The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Naya stroked the gloves on her hands, looking like she couldn't put them down. Now in her eyes, these gloves are more beautiful than the custom-made gloves in luxury stores.

As a senior Auror, Naya knew very well what an advantage it was to be able to instantly cast an armor spell in a duel. This spell brings endless possibilities. It can instantly determine the winner of evenly matched duels, and it can also give yourself a breath of relief when you are at a disadvantage.

Naya is confident that with the help of this glove, she will be able to give her colleagues a "surprise". For this reason, she did not hesitate to break her face and cut off the beard directly from Delis.

How could a man like Delis deserve this glove?

"One price, twenty galleons." Tom reported the price. This glove was not a product of Fred and George, it was made by himself. Purely handmade, it naturally brings some added value.

In the original world line, facing the increasingly rampant Death Eaters, Fred and George made a series of defense products such as anti-curse hats, anti-curse cloaks, and anti-curse gloves, which came with the Iron Armor Curse, which was very practical and even The Ministry of Magic has placed a huge order.

They probably didn't use alchemy, but attached the iron armor spell to the clothes through some weird spells. This touches on Tom's knowledge blind spot.

The advantage of doing this is that they can mass-produce it quickly, but the disadvantage is that if the iron armor curse on the clothes is broken, the clothes will probably be useless, unlike Tom's products that can be "charmed" repeatedly.

Hearing Tom's offer, both Delis and Naya opened their eyes wide. Not because Tom the Lion opened his mouth, but because they thought it was too cheap!

It took a lot of perseverance for Naya not to say "This is too cheap." She still understood the basic principles of business negotiation.

No matter how cheap you think it is, don't show it in front of the merchants.

"Of course, this glove was made in a hurry and has many shortcomings." Tom knew very well that he set an absurdly low price. Spending twenty galleons on a pair of gloves that can cast the Iron Armor Curse is as outrageous as spending two thousand dollars on a 20 series graphics card.

The 20-series graphics card bought for two thousand yuan is most likely a mining card, and Tom's 20-gallon anti-curse gloves naturally have their problems.

"It can only reflect ordinary jinxes. If the spell is too powerful, it will cause the Iron Armor Curse to break. Moreover, after each release, the Iron Armor Curse needs to be refilled. Too many refills will also cause the magic words on the gloves to break. Damaged..." Tom told the shortcomings of the anti-curse gloves very honestly, without any concealment.

After all, he was in front of an Auror from the Ministry of Magic. Tom was a principled person and he would not deceive decent people. He has a very flexible moral bottom line, and when faced with people he doesn't like, his bottom line can be very low.

Naya nodded repeatedly. She knew that buying a glove that could rebound spells infinitely at this price was a fool's errand. But the mysterious young man in front of her was willing to tell her all these things, which was an unexpected surprise.

Tom's principle of making this kind of filled alchemy creation is to engrave magic words on the surface of magic silver, so that the magic words can store a spell. Depending on the spell, there are corresponding protective magic words to prevent leakage. Such a magic text combination is not complicated, so he can make it in a short time.

Can higher-end alchemical creations be made? Of course you can, it just takes more time. The kind of alchemical creation that requires no filling spell to release magic, Tom can certainly make.

He only needs to arrange the magic words so that the magic flowing through the magic words is consistent with the corresponding spell, but this is very laborious. Tom needs to carve the magic words little by little on the magic silver, which is not much larger than the ring. The carving is wrong. One has to tear it down and start over again, and the arrangement of different spells and magic texts is also different.

This is a delicate job—you’ll have to pay extra!

Hearing that this glove had so many shortcomings made Delis feel a little better. But when he saw his colleague paying for the glove without hesitation, he still felt sour.

"Then can you..." Delis rolled his eyes, wondering if Tom could make higher-end alchemical creations. What made him overjoyed was that the Mr. Seven in front of him could really do it!

"I can customize a protective glove for you. As long as you input magic power, you can release a powerful iron armor spell. There is no need to refill the magic spell. It can be used repeatedly in battle - of course, if you want to attach other Spells are also available, but the price will be a little more expensive and you need to wait for a while."

Delis's eyes suddenly lit up, and he could release them just by inputting magic power? And is it used repeatedly? Is there such a good thing? This is simply like bringing a shield as an auxiliary in battle.

Hearing that there was a better version, Naya's heart was suddenly filled with a haze.

"Then how much do gloves like this cost?" Of course Delis noticed the mood of his colleague, but it had nothing to do with him! Who asked you to intercept my order?

"Two hundred galleons, it will take about a week to make - but I can customize the shape of the creation according to your requirements, including cloaks, hats, and gloves."

Delis almost choked on his own saliva.

Two hundred galleons! This is really a huge sum of money!

The monthly salary of Delis is fifty galleons, which is already an extremely decent job in the magic world. But this glove required him to go without food or water for four months before he could buy it.

In fact, as a moonlighter, although Delis has a decent job, he also spends a lot of money: the loan for a new house, daily expenses at the bar, tickets for Quidditch matches, various novel toys... just now He spent a lot of money at Tom's place, but he could find an excuse to reimburse those biscuits. This kind of gloves for personal use will definitely not be reimbursed.

Two hundred galleons means that Delis will have a hard time next. Upon hearing this offer, the haze and unwillingness in Naya's eyes dissipated. Ten times the price, but not ten times the improvement, and you still have to wait a week. As for the form, Naya felt that there was no other choice except gloves or rings.

hat? Do you shake your head when fighting? cloak? How do you want to trigger this protective spell?

Delis's face changed for a while, and he fell into a tangle in his heart.

"Okay." Finally, he made up his mind. This glove has to be taken down even if you are trying to sell iron. Naya next to her looked surprised: Is Delis crazy? Buying such an expensive alchemical creation?

"Please pay a deposit of twenty galleons."

"Of course." Delis emptied his wallet with a stiff expression. Every time he took out a coin, his expression looked as if a piece of flesh had been cut off.

These coins seemed to be pierced through his ribs, and every time he took out one, it made him feel heartbroken.
