Chapter 193: A Double-C Level Two-Way Mirror! On-Site Fusion!
Chapter 193: A Double-C Level Two-Way Mirror! On-Site Fusion!
After some time, it was time to say goodbye.
Although it's Monday and first-year Gryffindors only have one Herbology class in the morning, Harry can't stay in the empty classroom looking at photo albums and whispering to Sirius all the time; they'll have to part ways eventually.
Although Sirius was reluctant, there was nothing he could do. Before parting, he took two small, square mirrors out of his suitcase and handed one to Harry.
“Harry, this is a two-way mirror. If you hold this mirror and call my name, the two mirrors will connect, and we can see each other and talk to each other.”
Sirius explained, "James and I used to communicate using two-way mirrors when the professors were putting us in solitary confinement."
"This is good stuff!"
Before Harry could reply, Dudley, who was standing nearby, showed a look of surprise.
Upon hearing this, Harry handed the mirror he was holding to his cousin without any hesitation.
Sirius was a little embarrassed.
His brief time with Harry couldn't compare to the ten-year bond between Harry and Dudley.
Dudley ignored Sirius's embarrassment and, taking advantage of Sirius's momentary daze, snatched the mirror from Sirius's hand.
They took them in their hands to examine them.
This is an extremely useful double-C grade magical item! It's highly valuable for fusion!
The term "double C grade" means that both mirrors of this double-sided mirror are classified as C grade in the external system's appraisal and rating system.
One mirror makes one C, so two mirrors naturally make two Cs.
Moreover, to fuse these two mirrors, you can only use two C-grade magic item fusion opportunities. You can fuse both mirrors at the same time, and you can't do it in installments; you can only fuse one mirror at a time.
"Dudley, I use this two-way mirror to communicate with Harry!"
Sirius saw Dudley staring at the two-way mirror with a sly look in his eyes and couldn't help but remind him.
"I know!"
Dudley didn't look away and replied casually, "This thing would only be convenient for you and Harry, but it's a completely different story in my hands."
"What's different? The mirror is still the same..."
Sirius didn't understand Dudley's meaning and was asking him in confusion when he suddenly discovered that the two mirrors in Dudley's hands had vanished without a trace, as if they had been vanished by a vanishing spell.
"what--"
Sirius Black's eyes widened, and after a two-second moment of surprise and silence, he let out a sharp, piercing scream, "Dudley, you took my two-way mirror..."
"Stop howling! Some things are more useful when they're gone than when they were there!"
Dali replied and then focused intently on the system notification after he issued the fusion command with his mind.
[Command executed! Consumes 2 C-grade magic item fusion attempts.]
[Current remaining: 1 attempt for Grade A, 2 attempts for Grade B, 2 attempts for Grade C, 3 attempts for Grade D, 1 attempt for Grade E.]
【Congratulations to the host! 】
[Gain the ability to make video calls using mirror image transmission!]
From this point on, you can expend magic to condense a mirror mark and attach it to any intelligent being that does not object.
A target with a mirror mark can make audio and video calls by touching the mirror mark on their body and calling out the name of another target with a mirror mark.
They can conjure magical mirrors out of thin air for video calls, or simply use the mirror markings on their bodies for audio calls.
Only two people are allowed to talk to each other at the same time; multi-party calls are not allowed simultaneously.
The host can monitor and manage the usage of the entire video communication network through their thoughts. Furthermore, if the host wants to conduct audio or video calls with any target on the network, there is no need to touch the mirror mark or call out the other party's name; it can be done simply by controlling the conversation with their mind.
[Gain partial knowledge and skills in alchemy and magical item modification!]
You have mastered the alchemy and magical manipulation techniques related to creating two-way mirrors!
"What are you talking about? What nonsense are you spouting? Where did the two-way mirror go? How am I supposed to communicate with Harry and see each other anytime now?"
Sirius still didn't understand what Dudley meant.
But Dumbledore and Harry already understood the unspoken agreement.
It must be that Dudley once again used his amazing talent to fuse the two-way mirror.
"I told you, the two-way mirrors are much more useful now!"
Dali then said something else, and then made a request to everyone, "Everyone, show your wrists, whichever hand is more convenient for you!"
Upon hearing this, Harry and Dumbledore rolled up their robe sleeves without hesitation and extended their right wrists.
Sirius was completely confused!
But seeing that Harry and Dumbledore had both done so, he had no choice but to suppress his doubts for the time being and extend his right wrist as well.
"Do not resist my spellcasting!"
Dudley gave another reminder, and then began to use his newly acquired magical ability, extending his fingers to release magic, which conjured three mirror marks the size of fingertips out of thin air.
The pattern on the mirror mark is exactly like a miniature version of a two-way mirror.
The next second, the three mirror marks disappeared into the right wrists of Harry, Dumbledore, and Sirius, forming a small mirror pattern resembling a tattoo on each wrist.
"Similar to using a two-way mirror, press your finger on the mark on the mirror, call out the name of the other person with this mark you want to talk to, and the magic mirror will be condensed so that you can see each other and have a conversation."
Alternatively, you can choose not to condense the magic mirror and simply communicate with each other through the marks.
Of course, I'm an exception. I don't need to add a mirror mark; you can still contact me through it.
Dali explained in detail the function of the mirror mark, and then explained the limitation that only one-to-one calls can be made at the same time.
"Cousin, isn't this a mobile phone from the wizarding world? It's much more advanced than the technological creations of Muggles!"
We can even see each other's images! The only downside is the busy signal, just like with mobile phones—it's very restrictive.
Harry examined the mirror mark on his wrist with curiosity and offered his opinion.
Dudley nodded in agreement. In this day and age, Muggles have already made mobile phones, but they have very few functions and are quite large, making them inconvenient to carry.
"Harry, you have to see the speed of technological development among Muggles. That's something the wizarding world, whose magical heritage is becoming increasingly backward, can't compare to."
I can already see the future. In twenty or thirty years, Muggle cell phones will be far more advanced than our Mirror Mark.
Dudley used this incident to further emphasize the necessity of educational reform at Hogwarts and the inheritance and innovation of the magical world.
Judging from everyone's expressions, Dumbledore and Harry agreed wholeheartedly, while Sirius hadn't even considered this aspect.
He was simply marveling at and amazed by the creativity of the Muggles, and his every move naturally revealed the wizarding community's arrogance and disdain for the Muggle community.
This arrogance is a common problem among most wizards, whether they are pure-blood wizards, half-blood wizards, or even Muggle wizards. After spending a long time in the magical world, they will naturally develop this problem.
Dudley kept this in mind, and he made sure to emphasize it when the Muggle talents taught the Hogwarts professors later.
After all, not discriminating against Muggles out of politeness and genuinely respecting and acknowledging Muggles are two different things.
