The mastermind behind Hogwarts

Chapter 101 The Magic Wand Set is Complete!

"What? He said Fleur's intuition is very accurate, which means he has come up with a way to develop a wand set?" A French Ministry of Magic official stared wide-eyed, looking terrified as if he had seen a ghost.

The other officials could not hide their surprise. They had roughly read the plan for the wand set. Apart from the fact that Ollivander and Horace's work could be replaced, the most core and difficult part had to be done by the alchemy master!

This is why the French Ministry of Magic took the bet news very seriously; they were certain that neither the British Ministry of Magic nor Hogwarts had any alchemy masters.

Perhaps they also intend to extort a hefty sum from the British Ministry of Magic using the wand set.

But now, Moriarty tells everyone that he bets he will win!

What does this mean?

Fengwei Cape really wanted to rush up to Dumbledore and ask him if he knew that a 12-year-old alchemist had appeared at Hogwarts.

French Ministry of Magic officials looked at their minister, who had come to Hogwarts with great enthusiasm to cheer on Nicolas Flamel, even bringing along Beauxbatons' headmaster and students.

Of course, they would not admit that they were secretly pleased to see the British make a fool of themselves.

But Moriarty's words hit them like a ton of bricks, leaving them bewildered.

Under the watchful eye of the French sorcerer, Feng Wei suddenly developed a migraine. He had witnessed Moriarty's killing curse in the French metro station and didn't believe that a 12-year-old boy who could use the killing curse would say unrealistic things just to look cool in front of little girls.

Everyone thought so, but unlike the French, the British wizards were overjoyed, and Dumbledore walked toward Moriarty.

"I apologize for interrupting your conversation, young people," Dumbledore said, his slightly amused gaze shifting between Moriarty, Fleur, and Lilith before settling on Moriarty, his expression turning serious. "Moriarty, could you please tell us loudly that you will win the bet? Are you sure?"

"I confirm." Moriarty nodded, looking at everyone, and said, "To be precise, within 24 hours, reports about the finished wand set will be on the front page of the Daily Prophet!"

"Good! Excellent!" the British wizards cheered. "Well done!" "Great!" they said, making various victory gestures.

The French wizards, on the other hand, were gloomy and dejected. A young Auror snorted indignantly, opened his mouth to say something, but saw Moriarty's calm eyes and wisely shut his mouth.

Moriarty was too calm, unusually calm.

Dumbledore also noticed this; he could sense this calmness in Nicolas Flamel as well, but Nicolas had been tempered by time, and his calmness was one of complete indifference to life and death.

The calmness in Moriarty's eyes made Dumbledore uneasy. He felt that in Moriarty's eyes, they were not human, but rather... like a string of cold symbols.

"Alright, wizards," Moriarty began, silencing all other voices. "Whether you believe it or not, give me an empty classroom and do not let anyone disturb me for 24 hours. And—Mr. Ollivander and Mr. Horace, please hand over the data and materials you have prepared."

"No problem at all." Dumbledore looked at everyone, made a few arrangements, and Moriarty also left. The empty classroom was his first-year Transfiguration classroom.

Feng Wei led the French wizard toward the secret chamber; they needed to hurry and tell Nicolas Flamel the news.

As the adults hurriedly left, only the young wizards of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons remained in the Great Hall.

The little witches stood there, looking around in bewilderment. Dumbledore and Mrs. Maxim had left in such a hurry that they hadn't had time to arrange dormitories for them.

Fleur greeted Jericho naturally, "Hi, cowboy, could you please show us around Hogwarts? I've never seen the English sky at six o'clock before."

"I'd be happy to show you around," Jericho said, his voice unreadable, "provided I get a good night's sleep and you put away that outrageous Swain magic."

Hibiscus wasn't angry at all about being rejected. She smiled, which triggered another round of howling and wailing. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Lilith walk up to her.

"If you're feeling energetic, I wouldn't mind showing you around Hogwarts." Lilith glanced at the little witch from Beauxbatons, her gaze finally settling on Fleur.

She had just seen Fleur be the first to speak to Moriarty before everyone else, and that's when she realized how incredibly bold Fleur was.

Lively, bold, good-looking, with excellent temperament and knowledge... she seems to be an excellent little wizard.

These advantages combined in one girl made Lilith feel that she had met her match.

But when Jericho revealed Fleur's true identity, Lilith immediately relaxed. The noblest and oldest Slytherin family would never marry a Sylvanas, right?

but!

It's necessary to deflate Little Mew's arrogance a bit. Later, I'll bring Little Mew to Tonks and Gemma, hehehehe...

Lilith glanced at Fleur, thinking to herself that Hogwarts was not as simple as she imagined, but a faint smile appeared on her face as she led Fleur on a tour of Hogwarts, starting from the Great Hall.

Jericho watched a group of girls walk past him, but remained unmoved. Looking listless, he went back to his dorm to catch up on sleep.

The other young wizards spread the word, and soon, groups of young wizards gathered outside the Transfiguration classroom on the first floor.

In the classroom, Moriarty read through the information compiled by Ollivander, which contained records of nearly 70% of the wands in the British magical world today.

He quickly memorized the information and selected a type of magic vine from among many materials that was relatively more suitable for wood, as the exterior of the wand set.

This magic vine originated in Greece and was introduced to England by Muggle sailors seven hundred years ago. It is now widely distributed in Ireland.

Moriarty crafted the magic vine into a cylindrical shape resembling a tube, and used mithril as the main support to ensure it could tightly encase the wand.

Then he picked up the list of materials that Horace and Spell had compiled together, which might be needed.

If alchemy is the core technology, then magic guidance is the indispensable driving force.

Despite the careful selection by the two potion masters, there are still 14036 suitable materials for guiding magic!

They were packed in large boxes and piled up one by one on the classroom floor.

Choosing the most suitable materials for guiding magic is a huge undertaking for anyone, which explains why each alchemy experiment always requires more apprentices and a lot of time.

But for Moriarty, there was no need for repeated trials.

He made more than 10,000 kinds of materials float in the air, and simultaneously infused one thousand kinds of materials with an equal amount of magic.

At the same time, Moriarty conjured a reclining chair, leaned back on it, closed his eyes, and activated his matrix, carefully sensing the changes after the magic was transmitted to a thousand materials.

After repeating this method twenty times, he input these changes into a matrix. The matrix, like a computer, takes into account the possible values ​​such as volume, mass, quantity, and magic value at different ages, and gives the most suitable choice.

Moriarty opened his eyes and selected a deep blue crystal from among thousands of materials.

Azure crystal has excellent magical properties, is lightweight, and highly compatible.

Moriarty compressed the blue crystal and embedded it inside the magic vine to use as a channel for magical energy. At the bottom of the magic vine, he condensed the blue crystal into a tiny droplet of extremely dense liquid to serve as a kinetic energy reserve.

This technique undoubtedly utilizes three-state transformation and water elemental magic, and is unique to Moriarty.

A suit of armor, about the thickness of two fingers and half the length of an arm, was completed. The next crucial step was to add magical effects.

Moriarty spent a little over an hour adding permanent hardening and memory spells, waterproofing spells, fireproofing spells, softening spells, shock absorption, weight reduction, and many other magical effects to the suit.

Finally, Moriarty wrote down hundreds of magical runes and symbols on a blank parchment, such as "Connect," "Automatic," "Mix," "Reduce Barriers," and "Activate Magic."

In Moriarty's view, they no longer needed to be plugged into formulas to calculate the appropriate values, nor did they need to undergo lengthy alchemical experiments; they were simply elements within the matrix.

With the support of mental and magical power, the matrix will automatically calculate the best combination between element A and element B until the n-order element A and the n-order element B form a stable cycle.

The various magical cycles give the wand set its greatest advantage: the ability to quickly eject the wand.

The first wand set was completed, but unfortunately Moriarty couldn't try it out immediately. The Matrix had consumed most of his mental and magical energy, leaving him with a blank mind and a temporary loss of thought.

This time, Moriarty was unable to receive any mental replenishment from others. After sitting quietly in the recliner for two hours, Moriarty regained his senses and picked up his wand set.
