- Chapter 415 - Ilari: We will mass-produce puppets!
Early in the morning, Vader and others were ready to go out – cloaks, scarves, hats, gloves, and non-slip dragon leather boots.
“Seriously, I feel like a bear right now.”
Michael pretended to be clumsy and took two steps, making a sound of “ouch”.
Harry laughed so hard: “Haha… I think you are more like a penguin!”
“Then do you know that among penguins, it is the male penguin that hatches the eggs?” Michael screamed strangely: “Try my egg-hatching power, baby Harry!”
He hit him like a ball, forcing Harry to the ground, unable to get up, and he slapped the floor and shouted for help.
Lu Ping opened the door and came in: “Let’s go, the car I ordered has arrived.”
“Come here!”
Vader waved his wand, lifted the two people flopping on the ground, and then put the wand into his pocket.
The two people squeezed out of the narrow door while pushing each other, as childish as two kindergarten children.
Wade walked out of the door and glanced at the dark and gloomy sky outside. The clouds were thick and it seemed like it was going to snow.
It’s been hard to get a nice clear day since the Dementors have been floating around the skies over Britain all day.
“Today’s weather is not very good.” Vader frowned and said, “Actually, we’d better go to Diagon Alley in two days… Today is the day when communication headsets are on sale, so there must be a lot of people in that place.”
“But you are no ordinary tourist, Wade.” Michael said with a smile: “You have to go, and you have to speak in public, remember?”
Wade couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
——It is for this reason that he doesn’t want to go there even more.
Wade remembered what Professor Murray had said in his letter to persuade him——
[Dear Vader, now your name is no longer a secret among some groups. I have received news more than once that some people intend to kidnap you to obtain the wealth and technology you have mastered, and some people want to use truth. Potion or love potion…]
[Continuing to hide is no longer helpful. On the contrary, your identity as a “genius alchemy boy” will be more conducive to your safety…]
So this time, Marchionne printed Vader’s name in the newspaper with great fanfare, and also spent money to buy a page dedicated to introducing Vader’s alchemy works in recent years, and all kinds of complimentary words were free of charge. The ground was piled on top of him.
It was too ostentatious… Just thinking that someone would come to watch him like he was watching Harry, made Wade feel uncomfortable all over.
But he knew that this was a process that he had to go through, and he could only force himself to face it.
“Have you prepared your speech?”
Lupine lowered his head and asked as he got into the car.
“Of course.” Wade said: “Technology geek is a very confusing persona, right?”
Lupine didn’t understand a little, but he knew that Vader had his own plan, so he sat down in the passenger seat with confidence.
This was an ordinary Muggle taxi, and the driver was just an ordinary person, so after the few people got on the bus, they stopped talking about magic and started talking about the things they wanted to buy.
“I want to buy a book for Hermione…or a quill, a box of toffees for Ron, and for Neville…how about a pack of rare seeds?” Harry asked, thinking about it.
“Not bad!” Michael held a notepad in his hand and wrote the name of the person he wanted to give a gift to for several pages: “We can buy different seeds and give them to Theo… Ryan, I I’m going to give him a moon model, but don’t give me the same one.”
“That won’t happen.” Wade said, “When I get back, I’m going to go to Harrods department store. There are good celestial models there… and I can also go to a nearby bookstore to buy a few books.”
“I’ll go too! I also want to see… I mean, what interesting things are sold in that department store, and maybe I can buy some new games! Harry, what do you think?” Michael was very excited. said with interest.
“Of course… uh…”
Harry touched his pocket and remembered that he only had wizarding coins.
“But before that, I might have to go to Guling… to the bank.”
“Don’t forget to buy a present for your aunt and uncle, Harry,” Lupine said suddenly.
“What?” Harry suddenly showed a reluctant expression: “For them, the best gift is to see me unlucky.”
Lupine sighed: “Although I don’t like that family either, they raised you, Harry, and it’s appropriate to give each other gifts.”
“All right……”
Harry muttered, then said to his friends: “I’m going to buy a box of toothpicks – they gave me one last year, and I’m not that stingy… I’ll give you a box!”
“What did you say? A toothpick?!” Michael was shocked: “Can this also be a Christmas gift?”
“Who says it isn’t?” Harry said mockingly.
…
The car soon arrived at Charing Cross Road, and several people got out of the car together. After the car drove away, they stepped on the snow on the road and walked towards the Leaky Cauldron pub.
This dark and dirty little bar was actually packed with people, and there were chatter everywhere. The bar owner Tom was so busy that he was not distracted by the passers-by passing by his bar.
Arriving in the small courtyard behind the bar, Lupine tapped the bricks on the wall with his wand, and the arched doorway leading to Diagon Alley immediately appeared.
After crossing the doorway, Wade saw Marchionne at a glance. He was dressed like a bear and pacing back and forth in front of the doorway.
Hearing the noise, Marchionne immediately turned his head and began to see what seemed to be several Muggle children. He looked away in disappointment.
Then he saw Lupin, was stunned for a moment, turned his head suddenly, and finally recognized Wade’s eyes from the narrow gap between the scarf and the hat.
“Oh my God! Wade, you are finally here!”
Marchione took a step forward, stretched out his hand and grabbed Wade’s arm, and said urgently: “The sales meeting will start soon, you hurry up and follow me!”
“I won’t be late, there are still twenty minutes.” Wade said calmly.
“——There are only twenty minutes! And I can’t let you go on stage like this.”
Marchione said like a machine gun:
“Appropriate clothes are the battle robes in the mall! You are dressed luxuriously enough, and everyone will look at you with a high eye——Alas, I knew you must not be prepared, and you came here casually——Remus, I will take you away!”
Lupin didn’t even have a chance to interrupt, and saw Marchione pulling Wade away from the spot.
There was a loud “pop”. Before Wade could stand still, Marchionne pointed at him and said loudly: “Quick! In fifteen minutes, I want to see a brand new Wade Grey!”
Three or four people in strange clothes, who were indistinguishable between men and women, surrounded him, holding measuring tapes, scissors and sparkling gem pendants in their hands.
“Wait!” Wade immediately took a step back, blocking those people with a defensive gesture, and said: “I don’t want to dress like a peacock.”
“Don’t worry, I know what style suits you!” Marchionne said confidently.
In fact, after Wade took off his cloak, there was nothing inappropriate about his clothes inside. The black wizard robe with blue trim would not look out of place whether he was in class or attending the future Triwizard Tournament ball.
But in Marchionne’s opinion, it looked too ordinary, and he couldn’t be found even if he was stuffed into the crowd.
So he gave an order, and three stylists surrounded him and started, and Wade swallowed nervously.
The pointed wizard hat is inlaid with gems, and the gold thread is used to weave complex and mysterious patterns; the robe has the same gold pattern, and in addition to gems, there are some small and exquisite magic items hanging on the belt, some of which are slowly rotating, some are emitting glimmers, and some are ticking.
In addition, gloves, pocket watches, boots, pendants… Every thing condenses the taste of money and mystery, and the mystery and gorgeousness are integrated into one, dazzling and shining.
“A walking aesthetic model, extraordinary temperament and demeanor! Three-dimensional! Perfect! Just right! Oh my God, I am going to fall for you, please accept my praise and my love…”
The mirror in front of him spoke eloquently and endlessly, and it didn’t stop for a full five minutes, making Wade wonder if it had gone crazy.
Professor Murray came in just in time to hear the second half. He looked up and down for a while, nodded and smiled: “Well, it fits very well.”
Ved said helplessly: “Professor, I don’t know how to walk.”
Professor Murray smiled and said: “If you bring your cloak, you don’t need these extra embellishments.”
Please…you…collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠbookⅠbar (Six\Nine\book\bar!)
Thinking of the wire cloak, Vader said with a headache: “That guy may want to roll away all the gems here.”
That guy doesn’t know what’s wrong with him. He likes glittering things like the legendary dragon. Vader tried to make its appearance more ordinary several times, but the cloak was unwilling.
This kind of alchemical work will slowly wear away the spells cast on it when it resists it wholeheartedly, so Vader simply let it go.
An employee of the magic workshop ran in and shouted: “Boss, time is almost up.”
“Well.” Marchionne finally checked the clothes of several people and said: “Let’s go… Vader, don’t forget-this is also a battlefield!”
Ved nodded seriously.
…
Harry and Michael followed Lupin and got into the meeting place.
It seemed that there were already one or two hundred people sitting in the hall, all of them were gorgeously dressed and impressive, and there were even many foreign wizards. A few people dressed simply blended in, just like ugly ducklings among swans.
“Look, Malfoy!” Michael poked Harry’s arm.
At a table near the front, the Malfoy family was sitting.
Their light golden hair and pale skin seemed to glow under the light. At the same table was the Minister of Magic Fudge, who was talking to Mr. Malfoy with a smile on his face.
Needless to say, it must be the money power of the Malfoy family that conquered the minister.
Harry thought so in his heart, and then he heard someone next to him say: “Il y a longtemps que je ne t’ai vu, mon cher ami.”
The strange pronunciation made Harry couldn’t help but look a few more times, and saw the two tall wizards shaking hands enthusiastically.
“What are they talking about?” He whispered to Michael.
“It seems to be French.” Michael didn’t quite understand, he didn’t care much, took a grape from the table and put it in his mouth.
“Remus, aren’t communication headsets also on sale in other countries?” Harry asked in confusion: “Why are there so many foreign wizards coming to Britain?”
“Probably because there is only a sales conference in Britain.” Lupin said.
“So…” Harry vaguely understood: “Are these people here to see Wade?”
He suddenly felt a very unreal feeling, as if he suddenly found that his friend who did homework with him every day was actually standing in another world.
This feeling was even more vivid when the three of them appeared together – the gemstones shone brightly, and the people on the stage looked noble and handsome, like a flowing painting.
Marchionne introduces the impressive achievements of Aslan Workshop in recent years… Terence Murray introduces the students who make him proud…
Then came Wade, who introduced the functions, design ideas, and future development prospects of communication headsets…
The young wizard spoke fluently and engagingly, transforming difficult alchemy into easy-to-understand language, vividly allowing everyone to understand what kind of invention this was;
When he talked about specific alchemical techniques, he spoke in a profound and concise manner, with plentiful references and strict logic. Some alchemists nodded frequently.
After Wade finished speaking, there was a brief pause, and warm applause erupted in the venue.
Draco Malfoy looked around, applauded hesitantly to avoid looking stupid, and then asked his mother in a low voice:
“Mom, what did he mean? I almost thought he was talking in secret… It sounds like English, but it doesn’t feel like…”
Narcissa Malfoy smiled and said: “The content of alchemy is a tower that only professionals can understand.”
“Oh…” Draco Malfoy responded in confusion, and then asked: “Can you all understand?”
Narcissa Malfoy still kept smiling: “I’m not an alchemist.”
Draco wanted to say something else, but his father whispered: “Shut up, Draco.”
After listening to the speech, Harry was not entangled. He tolerated his ignorance of alchemy and was simply happy that his friend successfully completed the speech.
Wade’s words were like precision machinery. Although most people present could not understand them, it did not prevent them from experiencing the professionalism and depth, and the applause seemed warm and sincere.
There were some vague rumors before – such as Terrence Murray using his works to pave the way for students, such as Wade Gray being actually Murray’s illegitimate son, etc. – all disappeared in the face of real strength.
In the corner diagonally across from Harry, there were several wizards dressed in exotic costumes. One of them, a man with dark circles under his eyes comparable to those of a panda, was trembling with excitement.
“Are you sick?” Baird asked warily.
“I understand, I seem to understand!” Ilari said excitedly: “It turns out that the spell is so embedded! Ah… I finally saw the light of the lighthouse! I caught the most important note! I got my “Venus!”
Baird frowned and looked at him, as if he was ready to jump up at any moment and subdue this crazy man.
Ilari grabbed his hand suddenly and said, “Can you understand, Major, I finally know how to make that kind of golem!”
“Really?” Baird was stunned and asked in surprise and surprise.
“Of course, it’s still not easy to make new golems, but there is no problem in making replicas… Hahahaha… It turns out to be so simple, I finally understand! Soon we will be able to mass-produce golems, Major! This world will Fall into the control of the organization!”
Abigail, who was sitting next to her, remained silent and just used magic to block the sounds near this table. She raised her head and glanced doubtfully at Wade who was walking off the stage.
Both she and Baird used Polyjuice Potion to hide their true appearance, but for some reason, Abigail felt that Wade glanced here several times during the speech just now…
——Is it an illusion?
she thought uncertainly.
