Simulation: Start with one person

"No! Uncle Liu! We are joking!"

Ignoring what happened next, Fang Rui quit the group chat, put his phone away, and continued reading the novel...

Most of the knowledge in the book is useful, after all, it is adapted from a true story.

"Speaking of which, without Voldemort causing trouble, what would have been Lockhart's fate? Leaving Hogwarts safely?"

It should be impossible. Dumbledore had been eyeing Lockhart from the beginning, otherwise he would not have personally invited him to teach at Hogwarts.

'There's no use thinking here, why not ask Dumbledore. '

With this in mind, Fang Rui headed to the Black Lake.

Beside the Black Lake, the explosive roar has disappeared, and the snowball fight between Sengoku and Garp has stopped.

Arriving at the Black Lake, Fang Rui saw that Warring States, Garp and Dumbledore all looked like they had been struck by lightning.

"what happened?"

Dumbledore explained: "When Garp and Sengoku were throwing snowballs, this person suddenly appeared between the two people, and then was hit by two snowballs and lost consciousness directly."

Speaking of this, Dumbledore's expression was very subtle, "And this person is the one who took over the task and is responsible for helping."

"That is to say, this person was hit by Garp and Warring States' attacks, right?" Fang Rui briefly summarized, his expression also very subtle.

"That's right." Dumbledore was a little worried. He was a little worried about this man's safety.

"I originally wanted to take him to the infirmary, but Garp said it was not necessary."

Fang Rui looked at it a few times and said, "It's really not necessary. I just fainted. Just wait until he wakes up."

"So, why are you looking like this?"

"Maybe it happened too suddenly~" Dumbledore said. It was indeed too sudden and he didn't react at all.

"It's simply unimaginable that someone would appear out of nowhere."

"It was like two wizards were fighting, and one person suddenly apparated over and blocked the attacks of the two wizards."

"Have you seen a good metaphor before?" Fang Rui raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I have indeed seen it." Dumbledore nodded lightly.

Some wizards are very unlucky and will encounter various things after disapparating, and what he said before is one of them.

"So unlucky?" Fang Rui was surprised.

"You know that there is a curse in the wizarding world." Dumbledore said.

"Well, there is a curse in Hogwarts. How could I not know about it at such a close distance?" Fang Rui said that of course he knew about such a huge curse.

Not only did he know there was a curse on Hogwarts, he also knew it hadn't been lifted for decades.

A curse shouldn't be so difficult to break.

According to Dumbledore, the curse is connected to Hogwarts Castle and has become part of the castle, and Hogwarts Castle is the Magic Castle.

To remove the curse, it must be a spell that can affect the entire castle.

Regarding Fang Rui's stabbing behavior, Dumbledore simply ignored it and continued to explain, "Some curses can make people unlucky, such as the curse of drinking cold water and stuffing teeth."

"I see, that means there is a curse that makes people unlucky."

Fang Rui nodded to express his understanding, "What about the price? There is a price for casting a curse, right?"

"It depends on the duration and power." Dumbledore explained, "The reason why the curse that haunts Hogwarts can last so long is because the castle is powering the curse."

"...It seems like I'm off topic!" At this point, Fang Rui suddenly spoke.

"Indeed." Dumbledore nodded slightly.

"What brings you here?"

The topic was brought back to the right track. Fang Rui thought about it for a while and remembered the purpose of his trip.

"I'm here to ask you, what are you going to do with Lockhart?"

"If you want to try a wizard, especially a famous person, you need sufficient evidence."

"But most of the evidence that could prove his crime has been destroyed."

Dumbledore explained, "Although the information I have collected now can convict him, it is... not enough! It is incomplete!"

"Use some truth serum or something like that!" Fang Rui suggested.

"You can use it after you convict him, but now... you can't." Dumbledore was very principled.

"Okay! Since the other party has fallen into your net, I won't do anything~"

"I'm waiting to watch the show! Albus!"

As he said that, Fang Rui turned his eyes to the fainted person. From the other person's special hairstyle, Fang Rui had already recognized who he was.

One of the former CP9, Bruno, who has the Gate Fruit.

As a bodyguard, he is indeed very qualified. The air door is directly immune to most attacks, whether physical or magical, and is very easy to escape.

Once you dive into the air door, no one can catch up.

Not wanting to stay here any longer, Fang Rui left and returned to Hogwarts Castle.

Garp and others did not continue to stand by the Black Lake and took Bruno back to the castle.

Bruno was placed in the infirmary, and Garp and others were playing wizard chess in the cafeteria. It was not the chess that Fang Rui had purchased online, but the wizard chess that Dumbledore had purchased before.

"Oh! This chess is very interesting..." Seng Guo said thoughtfully, holding his chin.

The emotions of the chess players will affect the chess pieces.

The reaction of the chess pieces will also affect the players.

As the marshal of the navy, Sengoku once commanded so many people, and now he naturally has no problem commanding a few chess pieces.

"I think they are quite noisy." Garp expressed his annoyance. Although these chess pieces were very obedient, he still felt that these chess pieces were noisy.

In particular, his chess skills were a bit poor. The chess pieces were obedient, but he showed no mercy when complaining. Every word he said made him furious.

"Not very good at playing," Fang Rui said. He was speechless as he watched Warring States and Dumbledore play chess.

A few minutes ago, he asked him to destroy a chess piece because he complained too harshly about it.

After that, he stopped playing chess.

These chess pieces did not dare to let him touch the chess pieces anymore. When they saw Fang Rui reaching out, they became extremely panicked and ran away while screaming.

"Speaking of which, what did the person who invented Wizard Chess think?"

Looking at the chess pieces being scolded one by one, Fang Rui was speechless. What kind of person could come up with these settings?

"I don't know, maybe I just feel that the movable chess pieces have more of a wizard feel."

Dumbledore moved a chess piece forward and expressed his opinion.

"No, I mean the curse function! What is the idea behind setting up so many curse words? The vocabulary is too rich!"

Fang Rui waved his hands a few times and asked the question again.

It is impossible for ordinary people to master so many curse words. Who would be so bored to collect so many curse words.

If it is not collected, it is even worse!

"Hmm! I don't know much about this..."

Fang Rui's problem was beyond his knowledge, and he didn't know why the chess pieces had so many curse words.

"Wouldn't students be allowed to follow suit?" Fang Rui asked.

"Do you think so?" Dumbledore asked.

"I don't think so." When it comes to learning bad things, black magic can learn bad things much faster.

Don’t underestimate negative emotions!A powerful evil curse can make an ordinary person a little bit bad.

"Speaking of which, since you can make the chess piece move, why not add some other functions to it, such as special attack effects."

"Swing the sword to release the sword energy, and punch out the flames..."

"What you said makes sense, but the cost is a bit high..."

Dumbledore shook his head slowly and added some functions, which seemed simple but were actually very troublesome.

Chapter 404

"What's the cost..."

The people who would be willing to spend money to buy a special-effects version of wizard chess are probably some people who shout "pure-blood supremacy" and some very rich people.

In the wizarding world, there are only a few rich people. To be precise, there are only a few rich people who will spend money to buy some toys.

"Can you estimate how much a set of wizard chess would cost if you want to achieve the effect I mentioned?"

"About twenty galleons." Dumbledore gave the answer.

Although he didn't calculate it carefully, he could estimate a rough range. After all, the price of ordinary wizard chess was already a bit expensive.

"It's indeed a bit expensive!" Fang Rui nodded slightly in agreement. Arthur Weasley's monthly salary was only a few dozen galleons.

One Galleung is enough for a family to have food and accommodation for more than one day, and the purchasing power is sufficient.

"Is it possible to lower the price?" Fang Rui asked.

"Yes." Dumbledore said, "The production cost is high in hiring someone to draw the alchemy circuit and the materials needed to draw the circuit. From these two aspects, the cost can be reduced..."

Find an alchemist who is cheaper to pay and use more affordable and high-quality materials.

Regardless of the former or the latter, it is difficult to deal with. There are very few alchemists who charge low prices, and there are even fewer high-quality and cheap materials.

"Material……"

Regarding the problem of material supply, he has many ways to solve it, which can be easily solved. As for the problem of drawing the alchemy circuit, he also has a solution.

"What do you think of the fully automatic alchemy circuit engraving machine?"

In Dumbledore's confused expression, Fang Rui spit out an incomprehensible name.

"What...what?" Dumbledore wanted to repeat it, but unfortunately he found that he couldn't even remember the name.
