The next day, Ron came to Kayson's office again as agreed yesterday, but this time he was listless and lacked energy.
Of course, this situation wasn't unique to Ron; it could be said that all the Little Wizardss at Hogwarts were the same.
Because The Daily Prophet had pulled a new stunt this morning, though it wasn't exactly The Daily Prophet's doing this time.
Strictly speaking, The Daily Prophet was just reporting the news normally this time; the Ministry of Magic was behind this particular stunt.
In short, the Ministry of Magic prohibited Little Wizardss under the age of eighteen from purchasing and using flying brooms.
Kayson was dumbfounded the moment he saw this newspaper. How dare Fudge?
The main target audience for flying brooms was Little Wizardss under eighteen who hadn't learned Apparition yet and still enjoyed playing Quidditch. Wizards over eighteen, unless their job required a flying broom or they were professional Quidditch players, basically wouldn't step into a flying broom shop all year round.
Moreover, the manufacture of flying brooms was mostly controlled by Pure-blood families and the Alchemist Association, and now Fudge had just pulled the rug out from under both the Pure-blood families and the Alchemist Association...
??????????
"Why hasn't he committed suicide yet? Like, a good old suicide with sixteen Avada curses in the back?" Kayson looked at the newspaper with an unnatural expression.
Ron said with a bitter face, "I'm curious too."
Just as the two of them were bewildered, another owl landed on Kayson's office desk through the window.
Kayson tore open the envelope, glanced at it, and naturally signed his name on one of the lists with a quill.
"What's that?" Ron asked.
"A joint letter from the Alchemist Association. After all, Fudge didn't just target the Pure-blood families this time; he also targeted the Alchemist Association. So now, the Alchemist Association needs to unite and cause some trouble for Fudge," Kayson said, resealing the envelope and handing it to the owl.
After letting the owl go, he looked at The Daily Prophet's report again, which happened to define flying brooms.
Any broom equipped with a flying magic engine counted as a flying broom.
But what if it didn't have a flying magic engine?
Kayson couldn't help but look up at the ceiling.
Since he joined the Alchemist Association, whenever something happened, his friends in the association always gave their full support, whether it was various experiments or being tried by the Wizengamot; they never hesitated. So now that the Alchemist Association was in trouble because of Fudge's impulsive stunt, he naturally needed to reciprocate and help them out.
And since Fudge had gone to the trouble of defining flying brooms... then he...
He would start with this flying magic engine. He could completely create a completely different flying engine and then give the patent rights to the Alchemist Association.
In that case, would a flying broom without a traditional engine still be considered a flying broom? Naturally, it wouldn't be subject to the Ministry of Magic's ban.
Of course, if Fudge continued to cause trouble, for example, by banning the new version of flying brooms...
Hmph hmph hmph, my Kayson's sword is not without its sharpness!
"Professor, am I still learning today?" Ron asked, looking at the pensive Kayson.
The latter snapped out of his thoughts: "Learn! Why wouldn't you?"
He wasn't lacking a laborer. In fact, he could create a flying device with his eyes closed, but the problem was, what if Fudge was truly brainless and banned his flying device too?
This is where Ron's role became prominent: something invented by a Hogwarts fifth-year Little Wizards, and you won't let Hogwarts Little Wizardss use it?
How dare you?
Of course, if Fudge really had that much nerve...
Sigh...
Soon, Kayson created a flying device using slime blocks, pistons, and redstone. This thing could originally only crawl on the ground, but if given an angle, it could move anywhere, as if it had an invisible runway beneath it.
And adding a redstone clock to the pistons could increase the flying speed, making it very useful.
Soon, Kayson sent the prototype, accompanying thesis, and a letter to the Alchemist Association. He had solved the engine problem; now it was up to the Alchemist Association to challenge the Ministry of Magic and find loopholes.
As for whether other Alchemists could create the flying engine he made using MC and his 'I Think' power...
The answer is yes.
Before, when he only had MC power, MC Alchemy was indeed his patent, and his teaching could only be shared in very few parts.
But after gaining 'I Think' power, it was as if the rules of the entire world had been changed by 'I Think' power. Once he created the first prototype, if others followed the steps and techniques correctly, what Kayson made was exactly what they would make!
"Oh, by the way, Ron, if they really adopt this patent, you'll receive a very generous royalty for every flying broom they sell," Kayson suddenly said.
"Professor, I feel like this money is charity from you," Ron said with a bitter face.
"It's not charity. Your signature is very useful. I ask you, if Fudge tries to use the so-called age issue to prohibit underage Little Wizardss from using it again, I can directly throw your signature in his face. After all, even this new engine was co-invented by an underage Little Wizards, so why shouldn't he allow underage Little Wizardss to use it?" Kayson explained this time, appealing to both reason and emotion.
It also counted as Harry and the other two giving him a lesson in human relations yesterday, which he immediately put into practice.
"But Professor, if we really want all Little Wizardss to be able to use it, wouldn't it be safer to find a first-year Little Wizards? With my signature, Fudge might just casually change it to 'Little Wizardss below fifth year cannot use flying brooms'," Ron said, pursing his lips.
Kayson sighed helplessly, "So you won't accept, right?"
"Professor, I really feel bad accepting your unlimited help," Ron said somewhat awkwardly.
"Alright."
"Hmm... come again tomorrow. We'll learn about flying brooms."
Ron nodded, "Thank you, Professor!"
