Chapter 140: What I Learned While Traveling the World

"Of course, it doesn't consume the manipulator's magic." Tom took out the remaining piece of magic silver. He had turned this piece of magic silver into a large magic reservoir that could stably input and output magic.

Tom handed the cylindrical device to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall held it in her hand and felt the extraordinary nature of this metal: it was slowly devouring her magic like a vortex. Soon, there was a subtle surge of magic in the round core, and Professor McGonagall also felt a trace of fatigue, a sign of magic overdraft.

"Is this magic silver? I remember seeing reports a long time ago that alchemists invented such a metal." The characteristics of this metal touched Professor McGonagall's memory. "But this is the first time I've seen the finished product."

She looked at the magic silver and felt that with its help, she could indeed save some magic: just charge it when it's idle.

Tom took the "charged" magic silver from Professor McGonagall and inserted it into a hole reserved in the chest of the puppet. At the same time, he removed a small cylinder from the magic silver. This small cylinder and the large cylinder of the magic silver were exactly the same, just much smaller.

This magic silver battery—or it would be more reasonable to call it a magic pool—was Tom's achievement this afternoon. He carved a few runic groups on it, allowing it to not only serve as a magic reservoir but also to resonate remotely, or "resonate."

Both the small and large cylinders had a set of resonant runes carved on them. With these runes, the commands given to the small cylinder by Tom could also be synchronized to the large cylinder. However, the transmission distance of the commands was limited and could not exceed seven meters. Beyond seven meters, a synchronization device had to be installed to relay the commands.

"Professor Flitwick, I'll trouble you to solidify various curses on the puppet. Of course, to prevent students from getting hurt, you also need to solidify the corresponding counter-curses."

Solidifying curses on objects is a common practice in the magical world. Merchants will solidify various strange spells on items to facilitate the lives of wizards, and incidentally, they can sell the goods at a higher price. For Professor Flitwick, this operation was not difficult.

He took out his wand, chanted some incantations, and one curse after another, along with their counter-curses, emanated from the tip of his wand, solidifying on the surface of the puppet's body, creating strange patterns on the wooden surface.

About fifteen minutes later, Professor Flitwick completed his work. Now, the puppet's entire body was covered with mysterious patterns, and these patterns faintly revealed a sense of malice, making anyone who looked at it shudder.

Tom brought a full-body armor and put it on the puppet. This set of armor was used to protect the patterns on the surface of the puppet. Tom didn't want to go to Professor Flitwick for repairs every one or two classes.

Covering it with armor could effectively prevent these patterns from being damaged. Moreover, various defensive spells could be applied to the armor.

About half an hour later, with the joint efforts of the three professors, the puppet was configured with most of the common curses in the magical world, and the armor also solidified several practical protective spells.

"If students can withstand seventy percent of the curses on it and then learn the corresponding protective spells, I am sure they can get an excellent grade in both the Curses class and Dark Arts Defense."

Professor Flitwick wiped the sweat from his forehead. "If they can do that, they'll be well-prepared for the O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. exams."

Professor McGonagall applied a Transfiguration spell to the puppet, making it move flexibly, perform various complex actions, and instinctively attack creatures in front of it.

This required extremely advanced Transfiguration skills, and Tom felt that there might not be many wizards in the British magical world who could do it. However, the use of Transfiguration in wizard duels has always been very high.

If the strength gap between the two sides is huge, a wizard can directly turn the opponent into an animal. Unlike Animagus transformations, wizards transformed into animals cannot maintain their sanity and can be easily controlled. When the strength difference is not large, Transfiguration can be used to turn surrounding objects into weapons. For example, turning a round pebble into a sharp projectile and throwing it at the opponent.

For top wizards like Dumbledore, they would start a duel with Transfiguration, making the sculptures around them move and become their minions and shields. Wizards of Dumbledore's caliber either had exquisite Transfiguration skills or needed to have good summoning abilities. Anyway, when the opponent brought out minions, it's best to have your own minions; otherwise, you would fall into a disadvantage.

Looking at the puppet's bald head, Tom looked at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall sighed: Well, it seems that we still need some fancy touches.

She waved her wand, and a fair face appeared on the round wooden head. At the same time, golden hair grew out, and a pair of green eyes appeared in the eye sockets of the puppet.

Professor McGonagall looked at Tom: Are you satisfied now?

Tom: Very satisfied!

"Very well, the semi-automatic combat puppet is almost complete!" Tom was very satisfied. "Give her a name. What do you think of the name 'Sister'?"

Professor McGonagall waved her hand, indicating that the name was not important to her.

"I thought you would name it something like 'Knight'." Although Professor Flitwick inserted a sentence, he didn't have much opinion. They were more concerned about the production behind it because so far, this puppet was still a semi-finished product. The critical final part still needed Professor Lohart to complete.

Tom just casually said that if the students didn't like this name, he could change it.

The two of them looked at Professor Lohart, who sat back in his chair and took out a large worktable.

Next, he took out a wooden stick and a feather from the drawer.

McGonagall and Flitwick: ?

Looking at Professor Lohart's actions, no matter how they looked at it, it seemed like... he was making a wand?

"I learned some wand-making techniques when I was traveling the world." Tom answered the doubts in the hearts of the two professors without raising his head.

"Walnut, fifteen inches, bird-snake feather." Soon, Tom selected the main body of the wand. Walnut was related to several ancient European legends, and under the walnut tree was considered a gathering place for witches. As for the wand core, of course, Tom was familiar with bird-snake feathers.

It was like building a power plant next to a coal mine. If you didn't burn coal, would you use wind power?

McGonagall and Flitwick looked at each other: Gyro Lohart's experience while traveling the world is quite rich!

They watched as Lohart's carving knife and chisel flew up and down. Soon, the walnut branch in his hand turned into the appearance of a wand.
