Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 404: Fairy Wand Factory
A long time ago, goblins were a very powerful magical race, otherwise they would not have been able to compete with wizards for leadership in the magical world.

However, with the development of the times, the development of mankind is unstoppable. For example, the establishment of ancient Rome!
When the wizarding world had not yet been separated from ordinary society, the influence of human prosperity inevitably affected the wizarding world.

As humans grew stronger, wizards also grew stronger, eventually seizing the absolute leadership position in the wizarding world more than two thousand years ago.

To put it in the words of the East, "The rise of the human race is the will of heaven and cannot be violated." Other magical races can only settle for second best.

In the days that followed, humans became more and more prosperous and their numbers increased. They began to occupy every corner of the world, leaving many magical races with nowhere to hide.

It was not until three hundred years ago, in modern times, that the Statute of Secrecy was introduced and the magical world began to separate itself from ordinary human society.

The purpose is to use the power of magic to unite the vast majority of magical races and to gain an independent living space for the magical world.

However, this also further enhanced the status of wizards and further squeezed the activities of other magical races. After all, the law clearly stipulates that they are not allowed to be exposed to Muggles. They can only hide.

Other magical races can only rely on wizards. The population is not large to begin with, so if they suffer, the wizards will bear the blame.

But fairies are different!
After the overall power of the wizarding world declined, they became very dissatisfied and have been making small moves ever since.

Decades before the Statute of Secrecy was enacted, in 1612, goblins in England rebelled.

The goblin rebellion took place near Hogsmeade, and the Three Broomsticks Tavern, which is now the headquarters for wizard liaison, once served as a place for wizards to liaise.

1692 years after the Statute of Secrecy was promulgated in 60, in 1752, the goblins could no longer hold back and rebelled once again!
The mishandling of this rebellion caused the entire British wizarding community to be plunged into war, and the then Minister of Magic resigned.

The next minister took office two months later, and because the goblins successfully formed an alliance with the werewolves, their strength increased greatly! He resigned again...

The leader of the goblin rebellion, Lala the Sloppy, was even featured on a chocolate frog card that records celebrities in the magic world because of this "feat".

The most recent goblin rebellion was in 1865...

After this rebellion, the British Ministry of Magic compromised and allowed the goblins to take over Gringotts in an attempt to prevent further rebellions.

You know, Gringotts in other countries are mostly controlled by wizards.

Only Gringotts in Britain is completely controlled by the goblins.

Almost 90% of the employees are goblins, and only some very insignificant positions employ wizards.

This is the only chain bank in the entire wizarding world!
Perhaps the British Ministry of Magic officials at the time thought that the goblins would be satisfied if they controlled the flow of wealth in the Ministry.

But they underestimated the ambitions of the goblins. They never gave up the dream of restoring their country!

Although the Goblin Revivalists and the Goblin Revenge Army haven't caused any major trouble in recent years, they are well-known as troublemakers and have never stopped their actions.

Especially now that they control the economic circulation of the British wizarding world, they have a kind of contempt for wizards.

Now the banking system of the British wizarding world, most of the wizards' deposits, 70% to 80% of the production and sales of magical metals... are all in the hands of the goblins!
After other alien magical races appeared in the past decade, the goblins became even more restless and secretly gathered a lot of fighters like hobgoblins, bugbears, ogres and the like, and their strength increased dramatically.

If it were me, I would also feel that I am superior to others!

Ted thought: "The three goblin rebellions were separated by more than a hundred years, and the most recent one was also more than a hundred years ago! Is it time? The goblins come back once every generation!"

……

The goblins are planning to launch a fourth rebellion. There is no need to think too much about the reason. After all, it is their traditional custom and ancestral craft.

Now what Ted needs to consider is what should he do in this matter?
First of all, we must not just stand by and watch.

Although there is always someone taller to hold up the sky if it collapses, I am no longer short now and I am considered to be attracting a lot of attention.

And I can't stand bending over like this every day.

I don't know what Dumbledore is busy with now... Busy! Everyone is busy! It's better to be busy~
And Fudge certainly had some bad intentions in this matter. Who knows what he wants to do with this goblin rebellion.

Can Ted give him what he wants?!
No!
Not to mention they also injured the old cat lady!
You think there's no one in my Hogwarts?!
Ted contacted Barty Jr.

"I have found some information. The goblins are gathering strength to rebel. And Fudge may be in contact with them and have his own plans. You can use this as an opportunity to infiltrate them."

Little Barty accepted this almost instantly - because this year is Fudge's last year in office, and the Ministry of Magic will hold a general election in a few months!

The most popular candidate right now is Amelia Bones, Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.

This lady's brother, Edgar Bones, was a member of the first Order of the Phoenix. His entire family (wife and children) were killed by Death Eaters.

She has never married and is determined to avenge her brother. She hates evil, is fair and honest, and is highly respected!

The Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has always been a hot favorite in the election for Minister, not to mention that Ms. Bones herself is very prestigious.

Fudge is in danger~
In this situation, it is normal for some people to do something out of the ordinary if they do not sit back and wait. You cannot count on the integrity of politicians.

"I understand, master." Now that we know Fudge's purpose, it will be much easier to please him. Little Barty is very good at this kind of thing.

"Does Fudge have any capable people? Is there any obstacle for you?" Ted asked.

Little Barty was a very clever man. He understood what Ted meant immediately. "Master, Robert Corbusier, the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was promoted by Fudge in an attempt to check and balance Director Amelia Bones. He was also an Auror and had a certain influence on the Auror Office. He was Fudge's most capable subordinate in the Ministry of Magic..."

Ted nodded: "I understand. Give me his information and movements, and I will handle it."

"I understand. I will fill his shoes and become Minister Fudge's right-hand man."

"Ah."

After Ted received the whereabouts of the unlucky guy, he contacted Lucius again.

"Mr. Lucius?"

"I'm here."

"I have found out definitive information. The goblins are going to rebel, and Fudge is in touch with them."

"What?! Is he crazy?" When Lucius heard the news, he was not as calm as little Batty.

Obviously he didn't understand Fudge as well as Barty Jr. did.

And although they both "died once", Lucius's death was fake, while Barty Jr.'s was real. After dying once, you can look at everything more open-mindedly.

Ted said patiently, "It's no wonder he went crazy for the position of Minister of Magic. If he loses the election this year, he might be purged. If it were you, would you be a little crazier?"

"Then, what should I do?" Lucius asked. He was a little confused when he heard the news.

Although he was considered to be one of the more knowledgeable members of a pure-blood wizard family, he had never experienced this.

After all, they are just small elites in a small society, which is not enough.

If this were a wizard who grew up in South America or Southeast Asia, he would probably treat rebellion as eating and killing as breathing, and would not take it seriously at all.

Ted said, "Maybe you should contact Draco. You have achieved your training goal, you can't keep going on like this, right?"

"And you can secretly help him contact Sirius Black, win over some pure-blood families, and gain some benefits from this goblin rebellion..."

Lucius obviously heard it and was very moved.

But poor Draco, he finally endured half a year to accept the reality that his beloved father had passed away, and now he had to suddenly accept the reality that his father had actually lied to him.

I just hope that the training during this period, as well as the trials in Utopia and games, will make him tough enough.

Speaking of which, although Ted doesn't like the pure-blood theory, it is indeed a small group of people who have real influence in the British wizarding world.

It’s because the population is too small. A society of 30,000 people is too stratified.

Therefore, letting the Malfoy and Black families unite a group of pure-blood wizards will have a strong ability to deal with the goblin rebellion, and they will also be able to gain more benefits after the war.

Since we are one of our own, it is understandable that we should give more benefits to them when something happens.

Then Ted went to deal with Robert, the deputy director of the legal department.

It's almost dawn now, and Ted has been busy for nearly thirty hours. I'll deal with him before he goes to work.

Ted Apparated to a more familiar street nearby, now a bearded adult wizard.

While it was still daybreak, Ted broke into Robert's house silently.

You know what, this guy has a sense of crisis. As expected of an Auror, he even set up a double-triggered magic trap.

Unfortunately, Ted's current actions were all covered by the mirror space, and then he did it directly. This method was completely inadequate. It only took 30 seconds for Ted to capture this guy in his early thirties alive.

"Wait! Who are you? What do you want to do?" The power of the mind turned into an invisible hand, holding his neck in mid-air, forcing him to kick randomly in the air.

Ted didn't explain, nor did he want to care, and just threw him into the utopia.

This person disappeared from the world.

However, this person did not know Fudge's ultimate goal, he only knew that he was going to do something extraordinary for the election, and promised that if he failed, he would support him to become the next Director of the Department of Magical Law, so that at least the key position would still be his own.

Ted was quite satisfied with Fudge. At least he was more cautious and didn't tell his secrets to everyone. He was more presentable.

Then Ted made some traces and pretended that it was done by a dark wizard. Ok, retreat!

I have to go to the fairy wand factory to have a look!

The main reason why Ted didn't kill Robert was that although this man was Fudge's man, he had not done anything evil.

There are few people in the magic world to begin with, so killing one less is one less, so don’t kill if you can avoid it.

Catch him first, and when Fudge falls, won’t this man become mine?
What? No?!
In this utopia, is there anyone who doesn't obey me, Ted?!

Have you heard of Infinite Tsukuyomi?
I guess this step is not necessary. Just seal the memory and throw him into the "Magic World" as an NPC. When his memory is restored, he will be scared to death.

What is the difference between a person without a self and a past and being dead?
When the time comes and he thinks back on his experiences during this period, he will listen to whatever you say.

Besides, for a person like this "materialistic Wei Junjie", can he really sacrifice his precious life for Fudge?

Oh, by the way, Ted suddenly became interested and planned to arrange a highly intelligent NPC wife for him in the game, just to see the reactions of both parties - just treat it as a magical Turing test!
Robert, do you want a wife?

You are an old bachelor, do you know that you picked it up?
After this operation, if he still dares to resist Ted's will, Ted will call him the most stubborn person!
……

The magic wand is the most outstanding invention in the wizarding world.

Magic is a kind of power that works according to people's wishes and performs miracles.

The problem is that many people's minds are unstable, which can cause the magic to fail or get out of control.

Thousands of years ago, before the invention of magic wands, it was very difficult for wizards to cast spells.

The appearance of the magic wand made up for this.

It is like a magic remote control, allowing wizards to easily and calmly command their magic power to achieve their goals.

If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools!

Not only wizards, but other magical races as well.

It can be said that the emergence of the magic wand has broadened the scope of magic.

This effect is particularly evident in the repeated rebellions of the goblins.

Only a handful of the top goblins without wands could fight against wizards, so the three rebellions all ended in failure.

By now, magic wands had become taboo, and goblins were not allowed to touch them at all.

The making of the wand is also entirely in the hands of the wizard.

In the whole of Europe, there are no more than a hundred wizards who can make magic wands!

In many countries, the craft may have been passed down by just one family for hundreds of years.

And the finished products have to be reported to the local Ministry of Magic. It's almost like a Muggle producing a gun. Do you think the Trace is just for detecting little wizards casting magic outside?
Although goblins have always wanted to get their hands on wands, there is really no other way except to snatch them from dead wizards.

But now, taking advantage of the unprecedented changes caused by the infiltration of the other world, the goblins actually found an opportunity.

By the way, this fairy wand factory has some connection with Ted.

Among Ted's knowledge of other worlds, he had obtained alchemical knowledge from the world of Azeroth, which included the ability to enchant, and the enchantment ability included some knowledge of making magic wands.

Ted doesn't have any spin-offs, but many things from the world of Azeroth have been passed down to this world.

Common ones include magical plants like tranquilizing flowers and thorn grass, as well as uncommon magic minerals, equipment, and books!
As for the goblins, they obtained some knowledge from an enchanted book in Azeroth.

In order to decipher the text, they spent at least eight thousand gold galleons worth of materials on multiple divinations and spellcastings.

It records a low-level method of making a magic wand.

The goblins invested a lot of money and resources in replacing and experimenting with materials. In the end, although they were still not as good as the wands made by Ollivander and others, they were still better than nothing.

But what’s interesting is that in “Magic World”, Ted revealed some related knowledge!

After all, can wizards play games without wands?
You can’t bring real-world magic wands directly into the game, right?
Therefore, the magic wand is also one of the must-do series of tasks.

This is a series of quests that novice players have to strive for after creating their character until they reach level 20.

Once completed, all materials and conditions are met and you can make your own magic wand.

Of course, if you get tired of being a wizard, there are other options.

For example, there are substitutes such as magic sword, magic dagger, magic book, magic ring, etc. It depends on the profession.

Ted did not explain all the information and knowledge in detail. Unless you are a wand maker like Ollivander, it is impossible to make a wand in real life according to the information in the game.

But the coincidence is that the fairy has already spent a lot of money to get in.

This time Ted got something for free!
……

Ted dropped the goblin in his hand. The news he just got from his mind made him so angry that his face turned green.

Damn, you're fucking me for free?!
I've been having sex for free for half my life, but today I was also being fucked!

You always have to pay for whoring!
Ted planted a backdoor hint in the mind of the gatekeeper goblin as a handy chess piece.

Then go invisible and continue exploring the wand factory.

It may be a family craft, this wand factory is underground, more than 40 meters deep!
When Ted entered, he discovered that this thing was not an underground space, but a super-sized goblin drilling machine!
Ted had seen this thing in the memories of the previous generation of four guardian professors in the basement of Hogwarts.

This is the inheritance of the goblins!
This thing must weigh dozens of tons, several times larger than the one I remembered digging the hole. I wonder if it cost the goblins decades of magical metal reserves?

Apparently, in order to ensure the safety of the wand factory, this underground factory will be moved from time to time to avoid being discovered. Afterwards, the traces of the underground drilling holes will be restored by magic.

Clever, dear~
This thing is great, I pre-ordered it!
Ted was like an invisible memory thief, scanning all the goblins that passed by one by one, checking their memories and searching for relevant information.

There are probably more than fifty but less than sixty goblins in this goblin wand factory.

There are about thirty or forty of them who are guards, and there are also secret sentries and so on.

There are only eight goblins who actually make wands, and the youngest one has wrinkles all over his face. They seem to be old goblin craftsmen.

And they are all operated on an assembly line, not handmade. Although the quality is average, the output is much higher!
There have to be seven or eight sticks a day, which is something Ollivander and his team can never do.

Ted found the leader among these people, and after controlling him in that magnificent office, he carefully dug into his memory.

This person was assigned to such a place, so his status was not low, and he finally learned a lot of useful information.

The goblins had been planning this rebellion for more than 20 years, with signs of it appearing since Voldemort began wreaking havoc in the British wizarding world.

The original intention was to rebel after Voldemort had ravaged the wizarding world, so that the wizards' resistance and consciousness would be very low.

Maybe some of Voldemort’s enemies will join him!
I never expected that Voldemort would be defeated by a baby. The defeat was unexpected...

After the magical races from other worlds began to appear frequently in this world, they became even more excited.

This time, the goblins seemed to have gained some support, not just the wand factory... so they began to take action in earnest!

Rely on! What else do the fairies have to rely on?

Oh yeah, and Fudge.

Fudge was indeed secretly in contact with the goblins, but the goblins didn't really believe him.

Ted thought, maybe I could let them fight each other?!
