Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

This internal agency rights auction, although fiercely competitive, was also conducted very efficiently, with everything finalized by the end of the evening banquet.→

Among these, Anduin received production orders for alchemical items totaling 73,000 Galleons. Even with a 20% deposit, this amounted to nearly 15,000 Galleons in cash revenue. The agency fees, though not substantial, still came to 8,000 Galleons, all of which was pure profit.

He also secured the UK agency rights for items including magical cameras, weather carpets, and magical tents. Except for flying carpets, which the Ministry of Magic would likely not fully open up to protect the UK's domestic broomstick industry, he essentially held the UK agency rights for the mainstream alchemical products of the international wizarding world.

Bianca, the Director who had been observing from the sidelines, was completely numb at this point. These alchemists were talking about money in terms of thousands or tens of thousands, which overwhelmed his mind.

At the same time, Bianca reaffirmed that Anduin and his Silver Flash Trading Company were truly becoming the benefactors of the British Ministry of Magic. This trade agreement might be signed on an even grander scale than initially envisioned.

After the agency contract bidding concluded, the alchemists signed a temporary agreement with Anduin. Once the Ministry of Magic's trade agreement was finalized in the next few days, they could sign the formal contract and pay the remaining balance.

On the other side, Anduin was extremely excited to receive so many orders. After the banquet ended and he returned to his room, he immediately sent a letter to Qiqi at home, instructing her to start up all the lathes in the basement magic workshop. His underground factory would be operating at full capacity for a long time to come.

The next day, the International Alchemical Conference officially began. This conference would last for three days. In addition to awarding outstanding alchemists from the past three years, the conference would also discuss the latest alchemical content, such as runes, magical texts, and materials. It was essentially a high-end academic exchange meeting.

On the first day of the conference, Anduin was awarded the 'International Alchemical Conference Gold Award for Pioneering Contributions'.

In Anduin's view, this process was quite boring. He simply went on stage to receive a trophy, then delivered an acceptance speech, which was no different from receiving a 'Good Student' award in elementary school.

However, for the large number of alchemists and wizards from various countries attending the conference, Anduin was radiant with glory. They all remembered this handsome young wizard. The last person to receive such an honor at this age was Dumbledore, also a British wizard.

Moreover, for most of the wizards who came to observe and the reporters who came to interview, the award-winning Anduin was probably more attractive than the other content of the conference.

Because the content after the award ceremony was a very tedious and completely incomprehensible academic lecture for them. The reporters would probably only write a sentence in the newspaper about this part: 'Alchemy Master XXX delivered a speech and discussion on the academic topic of XXX'.

They were more willing to spend a lot of space describing Anduin, who was in the limelight, because this way they wouldn't say anything wrong. At the same time, the readers of the newspapers themselves didn't understand those profound research topics.

Therefore, in the following days, Anduin's name quickly spread to various countries through reporters from around the world.

However, Anduin, who was still attending the conference, didn't have time to pay attention to those reporters. He was listening to the lectures of those alchemy masters with great interest. What sounded like gibberish to others was a valuable treasure to him.

However, this made things difficult for Maisie and the other two witches who came to accompany him. They couldn't understand anything, but they had to stay on site, after all, their duty was to protect the domestic alchemists.

Director Bianca quietly slipped away after the award ceremony. He said he was going to pick up the two directors who were coming to sign the trade agreement, but no one knew if he was telling the truth or not. But who told him to be a high-ranking official? They didn't dare to ask.

Finally, near dusk, the ladies ended this headache-inducing academic session and discussed where to go to have fun later. However, when they wanted to ask Anduin to have dinner together, they found that the young man had already disappeared.

Only the bored Maisie and Vanessa were left, along with Aselia, who was frowning and deep in thought.

Around 9 p.m., the 'Thunderbird', reeking of murderous intent, materialized in the Ebshawe Mountains and looked around at its surroundings. Then, it immediately locked onto an open space with a clear view.

The Thunderbird was preparing to give Anduin, who dared to offend him, a surprise to show him what true despair was. Last time, the opponent used despicable means to injure him.

This time, he decided not to give that guy any chance, and would use his full strength from the start to instantly disintegrate the opponent's combat power.

As for Anduin's strength, the Thunderbird never thought he had underestimated him. He admitted that this young man did have the ability to exchange a few moves with him, but that was all.

As long as he used his true strength, the opponent would have no room to resist. What he needed to pay attention to was preventing the opponent from escaping. However, he had just obtained a high-quality flying carpet from the Sphinx, which was extremely fast and guaranteed that the kid wouldn't escape.

"Arrogant Anduin, this time I will let you experience what true despair is..." The 'Thunderbird', who was slowly coming to the open space, was originally muttering words full of resentment, until his foot stepped on the ground and felt like he had stepped on something familiar and yet somewhat strange.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted at the open space, and at the same time, a terrifying tremor was transmitted from under the Thunderbird's feet.

Not this again... A painful memory that he didn't want to recall flashed through the Thunderbird's mind.

Then, his entire figure was engulfed by the violent explosion. The ground within a radius of ten meters of the Thunderbird's location instantly exploded, and the explosion lasted for several seconds.

The dust raised by the violent explosion splashed more than ten meters high, and even the ground within a few kilometers around could feel a tremor.

This explosion was much more violent than the last time on the island of Ireland, but the Thunderbird was not a character that could be solved so easily.

When the dust cleared, the Thunderbird's hideous face was finally revealed in the open space.

At this time, the Thunderbird was also wrapped in a scarlet circular shield, just like last time, but at this time, the shield no longer had the eerie and powerful feeling it had before.

The magical light on the shield was extremely dim, and even with the naked eye, it could be seen that the color distribution on the shield was extremely uneven. Obviously, this shield had not been able to completely withstand this intensity of explosion.

And the Thunderbird's body didn't look as tattered as it was last time, as if he had learned from the last experience, this time his reaction was much faster.

However, although the external injuries were not shown, his terrifying face with blood flowing from his seven orifices still showed that he had suffered serious internal injuries at this time.

"Anduin!" Two lines of bloody tears dripped from the Thunderbird's eyes, but he still opened his scarlet eyes and shouted frantically, looking up to the sky. He really couldn't accept being tricked twice by the same trap.

Moreover, Anduin obviously had prepared in advance, then it proved that someone had leaked the information about this operation. Was it the Unicorn or the Sphinx?

While the Thunderbird was frantically searching for Anduin's figure, he quickly activated his brain. He was just arrogant, not stupid. Soon, he determined the suspect in his mind. It was most likely Aselia.

However, before he could finish thinking, a crescent-shaped sword energy shot out from behind him. This sword energy was faintly visible in the air, looking very much like the Severing Charm that Anduin had used before.

But if this was the Severing Charm, it would be too long, and the crescent-shaped blade was also flashing with faint blue-silver arcs of electricity. Obviously, this was stronger than the ordinary Severing Charm.

"You finally showed up, you coward... Roar!" The Thunderbird had just appeared and was ambushed, which had already made him extremely angry. This was even more infuriating than the last time he was tricked.

He, who was already emotionally unstable, roared, and instantly summoned the fierce blue hellfire, which transformed into a ferocious tiger in the air, biting the oncoming sword energy to pieces in one bite, and pounced towards Anduin behind with surging power.

At this time, Anduin, facing the furious Thunderbird, had no fluctuations in his mood. He just held the Dim Annihilation in his arms and slowly walked towards the hellfire-transformed tiger in front of him.

And his speed of advance was getting faster and faster, from pacing at the beginning, to walking fast, to jogging, to running wildly. In just over a second, Anduin's speed rose to the extreme.

Facing the intimidating blue hellfire in front of him, Anduin would have turned around and ran away a year ago.

But now...

Anduin held the sword in both hands, and dazzling blue-silver electric light bloomed on the sword. Then, he slashed down with all his strength, and a beam of electric light several meters long appeared, turning into a huge blade, splitting the blue flame tiger in front of him in half.

And after splitting the hellfire tiger, Anduin immediately twirled the sword, and then swung the sword continuously, forming several sword energies faintly flashing with silver light, shooting straight at the Thunderbird.

And each of these sword energies was an enhanced version of the Severing Charm!

The Thunderbird was both angry and shocked to see that Anduin had instantly shattered his blue hellfire!

What was going on with this young man? He was clearly helpless against the blue hellfire a year ago, how could he now deal with it head-on?

And what he was holding in his hand... was a sword?

Why was the magical fluctuation on this thing so amazing? At the same time, the intensity of magic released by Anduin was also stronger than last year. What was going on? Did this kid take drugs?
