213 The Ring in Hand
None of the few Ministry of Magic officials who arrived at the scene were Minister Fudge, and it seemed that none of the people who came were high-ranking officials. It was just a small riot, and I didn't invite those guys who thought highly of themselves to come to the scene in person.
"I'm the Auror Chief Rothko in charge of security at the Ministry of Magic, who is Your Excellency? Why cause trouble at the Ministry of Magic? A middle-aged man walked up to Duan Chen and opened his mouth to say the above words, and his tone was very stiff.
"Trouble at the Ministry of Magic? Hehe..."Broken Chen smiled disdainfully, "You don't wear this kind of big hat for me, I'm here to find your minister, it's just that my demon pet is a little naughty, and your subordinates are ready to be rough." Originally, you were law enforcement, and it was indeed caused by me not taking care of the demon pet, and I admit the mistake. But now I listen to you, what? Are you trying to use the name of the Ministry of Magic to suppress me? ”
Rothko's expression was stunned when he heard this, in the past, when he said these words, no matter who he was, he would definitely sell face. After all, the Ministry of Magic is undoubtedly the most powerful institution in the wizarding world. But the young man in front of him didn't seem to buy the account of the Ministry of Magic. And he opened his mouth and said that he was here to find the Minister of Magic, and he seemed so fearless that for a while Rothko didn't know what to do.
"I don't know your name?" When Roscoe asked, he lowered his posture.
"Drake."
A sentence with no beginning or end, but everyone present was stunned.
Drake?! Could it be the classical magician who has just returned to the wizarding world of Europe? The disciple grandson of the Supreme Merlin?!
There was a lot of discussion around him, but Rothko's face was hard to see. If the young man in front of him is really the rumored Merlin disciple, then the only minister who can talk to him on an equal footing is Fudge.
Broken Chen had no interest in dwelling on it. Just asked Rothko: "Is Secretary Fudge here?" If not, I'll come back another day. ”
Seeing that Broken Chen didn't let his people get off the stage. Rothko exhaled secretly and said, "Mr. Drake." Minister, he's working, and I can go and inform the Minister that you're here. ”
"Oh, then I'm bothering you." Broken Chen's very casual words made the nervousness just now come to naught, and the wizards around who originally thought there was something lively to watch were disappointed, and it seemed that many people wanted to see the jokes of the Ministry of Magic, which showed that the Ministry of Magic was not popular.
After some tossing, Broken Chen was taken to a luxurious reception room.
"Mr. Drake, please wait a moment. Minister: He'll be right away. Rothko served him a cup of coffee and withdrew.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat body walked into the living room, accompanied by several subordinate wizards, and when he saw Broken Chen, his shiny face was full of earnest smiles: "Hello, Mr. Drake. Connelly. Fudge, currently Minister of Magic. ”
As the object of the Ministry of Magic's attention, Fudge had certainly seen the portrait of Broken Chen, so he could recognize it at a glance. The person who came was none other than the disciple of the Supreme Merlin.
When Duanchen saw his bowed head, he couldn't help but be happy, it was really a central not long.
Holding back a smile, Broken Chen stretched out his hand: "Hello Minister Fudge." I'm Drake, and I'm sorry to visit today. ”
Fudge shook his hand flatteringly. Complimented, "It's an honor for Mr. Drake to be here at the Ministry of Magic. ”
The courtesy is over. The people in the room were seated separately.
"I don't know, Mr. Drake came to the Ministry of Magic, what advice do you have?" Fudge knew that Broken Chen belonged to the kind of person who would go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. So just get straight to the point.
Broken Chen smiled faintly: "That's the case, when I was studying in the United States with my teacher Balthazar, the teacher once asked me to do one thing, that is, to take back all the magic items that belonged to the classical school, and now I have collected most of them, but I still lack a magic ring." ”
Hearing this, Fudge's face couldn't help but change, he already knew the purpose of Broken Chen, which was the magic ring that their Ministry of Magic had collected, the Demon Phoenix Ring. Although no one can use this magic ring, it is one of the most valuable items in the Ministry of Magic's collection, and it is impossible to give it lightly. But Broken Chen had already carried Balthazar out, and he had to give it again.
"Mr. Drake, we do have a magic ring in our Ministry of Magic, but—" Fudge's face was full of embarrassment, and he stopped talking.
Broken Chen knew that he was trying to bargain, with Balthazar as the backstage, he had to give this Demon Phoenix Ring and whether he gave it or not, and now he made such a gesture just to get some benefits from him.
"Minister Fudge, I know that my request is a bit difficult, but this is the task that my teacher has given me, and as a descendant of the Classical School of Magic, I have an obligation and responsibility to complete it. Of course, if there is anything that the Ministry of Magic needs help in the future, I will definitely help. Broken Chen said with a smile, as for how much of the content of this is true, and how much of it is a blank check, it is unknown.
Fudge's face softened, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes, although he hid it very well, but it still made Broken Chen notice, and it could only be said that the minister's qi cultivation kung fu was not yet at home, and he couldn't be happy and angry.
Fudge made an atmospheric look of reluctance: "Since Mr. Drake has said so, well, on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I agree to return the Ring." ”
"Thank you for your understanding, Secretary Fudge." Broken Chen's fake thanks, since you want to act, you must play it in place.
Half an hour later, after receiving the Ring of the Phoenix, Broken Chen politely declined Fudge's invitation to the banquet, left the Ministry of Magic, and used Floo Powder to reach the planned second destination, Romania.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be so easy to get it, and the identity of the Supreme Merlin Descendant is really easy to use." Broken Chen walked on the road, touching the Demon Phoenix Ring in his hand while muttering to himself, "In this way, there are three magic rings, which can accept three apprentices, Hermione and Harry are already determined, and there is still a place that is temporarily vacant, Ron still owes the shortcomings qualifications." ”
Putting away the Demon Phoenix Ring, Broken Chen took out the map and looked at it. He came to Romania for a clear purpose. It's for the dragons here. The Black Forest of Romania is home to many species of dragons, and is home to the largest research institute in the wizarding world. Specializes in a wide variety of dragons.
As for whether to catch one and go back as a pet, Broken Chen doesn't really care. Because of the fact that there is a divine beast of the level of Lucifer, and a demon beast of the same level as Candle Jiuyin, the Western Evil Dragon, he doesn't value it very much.
Romania, Magic Dragon Institute;
At first glance, the institute looked like a reptile exhibit, except that inside the iron cages where the magic had been applied to consolidate them, it was not lizards and snakes, but real dragons.
Wandered around casually. Broken Chen found that whether it was the Ministry of Magic or this Demon Dragon Research Institute, the security precautions were very lax, and outsiders could enter and exit whenever they wanted, perhaps it was really comfortable for too long, so that the wizards in the magic world all lost their sense of crisis.
Finally, a young man found out about the uninvited guest of Duan Chen, and took the initiative to come forward and ask, "Hello, who are you?" ”
The young man had short red hair, freckles on his face, and a slight resemblance to Ron's face.
"My name is Drake. I came here to visit the institute. Broken Chen said with a smile.
Who knew that the young man's face became very ugly after hearing Duan Chen's answer: "I'm sorry, our institute is very formal, and no one is allowed to come in and visit without permission." Please leave immediately. ”
Broken Chen was stunned, he had been in the world of Harry Potter for so long, except for Voldemort. It was the first time he had seen someone so unkind to him, and to look at this young man. It seems that he doesn't know his identity.
"Hehe, what do you mean by normal? The guard at the door was still napping when I came in. And I came in here and walked around, and you were the only one who came to ask me from beginning to end, is this also called formal? Broken Chen asked funny.
Being cut off like this, the young man blushed, and he didn't know how to answer for a long time.
At this time, an old man in a research uniform walked over: "Charlie, what are you doing here when you don't go to work?" ”
"Professor Baker, I caught someone coming in without permission, so I stopped him." The young man named Charlie hurriedly replied.
Hearing this, Professor Baker carefully looked at the judge who was standing aside, looked a little suspicious, and asked, "Hello, I am Radom, the head of the institute. Beck, are you Mr. Drake? ”
Broken Chen nodded politely: "Hello Professor Baker, I am Drake." ”
Hearing Broken Chen's answer, a smile appeared on Professor Baker's face: "Mr. Drake, I have seen your portrait before, and I welcome you to the Demon Dragon Research Institute, I don't know what you have to do here?" ”
"Actually, it's not much, I've been traveling recently, and I thought that there is a place in Romania that specializes in dragons, so I wanted to stop by and have a look."
"I see, you are very welcome to visit." Professor Baker said and pointed to Charlie, "This young man is Charlie, Charlie. Weasley, he's so focused on his research, and if he offends you, please forgive me. ”
"Not so strict, Professor Baker." Broken Chen waved his hand, "I think he was able to stop me, he really did the right thing, and you should praise him." ”
Dr. Baker smiled and nodded yes, while Charlie scratched his head in embarrassment.
"By the way, Professor Baker, I just need your help with something, can we find a place to talk?" Broken Chen said.
"Of course, please come to my office, and we'll talk there." Professor Baker finished speaking, and turned to lead the way.
Charlie knew that he would not be able to keep up, so he took the initiative to quit and go back to do his research. Broken followed Professor Baker to an office, where he poured him a cup of coffee.
"Mr. Drake, what do you need my help with?" Professor Baker asked.
"That's right, I want to go into the Black Forest." Broken Chen said.
