Hogwarts Wizarding Journey

Facing the sky full of yellow sand, Bell and the others soon flew over the mine.

The mine is also surrounded by a large defensive barrier, but this is just the most common defensive barrier. Its only function is to block sand and dust.

At the entrance of the defensive barrier, two specially enhanced magic stone statues were guarding here. After seeing the three Bells landing on the ground, the stone statue's eyes shot out a blue light, which swept over the three people, and then the stone statue turned around again.

Restored to standby state.

Strictly speaking, Mars should be very safe here. It will not face invasion from foreign enemies, and so far no signs of the existence of other organisms have been found.

But as the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Anyway, this kind of specially-made battle stone statue is not for sale, and it will collect dust even if it is placed in the castle. It is better to bring it here for decoration.

Entering the mine, the sound of 'ding, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, dang, etc. was constantly echoing in my ears. Looking around, I could see many magic stone statues knocking on the ground or on the mountain wall.

From time to time, stones would be knocked down. At this time, the wizard or house elf controlling the stone statue would step forward and sift out arcane ore from the stones.

Although the magic stone statues can knock rocks independently, with their intelligence, they can only distinguish between sand and stones at best, and cannot accurately select arcane ore from a pile of stones. Otherwise, there is no way.

We need to worry about manpower issues.

Moreover, since the concentration of magic power in the atmosphere of Mars is much lower than that of the Earth, the stone statue must be returned to the base for recharging every time it works. This also greatly reduces the mining speed of ore.

The wizards and house elves working in the mine have all learned about the arrival of the three Bells on Mars yesterday, so no one was surprised when they saw the three people walking into the mine, and no one left.

own job.

But compared to the wizards, the house elves were much more excited. These little guys shouted loudly, asking the stone statues to speed up the mining, for fear of losing to the others in front of Bell.

Unfortunately, the magic stone statues couldn't understand what they were shouting, and all of them tilted their stone heads and looked at their controllers in confusion.

Seeing that the magic stone statue could still be played like this, Shanna felt that she had learned something again.

The little girl yelled, snatched control of the stone statue from the hand of the house elf closest to the three people, and happily experienced the mining profession.

Seeing the pitiful look cast by the house elf who had the stone statue taken away, Bell smiled and waved his hand, indicating that the other party could take a rest and not to worry.

Although she could see the magical stone statue every day, Hermione, who had never controlled a stone statue before, was very moved when she saw Zanna having fun there. However, she was too shy to directly seize control of the stone statue.

.

Of course, the main reason is that she can't snatch it away.

Fortunately, Bell also noticed the look in his girlfriend's eyes. Before Hermione could speak, he waved his hand, asked for a stone statue from another wizard, and gave it to Hermione to play with.

"Bell, how do you tell which one is the arcane mine?"

Looking at the gravel scattered under her feet, Hermione felt a little embarrassed.

It was only after she came here yesterday that she learned about arcanium, a newly discovered metal on Mars, for the first time. Apart from asking about some properties of arcanium from Bell, she didn't know anything about arcanite ore.

Seeing that in just such a short period of time, a small pile of arcane ore had already been piled up next to Zannah, Hermione became a little anxious. She hadn't found any of it yet.

After scanning the gravel at Hermione's feet, Bell stretched out his hand and made a slight move, and a piece of ore flew into his hand.

"If you are familiar with arcane ore, you can distinguish it by color. Compared with ordinary stones, the color of arcane ore is redder.

However, for novices, it is very difficult to distinguish them just by color. In this case, you need to use magic to perceive them.

Inject magic power into the stone and feel the flow of magic power in it. The higher the content of arcane in the ore, the smoother the flow of magic power.

And if it were just an ordinary rock, the flow of magic power would feel stagnant."

As he spoke, Bell injected a small amount of magic power into the ore in his hand and demonstrated it to Hermione.

"But Bell, how do I know what kind of feeling is stagnant?"

Hermione looked at Bell in confusion, still feeling at a loss.

"During the Transfiguration class, we also transformed stones. You should know what it feels like to inject magic into a rock that contains no magic components at all, right?"

Bell asked.

However, when he saw Hermione's blank eyes, Bell knew that he had thought too much.

On earth, except for mithril made by fairies, there are no other magic metals.

Most of the magic props Bell usually makes are ordinary metals. Only when making high-quality products, a small amount of mithril will be added.

As for magical props like Qianbian, which are made with mithril as the main body, the word "prodigal" is not enough to describe Bell's behavior.

Therefore, although Hermione often comes into contact with magic metals (magic props given by Bell on her body) without even knowing it, she has never had the experience of using transfiguration on magic metals.

Therefore, it is normal for Hermione to feel confused.

After thinking for a while, Bell decided that it would be better to be simple and direct. After all, it could be seen from the glances Hermione glanced at Zannah from time to time that she was pressed for time.

Putting the wand against his temple, Bell copied a memory from his mind.

"Stay still and don't move."

With that said, Bell threw his memory into Hermione's brain.

After accepting Bell's memory, Hermione closed her eyes and felt it for a while, and then understood the difference in feeling that Bell had mentioned before. She immediately bent down and pointed the wand at the gravel on the ground one by one.

(To distinguish arcane ore by color, more experience is needed. Even if Bell copied his relevant memories to Hermione, Hermione would still need a long time to digest and absorb them.

By the way, Bell and Zannah can distinguish arcane ore from ordinary rocks at a glance, and they can only do so by digesting and absorbing other people's memories.)

One can distinguish arcane ores at a glance, while the other requires the use of magic to sense them one by one. So naturally, the efficiency of the latter is completely incomparable with the former. Not to mention, Zannah controls 5 stone statues, while Hermione only has

1.

But even though she knew she was bound to fail, Hermione still did not give up, but carefully sifted through the rocks on the ground.
