The first victim was infected when he went to the toilet while playing games with his friends in an empty classroom. Because there was a mirror on the washbasin in the bathroom, he survived by chance.

Then there was the black cat Loris, who was hit by the water on the ground.

The last one was Justin Finch-Fletchley, who turned the Malfoy trio into giant slugs. He was protected by Gryffindor's resident ghost, "Nearly Headless Nick".

Before being attacked, he yelled insults at Harry because he misunderstood that Harry controlled a poisonous snake to attack him.

The coincidence was so seamless that all the fingers were pointed at Harry, and he didn't believe it wasn't Dumbledore who was behind the plan.

In addition, because he pretended to be shocked by Parseltongue on the side, it was a little fake, and Snape reminded him afterwards.

Colin, who was supposed to be recruited, was not petrified because of the protection of the Pingya people. After all, the newspaper office needed someone to provide photos.

Although he doesn't understand Parseltongue, Blackie can feel the Basilisk's movements, so he can guide Colin to avoid the Basilisk in advance.

By the way, after the transformation, Xiao Hei said through the shikigami contract that there was a voice that had been tempting Xiao Hei to kill him.

If the shikigami contract hadn't been strong enough with the blessing of the Blood Sakura Spirit Lock, Xiao Hei would probably have taken action.

But it's no problem now, the influence of that voice on Xiao Hei is almost zero.

Regarding this, Ping Yaren actually knew that the Blood Sakura Spirit Lock would often give feedback, reminding him that Xiao Hei wanted to violate the contract.

But he never blamed Xiao Hei. After all, Xiao Hei was just a pet in the late mortal realm at that time.

They are not qualified to be recognized as spiritual beasts by the system.

Moreover, it was just a remnant soul. After completing Dumbledore's mission, he didn't mind doing it himself.

He now needs to guide the Harry trio to discover the right information at the right time. Coupled with the teaching tasks, he is very busy.

Sometimes he wants to just leave this group of students alone like he did with Gouda Tiger...

And Hagrid has not bothered him recently. After all, when the Chamber of Secrets was opened fifty years ago, he was the one who took the blame for Voldemort.

It used to be that Xiao Hei could divert his attention, but now that he has received a large amount of money from Ping Ya, he is always a little awkward when facing Ping Ya.

This is the case with a particularly honest person. Once he feels that he owes you too much, he will not bother you too much and can tolerate your offense very generously.

In addition, Xiao Hei definitely looked down on ordinary snakes now, so he had no intention of doing so. He just finished his work dully every day and kept vigil with a crossbow at night.

…

One night after Christmas, the Pingya people were making magic wands using alchemy.

He didn't know how many points he would need to bring out Xiao Hei, the [Whisper of Light] wand and the three magic books after the mission was over, so he tried his best to take the high-quality route.

Anyway, the money belongs to the Acromantula, and one pin is worth one hundred gold galleons. Judging from the amount in the Forbidden Forest, this is no different from robbing money.

He only needs to use illusions and [Wings of Sleep] to harvest more than 50 liters in one night.

One liter is about two pints, which is ten thousand gold galleons. It is a real profit without any capital. Now he even wants to buy dragon eggs.

It was a pity that the massive collection of venom for more than a month had caused widespread weakness and death among the Acromantulas, forcing him to take some time off.

There is still half a year left, and the chicken that lays the golden eggs must be raised well.

Back to the topic, a huge amount of gold galleons brought a lot of good wood to the Pingya people, and he soaked it with potions according to the knowledge in the book.

But the wand core is very troublesome. A good wand core must be of one of those types: dragon, phoenix, thestral, or unicorn.

They are all pipe products.

Fortunately, Dumbledore gave him quite generous gifts. In addition to Fawkes's phoenix tail feathers, there was also a thunderbird tail feather and some unicorn and thestral manes.

Before, he had been using cheap poplar wood and cheap Acromantula cardiac cords to practice, but had never succeeded.

The day before yesterday, after he thoroughly mastered the knowledge gained from the skill book in his mind, and finally used these two materials to make the first usable wand, he planned to have a big play today.

That is the composite wand core.

The so-called composite wand core refers to the use of two or more materials as the wand core, which was very common in the era of Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw.

After all, the wizards were in crisis at that time and no one had time to collect enough materials.

Take unicorn hair as an example. Do you think that only one unicorn hair is enough for the core of the wand?

No, it's a handful.

At that time, everyone was working hard to get a wand core, so composite wand cores became all the rage.

However, anyone with Voldemort's nostrils knows that wands with composite cores are definitely unstable. When the crisis is over, pure cores will naturally return to the mainstream.

Therefore, this part of the knowledge given to him by Lady Ravenclaw was not published.

Yes, the smartest wizard in the magic world had already figured out how to stabilize the composite core of the wand, but releasing it at that time was better than nothing, and might even attract the ridicule of the fools at the time.

So it was easier for him.

The Pingya people took out the manes of the unicorn and thestral that had been treated with the pure spirit fire, and twisted the two together.

Dumbledore didn't give him much in the first place, so he separated them to refine at most two wands, and after processing, they were just enough to be used as one wand core.

The core theory of stable composite stick core is the triangle theory. When there are two materials as the stick core, the requirements for the stick body will increase accordingly.

So Pingya people chose a branch from a yew tree that is more than a thousand years old.

Voldemort's wand is yew, and in the realm of duels and all curses, yew wands have always maintained a status that overlooks the mountains.

But in fact, the wands of many heroes in history were also yew, and if the yew is buried with its owner, the yew will usually grow into a tree and guard the grave of the deceased.

There are several yew trees planted next to the cemetery where Voldemort was resurrected.

So if you ask what kind of tree is most suitable for balancing the power of the Thestral, which represents the night, and the unicorn, which represents the light, Pingya people think that the purple shirt is the most suitable.

Spiritual cherry blossoms? Forget it, they are all accepting the improvements of Baohua Sakura, so forget it.

The branches of the yew tree, which are more than a thousand years old, gradually shed their surface bark in the specially formulated medicine.

The branches that stretched out also gradually retracted. After only three days of soaking, a nearly straight branch was slowly formed.

Even if it is not the first time they see it, Pingya people will still marvel at Ravenclaw's wisdom. Almost all of the methods for making wands he found outside the restricted area were cutting and then carving.

Only Lady Ravenclaw taught him how to use potions to condense the spirituality of wood.

The boss is the boss.

Take out the wooden branches, shake them dry, and then slightly process them with the spiritual fire to make the wood firmer and the spirituality purer.
