Chapter 29
Some people died, he is still alive.
This statement can be a passage in Zang Kejia's "Someone", or it can be interpreted directly according to the literal meaning.
Former Auror Flack Owen was one such person.
The real Owen is dead, but in the eyes of others, he is still alive and well.
The eccentric loses his Auror job because of his obsession and offends Catherine Shafik at a pawn shop, even though she is forgiven, but is sentenced to a year in prison by a judge for speaking out in public.
Is it bad enough? Unexpectedly, after he was released from prison, this guy went to apologize sincerely to Catherine, and even joined the Magic Eye Merchant Guild because of this. It has only been more than two years, and he has already become a famous person.
Of course, now wizards prefer to call it my Chamber of Commerce affectionately. The English abbreviation of Magic Eye is ME, and the chamber of commerce is taking a very friendly and convenient route, so that wizard consumers can have a kind of shop opened by my family, and they can do whatever they want, and "my chamber of commerce" comes from this.
A good job, and although Owen himself rarely goes back, he knows how to send money regularly to his mother who is living in poverty with underage siblings.
People who are acquainted with him have improved their personal evaluation, and some people even jokingly said: Maybe I should let my disobedient son go to prison for a year, maybe he will be enlightened like Owen!
In fact, Owen's squatting in the classroom is exactly what he arranged for the plot. There are many reasons, including making the core employees of the Magic Eye Chamber of Commerce more diverse in the past. Also includes the need for careful modulation of the role.
The difference between Owen and other swarms is that he has a descending system.
The Advent System is one of the auxiliary systems Kane configured for the Iron Blood Swarm.
Its main function is to allow him, the Heart of the Swarm, to switch to various positions at any time to observe and feel the situation in person.
In addition, it is also convenient for the more efficient airborne cerebrates to regain control of the swarm under special circumstances where all the grassroots commanders are killed.
It's just that if it is an airborne commander, it also needs to be equipped with an authorization system, which is also an auxiliary system. It will carry a corresponding genetic modification plan, cooperate with resources, and quickly transform the selected body into a category suitable for the commander.
It is mainly to strengthen the brain and related systems. Cerebral worms control their subordinates by telepathy, and have hard indicators for mental power.
The original Owen was a jerk in the family name.
Under the name of Auror Henry Reeves is a good friend of the right temper.
To the outside world, he can be regarded as a firm and righteous person, since a black wizard ate his pet cat raw. He was famous for his rivalry with Death Eaters and Dark wizards.
Kane made him more in line with universal values.
The prodigal son turned around and once rebelled, but now he is mature and knows how to care for and take care of his relatives. I also know how to be less angular, more tolerant, and maintain at least a superficial peace with others.
Sure enough, as Kane thought, people are more willing to see such Irving, including his blood relatives.
"Owen, where did you go to buy again this time?" the bartender Carl asked with a smile, showing a mouthful of rotten teeth that made people lose their appetite.
This is the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade, where it seems fashionable to hide your face, and Owen is one of the few wizards who don't mind having his face exposed to the public. This means no secrets, no care about being seen or heard.
It was also because of this that Karl asked carelessly. For him, it was a kind of relaxation to be able to pass a few words to such a guest.
"In Albania, a certain gentleman has strict requirements on the material of the new flush toilet he wants."
"Flush toilet?"
"A commode invented by Muggles."
"Oh, isn't the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Department looking for trouble?"
"The Department of Public Health, considering the advantages of hygienic excretion,
Unban this item. "
"Sounds like good news."
"It's not bad, at least you don't feel tired when you sit and poop. By the way, read a newspaper or something. The Daily Prophet is also a strong supporter of the application for lifting the ban. They even opened a special column to talk about the origin of the flush toilet and the current style. Speaking of which, the earliest user of the invention was an oriental wizard, who was already using it more than a thousand years ago."
"Well, I'm not surprised at all. Most of the ingenious inventions are related to us wizards. What? Or the same?"
"Well, it's the same." Kane didn't have much interest in communicating with this kind of closed and arrogant guy. Fortunately, Karl was quite sensible, and ended the conversation before the guests got bored, and served wine and wine glasses.
When you come to the Hog's Head for a drink, it's best to bring your own glass, not only because it's so dirty that the empty butterbeer bottles in the corner are covered in dust, but also because it's not safe, especially for students.
Owen has his own glass here, but he casts 'cleaned up' with his wand anyway. Then he poured himself a glass of licorice, sipped it slowly, and played with his wand.
Although there is no complete and mature relevant concept, with experience and wisdom, Ollivander has given a cultural core to the wand business, and has been widely known and recognized.
The reason why the wand chooses people has always been incomprehensible...
Kane made a gimmick about it, um, it's amazing.
In his opinion, the material of the wand has attributes, so it does have a relationship, but it is too ridiculous to say that the wand chooses people, it is just a trick of playing mysticism with a taste of fatalism.
Take this wand in his hand as an example.
It was Flack Owen's wand, which he had chosen himself, and even disregarded the affinity, and it worked just as well. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Owen has not discovered the frequent use of multiple high-level magic.
Acacia wood, dragon heartstrings, thirteen inches long, not easily bent. It was the dark gold wand that Kane used to kill the wizard's pet eagle with the Death Curse a few years ago.
In the words of Garrick Ollivander, acacia is a noble but arrogant wand wood. It only shows its power to very talented people, so it is difficult to match, and usually refuses wizards other than the master to use it to cast magic.
The dragon heart string represents strength, and not easy to bend means integrity.
So in general, the wand is very arrogant, and ordinary wizards can't play it at all.
But what happened? Owen used it well, and now it is in his hands, the effect is even better.
Not only this wand, but almost all the wands he seized were easy to use.
Because he's a temperamental chameleon, compatible with all types of wand materials? Obviously not.
This kind of thing can only show that the proportion of the magic wand itself to the spellcasting effect is not as big as ordinary wizards think, and things are always changing, influencing each other, who is more powerful, who is in this mutual influence occupy a dominant position.
The wand chooses a person, and if the compatibility is poor, all kinds of difficulties are encountered, largely because the current wizards are too weak.
Come to think of it, many wizards are less professional than house-elves. One day the house elves will fight against slave owners, that scene, tsk tsk...
Remus John Lupine didn't keep Kane waiting, and when he had finished his first liquorice, Lupine appeared.
Lupine wore a battered, patched robe, graying hair, pale face, and looked haggard and tired. At present, the most valuable thing on him may be this weather-beaten appearance.
"Mr. Lupine, here." Kane stood up and waved to Lupine.
Lupine nodded to him from a distance, closed the door behind him, and walked over calmly.
After the two were formally introduced, Kane cleaned another glass with 'clean up' and poured Lupine a glass. Then he raised his glass and said, "Mr. Lupine, congratulations on your successful inauguration."
Lu Ping was taken aback. He thought this meeting was an interview. Why did he raise his glass to congratulate him on his inauguration as soon as they met? Could it be that he was cast a spell and forgot all the links in the middle?
Kane smiled: "Don't let me hold the glass alone, I promise to give you a reasonable explanation."
Lupine is a capable and decisive person. He immediately smiled and said that he was rude, and then clinked glasses with Kane. At this moment, he chose to be honest instead of reserved. He really needed this job.
