Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 468 Ghost and Magic Painting

"Kon-na-my friend, it's a pleasure to see you without a hitch"

The almost headless Sir Nicholas hopped into Connor's laboratory and gave Connor a warm hug, "Will you come to my [-]th death anniversary party tomorrow? If you can come, I will Very happy!"

"I'm sorry, Sir Nick, although I'd be happy to go to the appointment myself, but you know, I'm not a free man now, and I have to accompany my girlfriend to the school's Halloween banquet."

Connor opened his eyes with a smile and said nonsense, he didn't want to go to any ghost banquet at all, he had participated in those small gatherings of ghosts a few times because of curiosity, it's hard for you to imagine what Connor went through.

Chilling will-o'-the-wisp candles, heart-piercing see-saw music, moldy and rotten food and snacks. It's simply not a place for human beings to stay. Anyway, Connor will never go there for the second time in his life.

"Ah~ That's really a pity. In fact, this time I also invited a few little wizards from Gryffindor. I hope you can help liven up the atmosphere." Nick shook his head and sighed.

"Huh? Someone else promised... No, I mean who else did you invite?" Connor didn't remember the information about Nick's death anniversary party (because there was no such thing in the movie).

"It's Harry! The famous Harry Potter, he and his friends promised to come to my death anniversary party!" Nick said happily: "Of course, I won't let them know that I want to recruit new people You can rest assured about this."

Nick is going to recruit workers for the ghost factory at his death anniversary party. This is something that has been planned long ago. Connor also hopes that he will do this job as soon as possible, because the factory is short of manpower and the output cannot keep up. The need for pens is greater than imagined.

As for the question of whether people can be recruited, Connor is not worried about this, because Connor is very clear about what the ghosts desire most-they are eager to restore the perception, touch, smell, and taste of being human. These things are very important to ghosts. more important than anything else.

Just like the rotten food that smells outrageously strong at the ghost banquet, they got this anti-human thing just to feel a little "taste". Life as a ghost is really difficult
In fact, if ghosts really want to possess something, it is quite easy, such as those ordinary stone statues or golems. Ghosts can possess them and then control them to indirectly affect the world. This level can still be achieved. There are wizards. Help would be smoother, but few ghosts would want to do that.

Because what they want is not a body without feeling, they want to smell, taste, and touch things. Even if they possess some puppets, they can’t feel any pain. It is meaningless to the ghosts, not everyone has the ability of the Hogwarts Big Four to make golems that are just like ordinary people (referring to Rowena and Helena).

But Connor's magic painting can give them everything they want.

Ghosts fused with magic paintings can have real perception. Although they can’t eat real food, they can eat magic painting food. As far as Connor knows, the secret method of painting fusion is only available in the Lake family (maybe some families have it, or someone is already researching it, but currently only the Lake family has it).

This is why Connor is not worried about not being able to recruit workers. Looking at it from another perspective, it should be those ghosts who begged Connor to paint them.

Moreover, if the ghosts use the magic painting made by [Finishing Touch] as their bodies like Nick, then they are almost indistinguishable from real humans!
In fact, [Finishing Brush] is still the most advanced magic that Connor has mastered so far. Although Connor is quite proficient in drawing dead objects with the finishing brush, it is still very troublesome to use it to draw people.

If he wants to use this magic to draw a complete human magic painting, it will take almost a day. If he does not use the elixir of blessing, Connor will probably fail to cast the spell. After finishing a painting, this kind of "finishing touch" It will take a few hours for a level magic painting, and within a day after that, Connor will enter a debuffed state of weakness.

[The finishing touch] is such an advanced magic that requires high requirements, consumes a lot of energy, and takes a long time to cast.

Especially when drawing people, in the past two years, Connor has only perfectly cast spells three times, namely Artoria, Angel and Gandalf, two of which were drawn by drinking Felicia, so don't I thought Connor could draw this kind of painting casually.

Naturally, the magic paintings of the ghost factory cannot all use magic paintings of the finishing touch level, which will exhaust Connor to death (in fact, he is lazy). Except for Nick, the "factory director", Connor used [Ghost workers] Most of them are ordinary magical paintings that must be glued to the frame. With the supply of magic power from the Sorcerer's Stone, they can carry the frame on their backs and walk around the factory. Not a big problem.

As for why the ghosts should know that Connor can draw magic paintings that are out of the frame. Of course, it is to give them hope in life and to work more motivated. Will betray easily, after all, this is really the only one in the Kangna family.

Although there must be people in the Far East who know this thing. But these western ghosts don’t know it, do they?
If people outside know that Connor can draw magic paintings out of the frame, emmm, God knows what will happen. Anyway, before Connor is ready, he doesn't intend to let others know about his ability.

Connor put down the experiment at hand, and chatted with Nick: "By the way, Nick, how many ghosts are there in England?"

"Britain? As far as I know, there are probably more than 200. Mrs. Polly also ascended to heaven a few days ago, and now there are fewer and fewer ghosts," Nick said sadly.

Shouldn't you be happy for someone else who ascended to heaven?

"More than 200?" Connor thought about it carefully, and said, "Ghosts may also form a unique industrial chain."

"What did you say?"

"Sir Nick, we will finally announce the secret [Ghosts can combine with magic paintings]. Although it is not now, it will not be too long. After all, even if we don't announce it, other wizards will discover this secret."

Connor spread his hands and said, "At that time, your ghosts will no longer be unfettered objects, and the Ministry of Magic will also issue laws on ghost management."

"Well, this is indeed something that can be imagined."

"So we have to occupy this market as soon as possible. Although there are few ghosts now, it doesn't mean that there will be few in the future. I think there will probably be many wizards who want to change to ghosts in the future..."

Connor shrugged: "This may be a good way to make money. How about it, Sir Nick, are you interested in running a business? Do you want to join us and make money together?"
