This Hogwarts isn't normal.

Traditional magic wands have a flaw, that is, they cannot fire instantly.

Although the double snake staff can cast two spells at the same time, it is only the icing on the cake for wizards who are proficient in silent casting.

What if a gun is used as a template, and each pull of the trigger is a casting process?

Vincent's alder wand quickly waved at the mithril on the surface of the double snake staff.

One after another, colorful magic circuits were carved, some parallel and some staggered.

They seemed to react with the ancient runes on the surface of the snake wood, and began to change the appearance of the double snake staff at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The dazzling light did not slow down the carving speed of the alder wand, and Vincent even closed his eyes.

The magic circuit was his first lesson in alchemy, and he had long reached the point where he could carve with his eyes closed.

The last stroke fell, and the diffused strong light was instantly compressed back.

Vincent opened his eyes and saw a long-barreled pistol with flowing colorful lines.

Hiding both the magic circuit and the ancient runes inside, it reveals the metallic luster that originally belonged to mithril.

The main body of the grip is snake wood covered with scales, and the intertwined snake bodies are also the spiral-shaped mithril gun bodies, with two snake heads on the left and right as the muzzles.

The snake wood trigger fits tightly in front of the grip, without the structure of hammer and magazine.

Since it is a firearm that fires magic, there is no need to keep it specially.

Vincent held the long-barreled pistol, which is slightly heavier than the gun blade, but the overall length is similar.

Although there is no sharp blade under the gun body, this magic gun may not be incapable of close combat.

He did not recite the spell, but just lightly touched the snake wood trigger, and a translucent barrier formed on the left muzzle of the snake head.

The effect is almost equal to the silent armor spell of the alder wand. Since no additional casting gesture is required, the whole process is three times faster.

Aim and touch the trigger.

While other wizards were still waving their wands, the snakewood staff in the form of a gun had already fired a spell.

If it could be mass-produced...

Vincent sighed.

Silent spellcasting is a threshold, and whether the Ministry of Magic allows it to circulate is another threshold.

Let's continue testing.

There are two muzzles in total, and like the double snake staff, two spells can be cast at the same time.

Two beams of light, one red and one blue, hit the ground, the grass on the left was blown away, and a hole appeared on the right.

There was no rejection phenomenon, and the power was the same as usual.

Vincent pointed the muzzle of the gun at the trunk of a giant tree, took a deep breath, and pressed his fingertips to the snakewood trigger.

Two red beams had just made two holes, and then two more red beams followed.

The debris-like bark flew all over the sky, and the two holes on the tree became bigger and bigger.

The firing speed was comparable to that of an automatic rifle. Even if the power of the spell was reduced as much as possible, the consumption was still so great that it began to feel tired after 50 times.

Vincent released his fingertips and sat down to rest for half an hour.

When he recovered, he stood up and pointed the gun at another giant tree.

The dazzling red beams almost merged together, and two large holes were blasted into the wide tree trunk in an instant.

But it didn't end there, and the red beams continued to pass through the large holes, like a continuous laser.

The next second, Vincent's forehead was sweating, and his breathing began to become rapid.

10 shots at full power, not yet the limit.

The muzzle shook violently, and the trunk of the giant tree fell straight down.

Fainting appeared, he loosened his fingertips.

30 shots are already the limit, after all, the interval is not much different from continuous casting.

The effect of releasing spells with a long-barreled pistol is very strong, and there are not many situations in actual combat that require zero interval casting.

As long as you take it easy, there shouldn't be a big problem.

Resting until dawn, Vincent restored the damage caused, and then started the time converter.

It would be easier to have an interval of 1 second, and an interval of 2 seconds is similar to using a traditional magic wand.

If you only use a single muzzle, firing spells back and forth with an interval of 2 seconds between the left and right, it will take almost 5 minutes to feel tired.

After 10 minutes, you start to feel dizzy.

Half an hour later, Vincent dropped his long-barreled pistol and knelt on one knee.

A total of 1,000 spells were cast, which is twice as many as the number of times with the alder wand.

As long as it is used properly, the combat effectiveness will also be doubled.

Times have really changed.

If you have the powerful magic power like Dumbledore, it is more than enough to defeat a fully armed Muggle army, and you can even retreat unscathed.

Get rid of the difficult spells and the cumbersome casting gestures, this is the correct development path for wizards.

However, due to the existence of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, the magic world has stagnated for three hundred years.

There are very few wizards who really value the speed of Muggle technology development. If there is an opportunity for them to face reality...

Vincent tightened his long-barreled pistol, and the snakewood absorbed the mithril on the surface and quickly restored to the shape of a double snake staff.

"Damn Dark Lord!"

Maybe, this is the so-called prophecy.

There is a pair of invisible hands behind him, pushing him forward.

After scolding, he felt much better, but the scene around him...

Vincent's eyes twitched wildly.

Just now, he was only concerned with testing the limit and didn't pay special attention to the damage caused by it.

It is another big project to restore the range of hundreds of meters.

The weekend is the weekend, how can I not have a good rest?

I slept until noon, yawned and walked into the bathroom, and was almost scared.

Inside, a member of the reconnaissance team was lying with his back to him, using magic to lift up tiles and carefully search for something.

Vincent walked to the sink as if nothing had happened.

"Crack, crack, crack--"

"Swish, swish--"

The only sounds in the huge space were the tiles being lifted up and teeth being brushed.

This person was too focused, and Vincent didn't even look back when he washed his face and walked out.

After returning to the dormitory and changing clothes, he was frightened again when he came to the common room.

There were only three Aurors inside.

One was using magic to lift up the marble floor, one was raising his wand and knocking on the wall, and one was swaying on the chandelier to check the ceiling.

This was too exaggerated.

Vincent was stunned for a moment, and then his body trembled involuntarily.

Fudge really wasn't a human being, he was just short of digging the ground with a shovel.

Take a deep breath to calm down, everything will be fine.

Leaving the common room and walking quickly to the request-granting place, it was exactly as he imagined.

It's useless to knock on the wall with a wand. You have to walk back and forth three times towards the corner first, and you have to be eager to go somewhere while walking.

The Apparition Charm is also useless. Even if the door really appears, it will not appear because of the alchemical coating unless you can find the correct position of the door handle.

Oh, don't touch it randomly, I told you to walk back and forth three times first.

Vincent came in a hurry and left quietly.

"What's lunch today..."

Compared with the Ministry of Magic's upgraded search operation, he obviously cares more about what delicious lunch is.
