"Dinner, ready!" Ning An shouted, and the wizards around responded together, and Shafiq's old mansion hadn't been so lively for a long time.

Feeling the lightness of his soul, as if a shackle had been faintly removed, Ning An understood that he had completed his agreement with Scientak, and the effect of the unbreakable spell had been lifted.

"Come, I think you might want to rest for a while? Dinner will be ready soon. ”

"Oh no, dear—"

The witch named Mojana smiled charmingly, brushed off her long black wavy hair, moved a strand of hair to the front of her shoulder, and said to Ning An with a smile:

"If you've been trapped half-dead for so many years, you won't want to rest after being reborn."

As she spoke, she stood up from her chair and looked with interest at the slightly dimly lit living room of Shafiq's old house.

"Nice house, but I don't know much about this style of décor - and what is it?"

She stretched out her hand and pointed to a television set that had been moved to the edge of the living room, her face full of curiosity, and Ning An instructed Jung to prepare the dinner, smiling awkwardly

For this witch who lived in Merlin's time, it was not unusual for her not to see television.

"This thing is called TV, ma'am, let me introduce it to you slowly, this era, maybe you don't know much about it."

Jung walked to the back kitchen, and a heavy set of knives began to chop meat and vegetables under his supervision, there was not much wizard to help here, Sarah, the house-elf, could take care of everything, and while she stirred the cauldron hanging over the fire, she took advantage of the gap to take it out of the pantry, plates, goblets and food.

After Ning An returned to Shafiq's old mansion, she immediately showed Sarah the soul of her little master, Calydora in the ice coffin, which made the house elf excited, and she began to believe what Ning An said, believing that he could resurrect her little master.

"What are your plans?"

The dim chandelier hung on the top of the long table in the living room, sprinkling a soft white light, Ning An briefly introduced the current wizarding world, and asked the two directly.

"Ah, I don't have any plans for the time being, but you resurrected us, we must repay the kindness," Mo Jiana threw a wink, looking at Ning An with a smile, Helbo didn't say much, he put on a black robe that had just been handed to him, curled up his short body into it, and looked silently at the empty desktop in front of him.

"As for how to repay—" The witch reached out and stroked gently on the smooth surface of the table

"It's up to you to ask for something."

Ning An's fingers also rested on the table, tapping rhythmically one after another, the other wizards in the living room didn't know when they had quietly left, Fabian was guarding the door of the corridor leading to the kitchen, as if to isolate the sound, Ning An couldn't even hear the sound of pots and pans colliding from the kitchen.

He thought for a while, and said to Mo Jiana thoughtfully: "In this case, there is really one thing that needs the help of the two of you......"

The dishes were quickly served one by one, and Barbara personally put the silver goblets on the table, a total of fifteen, counting Ning An, Helbo, and Mo Jiana, in two rows, which just filled the entire long table.

After the evacuation of Little Hangleton's cemetery, some of them followed Ning'an to Shafiq's old house, and the rest returned to Germany, where there were still many things to be dealt with.

The two brothers, Linus and Niels, brought a large pot of stew, their father the German Ministry of Magic/zhang, Leohard was not here, and the affairs of the Ministry of Magic were almost inseparable from him.

Pani sat down at the table early, waiting for his meal.

"Don't you need help?" Ning An couldn't help but ask him.

"The kitchen was already full, and Barbara and Corcelia were about to fight over the dishes, but it was Mr. Jung who managed to calm them down."

Kocelia is the leader of the banshees living in the Black Forest of Germany, Ning An was a little uneasy when he heard this, he didn't want to have something like raw liver at tonight's dinner, although the banshees like to eat it, but it is obviously not in line with the taste of wizards.

"Let's go, let's go—"

A loud voice sounded, sounding neutral, Forner? Ellerby stepped into the living room with a cauldron of stew, the smell of the steaming stew wafting through the air, and even Helpo, who had been expressionless throughout, changed color.

"Hurry up here—" Ning An hurriedly turned sideways and asked him to put the dish on the table.

"How can they let you serve the food, really, where are those young men?" Ning An sighed reproachfully.

"It's okay, it's okay, I asked for it, haha, it's so fun in the kitchen, haha, this trip is amazing, I bet Randolph guy, he'll regret it."

Forner? Ellerby is a director of Ellerby and Buckmore Broomsticks, a cheerful old man, and another director, Randolph? Badmore didn't come, he was not good at words, he was introverted, and he should have stayed in the company near the Black Forest.

The fire ballista arrows made by Ellerby and Badmore Broomstick Company are selling well in the market, which also allows the Ministry of Magic to have more exchanges and cooperation with them, and the two seem to have a good impression of Ning An, in the current situation where several major families in the German magic world are dominant, they wisely chose to cooperate with Ning An, which can be regarded as a disguised integration into the entire family.

"Dinner is coming soon, please wait a little longer—hey, Pani." A tall boy held a large bottle of cherry wine and sherry in his hand, put a bottle in one hand, brought it to the table, and politely explained to Ning An, and then high-fived Pani.

The two have only known each other for a short time, and they are already quite speculative, and among these people, Pani probably admires the most except Ning An, that is, Jung, and the person with the best relationship with him should belong to the one in front of him called "Jason?" Ludwig".

Unlike Fabian, the father of his half-blood giant, Jason is tall, but he is still a normal human, and he is very modest in his words and deeds, which is a strong contrast to his appearance.

"Linus, Nils, come in and help, there's a whole bunch of food to serve." Leohard's two sons immediately obediently entered the kitchen, and Jason seemed to have a good prestige in their generation.

"Don't you go—" Forner? Ellerby was forcibly retained by Ning An, sitting in the front row of Pani, Ning An's right-hand side.

Helpo and Mogana did not seem to like to talk to other people, and when they saw that the table was getting more and more crowded, they stopped talking and looked at the whole house decoration.

"There's a very powerful hidden spell cast here, and I'm afraid ordinary people won't be able to find it."

Helbo came out of a sentence inexplicably, which made everyone scratch their heads, and it sounded like he was praising it, Ning An guessed that Bacheng was talking about the Loyalty Mantra.

"Ready—"

Ning An once suspected that the kitchen of this house had been cast a traceless stretching spell, and he didn't know how it could accommodate so many people.

Jason, Linus, and Nils came to the table with some soups, bread, and roast respectively, and automatically sat in the back row. Schoon, who was the youngest here, two years younger than Pani, was Barbara Schoen's son, but did not go to a school of witchcraft and wizardry, but studied under Barbara's personal guidance.

Barbara and Cocelia were holding a plate alone, which contained their own good dishes, Barbara's was quite good, although Ning An didn't know what the black and slimy plate was, but what made him sigh helplessly was that Cocelia still took a plate of bloody raw liver.

"I hope no one minds the smell of that thing......" Ning An muttered.

Fabian and Jung walked in last, along with the former neutral, Jörgen of House Atzt? Atst, there is no such thing as a neutral faction now, and Jörgen is also a man of the times, and the integration into a new group still benefits him and his family a lot.

The three of them sat down next to Forner on the long table on Ning An's right hand side in turn, although Ning An repeatedly asked Sarah to come and eat with them, but the elf refused to live or die, Ning An was helpless, and it was difficult to force her.

"Come and eat, oh, this stew looks so good—you two should try it." Ning An served a large bowl of stew, but Mo Jiana and Helbo on the left hand side had their eyes swirling on the raw liver in front of Cocelia.

"Would you like some?"

Seeing that someone seemed to be interested in her own food, Corcelia couldn't wait to push the plate over, and didn't forget to look at Barbara proudly.

"Well, Mom, your cooking is delicious—"

Mika? Schoen pulled a black mess onto his plate, and threw pleading glances at Linus and Nils next to him, but fear still made the two brothers dare not stretch out the knife and fork in their hands, but Jason? Ludwig put some on his plate without changing his face, and ate a few bites without fear.

"Is Mr. Crouch alright?" Ning An and Jung were discussing other things.

"He's much more stable, but most of the time he's still in a daze, and Margarita only says he'll be fine in a little while." Jung put a piece of bacon in his mouth and took a sip of the cherry wine in his glass.

"Huh, Barty? Crouch, I saw him at the World Cup last year, this guy did a good job at the British Ministry of Magic, I didn't expect it to be like this. ”

Fabian's head was almost level with the chandelier on his head, and he had to bend half-bend over when he ate, Ning An listened to the "creaking" sound of the chair, and was really worried that the chair leg would break off at some point.

"When this spreads, the wizarding world will be disrupted...... "Jörgen? Atzter said thoughtfully, but Ning An put down his fork and shook his finger

"I bet on Connelly? Mr. Fudge, he wouldn't believe that Voldemort had returned. ”

The atmosphere at the table was suffocating, Helbo squinted his eyes, and Mojana put half of the raw liver tip in her mouth with a fork, looking at this kind of person suspiciously, as if she did not understand why all of a sudden these wizards stopped talking.

"No, if Fudge doesn't believe it, then wouldn't what we're doing be meaningless?" Jung frowned and lowered the glass in his hand.

"Ha," Ning An chuckled, "Don't worry, Dumbledore will trust Harry?" What Potter said, as long as Dumbledore believes it, there is no problem, and I think there are probably more Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic than Fudge can control. ”

"Hiss-hiss-sshh

There was a strange scream at the door, and several people stopped discussing, and Cocelia hurriedly got up, bothering to wipe the blood from the corners of her mouth

"It's fangs—I'm tethered it to the door."

Fangs are a Evil Elf, a native of the Black Forest that eats human children and is often raised by banshees as pets or as a helper in catching young children.

"Guess who came?"

Ning An picked up the wine glass and took a sip, the sweet and sour cherry wine flowed down his throat into his stomach, it was cold and cold, and before he could put the wine glass down, there was the sound of Kocelia's footsteps, and she had already returned to the living room from the corridor

"It's a wizard, he's quite tall—" she said, holding out a slender finger and slashing into the air, a flash of fireworks and a blurry image that seemed to emerge from the bottom of the water.

The tall, thin wizard was standing outside the door, he looked very embarrassed, his black fur hat was crooked, and the white fur cloak he wore was covered with dust, and he was bent over, trying to pull his cloak out of the mouth of the evil fangs.

On the emaciated chin, the curly goatee sways back and forth, which makes people feel inexplicably funny and funny.

"Karkaroff?" Several people exclaimed, and with another movement of Cocelia's finger, the image vanished.

"Looks like we've got guests coming." Ning An put down the knife and fork, and the corners of his mouth showed a nonchalant smile.

"Go, Jason, let our guests come in and don't stand outside."

"I'll go too, Fangs doesn't have my orders, I'm afraid I'm going to tear his cloak." Corcelia followed Jason closely, and the two of them hurriedly disappeared at the end of the living room.

Helmo and Mojana watched all this with interest, and didn't ask much, they didn't ask, and Ning An didn't explain, he always felt that these two people had something to hide from him, and Sciendak spent so much effort to resurrect the two of them, and it would never be to add two helpers to himself.

"Kick, kick, kick," Ning An listened to the sound of footsteps, and three dark shadows appeared on the side of the living room, Jason and Kocelia were the first to show their faces, and Karkaroff was one step behind, and after a moment stood in the light with a grim face.

The white chandelier shone on his haggard face, and the eyes of the people at the table struck him in unison, and although he seemed to be still trying to calm down, the trembling and wavering in his eyes could not hide from anyone.

"Ah, Headmaster Karkaroff - we meet again."

Ning An stood up from behind the chair, the white light of the chandelier illuminated half of his face, and the entire living room was quiet in a blink of an eye from the noise just now.

Karkaroff looked up at him, and the first word that opened his mouth did not come out, he coughed lightly, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Yes...... I really didn't expect that we would meet again, Ning An...... Mr. ”
