released after being imprisoned for so many years, Newt realized that Wayne was just making fun of him and glared at him angrily:
"Don't make fun of me with Grindelwald in the future. The psychological impact is too great."
Everyone laughed, and Nico agreed: "It would be better for him not to come out. Last time in Paris, he almost tore my old bones apart."
Only Qiu was confused.
In the education that little wizards of her age receive, mysterious people are the most terrifying dark wizards, and they cannot even be mentioned by name.
As for Grindelwald, he is just a character who exists in the history books. He can be remembered because Dumbledore reached the peak of his reputation by defeating him.
She didn't understand why powerful wizards like Nicoléme and Newt were so afraid.
Wayne didn't mean to explain, there were many things that people couldn't understand just by talking about them.
Only by living in that era can one appreciate Grindelwald's terrifying influence, which Voldemort simply cannot compare to.
He instructed: "After you two learn this transformation technique, you can use the water of life, so you don't have to worry about attracting attention outside.
As for Nico and Perenal...if these two want to rely on the water of life to become younger, the amount required will be too large.
It would be better to wait until they are in need and ask King Feng to come directly.
Over the next few days, Wayne and Nico worked on splitting the Ravenclaw diadem and the fragments of Voldemort's soul.
In order to allow Wayne to spend more time with his little girlfriend, Nico very considerately only asked him to come over in the morning to help and teach him about alchemy.
The rest of the time was spent studying alone.
When Nico is in working mode, he simply forgets to sleep and eat. He has to be reminded several times a day before he can rest and eat.
When I feel tired and sleepy, I often just drink a bottle of energy potion and then continue to explode my liver.
But precisely because of such concentration and serious attitude, he quickly found a way.
On this day, Nico pulled Wayne into the laboratory who was feeding goldfish with Qiu.
"I have two ideas now. You should listen to them first and see which one is more suitable."
Wayne nodded and waited for Nico's next words.
"First, I heard that the blood curse you used to cure Nagini relied on the magical ability of the Phoenix King. The blood curse is also related to the soul. Do you think you can let the Phoenix King purify the crown?"
"It can't be done..." Wayne immediately rejected this method: "The essence of Phoenix King's treatment is to destroy and repair at the same time. If you use sacred fire, Ravenclaw's championship will not be preserved."
"The utensils have no vitality. The Phoenix King's flame will burn the crown into molten iron."
"Is that so?" Nico was slightly disappointed, but quickly cheered up: "Then there is only one way left."
"The venom of the basilisk can destroy Horcruxes, right?" Nico confirmed again. .
"That's right."
This is what Wayne told Nico. He told him all the methods he knew to destroy Horcruxes, hoping to provide him with some ideas.
"Then we can develop a brand new potion." Nico became excited: "Separate the toxins that destroy matter and the soul, so that the crown can be kept intact.
The soul inside cannot be completely destroyed. "
"That's a good idea." Wayne nodded in agreement.
There is no spell or potion specifically for the soul fragments in the Horcrux, so create one.
In the field of potions, Nico's level is not much worse than his alchemy level.
but...
The boy made another even more extreme request...
"Is it possible to extract the soul fragments without damaging them?"
"Just like Tom did, he took the initiative to escape from the Horcrux, but this time it was passive.
"What do you want to do?" Nico was startled by his bold idea.
"Two Dark Lords are enough to give Dumbledore a headache. If you bring up another one, he will have to fight you tooth and nail.
"Little Ancestor, please just calm down for a while."
Nico persuaded him earnestly. He was really afraid that Wayne would have some strange ideas.
The world is already chaotic enough without anyone fanning the flames.
"No way." Wayne smiled and made a random excuse.
"I just want to see if I can get the location of other Horcruxes from this soul fragment."
In fact...if he had the chance, he would really like to see what seven Voldemorts would look like together.
Well, I also want to see if Lao Deng is crazy.
After hearing Wayne's reasons, Nico's expression softened and he said thoughtfully: "It is indeed a way, but it is difficult to do. It is better to destroy it once and for all."
He suddenly thought of something again and said, "I forgot to ask you, does Bledo know about the crown?"
"Of course I don't know." Wayne complained: "I had a hard time asking him to borrow Gryffindor's sword. If he knew that I found the diadem, he might bother me.
"So after I destroy the soul inside, I plan to change the name of Ravenclaw's crown. How about calling it Lawrence's crown?"
"What an unpleasant name..." Nico complained subconsciously, but he quickly grasped the point and looked at the boy strangely:
"You just said...Gryffindor's sword? Dumbledore gave it back to you?"
Wayne then remembered that Newt knew about getting the sword back, but he hadn't told Nico Flamel yet.
At the old man's strong request, he reluctantly took out the sword.
"Be careful and don't break it for me."
"I know, I know." Nico couldn't put it down, playing with the long sword and tutted: "Okay, give me some more basilisk venom, and you can go and accompany Qiu.
Wayne was startled: "Didn't I give you a lot last time and used it all?"
Nico said without raising his head: "This is to help you, and you still need to use my materials. There is no such truth in the world. Remember to save more.'
Wayne: “………………
Feeling distressed, Wayne left two large bottles of basilisk venom behind and walked out of the laboratory with a face of pain.
He usually blackmails others, but when it's his turn to be blackmailed, he realizes how painful it is.
No, I have to make up for it when I go back to school.
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the new year came.
Studying basilisk venom is not something that happens overnight, so Wayne doesn't expect Nico to finish it in just a few days.
There was less than a week left in the vacation, and it was almost time for him and Qiu to leave.
Qiu needs to spend time with his parents, and he also needs to arrange other things before school starts.
At Mrs. Perenal's request, the two stayed for three more days before finally leaving Nico's manor.
Before leaving, Wayne managed to get Gryffindor's sword back.
Wait until he comes next time to study it for Nico.
He and Qiu did not go back to London directly, but went to the other side of Devon - the burrow in the village of Ottery St. Catchpole.
Ginny, the Geminis, and Cedric had invited him several times, and it wouldn't be appropriate to miss him even once.
Mrs. Weasley was delighted to see the two appear.
"I thought you didn't have time to come over. Have you tried on the sweater? How does it feel?"
Wayne unbuttoned his coat, revealing the gray sweater underneath and said with a smile: "The size is just right, but I am growing taller now, so I will bother you to knit ten more pieces next year.
Mrs. Weasley happily nodded in agreement and asked Wayne what kind of style he would like and whether it would be too monotonous to have all the letters of his name.
The twins looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
This is the biggest difference between Wayne and them.
He is so good at pleasing his elders.
When he came as a guest, he even put on a sweater knitted by Jasmine and said unceremoniously that he would like it again next year, which was even more of a sign of a good relationship.
Not boring, just relatable.
If they had learned Wayne's trick, they would probably have received half less beatings since they were little.
After lunch, Ginny originally wanted to take Wayne to find Luna, but Fred brought Cedric back, and George drove his sister away ruthlessly.
"Children, let's have some fun. We have a business worth several hundred gold galleons to discuss."
"Mom!" Ginny shouted unhappily: "George and Fred bullied me again!"
Mrs. Weasley, who was making cakes in the kitchen, heard this and comforted her like a child, "Ginny, if you want to go find Luna, just go by yourself. Cedric came specifically to see Wayne. Why don't you take her away?" suitable."
Ginny stamped her feet angrily and ran out of the Burrow to find Lou.
Mrs. Weasley shook her head helplessly.
Although she also felt sorry for the poor little girl Luna, she really didn't think Wayne and the somewhat crazy Luna had anything in common.
In the twins' room.
"What do you think of our new product?" Fred asked humbly.
"We'll talk about this later." Wayne raised his hand to interrupt him and turned to look at Cedric: "Did you get the chocolate frog card you gave me from Shou En?"
Cedric blurted out: "How do you know!"
Then looking at the young man's half-smiling expression, Cedric realized that he had let something slip, and showed a flattering expression:
"Money has been tight recently. I have to save money to pay you back. Gifts are less important than affection."
"Ronald and I won that card after playing wizard chess for several days."
"Can you beat Ronald?" Wayne looked at Cedric in surprise.
"puff!"
Before Cedric could answer, Fred couldn't help laughing, "He used your tactics to make Ronald depressed."
"That... wizard chess without rules." Cedric waved his hand and said, "" Highlight one as you wish. "
Qiu looked at the people in the room strangely.
She finally understood why Wayne was so bad. She learned her feelings from Cedric and Gemini.
After scorning Cedric for a while, the others got back to the topic.
Fred and George just wanted to hear Wayne's opinion on their invention, and they learned a lot every time they chatted with him.
"Everything is good, but there are areas that need some improvement. Wayne first praised the two of them, and then analyzed:
“The stability of invisible ink is too poor.
It is necessary to control the effective time and divide it into several levels.
"Generally, professors only collect homework the next week, and most students who rush to do homework do so on the weekend, so they can be divided into three, five, seven, and three grades."
"We also want to." Fred looked bitter: "But with our level of potions, we are completely unable to do this."
"I have helped you improve the potion formula. How to make it is your own business."
"Great." George gave a thumbs up: "It has to be you, Wayne. Why don't you kick Snape out and teach us Potions class?"
"I think it's okay too." Cedric smiled stupidly: "We will deduct points from Slytherin every day to see if they can still laugh."
"As a professor, I'd be pissed off by those idiots." Wayne said without thinking.
Hogwarts is not without idiots, and there are quite a few of them.
Sometimes it's really painful to watch them learn magic, such as his two roommates...
So far, Toby can't use the levitation spell well, and Nuo's transformation technique can only barely pass.
What a pair of sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks.
"Continuing with the slug bubble gum, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just too expensive."
"too expensive?"
George asked in confusion: "Ten Knuts for one bubble gum, isn't that expensive?"
"I mean the cost is too high. Just counting the materials alone costs seven knuts, plus the labor and failure rate. You are simply doing charity!"
Wayne looked at the two of them angrily: "If we make the medicine less effective and the duration shorter, won't the cost come down?"
George immediately retorted: "But the customer must be dissatisfied."
"Who said that?" Wayne said with a straight face, "I'm just thinking about my customers."
"The effect of the medicine lasts too long, and it can easily damage the friendship between classmates. I think it would be good to shorten it by half, so that the cost can be reduced to three kats."
"What about the selling price... Let's lower it a little. Nine Nats is good."
Several people looked at each other...
The cost has been reduced by more than half, and the selling price has been reduced... by one knut?
Cedric said blankly: "I suddenly feel that what he said makes sense, what do you think?"
George nodded heavily: "I finally know that your family has such a big business in the Muggle world, and you can speak so considerately about your black heart. You deserve to make money."
Wayne smiled and patted his shoulder: "Do a good job, the Celia store in Diagon Alley will be waiting for you to go to Jingying in the future.
The twins swallowed in unison.
Owning a shop in Diagon Alley is their ultimate dream...
Although the Celia store belongs to Wayne, they also have shares and are considered small owners.
This pie is so tempting.
In the evening, Mr. Weasley came home from get off work, and Mr. and Mrs. Diggory had a meal together, and Wayne took Qiu back to London.
When the old father-in-law saw that his daughter was finally back, his eyes filled with tears.
Without saying a few polite words, Wayne was sent away.
Looking at the sky, Sui En was not ready to go home now.
He urged the zombie guard to contact Grace and received a response soon.
"Senior sister, are you in London now?"
"Yes." Grace's lazy voice came.
"I'm going to help you mend your demons, and I'll discuss something with you by the way."
"Then come quickly, I'm the only one at home" Grace giggled.
Wayne's expression didn't change.
What happened to a person.
He can handle two people!
After asking for the address, he happened to have been there nearby, directly activated his apparation and disappeared in place.
