This summer was surprisingly hot, and many friends wrote to say that they wanted to go to the Mediterranean to escape the heat. Sadly, Phoenix didn't have much time to be rich.

He was standing on a ruined wall, and countless soldiers below were fighting fiercely, and it could be seen that the city's walls had been breached, and the two sides began to fight fiercely in the streets.

The sudden death of the patriarch of the Yao clan led to the repatriation of several of his sons to the country for the sake of the patriarchal position. We seized the opportunity to drive back to Istanbul the enemies who had already occupied Central and Eastern Europe. This war was the last large-scale wizarding war in the wizarding world. In total, there are wizards from three continents, and the number of them is as high as a million people. Twenty-six Muggle kings were controlled by the Imperius Curse and sent troops to fight for Istanbul. A wizard in a silk robe spoke to Phoenix, speaking fluent Mandarin that Phoenix was confused.

"-- We can't take Istanbul back," Phoenix said in Mandarin, searching for words, "what a draft." ”

"It's bad. In this way, according to the provisions of the International Secrets Law, Istanbul's culture and traditions are completely different from those of Europe, and it can only be regarded as a member of Asia. ”

The wizard drew his wand, and the immersive transposition vanished, and they returned to their study. On the table, there is a pair of metal flowers, which look so beautiful that it feels like it can be swayed by the wind.

"That's all for today's lesson, Your Excellency, and we'll see you next week. These magazines and books will help you understand the culture and customs of Muggle society. ”

"Okay, I'll take a look at it later. Phoenix said wearily. The wizard left on his front foot, and Watson Jr. came in on his back foot and brought Phoenix a cup of lemon tea with ice cubes.

"How do you feel, Your Excellency? Compared to his father, the young man is more lively, and the generation gap between the two is much smaller, so he can talk better.

"It's not good, but I've read everything he says in books, otherwise the devil knows what he's talking about. Phoenix drank more than half of the cup in one gulp, and if Watson was present, he would say that it was not etiquette for him to drink tea like this.

"But then again, if you can't beat people, you can only bow your head and be a man. ”

Little Watson grimaced and said, "Sester is here, are you going to meet him now, or are you going to meet him at dinner?"

"Now, I'd better read the magazines at dinner, because his Mandarin is getting more and more complicated. Phoenix rubbed his head, "Scheduled for the evening's meeting?"

"Yes. Then I'll call him. ”

The little wizard came to a small reception room. A stranger has been waiting for some time to be reading a bestseller. He has a ruddy face, and under his thick eyebrows, a pair of bright eyes are particularly attractive.

"Come, Your Excellency will see you now. Little Watson was expressionless. Sester put down his book and straightened his clothes. Follow him to the study.

"First meeting, Your Excellency. Sester is here for you. The self-proclaimed Seist began to introduce himself, "I think Watson, mentioned me. More than a decade ago, I was sent to England to join the Department of Mysteries at the Ministry of Magic, and now as Deputy Director. ”

"And what about your mission?" said Phoenix, shaking his hand, and sat back in his seat, taking a sip of the tea on the table, "My father must have paid a lot of money to get you in this position." ”

"Indeed, I was tasked with sneaking a Wright Memory Ball into the Department of Mysteries. The old master had instructed that if something happened to him, he would tell you at the right time. Seist sorted out his words, "There are some important memories in this orb, including the way to get into the family vault—"

"Is that the old vault?" Seth nodded, Phoenix raised an eyebrow, "Isn't that long gone?"

"I don't know, that's a question, I think you'll get an answer when you get the Wright Memory Ball. ”

"Do you want me to pick it up myself?" said Phoenix, who heard his voice.

"I'm afraid that's all there is to it. He said, "After all, you can't let Klaus take it, and I suggest you wait a few years before you get it." Klaus also has someone in the Ministry of Magic, and if you go in person now, I'm afraid you won't be blocked by him in the Ministry of Magic. ”

Phoenix touched his chin and said slowly, "So how can I get that Wright memory ball?"

"You have to go in person. It's the same as the protective magic of the Prophecy Sphere, it's almost impossible to remove the protective magic, and you have to come to the director himself, but I haven't seen him in more than ten years, and I've only communicated with him. Normally, the Department of Mysteries is managed by me and another deputy director. ”

"Well, that's not easy. Normally, the Ministry of Magic is heavily guarded, and we can't get all the guards out of the way. "Phoenix thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that there was no other way but to storm it. Although they have insiders in the Ministry of Magic, they follow his instructions to be middle- and lower-level personnel, and such people are sometimes much more useful than high-level insiders.

"That's another reason why I'd advise you to wait a few years, we don't have too much control in the UK yet. Seist said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Also, you know. Your grandfather - you didn't have the wand that represented the succession of the patriarchs, and even if we had defeated them, I think there would have been many who would have been less respectful to you, just as your grandfather had forced your father to succeed you. ”

"I know. Okay, so let's do it for now. Phoenix stood up, and Seist hastened to his feet. "You're doing a great job and you're still loyal to your family. Your silent dedication will be rewarded by me. ”

Phoenix didn't take the Elder Wand thing to heart, it wasn't a priority. The two of them talked about some of the current movements of the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge trumpeted that Dumbledore was a fool and would be reported in a few days, and he removed Dumbledore from his position as chief wizard of the Wizengamot. The current situation in the ministry is unknown. Many people were either Dumbledore's students or admirers of him, and some people secretly conspired to depose Fudge.

Watson Jr. sent Sester away, and Phoenix sat down at the table with a smile and a shake of his head. In his opinion, Fudge was really beyond his strength, he didn't have excellent magical skills, he didn't have the great reputation of Dumbledore, and he really didn't know who gave him the courage.

He sipped lobster soup and looked at the Muggle magazines. At first glance, the soup in Phoenix's mouth squirted out, a half-fruit photo of a sexy beauty.

Phoenix watched in amazement, what the professor thought, how could such a thing be left behind. Continuing to flip back, Luckily also includes introductions to fashion, food, sports, consumption, etc. It's not just a carnal magazine.

"Watson came just in time to check out the Muggle culture magazine that the old guy had me studying. Seeing little Watson come back, he said with a strange expression.

"Why—uh, what is this?" said little Watson, pointing to the object on a girl's lap.

"I don't know—I'll see if there's anything going on. ”
