Chapter 1102: Ideal and Reality

For Martin, it was obviously not easy to gather "believers" and hold underground gatherings. Not to mention, in order to intimidate the congregation more deeply, he also deliberately chose the location of the meeting in London.

Yes, even if it is already near the suburbs of London, it is still the confines of the City of London. Similar to the Muggle world, the City of London is also a concentration of power in the British wizarding world.

But to be honest, Martin's approach did pay off - at least many of his followers were intimidated by him in many ways, and none of them dared to resist.

But in fact, the choice of this underground church in the suburbs of London also made it difficult for Martin to hold frequent meetings.

After all, he also had to avoid people as much as possible to avoid being hit by the Aurors, the Dark Wizards, and even Namaka McLean.

However, because this secret meeting was not held at Martin's heart, every opportunity to summon these people here would be particularly precious.

When Pansy's apparition arrives at the cemetery, she sees Martin waiting there.

"Sir...... Good evening. ”

As she had to come up to say hello, Pansy couldn't help but feel a little regretful - it was all because of Malfoy's repeated urgings, and it was obvious that she had come a little early, so that she and Martin were still the only ones on the side of the cemetery.

In this way, she couldn't help but muttered in her heart:

"I knew that I should have at least chosen to appear on the road outside the cemetery, so that I could at least come in after the invisibility cloak was back in effect."

It can't be helped, even though she had already put on the Auror Invisibility Cloak before she came, but when she cast the Phantom Shifting Charm to move, the invisibility effect would temporarily disappear.

Therefore, when the Aurors usually use them, they usually do not directly reach the destination of the mission, but will choose a nearby place to appear.

It's a pity that Pansy, who has never used this thing before, is only slightly familiar with the methods used, and she doesn't know what to pay attention to when talking about these experiences.

"Oh, it's Miss Parkinson...... Yes, good evening! ”

As soon as Martin saw Pansy coming, he immediately broke away from standing in front of the tombstone in a slightly distracted state, and there was a smile on his face, intentional or unintentional.

"I'm glad to see you here early, and I think it's not only a testament to the spirit of the contract, but also a lot of positivity."

Judging from Martin's moderation at the moment, it is not difficult to see that Maca's speculation about him is almost inconsistent.

After thinking about it for so many days, he also understood the importance of Pansy, so his attitude towards Pansy suddenly improved.

At another tomb not far from him, Pansy remembered some of the instructions of Malfoy and Maca, as Martin spoke kindly.

That's right, even if she is both afraid and hated of the man in front of her, her task is to try to break into the other party's interior. And only in this way can she complete the task given to her by Maca as soon as possible.

As for the "plan" Malfoy had mentioned, Pansy still didn't know anything about it, so she had to put it aside for now.

But where did Malfoy go? What did McLean say to him?

Speaking of which, as Malfoy had said before, he had no intention of infiltrating the organization with Pansy. When the two of them cast the Transfiguration Charm at the same time, Pansy did come to the cemetery, but Malfoy didn't know where he had gone.

These thoughts flashed through Pansy's mind, but she didn't dwell on them any further, but continued along with what Martin had just said:

"Hmm...... I've thought about it since I went back last time, and I really want to have more power than I have now. And power like this is obviously not going to come easily—I have to give something. ”

“…… So, Mr. Martin, I'm ready to be a strong Mr. Helpo. Contribute my insignificant strength. ”

For Pansy, who was born in the Parkinson's family, such a twist is not quite in line with her character, but it is not a clueless thing.

At least in the past family social occasions, such words of loyalty can even be said to be everywhere.

"Oh, really?" When Martin heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It would be great if you could think like that...... Miss Parkinson, I think you understand that I don't always want to coerce you with those 'last resorts'. In fact, doing things for teachers is a very honorable thing in itself. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly spread his hands again, smiled and said:

"Look! The teacher is a true ancient wizard, and his age alone is beyond anyone's reach - even Nicol Lemay, the only alchemist in modern history to make a philosopher's stone, has only lived a fraction of the teacher's life. ”

"And as far as I know, it seems that the teacher can continue to live and will never usher in the day of death!"

As for this, Martin himself couldn't help but get a little excited, but he waved his hand and said:

"Think about it! This is true 'eternal life'! It's something that Voldemort has been chasing all his life and has never been able to get...... But the teacher had already gotten the ...... a long, long time ago."

When it comes to the allure of ordinary people, immortality is obviously more powerful than any power or personal strength.

It was clear that Martin didn't just come up with this argument to attract Pansy, because even he himself came to live for eternity.

The more this guy talked, the more excited she became, and Pansy couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

Yes, the power of immortality is indeed very attractive, and she is naturally not exempt from vulgarity. But if you think about it, will Helbo tell others his biggest secret?

It is too unlikely that he will get the method of immortality from the "despicable" Helmo.

What's more, it is still unknown who will have the last laugh between Helmpo and McLean. Judging by what the two have done so far, Pansy would rather believe the latter.

It's just that she thinks so in her heart, but she can't say it on her lips.

The next moment, I saw Pansy also forcing herself to squeeze out a little expectant expression, and then nodded and said:

"Yes! Mr. Helmau is an ancient sorcerer who has survived from the ancient Greek period to the present day, and his power is certainly unimaginable...... Oh yes, I could almost already have foreseen the great Mr. Helbo standing at the pinnacle of this era! ”

Just when the two said "very happy to talk to each other", more and more figures appeared in this cemetery. Pansy, who noticed this, quickly turned her hood over her head and quietly covered her face.

Martin apparently didn't care about this, and was still trying to stir up Pansy's fanaticism with his own words.

After another moment, the number of people in the cemetery, which was shrouded in night, grew, and the wizards who had come to the gathering last time seemed to be quite a few this time.

And these wizards who have become the "cultists" under Helmao's name naturally can't all come willingly. Rather, there are many people who want to leave this organization as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, the hidden dangers of the ancient magic ritual may not be so easy to remove.

Sensing that everyone was probably all there, Martin paused his efforts to persuade Pansy and turned to face the congregants who were standing in the clearing.

After a brief count of the number of people, he finally spoke again:

"Everyone is welcome to come to our second meeting, but before we go in, I have to say that next time you can choose to appear directly in the church, and there is no need to concentrate here first."

After reminding him like this, he didn't open the passage under the tombstone again, but directly cast a phantom shift, and disappeared in place.

For the rest of the day, Martin and the others took their seats in the underground chapel and began a well-prepared speech. He talked about the current state of the global wizarding world, the past of everyone including himself, and the future that Helbo could bring to everyone.

His thoughts are not understood by no one - in fact, since people usually value profits, if there is a rich reward that can be matched by risk, most of you must be tempted.

However, although Martin was doing things for Helbo, Helpo did not give him too many resources. And in the case of insufficient interests, if you want to win the support of others by drawing bread to satisfy your hunger, this is somewhat difficult for a strong man.

However, under the strong constraint of a certain threat, no one has dared to make trouble in front of him until now.

So until the end, the whole rally was actually quite successful...... At least on the surface!

As for Pansy, she sits down like everyone else, of course.

Because of Maca's previous advice to ask her to "make some friends", she tried to communicate a few words with the people around her, trying to find a few headgear relationships or something.

However, most of the people sitting here at the moment are very guarded, and deep down they are even more preoccupied, where will they talk too much to her.

After about half an hour, Pansy couldn't help but feel a little distressed - the task given to her by Maca seemed easy, but it was actually difficult to carry out.

But just as she was listening to Martin's speech on the stage, and secretly wondering what to do, a series of slight crackling sounds suddenly sounded from all around the underground church.

"It's the voice of the apparition!"

At that moment, this thought passed through everyone's hearts.
