The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

In a huge workshop and laboratory, the instruments and furniture that were originally arranged in a random order are now placed in various corners, and some instruments are even obviously damaged.

A large amount of crumpled parchment and rubbish were scattered all over the place, and countless alchemy formulas and graffiti were written on the walls, the ground, and even the sophisticated alchemy equipment.

The Kennedy brothers and sisters were lying on two couches slanted in the corner.

They seem to have not washed for a long time, their hair is very messy, and there are many brown stains on their bodies.

What made Link feel annoyed the most was that there were still a large number of wine bottles densely arranged beside the two sofas that had been used up.

"call--"

Link took several deep breaths before barely suppressing the anger in his heart.

He couldn't figure it out.

The experimental workshop was full of money and was handed over to the Kennedy brothers and sisters for no more than a month.

How could it be spoiled like this?

It seems that Link opened the door and brought in the cold wind.

Little Kennedy, who was lying on the sofa with his legs crossed, suddenly groaned, then sat up with difficulty on the sofa, and glanced towards the door.

Kennedy Jr. and Link's angry eyes collided without warning.

The air suddenly froze.

Little Kennedy's dilated pupils stared suddenly, and then quickly dilated.

At the same time, the muscles on his face twitched and gradually twisted into a frightened expression.

"what--"

Kennedy Jr. finally screamed.

"What happened!"

Big Kennedy was so frightened that he jumped up from the other sofa.

After looking around for a while, he was relieved when he found Link standing at the door.

"It's Link.

"

Big Kennedy lay down again while talking.

The coldness in Link's eyes became a little heavier after watching this scene.

With a thought in his mind, the doors and windows that were originally closed opened automatically.

The wind and snow poured into the test workshop in an instant, driving away the warmth and completely waking up the thinly dressed Kennedy brothers and sisters.

They picked up the dirty robes on the ground and put them on indiscriminately. Just as they were about to complain, they heard Link say slowly in an extremely cold tone:

"Is this how you fool around with work?"

Little Kennedy had long since returned to his original shy appearance, shrinking into a corner.

Big Kennedy froze when he heard the words, and finally turned his body to look at Link, forced a smile and said:

"Misunderstanding, boss! We have been working hard all the time! As for these..."

Big Kennedy glanced at the wine bottle on the ground, and said with flickering eyes, "These are all celebrations after successful research!

That's right! That's it!

Our research made a breakthrough last night!

So let's celebrate! "

"Oh, really?" Link said with a blank expression, "Then what exactly did you research?"

As soon as Link finished speaking, Big Kennedy couldn't wait to speak.

Unexpectedly, Link went on to say:

"Don't try to fool me with specious and complicated theories, don't forget, you two are not the only alchemists serving the Foley family.

Honestly I'm really disappointed in you guys.

If you can't come up with some results this time,

I am afraid that your work tasks and work locations will be changed.

Hmm... What do you think about going to Black Africa to expand the alchemy market there? "

Hearing this, Big Kennedy's expression finally became frightened.

Link was never much of a philanthropist.

As early as when he officially started investing in the Kennedy brothers and sisters and this workshop laboratory, he had already signed a 20-year employment contract and a lifetime non-employment agreement with the Kennedy brothers and sisters.

Therefore, Big Kennedy knew very well that if Link said he wanted to throw them to black Africa, then they would definitely not be able to go to other places after graduation.

Just fantasizing about the terrifying shamans, witch doctors, and cannibals in Black Africa, Big Kennedy couldn't help shivering.

The chill that Link gave him was even more penetrating than the wind and snow outside.

Driven by this strong pressure, he almost scrambled towards the workbench, lifted the black cloth covering it, and stuffed the contents into Link's hands.

Link's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

What he was holding in his hand at the moment was a thing about 2 meters long and shaped like a long sword.

The difference between it and a real long sword is that its blade is entirely composed of a hollow 'steel pipe'.

And on the dark surface of the 'steel pipe', densely packed ancient runes were engraved on it.

As for its hilt, it is a huge mass of iron composed of various precision instruments.

Because there is no case, Link can clearly see the densely fitted gears and a large number of cables.

On the whole, this 'sword' is quite steampunk in Link's impression.

Big Kennedy kept moving. He reached out and fiddled with the sword hilt instrument for a while, then took out a huge vest, connected it to the wires in the instrument, and put it on Link.

"Boss, try pressing the trigger on the handle!"

Big Kennedy said excitedly while helping Link turn around and aim at an alchemy puppet in the corner not far away.

After some operations, Link's face that was driven by Occlumency also rarely started to twitch.

Take such a strange device that is obviously a trial work and ask the boss to test it himself.

This kind of person should have been fired long ago in an ordinary company or organization, and even exiled to black Africa.

But looking at Big Kennedy's fiery eyes full of expectation, Link finally pulled the trigger with a cold expression.

next moment.

Link only felt a sudden change in the originally stable magic power in his body.

They began to become more and more active, and then they were pulled out along the vest that Link was wearing, and finally poured into the 'strange sword' in Link's hand through the dense wires.

Hum——

The gears in the hilt of the 'Strange Sword' began to rotate rapidly, and the ancient rune carved on the hollow steel pipe also began to flash a faint blue magical aura.

In the field of vision of Link's magic power perception, the magic power extracted from Link's body is being continuously recompressed and shaped in the hilt of the sword at this moment, and finally poured into the hollow steel pipe for the final acceleration process...

Finally, a group of orange-red fireballs gushed out from the hollow steel pipe, hit the alchemy doll not far away, and exploded into a sea of ​​flames.

Seeing the puppet and the entire wall slowly becoming black under the cover of the sea of ​​fire, Kennedy jumped excitedly and said:

"Oh!~ You really deserve to be the boss! You can have such great power!"

Big Kennedy's praise was not a deliberate pander to avoid being sent to black Africa, but sincere.

This point can be seen very clearly by using Legilimency and chanting mantras.

But at this moment, Link couldn't laugh.

He looked at Big Kennedy silently, until the excited smile on Big Kennedy's face was gradually stiffened, then raised the still hot 'strange sword' in his hand and said:

"This kind of power is at most the level of an ordinary adult wizard.

But in order to cast the flaming curse just now, this weird machine has drawn nearly one-tenth of the magic power from my body.

Do you know how many magic spells of that strength can be fired with that tenth of the magic power? "

Big Kennedy scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard the words:

"Boss, this is still the first work after all, it's normal for the energy conversion rate to be lower, and we will definitely improve it in the future!"

Link shook his head.

His interpretation of Big Kennedy didn't look good.

Strictly speaking, this is actually a large special wand.

It's just that the real wand uses the ultra-high conductivity material of the wand core and the wand body to assist the wizard in casting spells.

During the period, the wizard also needs to control the magic power independently, so as to cast the spell.

And the device made by the Kennedy brothers and sisters simply omitted the last step that the wizard needs to do.

In other words, the wizard using this device is purely a magic battery.

You only need to input the magic power into the instrument, and then the instrument will run the magic power circuit according to the pre-established program to form a fixed spell.

Link has to admit that the Kennedy brothers and sisters are really talented to have such an idea and make it into a real thing.

If all goes well, this set of instruments can directly bridge the gap between ordinary wizards and elite combat wizards like Aurors and Strikers.

Because they have mastered the skill of silent spellcasting through this set of equipment for no reason, and it is the kind with a super high rate of fire.

But the problem is that the energy conversion rate of this experimental work can no longer be described with such shallow words as 'low'.

With such a huge magic power in Link's body, it can only provide this instrument to fire ten not-so-powerful spells. The effect of ordinary wizards' use can be imagined.

Not only that.

Although Link doesn't know much about alchemy as a potion master, he can also recognize that the hollow steel pipe on the 'Strange Sword' is entirely made of the ultra-rare material of mithril-obsidian alloy.

But even with such expensive consumables, the firing of the Flaming Curse just now still made the entire hollow steel pipe hot and red.

This means that this thing is not only extremely expensive to manufacture, but also has a pitifully low firing rate.

The difficulty of solving these two problems is estimated to be more difficult than making this groundbreaking prototype.

Link untied this set of equipment and said:

"How are you going to optimize it? Is this hollow tube filled with a 'core' like a normal wand?"

"You can actually see that this is a reference to the structure of the wand?" Big Kennedy was obviously taken aback by Link's erudition, but turned his head and said a little disappointed, "This is indeed a route that can be tried, but such a The cost is just too high.”

‘You also know the cost is too high? '

Link rolled his eyes and complained in his heart.

But at this time, Little Kennedy, who had been shy and silent under the sofa, suddenly popped up and said softly:

"We now want to try to optimize the magic power circuit composed of ancient runes. If it goes well, as long as the magic power circuit is good enough, not only the magic power conversion rate can be improved, but the overall manufacturing cost can also be reduced."

Hearing this, Link took a deep look at Little Kennedy, and immediately shrank his head back to the shy little girl.

The opponent's idea of ​​optimizing the magic circuit is indeed correct.

But just like Link thought before, it was too difficult to do so.

This is literally creating a new spell out of thin air!

And it's at the level of the Patronus Curse and Fierce Fire Curse!

But it’s good for the Kennedy brothers and sisters to have such a dream after all, and Link feels that he should try to support them as much as possible.

Thinking of this, the dark clouds on Link's face gradually dissipated. He pointed to the instrument on the ground with a smile and said to Big Kennedy:

"Yes, it seems that you are indeed not lazy. But how did you come up with such an idea?"

As soon as he talked about this big Kennedy, he became excited again.

He grabbed Link's arm and said:

"The source of our creativity is you, the boss!"

Link tilted his head in confusion upon hearing this.

"To be precise, you let us learn more about Muggle technology, which gave us a lot of new ideas!"

Big Kennedy ran to the other side of the workshop laboratory while talking, and suddenly opened a huge curtain.

As the curtain fell to the ground, what appeared in front of Link was a container.

It was painted red as a whole, and a huge silver-white ribbon was wrapped around it, just like an enlarged version of a Christmas gift box.

It's just that what's in this 'gift box' is not a regular gift like flowers or toys, but boxes of guns and ammunition that are neatly stacked!

"Boss, take a look!"

Big Kennedy picked up an AK-47, put it into the magazine very skillfully, and fired at the alchemy doll that had just been bombarded by the flame curse, "Isn't this much better than a magic wand?"

Link was overwhelmed by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help opening his mouth wide.

He had indeed given instructions to the Kennedy brothers and sisters to learn more about Muggle technology, but he never expected that the Kennedy brothers and sisters had just gone out for a run and got him back the AK-47.

The key is how did they get back so much?

Sending these things to Black Africa is enough for the small countries there to fight a small war, right?

Is the Muggle society so lax in the control of arms?

Suddenly, a symbol engraved in his DNA suddenly flashed out of his mind.

"You went to Maoxiong Country?"

Link said quickly.

Hearing that Big Kennedy was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:

"That's right, that place just separated a few years ago, and life is very hard. We couldn't see it anymore, so we used magic to move some supplies to them."

He pointed to the container (Christmas gift box version) behind him and said, "In the end, they sent us these things back as Christmas presents."

Hearing this, Link nodded.

If that's the case then it all makes sense.

In this period, Mao Xiong can even dismantle the assembly line for making tanks and sell them. It is really trivial to sell a container of AK.
