Chapter 820: Assumption
By the time everyone else in the family returned, it was already late at night.
"Warm up with a cup of tea. Morgan Lefay stood up and walked over to take the cloak that Owen was wearing with them.
As Owen returned, Xenophilius ran past the Minister of Magic to his daughter, and Luna, who had taken a nap, shook her head a little confusedly, and she raised her fingers, showing no signs of injury at all.
Owen sat down on the sofa and immediately asked, "Luna and Hermione are frightened, do you want to take a leave of absence from Hogwarts, do you want to rest at home for a few days these days?"
"I'm fine, thank you, Mr. Harris. Hermione also didn't want to miss the Hogwarts class, she didn't want to waste time at home with nothing to do, but planned to take some time to step up her own strength in the future - she was a little annoyed now, if she had more experience in actual combat, she would not have been subdued by the other party in the first place if she had more experience in actual combat, and she would not have been subdued by the other party in the first place to transform into a human-headed manticore with excellent resistance to magic spells.
"Tonight's news will report on the Devil's presence in Hogsmeade, although in fact there are no fatal cases of ordinary wizards except the Aurors..."Owen Harris flicked his finger on the couch, "but the panic of the people is still caused, Morgan Lefay, I guess I'll be back late these days." ”
"Rather than these trifles, I think we should first look at how to make sure everyone is safe. Alan raised his eyes, leaned forward, crossed his fingers with his hands, and rested his elbows on his knees, "This time Baier was afraid that Luna had regained her divine power and did not really hurt Hermione, but this situation can only be regarded as the devil has enough reason to make it worry, but we can't let this situation that is not in our control again, and we can't pin our hopes on luck." ”
Thinking of the heroic sacrifices of Puppai and Pluto, Albert clenched his fists: "It is no longer possible for ordinary armed Aurors to withstand an enemy of that level, this is no longer a war between mortals. ”
"The giants might be able to delay for a while, but they're too bulky to be used as guards when they're out, but it's not realistic to expect them to go in indoors. Lunn clasped his chest with one hand and rubbed his chin lightly with the other, "Are you going to call Penelope and the Umbrella Team back? ”
"No, they've gathered all the knowledge available in the African wizarding world, and they've recently focused on the unique skills of those famous witch doctors, and temporarily replacing them with other ordinary people might make the mission fail or be exposed. Alan looked at Lenn, "Hermione, Four Eyes showed you what happened to the Death Knights I brought back?"
"Except for a few who have a talent for languages... Most of them had some dyslexia, but they were able to barely communicate with us and understand some uncomplicated commands that were now abundant in English. "Ever since Hermione met Lynch, the leader of the Death Knights, in the matchmaking affair between Lupin and Tonks, she has put aside her repulsive nature from being a living person, and after getting along and getting to know each other, she has become less repulsive towards these undead creatures who have retained their wisdom in front of her," said Hermione. Geller took the surface armor technology of the battle golem, which had been developed in the past few years, and used it on the death knights, ordinary people can't use such heavy armor and they are just right, and the other thing is that they can always attract some Yin corpses, ghouls, female ghosts and the like to automatically run over to them as followers, and it's a bit troublesome..."
"I think it's time to bring forward the schedule of these Death Knights as escorts, and the situation now doesn't allow us to slow down the daily training that allows them to adapt to this era. Alan nodded when he heard Hermione's report, in fact, it was not difficult to make this group of medieval illiterate people learn to communicate during this time, "These Vikings were all elite berserkers written by King Harald III of Norway in the past, and many of them were also members of the Varangian Guard, after the moment the flame of life was extinguished, they not only retained all the martial arts and experience they had before their death, but also gained a lot of damage reduction, special abilities and immunity after becoming undead. (For more information, see the Death Knight profile in the work.) )
"Son, but if we go out so blatantly with the undead... This is bound to provoke criticism. Owen said worriedly, "In the minds of ordinary wizards, invoking such powerful undead creatures is a symbol of evil, and these death knights are not just ghouls like those who are not aggressive in the Weasley's attic, but only know how to eat some rats, bugs, and carrion..."
"We're forced to do this, there's nothing more important than ensuring our safety, these guys may not be able to defeat an enemy of Bayer's level, but they can definitely buy us enough time for me or Luna to rush to reinforcements. Alan raised his voice slightly, and he reached out and gestured, "But don't worry, even without Byer, I originally planned to teach students to summon improvised undead creatures to protect themselves in my ancient magic class at Hogwarts, but it made the original gradual process a little more radical." ”
"In Hogsmeade, there were media and journalists who were controlled by other pure-blood families, and their rhetoric was very sharp, and it is conceivable that the next thing we might face was the vilification of the pure-blood families in England, who would preach among the general public that we were not keeping the wizarding world safe, and that we were a weak and sloppy regime. Lunn couldn't help but be a little worried, he glanced at his brother and said, "The people who follow Harris need to share the cake in the hands of these traditional British pure-blood families, and the contradictions between them and us are irreconcilable. They're going to take advantage of it..."
"Is there anything wrong with the undead?" Xenophilius, who had been circling around Luna and looked a little crazy, interjected without replying: "Doesn't the female singer Tina Warbeck also have a whole group of female ghost choirs? A few years ago, I listened to two performances in a row, and although the cries of those female ghosts were controlled so that they were no longer fatal, they also made me uncomfortable for a long time..."
"Mainly because Muggles and half-bloods make up the majority of the population. Aunt Josephine was deeply touched by this as a vampire, "Elder Wopple, who was born in pureblood, has been living with vampires and creating, and the ghoul expulsion team in the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control is most likely rejected by pure-blood wizard families when they want to help clean up ghouls like the Weasley's attic, and they often treat it as pets..."
"Tonks, who aren't afraid of werewolves, is a little scared of these things, even if her mother is a Blake..."Daisy mentioned her best friend's situation, "Muggle and half-blood education and culture seem to make them very resistant to the undead, and I remember when I first entered the school, those classmates saw the screams of the ghosts of the house..."
"Since we had anticipated that Beyer's attack and the Pure-Blood family would cause panic, they would definitely take advantage of this... But we can take advantage of this opportunity, and that Bair has been very cunning in leaving us with compensation, didn't he deliberately claim that he attacked this time because of the tribute given to him by these pure-blood families? In this situation, we must not be weak, we must be tough, adopt pragmatism, since even the safest British wizarding community today is facing a crisis, so not only students, we must also improve the self-protection ability of adult wizards, Alan, you can directly contribute the few spells you plan to teach to the students in the name of contributing to the Ministry of Magic, let us directly publish it, so that ordinary wizards can learn and get used to summoning this creature to be a temporary guard... At that time, this will also be the trend of the situation and the will of the people. ”
"We need to strengthen the concept of official permission from the Ministry of Magic, I think we can provide free teaching and testing of the corresponding magic for summoning undead creatures to the public, just like the current apparition class, only wizards who have passed the test and obtained a license issued by the Ministry of Magic can openly use undead creatures to ensure their own safety. Lunn understood his father's suggestion—and expanded his learning even further, so that the Harris family's use of the Death Knight as a guard would not be particularly noticeable when even Muggles and pure-blood wizards throughout the wizarding world were accustomed to using the undead.
"Even the elite Aurors are powerless in the face of the devil, ordinary wizards will definitely lack a sense of security, and at this time, we will vigorously promote the magic of summoning undead creatures, and increase the means of saving their lives, and we will definitely get the support of those Muggle or half-blood wizards who have no family background. I can reveal some of the magic that isn't too important, and I'll teach it in the ancient magic class at Hogwarts anyway. ”
"Neighboring countries have also set up our stations to show our Wizarding Television. Fleur held Albert's hand and said confidently, "The TV station has always been under our control, and its ability to control public opinion has long surpassed that of traditional newspapers. ”
"No, it's not enough, and it's not just the Ministry of Magic... We're not just dealing with mortal affairs now..."Allen also had an idea of how to promote, and he stood up with his hands behind his back, intending to reveal what he had in mind.
