Chapter 404 Goblin Wand Factory
A long time ago, goblins were a very powerful magical race, otherwise they would not be able to compete with wizards for the leadership position in the magical world.
However, with the development of the times, human development is unstoppable. Such as the founding of ancient Rome!
At a time when the magical world was not separated from ordinary society, the influence of human prosperity inevitably affected the magical world.
As humans became stronger and stronger, wizards also became stronger and stronger, and finally overtook the absolute leadership of the magic world more than two thousand years ago.
If we use Eastern language, it is called "the great prosperity of the human race is destiny and cannot be violated." Other magical races can only settle for the second best.
In the days that followed, human beings became more and more prosperous and their numbers increased, beginning to occupy every corner of the world, leaving many magical races with no place to hide.
Until three hundred years ago, in modern times, the Secrecy Act was introduced, and the magical world began to be separated from ordinary society.
The purpose is to use the power of magic to unite the vast majority of magic races and strive for an independent living space for the magic world.
However, this also further enhances the status of wizards and further squeezes the activity areas of other magical races. After all, it is expressly stipulated by law that they are not allowed to be exposed to Muggles. I can only hide.
Forget about other magical races, they can only rely on wizards. Originally, the population was not large, so we had to bear the burden of our own suffering, and the evil wizards were responsible for it.
But goblins are different!
After the overall power of the magic world declined, they became very dissatisfied, and their little actions never stopped.
Decades before the Statute of Secrecy was enacted, in 1612, the goblins of England rebelled once.
The goblin rebellion took place near Hogsmeade, and the current Three Broomsticks Tavern once served as the liaison headquarters for wizards.
After the promulgation of the Secrecy Act in 1692, another 60 years passed in 1752, and the goblins could no longer bear it anymore and rebelled again!
The rebellion was mishandled, causing the entire British wizarding world to fall into flames of war, and the then Minister of Magic resigned.
Two months after the next minister came, his strength increased greatly because the goblins successfully formed an alliance with the werewolves! Taking the blame and resigning again...
The leader of the goblin rebellion this time, the sloppy ghost Lara, was even featured in a chocolate frog cartoon in the magical world that records celebrities because of this "feat".
The most recent goblin rebellion was in 1865…
After this rebellion, the British Ministry of Magic made a compromise and allowed the goblins to take over Gringotts in an attempt to prevent the continuation of the rebellion.
You must know that most Gringotts in other countries are in the hands of wizards.
Only Gringotts in the UK is completely in the hands of goblins.
Almost 90% of the employees are goblins, and only some wizards are hired for very insignificant positions.
This is the only chain bank in the magic world!
Perhaps the officials of the British Ministry of Magic at the time thought that they would be satisfied if the goblins controlled the circulation of wealth in the Ministry of Magic.
But they underestimated the ambitions of the goblins. They have never given up their dream of restoring the country!
Although the Goblin Renaissance Faction and the Goblin Revenge Army have not caused any major troubles in recent years, they have gained a reputation as famous troublemakers. The action never stopped.
Especially since they now control the economic circulation of the British magical world, they have a kind of contempt for wizards.
At present, the banking system of the British wizarding world, most of the deposits of wizards, and 70% to 80% of the production and sales of magic metals...are all in the hands of goblins!
After the emergence of other alien magical races in the past ten years, the goblins are even more ready to take action. They have secretly collected many thugs like hobgoblins, bugbears, and ogres, and their strength has skyrocketed.
If it were me, I would also feel that I am superior to others!
Ted thought: "The three goblin rebellions were all separated by more than a hundred years, and this latest one is more than a hundred years ago! Is it about time? The goblins have to come back once in every generation!"
…
The goblin plans to start a fourth rebellion. There is no need to think too much about the reason. After all, it is considered a traditional custom and an ancestral craft.
Now what Ted needs to consider is, what is he going to do in this matter?
First of all, you must not just sit on the sidelines.
Although it is said that there will be a tall person to hold up when the sky falls, but now I am not short anymore, and I can be regarded as attracting attention.
And I can’t stand having to bend over like this every day.
Dumbledore doesn’t know what he is busy with right now... he is busy! Everyone is busy! It’s better to be busy~
And Fudge definitely didn't hold his **** in this either. Maybe you want to do something with this wave of goblin rebellion.
Can Ted get what he wants? !
Can’t!
Not to mention that they also injured the old cat lady!
I thought there was no one at Hogwarts, right? !
Ted contacted Barty Jr.
"I have found out some information. The goblins are hoarding power and planning to rebel. Fudge may be in contact with them and has his own little plan. You can use this as an opportunity to break into it."
Little Barty accepted this almost instantly - because this is the last year of Fudge's administration, and the Ministry of Magic will have an election in a few months!
The person calling for the loudest right now is Amelia Bones, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement.
This lady's brother, Edgar Bones, was a member of the first Order of the Phoenix. His whole family (wife and children) were killed by Death Eaters.
She has never been married and is determined to avenge her brother. He hates evil as much as he hates it, is fair and honest, and is highly respected!
The Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement has always been a popular figure in the ministerial election, not to mention that Ms. Bones herself is also very prestigious.
Fudge is in danger~
In this case, if you don’t sit back and wait for death, it is normal to do something extraordinary. Politicians, you can't count on their integrity.
"I understand Master." Now that we know Fudge's purpose, it will be much easier to do what he likes, and little Barty is very good at this kind of thing.
"Does Fudge have anyone who can help you? Is there any hindrance to you?" Ted asked.
Little Barty was an extremely smart man, and he immediately understood what Ted meant: "My master, Robert Corbucci, the deputy director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, was promoted by Fudge to try to check and balance Amelia Bo. Director Enns. Moreover, he is an Auror and has a certain influence on the Auror Office. He is 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 that I will fill his vacancy and be Secretary Fudge’s right-hand man.”
"Um."
After Ted received the whereabouts of the unlucky guy, he contacted Lucius again.
“Mr. Lucius?”
"I am here."
"I've got the exact information. The goblins are rebelling, and Fudge is connected to them."
"What?! Is he crazy?" When Lucius heard the news, he was not as calm as Barty Jr.
Obviously he doesn’t know the current Fudge as well as Barty Jr.
Although he also "died once," Lucius faked his death, while Barty Jr. died for real. After dying once, everything becomes clearer.
Ted patiently said: "For the position of Minister of Magic, it's not surprising that he is crazy. If he loses the election this year, he might be liquidated. If it were Qin, would you be a little crazy?"
“Then, what should I do?” Lucius asked. He suddenly heard the news and was a little confused.
Although he is considered to be one of the more knowledgeable members of the pure-blood wizard family, he has never experienced this.
After all, he is a small elite in a small society, which is almost meaningless.
If this was a wizard who grew up in South America or Southeast Asia, rebellion would be like eating, and killing would be like breathing, and would not be taken seriously at all.
Ted said: "Perhaps, you should contact Draco. Your training goal has been achieved, you can't keep going, right?"
“And you can secretly assist him in contacting Sirius, wooing some pure-blood families, and getting some benefits out of this goblin rebellion…”
Lucius obviously heard it and was very moved.
Poor Draco, after finally spending half a year to accept the reality that his beloved father passed away, he suddenly had to accept the reality that his father had actually lied to him.
I just hope that the training during this period, as well as the training in Utopia and the game, will make him tough enough.
Speaking of which, although Ted disliked the theory of pure blood, it was that small group of people who were truly influential in the British magical community.
The population is still too small, and a society of 30,000 people is too solidified.
So, if the Malfoy and Black families unite a group of pure-blood wizards, they will have a strong ability to deal with the goblin rebellion. And you can get more benefits after the war.
As a member of your own family, it’s understandable to give you more benefits when encountering problems, right?
Then Ted went to deal with Robert, the deputy director of the Legal Department.
It was almost dawn now, and Ted had been busy for almost thirty hours. Deal with him first before it's time to go to work.
Ted apparated to a familiar street nearby. At this time, he already took the form of a bearded adult wizard.
While it was still dark, Ted broke into Robert's house silently.
Don't tell me, this person is a bit worried, and he is worthy of being an Auror. He even set up double triggering magic traps.
It’s a pity that Ted’s current actions are all covered in the mirror space and then done directly. This method is completely insufficient. It only took thirty 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 the air, so that he could only kick his legs randomly in the air.
Ted didn't explain it, didn't want to pay attention to it, and just threw it into Utopia.
However, this person didn’t know Fudge’s ultimate goal. He only knew that he wanted to do something extraordinary for the election. And he 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 one of his own.
Ted was quite satisfied with Fudge, at least he was more cautious and didn't tell anyone his secrets. Looks a bit like it.
Afterwards, Ted arranged some traces and pretended that it was done by a dark wizard. Ok, withdraw!
You have to go to the goblin wand factory!
The main reason why Ted did not kill Robert was that although this man was from Fudge, he had done nothing evil.
There are only a few people in the magic world, so if you kill one, you will lose one. If you can't help it, you won't kill.
Arrest him first, and when Fudge falls, won’t this person become mine?
What? Don’t obey? !
Is there anyone in Utopia who doesn’t follow me, Ted? !
Have you ever heard of Infinite Tsukuyomi?
It is estimated that this step will not be needed, and the memory will be sealed directly and thrown into the "Magic World" as an NPC. The moment his memory is restored, he will be scared to death.
What is the difference between a person who has lost his self and his past and who has died?
When the time comes to recall the experience during this period, he will listen to whatever you say.
Besides, for a person like this "Western Material Wei Junjie", can he still 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 - think of it as a magical Turing test!
Robert, do you want a wife?
You are an old bachelor, you picked it up, do you know?
After this operation, if he still dares to resist Ted's will, Ted is willing to call him the most powerful species!
…
The wand is the finest invention in the wizarding world.
Magic is a kind of power that operates according to people's wishes and achieves miracles.
The problem is that many people’s minds are unstable, which can lead to magic malfunction or loss of control.
Thousands of years before the wand was invented, it was very difficult for wizards to cast spells.
The appearance of the magic wand makes up for this.
It is like a magic remote control, allowing wizards to easily and calmly command their magic power to accomplish their goals.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools!
Not only wizards, but also other magical races.
It can be said that the emergence of the magic wand has broadened the field of magic.
This effect is especially reflected in the repeated rebellions of goblins.
Only the top few goblins without wands can fight against wizards. So all three rebellions ended in failure.
Now, magic wands have become even more taboo, and goblins are 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 wands!
In many countries, one family may have passed down the craftsmanship for hundreds of years.
And the finished product must be reported to the local Ministry of Magic. It's almost like Muggles producing guns. Do you think that Tracer is just for detecting little wizards casting magic outside?
Although the goblins have always wanted to get their hands on the wand, they really have no other choice but to **** it from the dead wizard.
But now, taking advantage of the unprecedented changes that have occurred in the other world, the goblins have actually found an opportunity.
Speaking of which, this goblin wand factory has something to do with Ted.
Among Ted's knowledge of other worlds, he has obtained the alchemy knowledge of the world of Azeroth, which includes the ability to enchant, and the enchanting ability also includes some knowledge of making wands.
There is no external story about Ted, but there are already a lot of things from the world of Azeroth that have spread to this world.
Common magical plants such as Ningshen flower and thorn grass, as well as uncommon magical ores, equipment, and books, all exist!
The goblins are some knowledge obtained from an enchanted book in Azeroth.
In order to decipher the above text, they spent at least eight thousand gold galleons on many divination and spellcasting materials.
The above records a low-level method of making a wand.
The goblins invested a lot of financial and material resources in replacing and experimenting with materials. In the end, although it was still not as good as the wands made by Ollivander and the others, it was still slightly better than nothing.
But coincidentally, in "Magic World", Ted published some relevant knowledge!
After all, a wizard can play games without a wand?
Magic wands from the real world can’t be directly brought into the game, right?
So, the magic wand can be regarded as one of the must-do series of tasks.
Belongs to a series of tasks that novice players have to fight for after creating a character until they reach level 20.
After completion, all materials and conditions have been met, and you can make your own wand.
Of course, if you get tired of being a wizard, there are other options.
Such as magic swords, magic daggers, magic books, magic rings and other substitutes, it depends on the occupation.
Ted did not explain all the information and knowledge in such detail. Unless someone like Ollivander is a wand maker, it is impossible to make a wand in reality based on the information in the game.
But as luck would have it, the fairy has already spent a lot of money to get started.
Now all of a sudden, Ted's whoring was in vain!
…
Ted dropped the goblin in his hand. The news he just got from his mind made his face turn green with anger.
Made, are you prostituted to me for free? !
I have been a **** for half my life in vain, and today I was also raped by someone!
You always have to pay back when you go out for prostitution!
Ted planted a hint of a backdoor in the gatekeeper's mind, treating it as a convenient chess piece.
Then turn invisible and continue exploring the wand factory.
Perhaps it is an ancestral craft. This wand factory is underground. It must be more than forty meters deep!
After Ted entered it, he discovered that this thing was not an underground space. But a super-large fairy ground drill!
This thing Ted had seen in the memory of the four guardian professors of the previous generation under Hogwarts.
This is the inheritance of fairies!
This guy must have weighed dozens of tons, several times larger than the one who dug holes in my memory. I'm afraid it didn't cost the goblins decades of magic metal reserves, right?
Apparently, in order to ensure the safety of the wand factory, the underground factory will be moved every once in a while to avoid being discovered. Afterwards, the traces of underground drilling will also be restored by magic.
That’s clever, dear~
This stuff is great, I’ve made a reservation!
Ted is like an invisible memory stealer, scanning all the goblins passing by one by one, checking their memories and searching for relevant information.
There are about fifty to sixty goblins in this goblin wand factory.
There are thirty or forty of them who are all guards, and they are also equipped with hidden sentries and so on.
There are only eight goblins who actually make wands, and the youngest one also has a wrinkled face. It seems that they are all old craftsmen of the goblins.
And they are all produced on an assembly line, rather than purely handmade. Although the quality is average, the output is much higher!
There must be seven or eight branches a day, which is something Ollivander and the others cannot achieve at all.
Ted found the leader among these people. After taking control of him in that palatial office, dig through his memories.
This person can be placed in a place like this, his status is not low, and he finally learned a lot of useful information.
This rebellion has been prepared by the goblins for more than 20 years. It started when Voldemort wreaked havoc on the British wizarding world.
Originally, I wanted to rebel after Voldemort brought the wizarding world into disarray, so that the wizards' resistance and awareness of resistance would be very low.
Maybe some of Voldemort’s enemies will turn to him!
Unexpectedly, Voldemort was defeated at the hands of a baby. The defeat was a bit 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 some support, not just the wand factory... so they started to take action officially!
Rely on! What else do the fairies have to rely on?
Oh, by the way, there’s Fudge.
Fudge is indeed secretly in contact with the goblins. It's just that the goblins don't really believe him.
Ted wondered, maybe I could make them dog eat dog? !
