Chapter 54: An Unbreakable Oath
"It's a three-leaf snake grass, but I prefer to call it a three-leaf clover." Tang Bai opened his mouth leisurely.
"Clover of Life and Death? It's a fitting name! It's amazing! Magical to the point where I can't believe it! Don, my dear Don, this will allow us to earn many, many gold gallons, as well as a prominent position in the wizarding world! ”
Mellen Watts' face was full of fanaticism, and he looked at Tang Bai with a look that was almost gritting his teeth, and said word by word: "Think about it!" We can resurrect the Aurors who died at the hands of the Dark Wizards! It is possible to make those who have lost their loved ones re-embracing his loved ones. It will make us more powerful in the wizarding world than some pure-blood families combined! ”
"It's not easy." Tang Bai was a little noncommittal about Mellen Watts' blueprint. He admitted that what Mellen Watts said was the truth, and it was precisely because he understood this that Tang Bai would try to find the place where the three snake grass grew in the first place. But he also knows in his heart that it won't be easy to reach the level that Mellen Watts said.
"It's certainly not easy! But there's a lot of hope, isn't it? Mellen Watts took a breath and regained his position, he looked at Tang Bai with a sincere face, "Dear Don, let's talk about it, tell me about your plan!" You can't just surprise me with this amazing plant, right? Come, tell me about your plans, and I'll do my best to make it happen for you! ”
"I'd like to plant some of the clover here, and have the potions in the potion shop analyze its properties and see if they can research a few potions that have never been seen before." Tang Bai said lightly.
"Hahaha! This is the best news I've heard these days, no, in over a decade! Mellen Watts smiled happily with a happy face. Of course he had reason to be happy,
Although the ownership of the property under his command has changed and is completely owned by the young man in front of him, the young man has also promised that all the other party's business in England will be managed by him without serious losses.
Although his interests have been weakened a lot at the moment, not to mention other businesses, the clover of life and death grass that Tang Bai took out today alone can bring him far more than all the benefits and prestige that Merlen Watts could bring him when he was at the peak of his business!
"But I'm still a little worried." Tang Bai picked up the three crisp green leaves one by one, put them back on the handkerchief, and said softly with his head down.
"What worries? Worried about external pressure or threats? Feel relieved! As long as the wizarding world is as calm as you say, nothing you worry about is a problem. I have a very close relationship with the current Minister of Magic, Millicent Barnold, and many other powerful people. We can use the benefits to pull these people to protect us. Mellen Watts said with some eagerness.
"I'm not worried about the threat or anything from the outside for the time being, it's you who makes me worried!" Tang Bai waved his hand, looked at Mellen Watts with an eager face, and whispered his heart.
"Me?" Mellen Watts's eager application was stagnant in an instant, because of the excitement and some blood surged, and the slightly hot brain gradually cleared up. He had already realized the unfinished meaning of Tang Bai's words in his heart, with a bitter look on his face, he spread his hand, stared at Tang Bai who was close at hand, and his tone was very aggrieved: "I thought we were friends, Tang." ”
"It's because of my friends that I have to be clear and distinct." Tang Bai's tone was a bit solemn and serious: "There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Although benefits are not limited to material things. The stakes are too great, and you are the stewards of all my estates in England, so I have to be careful. You know, the human heart is the most difficult to measure! ”
Mellen Watts was stunned for a moment, and then a very happy smile appeared on his stiff face little by little: "My dear Don, you are very good!" I like you, I love your shrewdness! Although your distrust makes me feel a little uncomfortable, from your standpoint, this is understandable. If it were me, I would need to do something about it. Tell me, what do I need to do to gain your unreserved trust? A magical contract? ”
"Of course!" Tang Bai nodded fiercely, "I think we need to sign an unbreakable oath between us!" ”
"Definitely either?" The smile on Mellen Watts' face instantly stiffened, he rubbed his hands, stared at Tang Bai without blinking, and his tone was a little hesitant and hoarse.
"Only then will I be able to trust you completely and leave everything to you to decide and handle." Tang Bai did not shy away from staring at Mellen Watts, and said with an unchanged expression.
"As you wish!" Mellen Watts, after some internal struggles, was the first to lose, he withdrew his gaze, and asked instead: "To establish an unbreakable oath, you need to find a witness, don't you have any good candidates?" ”
"Nope! I didn't! It's up to you to pick and choose. Tang Bai shook his head.
"Then Notte, I'll contact him right away." Now that the decision has been made, Mellen Watts will no longer drag the mud and water, and as soon as Tang Bai's words fell, he immediately cut to the knot.
"Yes." Tang Bai nodded and approved Mellen Watts' proposal for a witness. Knott used to help him.
"Well, in order to protect our secrets, I suggest that we also make a Loyal Charm. In this way, people who know about the existence of the grass of life and death can avoid revealing their secrets. Mellen Watts used his brains and proposed to Tang Bai. Most of the potion recipes unique to Mellen Watts' potion shops are protected by such a spell, and the secret is the patriarch of each generation of the Watts family.
"That's as it should be." Tang Bai nodded approvingly.
"Well, that's the last question left." Mellen Watts clapped his hands and looked at Tang Bai: "This precious, unheard of magical plant, I think only an outstanding top master potion master is qualified to study and cultivate it." But unfortunately, we don't have such elites at the moment. If peace in the wizarding world is not available anytime soon, then we will have to settle for the next best thing. ”
"Rest assured, the peace you have hoped for will soon come. As for the top master potions, I have a good candidate for you. Of course, this requires you to get close and woo. Tang Bai calculated the time in his heart, and found that the date of Voldemort's defeat and disappearance was approaching soon, and said in an affirmative tone.
"Oh? There's nothing wrong with getting close and wooing, but who are you picking? Mellen Watts glanced at Tang Bai in surprise.
"This man you should know, Severus Snape, one of the youngest Potions Masters at the moment." The corners of Tang Bai's mouth curled, and he gently spit out a name from his mouth.
