Some people in the room were already dozing off, and some were exchanging views in whispers. Karl paced back and forth anxiously, and Henry stood in front of the window, with no one knowing what he was thinking. He stared at the bright moon until he heard footsteps behind him. When I saw myself in the mirror, my hair was slightly curled, and I wanted to smooth it with my hands but couldn't.

"I'm sorry, something," Phoenix said as he walked briskly to his seat as he entered, and everyone passing by could see that he had a bad face.

Henry and Karl were closest to him, and they could be seen at once.

"Did you hear any bad news?" said Henry, who was glared at as Karl motioned for him to get down to business.

"It's hard to say whether it's good or bad yet, as you know, it's not yet final. Phoenix took a deep breath, as if the news had shaken him up. "As you all know about the recent situation in the international market, the price of the African tree snakeskin, a specialty material, has skyrocketed to incredible prices. The price of other items has also increased-"

He didn't move his head, his eyes turned to Carl, "The eggshells of the Chinese Fireball Dragon are very versatile, and they can be used in many places - I remember how many we brought in?"

Karl immediately replied, "Five heads, but all for ornamental use—"

"Not now, immediately start to have them cultivated, if not enough, then bring them in—" Phoenix's words paused suddenly, "if not, go to Wanbang City to buy them, in short, we must have enough dragon egg materials." Buy as much as you can while you still can, and don't care about the money. ”

"Do you know," Henry hesitated, after all, not many people knew about this matter, and there were many people present who did not know. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said this important news, "Africa is stockpiling war resources, and the movement is unknown. There have been movements in both Siberia and the Arab region, and their intentions are unclear. ”

The crowd exploded, and the whole conference room became noisy.

"Are they going to fight—"

"I see that in the several battles of Istanbul back then, they didn't suffer enough-"

"You said it, that was back then—" Emotionally, few people finished their thoughts before they were interrupted by others.

"Now we are not afraid, we were even more disadvantaged back then-you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is really for our ancestors-"

"Klaus should be contacted, now is not the time for infighting," a man rushed to Phoenix and whispered, "Not now, think about the Artifact Civil War, otherwise how would we let outsiders participate in the management of Gringotts--we must put the family first-" At this he raised his head, Phoenix knew. Oberon Gustaf, Minister of Magic of Bulgaria, they had just met once at the Quidditch World Cup last year, and they had a lot of contact with them when they were young.

His middle name not only bears Peverell and Ignotus, but he can only be regarded as a sideline. For such a long time, there are often intermarriages within the family, and the middle name has long been unable to prove which of the three brothers is a descendant.

Phoenix shook his head, and Oberons sighed. He guessed that Phoenix would not agree, after all, he was young, and sighed in his heart and retreated, turning to retreat into the crowd.

"That's enough," Phoenix spoke, and immediately fell silent, some of them with their mouths open but silent, as if they had been cast a silent spell. "Since you have come to this meeting, it means that you are willing to obey my orders. ”

"That doesn't mean you can let us die. A voice came out of the crowd, and Carl and Henry's faces changed.

"Who said that, stand up for me-" Karl pulled out his wand, and instead of stopping him, Henry clenched his cuffs.

Phoenix stood up and waved to stop Carl. Glancing to the side of everyone, he said, "According to tradition, the members attending the family meeting must have one of the three holy weapons, and I have the Resurrection Stone," he raised his left hand, and a black stone with the Peverell coat of arms on the gold ring was printed. The coat of arms was like some kind of misshapen eye, like staring at everyone, "If you have an Elder Wand or an invisibility cloak, then I'll talk to you." ”

Karl smiled wryly and put away his wand. It can't be said that he didn't know that Phoenix had a resurrection stone at all, and the resurrection stone had always been considered useful only in large-scale wars, and after discovering the clue of the resurrection stone, Balder did not immediately retrieve it, but protected it. Very few people know about this, and it seems that he is thinking far ahead.

Seeing that Phoenix had a resurrection stone, several people smiled happily and excitedly said something to the people next to them. The Resurrection Stone represents an inexhaustible army, and they all know that.

"The strange movement in Africa does not mean that there will be an attack immediately. It's not ancient times, it's okay to force the conscription of wizards, they have to have a reason to make the majority of the population willing. Moreover, they are not unified and discriminate against each other internally, and some countries look at people according to their blood, some according to their surname, and even according to their gender. It is not easy to act in unison this time. This is still a profitable situation, and if it is thrown into a war, it is estimated that not too many people will agree. ”

Phoenix sat down and said, "We just need to be ready, it's not ours to go to war." We still have time to deal with some issues. ”

"Then we should hurry, preferably—" Henry nodded in agreement, thinking for a moment, "It's best to beat Klaus in five years." It's hard for them to come to a consensus, and I think we have at least that much time to solve our problems. ”

Carl also nodded, and quite a few people in the conference room nodded in agreement after listening to the words of several people. Or maybe the Resurrection Stone gives them confidence, and in the Three Hallows, the Elder Wand increases the power of magic and accelerates spellcasting.

For example, it takes a certain amount of time to form a biological army of flames after casting. The Elder Wand can be done in an instant, and with little chance to recite a counter-incantation, it will be consumed by flames. It's not that there is nothing special about specific magic.

The holder of the invisibility cloak is generally responsible for listening to information, assassination, and even less well-known. Only the army of Yin Corpses of the Resurrection Stone is memorable to those who have read them, and the Yin Corpses made by the Resurrection Stone do not have the shortcomings of regular Yin Corpses and can act during the day. One of the paintings, depicting the Resurrection Stone, hangs on the wall of this conference room.

The picture of the Yin corpse army with no end in sight above the hoarse soldiers under the city walls is terrifying.

He also had ulterior motives for setting the meeting here.

"Yes," Phoenix did not veto this time, and seeing that the opinions were unified again, "then the question of the Chinese dragon egg will be immediately started." ”

Carl is closest to China, and he is in charge of this.

"Poisonhorns have farms all over the world, but most often in Africa. After their embargo, it was difficult to maintain market demand elsewhere, but it was still collapsing. ”

"I've had people do it, I've talked to the Muggle president about asking him to give up a piece of land in the south of France to add new farms. ”

Phoenix nodded in satisfaction.

"The leopard is a bit troublesome and has always been a high-priced item in the international market. ”
