Chapter 168: Zhou Mi 169 Bane appears in the underground labyrinth
Regulus Black placed Quirrell as a butler in his Scarlet Manor and was in charge of the marketing of future jewels, so that he could be drawn into his family.
This arrangement would allow for contact with the wizarding world, access to the upper echelons of the Muggle community, and an important asset marketing thing.
Nothing could have made Quirrell's heart tick more than that, and of course not letting him go out and have an adventure was a reason why the province was being targeted by some Death Eaters.
"Are you saying that these gems are actually the product of alchemy, and are they going to make a lot of money in the Muggle world?"
Quirrell was a former Muggle Studies professor and had studied human history, and among those human crimes, there were many kinds of abduction and theft, and Quirrell just thought it was interesting to talk about the fake gems that Regulus Black was going to sell.
And he thought that such a thing would not last long, so he thought that it was just a temporary interest of Regulus Black.
Make a lot of money, wizards have done this kind of thing, don't laugh at the second, the wizarding world has done the same thing before the system is formed, in order to get the potions, materials, wealth and even population they want.
During the darkest period of Europe, it was also a time when dark wizards were rampant, and lords from all over the world preferred to live in uncomfortable castles to escape assassination and theft, and even then rumors of evil witches and evil wizards still flowed.
It was also during the witch hunt in the human Muggle world that the wizarding world experienced the madness and determination of the Muggles, and although no wizards were harmed, the Muggles put an end to the rampant behavior of the Dark Wizards with the method of 'I'm crazy and even kill myself'.
In the Middle Ages, there was a large-scale witch hunt, which was equivalent to the Muggle Wizarding War, and some of the minor wizards were executed because they couldn't control their magic and were discovered, which shook the wizarding world.
In 1692, the International Wizards' Secrecy Act came into force, which led to government reforms in the British wizarding community, such as the establishment of a new and powerful Ministry of Magic, from a loose wizarding council.
The International Wizarding Secrecy Act is one of the cornerstones of HP's worldview, artificially dividing the world into wizarding and Muggle worlds. The wizarding world recognizes the existence of the Muggle world and does not actively intervene, and the Muggle world knows almost nothing about the wizarding world.
So that in modern times there have been no large-scale wars between Muggles and wizards? So the Wizarding War didn't spill over into the Muggle world.
Although many wizards have also thought about it, comparing the automatic rifle or the Avada Curse which is more efficient is a kind of boring debate.
At the end of the Renaissance, after the witch hunt disappeared, the wizarding world also ushered in a lasting peace.
"How could I do such a deal! You must know that the Black family has the name of a duke. ”
Regulus Black took out a pea-sized ruby and placed it on the table.
"It's an alchemical product, but it's not an ordinary gemstone, it's been tested by the Muggle world's professional bodies, it's a real new gemstone on the list, and it's a refreshing gem to wear."
The rubies on the table shimmered red, emitting some kind of effect known in the Muggle world as radioactive rays.
"You added a spell to it?"
Quirrell was very interested in picking up the gem and playing with it, feeling the gem stimulate his blood to flow faster.
"The stimulus is very weak, but it is long-lasting enough, and it does not make the stress response inert because of the long-term stimulus."
Quirrell carefully sensed the energy in the gem, and everything was exactly as Regulus Black had said.
Quirrell can agree to Regulus Black's request, but he doesn't want to do evil for the other party, but after personally trying the effect of gems, this worry is completely put down, not to mention that he will be the leader in charge of gem trading in the future, and if there is a problem, it can be detected and solved as soon as possible.
"Alright! I promise your offer. ”
Quirrell put the gem down and began to discuss with Regulus Black the details of what to do, how the gem would be sold, and how it would be priced.
That night, a letter was sent by Regulus Black to Lucy Piddle, the legal counsel at Scarlet Manor.
Quirinus Quirrell will be the steward of Crimson Manor, as well as the head of sales of the Crimson Gems.
Before dawn, Dumbledore summoned Regulus Black and Quirinus Quirrell to inquire in detail about what had happened that night.
Dumbledore was not surprised by Voldemort's appearance, and Dumbledore had reservations about Quirrell's explanation, and then encouraged Quirrell to work for Regulus Black.
Sending Quirrell away, Regulus Black sat down again and began to accuse Dumbledore.
"Headmaster! It's hurtful that you still don't believe Quirrell. ”
Regulus Black began tossing Dumbledore's dessert again, piling some of the candy into Voldemort's head.
The avatar built with the hard candy pile of active cockroaches is simply more terrifying than the original head portrait on the back of the head, and even Dumbledore has no appetite to eat the cockroach pile today.
"There are times when I have a lot to think about, Regulus! I have to say that you cleaned it really clean. ”
Dumbledore waved his hand to clean up Voldemort's cockroach head, it was so disgusting to look that he couldn't talk properly.
The old bee is ready to ask for the school's property, but how can it spit out when it eats it in its mouth, it is too indecent.
Regulus Black would never have called out the three-headed Cerberus 'Louvie', the school's harp, Professor Sprout's Devil's Web, Professor Flitwick's Flying Key, Professor McGonagall's wizarding board, Professor Snape's potions bottle, and the school's property, the Mirror of Eris!
Even Neville's pet Trevor wouldn't give it back to the little fat man.
Regulus Black looked at Dumbledore with a helpless expression, but he still had to give the Headmaster a little face.
"The Philosopher's Stone is very useful to me, I hope you can give it to me."
With that, Regulus Black took out the Philosopher's Stone and placed it in front of Dumbledore.
You must know that the previous ones were not as valuable as the Philosopher's Stone, and now that Regulus Black has taken out the most valuable Philosopher's Stone, this is more like an attitude.
Dumbledore slowly began to eat a piece of sweet pastry, chewing it carefully before finishing it for a long time.
"Since it works for you, then you stay! I hope you can use the Philosopher's Stone on the right path, and I would say that the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed. ”
