Chapter 358 Helga's Wallet Magic: Christmas Sale (Two in One)

"It's done." After stuffing the compressed domain into the crystal, Rice showed a hint of joy.

At this time, the crystal was already filled with colorless liquid.

Although it was a transparent colorless liquid, gently shaking the amethyst, the liquid inside swayed slightly, which could make people feel a little uneasy and fearful, and subconsciously wanted to stay away from this amethyst. This is the instinct of people to seek benefits and avoid harm.

However, although the cut domain was put into the amethyst, the reason why this part of the domain could still stay in the crystal honestly was because Rice had been suppressing it. Without Rice's control, the domain would crush the amethyst into powder in less than a second, and then expand at an astonishing speed.

Rice wanted to add a seal to the crystal to isolate it from the outside world and keep the internal domain in a stable state, but after thinking it over again and again, he gave up this idea.

Because he realized that the essence of this crystal was a teaching aid, not an alchemical prop that could be passed down as a heirloom at the bottom of the box.

If a very close friend asks him for a treasure that can protect his house, then Rice will definitely cast a sealing magic outside to turn this crystal into a one-time killer that can expand its domain once triggered.

But this thing is for Daphne and Astoria to learn... Why bother adding more? Wouldn't it be better to spend some energy to control the domain in the crystal? After thinking it through, Rice concocted another identical yellow teardrop-shaped crystal and gave one to Daphne and Astoria.

After making the crystal pendants, Rice estimated the time and found that Christmas was coming, so he could use them as Christmas gifts. It was really energy-consuming to think about what Christmas gifts to give to the younger generation every year...

Thinking of this, Rice suddenly realized a problem: Helga accepted an apprentice, should I give her another gift this year? !

Rice was a little distressed, but then he realized that Cedric didn't know his identity, so did he not need to give him a gift?

...

With the approach of Christmas, the entire British magic world became visibly lazy.

Professors at Hogwarts began to reserve more "free time" in class, and officials at the Ministry of Magic also began to slack off from top to bottom. Except for the Department of International Magical Cooperation, the entire Ministry of Magic became lazy.

"Minos, are the Christmas gifts for the members ready?" The newly appointed Minister of Magic Bones rubbed her swollen temples. She needed to give some benefits to consolidate her position as the Minister of Magic. As the Minister of Magic elected by the Greengrass family, she had sufficient funds and could afford some benefits.

"Ready." Bones' secretary responded, and took out the quotation list for the holiday gifts and handed it to Minister Bones.

Bones glanced at the gifts on the list that were obviously higher than the market price, raised his eyebrows, but didn't say anything-the new supplier was from the Malfoy family, so it was normal for the gift list to have a premium.

"It's okay if it's a little expensive, the key is that there should be no problems with the quality."

"We will check it when we receive it."

Bones nodded.

Minos took out another document and handed it to his immediate superior.

"This is a letter from Professor White of Hogwarts. She said that the doll has been made and will be sent to the Ministry of Magic tomorrow for us to inspect." Minos's expression was a little strange: "Professor White said that the doll will come alone. If the Ministry has the intention to order it after seeing it, please send her an owl email to place an order. She will ship it in the order of the order-she accepts installments."

Obviously, she came to sell things, but she didn't even show up in person. Professor White was quite confident.

Bones raised his eyebrows: Professor White is sure that the Ministry of Magic will place an order? And judging from her tone, she also thinks that the doll will be very popular, and the Ministry of Magic had better place an order before those pure-blood families?

In Bones' mind, Smith White is not the kind of boastful liar, so she is really confident in her doll. Now she is looking forward to what will happen tomorrow.

"Send invitations to those prominent guys, tell them that they can come and witness Professor White's fighting puppet tomorrow." Bones gave the order.

After that, she processed more than a dozen documents and held several meetings with important officials of the Ministry of Magic, including Henry Greengrass, Director of the National Magical Cooperation Department.

Unlike the former Minister Fudge, Bones is a practical man who wants to fill his daily schedule. When today's schedule is over, it is completely dark.

Bones stretched and exhaled: Minister of Magic is not an easy job, but she likes it.

The news that Professor White of Hogwarts will send his automatic fighting puppet to the Ministry of Magic spread throughout the Ministry of Magic before get off work, from the directors of various departments to the newly employed low-level employees.

So the next day, almost everyone in the Ministry of Magic got up early and rushed to the Ministry of Magic early, just to get first-hand information about the automatic puppet.

At nine o'clock in the morning, a puppet wearing a plain black wizard robe, a pointed wizard hat, a smooth face and no facial features appeared in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic. The Hogwarts emblem on the front of its wizard robe revealed its origin: this was Professor White's automatic combat puppet.

Its arrival caught the attention of everyone in the hall, and at the first sight of it, there was a buzz in the hall.

The wizards began to comment on the doll one after another, expressing their own opinions, some were positive, and some were negative. No one noticed that two figures appeared behind the doll.

Delis and Kingsley looked at each other and nodded - these two people received instructions from Minister Bones yesterday to sneak attack the puppet when it arrives tomorrow.

If he can survive the attack of two senior Aurors, then Professor White's doll will definitely sell well.

"Expelliarmus!"

"Split into pieces!"

The two spells were shot at the doll at the same time. The incident happened so suddenly that most of the people present did not react, but the puppet quickly turned around and nimbly dodged the spells of Delis and Kingsley. At the same time, he raised his hand towards Delis who was standing on the left, and In a second, Delis flew backwards, hit a fireplace hard, and fainted on the spot.

Kingsley:? ? ?

What the hell is this? Gravity magic? Magnetic field rotation? Kingsley had never seen this weird attack method before.

This can't be blamed on him. Not many people in the modern magic world have seen this simple attack method from thousands of years ago, a simple magic shock wave.

Seeing the puppet "looking" at him, Kingsley was shocked and immediately used an iron armor spell on himself.

The puppet did not continue to use the attack method just now, because the energy carried by the magic shock wave module only allowed it to attack once. If it wanted to continue attacking, it needed to change its attack method.

[Under attack, counterattack mode activated]

[Agreement passed, action one, execution]

A neutral voice with no emotional fluctuations sounded from the doll's head.

The next moment, a three-foot-long sword blade emerged from the palm of the puppet's left hand, and its right arm exploded instantly, forming a half-human-sized shield.

call--

The blade of the sword ignited with blazing fire.

Kingsley's eyes narrowed: You really don't think of me as a wizard? How dare you fight me in close combat——

His mind was spinning, and he was about to use a powerful and heavy spell to hit the puppet in front of him, but the next second the puppet appeared in front of him.

Apparition? ! How can this be--

Kingsley was horrified.

Although he knows this kind of advanced magic, in a battle that requires a high degree of concentration, how can ordinary wizards have the spare time to perform apparation?

Also, why can a doll without consciousness or soul be able to use the method of apparation? !

However, Kingsley was also experienced in many battles. Although he was surprised, he did not stop moving his hands and directly moved the transparent magic shield summoned by the Iron Armor Curse in front of him.

boom!

There was a loud bell-like sound in the hall, which made the onlookers' ears ring.

When Kingsley and Delis were fighting against the puppets, the onlookers had already stepped aside in a tacit understanding and did not want to interfere with the puppets' performance. Seeing how fierce the fight between the two sides was at this time, they all shrank into the corner of the hall to avoid being harmed by Chi Yu.

Kingsley took a few steps back. The iron armor spell he used before had been broken. There was also a huge crack on the chest of his robe, and a few flames ignited in the crack.

If the Iron Armor Curse hadn't been used in advance, the knife just now would have been enough to disembowel him.

The puppet did not hold back, but continued to close the distance, trying to strike Kingsley again.

As an experienced Auror, Kingsley certainly couldn't let people get his way. He fought and retreated, using all his strength to block its advance.

Seeing that he had been unable to close the distance between him and Kingsley, the puppet directly raised the blade of his sword and gave it a false strike.

The flames attached to the blade came out directly from the sword, forming a two-foot-long flame shock wave.

Kingsley:? !

Caught off guard, he was directly hit by the fire blade, and his upper body burned directly.

"All petrified!" A petrifying curse flew from the side.

Delis, who had just been knocked unconscious, had regained consciousness, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Kingsley being beaten by a puppet. As a colleague sitting in an office, he really couldn't lie on the floor and pretend to be dead.

Smith White's slogan for the puppet had angered the Aurors, and they had already made up their minds to teach the puppet a lesson, letting everyone know that being an Auror was not that easy. Just a puppet, just want to stand up to the rigorously trained Aurors? You're probably not kidding!

As a result, the two Aurors who were ready to show off their skills just pulled a big one. One was defeated at the beginning, and the other was beaten from beginning to end, which directly proves that Aurors are worse than dolls.

Thinking of the consequences of this battle, Delis's blood boiled. He endured the pain and stood up from the ground to help Kingsley.

Delis's sneak attack had no effect. The doll used its own armor spell to deflect his petrification spell, and also diverted the target of the attack.

After locking on Delis, the sound came from the doll's head again——

[The threat increases, the Action 2 agreement is passed and implementation begins]

Delis wanted to show off his skills, but Kingsley, who was still smoking, rushed to his side. With his left hand, he sprinkled a handful of Floo powder into the fire in the fireplace beside him, and with his right hand, he directly grabbed Delis by the collar. Rushed into the green flames.

At the same time, he yelled "Diagon Alley", and green flames engulfed the two figures, taking them away from the Ministry of Magic hall.

Unlike Dawlish who fainted, Kingsley was beaten by the puppet for three minutes, and he didn't want to continue fighting for even a second.

The puppet was ridiculously strong, and it didn't hold back at all just because they were Aurors of the Ministry of Magic. After hearing that it decided to activate "Action Protocol 2", Kingsley felt that if he continued to fight, someone would definitely die, so he ran away.

Dawlish, who was caught by Kingsley, felt a little dissatisfied: If you and I go together, that puppet may not be our opponent. If I run away now, how will I face my colleagues in the Ministry of Magic in the future? Then he saw a powerful spell coming towards him.

The spell easily turned the fireplace into powder, and even rushed into the floo network, as if it would not stop until Dawlish was chopped into meat paste. Fortunately, the floo network had been activated, taking the two of them to fly towards Diagon Alley, which saved Dawlish's life - he could even feel the dust raised by the spell hitting his face!

When he fell on his back and looked at the familiar ceiling of the Leaky Cauldron above his head, he thanked Kingsley from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Kingsley."

After beating the two senior Aurors and forcing them to flee, the puppet put away its palm sword and arm shield and stood in place to resume standby mode. After a one-sided battle, its robes were not dirty.

Looking at the calm puppet, the wizards watching could not help but whisper.

"How many Aurors do you think this puppet can fight?" "Three or five is no problem."

"I don't think the one in that office can handle it!" "Keep your voice down, Scrimgeour is across the street..."

"I wonder how much it costs and how is the quality?"

"Ms. White said it's under warranty, but the price is definitely not friendly. You won't be able to afford it in your lifetime."

"What a joke, I can save up 600 or 700 Galleons even if I don't eat or drink for a year, and I can buy one home in 20 years at most!"

The puppet suddenly tilted its head and looked at the crowd of onlookers, frightening the wizards, fearing that it would "execute" them.

[Ms. White asked me to tell you a message. It's Christmas now, and the automatic combat puppets and upgraded accessories are sold at 20% off, and the original price will be restored after the holiday. Hurry up and ship in the order of orders.]

Helga drove the puppet to launch a magical wallet magic on the officials of the Ministry of Magic. It seemed that with just a snap of the fingers, everyone's wallets were deflated and the vault became empty.

After thinking about it, I decided to post a two-in-one chapter~

Good night everyone, there will definitely be an update on Saturday.
