The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

the next day.

In the conference hall of the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards.

Link, old Harris and the delegation from the French Ministry of Magic gathered together again.

This is the second day of the mediation meeting process. The original plan was to formally finalize the entire mediation agreement, including the specific compensation amount, apology time, content of the apology article, etc., and write it into the magic contract and sign it.

If everything remains unchanged as discussed in yesterday's meeting, then this is definitely an unacceptable result for the French Ministry of Magic.

So quarrels are inevitable.

However, at this moment, the entire conference hall was extremely silent.

Link, Dumbledore, and old Harris were all concentrating on reading the parchment documents in their hands, while the representatives of the French Ministry of Magic were sitting on the other side of the long table in a daze, looking devastated. .

After a long time, Link put down the documents in his hand first, and sighed long.

What they were looking at just now was the urgent document sent by the French Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards Offices in France.

One thing is clearly described above - large-scale protests and demonstrations broke out in the French magic circle (with a trend of rebellion).

The cause of the matter is quite simple.

The discussion results of the meeting yesterday were leaked out, which eventually led to Norton and more than a dozen staff members of the French Ministry of Magic committing suicide in public in the lobby of the French Ministry of Magic.

Then a series of chain reactions began.

First, the people who witnessed all this in the hall fell into a state of madness and began to attempt to attack the French Ministry of Magic.

After a quarter of an hour of discussion in the French Ministry of Magic's office, a large number of strikers were sent to the French Ministry of Magic, expelled all protesters from the hall, and announced that the French Ministry of Magic temporarily stopped receiving foreign guests.

However, the turmoil did not stop there.

On the contrary, the local French media, like sharks smelling blood, began to frantically report and promote this incident.

Eventually, at their instigation, the populace became angry.

Hundreds of wizards from all over the French magical world gathered at the entrance of the French Ministry of Magic in the center of Place Furstenberg, raising their wands and casting spells in protest.

During this period, more than 20 wizards burned themselves to death in extreme anger.

The French Ministry of Magic didn't make any statement on this, they didn't even do the most basic thing of maintaining order, or sending strikers and Aurors to expel the people in the square again.

The entire French Ministry of Magic seemed to be paralyzed.

However, according to the explanation in the report document, it seems that this cannot be blamed on the on-duty decision-makers in the office of the French Minister of Magic.

Because there are also a large number of people who are dissatisfied with the results of this meeting among the staff of the French Ministry of Magic. The system is emptied, and government orders cannot be issued and implemented at the grassroots level.

Link took a deep look at the French Minister of Magic opposite him.

When such a situation occurs, it can be said that these people are entirely to blame.

The content of yesterday's meeting will not be circulated for no reason.

The only explanation is that there were spies within the delegation of the French Ministry of Magic.

This is actually nothing.

Similar things have happened many times during Fudge's administration. Generally speaking, as long as they take tough measures to control the media and protesters to prevent the situation from deteriorating further, and at the same time use soft policies to appease them to a certain extent, it will be great. To a certain extent, alleviate the dissatisfaction in the society.

It is a pity that in order to show his respect for the International Federation of Wizards at this mediation meeting, and also to put pressure on Link, the French Minister of Magic went all out, including the head of the Auror Command and even the magician. The entire leadership team of the French Ministry of Magic, including the director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, was brought here.

The direct consequence of this is.

The agents they left behind at the French Ministry of Magic simply didn't have enough prestige, nor did they have experience in dealing with such mass incidents.

Ever since, after the incident, their leadership position was very easily emptied.

"It's just too stupid."

Thinking of this, Link couldn't help expressing his true thoughts.

Hearing this, the representatives of the French Ministry of Magic on the opposite side were a little dissatisfied, but the facts before them now made them feel ashamed and couldn't hold their heads up, because even they themselves felt that they were waiting for the previous ones. The operation is really a bit too stupid.

"Mr. Minister, your French Ministry of Magic has caused me a lot of trouble this time."

Old Harris finally spoke.

While talking, he threw a crystal ball.

The crystal ball was rolling on the table, and when it reached the center, a ball of light suddenly exploded from it, showing a picture.

That is Furstenbergplatz at night.

Hundreds of wizards in different costumes are gathering on the square.

They held their wands high, and countless spells were continuously thrown into the sky like fireworks, exploding in the night sky.

And around them, there were panicked Muggles, and Muggle jc who heard the news of the riot and came to check.

Conflicts arose without warning.

A small group of wizards pointed their wands at the Muggles.

After a series of scarlet spell lights flashed, the sound of explosions, screams, cheers and curses resounded throughout Furstenberg Square.

The screen stopped abruptly.

At the end of the scene, a helicopter is shot down.

Judging from the pattern on the side of the helicopter, it seems that this is a report aircraft belonging to the French Muggle media.

"In the past few hours, images similar to this one have spread throughout France. If the Italian and German Ministry of Magic hadn't dispatched emergency intervention teams to France and the French Muggle regime to suppress it, similar The news has probably spread around the world."

Old Harris stared at the delegation of the French Ministry of Magic, his eyes became as sharp as a falcon, "But even so, the spread of news in France is still difficult to contain! This is a serious provocation to the "International Confederation of Wizards Secrecy Act", and it is also The direct consequences of your malfeasance!"

The French Ministry of Magic's face was ashen, and his whole body was shaking.

Facing the angry old Harris, he couldn't even utter a complete sentence, and could only murmur intermittently similar to 'I'm sorry', 'It can't be all my fault' and other vague words.

As for the rest of the delegation, they simply pretended to be ostriches, and all of them lowered their heads and didn't say a word.

Old Harris waved his hands irritably and continued:

"Stop talking about these meaningless sophistry. The International Federation of Wizards' Reversal of Accidental Magic Incident Team and the Amnesiac Deletion Team have set off to the French Ministry of Magic for the next step of news suppression and memory erasure work two hours ago. You also need Stop the continuation of this riot as soon as possible, no matter what the cost!"

"Yes... yes, thank you for your help, I really..."

"You should indeed thank the International Federation of Wizards, but thank you. Since you are the ones who are directly responsible for the riot, you must bear all the related expenses. Someone will bill you for the specific amount afterwards. You Just pay when the time comes."

Hearing this, the French Minister of Magic froze for a moment, then bent down and bowed deeply to old Harris.

But on his face, there was a wry smile.

"Wait."

Link's voice suddenly sounded at this moment.

This made the French Minister of Magic thump again, and instinctively looked up.

However, Link's words were not addressed to him at all, but to old Harris.

"This report shows that the criminal Norton committed suicide, right? If that's the case, how should we proceed with the agreement we made yesterday?"

"Well, that's a problem." Old Harris said after thinking for a moment, "Why don't you let the minister hand over the criminal Norton's body to your disposal, so that you can have an explanation when you bring it back. At the same time As a compensation, how do you feel about increasing the compensation for Jin Jialong?"

Old Harris finished speaking, and before Link could respond, the French Minister of Magic screamed:

"No! This is absolutely not possible!"

Link and old Harris looked over at the same time.

It was only then that the French Minister of Magic noticed his gaffe, lowered his head slightly and begged:

"Mr. Harris, and Your Excellency Foley, we really can't hand over Professor Norton's body! He is the source of this incident and the root of the people's anger. If I hand over his body to you, Let alone appease the gaffe, I am afraid that the angry people will pull down even me, the Minister of Magic!"

Haven't you been pulled down by now?

After such a big incident, do you still think that you can continue to sit in the position of Minister of Magic safely?

I'm afraid you will be forced to consider the matter of abdicating the throne as soon as you return to China.

Link complained frantically in his heart, and the corner of his mouth raised a sarcasm.

Seeing this, the French Minister of Magic gritted his teeth and said:

"Eight million! We are willing to compensate you for eight million Galleons! This is our entire reserve of Galleons. Please forgive us!"

When he said this, the French Minister of Magic put his posture extremely low, and his hunched waist made him look like he was about to kneel to Link.

But upon hearing this, Link still shook his head and sighed:

"What's the use of me wanting Galleons? So many Galleons pouring into the market at once will lead to rapid inflation in the market of the entire country's magic world, and eventually the price and business ecology will collapse. This is fundamentally harmful to me. Useless."

"Then replace it with materials. As long as it is the materials that can be produced by the French magic world, you can open your mouth as much as possible, and we will do our best to satisfy it!"

The French Minister of Magic continued, but Link shook his head again.

This made the French Minister of Magic almost desperate.

What he didn't know was that Link really didn't like those things.

Supplies and Galleons may bring the Ministry of Magic's overall economic strength to a new level.

After discussing with Dumbledore, Link could almost confirm that this Norton was also one of the bearers of the King's Blood.

What Link wants is the king's blood in his body!

"Ahem——"

The old Harris suddenly coughed, "Resource compensation is actually quite good. If Mr. Link Foley is not satisfied with this, we can take over. Of course, as a replacement, we, the International Federation of Wizards, can give more compensation options.”

As he spoke, the old Harris took out a roll of parchment and controlled it with magic to float in front of Link, "Please take a look first, if you agree to exchange resources, you can choose any two items in it. "

Link didn't mock the old Harris' attempt to cut off his beard, but simply opened the parchment.

Immediately, a dense catalog of items came into his vision.

Just after seeing it for the first time, Link couldn't help looking at old Harris in surprise.

He very much suspected that old Harris had directly handed him the warehouse directory of the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards.

Because this catalog not only contains a large number of extinct magic materials such as Hagrid mermaid meat, but also many alchemy products and artworks with obscure names that Link has never heard of, and even precious knowledge such as potion formulas and alchemy techniques. all on top of it.

Even Link has to admit that there are indeed many good things hidden here.

Link, who discovered this, began to look down at the catalog carefully, and Dumbledore, who had been silent all the time beside him, couldn't help but leaned over.

The two looked at it for half an hour before Dumbledore suddenly pointed to a line of text on the catalogue:

"This one is pretty good and should be taken."

Gu Wei\u003c/span\u003e ""Eos Potion"? What is this thing for?"

Link asked puzzled.

"I prefer to call it "Dawn Potion". Didn't Severus mention it to you? But it's normal. This potion has been lost for nearly a thousand years, and its effect is single, and it's not native to the country." Potion, but it was made and invented by a potion master in ancient Greece, I am afraid that Severus himself did not know that it ever existed."

Dumbledore explained, "As for its effect, it is actually very simple, that is, it greatly increases the strength of mental power, and also increases the magic talent and related spell control. It is also effective for wizards at the same level, and can stabilize the realm of legendary wizards to a certain extent.

call!

I thought this potion was gone forever, but I didn't expect to see it here.

Mr. Harris, is your "Dawn Potion" newly made or an ancient relic? "

Old Harris said with a smile:

"You are joking, Professor Dumbledore, how could we manufacture such an ancient potion? Although we do have its formula, the materials needed for it have long been extinct. So "Dawn Potion", is We discovered it when we were developing an ancient ruin. But don't worry, it's quite well preserved, at least it still has about 90% of its effects.

Of course, the most important thing is that we have two bottles of "Dawn Potion". You and Lord Link Foley happen to share a bottle each. It is worth noting that one bottle of "Dawn Potion" corresponds to one selection opportunity, that is to say, if you want two bottles, the two selection opportunities given to you this time will be exhausted. "

Link turned his head and made eye contact with Dumbledore.

"You can take it. "Dawn Potion" is the best potion in the legendary rank. Its effect may be slightly smaller, but it is more stable and there is no future trouble. The most important thing is that the benefits you originally planned to take should no longer be taken. arrive."

Dumbledore whispered.

Link nodded and said to old Harris:

"Okay, I want two bottles."

As soon as this remark came out, Dumbledore was obviously taken aback.

Potions like "Potion of Dawn" can only be taken once in a lifetime. It is impossible for Link to know this kind of general knowledge at the level of potions.

In other words, the second bottle of "Dawn Potion" was for him.

This is really...

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly, but his heart warmed.

On the other side, the old Harris was also very happy.

Although he didn't know what the so-called "income" that Dumbledore used to compare with "Dawn Potion" just now was, that didn't matter. What really mattered to him was the conclusion of this deal.

He stood up with a smile and said:

"So it's settled like this?"

"Of course not," Link shook his head expressionlessly, "In addition, I want the formula of "Dawn Potion"."

"Recipe? With all due respect, the formula of "Dawn Potion" is indeed with us, but most of the production materials have been extinct, and it is impossible for anyone in this world to reproduce it. But... ok Well, if you really want to study it, I can give it to you as well, as a gift for the transaction."

"Then you might as well give some more, I also want the cluster space transition technology recorded here."

Hearing what Link said, the smile on Old Harris' face finally couldn't last this time.

Cluster space jump, this is a subsidiary technology when they are developing Sky City technology.

Its characteristic is that, like the flame transmission of the phoenix and the special apparition spells of the house elves, it can ignore most of the anti-apparition spells and forcibly perform space transitions, and the overall process is relatively comfortable.

From the perspective of effect and cherishment alone, it is really nothing to the International Federation of Wizards represented by old Harris.

What really upset the old Harris was that Link made an inch of progress again when he had already backed down a step.

He took a deep breath, and said somewhat unkindly:

"Commander Link Foley, isn't it too greedy for you to do this?"

"You shouldn't be qualified to judge me like this, right? You shouldn't be the one who is really greedy?" Link shook his head with a relaxed expression, "I want to gain but don't want to pay. How can there be such a good thing in the world?" What's more, you seem to be more eager for the resources given by the French Ministry of Magic for the things you have given us?"

Old Harris was silent.

What Link said just now can be said to have hit his vital point.

Sky Island, the base of the International Union of Wizards, is a purely technology-exporting city. Instead of producing any resources, it even needs a large amount of imported resources as a supplement to its continuous technological development.

All kinds of basic resources are indeed more important to them than the so-called 'babies' piled up in the warehouse.

Link obviously knows all of this clearly, and is not some so-called noob.

After realizing this, the serious expression of old Harris eased instantly, and he said with a smile:

"You're right, Commissioner Link Foley, so let's settle the matter like this. Next, let's talk to the Minister of the French Ministry of Magic about how much resources your ministry should spend to make up for the losses of everyone here. Of course , My proposal for compensation here is..."

Old Harris licked his lips, then took out something similar to a data report out of nowhere and read:

"20 cubic meters of giant spider venom, 300 cubic meters of fire dragon blood, 2,000 thunderbird tail feathers, 30 tons of airship plums, 10,000 pieces of deformed lizard skins, 20 kilograms of fairy wings, 70 kilograms of long-horned water snake horns, and 100 tons of pure mithril , 30,000 unicorn tail hairs..."

As the old Harris recited, the faces of the French Minister of Magic and the other members of the French Ministry of Magic delegation became paler and paler.

Especially when they heard that Old Harris was going to ask them to pay the difference of 200,000 Galleons directly to the Ministry of Magic, they couldn't hold back anymore.

A few old officials like the president of the International Magical Trade Standards Association even fainted suddenly.

They are all people who know the economic reality of the entire French magic world.

Therefore, they are also very clear that although the current French magic world is rich, if the compensation is really paid according to the list given by the old Harris, the economic level of the entire French magic world may directly go back to the 17th century. Abject poverty stage at founding.

"We can't give so much!"

The Auror Minister of the French Ministry of Magic stood up and said loudly, of course he doesn't know anything about economics, he doesn't even understand how large a sum of goods those dense numbers represent, he just wants to haggle a price.

But he can be regarded as helping to start.

Hearing this, several officials on the side immediately followed up:

"My kind Mr. Harris, we sincerely ask you to reduce the scale of some supplies, which is really beyond our tolerance."

"That's right, our French magic community has indeed developed rapidly in the past few years, but this has been achieved based on our large investment. And now, our investment has not been recovered, and you are asking for such a big one now." This material is trying to kill us!"

Officials are trying very hard, but it's all in vain.

No matter how much they persuaded, the expression of old Harris did not change the slightest.

It's as if they are determined that they will definitely hand over a resource even if they sell the iron.

This made many officials of the French Ministry of Magic present angry.

They understand that things have developed to this point, even if they now agree to hand over Professor Norton's body, Old Harris and Link will not want it.

Because the nature of the matter has completely changed from the initial negotiation to blackmail against the French Ministry of Magic!

But they haven't been completely eaten to death yet!

If it's amazing, let it go bad!

What if they just don't give resources to the International Federation of Wizards and the Ministry of Magic?

Is there a war?

how is this possible?

It is impossible for the International Federation of Wizards to allow the Ministry of Magic to declare war. A direct war between the two Ministry of Magic is likely to completely invalidate the "Secrecy Act" that has been maintained for hundreds of years.

Therefore, it is more likely that the International Federation of Wizards will pay compensation to appease the Ministry of Magic from its own pocket.

Then, through their own channels, they will unite with the rest of the Ministry of Magic in Europe to impose all-round economic sanctions on the French Ministry of Magic and demand the resources they paid to the Chinese Ministry of Magic.

This will undoubtedly cause the French magic circle to suffer economic setbacks.

But in any case, it's better than direct shock, right?

The lesser of two evils, how to choose the answer is very clear!

For a moment, the eyes of almost all French Ministry of Magic officials present became firm again.

They have reached an unprecedented unity!

Let's mess it up together!

However, just when they had decided in their hearts to announce to Old Harris and Link, the French Minister of Magic, who had been silent at the side, suddenly stood up.

He looked more energetic, and even had a relaxed smile on his face, as if he had just made a perfect decision.

Under everyone's gaze, he heard him say in a cheerful tone:

"All of this is quite reasonable, and we can completely accept it. We will pay for all the resources within a week. But considering the current tension in the French magic world, I still need your help in terms of coordinating and handing over the goods. Help. Therefore, I implore the International Federation of Wizards to send Auror and Striker troops to the French magic world to assist us in our work and stabilize the situation!"

"Mr. Minister, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Have you been controlled by someone using the Imperius Curse? Where's the Curse Breaker? Send the Curse Breaker over to help!"

"Damn traitor! Do you know what you're doing?"

...

The officials of the French Ministry of Magic completely exploded. They sat on their seats with somewhat dazed faces, as if they hadn't recovered from the previous great changes, but most of them were blushing. face yelling at the French Minister for Magic.

But no matter how they expressed their anger, the French Minister of Magic, who had just made his statement, was unmoved at all, and just stared at old Harris with piercing eyes.

"Hahaha--"

Old Harris laughed and said, "Mr. Minister, it would be the best if you can be so straightforward! Don't worry, the Aurors and strikers from the International Federation of Wizards will return to France with you, and they will help you eliminate the rebellion and Stabilize your dominant position. Of course, this time cannot be too long, I hope you can understand."

"Of course I can understand, as long as they can last until January next year, it will be enough, and I should retire by then."

"That's good!"

Old Harris and the French Minister of Magic stood up, holding hands tightly.

Both had bright smiles on their faces.

In contrast, the expressions of the other officials of the French Ministry of Magic were hideous like ghosts.

Having said that, why don't they understand?

This year is the last year of the French Minister of Magic's administration. After this year's consummation, he will be able to enter Sky City and become a celestial man by relying on the length of his reign.

So before January next year, he must firmly sit in the position of the Minister of Magic of France.

This is quite a difficult task.

At present, he has almost been recognized as a traitor by the wizards in France, and he will probably be kicked out after returning.

So he was very natural, eliminated all external conflicts in the shortest possible time, and won over the International Federation of Wizards for help.

Lose power and humiliate the country?

In his heart, this is nothing compared to his ideal of becoming a celestial being!

The beloved minister of the French wizards has sold them, as well as the entire French magic world!
