Chapter 346: Caught and Released, Flintlock Pistol

Fudge received the news not long after Jeans was taken away.

The Minister of Magic was startled and immediately led people back to the Ministry of Magic.

He looked at Jeans sitting on the chair waiting for interrogation, and he was embarrassed and glared at Amos Diggory.

Can you be more discerning? Why arrest him when you can arrest someone else?

Amos was made guilty by the look of his immediate superior, but he still said with courage: "Minister, he was found at the crime scene, very suspicious."

"Shut up, Amos." Fudge said coldly, "Mr. Jeans would never do such a thing, he has no suspicion, understand?"

"Minister Cornelius, since this is a misunderstanding, can I leave?" Jeans asked slowly, "My young master is still waiting for me there!"

"Of course, of course."

Amos was still a little unwilling, but he was a higher-ranking official, so he could only watch the suspect Apparition move away.

"Huh!" Fudge wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a sigh of relief, "Finally he left.

Sit down! Amos, I know you have a lot of questions, and I need to calm down too."

"Fudge, what is his status? Is he worthy of your serious treatment?"

"No status, but you should be thankful that he didn't hold you accountable, otherwise no one can protect you." Fudge said meaningfully, "When I was still an employee of the Ministry of Magic, he was chatting and laughing with the previous Minister."

"You mean Minister Millicent Barnold?" Amos showed a touch of shock on his face. The minister served for ten years and had a good popularity in the magic world until his retirement.

"Yes! Who else could it be besides her?

But it's definitely not just her. The leader of Sir Merlin's group, the president of the Magic Council, the famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel, etc., etc. It can be said that the elders of the magic world will give Mr. Jins some face.

'They will not interfere in any disputes in the magic world, but their contributions are unmatched, and this contribution began thousands of years ago.' These are the original words of former Minister Barnold.

But what impressed me most was the respectful tone when she said this. Before I took office, she specifically warned me to maintain twelve points of respect for those families."

Hearing this, Amos Diggory's back was soaked with cold sweat, "Minister, do you think I should go and apologize to him?"

"That's not necessary." Fudge waved his hand, "He is willing to cooperate with you to come here, which shows that he doesn't take this matter to heart. Just pay attention to it in the future."

......

On the other side, Weasley's tent.

Arthur asked his sons to make room for Aaron so that he could have a good rest.

But just as they started to make the bed, a figure suddenly appeared inside the tent.

"Mr. Jeans, are you back so soon?" Arthur asked in disbelief, "It's been less than half an hour."

"It's just a simple investigation, it doesn't take much time." Jeans explained casually, then looked at Aaron, "Did you disappoint the young master?"

"From the moment you took the initiative to cooperate, I knew you would be back soon." Aaron shook his head with emotion, "But the speed is more outrageous than I thought."

"What about Master Leon and Miss Adrian?"

"Of course they Apparated back." Aaron said.

Jeans did not doubt it, simply thanked Arthur Weasley and took Aaron back to their own tent.

The next day, Aaron was awakened by his biological clock.

After breakfast, Jeans put away the tent.

"Master, I suggest using Apparition to go back."

"No need for the door key?" Aaron raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"The situation has changed. The wizards at the venue have surrounded the portkey manager. Everyone is eager to leave here.

If we queue up, we will probably have to wait until the sun sets."

"I understand." Aaron said indifferently, then picked up Abe and Apparated away.

After returning to the castle, the house elf delivered two copies of today's Daily Prophet to Aaron and Jins.

"The horrific scene at the Quidditch World Cup." Aaron looked at the black and white illustration of the Dark Mark in the newspaper and couldn't help curling his lips. "Wizard reporters are really professional. Did they do the interview overnight?

The newspaper mentioned the Ministry of Magic's negligence and the dark wizards at large, which brought shame to the country. If Fudge saw it, he would probably be very angry!"

"It was written by Rita Kister." Jins showed disdain, "She is the most unprofessional among all reporters."

"But what she wrote is also the most eye-catching." Aaron put down the newspaper with a smile, "Unless there is bigger news, the Ministry of Magic may be busy next!"

"There will be bigger news." Jins smiled confidently, "It just takes some time."

"Have you received any news?"

"Almost! Miss Adrian mentioned it, but she didn't let me tell you."

"Jinns." Aaron looked at him with an unhappy face, "Please make it clear, Adrian is at most a distinguished guest, I am your young master."

"This is also what the master and his wife mean." Jinns added lightly.

Aaron was stunned for a moment, and laughed awkwardly: "It seems that I am at the bottom of the food chain, but you should not use them to pressure me."

"I can only tell you that this is another grand event, and it is related to Hogwarts.

In addition, I will give you a small tip. There is a dress robe on the list of items issued by Hogwarts."

Hearing this, Aaron frowned slightly, it sounded like it was related to some formal party.

But he didn't care much, these little things Jinns could handle casually.

......

Aaron began his leisurely holiday life before school started. He didn't go to cram school anymore. In addition to daily check-ins, he studied the defensive magic taught to him by Weihet.

Arger's forging room is a place he must go every day, because every time he can see the progress bar of the magic weapon forging move forward a little. It was not until the beginning of school that Aaron had the opportunity to see the birth of his first magic weapon with his own eyes.

In the forging room, countless precision parts floated in the air, and each one exuded a dazzling brilliance.

"How is it?" Arger asked proudly, "I spent more than two months to make this batch of parts, and then asked Weihet to enchant them. Each part is engraved with enchantment magic arrays, and each array complements each other to maximize the power."

"It's eye-opening!" Aaron exclaimed, "But they are just parts now."

"It can be assembled now, but I think we should add the last material.

Your blood is also needed, so that it can be considered bound to you, and you will only be recognized as the master in the future."

"No problem."

Aaron decisively took out the magic wand and crossed his palm.

Isn't it just bleeding? I'm very familiar with it.

The crimson blood gushed out of the wound, automatically flew into the air and turned into countless blood threads.

The blood threads slowly merged into the enchanted magic circle, and the light emitted by the parts also took on a touch of crimson.

Alger stretched out his right hand towards the parts, chanted a spell, and countless parts began to assemble automatically.

Gradually, a silver-black flintlock pistol more than 30 centimeters long fell in front of Aaron. From the barrel to the grip, it was as smooth as a mirror, with several exquisite golden patterns on both sides.

Gulu!

Aaron couldn't help swallowing his saliva and nervously took it in his hand.

Not light or heavy, it feels great.

"I made a lot of improvements, breech loading, and a capacity of eight rounds.

As for the specific rate of fire and range, you can try it yourself!" As Alger said, he stepped lightly on the ground, and the red lava formed a thick wall.

Aaron nodded, aimed at the wall and pulled the trigger.

Bang!

A huge roar hummed, and a bowl-sized pit appeared on the wall.

"This..." Aaron frowned. This power was much stronger than an ordinary gun, but it was far from what he had imagined.

"Try injecting magic power." Alger reminded.

Aaron suddenly realized and injected his own magic power into the gun body. The golden lines on the surface of the flintlock quickly lit up.

As the trigger was pulled again, a ball of red light shot out from the muzzle, and a strong air wave mixed with countless gravel flew in all directions.

A big hole was blasted out of the wall, and the door of the second secret room could be seen through the hole.

"Not bad."

"It seems that you are not satisfied!" Alger teased, "The power of this gun depends on how much magic you inject. You didn't even use one tenth of its power just now."

"I can feel this." Aaron looked at the flintlock pistol in his hand, "It can absorb a limited amount of magic, right?"

"Nonsense, even a divine weapon has its limits, not to mention that it is just a divine weapon."

"Ancestor, if the power of this gun is fully exerted, can it kill a dragon?"

"Unfortunately, it can hurt a dragon, or even injure a dragon, but it is far from killing it.

Even injuring a dragon requires a lot of magic. With your current power as a beginner magician, firing ten shots is enough. The limit."

"It's acceptable, at least it can fight dragons with it."

"You must not think so." Alger warned, "The vitality of a dragon is not ordinary. If it is angered, it may not even have a chance to fire a second shot."

"I know, I'm not stupid." Aaron smiled and shook his head, "Then is there any way to improve the power of this gun?"

"Firearms have reached their limit at this point. If you want to improve it, you can only work on bullets. There is a big gap between ordinary bullets and enchanted bullets."

"I see, then if it is equipped with enchanted bullets, can it kill dragons?"

Alger staggered, his eyes twitching constantly, not understanding why this child has a special liking for dragons.

"It depends on the materials used and the degree of enchantment.

The bullet that can kill a dragon, that kind of disposable consumable is probably not less valuable than the gun in your hand. "

Aaron nodded thoughtfully. If the gun is compared to a wind crossbow, then the bullet needs to be of the black arrow level. The two must be used together to penetrate the dragon armor.
