Chapter 772 Price (seeking monthly ticket recommendation ticket)
"Good question." Nick nodded approvingly, "As the only person left in this world who has had direct contact with Hai Erbo, I naturally have a way to identify him."

After finishing speaking, the magical power suddenly surged on Nick, and then a dangerous wave radiated from him. This wave of magic can directly affect and interfere with the nerves of the surrounding creatures, causing people to feel panic involuntarily.

"You should be able to recognize this magic, right?" Nick, who was constantly emitting magic power, looked at Anduin with a smile.

"This is a fear technique."

Anduin could see the magic Nick used at a glance, and he also knew this kind of fear technique himself. Even in the previous copy of Hopeless Town, he had covered and used it on a large scale.

"It seems that you are not unfamiliar with it, that's good." Nick put away his magic power in satisfaction, "Since you know this magic, you should also know that it came from Hai Erbo."

Anduin nodded. It was no secret to wizards who were familiar with history and spells. Haierbo invented a lot of black magic back then, and the fear technique could be said to be the famous stunt of the opponent.

"From the experience we summed up in the past, a large area with Haierbo's activities is shrouded in extremely high concentrations of fear, and even Muggles can detect abnormalities in such places."

"In the past few hundred years, we have heard many rumors like someone breaking into a frightening mysterious space."

"It's just that when we followed the rumors to find the past, we still couldn't catch Haierbo's tail, but occasionally we could still perceive traces of the other party's stay. It's a pity that the information is too late, so we can easily miss it."

"So, as long as you crash into an area with a fear spell, it may be Haierbo's hiding place, and it will be much easier to search for it."

Immediately afterwards, Nick took out a piece of parchment from his body and handed it to Anduin, "This is a special spell I developed specifically for the detection of fear technique."

"As long as it is an alchemy item engraved with this spell, it can quickly identify whether there is fear around it and issue an early warning."

"With it, together with the magic net and a large number of alchemy props connected to the magic net..." Nicol introduced, while looking at Anduin meaningfully.

At this time, Anduin looked at the blueprint in his hand with a speechless face.

For some reason, he suddenly had the feeling that he had been fooled. Nick, the old guy, was too well prepared, right?Even the drawings are prepared in advance.

At first, Anduin thought that he was here to ask the teacher for his crimes, but now he realized that he seemed to have plunged into the trap carefully designed by the other party.

Anduin naturally understood what Nick meant. He wanted him to install a back door in his alchemy tool to monitor the fear technique.

As long as there is an abnormality, notify Nick, and then shake people to do Hai Erbo.

But this kind of thing is not as simple as imagined in practice.

First of all, the magic net has not been fully rolled out, and it will take several years to cover such a large area.

And installing a back door on the communicator, although it is not too difficult for him, is not a small project.

From the drawing, he could see how complicated the spell was, which would greatly increase the material cost, production cost and production cycle of the communicator.

The advantage of the magic net is that as long as it expands, it can seamlessly connect various regions together like the Internet, with almost no national boundaries.

This is much more unified and efficient than the alchemy rooms established in the Ministry of Magic of various countries. Presumably Nick also took this into consideration before focusing on his magic net.

From this point of view, the magic net may be the only choice for the opponent at present.

After thinking clearly, Anduin suddenly put on a straight face, "Then what price is Mr. Flamel willing to pay for this?"

He didn't want to work for Nick for nothing, even though the other party said how evil He Erbo was, and how righteous his actions were, but the one who really worked hard was him Anduin!

Let him work for no benefit!

Seeing Anduin put on such a business-like posture, Nick couldn't help but smile wryly, no wonder the other party can make such a big business, he is really a guy who doesn't see the rabbit and doesn't throw the eagle.

"Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing. As for the reward..." Nick glanced at the wooden box on the table that hadn't been put away, "How about paying with the Philosopher's Stone?"

"In addition, as long as you are willing to help, all the knowledge I have collected here can be opened to you. At the same time, I will also use my influence to promote the process of laying the magic net for you. After all, the more the magic net is opened, the more Haier can be found. The greater the chance of wave."

"Are you willing to give up the Philosopher's Stone? It is a matter of life and death to you!"

To be honest, Anduin didn't expect Nick to be so rich, he wondered if the other party had never had a business negotiation.

No one would just go all in, and Anduin couldn't find a reason to refuse for a while.

"Hehe..." Nick was very calm when talking about life and death, "For an old man who has lived for hundreds of years, death is not as terrible as he imagined. In comparison, loneliness and depression are more frightening." pain."

"I have escaped for too long. If I can kill this enemy in my lifetime, it will be more gratifying than eternal life."

"Of course, before handing over the Philosopher's Stone to you completely, I will prepare enough elixirs for myself and Perenal."

"I see." Anduin was moved by Nick's realization, "Well, I am willing to accept your proposal. From next week onwards, the new communicators will be equipped with spells to detect fear, as long as I find the corresponding spells in the background. If there is any clue, we will notify you as soon as possible.”

Nick did not immediately express joy when he heard the words, but reaffirmed, "This process may take several years, more than ten years, and may even never yield anything, which means that the time and resources you invest may be endless. Have you thought about it?"

"The reward you gave is worth my investment. If you are worried that I will go back on my word, we can sign an unbreakable oath for this." Anduin said calmly.

In fact, he also agreed after some calculations and considerations. In terms of cost alone, it will not directly lead to losses, but just make less money. This depends on his efficient industrial system. Can't take on such a big job.

"Well, we'll make a contract later." Faced with this serious matter, Nick would not be so naive as to trust Anduin based on Anduin's verbal guarantee. An unbreakable oath is the basis of trust.

Afterwards, the two finalized the details, and Anduin would leave with Dumbledore later, and return here alone to sign the contract the next day, when Perenal would be their notary.

As for the Philosopher's Stone, Nick had to be returned for half a year to allow him to store enough elixir of life. Anduin actually said that even if the Philosopher's Stone was with him, he could supply the elixir of life for the two of them.

But Nick politely declined, and Anduin could see that the old man wanted to end his life from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps the other party has already arranged for him to die, and no matter if Anduin can find Haierbo or not, he will resolutely go to the end.

As for the materials and knowledge collected by Nick, Anduin can come and get them at will, and Nick also said that he will pass on his skills to others.

After finalizing the agreement, Anduin returned to his original state, chatting with Dumbledore and the LeMays about some things.

Although Dumbledore guessed what happened between Anduin and Nick, he didn't ask more out of politeness. He just left here after having dinner with the Flamel couple.

Then, in the next few days, Anduin traveled back and forth between the French manor, LeMay's house, and the British headquarters.

On the one hand, he had to stop the production line of the existing communicators, video cameras and other props, and switch to new manufacturing drawings. This workload was not small, and Anduin barely finished it after three consecutive nights.

On the other hand, Anduin is also very interested in the knowledge collected by Nick, so despite his busy work schedule, he is eager to find some time to study every day.

As for the French Valley Manor, Anduin basically used it as a transit station, and every time he showed up, he just passed by in a flash, and he didn't even have time to care about what those little kids were doing.

And after finishing the production line, Anduin focused his energy on Le May's house, absorbing magic knowledge to his heart's content, as if he had returned to his student days.

It has to be said that Nick Flamel is indeed the greatest alchemist in the world. He has collected a large number of rare magic materials, including not only alchemy, but also history, encyclopedias, runes, spells, and spells. medicine and so on.

There are many magical documents that have disappeared from the long river of history, many of which Anduin only said he had heard of, or only collected a small part, including rare spells such as 'soul tracing'.

Unfortunately, even with Nick, there are not many new clues about the Deathly Hallows.

It seems that after getting the Philosopher's Stone, Nick lost interest in the three holy artifacts that claimed to be the master of the god of death, so he didn't specifically collect the corresponding information.

And in terms of the most helpful and valuable to the current Anduin, there is nothing more than the material formula, especially the magic alloy formula.

Yes, Anduin learned how to make [Lemel Alloy].

Of course, it doesn't mean that [Flame Alloy] is really that simple to make, it's just that the threshold is relatively high, because the main raw material for making this rare alloy is the Sorcerer's Stone.

A derivative produced by the Sorcerer's Stone must be used to synthesize the real Lemay alloy, and except for the Sorcerer's Stone, the rest of the auxiliary materials are not very expensive.

In other words, as long as he had the Philosopher's Stone, a material that was even rarer than refined mithril, he could almost ask for anything.

But Anduin was very curious why Nick didn't produce more Lemel alloys. This kind of material has a very high threshold, but the cost is cheap, and its overall performance can almost beat other alloys on the market.

The answer Nick gave was because he was afraid of trouble...

On the material level, he doesn't have many appeals, and letting too much Lemay alloy flow into the market will also make the already sensitive goblin feel a sense of crisis, which may cause panic.

It would be very troublesome if another goblin war happened accidentally, so he would release a small amount of LeMay alloy every once in a while.

This can tell the world that he is still alive, and that Lemay alloy, a material that can compete with goblin alloy, still exists, in an appropriate amount, so as to balance the relationship between goblins and wizards.

Because there is no Le May alloy, some extreme wizards are likely to start a war because they covet the alloy formula in the hands of the goblin.

But if there are more Lemay alloys, the goblins may cause riots or wars because they are afraid that their magic alloys will be squeezed out of the market.

Even though such a small piece of magic metal has a great impact on the structure of the wizarding world, Nick is also afraid of causing trouble, so he dare not not release the Flamel alloy, nor can he supply too much.

Even after Anduin obtained the formula of the LeMay alloy, Nick specifically told him not to let this material flow out too much, which would affect the market balance.

But also because of this reason, the price of LeMay alloy in the market is really ridiculously high, and Anduin also has a deep understanding of this, so it is not a lie for Nick to say that he is never short of money, he occasionally buys one or two yuan Alloys can make a lot of money.

Even Nick was very puzzled why Anduin was so obsessed with making money.

Regarding this point, Anduin naturally didn't explain too much to the other party, did he want to make money?That is spreading one's own influence, and to a certain extent, influence is equal to power!
In addition to the LeMay alloy, Anduin has also obtained many other material formulas, many of which he has never even heard of.

For example, there is a rubber-like material in the records, which has a strong impact resistance effect, but because its magic resistance effect is too good, it is regarded as a defective product.

But in Anduin's eyes, this is the best armor material, and the tactical suit processed from it can not only absorb shock, but also resist magic damage.

For this reason, after absorbing new knowledge from LeMay's house, Anduin non-stop returned to the laboratory to tinker with new props, and his life was extremely fulfilling.

It wasn't until Hogg and Shalltear came over to remind him one day that Anduin realized that more than a month had passed, and school would start in half a month.

This discovery made Anduin dumbfounded. He was obviously here on vacation, but why did he become busier than before the summer vacation?
Then there were those brats, he hadn't even seen them much during this time, and he didn't know if these brats had a good time with Sirius or not.

And when he put down the business in his hand and returned to the manor to see everyone, he was shocked by what they had experienced during this time.
