The whole house is exceptionally quiet. The spicy sun www.biquge.info hung overhead, barbecuing the billowing yellow sand. Phoenix had planned to go to the backyard to see the amazing plants endemic to Arabia, but as soon as he walked to the door, he changed his mind. The heat wave on the face is overwhelming.

Back in the reception room, Phoenix, in an armchair near the fire, quietly reads a book. Little Watson's hurried footsteps shattered the peace that had echoed through the room.

"How?"

"British urgency, there is a trace of the locket. He handed Phoenix a letter.

"You read it. Phoenix burped and turned the page.

"Mundungus found the man, who lived at the Hog's Head Bar, named Elias Stoney, and had two companions. The Robaz men had followed, and they went to Little Hangton—"

"Got it?" Phoenix raised an eyebrow, it wasn't a good place to go.

Robaz said he hadn't taken action, that the two men were no ordinary people, that one was the eldest son of the Bout family, and that the other was still investigating - and he was afraid that there would be big trouble. Phoenix took the letter, glanced at it and threw it into the fire, and with a movement of his finger, the flame suddenly turned purple.

"To be on the safe side, there's nothing wrong with him doing that. What's next?" he asked.

"I know, Robaz handled it well. Is Bout the most famous family in America?" Phoenix closed the book and scratched his head.

"Yes. ”

"Let's hold on for now, until we find out who he is. It was important to tell them not to send those intern Aurors. He said solemnly.

Not long after Watson left, the flames suddenly turned green. A tall wizard appeared in the middle of the flames, spinning like a spinning top. A few seconds later, he stepped over the grate, a folding fan in his hand, and wore a dark gray shirt with wide collars and large sleeves.

"Yao Hong, it's a pleasure to meet you. He bowed gracefully.

"Hello, Phoenix Peverell. He withdrew his outstretched hand and asked him to sit down.

Yao Hong is very tall and has a very square face, but his eyes are sharp like blades, which is very majestic, which makes people dare not face it. To Phoenix's surprise, he had very long hair in a bun, and even then Yao Hong's hair still partially hung down to his waist.

The people with this fashionable hairstyle tend to be young men, or the male version of Professor McGonagall, he thought to himself with amusement. The two looked at each other, and neither spoke first.

"You're a lot like your father, you're a good wizard - it's a pity that we sometimes meet relatives who can't figure out who they are," Yao Hong smiled slightly, "Although you're young, you're already famous, aren't you?" I think he'll be proud of you." ”

Phoenix doesn't think so in his heart, and their internal friction is notoriously weak. Compared to this, Peverell can be said to be a drop in the bucket.

"It's just a little clever," said both of them, but without any communication barriers, "what do you want to drink?"

"Tea, thank you. With a wave of Phoenix's hand, two cups of steaming black tea and a delicate celadon teapot appeared on the table.

"I'm straight to the point, there is no doubt that Muggles are no longer the fools they used to be to wield sticks around. He took a polite sip, "We shouldn't be indifferent, especially people like us." ”

"That's right, so what do you want to do? Get to know them first?"

"This is undoubtedly the right thing to do, knowing that you are invincible. Phoenix didn't quite understand, but he could understand what he meant, "I set up a department to investigate Muggle technology, but we're in some trouble. ”

Peverell was already ahead of them, and in the middle of the last century, the British Minister for Magic, Ottalien Gamble, created a commission to investigate the intelligence of Muggles, who during this period of the British Empire seemed to be much greater than wizards thought.

When Peverell noticed it, he immediately formed an R department to follow up. In the years that followed, the department became more and more staffed, overheaded, and mysterious. Secrecy is far above the Mysteries Department, but according to his father's will, Phoenix will not know the whole story of the department until he is an adult.

"How can I help you?" Phoenix had already vaguely guessed what kind of trouble they were in.

"Muggle weapons seem to be far more lethal than we expected. I can't do those experiments in my own country - a war-torn area would be appropriate, but it's easy to get the attention of Muggles, and as far as I know, this type of weapon is strictly forbidden in Muggles. ”

"Do you need Peverell's strength in Muggles?" Phoenix picked up his teacup and drank the black tea in one gulp, "Aren't the Arabs objecting?"

"They don't have to know. Yao Hong immediately said, "Now that most of the wizard families in the world are immersed in yesterday's powerful illusion, I think only we are aware of the crisis. ”

Phoenix thought with his head down.

"The days when we could threaten them with lightning and thunder, floods and fire are long gone. Grindelwald was right, it's time for us to think about repealing the secrecy law. ”

"They are no longer children, and if we continue to do nothing, maybe one day, the wizards will be in trouble. "I think you know this better than I do, don't you?" ”

"Now it's the United States and Russia that benefit us a lot," Phoenix shrugged, "I'll explain to those Muggles, what weapons are you going to experiment?"

"I wanted to try it all - but my men warned me that conducting a nuclear test was too dangerous and would alarm Muggles. Can you believe it?" Yao Hong stared at him tightly, trying to see something on Phoenix's face.

"That's what they explained to me, and that's the poison test. Be careful, it's very contagious and very difficult to control. We're a little different from Muggles, and we're in big trouble if we're not careful. ”

What Phoenix didn't say is very clear, I believe Yao Hong can understand.

Yao Hong put down the teacup and stood up.

"Don't worry, there are no foolish here. This time, Yao Hong took the initiative to reach out, "I sincerely hope that we can help each other in the future." As long as we are united, we will be invincible. ”

"The day we parted, it would be the beginning of our loss of glory. Phoenix continued with his words, which were part of Peverell's family motto, and which was later fulfilled.

This is also the reason why they have always restrained themselves in internal strife. They were too worried that history would repeat itself, and he and Klaus never had a large-scale head-on confrontation.

"If we had understood earlier, maybe—" Yao Hong said with emotion, taking out the Floo Powder from his sleeve, and before he finished speaking, he stepped into the bright green flame and disappeared. (To be continued.) )
