Admiral of Hogwarts

After a good day's rest, Hugo and the others took the subway to Grimmauld Place after breakfast the next morning.

When they arrived at Grimmauld Place and walked up the steps to No. 12 and knocked on the door, Mrs. Weasley soon opened the door for them.

"Oh, dear, you should have fun in the warm Luzon. There is no need to rush back at this time. Arthur's injury is not fatal, and the therapist also said that he has found a solution to the snake venom."

"Thanks to your reminder last time, he carried a stone tablet with a combination of invisibility and defense capabilities. You have to thank that stone tablet for allowing Arthur to react in time and not being bitten by the snake. Really. Thank you for saving him."

"It's nothing. This is a cooperative project between the Mutual Aid Association and the Order of the Phoenix. We didn't contribute much. Moreover, these first batch of magic array disks are still a bit short. Otherwise, we can build one to buy defense time for Mr. Sly. barrier.”

"It's not your fault. A magic item that can become invisible and provide magical protection only costs 20 Galleons, so it's pretty good to be able to achieve this level."

As a woman from the Prewett family, one of the so-called 28 Holy Families, she later married the Weasley family, who were good at making various magic props, so Mrs. Weasley naturally knew the details of these magic props. Condition.

At least for her, although this kind of magic prop can only be used in a certain place and cannot achieve infrared invisibility, pure optical invisibility, light magic shielding and emergency magic barrier concentrated on one prop are already very powerful. .

More importantly, this thing only sells for 20 galleons a piece. Considering that an invisibility cloak made of invisible beast fur will sell for 100 to 120 galleons, so this thing is definitely very cost-effective at 20 galleons. .

After entering the room, Hugo stated that he needed to recover the now-destroyed alchemy disk to examine the cause of the destruction. Because he was curious about how the snake destroyed the magic barrier.

Because according to the known information, just one bite from the snake caused the magic item to be completely overloaded and scrapped. But if Hugo remembers correctly, this defensive array is enough to withstand the impact of a bear, and a single bite from the snake will not cause any damage. It was scrapped so quickly.

"You came all the way and started working without taking a break. It's really..." Mrs. Weasley looked a little embarrassed, but at Hugo's insistence, she took out the big one that was larger than an adult male's hand from the cabinet in the living room. metal plate and several pieces of blood-stained clothing.

The difference from the first batch of samples is that when making this batch of metal disks, Hugo and the others had successfully established an industrial system on the moon and discovered a variety of high-quality magic metals that did not exist on the earth.

Therefore, considering that the Order of the Phoenix is ​​an ally, the Ship Girls added a lot of metals from aliens to these array disks while maintaining the same cost, which greatly improved the performance of these defensive props.

The most important one is to use redundancy in addition to concealment to create a magic barrier that can pop up in an emergency, and this small change just saved Mr. Weasley's life.

However, although this magic prop is made of redundant materials and has a defensive function, this does not mean that the defensive function has been cut corners.

At least according to Hugo's previous tests, this defense is equivalent to a relatively powerful iron armor spell released by an adult wizard, and is even stronger than the level of the iron armor spell cast by most employees of the Ministry of Magic. "

If I remember correctly, although the rune snake is highly venomous, it should not be so aggressive against the magic barrier, and according to the size of the snake mentioned by Mr. Weasley, the bite force will not be strong. How strong. "

Hugo began to think while disassembling the array plate bit by bit. And when he took the formation disk apart, he was surprised to find that there were a lot of signs of melting inside.

Hugo had always thought that even if it was overloaded, it would at most be a simple fuse to the magic metal used as magic circuits or the magic gems used as nodes, but now after opening it, he found that many of the lines inside were completely melted.

Obviously, this situation will only occur when an excessive attack is received at one time, which can cause such serious damage to the magic lines of the entire formation.

"Fortunately, this crystal used for recording was not destroyed together." After quickly cleaning up the remains with tweezers, Hugo picked up a colorless crystal the size of a corn kernel from the base.

Then he placed the crystal in front. Hermione took out a magic prop from the ship's space, waved her wand and recited a magic spell at the crystal.

As syllables came out of Hugo's mouth one by one, one rune after another fell on the crystal, and then the crystal began to emit streams of white mist.

Through this mist, Hugo quickly figured out how the magic array was destroyed, and then deduced a lot of data.

"It seems that the venom of the wishful snake this time is not only a simple biological weapon, but also contains powerful magical damage. In other words, this thing is most likely now Voldemort's Horcrux." Hugo looked at the experiment. Think after the result.

The reason for this judgment is that the authentic rune snake does not know the effect of using venom to cause magical attacks, and this change is most likely related to the snake's Horcrux transformation.

Now this information is very valuable to Hugo, because before, because Nagini was under the control of Hugo and the others, they could not confirm whether Voldemort had recreated the Horcrux and what the new Horcrux was.

But now, the appearance of this snake proved the direction of Voldemort's action. Although Voldemort no longer had Nagini, they still made a new Horcrux.

In addition, the most important discovery for Hugo was that he extracted the remaining venom from this array and an extra robe that Mrs. Weasley brought over.

From these venoms, he was pleasantly surprised to discover a new way of fighting magic defense, which was to change matter through the soul.

Previously, Hugo and the ship girls also discovered many kinds of items that can target magic, but the problem is that the way these items interfere with the composition of magic is through their own magic, which is equivalent to a head-on confrontation.

Therefore, the anti-magic protection magic props produced in this way are either expensive disposable items, or they need to be connected to a powerful external energy source to keep them running.

But this venom obviously adopts another principle, which is similar to some kind of necromantic spell, using something more accessible, the soul, as an energy source to produce powerful magical effects.

If you consider that as long as one sex consumes too much, the soul can gradually recover, it is obviously more energy-saving than the other two methods.

Unfortunately, after connecting to the Admiral's network and completing half an hour of analysis, Hugo and the others discovered that this power was actually formed by the gradual radiation and penetration of those broken souls.

In other words, this thing can be regarded as a by-product of the broken soul of the Horcrux. If it were a complete soul, it would not be able to produce this kind of venom at all.

"It seems that there is no free lunch." Hugo, who understood the nature of the venom, had no choice but to give up the idea.
