Chapter 4144 4146 [Three Cobblers Are Better than Zhuge Liang]

Xiang Nan, Lupin, Lily, Little Barty and others worked together to develop anti-curse equipment.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and Xiang Nan and his four people are not only not cobblers, but each of them can be called Zhuge Liang.

Therefore, the anti-curse equipment was developed very successfully, and the anti-curse hat was soon developed.

As long as you wear this hat, when the other party releases a curse, it will automatically rebound, which is equivalent to a constant armor spell.

Afterwards, Xiang Nan and others applied for a patent at the Ministry of Magic. The patent belongs to the four of them and they share the benefits of this patent.

After the patent application, Xiang Nan advertised in the Daily Prophet, Wizard Weekly, Wizard Radio, etc., and then received countless orders.

On the one hand, it is now in chaos outside. Death Eaters, werewolves, trolls, vampires... are rampant everywhere, killing Muggles, Muggle wizards, etc. Many people are on the verge of death, and they don’t know when the disaster will come.

Moreover, most wizards don’t even have the ability to protect themselves when facing a disaster. They can't even cast the Armor Charm or the Protection Charm. So now that Xiang Nan is selling the anti-curse hat, many people want to buy it for self-defense.

On the one hand, Xiang Nan is now also a golden signboard. He brewed the wolfsbane potion at the end of the fourth grade and became a well-known potion master.

Later, he invented potions such as swelling cream, laxative, and bone and muscle patch (for rheumatism), further consolidating the golden signboard of "Prince of Potions" and "Potion Master", and thus won the trust of a large number of wizards.

Like Gilderoy Lockhart, Xiang Nan has now become a star in the wizarding world. However, unlike Lockhart, who is only good at appearance, Xiang Nan has real skills.

So his anti-curse hat is not a scam, but really works. It is precisely because of this that the anti-curse hat is very popular. Hundreds of them were sold as soon as they were put on sale, and the orders were placed after Christmas.

And this hat is priced at eight galleons. This item alone brought Xiang Nan and others 500 galleons of income, and each person could get more than 100 galleons on average.

For students, this income is very good.

And this is just the beginning. With the launch of the anti-curse suit in the future, each of them will make a fortune.

…

Time soon came to the Christmas holiday.

Little Barty and Lily had to go home for the holiday.

Xiang Nan and Lupin stayed in school to continue to produce anti-curse hats, and also prepared to produce a full set of anti-curse equipment such as anti-curse gloves, anti-curse robes, and anti-curse cloaks.

And temporary transformation candy, bait dolls, invisible smoke bombs, anti-thief alarms, etc.

Among them, the temporary transformation candy can be temporarily transformed into another person, or into daily necessities such as sofas, wardrobes, tables and chairs, so as to escape or check.

After the bait doll is thrown out, it can make sounds while running like a person to attract other people's attention. It is most practical when being tracked and chased.

After the anti-theft alarm is installed, once an outsider breaks in, the alarm will sound immediately, giving people at least time to react, rather than losing their lives in a muddle...

Because there are too many things to produce and develop, Xiang Nan and Lupin are a little too busy.

Lupin therefore proposed to Xiang Nan to recruit his friend Peter Pettigrew.

Peter Pettigrew is his good friend. He also came from a poor family. He has no father since childhood and depends on his mother.

Moreover, he looks average, even a little ugly, and is short, so he is also very inferior. It can be said that he is in the same boat with Lupin, who is a werewolf.

Therefore, among the four Marauders, Pettigrew has the best relationship with him.

When James and Sirius discovered his werewolf secret and proposed to be friends with him, he took the initiative to pull Pettigrew to join, thus forming the Marauders.

So now Lupin wants to help Pettigrew again and let him join in. It can make money and become famous, which is really a good thing.

Xiang Nan had some doubts about this.

…

He knew that Peter Pettigrew had a great character flaw. He was born with low self-esteem, so he admired the strong very much. He would cling to whoever was strong. He could be said to be a fence-sitter.

Moreover, he was very dark inside. No matter how good he was to him, he would not be grateful and would sell him out. He had no guilt at all for betraying his friends.

Therefore, such a person was basically an ungrateful person and could not be fed at all.

Unlike Little Barty, although Little Barty was a villain in the original book, he was not mean.

He had strength, ideals, and ambitions, but he took the wrong path and stood on the opposite side of the protagonists, just like Nalan Yuanshu in "Huang Feihong: A Man Should Be Self-reliant", who was a type that could be saved.

So Xiang Nan wanted to pull Little Barty, but didn't want to care about Pettigrew.

Little Barty could still be saved, but Pettigrew really couldn't be raised.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Xiang Nan finally nodded.

On the one hand, he didn't want to offend Lupin, and now they really need to increase manpower, otherwise, they really can't complete so many orders.

And now is an extraordinary period, each order may be related to a life, so it is right to increase manpower.

Although Pettigrew is a despicable person, he is actually quite strong. In the fifth grade, he learned Animagus and was hunted by Sirius. He destroyed half of the street with a spell and killed thirteen people. Not only did he escape successfully, but he also successfully framed him.

Even after joining the Order of the Phoenix, he passed messages to Voldemort for a whole year, and Dumbledore hadn't found out yet. This shows his strength.

On the one hand, he knew the details of Peter Pettigrew, but Pettigrew didn't know that he knew, which ensured that it would be difficult for Pettigrew to do evil. And putting him in front of his eyes would also help monitor him and restrain him.

Pettigrew is very good at disguising himself. Not to mention that ordinary people are easily fooled by him, even friends like Sirius and Lupin who have known him for several years are easily deceived by him.

So when James and Lily were betrayed, Sirius and Lupin thought that the other party was a traitor, and no one suspected Pettigrew.

Therefore, if Peter Pettigrew runs outside by himself, I don't know how many people he will deceive. On the contrary, keeping him by your side can better watch him.

"Okay, since he is your friend, what else can I say." Xiang Nan smiled, "If he wants to come, come, anyway, we have to expand our manpower. Just join the production team first, and calculate the salary by piecework."

He plans to expand the business. In addition to the R&D team, he will add another production team to bring in Joey, Benjamin, Gregory and others. Even those in the third and fourth grades who have certain strengths can be brought in.

By then, not only will the production be increased, but everyone can be organized together, which will be a great force. Just like Dumbledore's Army in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix".

An organized and powerful wizard group has considerable combat power.

The strength of the Death Eaters is not strong, but dozens of Death Eaters combined together can mess up the British wizarding world, which shows the power of the organization.
