Primordial Warlock of Hogwarts

Chapter 37 Magical Crossbow

DeWitt had little time to spare.

Now, with the Hogwarts library providing information, the complicated part that was almost coming to an end can finally come to an end.He compared the magic materials in another world with what he had in this world, and found corresponding ones with similar properties. All that was left was to try them.

If you have been in the wizarding world for a long time, you can only choose a smart one among your friends who have just entered the wizarding world. Therefore, the one who can help DeWitt is Hermione, and it can only be Hermione. In fact, the Weasley twins have different personalities. It was good that they didn't change their original way of getting along because DeWitt caused Gryffindor to lose points, but the twins had some backgrounds after all, so it was risky to find them.

"Are you here?" Hagrid said this time after DeWitt knocked on Hagrid's door: "You came too early this time."

"Here's the agreed list, Hagrid." DeWitt took out a neatly folded piece of parchment from his arms, held it up, and said to Hagrid, "Take a look."

Hagrid breathed on his fingers, twisted them again, and unfolded the parchment very carefully. He stretched his neck, stared into his dark round eyes and read: "Honey, wood, metal blocks, antlers, teeth, nails, intestines." ?!" Hagrid raised his voice: "Isn't this really some kind of black magic?"

"Ah, don't get me wrong, look carefully - animal intestines are fine, I didn't say I wanted human intestines."

"And the body tissues of magical animals..." Hagrid almost put his eyes on the paper.

"Actually, the organs of magical animals - fur, internal organs - the more they can reflect the characteristics of this magical animal, the better the effect should be." This is part of the reason why DeWitt likes animals, and it is indispensable when making props: "The source of elements can be extracted from the bodies of magical animals. The more powerful the animals, the more they can be extracted. Do you have crossbow arrows?"

"Of course." Hagrid didn't understand, but he could see that DeWitt wanted to experiment for himself, so he took out a basket of crossbow arrows from the house - they said they were crossbow arrows, but the length was too long for a normal person. Longer than a bow and arrow.

Most of the arrows were rusty and the shape was not perfect. Only four crossbow arrows could still reflect some light.

"You...are not very useful." DeWitt said.

"The Forbidden Forest is actually quite safe." Hagrid must have thought of something in the Forbidden Forest. He laughed a few times and said, "Usually weapons are of no use at all."

"Then I'll do a few less so you can see the effect first."

The only ready-made materials in Hagrid's hut were honey, oil, and a few animal teeth, and he took three crossbow arrows. DeWitt "combined" the crossbow arrows with these three materials in front of the workbench, and he didn't see him casting any spells." "Combination" is Combination 1, which brings the materials into direct contact with each other. Then, with Hagrid's subtle eyes, he handed it over and said, "Look, this pink one with honey in it is a charm arrow, which can temporarily make the enemy join you." .”

"Really, really?" Hagrid didn't believe it, because no matter how you looked at it, it was just pouring honey on the arrowhead - of course, why the crossbow arrow glowed pink was a problem.

"Of course it's true," DeWitt continued: "The oil-soaked one will slow down the enemy when shot out, and the animal-toothed one may knock down an unsuspecting enemy when it is shot."

Hagrid couldn't bear to speak to interrupt DeWitt's thoughts, because DeWitt was speaking too seriously.

"You don't believe it, do you?" DeWitt could see the distrust in Hagrid's opening and closing of his mouth and the hesitant eyes that glanced around.

"No!" Hagrid retorted immediately, but it was true that he didn't believe it. He stammered in defense: "It's just... it's just..."

"Let's try it!" DeWitt ran to the huge crossbow, lifted it up, first put the shock arrow made of animal teeth into the crossbow's chute, then used some strength to pull the string, and lifted it. After getting up, he aimed at a tree in the distance.

"Can I shoot that tree?" Of course DeWitt had to ask, but before Hagrid could say anything, he changed his mind: "It's not a good idea to shoot the tree. Shoot the bush, right?"

When Hagrid said "OK", DeWitt pressed the trigger of the crossbow and accurately shot a low bush.It's okay if he doesn't shoot, but when he does shoot, after the crossbow arrow hits the target, the entire crossbow arrow suddenly disappears.

Hagrid's eyes widened, thinking that it was dark and he had made a mistake. The crossbow arrow must still be somewhere, but he couldn't find it.But the next moment, the shrub began to shake not too violently, and it kept shaking until most of the evergreen leaves floated away, and then it gradually stopped.

"You...you didn't use magic??"

"No," DeWitt could use it, but he really didn't, so he took out the wand from his waist and shook it and said, "Look, I just took out the wand."

"It's so amazing?"

"What if the material of this animal tooth could be better - for example, how about a dragon tooth? Not to mention the lethality of the crossbow itself, the shock alone should be able to shatter a tree."

"The other two..."

"Let's try it too." DeWitt also wanted to see the specific effect. He put the pink charm arrow into the crossbow, pulled the string again and said, "Are there any small animals here?"

"There are some chickens in the back," Hagrid said.

After DeWitt fired a charm arrow at the big cockscomb-tailed rooster who never looked directly at anyone and was extremely arrogant, the big rooster made a cry like an old hen and ran around him, following him willingly. He was eating ashes behind him, and when he woke up after a while, the big cock stood there for a long time, unable to accept the fact that had just happened.

"I bow to human beings, I bow to human beings..." It muttered and got into the corner of the chicken coop.

From disbelief at the beginning to disbelief now, Hagrid was dumbfounded and felt that he had missed too much knowledge. He thought that DeWitt had learned this by himself at Hogwarts, and he sincerely praised: "awesome."

But in DeWitt's eyes, this is just a simple prop that anyone can make. Even as long as someone gets the finished product, they can reverse the materials and start manufacturing directly.So he pointed to the remaining materials and said to Hagrid: "It's not a big deal. Come on, try it - it's very simple to make."

Under DeWitt's guidance, Hagrid also tried to make it, and soon had results. It looked no different from the finished product DeWitt had made just now.

Then Hagrid also pulled up the crossbow string, and aimed a charm arrow at the big cock before.

But something unfortunate happened.

The crossbow arrow made by Hagrid did not disappear and exert special effects after hitting the target. Instead, it directly penetrated the body of the big rooster. Amidst the flying colorful feathers and white down, the big rooster appeared in Hagrid and Dewei's eyes. Te died looking at each other.

"Humans! You actually want to come again..." The big rooster crowed really fiercely, and even when eating chicken legs a while later, DeWitt could still recall the tone of the big rooster.

1: Originally, I wanted to use a lot of settings to make the system of forging items in "Divinity Original Sin" more reasonable. After thinking about it, I felt that it was really unnecessary. It looked troublesome and annoying, so I just did it like this - —This is how items are synthesized. It’s a bit stiff, but easy to understand.
