Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

#307 - Bargaining (asking for monthly ticket recommendation ticket)

โ€œNow that I've sent out an emergency signal, everyone should be able to sense my location with a little focus. Even if your magic is exhausted, or your perception is weak, you can float the amulet in your hand to your forehead, and it will point you in my direction.โ€ Anduin explained in great detail.

The group followed Anduin's instructions and tested it out, finding that it was indeed as Anduin had said. Minister Bardnor's eyes lit up after personally experiencing it.

The surrounding people also discussed it with great interest. After Anduin's simple introduction, they realized the significance and value of this equipment in practical use, especially for the Auror hit squads. In the past, communication was always a problem when they operated separately.

Although they could use the Patronus Charm to transmit information, the commotion was a bit too big, and most Aurors couldn't master the advanced applications of this spell. Usually, they had to use Apparition for communication.

โ€œHow long does this amulet work, and how strong is its anti-interference ability?โ€ Minister Bardnor was very interested in the first item Anduin took out and quickly asked for details.

โ€œNo matter how you use a communication amulet, it can work continuously for 3 months. However, if you send out an emergency signal, the amulet will be scrapped on the spot. Of course, expired amulets can be exchanged for new ones from me for a third of the cost, but scrapped amulets will have to be repurchased.โ€

โ€œAs for anti-interference ability, it can basically penetrate ordinary shielding charms. It might be a bit difficult if it's in a strong Confundus Charm or shielding spell, but I can specially make enhanced amulets with stronger penetration for the Ministry of Magic, of course, the cost will be more expensive than the original version.โ€ Anduin was doing business now, so he couldn't help but mention money every three sentences.

Minister Bardnor nodded upon hearing this, then signaled Anduin to continue.

โ€œNext is the multi-to-multi function of the communication amulet. First, we select several amulets to establish a communication network, and then all the amulets can arbitrarily transmit messages to the other amulets, whether to everyone or to a specific person.โ€

โ€œOf course, to realize this function, you have to bind an accessory equipment called a 'Communication Handbook'. It is equivalent to a transit station. Each handbook can support the establishment of a communication network of no more than 20 people, and then number all the amulets on it. As long as you remember who the amulet with the corresponding number belongs to, you can send designated messages to other people.โ€

โ€œOf course, this handbook is not free, but the Ministry of Magic can get a free handbook for every 20 communication amulets ordered.โ€ Anduin spoke very mercenary words with a very elegant and calm expression.

โ€œSo, how much are you going to sell this communication amulet for?โ€ Fudge, who was playing with the amulet in his hand with great interest, asked.

โ€œThe communication amulet costs 15 Galleons apiece.โ€ Anduin said, feeling quite happy that someone had asked about the price.

โ€œ15 Galleons?โ€ Fudge tilted his head and glanced at Minister Bardnor with some hesitation after hearing the price. Obviously, he felt that the price was a bit high. You know, this thing only lasts for 3 months, and you have to spend 5 Galleons to replace it after it expires, so the actual annual cost is actually 30 Galleons.

โ€œWell, this cost is a bit high, can it be cheaper?โ€ Minister Bardnor liked the amulet in her hand very much, but she also understood the meaning in Fudge's eyes.

โ€œIf the Ministry of Magic orders more than 50 at a time, I can set the price at 13 Galleons apiece, what do you think?โ€ Since he was doing business, Anduin naturally wouldn't let go too easily.

Hearing Anduin's offer, Minister Bardnor was obviously a little tempted and was about to agree.

โ€œThe number 13 is too unlucky, let's make it 12 Galleons apiece.โ€ Amelia Bones, the Head of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement next to her, had to interject when she saw that the Minister didn't even know how to bargain.

โ€œ12 Galleons?โ€ Anduin pretended to think deeply for a moment, but in his heart, he was constantly slandering Professor Bones' younger sister, the Head of the Department. Everyone was clearly concerned, and Minister Bardnor was obviously tempted, yet you still had to intervene. Fortunately, only he knew the cost of this broken amulet.

โ€œOkay, 12 Galleons it is. After all, this is the first item I'm demonstrating to everyone, so let's just call it half-sold and half-given away.โ€ Anduin gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement as if he had suffered a great loss.

Minister Bardnor was very happy to see him agree, and at the same time, she was very grateful to Anduin for his willingness to part with it, after all, this amulet looked very valuable. Each amulet had a very uniform and regular shape, and they were all made of Agrippa alloy.

โ€œOkay, that's all for the introduction of the communication amulet. Next, I'll demonstrate the defensive amulet.โ€

Afterwards, Anduin showed everyone the defensive, sonic boom, and flash amulets, and they were equally satisfied with their effects.

Every time he introduced a new product, it would cause a burst of discussion among everyone, especially the defensive amulet he showed. This thing was equivalent to giving the front-line combat personnel one more chance for mistakes, and this extra chance could very likely save their lives.

In fact, many Auror hit squads were secretly planning to buy a few more from Anduin's shop afterwards. This kind of good thing was better to have more of.

When it came to the bargaining stage, Amelia abandoned Minister Bardnor and personally stepped forward to negotiate with Anduin.

In the end, the prices of these amulets were also negotiated on the spot. The defensive amulet was 10 Galleons, and the other two amulets were ordered at 12 Galleons, the same as the communication amulet.

After the amulet-type products were introduced, Anduin immediately began to introduce the rest of the products.

โ€œThese are magic-dampening handcuffs. As long as they are handcuffed to the arrested criminal, they can continuously extract the suspect's magic power, causing them to lose the ability to cast spells. Calculating with an ordinary adult wizard, it only takes 1 minute to completely lose resistance. I think every Auror fighting on the front line deserves to have a pair.โ€

โ€œThese are protective gloves. Their effect is similar to the defensive amulet. As long as they are activated, an Iron Skin Charm shield will be generated with the gloves as the center. They are extremely flexible and can adjust the defense angle at will. At the same time, the strength of the Iron Skin Charm is three times that of the defensive amulet, of course, the price is also higher.โ€

โ€œThis is a self-checking pocket watch. The front is an ordinary pocket watch that can be used to tell the time. After opening the back and activating it, it can autonomously scan the wearer's body to check for blood loss, dehydration, poisoning, fractures, and whether they are stained with weaker curses or dark magic.โ€

Seeing that the previous amulets were very popular, Anduin's confidence also greatly increased. Afterwards, he tirelessly promoted these mid-range products to everyone.
