Connor's Hogwarts

"Conn-na-my friend, it's so nice to meet you smoothly."

The almost headless Sir Nicholas jumped into Connor's laboratory and gave Connor a warm hug. "Are you coming to my 500th anniversary party tomorrow? If you can come, I will Very happy!"

"I'm sorry, Sir Nick. Although I would be happy to attend the appointment, you know that I am not a free man now. I have to accompany my girlfriend to the school Halloween party."

Connor opened his eyes with a smile and told lies. He didn't want to attend any ghost banquet at all. He had participated in several small gatherings of ghosts out of curiosity before. It's hard to imagine what Connor went through.

The chilling will-o'-the-wisp candles, the heartbreaking see-saw music, and the moldy and rotten food and snacks. It was simply not a place that humans could stay. Anyway, Connor would never go there again in his life.

"Ah~ That's such a pity. In fact, I also invited a few little wizards from Gryffindor this time. I hope you can help liven up the atmosphere." Nick shook his head and sighed.

"Huh? Someone else agreed... No, I mean, who else did you invite?" Connor did not have any information about Nick's death anniversary banquet in his memory (because this part is not in the movie).

"It's Harry! The famous Harry Potter, he and his friends agreed to come to my death anniversary party!" Nick said happily: "Of course, I won't let them know that I am recruiting new people. It’s a matter of concern, you can rest assured about this.”

Nick wants to recruit workers for the ghost factory at his death anniversary party. This has been planned for a long time. Connor also hopes that he will do this job as soon as possible, because the factory is currently short of manpower and the output cannot keep up. The wizarding world has no hope for God. The demand for pens is greater than imagined.

As for whether he can recruit people, Connor is not worried about this, because Connor knows very well what the ghosts desire most - they long to restore their human perceptions, touch, smell, and taste. These things are very important to the ghosts. It's more important than anything else.

Just like the rotten food at the ghost banquet that smells ridiculously strong, they get this kind of anti-human stuff just to feel a little "taste". Life as a ghost is really difficult.

In fact, if a ghost really wants to possess something, it is quite easy, such as those ordinary stone statues or golems. The ghost can possess it and then control them to indirectly affect the world. This level can still be achieved, with wizards. Help would go more smoothly, but few ghosts would want to do that.

Because what they want is not a body without feeling, they want to smell the fragrance, taste the taste, and really touch things. Even if they are possessed by some demon dolls, they can't feel any pain. This is a good thing for them. It's meaningless for ghosts. Not everyone has the ability of the four giants of Hogwarts to create golems that are just like ordinary people (referring to Rowena and Helena).

But Connor's magic painting can give them everything they want.

The ghost fused with the magic painting can have real perception. Although it cannot eat real food, it can eat magic painting food. In theory, it can be done by drawing the magic painting with only the magic pen, but letting the soul and the magic painting As far as Connor knows, the secret method of painting fusion is only available to the Lake family (there may be some other families who have it, or someone is already researching it, but for now it is still only available to the Lake family).

This is why Connor is not worried about not being able to recruit workers. Looking at it from another perspective, it should be those ghosts begging Connor to paint for them.

Moreover, if the ghosts were like Nick and used the magic paintings made by [The Finishing Touch] as their bodies, then there would be almost no difference between them and real humans!

In fact, [The finishing touch] is still the most advanced magic that Connor has mastered so far. Although Connor is already relatively proficient in using the finishing touch to draw dead objects, it is still very troublesome to use it to draw people.

If he wants to use this magic to draw a complete human magic painting, it will take almost a day. If he does not have the right elixir, Connor will most likely fail to cast the spell - to finish a painting with this "finishing touch" The level magic painting will take several hours, and within a day after that, Connor will enter a weak state with debuffs.

[The finishing touch] is such an advanced magic with high requirements, high consumption, and long casting time.

Especially when drawing people, in the past two years, Connor actually only cast the spell perfectly three times. They were Artoria, Angel and Gandalf. Two of them were drawn after drinking Felixir, so don't I thought Connor could draw this kind of painting casually.

Naturally, the magic paintings in the ghost factory cannot all use magic paintings of the finishing touch, which will tire Connor to death (in fact, he is just lazy). Except for Nick, the "director", Connor uses magic paintings in the factory. [Ghost workers] Most of them are ordinary magic paintings that must be stuck to the picture frame. With the magic power supplied by the magic stone, they can carry the picture frame around in the factory. Although the life experience is a little worse, it is still Not a big problem.

As for why the ghosts should know that Connor can draw magic paintings that are out of the frame, it is of course to give them hope in life and more motivation to work. Even if they know that others can make the magic paintings and ghosts merge, they will not Will betray easily, after all, this is really the only one in this family.

Although there must be people in the Far East who know this thing. But these Western ghosts don’t know, right?

If the outside world knew that Connor could draw magic paintings out of the frame, emmm, God knows what would happen. Anyway, he didn't intend to let others know about his ability until Connor was ready.

Connor put down the experiment at hand and chatted with Nick: "By the way, Nick, how many ghosts are there in the UK?"

"In the UK? As far as I know, there are probably more than two hundred. Mrs. Polly also ascended to heaven a few days ago. There are fewer and fewer ghosts now," Nick said sadly.

Shouldn't you be happy for someone else when she ascends to heaven?

"More than two hundred?" Connor thought carefully and said, "Ghost may also be able to form a unique industrial chain."

"What did you say?"

"Sir Nick, we will eventually announce the secret of [the ability of ghosts to combine with magic paintings]. Although not now, it won't be long. After all, even if we don't announce it, other wizards will discover this secret."

Connor spread his hands and said, "By then your ghosts will no longer be unrestrained objects, and the Ministry of Magic will also issue laws on ghost management."

"Well, this is indeed something that is conceivable."

"So we have to capture this market as soon as possible. Although there are very few ghosts now, it doesn't mean there will be very few in the future. I think there will probably be many wizards who want to change their profession to ghosts in the future..."

Connor shrugged: "This may be a good way to make money. How about Sir Nick, are you interested in running a business? Do you want to join us and make money together?"
