Once the fight started, it was hard to stop. Lupin struggled to manipulate the spell, and Felix was fighting with him for control of the transformed entity. Half of the gravel on the field turned into cats and mice, and the other half turned into fat sniffers. They took funny steps and pressed their butts on the cats and mice, making them scream.
On the other side, Snape's spells were fast and urgent. When he encountered the oncoming spells, he did not dodge or avoid them, but relied on his superb reaction speed to deflect the spells at the last moment. His casting speed was at least twice faster than that of ordinary people.
However, Felix was not slow either. He seemed to have no limit. While suppressing Lupin, he could also pull out his hands to fight him. From time to time, he used gestures to cast spells and propped up moving golden shields.
Snape felt sick. He couldn't think of a better word. The golden shield was extremely resistant to spells. With two or three spells coming at him, he had no choice but to use a more powerful spell to freeze them in place, but the next second the shield turned into a small snake, nimbly moving on the ground.
What surprised him even more was that for some simple spells, even if he hit Felix, the spell slid down his chest.
"Human Armor Curse... Professor, I was actually a little careless. It's not my most powerful defensive magic. If you use the Cutting Curse just now, I might bleed a little."
At the end of the battle, Snape and Lupin worked together to release a small black hurricane. The building made a buzzing sound, and the gravel on the ground was torn and rolled in, making its momentum look even more terrifying.
It was fifty or sixty feet high, occupying one-third of the castle, and made a "woohoo" whistling sound, and several people were forced to retreat.
"That's a bit of a stretch." Felix raised his lips. It was easy to hide, but it would take some effort to defeat them head-on. Moreover, his goal was never to win.
At this moment, the light in the castle began to flicker. Felix looked up. The chandelier on the top was pulled by a small hurricane and shook violently, making a creaking groan as it could not bear the heavy load.
A milky white ball was sucked down and rolled into the hurricane. Under the action of external forces, it began to twist and expand... Bright beams of light passed through the black hurricane, like countless lightsabers piercing a broken pocket. Its light shone in the dim space and on their dim faces.
Finally, the beams of light disappeared together with the hurricane.
Snape was stunned for a while. "It's boring." He put away his wand and prepared to leave.
"Don't go, professor," Felix held him back and said with a smile, "After the welcome ceremony, we should discuss the future of the company."
"That's your future company." Snape said coldly.
"It's our 'future'." Felix looked at him.
Ten minutes later, Felix bowed to Dobby and said apologetically, "Sorry for bothering you, Dobby."
"Leave it to me, Mr. Happ, Dobby finally has something to do." The house-elf patted his chest and said, the tips of his slender fingers glowed, and the ruins on the ground returned to their original positions.
Snape, Lupin and Felix came to the large room on the second floor and sat down in three groups.
Felix said sincerely, "Professor Lupin, Severus and I spend most of our time teaching at Hogwarts, and we don't have much energy to focus on this. I can only formulate strategies from a general direction, and the specific management still depends on you."
Perhaps because he was tired of fighting, Snape did not raise any objections.
Lupin thought seriously for a while, "What do you need me to do?"
"Study."
"Study?" Lupin asked doubtfully.
Felix said, "Dumbledore said when he interviewed me that I hope to introduce wisdom from the non-magical world. The magic world has been closed for too many years. Even if things that are commonplace in the outside world are slightly modified, they will profoundly change the entire magic world. Therefore, learning is necessary."
Snape looked at Felix meaningfully. He saw some information in the temporary office of the LCA building. Even if only one tenth of it is realized, it will bring about earth-shaking changes to the magic world.
Starting from the lives of all wizards, it is really... cunning as always.
Felix pulled out a stack of parchments and let them float in front of Lupin. "I don't want to make any shocking products, but - how do you say it? Like spring rain, moistening things silently, so that the company's products will become an indispensable part of every wizard without knowing it."
"We can start with wizard families, such as magic lamps, such as magic air conditioning. You can imagine that with just such a small box, it can keep the temperature within a diameter of 20 feet constant at the most suitable level."
Lupin fiddled with the small box that floated in front of him. He tried to inject a little magic power, and the temperature around him immediately dropped, just like the wind in March blowing on his body, bringing him a little coolness.
"This is just an example. In fact, I have made some similar things. You can understand it as a prototype. You can make improvements on this basis and imagine different application scenarios."
"Then the profit..." Lupin has been convinced. In his opinion, this is a good thing. He began to consider the development of the company.
"Don't consider profits for now," Felix nodded and said, "In addition to what I just mentioned, I hope you can find suitable magic, not limited to ancient magic, alchemy, or obscure spells, and it is best to formulate effective standards and processes."
"Remus, we are creating history."
Lupin admitted that he was persuaded. His heart became lively little by little and found meaning again.
"How many people are there in the company now?" Lupin asked.
"You, me, Severus, Dobby, and Miss Clearwater who just left," Felix counted on his fingers, "I have arranged other interviews in the next week, about... about three hundred people."
Lupin's eyes went dark, "You mean, you won't let me..."
"Well, after all, the R&D team will be handed over to you, it's best for you to go through it yourself, but I can provide a list of people I like, maybe it will be of some use." Felix said.
"I will also help, this summer." He added.
Lupin felt that the word "help" was a bit harsh. This was not his company at all. "Then when the full moon comes..."
"Severus will be responsible for providing the wolfsbane potion and the preparation of some alchemical materials." Felix said that he inherited a lot of alchemical knowledge from Nico Flamel, and among them, the most representative of a great alchemist's background is the recipes of various enchanted materials.
Some alchemical symbols can only work with special enchanted materials. This was originally a disadvantage, but with continuous development, various recipes have become more and more perfect, and it has completely become the mainstream.
Just because it solves the problem of entry-level talent, it has become the first choice of wizards, and the decline of ancient magic runes is not without reason.
"In addition, we need to do one more thing during this summer vacation." Felix said, "Transform a magic factory."
"Magic... factory?" Lupin asked. He understood both words, but when put together, it was a bit confusing.
"Well," Felix waved his wand, sprinkled a golden mist, and the image of an automatic assembly line appeared. "You can just think that it is my imagination. This kind of unmanned production line does not exist in the real world, at least not now." "
This concept comes from the non-magical world. We don't have to accept it all, but pick out the suitable ones, and it is best to complement the magic world. For example, high-precision engraving... For example, batch repetitive work..." "
I contacted an equipment manufacturer. When you are done with the recruitment work, we can go and have a look together." Felix said with a smile.
