Chapter 769: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 330

~7 min read 1,243 words

Sean and Mr. Ma Er, along with the witch Su Ya, finalized the last details of the magic hand mirror.

The two-person calling version was the most common; the prices for the remaining three-person and four-person versions were terrifyingly high.

Mr. Ma Er explained it this way:

"Respected Mr. Hermes, this is necessary. If the price weren't this high, how could we reflect the preciousness of the multi-faceted mirror?

What's more, this was crafted by your own hands, Merlin's beard...

You have absolutely no need to worry. I will stake my reputation on it: in three days, all thirty multi-faceted mirrors will be snapped up."

Mr. Ma Er muttered something about "celebrity effect" and "scarcity creates value," then excitedly refined the product.

"The slim double-sided mirror version must have its weight reduced to half of the standard version—five centimeters! It's too thick, too thick, it's practically a brick! Would you use a brick?

Come on, my dear Lawrence, stop manufacturing trash—do you want our noble customers who buy the slim mirror to use an iron block? It actually weighs a kilogram!

The pattern on the back? Haven't I emphasized that already?"

Mr. Ma Er rolled up his sleeves and went straight to the production line.

He seemed very familiar with the alchemy apprentices at the Jade Workshop, directing them with ease.

Sean and Professor Taila just watched him quietly, expanding the categories of magic hand mirrors to a terrifying degree.

Magic was also more wondrous than Sean had imagined; in just one afternoon, they had improved the appearance of the previously manufactured magic hand mirrors.

Now, Sean was holding a Kneazle-shaped magic hand mirror in his hand.

Its back featured a Kneazle pattern, and the top had two soft cat-ear charms.

According to Sean's understanding, this was just like a phone case.

Not just the Kneazle, Mr. Ma Er also designed a Niffler version for the young witches: it came with a plush pouch for small items; a Billywig version: you could open the mirror surface by squeezing its chubby belly; a Unicorn version: it had a glowing soft horn decoration, and the entire mirror was crafted with shimmering powder and pure white materials...

Besides these, there was a Dragon version designed for wizards: it maintained a constant temperature year-round and would automatically heat up if it detected use by someone other than the owner; a Pegasus version: it could float in the air by itself; a Phoenix version: it had gorgeous, elegant feather reliefs...

Of course, Mr. Ma Er also designed versions with simple appearances, as well as special-looking ones like the Fwooper version, the Dementor version, the Golden Snitch version...

Su Ya followed beside him, marveling as she took careful notes.

After a major overhaul of the appearance and thickness, Mr. Ma Er set his sights on the display capabilities of the magic hand mirror.

"Respected Mr. Hermes, besides displaying the wizard, can it also display the environment outward?

If some film were added, could it record this environment?"

Ma Er asked cautiously.

"It can."

Sean thought, isn't this just a camera function?

"In Merlin's name... we're going to make a fortune this time!"

Ma Er let out a low cry and dove headfirst into the production line.

Seeing his return, the alchemy apprentices, who were busy without a moment's rest, turned sour-faced.

"Adding a new function—we need to complete all the modifications by tomorrow—"

Ma Er announced.

All several dozen wizards remained silent.

"Mr. Ma Er, if I may speak frankly, this is simply impossible!"

One wizard protested.

"Double the wages!"

Ma Er waved his hand grandly.

"But, but, the modification of three hundred magic hand mirrors, with less than a day's time, it's only possible if we don't sleep or rest..."

The wizard in the grey-black robe spoke in a much weaker tone.

"Double the bonus!"

Ma Er continued to announce.

"I have no problem with that! Mr. Ma Er!"

That wizard immediately became excited.

Alchemists, even apprentices, the wages for apprentices in the workshop were not low.

Now they were even doubled.

Sean knew the power of money would be great, but he didn't expect it to be this great.

When they walked out of the Jade Workshop, he already had samples of all the modified versions in his hand.

"Time is limited, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you—you can use this pair of magic hand mirrors to contact me—Merlin, how can this thing be so easy to use, ten times better than owls and fireplaces—"

After sending Sean and Professor Taila out of the workshop, Mr. Ma Er dove back into the production line.

He was all smiles, constantly muttering things like "making a fortune, making a fortune."

In the twilight-shrouded Jade Workshop, the evening breeze lightly stepped on the clouds; at sunset, the young wizard and the old wizard were draped in orange.

"Ma Er is a good businessman; he possesses all the cunning of a merchant, but at the same time, he retains a conscience, which is not often seen."

Professor Taila said.

At this moment, they were heading toward the fireplace.

The second day of the Easter break.

Sean was still busy in the dungeon, seemingly because being taken away by Professor Taila a few days prior had angered Professor Sineipu.

That day, Professor Sineipu didn't even return to his office; he stayed by the cauldron with a cold face until the swirling steam covered his face.

Sean brewed potions, thinking that he might not be able to go to Diagon Alley for the sale today.

He didn't feel it was a pity, turning his thoughts back to the Polyjuice Potion he was brewing.

Besides this, he also had to think about how to break the curse of the Resurrection Stone.

In the cauldron, green bubbles rose and burst; outside the cauldron, the fire burned and extinguished.

Not until the Polyjuice Potion was finished did Professor Sineipu impatiently release the owl clutching a letter.

Sean took the letter from Bai Yi's claws and put Bai Yi into the Wizard's Book; at this time, Bai Yi was still chirping and trying to peck at Professor Sineipu's robe.

【Dear Sean:

It is said that a nice new shop has opened in Diagon Alley; I wonder if you have time to accompany an old bag of bones for a walk?

Love, Grandpa Ma Kusi】

Sean looked up, and Professor Sineipu let out a cold snort without ceremony.

Thus, Sean knew that Grandpa Ma Kusi's expectation would fall through.

Just as he was preparing to reply, the door was knocked upon.

A few minutes later, Professor Marcus Maige laboriously took the young wizard away from the dungeon.

"Olivia told me that the magic hand mirrors have started selling."

Professor Marcus Maige said gently,

"You should be there."

Just like that, Sean met up with Grandpa Ma Kusi at the Leaky Cauldron.

The Leaky Cauldron.

It was dark and dirty here. A few old crones were sitting in the corner drinking sherry from small glasses, one of whom was smoking a long pipe. A little man in a top hat was chatting with the pub landlord, who was almost bald and looked like a shriveled walnut.

Ma Kusi was right in front of the pub landlord; he put down his butterbeer, his tone uncontrollably cheerful:

"Come here quickly, let me take a good look at my Marcus Maige family's lovely child." ===== CHAPTER 770 =====
