Chapter 435: Spread Across the Magical World

Various strange instruments in the office clicked and crackled, and Wizard Sean could only listen to their sounds.

Professor Terra cast some spell that covered his eyes.

This way, he could not see the alchemy professor’s eyes, yet it somehow revived his spirits.

“Don’t make eye contact with anyone for now, my dear student…”

“But it’s always been this way… fumbling in blindness, forging ahead in ignorance—that is the alchemist’s calling.”

“The magic we engage with will surpass all other magic; the knowledge we preserve will dwarf all other knowledge, for we confront the most weighty part of the magical realm.”

“Have I ever told you the story of how Waggadu was overturned by a paper airplane?”

Professor Terra spoke calmly.

“No, Professor.”

Wizard Sean was curious.

Paper airplane? Seven-second paper airplane?

He had seen them darting through space to deliver messages at lightning speed, but toppling an entire school? That seemed wildly excessive.

“It was a fascinating story. I was expelled from Waggadu for half a year; had my teacher not intervened desperately, I’d have ended up in prison.”

“That is the purpose of a teacher, child.”

Professor Terra’s voice sounded distant.

“To remove hazards for students?”

Wizard Sean asked.

“Why would you think that? Hazards? No—it’s about preserving the precious seeds of the alchemical world.”

“In alchemy, most wizards are just fillers; only three percent are decent.”

“And among those three percent, only one in ten has a chance to change the magical world.”

“Thus, these rare individuals gain the opportunity to look up to true alchemical masters.”

“Like me. And like you.”

Wizard Sean could not see Professor Terra’s eyes, but he imagined they were filled with mockery and ambition.

“Toppling a leaning school isn’t hard. Intimidating or persuading the professors isn’t hard either.”

“What’s valuable is creating a spell capable of overturning an entire castle.”

“Now, can you tell me what part you added to the Fairy Cookie to make it produce this effect?”

Professor Terra leaned closer.

“Partial animal transformation is feasible. I adjusted certain magical circuits and redesigned the ritual.”

“Thus, a wizard can transform into a part of a magical creature.”

“But the difficulty lies in the fact that a wizard’s magic does not align with that of magical creatures, making it impossible to control those body parts freely.”

“Only those whose souls resonate with the magical creature can master them.”

Wizard Sean frowned—this had troubled him for a long time.

The Fairy Cookie seemed to offer wizards two choices:

Use the magic of magical creatures. Use the magic of wizards.

But in truth, these should be connected by “or,” not “and”—they cannot be used together.

“A castle isn’t built in a day. You’ve already made historic breakthroughs.”

Professor Terra seemed to nod.

“Did you cast protective magic on me?”

Wizard Sean asked suddenly.

Otherwise, there was no way the professor arrived so quickly.

All the instruments in the alchemy office fell silent.

“I merely placed a few small alchemical devices. You must learn to expect them, my dear student.”

“Besides, it’s not just me…”

Wizard Sean still couldn’t see the professor’s face, but the tone carried unmistakable amusement.

“Very well. Let’s talk: are you ready to spread Fairy Workshop across the entire magical world?”

Professor Terra’s tone turned serious.

“What did you say?”

Wizard Sean was baffled.

“My dear student, you are about to transform the entire magical world’s communication system—and you don’t even realize it?”

Professor Terra stood before Wizard Sean, one hand resting on an ancient magical phonograph.

“Do you remember what I said? Only the rarest of alchemists are worthy of defining this world. Now I say: you will define wizarding communication. The Magic Hand Mirror will revolutionize the entire field.”

Professor Terra stood by the window, beyond which snow-capped mountains were melting.

“But Professor, the materials for the Magic Hand Mirror are still expensive, and…”

Wizard Sean’s thoughts whirled.

He knew perfectly well the Magic Hand Mirror could transform wizarding communication.

Currently, wizards mostly use fireplaces or owls to communicate.

A few, like the Ministry, use paper airplanes.

But not every wizarding household is connected to the Floo Network; fireplaces, being immovable, are like landlines.

And Wizard Sean knew exactly how vast the difference was between landlines and mobile phones.

—Mobile phones would inevitably replace most landlines.

Why do wizards still use owls when they have fireplaces?

First, fireplaces cannot directly transmit objects. Second, they’re inconvenient.

That’s why owls serve as messengers—they’re far more convenient, yet still have many flaws.

For example: slow delivery, frequent errors, possible interception…

Now, here is a magical device that enables real-time communication, instant response, and rapid transmission of critical information in emergencies—would wizards not be drawn to it?

Wizard Sean believed the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters would buy it out in a flash.

In the original story, Voldemort once fabricated false intelligence, and the impatient Harry paid the price for Gryffindor’s impulsive nature.

This further highlights the value of “rapid transmission of critical information in emergencies.”

“Expensive? Nothing in this world is absolutely expensive or cheap—only whether its value matches the cost.”

A faint smile curved Professor Terra’s lips as he waved his hand lightly.

Wizard Sean could see again.

At the same time, a cold object landed in his hand.

He looked at the Magic Hand Mirror the professor had given him—it seemed slightly modified again.

“Based on your original draft, I found some material suppliers. They’re eager to offer us the lowest purchase prices.”

Professor Terra’s narrow eyes blinked.

Wizard Sean instantly understood—the professor’s influence was at work.

“For a pair of Magic Hand Mirrors, we can bring the cost down to seven Jin Jin Jialong.”

The professor said casually; Wizard Sean snapped his head up.

He remembered the original cost of the Magic Hand Mirror had been dozens of Jin Jin Jialong—even after he optimized the rarest materials.

To reduce material costs to this level, Wizard Sean could only think of two possibilities:

Either Professor Terra had made “friendly overtures” to the suppliers, or the suppliers had always inflated their prices.

Or perhaps both?

“Easter break is coming. It’s time to contact your agents, my dear student. On this day, we will spread Fairy Workshop across the entire magical world.”

Professor Terra smiled warmly.
