Fine Snow Crushed Jade
Guided by the Goblin, Wizet and her companions boarded the minecart.
With a sharp, screeching sound, the mine cart sped along the winding track, blurring the surrounding scenery.
Guided by magic, the minecart seemed to find its way on its own, turning left and right among the forks in the road without the Goblin's command.
With the help of the Magic Eye, Wizet absorbed the Ancient Magic Power around him and infused it into the Wizard Combat Guide.
The Wizard Combat Guide was becoming increasingly agitated, and as the pages flew by, one page revealed its contents:
《Elementary Magic Forging》: Master Ancient Magic Power... Enhance the effects of metals with Ancient Magic Power... Imbue metals with special properties...
Goblin have a deep understanding of magical forging and metalworking, and possess extremely high levels of expertise in these areas.
Wizards usually need the help of Goblin, and only with the help of the metals processed and forged by Goblin can magical items be preserved for a long time.
Godric Gryffindor, one of the Founders of Hogwarts, once commissioned Goblin Goblin to forge a longsword for him, which became the famous Sword of Gryffindor.
According to "Hogwarts: Hogwarts, A History of the School", after the Goblin completed the commission, he coveted the sword, unilaterally reneged on the commission, and wanted to steal the sword back.
As a powerful wizard, Godric Gryffindor warned the Goblin after defeating Goblin thieving goblins that if they tried to steal the sword again, they would face a war.
Faced with Godric Gryffindor's immense power, the Goblin had no choice but to give up and never again coveted the Sword of Gryffindor.
Along with "《Elementary Magic Forging》," there was also a considerable amount of knowledge related to forging.
There are certain similarities between different spells, even between blacksmithing and other spells. However, to connect them, one needs a wealth of knowledge as a foundation.
For Wizet, this knowledge of forging was quite interesting, involving Alchemy and the delicate manipulation of fire.
Magic Forging Technique is similar to Potions, except that it lacks the crucible as a barrier and directly uses fire to fuse metals with various materials.
During the process of fusing materials with flames, the properties obtained through Alchemy techniques are incorporated into the metal, which is why it can be preserved for a long time.
After understanding these things, Wizet suddenly became quite interested in the Goblin's forging techniques.
He wanted to know if there were any common characteristics between "《Elementary Magic Forging》" and Goblin Forging.
However, due to the nature of Goblin, if you ask them for this knowledge, you will be seen as trying to steal Goblin secrets and will be attacked by them.
The minecart slowly came to a stop in front of a metal door, and the Goblin immediately called out in a shrill voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived."
"Ugh!" Xenophilius the first to jump off the minecart, his face pale and his steps unsteady.
Some staggered to a corner, bent over, dry heaving and coughing violently.
Luna quickly followed, gently patting Xenophilius's back to help him catch his breath and prevent Xenophilius from choking.
"Sir, I'll unlock the door for you now." The Goblin unlocked the door, and inside the vault were piles of metal coins, including Gold Galleon, Silver Sickle, and Bronze Knut, which looked quite impressive.
"Cough cough cough..." Xenophilius's complexion finally improved a bit, and he pulled out an account book with trembling hands. "You can count it... I've written everything down... and you know the prices too."
Wizet looked at Xenophilius. Although Xenophilius still looked pale, his eyes did not flinch at all, and one could see the seriousness in them.
Seeing that Wizet hadn't taken any action, Xenophilius urged again, "You need to be careful! Although I won't lie to you, I might have miscalculated! You should at least double-check."
The Goblin suddenly interjected, "Sir, Gringotts offers accounting services. If you're worried about making mistakes in your accounts, we're willing to provide you with a complete service, it just requires..."
Its mouth was stretched into a fake smile, and its hands were clasped together and rubbing them together, making it look like a shrewd and cunning merchant.
"Oh! I remember now!" Xenophilius his forehead. "I really forgot to write that down! Galleon charges a storage fee for storing Gringotts!"
"When you talked to me about it... how many Galleon was it again? Anyway, you do the math! If it's less than that, that's the storage fee the Goblin were charging!"
Upon hearing these words, the Goblin's expression suddenly froze, and her smile became somewhat awkward...
Before we knew it, it was already December 24th.
The weather in the Ottery St Catchpole was gloomy, and a slightly damp, cold wind whistled and whistled among the houses like Ghost.
A hazy gray cloud spread out, enveloping the entire village, but there was no sign of snow.
Fortunately, a goal set last year has finally yielded results this year.
Wizet stepped out of the garden, pulled her wand from her pocket, and pointed it to the sky. "Fine Snow Crushed Jade!"
As he chanted the incantation, he began to twist his wrists as if he were stirring up clouds.
The gloomy clouds rolled gently, as if they had been churned by a washing machine, and their color changed from gray to milky white.
When the clouds stopped churning, the first snowflake drifted down lightly and slowly settled into Wizet's hand;
Wizet looked around, and then a second and a third snowflake appeared, and soft, feather-like snowflakes danced in the air.
The damp, cold wind disappeared silently, and the whole village fell silent, as if it were having a peaceful winter dream.
After a while, when the village and grassland were covered in a layer of snow-white cotton, Wizet called Luna out.
"It's snowing!"
Luna put on a miniature Unicorn hat and, at Xenophilius's request, wrapped a fluffy, off-white scarf around her neck before excitedly running to Wizet's side.
Although Luna had seen much more expansive snowscapes while at Hogwarts, they were still quite different from the snowscapes she saw after returning home.
Wizet walked ahead, leaving thin footprints in the snow;
Luna followed in Wizet's footsteps, but she walked faster and faster until she was walking alongside Wizet.
Let's build a snowman!
Luna excitedly suggested that they try to gather the surrounding snow into a small snowball, then crouch down and push it forward little by little.
"Okay!" Wizet nodded slightly, and like Luna, pushed another snowball.
Like Luna, he didn't use any magic at all; he simply pushed out a snowball and merged it with Luna's snowball.
Luna clapped her hands, her fair cheeks flushed, and her breath, as she panted, dispersed in the air, spreading her radiant smile along with it...
