Chapter 35: Persuasion

"I'd say, it's too risky for just a few of us to be here. Mundungus Fletsch's legs kept shaking, "We're facing the Dark Lord, the most dangerous dark wizard ever, I'm afraid it's not enough for just a few of us, so let me contact my friends, there is a lot of power." As he spoke, he cowered and stepped back.

"Shut up, Mondongues. Moody grabbed the back of Mundungus, who was trying to escape, his eye rolling in its sockets, "We didn't expect you coward to fight, but those traps on the periphery of the Dark Lord's stronghold must be dealt with by you goddamn thief." Just remove those magic traps from the periphery, and you'll be able to apparition out of here in no time! ”

"I don't understand. Mundungus shrugged his shoulders, "This kind of thing should be more proficient in the Aurors, we have the Aurors here." He gestured to Kingsley Shacklele and Nymphadora Tonks to the side.

"Don't play fool with me, Mundungus. Moody picked up Mondigus and leaned him against the wall, "Listen, Mondongues, the Aurors' training sessions don't include how to disarm magic traps and stealth infiltration, the Aurors are only good at frontal attacks. Can you answer me now, do it or not?"

"Can I choose not to do it? I'm a very timid person, and if I'm frightened, I'll easily scream, and then I'll get the Dark Lord's attention, which is very bad for everyone. Montungus looked at Moody pitifully.

"Yes. Moody said in a gruff voice.

"That's great. "I'm quitting, Moody, please put me down, yes, I'm a little afraid of heights, and not being able to step on the ground makes me a little nervous." ”

Moody lifted Montungus even higher. "Good, Mundungus. Since you are so unwilling to cooperate, then I have reason to teach you a good lesson as a thief and smuggler. ”

"No, no, you can't do that. "You're a personal vendetta, no, you're not an Auror anymore, you're abusing lynching, you're breaking the law." ”

Moody's eye rolled in its sockets, "Mondongus." I see that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin......"

"Alright, Mondongues. "You are a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and you should do your part to save your fellow people." ”

"But it's up to the opponent. Realizing that he couldn't break free of Moody's arm no matter what, Mondongues gave up. "We're going to infiltrate the Dark Lord's lair, gentlemen, the most dangerous Dark Wizard of all time, and dealing with him is no joke. ”

"We don't need you to deal with the Dark Lord, Mondigus. Kingsley Shacklele said quietly. "As Moody said, you just need to take the traps out of the periphery. ”

"No, I'm not going, who knows what kind of vicious trap the Dark Lord will set up? Listen, Kingsley, I'm not a friend enough, and I do really want to save Sirius. But I can't do such a dangerous thing. ”

"Then, Mondongues, I can only arrest you. Kingsley Shackel said.

"Huh, arrest me?" Mundungus looked surprised.

"Since last year. You've been stealing all sorts of stuff from Sirius's house and selling it, don't think we don't know. "Kingsley Shackle showed Mundungus a few pictures of him when he was stealing.

"When was this filmed. Mundungus was going crazy, "Then why didn't you stop me then?"

Kingsley Shaker shrugged his shoulders as well, "Sirius doesn't really care about those things, and if you steal them, they steal them. And I think that for the less committed members among us, getting a little bit of their grip on them can make them feel more comfortable fulfilling their obligations as a member of the Order of the Phoenix. ”

Mondungus closed his eyes and began to play tricks, "Then you can arrest me, anyway, theft is not a big crime, how many days can you lock me up?"

"Mundungus, you're wrong. Kingsley Shackle pointed to the photograph of a medal that Mundungus had put in his pocket. "It's a pretty valuable antique, and it's worth a lot of money. ”

"Worth a lot, you say?" said Mundungus, suddenly excited, "you say this thing is an antique?"

"Yes, Mr. Mundungus, this medal is indeed a very valuable antique. "Jack Silver is holding an antique medallion. "This is the earliest Merlin Order. ”

"Merlin's Medal, no way, it's worthless. "You're lying to me, it's not like I haven't sold this thing, and the Order of Merlin of the First Class only sells for ten Galleons outside." I sold you this medal, it's only five silver stalks, and I'm not going to do a loss-making business. ”

"You have to figure it out, Mundungus, this is the original Merlin Medal. "It was the Order of Merlin himself in the 11th century. ”

"It can't be!" said Mundungus, "those medals have long been ruined! That old bastard Merlin founded the Order of Merlin to protect Muggles, and awarded medals to those fools who protected Muggles. Later, Muggles persecuted wizards in turn, so those wizards who got medals destroyed them, and it is impossible for a small family like the Black family, which just appeared in the nineteenth century, to have the early Merlin Medal that has been destroyed!"

"Looks like you know a lot, Mundungus. Silver glanced at Mundungus in surprise, "But you still look away, this is indeed the earliest Merlin Medal Yes, I have consulted a lot of information, and I wrote to Nicol Lemay, he also thinks that this is the earliest Merlin Medal, I still have his appraisal here, do you want to see it?"
