Mastering Lightning from Hogwarts

“Guardian Badge?” Upon hearing this, Clement immediately took out the badge and carefully examined it in his hand.

To be honest, he was already somewhat tempted by this badge. Its ability to automatically cast [Human Form Iron Armor Curse] and be repeatedly recharged perfectly met the needs of the maintenance team members in the base.

Moreover, the 'griffin' engraved on it was lifelike, which Clement also liked very much, and for a moment he couldn't bear to part with it.

But could a single badge like this win the support of the club's bigwigs? Clement was still a little unsure, which made it difficult for him to make a decision.

“Mr. Wilson…” Clement looked at Anduin, holding the badge. “Could you let me try the effect of this badge?”

“Of course, no problem.” Anduin nodded with a smile, then drew his wand from his pocket and looked at him. “You don’t mind, do you?”

“No, no problem.” Clement knew what Anduin was going to do, nodded immediately, then put the badge on and stood in the open space next to him.

“Repello!”

After confirming that the other party was ready, Anduin raised his hand and cast a [Knockback Jinx]. The magic projectile violently hit Clement, but the badge on his chest flashed, and a solid humanoid armor immediately materialized to block the spell.

After experiencing it firsthand, Clement immediately liked the [Guardian Badge] even more. The protection intensity of the Human Form Iron Armor Curse was very high, and it could be automatically activated when it sensed danger. The activation speed was also very impressive. The speed of the spell cast by Anduin was not slow, but the badge reacted even faster.

“Mr. Clement, you can now try injecting magic power into the badge. After it's recharged, I'll show you the badge's resistance to elemental spells.” Anduin looked at Clement, who was constantly stroking the badge on his chest, and smiled.

“Okay, no problem. →” Anduin's suggestion hit Clement's sweet spot. The most troublesome magical creatures in the park were the dragons, whose dragon flames often burned the staff.

After a while, Clement signaled to Anduin that he had finished charging.

And Anduin nodded slightly, then reminded, “Next, I will cast spells continuously, please don't move around, otherwise it would be bad if I accidentally burned down your office.”

“Okay.”

“Incendio!”

Anduin raised his hand and a fine stream of flames spewed out from his wand, like a flamethrower, hitting the Human Form Iron Armor Curse head-on, and continuously burning for about 5 seconds before stopping.

“How is it? Are you satisfied with the performance of the Guardian Badge?” Anduin asked with a smile after finishing the spell.

“Satisfied, very satisfied. I can hardly feel the temperature of the flames. Does the Human Form Iron Armor Curse on this also have a heat insulation function?”

Clement was a little nervous when facing the flames at first, but after being burned for a while, he found that this layer of magical armor was very strong, and the effect was even better than the ordinary Human Form Iron Armor Curse, and he didn't feel any temperature increase at all.

“Not bad.” Anduin nodded upon hearing this. “This is an improved and enhanced Human Form Iron Armor Curse. I developed it with Professor Flitwick of Charms when I was at Hogwarts School. The tactical vests in the XXX-level equipment also use this optimized spell. I have to pay Professor Flitwick a 'patent fee' for every piece sold, so products with this spell will not be particularly cheap, you have to be mentally prepared.”

Anduin didn't lie to him in this remark. Many of the spells on the products in his hand had been improved and optimized, and Professor Flitwick and Professor Bones had contributed a lot to them.

For example, the [Self-Checking Pocket Watch] he made before, and the [Magic Measuring Instrument] that has not been released, are both joint creations of him and Professor Flitwick, after all, this involves a lot of bloodline magic, which was a weakness for Anduin at the beginning. →

Anduin had originally promised Professor Flitwick that he would conduct research on this type of magic under Flitwick's supervision. It can be said that many of Anduin's early spell researches were completed under Flitwick's guidance.

And when Anduin sells related products, he will also reserve shares for Professor Flitwick and Professor Bones, which can be regarded as 'patent fees' or 'technical dividends'.

“I see.” Clement nodded knowingly, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This young man in front of him was really amazing. At a young age, he was already researching and optimizing spells with the school's professors. No wonder he was called the strongest alchemist of the new generation by many nosy scholars.

“How about it, are you satisfied with this new product? In the next year or two, I will launch a series of new alchemy tools, and I guarantee that all overseas distributors can purchase the corresponding products for sale. With these, a mere few thousand Galleons of agency fees and reserve funds are just a drop in the bucket.” Anduin said, striking a business-like posture.

“It is indeed surprisingly useful.” Even if Clement wanted to be picky at this time, he couldn't speak against his conscience, but he still asked, “When are you going to launch such products? And can you guarantee the quality and output?”

“You don’t have to worry about this.” Anduin raised his head with great confidence. “If you need the Guardian Badge, it can be supplied in a month or two, and the effect of each one will not be worse than this one. If you have favorite shapes and specifications, you can also customize them.”

“How about it, can this make you make up your mind?” Anduin asked Clement again to confirm.

“Well…”

To be honest, Clement was really tempted. If he had enough liquid funds in his hand, he might have agreed on the spot, but he really didn't have enough financial resources to support it at the moment, so he had to ask the club before he could make up his mind.

“I’m sorry, although I’m very willing to sign a contract with you now, such a large sum of money cannot be taken out all at once. Can you allow me some time to consider it?” Clement said to Anduin sincerely. This time, he was indeed sincerely from the bottom of his heart.

“Do you still need to consider it after all this? To be honest, it makes me a little suspicious of whether you really have the sincerity to cooperate.” Anduin looked at Clement with some dissatisfaction.

“No, no, no, I really want to finalize the contract with you right now, but I have to discuss it with my partners, don’t I? You know, this is a big deal, and we also need to spend some time raising money.”

Speaking of this, Clement even emphasized, “Please give me a little more time, and I hope you won’t confirm the contract with others during this time? I am willing to pay you a deposit first, how about 1000 Galleons?”

Anduin laughed secretly in his heart upon hearing this. Discuss with partners? Is he going to ask the Silver Spear people? But that doesn't matter to me.

However, Anduin still put on the tone of a profiteer and said, “A deposit of 2000 Galleons, I can give you half a month to consider it separately. If you confirm cooperation within this time, then this money will be counted in the reserve fund. If you are unwilling to cooperate, I can refund half of the deposit to you, but if I don’t receive a reply after the time is up, then the deposit will not be refunded!”

After hearing Anduin's conditions, Clement had another constipated expression. He really couldn't understand why this kid in front of him was as greedy as if he had fallen into a money pit.

But Clement really didn't want to give up this good opportunity. He roughly calculated it and thought that with this [Guardian Badge], he still had a good chance to convince the big man in the club.

And if it really doesn't work, he will just lose his old face and ask people around for help to raise the money. At worst, he will go to Gringotts to find those goblins for a loan.

Thinking of this, Clement gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely, “Okay, Mr. Wilson, I agree to your request, but can you put this [Guardian Badge] with me first? I need to use it to convince those partners.”

“No problem, Lord Clement, this badge will be a gift for you. It's not a big problem.” Anduin smiled slightly upon hearing this. This badge was originally prepared for him. Even if the other party didn't mention it, Anduin was going to give it to Clement.

“Then thank you very much.” Clement really couldn't bear to part with this badge. It was not only powerful, but also carved with his favorite griffin shape. “Please wait a moment, I will go get the money for you now.”

After saying that, Clement walked to the safe in front of his desk and rummaged for a while, and then poured out a large leather bag from the space bag on his body. After counting for a while, he found that it was not enough, so he ran out of the room and searched all the money from the cashier on the first floor of the store.

He worked hard for a long time before he managed to scrape together these 2000 Galleons. He even borrowed some from the store's employees for this, really losing all his old face.

But at least he managed to raise the deposit, but there were a lot of silver Sickles and bronze Knuts mixed in it. Anduin didn't care when he saw this, but he was very serious when counting the money. He didn't want to let this old thing drill any loopholes, and this could also establish his greedy persona.

“No problem, the amount is correct.” Anduin smiled and put all the coins into a large leather bag and put them away. “By the way, here are 2 Sickles and 9 Knuts that were found to be extra, Lord Clement, please keep them.”

Clement looked at the few coins in his hand, and then glanced at Anduin with resentment. He had really suffered a big loss today, but all he got was a promise. Who made him the disadvantaged party in the negotiation?
