Naya caressed 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 knows very well what an advantage it is to be able to cast an Iron Armor Charm instantly in a duel. This spell brings unlimited possibilities. It can make the winner of a closely matched duel immediately, and it can also make people in a situation
The disadvantaged self takes a breath.
Naya was confident that with the help of this glove, she would be able to give her colleagues a "surprise". For this reason, she did not hesitate to cut off her face and cut off the beard directly from Delis.
How can someone like Delis deserve this glove?
"One price, twenty galleons." Tom reported the price. This glove was not a product of Feilu and George, it was made by him himself. It was made by hand, so naturally it had 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 Charm, which was very practical and even
The Ministry of Magic has placed a large order.
They probably didn't use alchemy, but used some strange magic spells to attach the iron armor spell to the clothes. This touches on Tom's knowledge blind spot.
The advantage of their 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 quotation, both Delis and Naya opened their eyes wide. Not because Tom 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 there are still many shortcomings." Tom knew very well that he set a ridiculously low price. Twenty galleons for a glove that can cast the Iron Armor Curse, and two thousand yuan for it.
A 20 series graphics card is just as outrageous.
The 20-series graphics card bought for two thousand yuan is most likely a mining card, and Tom's 20 Galleons curse-proof 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 damage the magic text on the gloves.
..." Tom told the shortcomings of the anti-curse gloves very honestly, without any concealment.
After all, he is facing an Auror from the Ministry of Magic. Tom is a principled person and he will not cheat decent people. He has a very flexible moral bottom line, and his bottom line can be very low when facing people he doesn't like.
Naya nodded repeatedly. She knew that buying a glove that could bounce back infinite spells at this price was a fool's errand. However, it was an unexpected surprise that the mysterious boy in front of her was willing to tell her all these things.
Tom's principle of making this kind of filled alchemical 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 combination of magic words is combined
It's not complicated, so he can make it in a short time.
Can higher-end alchemical creations be made? Of course, it can, but it will take more time. Tom can certainly make the kind of alchemical creations that can release magic without filling in spells.
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.
One has to tear it down and start over again, as different spells and magic texts are arranged differently.
This is a delicate job—you’ll have to pay extra!
Hearing that this glove had so many shortcomings, Delis felt a little better. However, when he saw his colleague paying for the glove without hesitation, he still became sour.
"Then can you..." Delis rolled his eyes, wondering if Tom could make higher-end alchemical creations. To his surprise, 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 lit up all of a sudden. He only needed to input magic power to release it? And it was used repeatedly? How could such a good thing happen? It was like bringing a shield as an auxiliary during battle.
Hearing that there was a better version, Naya's heart was suddenly filled with a layer of gloom.
"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 told you to cut off 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! That’s a lot of money!
Delix's monthly salary is fifty galleons, which is already the most decent job in the magic world. But this glove requires him to go without food and water for four months before he can 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 novelty toys... He just said
Tom spent a lot of money here, but those biscuits can be reimbursed with some excuse. The gloves for personal use certainly cannot be reimbursed.
Two hundred galleons means that Delis will have a hard time in the future. Hearing this quotation, the haze and unwillingness in Naya's eyes dissipated. Ten times the price does not bring ten times the improvement, and she has to wait for another
Week - As for the form, Naya feels there is 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. He wanted to get this glove even if he tried to sell it. Naya next to him showed a surprised look: Is Delis crazy? Buying such an expensive alchemy creation?
"Please pay a deposit of twenty galleons."
"That's natural." 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.
